Just what I need

-+-+-+-+-+-+

Kagome sighed as she stared at the floor, the unchanging floor. She felt so helpless, just sitting there while her friends and family were fighting for their lives. She got out unscathed, that wasn't right. If one of them died, and she got out without a scratch, what was that saying?

"Miss?"

Kagome shot her head up and stared into an innocent nurse's green eyes. "Are they ok?" Kagome held her breath while she awaited the answer.

"Your friends are still in critical condition. Your brother has become better after the surgery. But…"

Kagome's heart skipped a beat. But? 'But' is never good thing, especially when you're sitting in the hospital.

"Your parents didn't make it."

Kagome gasped and she instantly felt tears sting her eyes. Her parents are dead?

"Is there anyone I can call for your?" The nurse asked, rubbing a hand down Kagome's back. But Kagome didn't answer, too shocked to hear anything.

She'd never pick up a pencil again. That's what got her in the mess in the first place. She had been chosen to go to the national art show. Kagome had been delighted. She had told her friends and her boyfriend right away, and they were all on their way to the gallery, packed into the back of her parent's mini-van.

Her brother Sota, her best friend Sango, and Sango's boyfriend Miroku, were all sitting in the middle three seats. Kagome and her boyfriends, Inuyasha, were sitting in the back two seats.

That's when a Semi-Truck carrying a tuck full of coal came and hit the mini-van head on. The only reason Kagome got out, unharmed, was because Inuyasha protected her at the last moment. Her wrapped his arms around her and shielded her with his body. He was always protecting her, him being half dog demon it was in his nature.

But now…he couldn't have die. If he died then he died protecting her, and she couldn't be able to handle that. The love of her life was dead because he protected her.

"When?" Kagome asked, her voice unrecognizable to her own ears.

"Pardon?" the nurse asked, looking down at the poor girl.

"When did they…you know."

The nurse sighed. "On impact."

This poor girl. The accident had been reported right away, but by the time the ambulances got there the girls' parents were dead.

Her brother was pretty beaten up. The impact of the blow threw him out the side window. He was on the road, scraped and bruised. He broke his arm, wrist, leg, and he has a concussion. But after the surgery he had to have he was doing better.

Miroku was doing badly. He hit his head on a rock as he was thrown from the car as well, and he had suffered a lot of internal bleeding. He broke his ribs, jaw, and his leg. The doctors didn't think he'd make it for a while but he was doing better. He wasn't out of the woods yet, but he was doing better.

Sango was stuck in the car. When the firemen were finally able to get to her she had a huge gash in the side of her head and her pulse was almost nonexistent, not to mention she was burnt pretty badly. She was rushed into surgery and almost died, would have if they were a moment later. She was doing better, but she still had a long way to go before she woke up.

And Inuyasha…he was doing…he was alive. When he was found he was thrown at least 15ft. from the car and Kagome wrapped up in his arms. Both were unconscious but Kagome only had a few cuts and scratches on her face and her arms and legs. Inuyasha wasn't so lucky. He broke his rib, he was bleeding internally, and he hit his head pretty hard on a rock, not to mention he lost a lot of blood. The doctors had very little hope for him. If he was a half demon he would have been dead on the spot. But as it was he was alive, just barely. The surgery did very little, but his body had healed itself a bit. The chances that he would make it were slim to none, but if his body kept healing itself at a study rate then he had a fighting chance.

But the nurse couldn't tell Kagome this. The girl looked as if she was already about to die. Kagome was out for 2 hours. The doctors had ran multiple tests and she was fine. The tears ran down Kagome's face as she thought about how she'd never see her parents again.

The nurse bent down so she was at the same height as Kagome and rubbed her shoulder. "Is there anyone I can call?"

Kagome looked up into the kind face of the nurse. She took in a deep breath and started to wipe away her tears. "Sesshomaru? Inuyasha's older brother."

The nurse looked back down and said, "We called. He should be here any minute."

Kagome nodded her head and wiped away her remaining tears. Sango and Miroku both lived with Sesshomaru, their parents' having died. Sango moved in with Sesshomaru when she was 11, her parents having died of an air plane crash. Miroku moved in when he was 13, his parents hving been killed by a drunk man with a gun. But Sesshomaru was wealthy so it wasn't hard to pay for everything.

Kaome sighed, again. She had to be strong.

"Do you need anything?" the nurse asked, standing back up.

"No. No thank you." Kagome said, doing her best to send the nurse a smile. But she couldn't smile…not now…not ever. How could she smile? After what happened, she couldn't imagine ever smiling again, in her life.

Happily ever after, that's how they want you to think it will be, but it's not, not at all in reality. The deaths, the tears, the fears, the falls. Through it all we still go on. The broken hearts, the cheating friends, so much pain that never ends. The fake smiles that seem to make everything ok. But no, not for you, because you know the pain won't go away. Bright and cheery, but oh so weary, because inside your heart is breaking in two.
