Dr. Smith watched Inuyasha and Kagome through the one way mirror. At the time she was helping him walk around the small research room. An evil smile appeared on the face of the crazed doctor as he came to a realization.

'yes, this will do very nicely'

He thought as his evil smile widened. He had come up with the perfect way to control his specimen, an at the same time ensure that it remained his forever.

Kagome watched with concern as Inuyasha looked at his reflection in the mirrior separating the two rooms. His face would have appeared blank to any who didn't know him well, but Kagome recognized the sheer terror hidden behind his eyes.

Inuyasha lifted his hand and felt the place on his head where his hair bad been shaved, and then felt the ear in the area. It was pockmarked with odd looking cuts, and there was a place on it where it had been completely pierced through. Inuyasha turned back to look at Kagome with a look that told her that he needed her to assure him that everything would be ok.

His eyes pleaded with her and Kagome desperately wanted to tell him that it would, but she knew deep down that it wouldn't, even if Inuyasha escaped soon. He was changed, scarred forever.

Kagome wrenched her eyes from his and stared at the wall.

'pretty bad...' he thought as he examined his reflection. He had had his long silver hair his whole life, his head felt unbalance and exposed without most of it. Even on the parts where it hadn't been shaved off it had turned ragged and grey. Inuyasha wasn't noticing this however, he had never been one to place alot of meaning in appearances.

What he was examining the most was how much these humans had changed him from what he had been only a few weeks before. How could they have such power?

He suddenly felt a wave of fear at what further changes they could bring about in him. He looked to Kagome, he needed her to tell him that he would be alright. Even though he knew that her words wouldn't sway his fate it was all he wanted at the moment, he didn't care if it wasn't true.

When he realized that she wasn't going to he felt another wave of fear, what if kagome didn't accept him now that he was so different? The fear intensified when she turned her gaze to the wall. He turned his head back to the mirror but looked at the floor. She hadn't actually said that she loved him back, what if... what if she didn't? Had he told her for nothing, only to be hurt again? He couldn't do this alone.

Inuyasha almost flinched when he felt Kagome place her warm hand on his shoulder, she had tears in her eyes but Inuyasha could tell that she was fighting hard to keep them from falling.

"Inuyasha.... I'm going to be honest... I don't know how this will turn out at all. All I know is that I love you too, I have for a long time now. I'm not going to let you go through this alone, I'm going to do all I can for you, even if it means killing them myself."

Inuyasha was about to object, he knew that even hurting an evil human was hard for Kagome, but before he could she started sobbing and threw her arms around him. The hysterics slightly scared Inuyasha but it moreso gave him this horrible feeling of guilt, the way he always felt when he saw her cry.

He was about to say something when a small, swift movement caught his eye. He looked to where it had originated and saw a black dot on the wall. He squinted at it when it seemed that it moved again.

Inuyasha placed his hand on Kagome's shoulder to calm her down and then took a step toward the dot. He was sure that it had moved now.

Kagome noticed him stared at something and said quietly:

"Inuyasha? What is it?"

Inuyasha took a few steps toward it and looked closer. It wasn' t just a black dot, it was a round black tinted piece of glass set in plastic, and it did make small movements every few seconds.

"Theres this thing on the wall. Kagome, do you know what this is?"

Inuyasha looked at Kagome quizzicaly. There sere tons of wierd thing in this era, but Kagome seemed to know what they all were.

Kagome walked over to it and examined it. After a few seconds she gasped and looked frantically back at Inuyasha.

"Oh god, They've been filming us! It's a-"

She was cut off when Inuyasha felt an Impact in his neck, and then the now familiar choking feeling that came with the darts. He tore the small thing out, only to feel three more pierce deep into his neck. He started gasping from the choking feeling and fell to the floor, unable to stand from the effects of the tranquilizers.

As his vision began to blur he felt still more darts lodge themselves into his shoulder. Kagome rushed over to him and kneeled over him, trying to pull the large darts out. She was yelling something, but Inuyasha couldn't hear her. He fought hard to keep his eyes from rolling into the back of is head, he wanted to look at Kagome for as long as possible.

And then all at once he blacked out completely.
