Midnight Stalker:

Chapter 11:

An Empty Feeling

~*~*~*

Miroku and Sango were at Inuyasha and Kagome's apartment putting things in boxes and stacking them up by the door. It was moving day and the couple wanted to help out in anyway. Shippo was packing his stuff at his old apartment so Miroku could pick him and his stuff up later on in the day. Inuyasha spent most of his time at the hospital along with Kagome's family hoping she would wake up soon. It's been 3 weeks since the incident and Kouga found out a lot of things about Hojo.

~*FLASHBACK~*

Inuyasha was sitting in a chair next to Kagome's bed holding her hand while Kagome's mother was also sitting in a chair reading a magazine in the corner of the room, Sango and Miroku were both outside the door talking while looking in through a window incase something happened. Grandpa was talking to a doctor about what kind of medicine they were using to make her wake up……… which was none. Kagome's father and little bother were playing cards on the table that the doctors put in the room so the family could have lunch while staying with Kagome.

"Inuyasha"

Inuyasha looked up to see Mrs Higurashi looking at him smiling. "Why don't you go for a walk… you've been sitting there all day."

"No, I don't want to leave her side." Inuyasha put his head down on her stomach to listen to her breath.

Mrs. Higurashi frowned and looked at her husband who just shrugged his shoulders for he knew there was nothing that could make Inuyasha leave Kagome's side. Sango and Miroku walked into the room and looked around at everyone when suddenly Sango cleared her throat

"We have something to say."

Everyone but Inuyasha looked at the couple holding hands.

"Miroku and I have decided to postpone our wedding……… Kagome is my maid of honor and it just wouldn't feel right if she wasn't there and no one would be able to take her place……… not that I would want anyone else by my side." Miroku squeezed her hand and gave her a little smile, which she returned.

Everyone nodded their heads in understanding and went back to what they were doing before.

Sango walked up to Inuyasha and put her hand on his shoulder and gentle squeezed. There were things said between them without words having to be spoken.

A moment later Amy came in to check in on Kagome when Kouga walked in thru the door with a look Inuyasha did not like.

"What." Kouga looked at Inuyasha and sighed, He did not want to tell him but he had no choice.

"Some other officers and I went to Hojo's apartment and we found some………stuff."

"What kind of stuff?" Inuyasha asked paying full attention to Kouga

"It turns out that not only was his apartment right across the street and he could see into yours but he had some stuff of hers hidden in his room like……… Under where, Jewelry, Pictures, and perfume." Kouga walked up to Inuyasha and handed him a bag full of jewelry and one of them was a ring that was pink with little purple spots on the sides.

Kagome's mom got up and took the ring with a worried look. " Kagome got this when she was little from one of her friends when they moved away………she was so heart broken when she thought she lost it that she cried for weeks but that was five years ago."

"Kikyo didn't even know Hojo till three years later" Kagome's dad replied going to his wife's side.

"Hojo was a kid who went to one of Kagome's school for a week about six years ago and during that time became total enthralled with her and has been stalking her ever since……… in these types of cases we call them Midnight Stalkers (A.N: I just made that up.) Because the stalker doesn't let on that the person is being stalked at all."

~*~*~*End Of Flash Back~*~*~*

Sango sighed as she remembered Inuyasha going crazy after the information Kouga gave them that he was told by the staff he had to leave if he couldn't calm down. Ever since then he wouldn't talk to anyone but Kagome.

~*~*~* 11 Months Later~*~*~*

Inuyasha is walking down a large hallway when he comes up to a desk with a women in a nurse uniform sitting in a chair doing paper work. "Hello Inuyasha, how are you doing lately?"

"Hi Amy, not so well …I keep having dreams of the accident and it keeps me up all night."

"I'm sorry to hear that, have you tried warm milk? That always puts me to sleep." Amy said with a smile on her face.

"No, I'll try it tonight" Inuyasha took out ribbon that Kagome used to where from his pocket and rub it with his thumb for a moment. "Has she improved at all since yesterday?"

"No I'm sorry she hasn't but there is still a chance she could wake up. You can go see her if you want, I'm sure the doctors won't mind"

"Thanks" Inuyasha then put the ribbon back in his pocket and walk to Kagome's room where she has been for almost a year in a coma. He grabbed a chair and brought it over to her bed and sat down. Inuyasha grabbed her hand and looked at the ring on her finger. " I remember the look you had on your face when I gave that to you…you were so happy that I finally asked you that you started to cry" He said with smile on his face. " We would have been married for two months now…I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you, I should be the one in that bed not you Kagome, not you!" Inuyasha squeezed Kagome's hand and started to cry. After a couple minutes he put his head on her stomach and closed his eyes. He stayed there just listening to her breathing and fell asleep. He started to dream of the day it all started… the events that would lead up to her accident… of the guy who put her there.

Inuyasha woke up to Amy checking her Vidal signs when she looked over and saw him awake.

"Sorry I didn't mean to wake you I was just checking Kagome."

"Its ok……… I should go anyway, Shippo is getting home from school soon."

"Okay, I'll see you later."

"Yeah bye."

Inuyasha walked out of the hospital and to his car and was thinking of what happened the last 11 months; How Sango was promoted to chief of police and Miroku head of the missing for finding 80% of them and having 50% alive. Souta became the star of his soccer team and having girls run after him. Inuyasha started laughing remembering the time souta came to him to ask how to get rid of girls but was told that one day he would want girls to come after him, lets just say he was not happy about that fact. Keade past away a month after Kagome was put in the hospital so Shippo moved in with Inuyasha and had a rough start with out Kagome or Keade there and not liking Inuyasha that much but he got over it and started kindergarten with Rin in his class and they have hardly been apart ever since. Sesshomaru, Sango, and Miroku made sure that him and shippo were ok and helped out with anything they needed and he was very grateful for it.

Inuyasha drove up into his driveway and saw the school bus coming down the street. He waited for shippo to jump off the bus when it stopped and saw he had something in his hand.

"Whats that Shippo?"

"Its for mom when she wakes up, It's a picture of the three of us in a field with flowers and me and Rin are picking them and uncle Miroku, Aunt Sango, and Uncle Sesshomaru talking with you and mom and grandma Keade looking at as from heaven, Souta is playing soccer and grandma and grandpa H. are giving us presents!! Do you think mom will like it?"

"Yeah, she'll love it."

Inuyasha and Shippo walked into the house and Shippo went upstairs to put his school stuff away. The phone started to ring so Inuyasha picked it up.

" Yasha speaking."

"Inuyasha, Its Amy."

Inuyasha started to panic. Amy never called and since she was still working then something happened to Kagome.

"What happened?"

"You should come down here as soon as you can."

"Why?"

"Because Kagome………
