Going in circles

Hello once again. I can guarantee that if you liked the story so far, that you'll love this chapter. If you don't then that's your problem, not mine.

To Lightning/Wolf Demon: Yes, I've read the book, and it's my absolute Favorite book of all time. I couldn't help but put a few things in my story right after I finished the book. And all I can tell you about who's the father, is to keep guessing.

Chapter 7: Worshiping from Afar

Tam Lin escorted the ladies to their rooms. Neither of them had any idea of what was going to happen to them. Both of them were scared and lonely even though they had each other.

Luckily Both Kagome and Sango had shared a room with no one else. Tam Lin pushed them into their room harshly and didn't say a word to them. He locked the door from the outside and left. They were trapped.

:What do we do know? Just sit here until someone takes you or me to get tested on?: Sango said with fear and depression.

:God, I hope not…: she said the same way.

Both of them had nothing to say to each other. They were both caught up in their own thought of the future. Kagome looked around the room for the first time and saw that everything was a dark blue. Somehow she imagined it to be all white. Just like in the mental institutions.

There was one small window near the top of the low ceiling. It was the only light in the room. There was sunlight pouring through it hitting one of the beds that was against the back wall. The other bed was parallel with it on the front wall. There was a bathroom across from the doorway. Kagome got up to go inside the bathroom to see it.

As soon as she entered it she noticed the extreme contrast of color, everything was puke yellow, that made Kagome want to vomit herself.

There was a shower, with no bathtub; there was a sink with no mirror, and a toilet without a lid. It was a really crappy, but what do you expect when you're just rats. At least they didn't have to go in the corner.

Kagome exited the bathroom without a door to see Sango on her bed crying into her pillow. Kagome wanted to comfort her badly, but it was hard when you felt exactly the same way, if not, worse. And frankly, Kagome just didn't care anymore.

'I give up; maybe I just wasn't meant to be a free person. It hurts. Everything hurts. Being here, I'm achy and I'm light headed. Maybe I should just go to sleep. It wouldn't hurt would it? Besides, I don't think it really matters if I go to sleep, as long as it gets me away from this world.'

Kagome lied down and as soon as her head hit the pillow she was asleep. Soon after her, Sango too, fell asleep.

Kagome awoke when it was dark out. She noticed right away that Sango wasn't snoring. She wanted to talk to Sango so badly. She knew that Sango couldn't see kagome in the dark, so it would be pointless to try to use sign language.

Kagome was nowhere near tired anymore and couldn't get back to sleep. She decided to get up and stare out her doorway window to see if there was any commotion going on. she lazily got up and slowly made her way to the door. She blinked to adjust her eyes to the hallway light.

She saw random people being carried or dragged down the hallway. But one person in particular caught her eyes. He had the most gorgeous black hair she had ever seen. He was looking her way and she could see sharp purple intelligent eyes. Kagome's eyes widened. It was like she was looking at something so majestic that she was incapable of ever getting closer to him than looking at him from afar.

Kagome's heart pounded in her chest as he passed. She blinked, and just like that, he was gone, never to be seen again. Kagome closed her eyes for awhile, trying to remember the strange man that Kagome had just seen. She remembered his eyes the most, so soulful, and sad, intelligent and yet trapped, toughness and weakness. She could tell just from the few seconds of seeing him, that he wanted help. She felt so sorry for whomever he was.

She shivered. It was cold inside the room and all of sudden now, she was extremely tired. She got back under the thing covers of her bed near the window. She saw the little moonlight of the crescent in the night sky, over where her stomach was. She drifted into a light sleep.

There were people coming in to their room. Sango awoke and Kagome lied still. She sensed that the people were coming in to release them from the prison. Kagome's eyes were still closed when she heard protests coming from Sango. A deep voice whispered something to the other. After a few short moments of Sango's protests Kagome heard a soft thud and then no more noises from anyone.

Kagome thought that whoever was in the room was going to take her to where Sango was going also, but Kagome was never even touched. She heard the door click and lock. She was left in the room all alone.

