Someday You Will Be Loved

 

Chapter 13

 

“Kagome what?” Sesshoumaru asked, his voice rising.

 

“Kagome was in an accident,” Inuyasha repeated. “I just got the news from Sango.”

 

“What happened?” Sesshoumaru questioned him, “What is Kagome's condition?”

 

“All I know is what Sango told me.”

 

“And what did she tell you, whelp?”

 

“She said Kagome had been really upset earlier this evening and had called her to come over,” Inuyasha paused, taking a deep breath, “Kagome wanted to find you, so she called Dad and got the address of your retreat. Sango thought she had talked Kagome into waiting until morning to go, but evidently…well you know.”

 

Sesshoumaru's voice was low, almost feral, as he asked his next question, “And her condition, what of it?”

 

“Critical,” Inuyasha answered, “She... She's in Intensive care right now, and the doctor says it doesn't look good. He said it seems like she's giving up. Like she doesn't want to live.”

 

“Damn you, Inuyasha!” Sesshoumaru growled, “This is your fault. The next time I see you, you better run if you want to live.”

 

“What the fuck!” Inuyasha yelled back, “How the HELL is this my fault?”

 

“You had to be persistent, didn't you? You couldn't stand that Kagome was with me, but tell me, what did you say to her, to get her to kiss you like that?”

 

“Huh?” Inuyasha was stumped momentarily, “You came home just as I kissed her. Then I bet you ran off to your little private house and wouldn't listen to her.”

 

“That is none of your business, half-breed,” Sesshoumaru bit out.

 

“Oh, shut up you arrogant ass!” Inuyasha seethed, “She didn't want to kiss me, and she didn't even want me! Couldn't you tell she was struggling against me? Sesshoumaru, she told me that she loved you. I was angry and jealous, so I kissed her to try to convince her otherwise.”

 

“And did it work?”

 

Inuyasha could hear the sarcasm in Sesshoumaru's voice, “No it didn't bastard. But it was your distrust of her that made Kagome go out to find you. Think about that!”

 

Sesshoumaru heard the click of the phone and knew Inuyasha had hung up on him. For the first time he had to admit that Inuyasha had been the slightest bit right.

 

If only he had listened to her. If he had gone back home, she wouldn't be in the hospital dying.

 

He grabbed his car keys and headed out the door. He knew his reasons for wanting her to live were selfish. He wanted her. He needed her. And now he knew, he loved her.

Sango sat by Kagome's bed. She looked at the bruised and battered body of her friend. Kagome was barely recognizable.

 

Sango took one of Kagome's hands and said to her tearfully, “Oh, Kagome, what did you ever do to deserve all this? You're the nicest, most caring person I have ever known. I swear I'll never let you get hurt again, if you just get better.”

 

Sango dropped her head to Kagome's bed railing sobbing, “I should have stayed. I knew you would go after him when I left. This is ALL my fault! Please forgive me Kagome.”

 

Just then Sango felt a hand on her shoulder, looking up she saw Miroku standing over her, concern evident in his eyes.

 

“Sango,” he said gently, squeezing her shoulder, “The doctor said you need to go home. Visiting hours are over.”

 

Seeing her mouth open in protest, Miroku quickly continued, “You've been here all day. You need to sleep. Besides Kagome wouldn't want you to make yourself sick.”

 

Sango knew that was true, so she gave in, standing up with a sigh. As she took Miroku's hand she turned back to Kagome.

 

“I'll be back in the morning, please get better.”

 

As the two walked down the corridor Sango spotted Kagome's doctor.

 

She reached out her hand to stop him.

 

“Please, tell me, will Kagome survive this accident? I want to know the truth.”

 

“The truth, hmm,” the doctor replied solemnly, “The truth is we have done all we can for Ms. Higurashi. Now it's up to her, if she wants to live, I believe she will.”

 

“Thank you sir,” Sango said bowing her head in a show of respect.

 

The doctor nodded at the couple before continuing down the corridor to check Kagome's stats.

Sesshoumaru gripped the steering wheel tightly as he drove towards the hospital, a million questions running through his mind.

 

Why couldn't he trust? Well, he knew the answer to that. But why could he not trust Kagome? She had never done anything to him; he should have known it was his goddamn half-brother's fault in the first place.

 

He took the small jewelry box out of his pant pocket, crushing it in his hand as he growled.

 

`Stupid human tradition! I should have just taken her as my mate. She would have had some of my blood then, and would have been healed by now!'

