InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Shattered Glass ❯ Chapter 13 ( Chapter 13 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

A/N: I made a mistake in the first chapter it says that Kagome had been in the Center since she was 3...but I accidently did that she has been there since she was 4 I'm going to go change it later. Also since it is 4:00 in the morning and I have yet to go to sleep there might be grammer errors that I have missed but I will check it over again when I get some sleep...but I wanted to get this up for everyone to read.!

-------------------------------
'What's going on' Kagome thought as she opened her eyes slightly only to see blinding white lights flashing above creating bright white blurs. 'So dizzy' Kagome thought before darkness overcame her head.

Flashback:

Mind you all Kagome is FOUR in this flashback.

"Mommy?" a four year old Kagome cried as she slowly walked through the snowy park in search of her missing mother. Stifling a sob Kagome continued to walked through the ice cold snow, but froze when she heard a muffled scream, paralyzing her. 'That sounded like mommy.' Kagome thought frantically as she headed into the wooded area where she thought she heard her mother scream. Passing the trees Kagome finally came into a small clearing where her eyes widened in shock and fear; in the middle of the clearing was her mother face lying face down with a pool of blood around her tainting the pure white snow a deep crimson color.

"Mommy?" Kagome cried as she ran towards her injured mother. "Mommy?" Kagome said as tears fell from her eyes as she started to shake her mothers shoulder. "Mommy, please wake up.PLEASE" Kagome cried again as tears started to flow freely from her small eyes as she sat down in the snow next to her mother, with tears continuing to fall.

A small whisper of her name caused her to look at her mother once again.

"Mommy?" Kagome said hopefully.

"Kagome, listen to me you have to get away from here as fast as you can." Her mother wheezed

"Mommy what are you talking about! I'm not going to leave you here!" Kagome cried.

"You have to Kagome! I need you to go home and tell you father what happened, and it's the only way for you to be safe."

"No mommy I don't want to leave you and I'm safe now" Kagome cried as she wiped some of the tears off of her cheeks.

"Kagome please, you aren't safe here, he will come back!" Kagome's mother said as she broke into a fit of coughs.

"I don't want to go mommy!" Kagome yelled

"Kagome remember what I told you about evil demons?" Kagome mother said hoarsely.

"Yes...You said that not all demons like free humans and some of them might try to attack us..and if they ever tried to run away." Kagome said as her tears started to stop.

"Good now I need you to run away Kagome! One of the evil demons is here and you need to go home and tell you father." Kagome's mother said her voice barely above a whisper.

"But mommy!" Kagome protested another round of tears flowing from her eyes.

"GO Kagome! Go NOW!" Kagome's mother said loudly as possible before she started choking once again.

"What about you mommy?"

"I'll be fine Kagome, just hurry and go I'll see you soon. I love you my little girl." Kagomes mother said as her voice faded completely.

"Mommy?" Kagome said wondering why her mom had stopped talking. 'Mommy told me to go...I have to..' Kagome thought as she ran away from her mothers side and through the park. 'I have to find daddy, like mommy said, he can make her better again!' thought as she ran down the streets and up to the shrine that her family owned. Once she reached the top of the stairs her eyes widened in disbelief, her house was engulfed in flames.

"Daddy!" Kagome cried again before the world around her turned black.

-------------------------------------------------
"We'r e losing her!" the doctor yelled frantically as once again as Kagome's heart stopped beating again and a loud beep sounded through the room.

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled as he tried to get near her only to have Miroku and Sango hold him back.

"Inuyasha stop! There is nothing you can do, let the doctors save her" Miroku scolded as he tired to hold back the scared and angry hanyou who had been listening outside the door of the operating room.

"No! LET GO OF ME!" Inuyasha yelled as he continued to jerk back and forth trying to free his arms.

"Inuyasha stop it! If you rush in there now you will only make it worse, let the doctors work on her, she will be fine I know it." Sango said reassuringly.

"NO! I'm going in there le.." Inuyasha tried to say before he felt a heavy amount of pressure on his neck causing him to pass out.

