Chapter nine, Coma?!

Kagome runs into the white building she had left that very same morning, a place she had fallen in love with for it contained her first job. A job she worked hard to gain and now might lose, Hojo was injured - if he was paralyzed she would have to stay home and care for him, if he was just bruised still the same 'punishment.'

It wasn't as if she drove the car that smashed into her fiancees but she knew Mr Yung wouldn't allow her to continue her line of work, not now that Hojo might need her caring for him.

'Were she an evil person for wanting her fiancee to be dead?' How could she even think that? Kagome was a kind and caring person even if she didn't exactly like you, she wouldn't wish death on anyone not even her worst enemy.

If she kept chanting that over and over, she'd eventually believe it.

Now reaching the main counter she spotted Yuka, the nurse who had called, walking toward her swiftly. Kagome slightly wondered if she had been there all day, as it now was way past nine pm.

"Kagome, come with me" she motioned for the raven haired woman to follow, which she did frowning.

"Is he okay, what happened?" Kagome now demanded as they entered an elevator, Yuka hit the number two button before she answered.

"He's okay, InuYasha worked effortlessly to save him and Miss Ayumi Haneko. They are in the recovery room, but Hojo has yet to wake up, we fear he might be in a coma."

All this information was to much for Kagome as she now leaned back against the elevator wall, eyes misting over. First was the hit that InuYasha had saved her fiancee, which made her happy. But then was the information that made her sad, or more confused then anything else. Ayumi Haneko was Mr Yung's personal assistant she traveled with him everywhere, and to Kagome's recollection she had many of times tried to land hints of wanting Hojo for herself even in front of her face - trying to convince the dense man she wanted him.

What was she to think about them being with each other when the accident happened? Where Mr Yang there too, and if he was, where were he now?

Before she could debate any further the elevator door opened and Yuka stepped out, motioning for Kagome to follow. Walking down a brightly lit corridor they soon entered a room holding her fiancee and the woman he'd been with.

Ayumi was awake when they entered and she grinned at Kagome, as if hinting to her what had really happened and why they were together.

However, Kagome now walked up to the bed holding her fiancee - his head was wrapped in bandages and so was his chest. "What happened?" she wanted to know, sitting down next to him in a chair, holding his hand.

Ayumi spoke up with a rasp voice, that always made Kagome wince - guessing it was from all the smoking that woman was doing as she went through two packs a day.

"We were on our way to Mr Yang, and things came up... last thing we knew the car swerved, Hojo tried to break but it was too late as we crashed into the on going traffic."

'Things came up?' Her words rang in Kagome's head, Hojo wouldn't do that to her, would he? Was she to believe a slut or wait til her fiancee awoke then ask him? She sighs and asks if Ayumi knew were Mr Yung were, as he had not been home the whole day.

Ayumi snorts, she really hated the woman sitting next to the man she considered as hers for the taking. Of course she knew he was engaged to be married, but hey that shouldn't stop him from having fun, right? And by fun, she meant herself.

"He's in his office downtown if you must know, the number is in my cell some nurse took it, so I couldn't exactly call him." Of course she knew that when Mr Yung found out that his son was injured and in a coma, he'd chain that Kagome of his to the damn hospital bed forcing her not to leave Hojo's side. And that didn't sound to appealing to her.

Kagome gets out of the chair she just sat down in and walks out the room, trying to retrieve that cell phone.

First she calls back to the house and asks if Mr Yung was home, and to her luck he had just stepped through the door.

Then Kagome had the shorted phone call in her twenty five year old life, she tells Mr Yung that his son is in a coma, the man doesn't even reply as he hangs up.

Thirty minutes later...

Mr Yung storms into the hospital demanding to see his son. After being escorted by a nurse who now was ready to run, for this man scared the crap out her - he walks into the room throwing a death glance at Kagome, as if it was her fault.

"What happened?" He roared at Kagome, lifting his large hand only to slap her clear across the face. "That is for disobeying me!" He claimed before asking again what happened.

Kagome felt the tears burn behind her eye lids, biting her lip to ease some of the stinging pain. Holding her cheek that was quickly turning deep red - clearly showing where the hand had struck, she whimpers out the few things she knew about the accident.

When the man had taken in Kagome and her brother, he had quickly broken her down to submit to him and his strict laws. At first Kagome had fought back, but after several broken ribs and a broken leg she didn't talk back anymore, she was only eleven at the time.

Now Mr Yung did not find her explanation good enough, and quickly struck her other cheek with an equally hard blow, before storming out of the room to talk to some of the doctors or someone else in charge.

Gathering herself, Kagome stood and walked calmly out of the room not to show weakness. Once outside she burst into a run, running as hard and fast as she could - tears blinding her vision. Where would she go? She had no one, and Souta was still at the University - she needed to go back and be the woman Mr Yung had 'trained' for his son, otherwise he'd make her brother pay and Kagome knew it.