 

Sesshoumaru looked down at the crushed box and saw Kagome's smiling face flash in his mind. He knew why he hadn't already taken her as his mate.

 

Kagome had been talking excitedly for the past two months about her friend Ayumi's engagement and upcoming wedding. He had seen how happy she had been as she rambled on, and he wanted to give her that same kind of happiness too. That was why he was going to wed her first before taking her as his mate.

 

What a stupid mistake that had been.

 

Sesshoumaru pulled into the hospital parking lot and parked his car, getting out to head towards the dreary building.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~

 

Inuyasha sat quietly at Kagome's bedside, watching over her until his brother arrived.

 

He had royally screwed up again. Why couldn't he control his actions towards Kagome, he didn't know.

 

He did know though that he was terribly jealous of Sesshoumaru. Even though their father had sent his brother away to boarding school, he still had chosen Sesshoumaru over him to take his place at the corporation. And now Sesshoumaru held his best friend's heart as well.

 

Inuyasha finally knew what the bartender had meant. He did love Kagome, that was true, but now he just wanted her to live and be happy again, even if it was with his bastard half-brother.

 

He saw the light shift as the door swung open, followed by a low growl.

 

“Why are you here half-breed?”

 

“Chill out ice block. I was just sitting with her until you got here.”

 

“I'm here now,” Sesshoumaru stated coldly.

 

Inuyasha got up and moved towards the door, but paused turning back to Sesshoumaru, who was still watching him.

 

“I screwed up,” he said, “But now I just want her to be happy, even if it is with an arrogant ass like you.”

 

Sesshoumaru grunted in response, and Inuyasha left closing the door behind him.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~

 

Sesshoumaru turned, getting his first look of Kagome. He barely even knew her, and all this happened because his trust in her had wavered.

 

The beast inside of him whined as it saw the state of their intended.

 

Sesshoumaru walked to her bedside, dropping to his knees.

 

Nuzzling her bruised neck, he whispered to her, “Kagome, please forgive me, I've been a fool.”

 

He didn't know how long he had been like that when the doctor walked into the room.

 

“You must be Sesshoumaru,” the doctor stated, “The others said you would be here, and would probably refuse to leave.”

 

Sesshoumaru stared at the man in front of him, sizing him up, seeing if he was good enough to take care of his mate. Then he realized something, the doctor was youkai.

 

“You are a youkai,” Sesshoumaru stated still looking at him.

 

“As are you,” the doctor replied a smirk on his face.

 

Sesshoumaru watched as the doctor took Kagome's blood pressure and vitals.

 

“Is there anything else you can do to help her?”

 

“I'm afraid not, it's up to her now,” the doctor said his voice turning serious. “But there is something you could do.”

 

“What? Tell me!”

 

“If you marked her, she would have your healing abilities, but you have to be certain that she really is your mate.”

 

“I know she is,” Sesshoumaru said looking warmly down at Kagome.

 

“Alright then,” the doctor said heading to the door, “I'll leave you alone.”

 

Sesshoumaru nodded as he took his place back at Kagome's side.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~

 

As he looked at her sleeping form he thought to himself, `Does she really love me? Does she really want to be with me forever?'

 

He knew that once he marked her, she could never be with another man, but if what Inuyasha had said was true, she wanted that.

 

Sesshoumaru took his chance as he leaned over her. Bending his head towards her neck, his tongue darted out to lick the sensitive place between her shoulder and collarbone.

 

He leaned up then, placing his lips at her ear, “I love you Kagome,” he whispered.

 

After leaving her ear, he placed a kiss on her bruised lips, before running his tongue over his fangs, allowing his blood to spill freely. As he bit down on the moistened place on her neck, his blood mixed with hers. Then he drew back to look at the small wound.

 

Her blood on his lips tasted wonderfully like her and he wondered if she would wake up so he could taste her again. He could already see the mark starting to heal and bent his head again to run his tongue soothingly over the wound.

 

All he could do was hope and wait, both things he had never had the need for.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~

 

On the third day after he had marked her, Sesshoumaru sat sleeping beside Kagome's bed. The exhaustion of keeping a 72 hour vigil on her had finally taken its toll.

 

He awoke suddenly when he felt a hand squeeze his own. Looking around the room he didn't see anyone. He turned slowly, with shocked eyes, to see Kagome looking back at him, tears shimmering in her azure eyes.

 

“Sesshoumaru, you came back,” she whispered smiling.