Kagome cracked her eyes open to see that it was light out, and seemed to be midmorning. She looked at Sango's empty bed and felt a pang in her heart. She was deeply concerned for her friend. She was also scared for both her and herself.

Kagome wanted to cry, but no tears seemed to come. She felt that she had every negative feeling that was know to the human body flowing through her and she couldn't handle it all. She went over to the bathroom and looked at her surroundings. She closed her eyes and tried to remember the bathroom in her old house, which brought up old memories of her family.

'Mom, I miss you, same with Souta and Grandpa. I also miss all my old friends too, even though I was so different from them. Hojo… you were the only person who understood me back in Japan, I love you as much as I miss you…' Kagome thought about all the people who shunned her after accident. Hojo never shunned her; he died in the accident. He was one of the people that Kagome hit.

Kagome covered her mouth when she remembered what she did. The tears were flowing freely and uncontrollably now. Kagome collapsed on the floor now. She was kneeling on her knees with her hands covering her face. And she cried there for hours, crying for all the people she hurt, crying for her family, crying for Sango and especially Hojo, and without realizing it, she cried for the strange man with those sad and majestic eyes.

After hours of crying she fell asleep on the tile floor.

She woke up in her bed the next day feeling depressed and tired. She looked at Sango's bed to see that Sango was in her bed facing the wall. She was too tired to get up and ask Sango where she had been and what had happened to her so she just waited for Sango to get up herself.

After waiting for what seemed like three hours, she got impatient and dragged her body out of bed. Slowly making her way across the medium sized room she tapped Sango on the shoulder. She didn't stir. She tapped harder, nothing. She shook her slightly, still nothing. She was getting very impatient and paranoid. She shook Sango with much strength, and when she didn't wake, kagome could only come up with two possibilities.

She was either knocked out, or… dead. Kagome desperately wished that it was the first one. Kagome turned Sango so that she was facing her. Her eyes were closed. She put her ears close to Sango's mouth. She was quiet to make she what she was hearing was real, Sango's breath.

She was so relived. Her stomach rumbled and she remembered that she hadn't eaten for at least three days. Now that she realized it she was extremely hungry, which is why she was probably so tired. There was obviously no food in the room so she decided to go to sleep for like the millionth time and wait until there was, either that, or death. Whichever came first. At this point she really didn't give a shit as to what happened to her.

Kagome woke up in the middle of the night when Sango got out of her bed. Kagome was happy to see Sango up again, she desperately wanted to talk to Sango about what had happened to her.

:Hey Kagome, you up?: she signed but Kagome could only see just a little.

:Yeah, I'm up, can you see me? it's so dark out since there is no moon tonight.

:I can see you pretty well.: Sango stopped waiting for Kagome to talk.

:Is there anything you need Sango? Or are you just bored because you can't sleep?;

:Just bored: she replied

:Oh, okay: she signed disappointedly.

:So, um what have you been dong these past couple of days?:

:Me?: Kagome questioned. :isn't that what I should be asking you?:

:Yeah, I thought you would ask me sooner or later. Well, I don't remember much of what they did to me. all I can recall is that they gave me some shots. They didn't tell me what was in them. And I remember being really sick for a couple of days. And that was it. When I got better they brought me back here.:

:Who is 'they':

:I haven't the slightest Idea. But these people were always wearing white clothing around me, like a body suit or something, it was awful. It was like I had a disease or something:

Kagome was worried; she didn't think that Sango was telling the whole truth. She was also afraid; whatever happened to Sango could also happen to her. She has been afraid of that ever since Sango had left.

Kagome didn't want to push Sango any further in her short tale, she didn't want to make her upset or anything, even though she felt she was doing something wrong by ignoring it.

