“What if history repeats itself though? What if she really isn’t his mate?”
“This time is different, and I know it! Kagome is Inuyasha’s mate and you know that!” Izayoi answered, “Now stop worrying about useless things and go back to the hospital! The doctors won’t give them any information unless you’re there.”
“Fine. Fine. Im going.” Inutaishou huffed as he pushed himself off the couch.
“Bye, bye, now.” Izayoi smiled as she watched her husband leave. ‘So my little boy really did find his mate.’ Izayoi thought as a small smile graced itself upon her lips, ‘I hope everything works out all right though...’

Night had finally settled upon the hectic city, when Inutaishou had finally made it back to the hospital. Upon entering the room, Inutaishou was met by the eerie din of medical equipment. Kagome was asleep in her bed with Inuyasha by her side, awake. Miroku and Sango, on the other hand, were slouching side by side in two chairs at the foot of the bed. Sango's head was resting upon Miroku's shoulder, while Miroku's head had come to rest slightly on top of hers.
"Inuyasha," Inutaishou quietly said, making Inuyasha jump slightly and turn his attention away from Kagome's sleeping form. "Come here," he concluded somewhat sternly.
Inuyasha looked hesitantly from Kagome and back toward his father, unsure if he wanted to leave Kagome or not. Seeing this Inutaishou sighed.
"She will be fine, and if anything happens we will be right outside the door," Inutaishou remarked and sighed once again as he watched his son decide that Kagome would be fine with him gone for a few minutes, before he silently followed him out into the hallway.
"Has a doctor been by yet?" Inutaishou questioned positioning himself comfortably against the wall, as Inuyasha braced himself up again the railing.
"Yeah, one came in about fifteen minutes ago, " Inuyasha answered smoothly as he kept one ear turned toward the room, just incase Kagome woke up. The last thing that he wanted was for her to think that he had broken the promise he had made to her only hours before.
"What did they say?" Inutaishou inquired quickly.
"They wouldn't tell me anything other then that she is getting better," he commented back as his ear twitched, alerting him of a small movement within the room.
"You didn't press them for information? I'm shocked!"
"I wouldn't have fought with him, when Kagome was sleeping. She needs her rest," Inuyasha scowled slightly as he turned his head to peak inside Kagome's room.
"Very well. I will go find out what is exactly happening. I will be back soon," Inutaishou stated before beginning to stalk down the almost empty hallway.
"Dad, Wait!" Inuyasha whispered loud enough for him to hear, as he crossed his arms over his chest. His gaze tilted downward.
"What is it?" Inutaishou asked briskly, his gaze narrowing sightly as he turned around.
"About earlier," Inuyasha started sadly, his eyes locked on the floor. "Im sorry! I didn't mean t.."
"Stop!" Inutaishou commanded forcefully. "This is not the time, nor the place to be talking about this. I told you before we will discuss this when we return home. That is that. End of discussion!” He finished before he continued on his way before Inuyasha could even utter one word.
A slight mumble inside the room shook Inuyasha from his stupor. 'Is she awake?' Inuyasha thought rapidly as he rushed back inside only to find her still fast asleep. 'Must've been talking in her sleep' Inuyasha concluded as he watched Kagome peacefully sleep in her bed. Without sparing a glance at the sleeping couple in the chairs, Inuyasha carefully made his way over to the chair next to Kagome's hospital bed. Sitting down beside her, Inuyasha took her hand in his. 'I'm glad you're getting better. Even thought I haven't known you for very long, I don't know what I would do without you,' Inuyasha thought as he rested his head on the side of her bed and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Flashback
---------------
Blood. That's the first thing he smelled when he came to. Was he supposed to smell blood? Probably not, but it was there. Lots of blood, it smelled familiar, but he couldn't place whose it was. Oh well, he didn't much care. His entire body felt like it was tearing him apart from the inside out. His head felt like it was being struck by a sledge hammer repeatedly. Actually, a sledge hammer would've probably felt better then what he was feeling now. Maybe if he could find a cliff with nice sharp rocks at the bottom he could gracefully jump over and have it kill him instantly. Anything to get rid of the pain that was blasting its way through his body.
'What's happening to me?!' Inuyasha’s thoughts roared as pain continued to immobilize him on the ground. His head pounded as he attempted to open his eyes, but even that seemed too painful to even attempt more than once. He then tried to move his arms, in hope that maybe it would dull the pain just a little, but he was wrong. If anything the pain intensified.
