A young woman with long raven hair and deep mahogany eyes made her way to the hospital. She had just received a phone call saying that her husband had been in an accident. She felt uneasy as she opened the doors and made her way to a nurse.
"Excuse me nurse?" she asked.
"Yes miss can I help you?"
"I'm here to see my husband."
"What's his name?"
"His name is Inuyasha Tanaka."
The nurse paused immediately a look of sorrow on her face. "He was just rushed into surgery."
"What? Please I must know what happened."
"Sorry miss you'll have to speak to the doctors."
Kikyou walked around asking as much people as she possibly could. She hoped that someone would be able to give her some answers. But no one was willing to give her any answers this only made her worry more. She started to pace nervously until a doctor came over to her.
"Mrs. Tanaka?" he questioned.
"Yes?"
"Your husband has been in a car accident. He's in surgery as we speak."
"How badly was he hurt?"
"His lungs were punctured, there was some head trauma. He definitely won't be racing for awhile."
"Doctor Can you let me know when I can see him."
"Of course I will Mrs. Tanaka."
He left her there and she called her younger sister Keade and also Inuyasha's older brother Sesshomaru. They both told her to wait there because they would meet her as soon as possible. Kikyou was worried about him. A part of her wanted to scold him for not listening to her. She had told him how worried she was about him racing again. It didn't matter he had went anyway.
(Flashback)
Earlier that morning Inuyasha was getting into his racing uniform. While Kikyou was busy down stairs making breakfast. "Inuyasha come down here breakfast is ready."
He didn't have to be told twice he ran down stairs and plopped down into a seat.
"So do you have any plans for today?" She asked him.
"Yeah I gotta go to work."
Kikyou stared at his gloves. She knew that he was obviously planning to race today. "Inuyasha you said that you wouldn't."
"Sorry Kik I gotta go there's a lot of money in it if I win."
"But what if something happens to you."
He walked over to her capturing her in a tight hug. "Don't worry about me I'll be fine."
"I'm going to worry about you anyway you know. But I know that I can't stop you because you're so stubborn."
"I love you."
"Yes and I love you." And that was the last thing that the couple had said to each other.
(End of Flashback)
"What if something happens to him?" She thought to herself.
She placed her hands over her face so that she could wipe the tears away. She soon felt a strong hand touch her shoulder. She opened her eyes to see Sesshomaru standing there. "Sesshomaru?" She questioned.
"How are you doing?"
"I'll be fine." She told him.
"Did the doctors tell you anything?"
"Only that he was in a car accident."
He placed an arm around her and she cried into his shoulders. "Sesshomaru what will I do if he……"
"Inuyasha will not die because he is much too stubborn."
"Yes I know that but…"
"Don't focus on the negative I'm sure that he wouldn't want you to worry." As he said this he stood up and reached for Kikyou's hand. "Why don't we go and get some coffee?"
"Okay."
On their way out they ran into Kikyou's younger sister Keade. After a long walk and two extra cups of coffee they all headed back to the hospital. A nurse was soon making her way over to Kikyou.
"Mrs. Tanaka we are going to need you to fill out these forms."
"Yes of course. Has there been any news from the doctor?"
"You'll have to wait for the doctors."
"Why can't I get any answers around here? I just want to know what's going on with my husband."
"I'm sorry but you'll have to see the doctors."
Kikyou then threw the forms on the ground. She was more than upset by now. She reached over and grabbed the nurse by the hand. "You don't understand he's my husband."
"I'm sorry." The nurse spoke as she walked away again. Kikyou slowly sunk to the ground crying tears of frustration. How could they deny her the right to find out what was happening with her husband. Keade came over to her sister and gave her a hug.
"Kik it will be okay."
"Keade he's my husband and they aren't telling me anything."
"Come on let me help you up."
Kikyou stopped crying and decided to pull herself together. Not only for Inuyasha's sake but for her sake as well. She could not afford to fall apart like this. Soon a doctor was making his way over to her.
"Mrs. Tanaka?"
"Yes doctor?"
"Your husband is out of surgery now. We've managed to stop the bleeding but I'm afraid that he has suffered some brain damage."
"What does all that mean doc?" Keade questioned.
"It's a possibility that Mr. Tanaka could lose some of his memory."
Kikyou shuddered at the thought. They had been through so much together. The thought of him forgetting their love made her feel worse. "Doctor Can I see him now?"
"Yes but he's resting so don't stay too long."
"Thank you." Kikyou nodded. She made her way threw the door and saw her husband lying there hooked up to many different machines. His body was badly bruised. His silver hair clinging to his damp face. She had never seen him like this before.
"Inuyasha I wish that you would have listened to me." She whispered.
She pulled up a seat next to him then reached for his hand. "I love you so much Inu we will get threw this. I promise that when you're better we'll even take that 2nd honeymoon that we talked about. I'll even eat some of that ramen that you love so much." She laughed a little as she thought about Inuyasha with his precious ramen.
(Flashback)
Inuyasha and Kikyou were busy unpacking all of their groceries. Inuyasha started rummaging through the bags as he was now looking for something. "What's wrong Inu?"
"I can't find that damn ramen."
"Maybe it's in the cabinet did you look?"
He looked in the cabinet and started throwing things out of it. Kikyou tried to dodge the flying cans as she made her way over to him. "Where is it Kik did we pack it?" he asked.
"Of course we did I know how much you love eating it."
"I know those jerks at the store probably forgot to pack it. Come on we're going back."
"Inu please calm down there is a probably a reasonable explanation for all of this."
"Well when you find it let me know."
They stared at each other for a moment and then Kikyou started laughing. "What's so funny?"
"You are. You should see how you are acting right now. You're acting like a mad caveman who's about to go on a rampage."
"Oh yeah I'll show you a caveman." He picked her up swinging her around placing her on the counter. He captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Soon she turned away a slight blush on her face.
"I love you." He whispered.
(End of flashback)
"You had us go all the way back to the store. And you're ramen was in the sink the whole time."
She gently laid her head on the bed then closed her eyes. A few moments later she felt a strong hand clutch hers. She looked up to see that Inuyasha was opening his eyes.
"Inu." She whispered.
He focused his eyes on to the beautiful raven haired woman. "How are you?" she asked him. She soon regretted what she asked. Of course he had to be feeling lousy he had just been in an accident.
"Who are you?" he asked.
