I do not own
Kagome found herself in the woods. Not sure where she was or how she got there. Suddenly she saw something moving in the tree lines. Then she heard laughter. A child's laughter.
"Hey wait…wait." She said and then ran after them
She ran for a while till she lost track of the kid. Then she heard laughter again and looked up to see a small boy on top of a bolder. Before she could say anything the boy ran off again and she ran after him. She was surprise how fast the kid was. It wasn't long till she ended up in a cemetery. Looking around she spotted the boy sitting on top of a tomb stone. His back was facing her and started singing a lullaby as he kicked his feet back and forth. It was the dark lullaby of Kagome Kagome.
'An old building out of the sun's reach
Hallways with decay starting to leach
In a dark back room
Where children remembered by what, by whom?
They had been waiting for you with them for a long time
We're so happy! We're so happy! Please play with us for a time
Kagome.
Kagome.
Please don't try to run from us.
Kagome
Kagome
What games will we play, can I guess?
Before the moon sets again
You can play with us until then
Kagome
Kagome
Who surrounds you now?
Orphanage deep in the forest greens
So no one would find the dark machines
Made from a little child's brain
Immortality built of children's pain
The children in the orphan place a circle on the teacher with a smiling face
Singing a child play song "Kagome Kagome"
Kagome
Kagome
Children you just lost the game
Kagome
Kagome
Please don't run, you're the same
Before the moon sets aside
Cut their neck off as they cried
Kagome
Kagome
Who surrounds you now?
Even if your arm is taken
Even if your head is crushed in
The children that can never die, they smile at you sweetly
Kagome
Kagome
Don't run away, you'll be missed
Kagome
Kagome
Please drink with us we insist
You should come play with us
Play forever with us
Kagome
Kagome who surrounds you now'
Before she could move or even say anything the boy spoke and what he said stop her heart.
"Hi mommy." The boy said
Kagome rushed over to the boy and looked at him. When she saw his face she knew. She knew tell that this was her baby boy.
"Leo." She cried with a smile
She kneeled down in front of him and cupped his face. He smiled down at her and then looked over her shoulder.
"Hi daddy." He said
Her eyes widen in fear as he disappeared right in front of her and the scene area changed. She was in a cellar and her hands were covered in blood.
"Now you want to cut here carefully. That's it." The Doves voice said from behind her. "That's my boy."
Hearing that made her heart ache and feared what she will see behind her. Slowly turning around she placed a hand over her mouth to stop herself from screaming and crying. In front of her was the Dove helping their son cut through a living person. The Dove looked at her with a smirk and ruffled their son's hair.
"Such a spitting image don't you think, darling." He said "Care to lean us a hand."
Kagome woke up in a gasp and started to tear up. She curled herself in a ball in the blankets and wished that Will was there to hold her. That was the third dream she had with the Dove and her son. It's sweet at first but then it turns haunting afterwards. After three hours she found herself unable to go back to sleep and decided to take a walk. Winston went with her for protection. The walk in the woods seemed to calm her after a while and decide to head back. When she got back she was surprise to see Hannibal at the house.
"Hannibal? How long have you been waiting here?" She asked
"I just got here. Will had asked me to check in on you to see if you're okay." He said
Kagome mentally sighed and unlocked the door.
"Would you like some tea?" She asked
"Please." He smiled
When they enter the house Kagome had to shoo the pack away from the door. Once they settle down she walked over to the kitchen while he looked around the house. It was a simple and cozy looking place but he believed Kagome deserved a better life style than this. Then he notice an area where he believed Will was making his own fish hooks. After he looked it over he was about to head to the kitchen until something caught his eye. It was a sketch drawing of a boy that looked to be around three or four years old. From the facial feature he could see some resemblance of Kagome and the Dove. This was a drawing of her son.
"Will told me that you've been having a lot of nightmares lately. About your son, Leo." He said when he enter the kitchen
He watched her as she tensed. This was a tender memory for her that she didn't like talking about, even during their session.
"It will be his birthday in two months." She said trying not to cry. "I don't know why but lately I keep feeling like he's alive. That he's waiting for me to find him. Is it crazy of me to feel that way?"
"No, Kagome, its not." He said and hugged her
She didn't fight or tense when he did, she didn't care anymore. She just want the nightmares to stop. Hannibal was happy that she didn't tense when he hold her like this. He wanted to show her that he could be there for her better than Will can. She started to sob so he rubbed her back in circles telling her soothing words to calm her down. Then the next words that came from her mouth made his heart beat fast.
"Can you stay with me for a while? I don't want to be alone right now." She asked
He placed his chin on top of head and a dark smirk formed on his face.