"Wha..?" Miroku said as he looked behind Inuyasha only to see Inutaisho, Inuyasha's father standing behind him.

"Don't worry he will be fine I just pushed a pressure point which caused him to pass out, he should wake in an hour or two." Inutaisho said to the two confused faces as he grabbed Inuyasha from them and slung him over his shoulder and set him down on a chair next to the door.

"Now tell me what happened." Inutaisho said as he turned to the two; a serious expression crossing his face.

"We were walking on the ice covered pond in the park, when the ice started to crack so we all rushed off. Me and Sango made it to the land but Kagome was too far away to make it in time and before anyone knew it, the ice around her cracked and she fell in. Inuyasha saw her fall into the water and he turned around and jumped in after her. Then when Inuyasha had finally brought her back to shore she wasn't breathing so he told me to call an ambulance while he tried to use CPR, but she didn't respond to it." Miroku said grimly looking away.

"What happened after that?" Inutaisho pressed.

"A minute had only passed when the ambulance arrived and they immediately tried to get her heart to beat again and it did; but just now Inuyasha heard them say that she her heart stopped beating and that they were losing her; he just lost it." Miroku finished.

"I see, this is very bad." Inutaisho said but was startled when the door of the emergency room opened and a doctor with sandy brown hair and dark green eyes stepped out.

"Are you Mr.. Taisho? The one who brought the girl here?" The doctor addressed Inutaisho.

"No my son did." Inutaisho replied calmly.

"Very well since you are related may I speak to you in private?" The doctor asked taking out his clip board.

"Very well." Inutaisho said following the doctor and leaving Sango, Miroku, and a sleeping Inuyasha alone.

"The girl that you son brought in is in very critical condition, we were able to get her heart to once again start beating but that is not the problem anymore." The doctor paused a moment before continuing. "It seems she have a very serious case of pneumonia. Pneumonia is a serious infection causing inflammation to one or both lungs, and in this case it is both. The air sacs in her lungs are filled with fluid and pus, making it difficult for her to breathe. When the air sacs in the lungs' fill it impairs their main function, which is to get oxygen from the air into the bloodstream. If there is too little oxygen in the blood, the cells in the body can't work properly." The doctor said solemnly.

"What is going to happen now?" Inutaisho asked as calmly as possible. 'If Kagome dies, Inuyasha will go on a rampage and I am sure of it.' Inutaisho thought

"The next 48hours are critical, we will have to monitor her every breath, because if worse comes to worse the pneumonia could cause ARDS." The doctor added.

"What exactly does that mean?" Inutaisho asked.

"ARDS stands for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and it is a medical emergency. It is commonly caused by pneumonia. ARDS develops as inflammation and injury to the lung and causes a buildup of fluid in the air sacs. This fluid inhibits the passage of oxygen from the air into the bloodstream. The fluid buildup also makes the lungs heavy and stiff, and the lungs' ability to expand is severely decreased. Blood concentration of oxygen can remain dangerously low in spite of supplemental oxygen delivered by a mechanical ventilator (breathing machine) through an endotracheal tube which is also know as a breathing tube." The doctor answered. "The symptoms usually develop within 24 to 48 hours of the original injury or illness. That is why it is so critical for us to watch over her now because we can not guarantee that she will live more then three days, if she contracts ARDS"

"I see, do whatever you have to, no matter what the expense is." Inutaisho replied.

"Very well." The doctor said before he scurried out of sight.

"You can come out now, Inuyasha."

"She might die..." Inuyasha whispered as he walked out from behind the wall, his bangs shielding his eyes.

"She will live, she is strong; even though she doesn't act like it.."

"It will be all my fault if she dies.."

"Don't you have any faith in her?" Inutaisho asked accusingly.

"OF COURSE I DO!" Inuyasha shouted angrily at his father.

"Then why do you insist on saying that she might die, if you had more faith in her you would not be saying things like that." Inutaisho responded.

"I just don't want to lose her..."
