Heya! More answers to reviews!

B-chan- Ah, so many questions! But I fear I can't answer them all, you'll just have to wait! Don't worry though, there is a logical explanation for why this all happened the way it did. It'll be explained and discovered in due time. As for Inuyasha being your doctor...maybe I can arrange that!

Lemon-Queen-69- Please don't kill me! The song you asked about is called "Deep Forest" and is one of the openings to the Inuyasha series. No, sadly I don't own it. And thanks for your concern about my kitty, Skittles! He's all okay, it was only a check up.

Gryphnwng- What's A/U? ^_^;; Sorry, I'm the clueless one, I know. And I love making cliffhangers because I'm evil but of course I hate reading cliffhangers!

Aila the Healer- Don't worry, it'll probably have a happy ending, as long as everything works out. Most of my stories are sad but I usually have happy endings. I hope your minions don't haunt me!

Inez- Wow! I never even thought about Naraku being a creepy janitor! That would be funny! He'd have a mop and everything...*funny mental image* Yeah, Kagome is beginning to unwind a bit because she's been like called crazy forever and she was starting to believe she really WAS crazy when suddenly she found Inuyasha. Even if he doesn't remember, at least it proves she wasn't entirely crazy. Now she just has to figure out why he doesn't remember and how to get him to!

liz3386- Thank you for reminding me about Yura!! I don't know why but I always forget at least someone! You'll have to read to see what part she plays!

Thanks so much everybody!! Enjoy!

-Chapter 7-

"Frightening Revelations"

Inuyasha shook his head as he climbed up his apartment stairs. He couldn't believe what his eyes as seen on her files. Even if it was only was a glimpse, it was still shocking. He knew it. He knew there had to be more to her story than everyone was letting on. And now he had found the answer. Inuyasha pulled out his bun, letting his hair flow freely. He brushed his hand through it before he slammed into something, knocking it over.

"Watch it!!" An old man cried up at the doctor.

Inuyasha bent down, helping the man up to his feet. "I'm sorry Myouga, I didn't see you there." He quickly apologized, wanting to be on his way. Myouga was an old apartment neighbor of his. The man was friendly and liked to give Inuyasha advice, but sometimes he seemed like a real bloodsucker. He was always trying to borrow things from Inuyasha and he always ran when things started to get a bit intense. The man was very short, making him hard to notice for someone of Inuyasha's height. His skirt was wrinkly and he had a snowy white moustache complete with a matching circle of hair. The top was bald and when it hit the right light at the right angle, it shined.

"Yeah well, nobody ever seems to see me there. Eh, what's that in your hands?" He peered at the disk that Inuyasha was holding in a death grip.

"It's nothing." Inuyasha tried to inch away. He wanted to look at what else the files said. "Listen gramps, I'd love to chat but I've got some work to do. See you around, ok?" Inuyasha turned, sauntering down the hallway towards his room.

Before he got out of view, Myouga called down after him. "Yura was looking for you again! She still wants to give you that free hair cut!!"

Inuyasha sighed. Yura was a slightly freakish girl who lived on the lower level of the apartment complex. Ever since she had seen Inuyasha, she had gained some kind of weird obsession with his hair. Whenever he saw her, she'd try to touch it and offer him free haircuts at her salon. Once she even went as far as to beg Inuyasha to leave his hair to her when he died.

Just his luck he had been cursed with such strange neighbors.

Finally he reached his apartment. He pulled out his key and unlocked the door. As he walked in he flickered on his lights and shut the door behind him. Dropping the floppy disk onto his kitchen table, he pulled his shirt off while he hopped into his room. After a few seconds, he emerged wearing drawstring blue pants and a white tank top undershirt. He was holding his laptop under his arm, which he started up, setting it down on the table. He flicked his coffee maker on before he sat down in an oak chair.

"Crap!! Kirara, come here!" Inuyasha called out to the fox-like cat that came strutting into the kitchen. Stretching back and tilting his chair, he grabbed a bag of cat food and poured it into the bowl next to him. "There's your dinner." He tossed the bag to the side before he made sure she had enough water. Sango had left her cat, Kirara, in his care until she was able to find the time to pay enough attention to her. With all of her exterminating jobs and searches for her bother, she found it hard to look after the cat also.

Kirara meowed with joy before indulging herself in her food.

Turning back to his now-ready laptop, he slid in the disk. He double clicked to open it up and waited, holding his breath, hoping what he had seen might not have been true. But to his dismay, it opened with the same words. Frowning, he began to scroll through, scanning the words over. There were police reports, interviews with her mother and brother, interviews with Kagome and much more. Why was everyone hiding this? Shaking his head, Inuyasha began to recite the reports out loud, hoping they would make more sense.

"Hm...that's really weird. Right here, on the interview with her mother..." He paused, pulling out a rectangular black box. He opened it up and produced a pair of black, thin wire frame glasses. He would die before he let anyone know he wore them. Slipping them onto his nose, he proceeded to think out loud. "Her mother claimed that for over a course of a year Kagome would disappear. She would leave the house for months at a time before showing up for a few days then leaving again." He shook his head. Where did she go? He wondered. And why didn't her mother stop her? He kept speaking as if he was talking to Kirara. "It says here that she stopped running off after a year or so. She then refused to leave the side of an ancient well they had on their shrine. Humph....didn't know that she lived in a shrine. No wonder she has so many weird stories..." He read through the rest of the interview. "When she returned the hallucinations and stories began. Also her depression." Scanning through, he clicked open another report.

