Chapter 8

There,on the door,was a star.The star that marked that he was going in for testing.She didn't know why it affected her this way,but she didn't want him to go there! maybe it had been the sadness and torture she had seen in his eyes on the first day,or the tough exterior he out on to obviously hide or protect something.Himself? But whatever it was that made her feel this way,was what gave her the strength to put her hand to the scanner.She ran through the opening and in through the second,normal door.

But he wasn't there.And then it hit her. A rock. Well,no,not really,but this is the second story I have out that line in I just like it!

But what really hit her,was that that was all of the noise that had been coming from downstairs.She had heard stuff below her when she was with Shippo but it hadn't registered then.She should have known better than to expect that he would go without a fight.So sadly,she went off to see Koga ans Shiori,in hopes that they weren't gone too.

Lucky for her,Koga was waiting in a starless room.He jumped up alert thought when she came in.

"Um... hello Koga",she said,looking at the scared shit less wolf before her.

"Don't worry,I'm not Miroku".

Koga relaxed a little,and leaned back against the wall.

"So,what do you want this time/",he asked.

"Nothing really.The video cam I installed two days ago is measuring you statistics and movements,I'm just going spastic over today.I hate the idea of testing!".

"Did they take any of you're other subjects?",he asked softer.

"Yes two. # 301 and Shippo".

"Heh,well I coulda told you they'd take 301! they always do! he's their main subject in hanyou research,next to #840,and # 730".

"Shiori's a half demon!",Kagome exclaimed,shocked!

"Yeah",Koga replied,"if that's what her name is!".

"Yes",she said,"So have you ever been in the ExL before?",Kagome asked.

( A/N:that's experiment lab for those of you who don't remember! )

"Once,that's where I learned about #301 a little,I was just a pup, he's two years older than me,so he must have been about six.I was four. I don't remember much,but he was saying something about him not being a number,his name being Inuyasha or something.Even for a four year old the repetition was deathly annoying.I was so happy when they began the injection!for him,not me. Apparently they were just as annoyed by him as I was cause they injected him in the throat.didn't hear a peep outa him for two months".

Kagome looked at him.So his name was Inuyasha.She was right,he had been here a long time.

"So,what are they gonna do!",she asked.

"i dunno,probably test his demonic healing ability by pushing it to it's limits".

She didn't fully understand that,but it didn't sound good.So dismissing the subject,she left off to Shiori's room.

Shiori was actually happy to see her this time.They talked and played,until it was time for Kagome to leave.

Kagome flopped into her couch.

"Ugh,today was exhausting",she moaned. She hoped for some rest,but instead,the ever popular flicker and beep of the video phone.

"And to think I dreamed of having one of these",she groaned,looking up.She was relived to see Sango staring down at her.

"Sango!",she exclaimed,"It's great to see you how much do you know? What do you want? reverse order!".

"um... okay",Sango said,trying to figure out what Kagome had said.

"Well,All of the experiments are back in their rooms,and I hear that you got a visit from the boss".

"You meen that was.."

"Yep,Naraku".

"Bastard".

"Wadid ( not spelled wrong! ) he do ?".

"Nothing at all really,he just is!".

"Understood".

"Hey,wanna come over later?".

"If I have time,what's your room #?"

"Don't have one,live in the office dorms".

"Um... okay,".

"I'll call and come over to your place to bring a map and eat pizza and stuff?",Sango asked hopefully.

"Sure,later".

"Later".

Kagome looked at the screen.

"Office dorms,oh whatever Shippo's back!".

And with that she rocketed into his room.

"Shippo",she called.

"Over here Kagome-eh oooh ah ah ",he mumbled.

"Um,Shippo what're you doing Kagome asked as the fox lept into her arms.

"They gave me this weird shot that makes me red and itchy",Shippo explained.

She looked more closely,to see that beneath all of his layers of fur,there were small red bumps.

"Shippo,are you running a fever?",she asked.

"Ummm.I don't think so,demons don't get viruses!".he began to laugh as if it were the funniest thing in the world.

