Naraku Rewrites the Stars

Ch. 34 Worrying Mama

Previously, Kagome ran into Yuki. 

ooo

As Kagome's mind regained consciousness she wondered, Who is Yuki?

Her eyelids felt heavy, but through perseverance, she opened them. At first, her vision was blurry and she could not comprehend what she was looking at. Though, as seconds passed on and she kept blinking, her vision ceased to blur. The moment her eyes recovered their sight, she understood why all she was seeing were white blurs. She was laying down, on some sort of bed, and by the distinct smell of chemicals and disinfectant accompanied by the white ceiling, she was in the hospital.

Or at least I think, I'm in the hospital, she silently spoke to herself.

Kagome started moving her head, trying her best to look around and assure herself she was where she thought she was. However, she did not need to, as she turned her head left, she saw her mother sitting on a chair by her bedside, holding her hand. A soft smile graced her lips as she realized her mother must have stayed by her side for however long she was in the hospital. Quietly, as to not wake her mother, she tried to sit up from the bed, but when she attempted to move her chest was meant with sharp pains, which earned a whimper from her.

Mrs. Higurashi, hearing a whimper, began awaking from her slumber. When she woke up she was both relieved and troubled by the sight of her daughter trying to sit up. Gently, she helped Kagome lay back down.

After making sure, her daughter was comfortable in bed, she sighed in contentment.

"Kagome, you gave me a scare, fainting like that," she explained to Kagome.

Kagome asked, "How long have I been out?"

"A couple of hours," Mrs. Higurashi answered as she affectionately brushed her fingers along her daughter's cheek.

Kagome looked up to her mother, "Sorry, Mama for scaring you. I don't know what happened. Right after coming home, from the federal era, I started waking to the house and out of now where my heart started hurting. And then I fainted, I guess."

Kagome's mother nodded her head, taking in what her daughter was telling her.

"It's alright, Kagome. The doctor said you fainted due to lack of sleep and with sufficient rest and nutrient you'll be back to, tip-top, shape," Mrs. Higurashi remarked, trying to soften the frown gracing her daughter's lips.

"Lack of sleep?" Kagome repeated back to her mother.

"Yeah, that's what she said," her mother reassured.

Kagome began remembering all those nights Inuyasha he kept her and the gang from sleeping because he wanted to gather as many Sacred Jewel shards as possible. But before she could begin cursing him for being the cause of her fainting, her heart tightened at the thought of him.

Inuyasha, what am I gonna do with you? Kagome wondered to herself.

"Kagome what's wrong? Does it hurt anywhere?" Kagome heard her mother asking, snapping her out of her lovesickness.

"No. It's okay. I just realized how uncomfortable this pillow is," Kagome joked to her mother, not wanting her to worry.

Mrs. Higurashi knew something was bothering Kagome and it was not the pillow, but if her daughter wanted to tell her, she would have told her what was truly wrong when she asked. Kagome not telling her means she does not want to.

She mentally sighed, she will let Kagome off the hook for now, but if that expression she only gets when she is heartbroken from Inuyasha appears on her face again, she will ask her again, if anything is wrong.

"I'll go ask the nurse if I can get you another pillow," Mrs. Higurashi replied.

Kagome nodded her head, "Thank you, Mama."

Before her mother got off the chair and began walking to find a nurse, she squeezed Kagome's hand and empathized, "Don't try to sit up again. Just lay down and wait for me."

Kagome responded, "I won't. I promise."
