Beyond the wiring

Chapter eight

Memories, facades, the perfect human being

Inuyasha hurriedly picked up Kagome's limp body and shut the limo door behind him. He fished the keys from his pants pocket being careful not to drop her. The door swung open and Jaken appeared looking toadier than ever.

"What are you doing standing there? Get my father!" he barked clearly agitated because of Jaken's stupidity who probably didn't notice a unconcious Kagome in his arms.

Jaken dashed off to fetch Inutashio not bothering to welcome Inuyasha in. Inuyasha walked in kicking the door closed. Inutashio sauntered in nodding at Inuyasha to follow him, He walked beside his father impatiently wondering where the hell where they going. They stopped in front of Kagome's room where Naraku was waiting, annoyance clearly written on his face. (A/N: Pptthh! not like his face is already annoying)

"Place her on her bed"

Unwillingly he placed her on the bed brushing away a strand of bluish black hair away from her face. He glanced at her one last time before backing away to let Naraku fix her or whatever.

But Inuyasha knew if he ever did anything besides fix her he'd give him a piece of his mind and a good sock in the face and even his father couldn't stop him.

Naraku pulled out a steel cutter from his side pocket, gently placing it against her 'skin'. Kagome somewhat winced as if she was in pain as he glided the blade across her skin. He peeled away the skin revealing a small opening which was screwed shut with a keypad with numbers on it. He tapped on the keypad lightly, the numbers '2031145' flashed red in the small screen beside the it. It slowly opened revealing cable ports of different sizes and shapes.

He took out his laptop connecting a wire from his laptop to the port in Kagome's wrist. The sound of the laptop keyboard tapping and the repeated whirrs and beeps were enough to drive Inuyasha crazy.

Naraku's eyebrows furrowed the screen flashing before his very eyes; there were so many errors in her system; cables that needed to be rerouted; programs that needed to be rebooted and files he had to sort through.

Damn.

Inuyasha growled with impatience, what was taking so long?

Naraku turned around setting his laptop on the a empty space on the bed. He drove a hand through his long black hair, a sigh of fustration escaped his lips.

"It seems that there are too many complications with her system and I would have to bring her with me to fix her because of the lack of proper tools. But it would take me a whole day to start up everything again and reroute all the cables."

"What we can't do tha-"

"Of course so you will be returning her wednesday?"Inutashio interrupted sending Inuyasha a stern look.

Inuyasha stood there quiet knowing if he said anymore he'd be punished by his father for disobeying him.

'What happened to protecting Kagome and even father couldn't stop you??' his mind lectured rambling on about stupid black-haired freaks named Naraku and sleeping beauty snoozing on her bed.

'Shut up!' he mentally screamed trying to get that annoying voice out of her head. But the voice was still there jeering at him for being a wimp and a daddy's boy. Inuyasha, enraged by the voice in his head stormed out of the room to get some air.

He leaned against the balcony, the small ears atop his headed twitched slightly. Kagome never seemed to mind the ears atop his head in fact it seemed like she never noticed them at all. Kikyo despised them forcing him to wear hats in public saying it would embarass her and make it seem like she was dating a birth defect case. (A/N: I cried after I typed that it was hard to type it I pratically crashed after reading it *Ducks rotten tomatoes* Please don't hate me *Sobs under desk*)

It was the one thing he could never figure out as to why Kikyou hated his ears so much. Others thought they were cool or cute but she seemed to think of them differently.

Kikyou.

How did you die?

Was it my fault?

That you cursed my name under your breath when we around others. When it seemed that I was a freak in your eyes. What happened to the Kikyou I knew when we were children, the one who didn't care what others thought. The one who was kind to others the one who didn't hide in a facade to fool others and turn them away from the real you. (A/N: This shows some character of Kikyou but this was after Kikyou changed.)

Inuyasha broke out of his reverie seeing Naraku's car pull out of the driveway and head towards the gate. With one last glance he went back inside shutting the balcony door closed.

Sango's figure appeared in the door, a worried expression etched on her face. And that's when he was bombarded with questions.

"Where's Kagome she wasn't in her room? Did someone take her? Was she alright?"

Sango rambled on and on not noticing the irritated look on Inuyasha's face. Inuyasha didn't speak he just walked away leaving Sango dumbfounded in the door way. Leaving one question in Sango's mind, What was his problem?

Inuyasha didn't have time to speak with Sango for now he just needed to be alone.

Kagome.

Would she be okay?

But he couldn't help but think that she was something more than just a humanoid something ethreal something human. There was something he didn't understand about Kagome was her personality, she reminded him of the child- like innocence Kikyou once held. There was something about Kagome that cast her among the rest the fact that she seemed human than us all.

He shook his head, why was he worrying about something that wasn't alive at all but why didn't it bother him that she was what she was. He only seemed to notice what Kagome really was, a machine designed to act and think like a human. More human than real humans themselves someone perfected to be the perfect human being. Kagome was the perfect human being if so was there such a thing as a perfect human being?

Inuyasha brushed his thoughts aside confusion clouding his amber eyes. With one last shake of his head he continued down the corridor still pondering the questions unanswered.

-----

Kagome stirred, a familiar voice rung in her ears the same sinister vouce she heard when she woke up for the first time. She came face to face with those same crimson eyes filled with malice.

"What do you want Naraku?" she spat distastefully sending Naraku a menacing glare.

"Dear Kagome, I've only come to repair your systems because of your carelessness"

Kagome only tossed her head with her nose in the air with one hand giving him the birdie.

"Fuck off Naraku-Dear"

"My my such vulgarity, I wouldn't be suprised since you spend most of your time with that mutt"

Kagome growled nobody and she meant nobody would ever talk about Inuyasha like that ever since they had been civil to each other she had seen him in a different light.

"Shut up"

"Aww.. is little Kagome protecting lover-boy? You know he'd never love you back because of what you are" He jeered lifting up her chin with his hand.

Tears formed at the corners of her eyes as he continued to tease her but it wasn't that that saddened her it was the fact that Naraku was right. Inuyasha would never love her for what she was, a hunk of metal as he put it was as simple as that. She blinked back tears hoping Naraku wouldn't see.

Naraku's eyes widened as the tears made it's way down her cheeks. Was that tears? He stepped back astonished by his discovery.

"What are you?"

Kagome lifted her head up, a pained look clouded her usual cheerful features. A fresh batch of tears cascaded down her cheeks glistening in the light.

"I don't know"