'Damn it!' his mind cursed, but suddenly Inuyasha felt a wave of drowsiness overtake him, numbing a great amount of the pain. 'Feels nice,' Inuyasha thought as he started to drift off into the solitude of his mind. Though just as he was about to completely pass out, he heard a voice that sounded a lot like his father's yell, "Inuyasha what have you done!"
Inuyasha would have snorted if he had not been in so much pain, but his last lingering thought before he fell asleep once again was, 'I didn't do anything wrong'.

"Inuyasha!" Inutaishou growled as he continued to shake his son awake. Inuyasha suddenly woke up and jolted to his feet, nearly knocking over the chair that he was sitting in. His breath was ragged and shallow as he steadied himself. He finally noticed that his father was standing next to him, a frown etched upon his features as he began to speak.
"Finally! I have been shaking you for the last five minutes trying to wake you up!" Inutaishou growled, his eyes narrowing at his son.
"Sorry," Inuyasha rasped out trying to calm his choppy breathing and rapidly beating heart. 'Why did that memory have to come back now of all times?!' Inuyasha thought slowly as his breathing finally slowed down too normal.
"Did something happen? You look extremely pale?" Inutaishou questioned in a concerned manner.
"No. Nothing happened. Just got startled," Inuyasha pretended to huff as he crossed his arms before saying."What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said that Kagome has been cleared from the threat of ARDS, and that if we wanted Kagome could come home today. Though, she will have to be on bed rest for a few days and she will be on medication to help clear up the pneumonia. It's up to you to decide though, do you want Kagome to stay her? Or do you want to take her home today, but mind you if we take her home today YOU will be the one taking care of her. Not anyone else, got that?"
"Yeah, yeah I got it! She’s coming home today!" Inuyasha answered stubbornly as his father watched him with weary eyes.
"Very well, I will go have the doctor sign her release forms. Make sure Kagome is up, as well as Miroku and Sango, by the time I get back," Inutaishou stated in a monotone voice, before quickly leaving the room. Once he saw his father disappear through the door, Inuyasha turned toward Kagome. He clenched his hands into fists as he watched her sleep peacefully, not a care in the world. 'Why! Why now of all times do I have to remember the past, something that I long so much to forget! I have Kagome here with me now, and I won't let anything change that' he thought fiercely as he unclenched his fist and knelt down beside Kagome.
"Kagome, wake up," Inuyasha whispered softly in her ear, as he shook her shoulder lightly. Kagome stirred lightly, but didn't wake up. So Inuyasha tried again, "Come on Kagome, you need to wake up! If you don't wake up now, you won't be able to come home today," Inuyasha whispered again in her ear, this time successfully waking her up.
"Mmmumph," Kagome mumbled as she slowly woke up. Opening her eyes, Kagome found herself staring directly into Inuyasha's eyes "Inuyasha, you're here," she mumbled out.
"Keh, Of course I'm here! I promised didn't I? Did you really think that I would go back on a promise? Geeze you really are dense aren't you.." Inuyasha ranted as Kagome started to laugh. "Hey what's so funny!" Inuyasha yelled defensively thinking that she was laughing at him.
"You," Kagome laughed as she watched Inuyasha's face twist from annoyance to confusion.
"Me?! How am I funny?" Inuyasha questioned, confused.
"I did know that you would be here when I woke up, I just didn't expect you to be the first thing I saw when I woke up. Then you started ranting about how little faith I had in you because I thought you weren't going to be here when I did think you were. And I thought it was cute" Kagome confessed trying to look Inuyasha in the eyes.
"Keh, whatever," Inuyasha replied as he turned away from her, a small blush settling upon his face when she called him cute. Neither spoke for a minute, until Inuyasha finally said "You're coming home today."
"Huh? Today?" Kagome questioned
"That's what I said isn't it! But that means you have to stay in bed and rest for a few days! You're not allowed to do stuff that will make you worse, and I will be there watching you so don't even try it!" Inuyasha threatened.
"When can we leave?"
"As soon as my dad gets back, speaking of which," Inuyasha paused and turned his attention to two sleeping figures on the other side of the room. "Oi you two wake up before I tell everyone you two know that you were cuddling!" Inuyasha yelled causing Sango and Miroku to slowly wake up, but when they realized the position they were in, they both jumped apart, faces red.
Miroku was just about to say something when Inutaishou strode back into the room,
"Time to leave"
