InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Until Angels Close My Eyes ❯ Come To Me ( Chapter 4 )

The chill of the night and a high pitched scream woke me from my dreamless sleep. The room was darker then ever before and it seemed to get darker with each passing second. I tried to get out of bed to head to the door when something touched me. I eeped and fell backwards into something firm. Looking up I felt my cheeks heat up as golden eyes looked down at me.

 

" I wouldn't if I was you." He whispered as I heard another scream fill the air. What was going on? What was making that horrible sound. I cast my sight to the door hoping he would understand and let me go. " You shouldn't see something like this."

 

" And what is it that you do not wish for me to see." He pulled me closer and I could feel my heartbeat quicken. Was he trying to comfort me?

 

" Doctors ran passed our door not too long ago." I frowned and why shouldn't I have? He was trying not to answer my question, clearly hiding the information from me. Why? " You should go back to sleep." He whispered and I shivered not because of the cold that had a hold on me wherever he wasn't touching, it was that he said it so close to my ear. Sure I'm tired but what of it?

 

" I want to go out to the hallway."

 

" Why?" He wasn't making this easy. I want to know whats going on! I want to know why I hear a woman screaming, why I hear doctors whisper in hush tones, and why I have this feeling thats gripping me, telling me its best to find out whats happening before I close my eyes once more for the night.

 

" Please?" I hear and feel him sigh as he lets go of me making the warmth he had around vanish as quickly as it came. He went around my bed till he came into sight. He stretched out his hand for me to take but I hesitate. Did I really want to know?

 

" I'll go with you just in case." He said as I take his offered hand. He helps me off the bed and holds my hand, helping me through the darkness. His grip grew stronger as he snapped me to him. " Last chance to go back." He said as I realize were almost outside the room. I'm scared to say the least but not as I was when I wanted to go alone. Somehow, having Inuyasha near was making this a whole lot easier.

 

" I want to know." I'm finally out of the room but it seems I lost my breath. There in the corridor was an elderly woman clutching the walls. Her breathing heavy as she made her way back and forth. Her face growing red as she tried hard to catch her breath through her sobs. Another scream made me realize that it was her that was causing the racket.

 

" Mrs. Keade..." A doctor said coming to calm her down a bit.

 

" No, don't try and comfort me. I lost the only thing precise to me. My sweet company, my Myoga." She said as she placed her hand to her heart. " Although I loved you dearly I couldn't make you stay!" She yelled pounding the wall as she did so. " God put his arms around you and whispered 'come to me' and you went. I know your there with him." I couldn't keep my eyes off her. I should have listened to Yash. Another was lost to this damn sickness. When would all the pain and suffering it caused stop? I could feel my body shaking, my legs growing weak but when I felt them give way, Inuyasha lifted me.

 

" Lets go back into the room." He said but I couldn't answer. I nodded my agreement and he took me away. He sat me on his lap, on the bed the hospital gave to him and held me close. I couldn't believe what was happening, even though my heart was telling me it was real. I don't know Inuyasha very well yet here he is trying to sooth me worries, help me through the pain.

 

" Thank you." I said to him trying hard not to take more of his warmth but I guess he realized what I wanted to do. He pulled me closer to him, his head resting on mine, and said something I'm glad he did.

 

" I'll be here for you, don't bother thanking me again." It seemed I have been sitting there for so long before I felt my eyes grow heavy. I yawn and before I realize it, I'm laying on his bed, his arms around me. Before I close my eyes for the night, I feel his lips on mine before hearing his soft breathing.
