AN- I missed updating, I haven't done it in such a long time!! I'm at 99 onguys! .

I just watched the 3rd Inuyasha movie...he's sooo adorable as a baby. I love seeing him when he's younger…and Sesshomaru as a teenager growls seductively..but not really, I'm not into sesshomaru. Most of the time I forget he only has one arm…then I remember and I laugh.

Oh yeah…the last chapter was probably confusing…I'll explain. So the whole last chapter was a flashback when he's like 13, he's sitting at the park and remembering the events up till the where he is now, where he's taken. And then there was this quick little blurb in naraku's point of view, but it's not terribly important. If you have anymore questions please ask, I hate to be confusing!

And this whole chapter is a flashback too

Chapter 13- Freak House

The tough leather chairs didn't look inviting, but nothing looked very inviting lately so he slid in.

The man took Inuyasha to his house and tried to talk to him. When Inuyasha wouldn't utter a word, the man finally called the police to pick him up, grumbling that he was only in it for the reward money anyway.

"Have you ever been in one of these squad cars, champ?"

He was freakin' thirteen…

"Well don't you worry, we just called your brother and he'll be the—"

"Half brother."

"Er---yeah."

The rest of the drive was quiet.

The policeman ushered Inuyasha through the waiting room and in a conference room.

At the sight of the white haired boy everyone looked relieved. He disappeared in the responsibility of the police, and the Force was criticized enough as it was.

As he entered the conference room he saw Sesshomaru, and a roomful of people. Everyone else in the room waited, expecting a heartfelt reunion.

Inuyasha calmly took a seat in one of the chairs, not giving Sesshomaru a second glance.

"Erm…well…where to begin?"

A nice looking lady smiled at Inuyasha, "What have you been doing these past months?"

Inuyasha chose to stay silent…what could he say?

There was an awkward silence.

The Police Chief sighed exasperatedly. He didn't want to spend any more time on this case, and the two brothers didn't seem to want be here either.

"Here's the deal. In your mother's will, she left you the house and all her belongings, but you can't live alone without a par—I mean…a guardian. Sesshomaru has volunteered to live with you in her house until you're eighteen. Either that, or your house will be auctioned off, and you'll live in foster care."

Inuyasha's fist clenched at the thought of Sesshomaru in his mother's house…but his teeth ground out at the thought of it in the hands of a stranger.

"I'll go with Sesshomaru."

"Ok, so you'll need to sign these…" they finished all the legal arrangements.

The police chief knew that this case shouldn't have ended so simply, but that older brother intimidated him. He was glad to see them leave, as was everyone at the station.

----

He was in his old home. His room was as he left it. He couldn't sleep.

Slowly his hands and legs began to twitch uncontrollably. He wanted something. Needed something.

Sesshomaru had told him not to leave the house, but his words were all but air holding him back. He didn't want to leave; he had to. He had to go back to Naraku, beg for forgiveness, and inhale.

He jumped out of his window, but before he hit the ground a light flashed on him.

"I thought so." Sesshomaru walked forward with a flashlight.

----

"He'll have to go into a rehab center for quite a while. The toxins in his body have taken over. Usually I'd recommend two to three years, but being half-demon, I think nine months should suffice."

"I see. Could you call the state rehabilitation center and send over his files."

"Of course, Sesshomaru."

Inuyasha was barely listening to the conversation in front of him. His head ringed with frustration. They had to put him in a straight jacket. He needed to go to Naraku. Naraku had what he needed…na—

"I see the sedatives worked."

----

Blue. It smelt like…like nothing at all. So much blue.

He stood up in the crunchy bed. Everything was unfamiliar. He felt very weak.

I boisterous lady passed the door, and looked startled.

"I see you're awake already. Well, I'm quite busy now, but I'll be back soon and show you around!"

Wherever he was, he didn't like it much. He waited until the hall was empty and winded through halls and stairs. He finally found it. The entrance, or for him, the exit. He sprinted through the doors.

The fresh air felt nice. Now all was left were the gates. They would be easy, one small leap. And he was out!

Now. Where to---ahhhhhh!

An a jolt of pain shot through his spine. What was happe---ahh!!

He felt weaker then ever.

He fell to his knees. A shadow fell upon him.

"I see you found out about our elec-chips the hard way. Pity."

----

A soon as he went back through the gates he felt better.

"This facility has been up for 27 years, we can handle almost anything. The next time you try a stunt like that it'll be ten times worse."

"I guess trust is out of the question."

"Inuyasha is it? Well, you're in here for nine months weather you like it or not. They call me Cookie. We have meals at strictly seven-thirty, twelve, and six-thirty. If you're late there will be nothing for you. Group is on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Tuesday and Thursday are activities. Individual evaluation is every Saturday. Sunday is a day of rest, as it should be."

