Chapter 12

Hey guys sorry again for the late update. I have a ton of projects for school and I just had a cheer competition. We came in third. I'm kinda bummed we didn't win, but you can't win 'em all. I have a snow day today so I'm gonna write a chapter. And I wanted to respond to a review I received from Kara Higurashi: I'm really sorry for all the spelling mistakes. I type these on my phone because I don't have a computer and the keys are really small. And the physical therapist is supposed to be Ana not Kana. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for reading. You're amazing, stay fabulous, and sparkle on. On to the chapter!

I still can't sleep. Dad and Shiori have been gone for almost an hour. I keep fidgeting because I can't get comfortable. My arms are throbbing and my leg and ankle is aching. The bathroom trip last night might've not been the best idea.

I'm about to press the nurse call button, but dad, Dr. Shoji, and Shiori come in. Dr. Shoji is smiling, but dad isn't. I smile up at them hoping to make it better. Shiori returns the smile but then looks back at the ground.

"Inuyasha," dad speaks up and I lower my head, "I'm disappointed in you. You've been told multiple times not to use the crutches. You've only been out of the bed once! Now, you've hurt yourself more. Do you understand why you can't use the crutches now?" My ears flatten and I nod, "Yes, sir." He smiles and puts his hand on my shoulder. I wince and he pulls back immediately. "What hurts?" He asks frantically and looks to Dr. Shoji. "My arms are throbbing and my ankle is aching and so is my leg," I whine.

Dr. Shoji rushes over and looks at my arms. "You're arms are swollen. I'm going to feel around your arms, so this might hurt," he states. He grabs my arms gently then starts pressing and feeling around my arm. It hurts like hell, and I wince after every push. He finally stops, and he isn't smiling. "There's fluid trapped in your arms causing the swelling. The muscles need to be fixed to stop the fluid from flowing. This is going to need surgery," he states and looks sadly at me, "I want to get a MRI and you said your ankle and leg are aching?" I nod. "We are going to take a few X-rays," he replies.

After all my scans, I'm put back in my bed. Kagome is waiting in my room, and she's been crying. I lay in my bed and she kisses me. When we pull apart she's looking into just eyes, "I was so scared. I thought you were back in a coma. Please, never do that again. I told you don't do anything stupid. Please don't hurt yourself again." She's crying again. "I'm sorry. I promise I won't hurt myself again. I promise. I love you, and I hate when you cry. It's even worse when you're crying because of me," I reply as I rub her back. She looks up at me and smiles, "I love you, Inuyasha. You really scared me, but I'm happy you're ok. How about I go get us some popcorn, and we have a movie date? I miss spending time with my boyfriend." I smile at her and nod.

Kagome comes back about half a hour later with a huge bucket of popcorn from the cafeteria and a few sappy romance movies. "Are all the movies chick flicks?" I groan. She pulls out a copy of 2 Fast 2 Furious, and I smile at her. "You're the best girlfriend ever!" I exclaim with a smile. We spend the rest of the night watching movies, eating popcorn, and cuddling.

I have arm surgery two days after Kagome and my movie date. It hurts to move my arms. My arms are in slings so I don't "damage them from careless movement" as Dr. Shoji said. I have ice packs in the slings helping to keep the swelling down.

I'm so exhausted. Dr. Shoji says too many visitors make you tired. I don't understand how though. I just sit here and talk. Eother way he's kicked everyone out, and he's making me rest. It's too bad I can't get comfortable enough to sleep.

A weeks passed since my surgery, and I feel better. I don't have slings on my arms anymore, but I have to constantly ice my arms.

I'm not allowed to do anything. I can't leave my bed. I can't eat anything unless it's from the cafeteria. I can't even use the bathroom without two escorts. It's starting to annoy the crap out of me. I'm not some porcelain doll that's going to shatter if I fall. I'm going insane.

Another week passes and my stitches heal. My arms feel a million times better.

Ana came in yesterday to start scheduling appointments. Her and my dad really hit it off. They talked more then Ana looked at me. She is really nice though, and I like her.

Dr. Shoji comes in my room as Shiori is doodling on my cast. "How are you feeling today, Inuyasha?" He asks cheerily. "Good. My arms feel a lot better. I bet I could do a hundred push ups!" I reply with a grin. "Good luck with that cast on your leg. I want to get another xray to check on your bones' healing. And I need to check your arms again," he states as he walks toward me. He takes my arms and starts his procedure. It barely hurts as he presses on my arms. "You're arms aren't swollen and the fluid is almost completely gone. I'm going to ask Ana to come do some exercise with you after the X-ray," he states happily. I nod and grin at him.

"Can Shay come home soon?" Asks Shiori as she stops doodling. "I believe that he'll be home quite soon. A month tops," he replies and smiles. "No later than a month. You pinky promise?" She asks holding out her pinky. "I can't promise you that. It depends on if your big bro stays in his bed, rests, and does what we tell him," he replies staring at me. I laugh sheepishly and shrug. "Shay, you pinky promise to do what they say, and you, Doc., pinky promise to fix him no later than a month," she declares holding out two pinkies. We all shake pinkies a and smile.

It's kinda short, but a chapter's a chapter. Keep on reading & reviewing. Love you guys! You're the best!
