Kagome watched in horror as Inuyasha collapsed to the floor, four darts large enough to be used for the actual game of darts had embedded their inch long needles into his neck, three in his throat and one in the back. He started gasping for air, as if he couldn't breathe or was being choked somehow.

She kneeled over his convlusing body as she frantically tried to remove the darts from his neck. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably, she just couldn't seem to grab the darts. Kagome finally managed to pull two out when she noticed three more appear in his shoulder.

Kagome looked about the room frantically, she couldn't find where the darts were coming from, it was as if the were fired out of nowhere.

When she looked back at Inuyasha she saw that his eyes were locked onto hers. His pupils were unnaturally dilated and seemed to shake from side to side.

Kagome reached down and forcefully wrenched the last of the darts from his neck, and as she did so she yelled to him:

"Inuyasha! no, don't fall unconscious, Please!"

She felt tears rising in her already tear-swollen eyes as she saw the light fading from his eyes.

"I'll get you out of here Inuyasha! I promise, somehow, I'll get you out!"

Kagome was then aware of the figures clad in white standing around her, though she didn't look away from Inuyasha.

Then his head jolted and he fell unconscious after one of the people in the room slammed his forehead with an odd looking steel mallet thing. Kagome held his head up for a moment, gently stroking his cheek with her finger as she set him down on the floor.

Kagome felt as if her heart was freezing over as she turned to look at the people in the room while standing in front of the unconscious Inuyasha. There was a line of blood trickled from his mouth and began pooling on the white floor.

The people had an alien look; the had white lab coats on and white gloves, their faces were hidden by black goggle things and facemasks similar to those dentists wear. They all held black tranquilizer guns which were all trained on Inuyasha's neck.

When of them began to advance toward Inuyasha Kagome planted her feet and glowered at them.

"you're going to have to go through me to get to him. Why do you want to do this to him? What kind of sick freaks are you people!" Kagome yelled at them with increasing fervor.

The researchers reacted to her challenge by advancing on her instead of Inuyasha. One of them roughly grabbed her arm and twisted it behing her. Kagome rammed her elbow into his nose, causing him to release her and clutch his maksed face and yowl with pain. Spots of blood appeared on his white face mask.

Two others grabbed Kagome, and though she struggled fiercly she couldn't escape their grasp.

"let go of me! " she yelled as she kicked one's shin with all the force she could muster.

This seemed to have angered the researcher, he made an angry noise and grabbed Kagome by the back of the neck. Kagome's reaction was unpredicted, even by herself, She screamed as if someone had set her on fire.

Upon hearing Kagome's terror filled scream Inuyasha, who was having restraints put on him by the researchers who weren't resraining Kagome, snapped his eyes open and wrapped a claw around the neck of the nearest person and started squeezing.

He snapped the not completely on steel restraint on his other arm and stood up, still holding the researcher in a deathgrip by the neck. Inuyasha lifted the struggling researcher a foot off the ground by the neck and glared at him for a moment, teeth bared, before he threw him against the wall like a rag doll.

As Inuyasha slowly turned to face Kagome and the rest of the researchers Kagome noticed the purple stripes on his face. He began growling softly as his eyes began to bleed red.

'Oh god... he's... he's transforming ' Kagome thought in horror as she looked on.

The researchers had frozen completely as they stared a of Inuyasha. Then, it seemed as if Inuyasha disappeared and reappered next to Kagome, holding up the researcher who had grabbed Kagome by the back of the neck by the throat and poised his claws above the man's heart, as if he was going to plunge it directly into the researchers chest and tear it out.

Inuyasha's face twisted into a feral grin at the sound of the horrorified shrieks of the man. Kagome turned away and squeezed her eyes shut, she knew that there was nothing she could do to stop Inuyasha in time.

Instead of the sound of flesh being torn apart Kagome heard a pain filled shriek from the demon Inuyasha, he was on the floor, clawing at his nose in pain. The sound of the animalistic shrieks was horrible and full of agonizing pain, Kagome felt as if it was clawing at her heart. She wanted to rush to Inuyasha but just couldn't seem to get her legs to move.

A bored looking man stood over Inuyasha holding what looked like a hairspray bottle. He pointed it at Inuyasha and sprayed him full in the face, causing transformed Inuyasha's feral shrieks to intensify to an earsplitting level. The sound of Inuyasha's pain didn't faze the man, instead a twisted grin appeared on his face, and a crazed hungry look appeared in his eyes as he sprayed Inuyasha again.

Kagome couldn't get her body to react, she was frozen in shock. Luckily one of the researchers regained their composure and place a hand on the man's shoulder and said loudly so as to be heard over the shrieks:

"Smith, that's enough, tranquilize it already!"

The man stopped and looked at the researcher with unfamiliarity for a moment, and then seemed to regain his carriage and muttered "oh, right, yes."

He regained his bored look and glanced down at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha's body was now being wracked with convulsions, but the man known as Smith managed to grab his arm and inject a huge amount of clear liquid with a giant syringe. The lable on it read 'Morphine'.

Smith pulled another giant syringe out of nowhere it seemed and injected more clear fluid into Inuyasha's arm, though this syringe wasn't labeled.

Inuyasha almost immediatly stopped convulsing and shrieking and fell unconscious, the purple stripes fading from under his eyes. Smith stood and looked at Kagome with a look that made the back of her neck prickle.

"so. you must be the volunteer"
