Research log entry 2: It seems that my specimen has an incredibly violent and savage nature. It apparently tore out the throat and parts of the windpipe while also breaking the neck of a security gaurd while under sedation. I feel that it is necessary that we run behavioral tests, especially for social interaction and intelligence. There is a problem though, now that it has killed someone no one will consent to conduct the tests unless the subject is under heavy sedation and it seems that the subject doesn't behave normally in my presense. The fools, I'm sure that if that thing really wanted to kill us it already would have, it had many chances while in the hospital. While I search for a volunteer we will conduct brain scans and collect a brain and nerve tissue sample. Since it seems that normal sedatives don't affect my specimen as they should I will be using something new, a chemical which completely paralyzes the subject yet leaves it completely aware.
Dr. Adam Smith
Kagome winced when she saw the line at the front desk of the hospital. There must have been 50 people standing in line, they all seemed to be arguing with each other and on cell phones.
A second glance showed Kagome that most of them carried cameras or video recorders, there were even some news crews.
While trying not to attract attention Kagome walked to the front desk. There a nurse was having a heated arguement with someone Kagome assumed was a reporter.
"you can't keep the thing hidden forever, plus we'll pay good money to take the pictures. Its not like it's yours!" the man screamed fervently at the nurse.
"for the last time sir, it's not here, they moved it, so if you want photos so bad then go find it yourself!" the nurse screamed back just as angrily.
She was sweating slightly and looked harassed. 'These people must have been trying to get pictures and stuff of Inuyasha since this morning' Kagome thought.
Kagome flinched when the man called the nurse a very derogatory term and demanded she tell him where they were keeping him.
"I am not permitted to tell you that, besides in order to photograph him you'd have to consent to be near him alone, and without sedation, are you willing to do that? They only put the gentler pictures inthe newspaper. Do you really want to be within striking range of something that did this?" she held up a photo of the man whom had had his throat torn out by Inuyasha.
Kagome gasped at the sight of it. It was a post mortem shot which showed the head and neck of the dead man. more than half of his throat was bitten out and his head was twisted and bent back at a horribly unnatural angle. There was more blood than Kagome had thought that a person could have, it seemed have still been pulsing from the ravaged throat at the time the picture was taken.
The whole room silenced at the sight of the photograph. The man who had been wanting pictures so bad dropped his cell phone which broke in two upon impact with the ground. He made no move to pick it up.
"I've got more, just in case you need more proof" the nurse threatened.
Slowly the room cleared of all but a few people whom had started cell phone conversations. The nurse at the desk gave a weary sigh and dropped to the chair at the desk.
Kagome approached the desk and paused for a moment. She then said "Ummm.. excuse me..." to the nurse to get her attention.
"yes? you can't get photographs or interviews so don't even ask." she said dryly.
"No, its not that, I need to see him," Kagome said shyly. The picture of the victim had really stunned her.
"see him? I don't know what you're thinking but aparently the thing's dangerous. Do you need to see the pictures again?" the nurse said wearily.
Kagome's eyes narrowed at the continued referrence of Inuyasha as "It" and "the thing".
"He's not dangerous! I don't know what you did to Inuyasha to make him do something like this but it must have been something awful. And he's not a thing, so quit calling him that!"
The nurse gazed curiously at Kagome.
"so you would consent to see him if he wasn't restraind or sedated? Aren't you afraid he'll hurt you?"
"He wouldn't hurt me" Kagome simply stated.
"woah, hold on a second, are you saying that you know i- I mean him?" the nurse sat up and regarded her seriously for the first time.
"well of course! why else would I want to see him?!" Kagome demanded.
"well, you have no idea what we've been getting for the past three hours. So you're completely sure that you know what you're getting yourself into?" the nurse asked seriously.
Kagome paused for a moment before responding and looked at the floor.
"it doesn't matter if I do or not. I have to see him." she replied quietly.
The nurse at the desk looked her over for a moment and then turned to her computer. She typed furiously for a few seconds and wrote something onto a post it note. She looked at Kagome again before adding a final scribble to the post it not and handed it to her.
"this is the address where they are keeping him. I've emailed Dr. Smith, the doctor in charge of him, and told him you're coming. Be careful around Smith, there's just something creepy about him."
Kagome silently took the post it note and regarded the nurse for a moment.
"thank you.." she whispered, and turned and bolted out the door.
The nurse watched her leave and the leaned back in her chair.
"that girl has no idea what she's getting into" she said to herself.

ok, this is a kinda bad chapter. I'm not really good at writing ccnversations between people so just bear with me. This is frustrating, I intended for Kagome and Inuyasha to meet in this chapter (and the last one for that matter) but I just can't seem to get there! aaarrgh! pulls at hair Also I just watched the last episode of Inuyasha so I'm all depressed, so bear with me on this chapter. Please review.
