Title: Cinderella

Description: Kagome finds out that she only has a few days to live, spending time with her family and friends are a must of course, but what happens when she spends her last moments with Inuyasha?

A/N: I know it may seem like this is another fairy tale story, but you're wrong, I named it that because of the song 'One Headlight' by the Wallflowers and I was like oh my goodness, this is perfect, it just hit me, well hope you like it.

If you've never heard the song at least look up the lyrics before you read the story, since that's where I got my inspiration, you don't have to, just a kind of request, anyway, on with the story.

Chapter 1: That Day

Inuyasha stared without blinking at her motionless form; the only sound he heard was the beeping of the heart monitor. This thing called a hospital was weird to him and extraordinary; he was first amazed at how far humans had come in medicine. But now as he sat there, not even blinking he only cared about one thing, her waking up and seeing her beautiful brown eyes. This couldn't be happening, it was only yesterday he was talking to her and they all were walking along another road and she was smiling that wonderful smile he loved. He lowered his head not only consumed with remembering the events leading up to this outcome, but if he stared at her any longer he would lose it. He flashed back to what had happened, the images still so fresh in his scattered mind….

"Look Inuyasha, that cloud, it looks like puppy, what do you think," Kagome asked sitting next to Inuyasha in an old oak tree. Inuyasha looked up at the sky where she pointed and snorted, he hated this game or whatever you called it.

Kagome looked over at him and decided to drop the game, she didn't mind, she was happy just being there with him.

She wrapped her arm around his and put her head on his shoulder, smiling.

He looked down at her with blushing cheeks then formed his surprised look into a small smile. He loved when she did that it made him feel so warm inside and the worries he had bottled inside leaked out in tranquility.

Thinking of this he laid his head gently on top of hers, he could stay that way forever and he wished he could have.

Inuyasha came back to the present, but as he looked back at Kagome's sleeping form, he could remember what everything felt like, what everything sounded like when it happened. Not only because his senses were higher than humans, but it was also a painful and serious time, full of hustling around.

He saw in his mind her smiling back at him from the front of the group, pushing her bike along side her. He flashed forward to her falling to the ground and all of them rushing to her. More flashes, then…

"Inuyasha," he could here Sango's voice in his head, "you must take here to this hospital place in her own time, they will be able to help her more than we can, hurry,"

He remembered that he hesitated with fear, wondering what could be wrong with her and if she would be ok. Maybe if he hadn't had frozen before scooping her up in his arms and hurrying her to the well, she would be ok right now. The truth was he didn't know what was wrong with her and it was tearing away at him furiously.

Her family wasn't doing any better than he was, they were waiting out in the waiting room to hear news from the doctor, but Inuyasha refused to leave her side and promised he would stay there until she woke.

The others in the feudal era still hadn't received any news, they were probably worried sick, but Inuyasha made a promise and until he heard something and made sure she was awake, he would stay there right by her bed, waiting for those eyes that made his heart melt stared up into his.

No longer had he thought this than her eyes had slowly started to open and he heard her moaning softly.

Inuyasha moved forward closer, right by Kagome's bedside, "K..Kagome," he stuttered her name, grasping her hand in his absentmindedly.

"Inu..yasha," she replied weakly squinting up at his face, trying to adjust to the light in the room.

"Where am I, what," she tried talking then moaned again.

Inuyasha squeezed her hand a little, again unaware of his actions, "It's ok, you're in the hospital, you collapsed when we were walking back in the feudal era and I brought you here, they still haven't told us anything yet, though, but I'll be right here," he explained smiling down at her comfortingly.

Kagome looked around the room, still dazed, and then brought her eyes back to Inuyasha and stared at him.

Inuyasha gulped as she looked up at him, her eyes warming his soul again. Well you could say that Kagome kind of saved his soul. He once thought about becoming a full fledged demon with the shikon jewel, but with her love and kindness, she proved that he was already special and great just as he was and that is what changed his mind, that is what saved him.

Kagome began to cry, she was terrified, what if something really was wrong with her? What if she never got to see Inuyasha's deep golden eyes ever again?

Then Inuyasha did something he never did before, he brushed her tears away as if it was the most natural thing he could do at that moment.

Kagome closed her eyes, just absorbing his touch.
