I do not own
"When did you start hallucinating about him?" Hannibal asked
"The first day I went to see Abigail alone." Kagome said
She was sitting in the chair across from him in his office as they started their appointment early in the morning.
"Did he talk to you?" Hannibal asked
"He was amazed by Abigail. Saying that she had potential. I guess he believes that she did help her father." She said
"Do you?" He asked
"A part of me believes she did. Daughters are naturally daddy's little girl. They would almost do anything to please them." She said "I didn't say a word to him cause I knew he wasn't really there. But it seemed to amuse him. Telling me that I can't get rid of him like I did last time. What could cause this to happen?"
"Stress? Trauma? Depression? Many things could have triggered you to hallucinate. Kagome, when you see Abigail Hobbs did you see yourself when you were with the Dove?" He said
"I think you know the question to that." She joked
"I do. But I want to hear it from you." He said
"Yes and no. We had different situations yet we were the cause of their insanity. Her father wasn't ready to let her go yet, he must have suffered from abandonment at a young age." She said
"You're starting to sound like psychiatrist now." He smiled
"Don't tell Will." She smirked
"You do know what he doing right." The Dove said
He was walking around the room, taking everything in. Kagome tried to ignore him. Avoiding where he was standing at. Hannibal saw this.
"Kagome? Do you see him here right now?" He asked
"He's good. He could almost read you like a book. But of course that's if you don't wear your mask on." Dove smirked
He walked over to where they were and stood behind Hannibal.
"Kagome?" Hannibal asked
"Does this mean I'm insane? Me seeing Him everywhere. Hearing his voice." She asked, looking down at her hands
She started to tremble a little and Hannibal got up and crouched down, placing a hand on hers.
"No Kagome. I don't think you're insane." Hannibal said
"Okay, honey, now you know something is up with this guy. I love you and all, but even I would have agreed that you're going insane. But then again I would have loved you much more if you were. We would have made such the prefect couple." Dove smirked
She closed her eyes and placed her hands over her ears, trying to block him out.
"Kagome look at me. Look at me." Hannibal said
He took her hands away from her ears and cupped her face, making her look at him.
"Kagome, now listen to me. I want you to close your eyes, take deep breaths and repeat after me. The Dove is not here. He is locked up. He cannot control you anymore. You are in control." He said "Now repeat."
Kagome closed her eyes again and took in a deep breath before exhaling.
"The Dove is not here. He is locked up He cannot control me anymore. I am in control." She said
"Again." He said
"The Dove is not here. He is locked up He cannot control me anymore. I am in control." She said
"Again, with confident." He said
"The Dove is not here. He is locked up He cannot control me anymore. I am in control." She said
"Now, open your eyes and look around." He said
She hesitated at first but did as she was told and opened them. She looked at him and then where He was at. He wasn't there. She looked around the office and He was nowhere in sight. She sighed in relief.
After a while their timing was up and Hannibal walked Kagome to the other door.
"Doctor Lector do you think I should stop helping Will with the investigation?" She asked "Ever since I started helping things seem to get worse for me."
"No, I believe this is the kind of test that you need, Kagome. You need to show yourself that he doesn't control you anymore. With these cases I believe they may help. And I'll be there to help you." He said
She nodded her head.
"Thank you." She said
She was about to leave until she stop by the door.
"Can you please…not tell Will about this? He has a lot on his mind right now. I don't want him to be worry about this." She asked
"Of course, Kagome." He nodded
She thanked him again and left the room. When she left he darkly smirked. She was relaying on him and only him with this. It won't be long till she is all his.

When she just got out of her last class Kagome was greeted by both Will and Hannibal. They told her the Abigail had woken up and Jack wanted both Will and her to talk to the girl. Kagome rolled her eyes. She should have expected this. Jack did the same to her. When they got there Kagome sensed that awful woman Freddie Lounds in the same room as Abigail. She was in rage and hurry towards the room. Both Will and Hannibal looked at each other and knew that she was upset about something. When they reached the room they could see why.
"How about you stop using this girl to get a story for that pathetic excuse you call a blog?" Kagome glared "Don't you think you did enough damage? And another thing, don't you dare insult my boyfriend like that."
"I'm only thinking what's best for Abigail." Freddie said, trying to sound innocent
"No, you're just a leech that enjoys sucking the truth out of everything and replaces them with your lies just so you can make some headlines." Kagome said
She was fusing and Will placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her down before her true temper comes out.
"Would you excuse us, please?" Will said calmly but wanted to yell just as much as Kagome does
Freddie moved to leave but did it slowly.
"I'm Special Agent Will Graham." Will said to Abigail
"By Special Agent he means not really an agent. He didn't get past the screening process. Too unstable." Freddie commented
Kagome was ready to lash out on her until Hannibal placed a hand on her free shoulder and step in front of her and Will.
"I really must insist you leave the room." He said
"If you wanna talk…" Freddie said
She was about to give the girl her card but Kagome quickly took it from her and then Will took it from her hand and placed it in his pocket. Kagome gave Freddie a glare that dared her to try something else. Freddie was taken back a little but got the hint and left. Hannibal mentally smirked when he saw this. His little bird was very vicious when people try to hurt those she loves.
"Abigail. This is Doctor Lecter and my girlfriend Kagome. Do you remember us?" Will asked
"I remember you." Abigail said with hate in her eyes. "You killed my dad."
