The three girls ran to the hospital as fast as they could. When they got there, they went through the back door and closed it. They moved furniture against it and sighed.

"Oh my God… They're gonna kill us! Did you hear how enraged they sounded!?" Rin asked frantically.

"Yeah… We need to get to front entrance of the hospital. That would be the least suspected tactic." Kagome said.

Natori crossed her arms in thought, as per usual. "Perhaps… But we have to consider the amount of time we spent both with our partners, we know them, which is an advantage yes, but they also know us… Which could prove to be our downfall if we're not careful… So in order to throw them off of our trail, we need to do something uncharacteristic of ourselves."

"So we have to be those horror movie idiots that walk towards death?" Rin said.

The girls giggled, but Natori sighed soon after. "Yeah, we've thrown ourselves into a deadly game of cat and mouse, and if the mice, us, don't want to end up dead, then we have to figure this out, and we have to figure it out quick."

Natori's back suddenly went rigid. "They're here! Let's go!"

Running out of what they assumed was the basement, the girls found themselves out in a hallway. The sound of a door being broke down was loud within the abandoned building, and the fear was trying desperately to bubble out of them. But they couldn't afford emotions like fear, not now.

"What do we do!?" Rin asked.

"I would normally suggest running into one of the rooms and hiding until they passed by, but since we're being uncharacteristic, let's take the stairs!" Kagome said.

"Good thinking. I can hear them coming up the stairs! Rin quick! Create a diversion so that they don't immediately expect us going up the stairs! It'll also hide the sound of our footsteps! Hurry!" Natori told Rin.

The girls ran up the first flight of stairs so that they wouldn't be seen. Rin then telekinetically opened the door of the room in the middle of the hall and slammed it closed, causing a loud noise and ring to resound throughout the building. The girls quickly made their way up the rest of the stairs and were running down another hall before the sound faded away.

"Great thinking Rin! To use the door in the middle of the hallway was genius!" Natori complimented her quietly.

Rin smiled. "Thanks, I was thinking about what you said about our spending time with them, and Sesshomaru isn't easily fooled. He would notice something off about the furthest door on the hall being slammed. It's not often that he lets his emotions cloud his rationality."

Natori nodded. "You're right. In that regard, he and Taisho are alike. He rarely lets his emotions get the better of him, and even when they seem to overflow… He always has control. He's one of the greatest warriors I've ever come to know, and if we make one false move we'll be caught."

Kagome sighed fondly. "InuYasha isn't anything like that. He deals with both youkai and human emotions, and is often thinking irrationally. I kinda wish they were all like him, that way we could fool them easily. Knowing InuYasha, he's too riled up to even think straight, and would be the first one charging into random rooms and tearing them apart looking for us."

Natori smirked. "It would be easier… But you know I've always loved a challenge."

The girls made many uncharacteristic twists and turns before they stopped to rest. The hospital was like a maze; surely they wouldn't be able to find them right? Footsteps chilled their blood to ice, and they ran into the closest room there was.

"How the hell are they finding us so easily!?" Rin exclaimed quietly.

Kagome facepalmed. "They're dogs. I totally forgot about that!"

Natori groaned in annoyance. "I did too… Fuck!"

"Wait!" Rin exclaimed suddenly. "Listen, just bear with me for a moment ok?" Upon seeing both girls nod, Rin continued. "Ok listen, we've been running throughout the night sweating in these clothes right?"

"Yes…" Both girls confirmed.

"Natori," Rin continued with glee. "How far are they?"

"They're on the floor below us." Natori replied.

"Ok good! I say we strip out of these clothes and leave them here! We'll even put them in different spots of the room to make it seem like we're hiding! It'll throw them off of our trail and it'll give us time to bail! Its good right!?" Rin asked.

Kagome took a deep breath while Natori was gaping. "Rin… That's brilliant!" Kagome exclaimed.

"Pure genius." Natori replied.

Of course the two older sisters weren't surprised that Rin was smart. It was just that Rin never really did well under pressure, and the fact that she could figure out such a brilliant tactic showed that… She was growing. Kagome and Natori smiled endearingly before stripping down to their undergarments. Natori wiped the rest of her sweat off on her clothes and then placed them in a hiding spot. Kagome and Rin did the same, and before the Inuyoukai could make it up the stairs, they were gone. They had run back down the steps and onto the first floor. Before them were a set of double doors. Stepping through, they expected to see the front lobby that showed the way out, but they had actually stumbled upon the cafeteria. There were plates and bowls on the tables, as well as dirty, rusted silverware and mold-covered objects that can only be assumed as very spoiled food sticking on them. Rin shuddered, and Natori walked over to one of the tables.

"It's as if they were evacuated… There's still food on the plates…" Natori murmured gently, crossing her arms in thought again.

Kagome shrugged. "Eh, we've got time. Let's explore this a bit, see what we find."

Both Natori and Rin nodded, and the trio spread out to explore the cafeteria. Rin looked around the cafeteria while Kagome was in the kitchen. Natori had found a door that led to an office, and she was currently leaning against the desk reading through the files. The hospital's name was printed on the paper. Mercy hospital, home of the mentally disabled… Mentally disabled? That couldn't be right.

"Rin! Kagome! Come here!" Natori called.

Both girls walked into the office curiously, closing the distance when Natori waved them over. "Look at this." Natori prompted.

"… Mentally disabled? Like… A mental hospital?" Rin asked.

"No… I think… This was an insane asylum." Kagome whispered.

"Whoa… Is this the list of people who were here?" Rin asked.

"Yeah, but this list isn't recently, this was before we were even born." Natori sighed, reading through it.

Their eyes suddenly widened, and their blood ran colder than anything they had ever experienced. Kagome covered her mouth as not to vomit, while Rin fell to her knees. Natori was seemingly frozen in place, and neither girl noticed the three large figures standing before them. Inu No Taisho thought he would still be able to keep his anger, but upon seeing how genuinely horrified they looked, he knew he didn't stand a chance. He watched as the three girls looked up at them, and he looked to see that he sons were in the same predicament as he. He turned his gaze back to Natori, who was holding a piece of paper in her trembling hand. She righted her posture, and Inu No Taisho watched her trembling form close the distance between them. She was usually so beautiful to him, but this time… No… She was petrified, and it wasn't because of them. She wordlessly gave him to the paper, before her legs gave out. Of course he caught her in his arms, and could then feel just how hard she had been trembling. The girl was practically shaking with fear! Inu No Taisho watched as his sons rushed over to their respectful lover. InuYasha rubbed Kagome's back while Sesshomaru helped Rin up. They wrapped their coats around them, and InuYasha pulled Kagome close while Sesshomaru searched Rin's eyes for the source of her fear. Inu No Taisho then remembered the paper Natori had given him. Looking over it, his eyes widened at the new piece of information that landed in his lap.

"Jasiris…"

"What about him?" InuYasha asked.

"This is an abandoned insane asylum, and Jasiris was one of the patients."

"What!?" InuYasha exclaimed.

"Hm. It explains a lot," Sesshomaru said. "We should look around for anything else that would maybe explain why he was here."

"You are correct." Inu No Taisho uttered. He looked to Natori's seemingly paralyzed form and sighed. "But we must get them home and in bed first… I think this revelation is all the punishment they need."

Both sons nodded and took the girls out of the hospital. Upon arriving home, they took them to their rooms. Each youkai washed and dressed their lover before putting them in bed. With a promise of returning, the Inuyoukai left the mansion and returned to the hospital to search for more documents concerning Jasiris.

A/N: Sorry for the wait everyone, and sorry if this isn't as good as my other chapters.