Kagome decided against arguing with him,but he was right,his skin wasn't hot,it was just chicken pox infested.So she just told him to not scratch,got him some itch cream from upstairs,along with the crayons she had promised him a couple days ago and forgot.She said goodbye and left to check on Inuyasha.Why she even bothered she did not know,but it was her job.

"Inuyasha",she called softly as she opened the second door.He was there,but he didn't seem to be awake.

"Inuyasha",Kagome whispered stepping forward. He wasn't moving.What was wrong?What had they done to him?she knelt down bedsides 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 till he awoke.if he awoke.

Kagome didn't like the looks of this.What kinda injections had they given him anyways?She would have to ask someone.maybe Miroku,or heck even Koga.He seemed to know alotta stuff about Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha",she whispered again.Again he twitched.His ears would meekly swivel.

She put her hand over his forehead,and found that unlike full demons,if injected with the right stuff,half demon could get sick.But the question was how sick.She took a rag out of her bag,running it across his fore head.She looked at the sink in the corner ( yes they have a sink!) and ran the rag under the water,well it took a couple on rolls of tape and some handiwork on the pipe,but eventually it went from mud to water!Then she place it on his head and sat down.

(A/N: each of their rooms have a sink and a small bed in the corner,well it is cot like but still ! )

( he is on the cot )

His ears twitched,swiveled again.Those ears were sooo cute!She just had to touch them. So she reached out and held one in her fingers.It was soft and silky and smooth.But it reacted immediately.The second she touched it,it slapped itself and it counterpart to the back of his head.They were like their own little creatures.But she wouldn't let that stop her.She reached out to the frighted ear and rubbed at it some more.

Inuyyasha's P.O.V.

What the hell is going on.Damn that doctor making me so sick.I dunno,I'm kinda awake,but I'm not awake,but why is that girl back. ( sniff sniff ) she smells good.I won't deny it,she does small good,but i thought Kikyo smelled good to.She's probably a bitch like everyone else.

Hey,whys she actually taking care of me again.Why does she keep doing that!Why the hell does she even care.

HEY! nobody touches my ears.The last person to touch them seriously hurt them.

flashback

"Number 301",Kikyo said as she entered the room.He was 13 and she was 15 ( I'm making her two years older than him! ) It was her first day on the job,and it' didn't help that he already didn't like this place at all,and had sworn to make it hell for whoever got him.He had made that promise when was 10 and had done a good job of keeping it.So far he had killed a maid and three caretakers! That was a pretty good accomplishment!

"Yeah",he smirked rebelliously,"Wadda you want bitch?".

She glared at him coldly.

"I want respect and for you to make my first day of work quick and painless".

He just kept smirking as if he planned to kill her,and in all honestly,if she didn't walk the line he would.

His last caretaker had learned,she however was number three.

He laid back and watched here.

"Well,get up,do something,don't just be a lazy bum you stupid hanyou",Kikyo snapped,"I'm not getting paid to fall asleep!".

Well,he didn't like that at all!He lunged,and got a first hand experience of her miko powers.He didn't like those either.They nearly blew his freakin head off.

"What the hell!",he yelled as he stumbled to his feet.

"They are miko powers.Don't mess with me and allow me to do what I please,unless you wish for more of the same".

Inuyasha didn't do anything,again.

"And tell me bitch,what is it that you plan to do?Bitch".

Kikyo didn't like the lack of respect,and being the bitch that she is,she settled on revenge.

"Your ears,I wish to touch them.Nothing more but touch them",and then without waiting for a response, she reached out and touched them,felt them in all of their silky smoothness,and then... yanked on them as hard as she could while emitting a large,powerful amount of Miko energy from the same hands.

You can guess the rest !

end flashback

But that doesn't change anything! Hey girl Stop!...hey... that. feels...kinda...

( falls asleep while unconscious )

Kagome watched as his ears un-tensed and relaxed and pointed up again,actually kinda bending toward her touch.She laughed as they swiveled again. They were SOOOOO CUTE !

She laughed a little more,and then satisfied that he was going to live,went off to meet Sango.

Hey ppl! I decided,i'v given you too many cliff hangers so i'm gonna give you some okay endings! later!

but really! see how nice I am!

R&R and tell me how nice I am!
