The Recovery

This fic is in the amazing response from the story "The Accident." "the Recovery" is the sequel! Please review!

Chapter 1:

Kagome and InuYasha were sitting in her hospital bedroom. It had been a little over a week since her accident and things were going smoothly. She still got harsh headaches from her head injury that would be so bad that she'd almost cry, and her stomach and head still had bandages on them. Other than that, this were going smoothly. InuYasha still never left her and they would talk, or she would sleep, or she would read to him. When her mother had ran back to the shrine to get some of Kagome's things, she grabbed some books from a random shelf. InuYasha's favorite was Beauty and the Beast, obviously, because it gave him a feeling of hope.

InuYasha still hadn't confessed to Kagome. About six days ago he had tried, be decided he should wait. I don't want to stress her out… Maybe after she's healed…

InuYasha sat as Kagome studied. He didn't like it but he liked the way her brow furrowed and her lips puckered. He'd grin and she would get mad because she thought he found it amusing that she couldn't figure out an equation.

At that moment, the doctor came in and InuYasha's eyes locked on him. The doctor shuddered. The doctor and InuYasha weren't exactly each other's biggest fans. InuYasha had tackled him, threatened him, growled at him countless times during Kagome's stay in the hospital. InuYasha started committing these acts of violence since Kagome's first injection while she was conscious. InuYasha threw a fit over how the doctor had hurt her when he should have been making her feel better. No matter how many times Kagome explained why she had to have a shot, InuYasha still would attempt to kill or maim the person with the needle. He had received quite a few sits.

Trying to avoid InuYasha, the doctor walked to the other side of Kagome's bed when the hanyou stood. Kagome glanced at InuYasha with a warning look then looked at the doctor. He spoke, "Well, Kagome. It seems as though your healing has been progressing at quite a good rate and I think you will be able to goo home tomorrow."

A smile lit up Kagome's face. "Really?"

"Yes. Of course there are things you should watch out for, and things you should avoid."

InuYasha came at full attention at that moment. "Like what?"

"Well, she can go to school, but if she's too tired then she should stay home. Also, I will write a letter for Kagome to give to each of her teachers saying tht they should allow her to be excused at any time until further notice. She should stay stress free for the most part. In case you get another head ache then I'll go ahead and give some medication, for it. The problem is that it can take up to about a half an hour or more to kick in." The doctor looked at Kagome with apologetic eyes when she wined. "Then in about a week, come back and we'll see if you can have your gauze removed."

"Okay," said Kagome, "So I can leave tomorrow?"

"If you are well over the night, then yes. Don't worry about explaining it to your family. I already did. Your mother has your medications and they just left to go fix you bedding to make you comfortable."

Kagome felt a feeling of gratitude as the doctor said the last part.

The doctor continued. "So, that's all for now." He looked at InuYasha. "Young man, visiting hours are coming to an end, so I suggest that you leave now. You can see Kagome home in the morning."

"Fe. Fine. I'll see you later, Kagome!" He literally meant that he would see her later, when he would climb three stories to sit with her all night.