"Of course. Anything for you, Kagome." He said

That night when Will got back from his case he went to see Hannibal for his session. Hannibal asked him about his mother which Will found amusing. He didn't know his mother since she left him at a very young age. Also because of his childhood he could never connect the idea of having a family of his own. This got Hannibal to mentally smirk since he knew Kagome did.
"Does Kagome know about this?" He asked
The question got Will to look down in guilt.
"I love her. And I want to do right by her. I know she wants to start a family. I could see it her eyes every time she sees a child." Will said "She has so much love to give. But I don't know how to tell her that I'm not ready yet. I'm worried if we have children they will end up with my bad genes. She deserve someone better than me."
Hannibal mentally nod in agreement, believing that was him. Then he changed the subject and talked about the case.
"There was also…something left in the Turners house. It was hidden in the mothers hand but she didn't grabbed it. It was placed there." Will said and took out a drawing that was in an evidence bag. "We thought this was from one of the kids but we're not so sure yet."
Hannibal took the bag and looked at the drawing. It was a child's drawing yes but it had more detail. There was a drawing of a woman and six boys. The youngest was far away from the family. On the back it had a name on it.
Conner's family next
"So the killer could be this family. And it appears that the youngest is showing you the way. You can tell that he doesn't see himself as part of the family." Hannibal said
"Mothers always babies the youngest so he is less to be excepted to betray her." Will said
"Have they been able to find prints from the picture?" Hannibal asked
"The team was able to find some and are checking them out now." Will said "I just don't understand. The youngest are like the runts in the pack they wouldn't do anything this dangerous against their alpha. He would tag along and do as he is told."
"Maybe this one see himself as a lone wolf. Sees himself as an alpha. He knows that this isn't his pack." Hannibal said as he looked at the picture again.
Two days had passed and Kagome was wrapping her last Christmas presents for mother and brother. There was a snow storm in Japan so her mother's plane was delay until it clears out. She was sad about it cause she really needed to talk to her mother right now. Just as she was about to place the presents under the tree she got a phone call from Hannibal asking if she could come by his place for dinner. Will had left again and she didn't really want to spend time by herself after she woke up from another nightmare so she decided to go. When she got to his place he opened the door and let her in.
"You have a beautiful house, Hannibal." She said
"Thank you." He smiled "I'll give you the tour after I'm done preparing dinner."
"May I help?" She asked
"Of course." He said
They went into the kitchen and Kagome was surprise to see Abigail there.
"Hello Kagome." Abigail smiled as she was holding a cup of tea.
But Kagome could see that she was drugged or something. When she saw the tea pot and saw what was inside it she looked at Hannibal with a glare.
"Psilocybin's? Are you serious? What were you thinking, giving her that stuff?" Kagome said as hurried over to the young girl.
She took the tea cup away from her and cupped her face.
"Those are very strong. They can make her hallucinate things." Kagome said
"It's okay…I'm fine mom." Abigail slurred "Its to stop me from having bad dreams."
The word halted Kagome and Hannibal.
"Why did you call me that Abigail?" Kagome asked
Sorry, my mother will…normally coddle me like this. It feels nice." Abigail dreamily smiled
The drugs were coming and going it seems. Kagome gave her a small smile and kissed her forehead.
"Come on let's get you to lie down. I'll get you up when dinner is ready." She said and looked at Hannibal. "Do you have a guess room?"
"Upstairs, two doors on your right." He said
She helped Abigail stand up and lead the way.
"I'm done scolding you. When I come back down you and are gonna have a talk." She said to him
When they left he just smiled at the scene. He did this to help Abigail but also to have Kagome here to use her motherly instincts. To show that this could be her family, him, her and Abigail.
After Kagome was done scolding Hannibal for using those mushroom on Abigail she was able to calm down. In one hand she was disappointed that he was using those on her but on the hand she could understand why. The mushrooms could help her with the dreams but could be dangerous without supervision. Dinner was ready and to her surprise he made breakfast for dinner. She helped Abigail sit down in the dining room while Hannibal brought the plates out. Kagome notice that the whole time Abigail was staring at the both of them.
"What is it?" Hannibal asked as he noticed this too. "Abigail? What do you see?"
Her smiled widen as she continued looking at them.
"I see family." She smiled
They started dinner and talked a little. When they were finished Kagome got a call from Will. Telling her that she needed to come to HQ right away. After taking Abigail back to the hospital she and Hannibal went to the FBI building. When Will saw them he was surprised to see Hannibal with her.
"Will what's wrong?" She asked
Will rubbed the back of his neck, not knowing how to tell her this.
"We were able to catch "The Lost Boys". They're alive. Only one got shot in the shoulder. Um…" He said
"Will?" She asked
He couldn't tell her so he took her hand and led the way to the interrogation room. When they were in the room with the one way mirror so they could see and listen Kagome saw a child in the room with Jack. Her eyes widen when she got a good look at the boy, as did Hannibal.
"Leo." She whispered
