AN: Man it's been like a whole month since I've updated this fic. Well I have been rather busy ==

So let's get started then shall we?

CHAPTER Eleven: Awakenings and Realizations

Sesshomaru's POV

"Paging Dr. Kuromori," the crackling voice of the intercom said.

I looked up from the clipboard I had been studying, another patient for me to look at of course. I set the clipboard down and walked to the front desk.

"What is it," I asked. The nurse behind the desk jumped; as usual I sometimes forgot to let humans sense me coming, so I usually ended up startling them.

The nurse chuckled uneasily, "Oh sorry Dr. Kuromori I didn't notice you." She then frowned and handed me a manila folder, "We just received a coma patient. She was found unconscious on the floor of the café that she works at. Her parents are on their way but she's regaining conscious early and we need more information on her and on what happened," she explained.

I took the report and headed for the room she was in, 372 A. I tapped lightly on the door and when no reply came I pushed it open, "Tori Sohma?"

The girl in the bed stirred slightly, she seemed to be having a bad dream. I stepped closer and noticed a strange aura surrounding her and it was somehow familiar. I reached out and touched her shoulder, "Miss Sohma."

The girl bolted up in bed, "Where's is he," she shouted.

I stepped back, "Calm down Miss Sohma. Who is he?"

The girl took a few deep breaths and looked to me, she gasped again, "Lord Sesshomaru," she asked.

I blinked, how did this girl know who I was, I decided to deny it, "Excuse me?"

She studied my face then put a hand to her head, "I must be loosing my mind. I just thought I recognized you…from somewhere…what happened," she asked in a small voice.

I pulled a chair over; this was defiantly a case I was going to want to look into, "That's what I was hoping to ask you. I'm Dr. Kuromori," I said as I sat down. "You were found collapsed on the floor of your café, do you know why," I asked.

Tori rubbed the temples of her forehead as if trying to remember, "There…there was this boy. He came in, said he was looking for…Kagura. I told him I didn't know what he was talking about and then he grabbed me and suddenly all my energy was gone," she said with difficulty. She looked straight at me, "I know it sounds crazy but I swear that's what happened!"

I nodded, "I believe you I said." I did too, there was no hint of a lie in her actions or voice, someone had taken her energy, 'But why was the boy looking for Kagura…Kagura died,' I studied the girl for a minute, 'Unless…unless she was reincarnated…Naraku did have her heart after all so it is a possibility,' he thought.

He stood up, "Will you excuse me for a minute Miss Sohma," I asked.

She frowned and went to stand up, "If it's alright with you I feel fine and I'm ready to go," she said swinging her feet over the side of the bed.

I stopped her, "It's best you wait until your parents come. I will return shortly," I said and then left.

As I passed the nurse's station I told them to keep an eye on Tori. I then headed down the hall to my office to make a phone call.

((Switch POV; InuYasha))

I was making some instant ramen when I heard the phone ring; I sighed and grabbed the phone on the fourth ring, "Yo."

"Usually I would get on to you for answering the phone like that but this is important," a familiar voice said on the other line.

"What do you want Sesshomaru…I thought you were at work."

"I am at work. There's something I have just found out you may want to know."

"And what would that be? Is Kagome in the hospital or something," I asked a little concern easing it's way into my voice.

Sesshomaru sighed, "Nothing like that. Listen…I think we may have a problem. The patient I just talked to, she somehow knew about me as Lord Sesshomaru, she also mentioned Kagura. I think…I think she might be Kagura's reincarnation," he said.

I bit my lip, "How can Kagura have a reincarnation…she was created by Naraku…and if she got reincarnated…wouldn't that mean that Naraku…"

Sesshomaru cut me off, "Yes. I think that a reincarnation of Naraku is out to get Kagura. Kagura had a heart InuYasha…she came to me once begging me to free her from Naraku. I told her no though because I felt that if she was too weak to free herself then why bother."

"Alright…so if she is Kagura's reincarnation…do you think she's going to team up with this new Naraku," I shivered. I did NOT want to have to deal with a Naraku reincarnation…not now, not ever. "Sesshomaru…are you sure it was a Naraku reincarnation that attacked this girl," I asked.