It was a police report.

He had known that her grandfather had died but he was pretty sure it had said from a disease. What he read shocked him.

"On October the 9th, Kagome's grandfather was attacked in his shrine and was brutally murdered."

His eyes widened as he kept speaking.

"When they arrived at the scene, the family was in hysterics and refused to enter the room he was in for it was too sickening to see twice. Kagome had been by the 'well' and the rest of the family had been out. The police entered to find the old man sprawled on the floor, losing blood by the gallons. There was a large slash through his side and a perfect hole in his shoulder along with many other cuts. He was bleeding profoundly and his cuts seemed to bubble almost. The man was barely alive but whatever held him on was briefly cut off. The police found a bunch of protection spells printed on paper around the man. It was obvious that he had struggled. They never caught whatever killed him. When they examined him they discovered that the wounds couldn't be created from a knife or gun or any weapons. And they were too clean cut to be made by an animal. So what had murdered him...?"

Kirara yawned, licking her paw before she jumped onto the chair next to Inuyasha. She curled up and closed her eyes.

But Inuyasha didn't notice this. "Kagome was put into therapy then by her mother. They asked her if she knew of anything that could have killed him like this and she told them a demon. She said it was the demon."

He scrolled down, reading another police report. "Kagome was still living at home while she attended her appointments but on January 20th, three months after her grandfather's death, when she was left home alone she was attacked. Her brother was returning from school when he heard her scream. By the time he got to her, he found her bleeding from a large wound on her side. It was a solid slash but a knife did not make it. Nobody knew what made it. It was very similar to the wounds her grandfather had received but a lot lighter. Almost identical. She was rushed to the hospital where she was released a week or so later. She said it was after her, the demon that killed her grandfather."

Inuyasha furrowed his eyebrows.

This had to be some kind of joke! Kagome just disappearing for months? Some claw-like creature or murderer killing her grandfather then attacking her?! This case was getting just a little bit over the top for him.

Inuyasha decided tomorrow he and Kagome would have a nice long chat but before now, he needed to rest and to think about what he was going to do.

Shippo hoped into the room, plopping himself down on the familiar couch. "Hi Mr. Inuyasha!!" He chirped.

"Hello Shippo." Inuyasha replied grouchily. He was tired for he had stayed up a lot during the night in deep thought and such.

"Don't call me that anymore!" Shippo yelled at Inuyasha but he kept his voice low. "From now on, my name is Yasushi!! Got it? So don't call me by my real name, ok?!"

"Fine...Yasushi." Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Nice choice, how'd you come up with it?"

"I pulled out a book of names, flipped open to a random page and put my finger down. That was the result." Shippo bounced in his seat. "Very scientific, huh?"

"Yeah, right." Inuyasha smirked at the child. "So how goes the new family? Are you getting along? Have they caught Hiten or his brother yet?"

Shippo sighed. "No, they haven't caught them yet but last I heard Manten had gotten shot through his nose so it'll be easier for the police to spot him."

"That's good. How have you been feeling lately?" Inuyasha leaned back in his chair, trying to pay attention as the young boy kept speaking but it was so hard to do. All he could think about was getting to talk to Kagome later on and what he would ask her. How would she react? Would she tell him the truth? What would happen?

"INUYASHA!!" Shippo screeched, causing Inuyasha to jump into the air. "Good, now pay attention to me!!"

"Sorry." Inuyasha mumbled an apology. At this rate he was going to end up getting himself fired. "I'm just thinking about a new patient named Kagome. You ever met her before?"

"Kagome?" Shippo rubbed his head. Somehow the name sounded familiar but he couldn't match it up with anyone he had met before. When he spoke her name out loud though, it sent an almost calming peace over his soul. "No, I never met anyone by that name."

"Oh...ok. Thanks though." Inuyasha cracked his knuckles. "How has your new medication been working for you?"

"Perfect. It helps a lot when I get freaked out at night. Thankfully in my foster home, they let me sleep in the same room as them." He informed Inuyasha before he went off speaking about his parents.

After another hour, the session ended and Shippo was ready to leave.

"See you soon, book your next appointment..." But Inuyasha was cut off.

"Yeah, yeah...I know. Book it with Kikyo." Shippo smirked as he wandered down the hallway.

"Actually, I was going to say with Miroku. He thankfully returned today- finally." Inuyasha gave Shippo a smug grin before turning to go eat his lunch.

A loud smack echoed down the hallway.

It was good to have Miroku back.

Lauren: Hehe...Myouga is a bloodsucker.... wow....bad joke there! Shippo's current name, Yasushi, means "Quietly Faithful". Ah, I'm so happy! I ordered the first Inuyasha movie and it was finally shipped!! I can't wait to get it! *bounces with excitement* So what did you think of the chapter? More mysteries!! Well I'd love to stay and write more but I'm tired and the bed is calling me. Thanks again, all of you!
