Chapter 7

Kagome sighed. today was the day.Today was experiment,the day she,and poor little Shippo,had been scared to death of!.But then,that was also the reason why she was running down the hallway of the experiment rooms at two in the morning.She had been hoping to spend a little time with Shippo before he was tested on.I mean,what if they did some fatal experiment on him! She shudders at the thought.

"Shippo",she called in through the door.The Small kitsune was in his previous position,a small fluff ball huddled up in the corner shaking.

"Shippo",she called again after a yawn.

"Kagome!",he exclaimed,turning around and launching himself into Kagome's arms.He cuddled up into her chest and cried.

"Shippo",she cooed gently,placing one hand on his back comfortingly,"Don't worry I'm sure they won't do anything to bad to you".

She knew it was lame for a spirit-lifter but she couldn't tell him ' they won't hurt you', or,' nothing bad will happen'. Those were her particular favorites,along with some others,but they weren't true in his case.But she didn't say anything like that.There was nothing to say.So she just rocked him quietly,until there was a loud banging on the locked door.

Kagome turned to see who was there.It was ,surprisingly,The man in purple robes,Miroku!

"Miroku!",she exclaimed,jumping upon surprise.

"Kagome!".

"Miroku,what're you doing here!".

Miroku looked at the ground.

"I trust Sango's informed you of experiment testing day,or, just 'the day',as it's most commonly refereed to",he asked solemnly.

"Yes",she said in a small voice.She didn't like where this was leading.Not that she knew where it was leading but anything with 'The Day',was bad!

"Well,you see,as head of the human to demon transfers,sector 4,I am the one in charge of gathering the test subjects when it is there time to go to the lab".

Kagome was shocked.Miroku had seemed so nice,how could he bring them to their torture! Did he preform the experiments! Her own mind was being over-taxed with questions.

"Do you know when Shippo'l be back?",she asked,clinging to the child as if he were her own.Over the past few days,she had grown to love the sweet Little kid.She had also made friends with Shiori,but that was getting off topic!

"Yes",Miroku replied a little bit brighter,"He'll be back by tonight seeing as everything goes alright".

Kagome didn't like the way that sounded.What if everything didn't go alright,what would happen then!

"What are they doing to him!",she asked/yelled!

She was backed into the corner,clutch-hing Shippo who had a tight hold on her shirt.He was trembling against her and it made her heart melt to see this little boy who should have been jumping around in a chipper fashion,pressed against her body in fear.

"I'm sorry Lady Kagome,but I don't know.The experiments that go on in that room are strictly confidential.Only a select few personal are allowed inside that room,or even to know what's going on.I'm sorry".

Kagome sighed.How was she supposed to let him take this sweet little boy.He didn't deserve this.

"Kagome,give me Shippo",Miroku said firmly but softly,"It's mandatory that he is taken to the lab".

Kagome looked at the child in her grasp.

"Kagome",Miroku said firmly,"I need the boy.I promise everything will go fine it always does.never has an experiment failed Shippo.Besides,I managed to gather a little information from Lady Kaugra and the experiment is minor.Now may I have the boy".

"Shippo.I'm sorry,but I have to.But I will be here for when you get back",she sighed,handing the whimpering fox-boy over to the monk.

"Ummm.Miroku",she asked,"Who is Lady Kagura?".

"One of Naraku's head staff.She is one of the ones who preforms the experiments on them,which means she has access to the lab".

"Is she nice?",Kagome asked hopefully.If Kagura was nice,then maybe things wouldn't be so terrible.But Miroku just shook his head no.

"Good-day Lady Kagome",Miroku said,before turning and leaving her in the empty,cold,hall.

Kagome looked at the phone.What could she do?She needed to talk to someone .She needed to get her mind off of Shippo. And then,she heard the relieving beeping sound before her whole living room wall turned into the two way video phone.

"Hey Sango",she said,not turning around.But Sango never said anything.Instead she was met by an icy,evil voice.

"Higurashi",the voice was unusually calm but yet sounded pissed at the same time.She turned to look at a long,black haired, man. She didn't''t recognize him,but the voice was familiar.She had heard the voice before.It was the voice from the front gate.

"What sir?",she asked.She didn't know why,but she felt that she should at least fake respect.After all,if he was important enough to use the video phone,he must be important.

"Well",he hissed,"At least you have manners.Now go to work,it appearers that you have forgotten a few experiments".

His voice chilled her to the bone.The hissing sound burning her ears.

"Y-yes sir! i-i'l get to those right away!".

She hadn't noticed before,but in all of her worry about Shippo,she had forgotten the other experiments.She mentally slapped herself.She couldn't let her worry for one,keep her away from the other three! It was practically playing favorites and that was something that she would never do!

"As you should.STOP STUTTERING!",he yelled from nowhere.

She flinched at the harshness of his voice.It made her blood boil,once you got past the fear.She was scared of him,yes,but she didn't like being yelled at like people were better that her.It was degrading!

She remembered something Shippo had said when she first met him.That here,stuttering was dis-respectful.

She looked up to apologize to him,but her window had been restored to it's transparent state.

So with that,she ran over to her desk to grab her things,and left to see about her other subjects.

She looked at the door again.It had been a while,a few days,since she had been here.The door to #301's room looked as empty and cold as always.So un-inviting.She tried to think about if # 301 even had a room.She imagined he did.But he was always in the solitary confinement room.All dark,except for when he rarely had power.

Yes it seemed the more she learned the more confused she became.So far she had figured out the following :

Inuyasha was one of their earlier experiments that she figured they had ,had since he was about three( if her guesses on his age were right ) ands he was only half-demon.

He lived in this labratory that preformed illegal experiments like 'HT D's' which were human to demon transfers for you who don't remember! and they preformed experiments on their experiments! She imagined it was like injecting them with stuff to see their reaction.There was this Kikyo woman who was supposed to be this really big BITCH! and this evil man named Naraku and this not nice woman name Kagura who preformed the experiments on them and ... things were too confusing that was the most she could figure out.She needed to sleep, on it.

But first she had to check up on # 301. But when she got to the inside doors she saw something,she really didn't want to see!

What did Kagome see? yes fear the raph of my cliff hanger! you don't get to kno yet! wahahahahahahah!sry. R&R and my chappies will come quicker.But while you wait... here's a preview of what's to come...

"Inuyasha",Kagome whispered,stepping forward.He wasn't moving. What was wrong ? What had they done to him? She knelt down besides him,as she heard a small moan escape his lips.His breathing was light and shaky.His eyelids twitched as he started to stir,but he didn't.He couldn't.She didn't even think he knew she was there.If he did,he probably wouldn't like it.But he was in bad shape.She didn't want to leave him,and so she decided,whether he liked it or not,she would stay here until he awoke.If he awoke!
