“Mom?” Kagome said, weakly, as she opened her eyes.
“Kagome?” Mrs. Higurashi jumped up from the chair she had been sitting in, running to her daughter’s side.
“Where am I?” Kagome asked as she looked around slowly, taking in her surroundings.
“You’re in the hospital,” Mrs. Higurashi replied, pressing a button to call a nurse.
“Hospital?”
“You’ve been shot.”
“Shot?” Kagome replied, confused, and then added in a slightly panicked tone when she tried to move into a more comfortable position, “Why can’t I feel my legs?”
“Because….” Mrs. Higurashi was interrupted by a nurse rushing into the room.
“You’re awake,” the nurse said with a smile. “Let me check your vitals, and then I’ll call the doctor.”
“Why can’t I move my legs?” Kagome asked her as the nurse checked the machines Kagome was hooked up to.
“You have a bullet pressing on your spinal cord.”
“Why didn’t they remove it? Are they going to?”
“They’re going to remove it. You were in really bad shape when you came in, and the doctor wanted you to be more stable before he attempted to remove it.”
“Will I be able to walk?”
“The prognosis is good, but the doctor would be best to ask about that,” the nurse tried to reassure Kagome. “Everything looks good here. The doctor will be in shortly to check you and answer anymore question you may have,” the nurse added before leaving.
A man with white hair flashed through Kagome’s mind as she vaguely remembered that someone was there when she was shot. “Did Inuyasha find me?” Kagome asked her mother.
“No, it was…”
“It wasn’t Inuyasha?” Kagome interrupted, sadly.

“Here are the reports you wanted,” Inuyasha said, barging into Sesshomaru’s office just as Sesshomaru’s secretary buzzed him to let him know his brother was there.
“Can’t you knock or wait to be invited in?” Sesshomaru asked as his cell phone rang. He recognized the number and sent it to voice mail.
“You’re not going to answer that?” Inuyasha questioned, changing the subject and trying to avoid a fight.
“No.”
“Who was it?”
“It’s none of your concern.”
“Why do you have to be such a jerk?”
“Keep up the rude attitude, and I’ll fire you.”
“I work my ass off for you…”
“And you can be replaced,” Sesshomaru interrupted Inuyasha. “Did you go see her?”
Sesshomaru knew the answer when he saw Inuyasha fidget.
