'sanitarium'
chapter one: a death, an awakening, and an unanswered question.
A sharp intake of breath.
A scream.
Kagome could taste a fowl mixture of dirt and her own blood, a huge youkai had just struck her in the stomach, knocking her flat, she fumbled with her bow, aiming to kill the beast with her last dying breath, she released the arrow, a flash of light snapped the demon in half, she fell to her back, she could feel her breath becoming slower, a siloutted figure stood above her, inu-yasha.
"Kagome..."
Kagome could now feel the cold press of death against her chest, she closed her eyes.
"Kagome..."
The inside of Kagome's eyelids were painted psycedelic colors, she could see a million starbursts in her eyes 'so, this is what it's like to die' she thought, she could no longer feel the grass under her body, she felt as if she were falling through to the center of the earth a mile a second, her body slowed and she felt something completely different underneath her.
Concrete.
She opened her eyes and looked around, she was in a concrete room with a solitary, uncovered lightbulb in the center and a large wooden door with a huge iron lock and bars, like a jail. on the wall opposite her there was a rusted steel sign marked 'DANGER', a razor blade, and carvings in the wall.
She no longer felt any pain, 'am I in heaven?', she sighed, 'god needs to do some cleanup'.
The door creaked open, a man in white came in, he was wearing a surgical mask and was carrying a clipboard, he flipped through it.
"ah, here you are, Mrs. Hiragashi, K. are you feeling better today?"
Kagome shrugged.
"I died yesterday, I think things are looking up"
"hmm... died..."
He jotted something down on his clipboard and looked up.
"come with me, Mrs. Hiragashi"
Kagome hesitated.
"wait, where am I?"
"why, Mrs. Hiragashi, you're in the Takenawa Mental Asylum, you've been here for the last five years."
Kagome laughed nervously.
"what do you mean? I've never been here!"
He jotted something else down
"hmm... delusions... hallucinations... where do you think you've been, Mrs. Hiragashi?"
"I've been in school, I've been at home, I've been in-"
She stopped just short of saying 'feudal Japan' and stood silent
"in where, Mrs. Hiragashi?"
"in... feudal Japan... with Inu-yasha..."
"and who exactly is Inu-yasha, Mrs. Hiragashi?"
Kagome paused
"He's... well, he's a half-demon"
He jotted something else down.
"yes... yes... demons... yes... what does this 'Inu-yasha' look like, Mrs. Hiragashi?"
"well, he has dog ears, and Miroku has an air void, and Sango has a huge boomerang, and Shippou has a tail"
He scribbled more.
"lives... in... dream... world..."
He pointed out the door.
"please, follow me, the judge want's to see you"
"the jud-"
"don't ask questions, simply follow."