:So Sango, you don't seem affected by this at all,. Aren't you scared of what might happen in the future?:

:Not really. If all there are going to do is make us sick for a couple of days at a time, why worry? It's not like they're going to kill us or anything:

:But Sango, don't you see, they're experimenting in us. You might have just gotten off easy with just being sick for a few days. What might be ahead for is could be a million times worse. They're giving us drugs to see what the side effects are. And what if the side effect is death? Don't you give a damn?:

Sango was in tears. :Oh Kagome, you're right, I wasn't just sick for a few days, what they did to me was much worse, just please don't ask what they did, I don't think that I say it out loud just yet,: Kagome moved to comfort her friend by giving her a tight hug and rubbing her back to sooth her. Sango sobbed loudly for awhile and slowly calmed down, and Kagome told her to sleep some more.

Both of them returned to their beds, but Kagome couldn't go to sleep just yet. She was up and wide awake, not realizing that she was thinking about the man that she had seen just the night before.

Something willed her to get up and go look out the window of the door. She looked into the blinding light to see guards going up and down the hallway, making sure that everything was in perfect order.

She wasn't tired and didn't want to go to her bed just yet. She was waiting for something to happen. Something in the back of her mind told her to keep standing there, to keep looking into the blinding light until you saw something so unbelievable. So she kept waiting…

Then she saw him again. Accept this time he was different, but in an amazing way. He had golden eyes that resembled the sun, so bright and clear. His hair was silver, so shiny that it reflected light. He had weird mutations on the top of his that kagome recognized to be dog ears. His mouth opened as he said something to the three body guards that was dragging him along, to reveal a pair of what looked like to be fangs of a wolf.

His eyes were different from the last time she saw him though, instead of that lost wandering person, his eyes now showed anger and hatred, betrayal and confusion, soreness and distrust. Those were not the eyes that Kagome had liked so much.

He bared his fangs and let out a low growl. He shook the guards off of him, and ran. The guards ran after him and that was all Kagome had seen. Still stunned from what she had just seen, she stood there, peering out the window who knows how long.

Kagome once again woke up feeling tired and depressed.

'Isn't sleeping supposed to make you less tired? I haven't felt energetic since they day we came here.' Kagome thought to herself.

She looked over to see Sango in her bed staring back at Kagome.

:Sango? You okay?: she signed.

Sango didn't say anything.

:Sango?: Nothing.

Slightly worried, Kagome got up from her bed and went over to Sango's. she shook her. Sango didn't wake. Once again, Kagome listened for Sango's breath and sure enough, it was there. Sango had just been sleeping with her eyes open. Kagome looked at Sango once more before returning to her bed, her eyes were just open, not blinking, it gave Kagome the creeps. She had never seen Sango sleep with her eyes open before.

Kagome went on to the bathroom. As soon as she walked in, all these dark feeling flew through her, as if she wasn't supposed to be in there. She ignored the feeling, shut the door, and sit down on the tile floor. It was nice to get away of their room for awhile.

Kagome no longer felt scared as to what was going to happened to her. It was like her body said, 'no more, being scared isn't fun anymore, lets try something else.' Kagome was just angry now, angry at Naraku for doing this to her and her friend, but she was mostly angry at herself for letting this happen.

Soon, she was washing her face in the sink, she felt so disgusting for not taking a shower in three days. So that was what she was going to do. She ran the shower. She was so thankful that this place had warm water, it just didn't have any cleaning products.

Xx0xX

After her extremely long shower that lasted until there was no more hot water, she got back in bed, even though she was tired anymore. There wasn't anything to do in the room, accept for sleeping and cleaning. Neither sounded appealing to Kagome.

Kagome looked at Sango once again; she was exactly the same, with her eyes open, fish-like.

Kagome sat on the edge of her bed, just thinking about the past events. She sighed, fear started to creep back in. she thought about how she hadn't eaten since she got here five days ago.

'What if they are seeing how long I can last without food? But why would they? They should already know how long a person can go without food. Wasn't it like seven days or something? but still, I cant help but feel that I'm not supposed to eat.' She didn't really feel like thinking about this anymore so she moved onto a lighter subject, the schizophrenic looking man.

She looked at the sun's rays that were on her legs. It was then, that for the fist time that kagome realized that she could look out of the window by standing on her bed. She got on her bed and stood up to see what the window had to offer.

