Authors note!!!!

Hi! Oh yeah, disclaimer-I do not own inuyasha or the characters, I am simply borrowing them for this fic. This goes for all chapters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome sat cross legged on the bed, her mind silent. No longer bubbling with questions. Aya poked her head in the doorway and frowned as she saw Kagome sitting on the bed. She had her wet clothes clutched tightly to her chest.

"Midori, please get off the bed and come out and join us. Put those clothes away to. You no longer need them."

Kagome shook her head defiantly.

"I am Kagome, KA-GO-ME. Got that? Not Midori."

Aya shook her head and smiled, her pearly whites flashing dangerously.

"You are no longer Kagome. You chose to join us by your own free will, you are now Midori. It is the name given to you. It is the name you will go by. Now get off the bed!"

Kagome shook her head again. "No. I am Kagome! You will not make me be Midori!"

"You have much to learn. You will not be allowed to leave now that you are one of us so don't even try it."

She turned swiftly, her hair whipping in her face. She stalked out of the room her chin held high. Kagome began to mutter to herself, clutching her uniform closer to her small frame.

"I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. I am Kagome. Not Midori. "

She said this over and over. She said it so much, she began to wonder if that was actually true.

"Am I really Kagome?"

"WHO AM I?"

Shippo ran in circles, chasing his tail. He had been sitting by the bone eaters well all day. He was growing impatient fast. He had run out of games and amusing tricks. He stopped running as a purple light flashed and inuyasha appeared at the bottom of the well. Alone. Shippo jumped down on his shoulder searching under his silver hair, hoping that kagome was shrunken and hiding in there. He stopped suddenly and sniffed.

"You smell like blood and smoke! Where's kagome? Why do you smell funny? Why isn't she with you? Did you find her? Did she give you anything for me? Did she sit....."

He was cut off as inuyasha placed a silencing finger over his flapping lips.

"Kagome won't be back for a while, now I need to go have some adult talk with Sango and Miroku okay? Why don't you go draw a picture for kagome? For when she gets back?"

Shippo squealed with glee and ran off to get some paper kagome had brought him. Inuyasha ran to Kaede's to inform Miroku and Sango about what he had encountered and how he was leaving to retrieve Kagome.

Kagome still sat in the same position when Aya came to check on her again. She sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Kagome, listen, you need to get up or-" she was cut off as a door slammed open behind her.

"SHIT! POLICE! EVERYONE SCATTER!" she turned to Kagome. "If you value your life the way it is, I suggest you run now."

Aya turned and fled from the door. As kagome listened absent mindedly, there were many screams and many shouts. Someone was crying in pain. Shots rang out.

'I guess they have guns. They must have shot someone. How sad.'

Kagome slowly rose form her cramped position and calmly walked through the door. She looked around. Aya lay on the floor clutching a bloody leg. She saw Kagome and reached out a bloody hand.

"Please....." she coughed up blood. "Please, Midori, help me!"

Kagome smiled wickedly. "Why don't you pray to Satan for help?"

She giggled hysterically at her own joke. Aya scowled and lunged for Kagome. She dodged nimbly. And laughed again before stepping over her and walking out the door and into the arms of a waiting police man. She stood shocked for a moment before struggling to free herself. His grip tightened on her and he dragged her toward a police car. Her opened a door and shoved her in roughly. As the door slammed kagome stared at the window and began to cry quietly. She was confused.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome sat in a white room. Light reflected off the bright walls and it pained Kagome to look at them. A nurse and a woman in a business suit spoke in hushed voices with a policeman. The same one that had brought Kagome to this place. The woman in the business suit turned and spoke to kagome.

"What's your name hun?"

Kagome thought for a moment, was her name Midori, or Kagome, she no longer knew. She just shrugged her shoulders. The woman massaged her forehead.

"Ok, where is your family? Are you a runaway or something? Where is your home?"

Kagome's face flashed with sadness for a moment.

"I have no family, I have no home, and I have nothing. I am no one."

The woman frowned. She turned to the nurse.

"Kikyou, I think you to put this girl in your ward. Give her some treatment. Pair her with the new girl in the suicidal ward okay?"

Kagome flinched as she heard the nurse's name. Then she growled. Kagome's heart overcame her mind and she lunged at the nurse.

"Damn you Kikyou! I hate you! I love inuyasha! Why does he have to love you?! I HATE YOU!"

