Chapter 3
After Kagome tried to kill herself, or as her mother liked to refer to it as the 'incident,' she was placed in a mental hospital. It was a temporary stay, just long enough for Kagome's mother to have the household removed from any dangerous items. After all they couldn't trust kagome anymore, not after what she did to herself.
Kagome was pissed. She didn't belong here. She barley even remembered trying to kill herself. It was all like a fuzzy dream to her. Yet the stupid jackasses, who called themselves her therapists, insisted that she stayed here until they thought that she was ready to go back home, and this time not kill herself.
Kagome wasn't staying in a normal "room" that the asylum had to offer, if that's what you could call it. The room she was staying didn't look like the ones she had seen in the west wing. That's where the severely mentally ill stayed. She had this feeling that the people in charge of her were hiding something from her. But she just shrugged it off.
Her room wasn't white, that was really the only major detail she could extinguish from the other room, accept that they were dark and much smaller than hers. No, her room was bright and colorful. It was big and had many windows, and worst of all, it looked like a child's room. She could kill herself for just spending, two minutes in there. Not literally of course.
Ever since she got there, she hadn't seen anyone but nurses, to give her food. She was supposed to see a therapist at noon, but she had no idea when that would happen because there wasn't a clock in her room.
There was absolutely nothing to do in her room. They had taken anything potentially dangerous away, incase she hurt herself again. She would be forever bored.
Early in the morning a nurse had come in and woke kagome up, it was her first night here so she didn't sleep to well.
"Hon, it's time to get up," a young nurse with bleached hair had woken kagome up. She groaned
"Five more minutes mom," said kagome in her dreamlike state. The nurse chuckled at her ignorance.
"It's not your mom, sweetie, now please get up. It's almost noon," the nurse said ever so politely.
Kagome mumbled some incoherent words and sat up. She looked at the nurse and gave her a look that said 'I'm up, now what do you want.'
The nurse just shook her head at the girl. "You have to be ready in five minutes, you have a scheduled appointment with Dr. Ookami in ten, okay?" the nurse said a little too kindly for Kagome's liking.
"I'll be outside waiting on the other side of the door," the nurse informed her.
Kagome was now sitting inside Dr. Ookami's office alone. Well technically there was a very buff looking guy, who she guessed to be a guard of some sort, but she felt like he wasn't even there. He was standing in the darkest corner of the room, which happened to be where the door was, he looked like he was apart of the wall.
She fidgeted uncomfortably while she was waiting for the Doctor to arrive. She looked around the room. It looked more like an office than what she expected. There was a desk in the middle of the room, with a chair on one side and three on the other, she was sitting in the chair that was in the middle out of the three.
After about a half hour of waiting, the doctor came. He was tall, with long black hair, tied into a low ponytail, he was lean but had muscle, and he had dark brown eyes.
He had no excuses to where he had been and he kept quit, while he sat down and went through her records. He occasionally mumbled some words here and there and never even looked up from the papers until he was finished.
"Hi. I'm Dr. Ketsunoana, Dr. Ookami will not be here this morning so I am taking his place. However, he will be here for you're later appointment this evening," He stuck out his hand for her to shake. She didn't move. He sat back down on his chair.
"Higurashi, Kagome, Eh? That name sounds familiar. Have we met before?" he was looking at her, and she was looking at him. She didn't respond. 'Great, another uncooperative patient, joy,' the doctor thought sarcastically.
He decided to change the subject to a more serious one. "It looks like you tried to commit suicide, but failed." He said almost jokingly. He looked at her to see if he was right. She gave out no expression on her face to tell him if he was right or wrong.
'What a stuck up bitch,' he thought. 'I guess I shouldn't blame her, but still, I hate it when patients do this.'
Kagome had yet to move a muscle since the doctor arrived. She knew how it was going to be, as long as she was here she make the most of it.
The doctor didn't say anything for awhile. It seemed that kagome was going to have to make the first move to get things going. This wouldn't be so hard, this guy was obviously a perve, and he was looking slightly beneath her neck.
"Hey dickhead, stop ogling me and ask me some fucking questions," that got his attention.
"Um yeah, sorry I was daydreaming," kagome mentally smirked.
"During our conversation that my mother pays you to talk to me?"
"Uh, no sorry, I was actually trying to think of how to ask you something, without offending you," 'what a lame save' kagome thought.
"Like what? How big my breast size is?" if she played her cards right she could get this man fired.
"Yeah..." just realizing what he said. "I mean no! I didn't mean to say that!" he panicked. Hopefully the guard hadn't heard their conversation.
"Can we just change the subject?" he pleaded.
Silence.
"Kagome," he paused for a few moments. "Why did you try to kill yourself?"
To her own surprise Kagome didn't feel the need to kill him right at that moment. She would just keep playing this guy.
"Um I don't know let me think about it," this was too easy, all she had to do was to pretend to think about it and when he finally asked her again pretend she forgot all about it.
She started looking around the room, humming some random song to herself. It was about ten minutes before he decided to say something.
"So?"
"What?" she asked innocently.
"Have you thought about my question?"
"What question?"
"Do you know why you tried to kill yourself?" he said through gritted teeth.
"Um, I don't know. Let me think about it," She had a look of concentration on her face for about 30 seconds, and then she started to hum that song that she was humming before.
"kagome." He said warningly after about five minutes. Give or take a minute.
"What?" she asked, and gave him an innocent look.
"You know what. Now answer the fucking question!"
"What question?" she said with a fake tear sliding down her cheek. "I don't know what you're talking about," she lied.
Just then a male rushed in, not looking at either of the people in his office.
"Sorry, I got stuck in traffic," said a gruff voice that Kagome would recognize anywhere.
'Kouga'
End Chapter 3
Another short chapter and another cliffy.
I originally was going to have Chapter 2 and 3 be one chapter, but I wasn't sure if I was going to finish it before the weekend was over.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
See ya!