She found out that she was on the second level looking down upon everything. Outside, everything was beautiful. There were flowers of all kinds and colors. She could see a pond nearby, with trees surrounding it partially. It was a park, for those who were free from the lab, probably the ones who worked there, went to each lunch there. There were tons of people in the park, some on pick-nicks with others. And others were by themselves. But not one of them looked the least bit sad or depressed. They all looked content and happy. Kagome envied them.

She continued to look out the window until it got dark. It was the most entertaining thing to do. She could see the night sky with so many stars. It was so beautiful to her. She loved the sky. It was always where she turned to when she needed some help.

She turned to look at Sango who had her back turned to Kagome. She was getting worried about Sango, she had been asleep all day. Usually, Sango was the most energetic person you'd ever meet. She was clearly a morning person, who didn't exactly love to sleep.

Kagome decided to try to wake Sango again. She went over to her bed and shook her slightly. To her surprise, Sango actually woke up with a questioning stare.

:Oi! What did you wake me up for?!: she signed furiously.

A little shocked, Kagome took a step back, and then laughed. She forgot how rude Sango could be if you woke her up. Kagome was so relived that Sango finally woke up though.

:I'm sorry. It's just that you were sleeping all day, and I was kinda getting worried about you. so please don't be mad:

:Mad? Why would I be mad? Oh never mind, was I really sleeping all day? it doesn't sound anything like me to do such a thing:

:It doesn't matter anymore. I've been waiting for you to get up for so long now. I'm sooooo bored. And hungry, no one has given me anything to eat since I've been here:

Sango didn't respond. Instead she got up to use the bathroom. Kagome heard the trickle of fluid and the toilet flush before Sango reappeared from the bathroom. She stretched.

:Are you still tired?: Kagome questioned.

:Yeah, whatever they gave me has made me awfully tired. I really don't have much energy, but if you want to talk or anything, I'm game: Kagome smiled and nodded. She told Sango about the schizophrenic looking man and how she has a weird fascination with his puppy dog ears. Soon though, Sango had gotten tired and went back to sleep. Kagome had looked at the sky a little more before turning in.

In the middle of the night Kagome was awaken by someone pricking something in her arm. She looked to see a man in a white lab coat. The man motioned to another person behind him, and soon Kagome was being carried down the bright hallway. She was extremely tired and couldn't comprehend what was happening to her. She closed her eyes and went back to sleep on a stranger's shoulder.

She woke up on a metal bed almost completely nude with the exception of her bra and underwear. There were strange people all around her and she panicked. She tried to get up and run but her wrists and ankles were strapped down to the bed. She looked at all the people all around her. They were all staring at her and talking amongst themselves quietly enough so that Kagome couldn't hear.

Her eyes widened when she saw a gigantic needle full of neon yellow liquid. The person holding the needle harshly jammed into her side. She could tell when the liquid was flowing in her body, it stung like acid in her bloodstream. She immediately got hot and lightheaded. She felt nauseous, like she was going to vomit, but didn't. Skin felt like it was on fire and she needed to get out of it.

She could hear the faint beeping of her heart in the background getting faster and faster. The scientists/doctors were in frenzy as they rushed around the hospital room. Those little metal suction cup thingies were placed about Kagome's body and she was given an oxygen mask to breathe out of.

Kagome didn't want to close her eyes in case she fell asleep again. this time she didn't want to miss a thing, she wanted to know what happened to her body. But every moment that passed, it was getting harder and harder for her to keep her eyes open. And soon enough it just wasn't possible anymore, and she closed her eyes.

Right before she fell asleep though, a thought occurred to her, 'I'm dieing. I'm actually dieing,' she fell asleep not knowing if she would be able to wake up again.

End

I know that this chapter was a little confusing so don't bug me about it.

I really only wanted Kagome's story to be about three chapters long, but I can tell that it's going to be much longer than that.

So, did you like this chapter?

By the way, in this story, Inuyasha changes into a demon on the new moon and is normally a human.