Kagome looked at Will and she could see the guilt in his eyes.
"You've been in bed for days, Abigail." Hannibal said "Why don't we have a walk?"
She agreed to it and they took her outside in the garden area.
"I'm sorry we couldn't save your mother." Kagome said as she was standing on Abigail's left side.
"We did everything we could, but she was already gone." Will said on her right and was helping her walk
"I know. I saw him kill her." Abigail said and then they help her sit down in a bench. "He was loving right up until the second he wasn't. Kept telling me he was sorry, to just hold still. He was going to make it all go away."
"There was plenty wrong with your father, Abigail, but there's nothing wrong with you." Will said "You say he was loving. I believe it. That's what you brought out in him."
"It's not all I brought out in him. I'm gonna be messed up." She said "Aren't I? I'm worried about nightmares."
Kagome looked down as she knew the feeling.
"We'll help you with the nightmares." Hannibal suggested
"There's no such thing as getting used to what people like us had experienced." Kagome said looking ahead
Abigail looked at her in curiosity. Will and Hannibal looked at her since she had never anyone beside them and family what has happened to her.
"It's not easy to just forget. No matter how much you wish it would. It will scar you. But that scar helps you. Some are like a reminder of how far you got or to show you that he didn't win. You did. You survived." Kagome said
"How do know?" Abigail asked
"Because…" Kagome sadly smiled at her. "…I was in your place once, Abigail."
The young teenager looked at her with tears in her eyes seeing that she was telling the truth. She wanted to cry, happy that she wasn't alone. But she kept on a brave face.
"I want to go home." Abigail said
After helping Abigail to her room the three were about to leave till they met Freddie Lounds outside the gate.
"Special Agent Graham." Freddie smiled "I never formally introduced myself. I'm Freddie Lounds."
She wanted to shake his hands but he didn't.
"Are you trying to salvage this joke from the mouth of madness?" Will asked with glare
"Please. Let's me apologize for my behavior in there." She said "It was sloppy and misguided and hurtful."
"Miss Lounds. Now is not the time." Hannibal said knowing where this was going
"Look, you and I may have our own reasons for being here, but I also think we both genuinely care about what happens to Abigail Hobbs." Freddie said as if she didn't hear Hannibal
"Oh please. You told her that Will was insane just to get her on your side." Kagome said with a glare
"I can undo that." Freddie smiled
"You help Abigail see me as more than her father's killer, and I help you with online as sales?" Will said as he could see through her fake smile
"I can undo what I said. But I can also make it a lot worse." She threaten
"And the leech shows her true colors. You do know that the only people that read your headlines are the killers and psychopaths that you blog about. You believe it's helping the people when really you're just helping killers get away and giving them the heads up that the police are on to them. How do you think Abigail will feel about you when I tell her that she almost died twice because you led another psychopath to her room and almost killed her?" Kagome said with a cold voice
That tone surprised Will and Hannibal both. Kagome was always kind person that may have a temper side but she never acted so cold to anyone.
"He was going to kill me if I didn't." Freddie said
"To save your skin. You could have lied, he wouldn't have known. If you really did care about Abigail Hobbs like you say you do, you would have gave up your life to save hers." Kagome said
"Like your so selfless?" Freddie said spiteful
Kagome walked up to her with a cold hearted glare that made the red head shaken a little.
"I would have given up my life to save other many times before. Now, I'm only warning you one last time. Stay away from Abigail Hobbs. And if I find out that you wrote another spiteful lie about Will again, you're going to regret it." Kagome said
.

"You know what's not smart?" Jack asked as he finished reading Freddie's blog and looked at Hannibal "You were there with them. And you let those words come out of her mouth."
Kagome rolled eyes as she sat in the chair in the back. Apparently Freddie wrote the threat Kagome gave her in blog and Jack was not happy about it.
"I trust both Will and Kagome to speak for themselves." Hannibal said
"Evidently, you shouldn't." Jack said
"Well if someone had done their job and locked the leech away we wouldn't have to deal with that woman anymore." Kagome muttered
"What was that?" Jacked glared
"You heard me. You had evidence that she was there at the crime scene, which is tampering the evidence. And you let her go. Someone needs to put her in her place." Kagome glared
"Oh and you think you're the one to do it. What if this woman finds out about your connections to the Dove? Is that what you want cause now she will try to find dirt on you." Jack said
"Oh what, are you going to give her the information like you gave her the free walk." She glared and her temper was rising
Jack was too and was about to argue more until Alan Bloom stood up in front of the two.
"Okay, you guys. Let's just take breather here and focus on Abigail Hobbs, please." Alan said
"I need some air." Kagome muttered
She walked out of the room and outside of the FBI headquarters. She sat down on a bench and took in some deep breath to calm down.
"That was so amusing my little dove. Oh how I wish I was really there to see." Dove laughed as he was sitting to the bench next to her.
"You would have killed him for talking to me like." She said in a whispered
"True but I would still have been amused and then kill him. Finally starting to talk me, love. I didn't how long I was gonna get the silent treatment." He smirked
"I was right in there, wasn't I?" She asked him but not look at him
"Of course, Jack is the type of man that doesn't like to be proven wrong. He believes he always right." He said and then leaned in closely to her ear and whispered with a devil smirk. "So what is my little dove going to do now with this…Freddie Lounds. You right were about someone that needs to put her in her place."
