Using Love by Chrysolite Heart
Chapter 4
Naraku drove with his knuckles gripping the steering wheel tightly as he maneuvered
his car down the speedy highway. It was too bad that Kikyou lived so far out; he
never liked driving on the highways. He was still in deep thought and not paying
much attention to the road, a truly silly thing to do when one isn’t experienced on
the highway, and didn’t notice a group of cars huddled in front of him and a few
police men waving at him frantically and then running out of the way. Suddenly
there was a flash in front of him and all went black.
Kagura sighed in annoyance when Naraku wouldn’t pick up his phone.
“What in the world is that bastard doing?” Kagura muttered out loud impatiently. A
deep chuckle came from beside her.
“What’s wrong, dear? Naraku won’t pick up the phone?” Onigumo asked with a
seductive smile. Kagura turned to her lover with a smile.
“I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about. Although, I have to admit he usually picks
up on the first ring,” Kagura noted with hesitance. Onigumo shrugged.
“I’m sure he’s fine. Knowing him, he’ll get back to you soon,” Onigumo said. Kagura
nodded, still not quite positive.
“I’m sure you’re right,” she agreed, she positioned herself so that she was sitting
beside him again.
“Anyhow, so how’s our little plan going?” Onigumo questioned. Kagura shrugged
casually.
“Fine it seems, Naraku’s falling for me and Kikyou’s falling for Naraku, they’re
engaged now,” Kagura informed in. Onigumo nodded, pleased.
“Good, good, now we just have to wait for my stupid brother Naraku to finish up
with this Kikyou, then we’ll take care of him and all the wealth in the world will
be ours,” Onigumo said with a grin. Kagura smiled back at him and leaned over to
kiss him.
“I do feel a bit guilty though,” she admitted honestly.
“Don’t,” Onigumo replied and kissed her back.
Kikyou could feel her heart thumping in her ears as she rushed through the wide
glass doors of the hospital. Her mind was taught with worry. She rushed up to the
front desk where a young woman gazed up at her, startled.
“Yes, how can I help you?” the woman asked politely, taking in Kikyou’s messy hair,
disordered clothes and out-of-breath state.
“I’m…looking…for…Naraku Yamasaki,” Kikyou panted desperately. The woman blinked
before answering.
“Oh, yes. He was just rushed into the emergency room,” the lady told her. Kikyou’s
eyes widened.
“Will he be alright?” Kikyou demanded. Her face was stressed as she waited for the
young woman to reply.
“I can’t say for sure, it looked pretty bad though,” the woman answered honestly.
“But of course, I’m sure it’ll be fine,” she added quickly when she saw Kikyou
grimace. Kikyou nodded, praying everything would be alright.
“How long as he been in?” Kikyou continued to question. The slender, young woman
glanced at her watch.
“Around an hour now,” she answered truthfully. Kikyou nodded again, she couldn’t
seem to feel anything from her head to her toes.
“Can you tell me what happened?” Kikyou asked after she had regained her breath.
“Nazuna?” she added as she finally noticed the golden name tag on the young woman’s
uniform. Nazuna smiled weakly before replying.
“Well, we hear he was out on the highway and wasn’t watching where he was going.
There had been an accident earlier on the same road with 3 cars but he didn’t see
and ended up crashing into them,” Nazuna told Kikyou with a wince. Large accidents
like these weren’t common in such a small town.
“I see, well I think I’ll go wait in the waiting room,” Kikyou decided after a
pause to digest the new information. Nazuna nodded sympathetically.
“You don’t look so good, do you want me to get you a drink or something?” Nazuna
inquired as Kikyou started to walk away. Kikyou paused to think and then shook her
head. She turned to Nazuna with as bright a smile as she could.
“No, I’m fine. I don’t want to bother you,” Kikyou told her. Nazuna looked down at
the ground.
“It’s no bother really, but if you’re sure…” Nazuna replied doubtfully.
“I am,” Kikyou responded sincerely.
“Ok, well if you do need anything, please come ask me. I’d love to help out,”
Nazuna called after her, as Kikyou turned towards the waiting room.
“I will, thank-you,” Kikyou thanked over her shoulder. Nazuna watched with pity as
the long raven-haired girl stepped through a set of automatic doors into the
waiting room. With a sigh she sat back down at her desk and began to go through
some papers. Thunder threatened outside.