A broken soul walked slowly back to her reality, only to face more punishment for something she had not done.

The next day InuYasha pulls up to the hospital ready for his shift that once again started at five am in the morning. Sorano had been mad at him for now showing up as planed the day before, but quickly changed into a better mood when he suggested they could do anything she wanted this upcoming weekend.

She had then proceeded telling him about Rin and Sesshoumaru's constant hugging game they liked to play in the couch when they were watching TV. She was so surprised when her uncle Sess offered to put in a "my little pony" movie for her, if she allowed them to have some alone time in his study.

Sorano knew Sesshoumaru hated 'My little pony' he claimed it was to pink for him - but Sorano loved pink it was her favorite color. So now she had told her father everything, since it was so interesting.

InuYasha smiles as he walks into the white building waving at the front desk nurse, who waves back. Reaching the locker room he quickly changes into his work clothes which wasn't much - white coat, stethoscope and some stickers he had in his breast pocket for the kids he treated.

He made a mental note to talk to his brother about the whole snuggle in front of his daughter, maybe it wasn't so good - because now she was way to curious about things boys and girls did together.

He dreaded the day she'd ask him about how kids were made, but he knew it would come soon. She was eight after all.

Taking the staircase down to the ER he is greeted by a very hyper Arimi, he didn't mind her that much now. Sure she talked to much and to fast for his liking but still she was proven to be handy when it came to clammy situations.

"InuYasha! Glad to see you up and about!" she chimed handing him a clip board with a few patients who needed his attention.

Muttering a "good morning to you too", he quickly got to work.

Somewhere in his mind he made another note to check up on the people he'd saved the day before, as he heard coming in one of them were still sleeping they guessed the head trauma had cause him to slip into a deep coma.

Around lunch hour, InuYasha made his way up stairs to visit his survivors only to be greeted by a loud man who yelled at one of the nurses.

"I will not go any where until I see someone who makes any sense!" He bellowed, hovering over the small woman who looked like a scared bunny, trembling all over.

Deciding to intervene, InuYasha took a step forward raising his voice "Is there a problem here?"

The nurse took this as her chance to flee, taking off into a sprint down the hallway.

"I am Doctor Watanabe, but you can call me InuYasha, what seem to be the problem Mr..."

Reaching out his hand the large man took it shaking firmly, "Mr Yung." He filled in now a lot calmer.

"Well would you please enlighten me with your issues, Mr Yung" InuYasha tried again, now standing in front of the man who had a grim expression on his beared covered face.

"My son, Hojo Yung is in a coma and I can not find anyone to tell me what is happening to him and why this occurred." InuYasha now nodded, "ah yes, I was the physician who treated your boy at the scene and all the way back here."

InuYasha quickly went through the information with the tall man, who kind of gave him the creeps. Maybe it was the way his knuckles were hard with dead skin indicating a lot of people had met it up close and personal, so to speak.

Now walking into the room holding his patient, InuYasha himself was curious why Hojo had slipped into a state of unconsciousness - maybe he had over looked something.

However as they enter the room, InuYasha feels his blood boil in pure anger and frustration as his eyes land on a bruised and beaten Kagome sitting close to his patient, eyes downcast.

"Kagome?" He speaks up, walking toward her taking her chin to examine the swollen cheeks. "Who the hell did this to you?" He asks before the dark headed woman could stop him, her whole being reeked of fear and nervousness.

Glancing back he sees Mr Yung standing with his arms crossed over his chest, taking in the image where another man touched what was rightfully his sons. Eyes flashing with pure evil, InuYasha takes a step back from the woman who he'd come to lust for.

'So', he thought,'this Hojo guy is her fiancee and that pig over there is the man who chained her to that promise. He had no fucking right to touch her like that!' Once again he glances at Kagome, who sits like a withering flower facing her lap.

The more he drinks in her beaten form the more pissed off he gets, as he now takes two large steps toward the man known as Mr Yung.

"Why the fuck did you hit her?" He snarled, eyes slightly turning red and blue as this clearly awoke his beast form. The man stares wide eyed into the eyes of a monster, slowly backing out the door down the hallway with InuYasha still only an arms length away refusing to break eye contact.

Luckily the hallway is empty, as the hospital staff was scared of the man that InuYasha now had backed into a corner.

He was about to strike the man, heck even kill him - when a firm hand pressed down on his shoulder "No, InuYasha." The cold voice cracks him out of his revengeful mind, as it could only belong to one person - Sesshoumaru.

Mr Yung stares wide eyed and lets out a low scream that came out more like a harsh breath, as he now stared into another mans red eyes. His mind screamed it wasn't real it wasn't real! As he wetted his pants, before gaining the ability to run - which he did fleeing down the empty hallway.