The police man ran forward and grasped kagome by the arms, restraining her. Her screamed and kicked. She went limp suddenly. Tears coursed down her face. She hung her head.

"No, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. I know inuyasha will never love me. I might as well die now."

The policeman and the woman in the suit exchanged glances.

"Kikyou, why don't you lead this gentleman to the ward this girl is going to be staying in?"

Kikyou nodded, and set off at a brisk pace, the policeman dragging Kagome along behind him. The corridors twisted and turned randomly and stairs were numerous. Kagome was led to a whitewashed door with a look on it. The door was covered with steel bars, as was the window.

The nurse unlocked the door and led the way in. they stopped at the 16th door to the left.

"We're here." The nurse said in a no-nonsense tone. She unlocked the door in front of them and kagome was shoved roughly into the room.

"You will be called for dinner, breakfast and lunch each day. You will be allowed a shower every other day if you are good, and will be allowed to watch a pg movie every Friday. That is, if you behave. You will meet your room mate soon enough. She will be coming back from the red room soon. No weapons are allowed and you will not be allowed off the grounds or out of your room without an escort. Now, be good until dinner."

The nurse turned and briskly walked off with the police man at her heels. The door that had been slammed in Kagome's face opened almost immediately. Another girl was roughly shoved in the room, knocking into Kagome. A string of curses fell from her mouth in a different language. Kagome caught bits and pieces of it. She was speaking English. She was able to understand a little.

"DAMN....SON...BITCH!.............TOUCH ME AGAIN....SLIT..... FUCKING THROAT!"

The girl continued screaming even after the door was slammed. Kagome untangled herself and helped the other girl up.

"Thanks" she said, speaking in fluent Japanese. "So I guess they stuck you with me huh?"

Kagome nodded slightly. The girl extended her hand. "Okay since we're roomies, we better learn to like it or it'll be hell for the both of us. I'm Jade. American, you might've guessed that already."

Kagome nodded. She extended her hand and grasped Jade's. "I'm, umm, well, I'm really not sure. I think my name is Kagome, or maybe it's Midori, I honestly don't know."

Jade smiled reassuring her. "Kagome it is then, Midori is to.....well, I dun-know, but I like Kagome better. So what'cha in here for anyway?"

Kagome shrugged,

'No use lying to her, is there?'

"Well I come home one day and my family is dead in the living room. Then the person who killed my family lights my house on fire. I watch as the house burns and then I just turn and walk away. I am walking along the road in the rain and accepted a ride from a young woman in a black van. She offers me a place to say and I accepted that also. So I get there, get new clothes and meet new people. Then they ask me if I wanna join their club. I agree. So then they brand me with a pentagram."

At this point kagome's has her sleeve rolled up and she traced her fingers over the still tender melted skin.

"It turns out that I accidentally joined a cult of Satanists. So now they gave me new name and a new identity. They ended up sacrificing a goat for me. Then I black out and the next thing I know police are bustin in and hauling me to this place. Where are we anyway?"

Jade smirked, "Nice story, glad you spared me the details. We are currently residing in a mental hospital. The call it lords. How suiting huh?"

Kagome smiled. "Yeah, from Satan to god all in one day. I feel so religious. So why are you in here?"

"Well, I came to Japan when my dad committed suicide. My mom got a job as a voice actress so we had to move to Tokyo. That was a big change. Then my mom got a new boyfriend and he was really abusive. He killed her one night by pushing her down the steps. I didn't tell anyone, I had friends on the streets so I was set. Well I got into some trouble and as the nurse puts it "became mentally unstable." I've tried to commit suicide numerous times. I've o.d.ed (over dosed) 5 times just so I could be in a clean place. So now I'm stuck in this hell hole for who knows how long."

Kagome nodded, absorbing this information. She had lost just as much, maybe more then Kagome.

"You'll get used to this place soon enough, and if you ever wanna get out, just ask."

Kagome turned to look at Jade, "But there are so many locks on the doors, I'd never be able to get out. Plus, I have no where to get out to."

Jade smiled mischievously and pulled a safety pin from out of her hair.

"The locks here are all the same, simple and easy to break. When I lived in America, I wasn't the best child. I learned to break locks, shoot a gun, use a switch blade, hotwire a car, you name it, and I did it. I can pick any of these locks! I'm like a fucking Houdini!"

Kagome smiled right back at Jade; maybe staying here wouldn't be so unbearable after all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
