Chapter 14 - Frozen

If she thought her world was dizzying earlier, it was spinning out of control now. Although she was crumbling apart on the inside, she felt frozen. She couldn't move, all she could do was listen as they discussed the details. She would be admitted into the Tokyo Metropolitan Matsuzawa Hospital with Dr. Takahashi overseeing her treatment. How long she remained there would be determined by how long it took for her to return to reality. Dr. Takahashi felt that overtime she would improve after being removed from the trigger locations all around the shrine.

Kagome looked towards her mother, pleading with her eyes for her to stop this. Her mother's warm hand rested over her own as she spoke.

"Kagome, sweetie, this is for the best. Dr. Takahashi believes he can help you and I think it's worth a try. I know this is going to be hard, but we're just trying to do what's best for you."

Kagome looked away from her mother and out the window again. She fought back the tears and tried to swallow the lump in her throat. They thought she was crazy and she didn't know what to do. She just had to be strong and she would make it through this.
