Part of Your World chapter 12.
*Still in Kagome's POV
I walked to the therpists, dreading this waste of time. But, if it was nothing but a waste of time, then why did I dread it so much? It was more like a torture session, all the long silences, all the unasked questions and untold stories. I sighed and went in.
A man came out of the room, rather than my normal therepist. "Oh, I'm here to see Ms. Yamaguchi." I told him.
"And you are Ka-Go-Me?" he asked me, sounding out my name.
"Hai, I am." I said curtly. "Is something the matter?"
"That depends. I am Miroku, your new therepist. Why don't you come in and tell me what is the matter?"
What could I do? I followed him into the room and sat, expecting the long silence to begin.
"And don't try and tell me nothing is wrong. 2 years in an asylum, something is wrong. Now. Any dreams of late?"
'What is it with these people and dreams?' I wondered. "No."
"Nonesense, Kagome, peopel dream every night. Yoou may not REMEMBER them, but you dream."
"Fine, then. I don't remember any dreams."
"No? That's nonesense. The real questionis, why won't you tell me?"
"Fine. I've had dreams about a man. Happy?"
"Is he your father?"
"No."
"Is he a young man with white hair and dog ears?"
"Hai... wait, how did you know?"
"Because I know this man. He is another of my clients."
Now, this freaked me out. He was REAL?! I thought he was just a figment of my imagination! No, I had to admit, deep down I always knew he was real. I just never let myself admit it. Wait a second... How do I know this man isn't a psycopath!!!
"How do I know you're not a psycopath?" Smooth.
"Because I know you, Kagome, though you don't remember me. I was the one who found him trying to sneak you out that night."
Flashback: red eyes. No, gold ones. They weren't red, they were gold. Why did I think they were red? White hair. Dog ears. He had said... he had said... "I want to kill you...", no that wasn't it, why did I think he said THAT, when he really said.... said..... "I'm getting you out of here, Kagome. Let's go." Why? What had I said...... I struggled to remember..... I had said..... He had noticed, something.... I struggled hard to remember.
"He had noticed that you were injured, and you told him how the guards beat you sometimes. That was right before I left to come get him; I was on guard duty with the security cameras. When I got there, you were cowering, and I said..."
"You offered him a chance to go home. I remember now." It was true. I DID remember. But I also remembered terrible claws and red eyes, a monster, a demon. Why? What had he done that made me think of him that way? "Where is he now?" was all I managed to ask.
"In the Asylum still."
"Why.........? Is he... I mean.... did I..." I couldn't say the terrible possibility looming in my head.
"why? My dear child, would YOU belive him if he talked about time-travel and demons? He is quite sane, but he is not belived. I think he is beginning to disbelive himself."
"Dis.... but he IS a hanyou! And he DID come through the well."
"Facinating. Please, go on."
Oh. Right. He was a therepist. I had nearly forgotten. Now comes the one-word answers and loooong silences. Doh! Why did I say anything at all? Now he would put me back....
"Relax, Kagome. I belive you. I just want to know more, that's all." Was it possible? Or was he lying?
"Are you lying to me?" Doh! Of course he would lie to me again.
"no." But if he was lying, then he would just lie about that. And if he had said yes, he could still be lying. But if he was lying about lying then he.... I was starting to get a headache. This was going nowhere.
"I'll take you to him if you want." This was it. Decision time, Kagome. Do you belive him and belive in the Hanyou and go to him? That's a lot of trusting. Or do you mistrust this man and say no? Or was the first memory correct, of red eyes and fangs and terrible, terrible claws?
"What's the catch?" There was always a catch to this kind of thing.
"hmm.... will you bear my child?" He was perfectly calm.
"NANI?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
He shrugged. "Wouldn't hurt to ask." Then he saw the look on my face. "Relax, Kagome, it was a joke!!! Sheesh!!! No catch. Just come. He needs you."
I made up my mind then and there. I didn't like this guy. Oh, right, as for the Hanyou thing? Sure, why not. "Alright." I followed him out to the parking lot, and we both got in our cars and drove away.
REVIEW!!! CLIFFHANGER!! !NYAA!!!!! But I got over my writert's block... wioth a little help from Yuki!! Domo Arigato!!!
