Chapter 5

Soon,he let out an agonizing scream to match hers. She looked up,he was no longer there,instead,he lay on the floor behind her against the back wall.He was no longer conscious,and had a rather large hole somewhere between his chest and stomach.

She turned to the door to where,over the sound of her own screaming and fear banging around in her head,she had heard a cracking booming sound.

She looked over to see a man,whom she didn't recognize,standing in the doorway.In his hands was a rather large Bazooka.He looked evil,grinning from ear to ear at his accomplishments.The accomplishment of bringing physical pain to the un-tamed creature. She supposed she was supposed to thank him.He had probably saved her life,but she couldn't help it.

"Why?",she asked,looking back at the boy.

The man just stood,still as a statue,before turning and laughing at nothing.

"I saved you.But don't get me wrong,it was mearly because i am at a shortage of staff.I care not what happens to you.And don't worry,he's my main test subject,I won't kill him.He'll shake it off by tomorrow he always does".

And then the man was gone.Out of the door,and out into the cold hallway.

She looked back at him sympathetically.He was just lieing there,in a heap by there wall.Soaked in his own blood.She couldn't bear it.Even if he were to wake up and kill her she would take the risk and help him. Even if he did hate her,she could see why he wouldn't trust her.Why he wouldn't like humans.Sango had said he had been here a long time.He looked about 17,but with demons you could never be sure.They might have injected him with some sort of youth potion or something,but she was just going with 17.That was two years older then her.So while pondering theses thoughts,she slipped out of the door to her room in search of bandages,antibacterial spray,anything!

He groggily opened one eye,and was immediately hit with a wave of pain,and he was glued to the floor, hand over the wound.

'Wait',he thought suddenly,'what's this?'.

He moved is hand over some strange bondage that seemed to be wrapped around his injured area.

'A bandage? Who did this?'.

He couldn't figure it out.Nobody really bothered with bandaging him.They all just relied on his demonic healing ability.The ability however,did nothing for pain.Now he would hide as much as he could,but it was still there.

He pulled himself off of the floor,despite the pain,and looked around.It was clean.The blood was gone,his Haori was cleaned and folded nearby.Everything seemed to be taken care of.The room had even abandoned it's foul sour oder,and smelled more,jasmine-ish.Well,kinda jasmine,vanillas,daisy rose,well a buncha stuff,but all in all it smelled good.But there was one that stood out from the rest.It smelled pure,kind,different from any other.It smelled sorta like Kikyo,only sweeter.And it was on everything. His dressings,his Haori,the Handel of the mop in the corner,it was all over the room,and he recognized it.

'It was her!'.

Kagome sighed. She was sitting in her room late that evening.It was about three days later,that was about how long Inuyasha had been out.Of coarse,she didn't know his name yet...

( A/N: unless of course i already mentioned it in which vase she does.I can't remember if he told her or not. )

It was then that she heard the weird bleepy sounds,and her living room wall/window turned into the oh-so-familiar- video phone screen thingy!

She jumped slightly,forgetting that that could happen,but calmed down when she saw Sango's face on the screen.

"Hey Sango",she said waving,"

"Hey Sango! wazzup? what's the emergency?".

"Well,tomorrow they are picking the people for experiment testing.The testing is the day after tomorrow.I just thought you should know.Oh they'll have a gold star on their door if thy were chosen! well outta time G2G later!".

Kagome looked around.That was certainly random.What was experiment testing?Well,she supposed it was the lab work. That would make since.Well,no duh really! But hey she wasn't thinking very clearly today.She hands other things on her mind.

And she finally got a brain,and ran over to the desk,grabbed her key,and ran back outside.She knew it was only her second time with the experiments,but most of them were nice and she didn't want experiments being preformed on them.She had a feeling that they treated them like lab rats,always injecting them with solutions or seeing what the effect of toxins on their demon bodies would do.It sounded cruel and inhumane!

She quickly ran past the door in the hall,waiting until she found the door she had wanted!#450!

She gasped,there was a star on his door.Shippo's door. There should never be a star on Shippo's door! He was too cute! It should be a crime to experiment on something that cute!

"Shippo",she called as she walked in.Her eyes darted around,settling on a fluff ball huddled in the corner.

"Shippo",she said again.

The fluff bore a face as he turned to look at her.

"K-kagome is it true!".

Small tears were trickling down his face.Tears proving that he was scared to death.

"Yes your door has a star",she cooed,scooping him up and cradling him against her body like a mother would a baby.he was a little shocked at first,but loosened up and snuggled up against her shirt.Whimpering.

"Sh c/mon,you''v been through it before! haven't you?".

"Only one time.usually t-they skip over me and do K-kagura instead".

"Who's Kagura?",

"# 100 in the cell next to me".

"I swear these door are numbered stupidly!",she exclaimed.

And that's how the rest of the day went.She went around to all of her experiments,and found that they weren't through labeling the doors yet.

She sighed.Why Shippo? Were all of her other experiments going to be,well,experiments?She hated the thought of it.! But there was nothing she could do,except go back to her dorm room and try to get some sleep.

'Why?',he asked himself,'Why had she bothered?'.

That question had been bothering him for the whole... 20 minuets he had remained conscious that day.

( A/N:the last time he woke up was about 12 hours ago and he been floating in and out of consciousness ever since )

Why the hell had she bothered to take care of him? It didn't make any since.it wasn't like anybody really cared about what happened to him He was an experiment,they had over 10000 others.His death wouldn't even dent the hanyou research anyways.They had # 730 and # 1830. They were both hanyous.

( A/N: #730 is one of kagome's other assignments )

He didn't know them,but he had heard people talking.Not that he ever got out much.Only for check up,physicals,and testing/lab work.That was it.Other than that he was classified as a dangerous hanyou who was prone to violence,and as long as they believed that he wasn't going to do anything to stop them.

He tried to think back,to what might have encouraged that girl to help him!

'Well,let's see, she came in,I smelled her,she tried to touch me,I growled and threatened her the way I do everyone else.She tested my patience,so I attacked her,Naraku used his bazooka and I passed out from and abundance of pain and blood loss.When I woke up,Everything was clean,and her scent was all over the room,her sweet,sweet scent.Wait! what am i thinking! She was practically Kikyos twin!.". ( sigh ) Kikyo",he whispered softly,before passing out again.