((Back to Sesshomaru POV))

I frowned, "No…no I'm not certain. But I am certain that this girl is Kagura's reincarnation…they have the same aura InuYasha. Except it's human now."

InuYasha grumbled, "Look I want you to be sure before you let this out to any of the others. Especially since Koga is in town, I'm not sure if he's over what Kagura did to his people yet."

I nodded, "Alright InuYasha. Listen I'm going to go talk with this girl some more…if I find anything else out I will call," I said and hung up the phone.

I exited my office and headed back for Tori's room. When I came in I found that she was standing in front of the window and letting the breeze blow through her hair, I cleared my throat to get her attention.

She spun around reached for something in her gown but whatever she had been trying to get wasn't there, "Oh…it's you Doctor," she said, dropping her hand.

I raised an eyebrow, Kagura used to reach for her fan inside her kimono like that. "Miss Sohma…when this boy attacked you…did he say his name," I asked.

She frowned, "No…but for some reason I think I remember his," she said with a faint shiver.

"How would you know his name," I asked.

She sighed and plopped down on her bed, her back to me. I realized she was going to say something that may or may not sound absolutely absurd so I reached behind me and shut the door, "Go on."

She took a deep breath, "I think…I think he was a reincarnation of a terrible demon that used to haunt my dreams. When he grabbed me, I was flooded with all these memories of a past life where I worked for him and did his bidding all because he held my heart in his hands. I believe he is back now…I believe is he searching for revenge on those who killed him all those years ago," she said as if in a trance.

She turned her head to look at me, "Am I crazy? Do you believe in reincarnation doctor," she asked.

I nodded, "Yes I do. In fact, I think you may be the key to finding this boy, this reincarnation. By any chance…was his name…Naraku."

The instant I said his name she froze, her eyes glazed over and started to change colors into a dark red. I stepped forward and put my hand on her shoulder, "Kagura…it's okay…this is a different era he has no control over you."

Her eyes softened as she looked up at me, changing back into their original blue color, "You are Sesshomaru aren't you," she asked in a deeper voice, it was Kagura's voice, but it was slowly changing back into Tori's voice, which was softer and more light.

I stepped back, "Yes Kagura. I am Sesshomaru…but you have to let Tori come back now…this is rightfully her body."

I saw that Tori's eyes were back to normal; she clutched her head, "Dr. Hatori…what's going on? I think there's someone inside me. Am I dreaming," she asked.

I reached for her chin and lifted her face up to look into my eyes, "Tori…it isn't a dream. You ARE Kagura and out there, somewhere, Naraku IS looking for you."

She clutched my doctor's coat, "Don't let him take me again," she pleaded. "I remember everything now, I remember it but I don't want to! How could she have killed all those people…how could I have killed all those people," she asked.

I wrapped my hands around hers, "Kagura was under Naraku's control…though she probably would have killed people anyway Kagura didn't have much choice. You do Tori. Kagura is a dormant part of you that you can control," I said.

This seemed to calm her down, she let go of my coat and looked up at the ceiling, "So what am I supposed to do now? I've never heard of a case where a demon was reincarnated as a human. How am I supposed to stop Naraku's reincarnation from doing the same things he did all those years ago," she asked.

I sighed, "That I do not know. If he is out there…we are about to go through some hell to stop him."

She smiled, "I think I can find him. Even though the link between us was broken…I think it still sort of exists…I just have to find the right strings to pull."

"Be careful Tori…you don't know what this reincarnation is capable of."

She nodded and lay back in her bed, "Thanks Doctor…Lord Sesshomaru."

I bowed and turned for the door when she spoke up, "Sesshomaru?"

"Yes?"

"What happened to your hair?"

I sighed, and shut the door.

((…TBC…))

Review Responses

NefCanuk: Yes it did set things up a bit didn't it? Kagura a blowhard? I wouldn't be so harsh…she was just a little misunderstood.

Fiery Demon Fox: I like writing the thoughts of the enemy...though it is a bit hard at times. I'm glad you like it!

Sean Malloy-1: Here's your update. I know it was a long wait but I hope this will do!

Inukag1: Well questions are good. You can ask I just don't know if I'll have an answer. I'm glad you think I portrayed the evil well. Naraku is a bastard so I have to work hard at making him that way. Oh and more Kagura action this chapter…and a little Sesshy too…hope you liked!