Inuyasha processed little information. Everything in this building was blue. It made him sick.

They made it back to his room. Inuyasha dropped back in the starchy sheets.

----

Inuyasha woke up. He looked out the window to see the sun sinking below the hills. His stomach growled. He was starved.

That lady told him that dinner was at 6:30. He followed the scent of slightly burnt macaroni and cheese. He entered the door to the cafeteria. He lazily picked up a tray and went down the aisle, but the serving ladies were putting everything away.

"Umm…could I have food?"

"You're late."

That was not what Inuyasha wanted to hear. He crumpled his tray and flung it at the wall in a roar.

This didn't bother any of the ladies as they kept on putting everything away. He was ravenous. He hadn't eaten since yesterday morning.

Inuyasha whirled around, and everyone put their heads down concentrating on their food.

He didn't want to go back to his room. He felt trapped. The cafeteria returned to conversation.

"You can have my food."

Inuyasha stared down at the timid girl pushing her plate forward. Her wrists were tiny and her face pale.

"uh…that's ok. You better eat. You look like you're going to collapse any second."

She tried not to be taken aback, "I'm not going to eat it anyway, and if I do I'll just…it won't be any use to me."

The steaming plate did look tempting, but it didn't feel very right.

"I can wait until tomorrow."

The girl look disappointed as she started to spread around her food, a trick her sister taught her when she was little, when she didn't want to eat her peas.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"How about I eat half, and you can eat the other half."

"Ok!"

"but you have to promise not to throw it all up."

The girl frowned, "fine.."

----

Tomorrow was Sunday, according to the teddy bear calendar they hung in his room. It read, "Friends make hugs!" and had a purple bear hugging a fire hydrant.

The lady told him that he wouldn't have to do anything on Sunday, unless he wanted to go to church. The last time he went to church the priest told the whole congregation that all hanyous and youkais were going to burn in hell, so he would gladly skip that.

He wasn't very tired. He slept all day. They never said anything about a curfew…

His hands were still shaking, and his brain still constantly thinking of what Naraku could give him. He pulled out the pamphlet Cookie gave him and opened it to a map. The center was actually pretty big, like a mini community.

He strolled the halls. And stopped in front of 'work-out room'. He tried the door. Locked. He pulled a pin from his pocket; he learned some things from Naraku.

He flicked the lights on. And smiled at the sight. There were punching bags, mats, weights, and pull-up bars…

Two and a half hours later Inuyasha breathed heavily on a bench. It felt good to burn off energy. He slowly made his way back to his room…he didn't want to be late for breakfast.

He stared down at his hand. It lay still.

----

Sunday and Monday morning went by slowly. Inuyasha watched TV and worked-out. Not that many other people exercised much, there was this weird kid that was always lifting the two pound pink weights, but other than that no one went in the work-out room.

He tried to avoid the other people there. They had their own problems to be wrapped in, but it was nice in a way. Like, it was understood that everyone gave everyone else invisible support.

It was hard though. He constantly yearned for drugs. On Sunday he went mad a total of three times. There weren't many people who worked there, mainly because it was a state facility and mostly voluntary. But it gave everyone else more freedoms.

"Inuyasha?"

"What."

"Have you forgotten. Monday is group therapy."

"I'm not going."

"No dinner for you then…we're having ramen tonight."

He now regretted requesting ramen every meal now…they already knew his weaknesses.

"You're in room 3."

----

He opened the door to see everyone sitting in a circle.

"Ah, Inuyasha, came to join us? Well don't worry about being late, we're still waiting for one more person anyway."

He sat down.

"Well, why don't you introduce yourself to the group."

"I'm Inuyasha."

"And where did you come from?"

"My room."

"I mean, how did you come about."

"My mother's womb."

"uh…nevermind."

The door opened and in came a girl with long sleeves.

"So glad you can make it. You must work on coming on time eh?"

The girl gave a small smile and took a seat.

----

Was she? No…it couldn't be. Unless she was…

"Are you ok Inuyasha? You look a tad bit pale if I say so myself."

"I'm fine." He couldn't stop looking at her.

They talked about goals for an hour. Inuyasha wasn't paying attention.

Every time the moderator asked the girl a question she just shrugged. She never talked. She didn't acknowledge anyone in the room.

"I felt like we made much progress. Think about what we've talking about. You're dismissed to dinner now."

Everyone collected their things and started out the hall. The girl quickly disappeared in the crowd.

Inuyasha struggled to catch up with her. He needed to know.

He saw her turn into a room. He got there, and saw her.

"Kikyou?"

The girl turned to face him and stared.

Inuyasha felt stupid. It couldn't be… It was impossible. He started to turn.

"You better hurry to dinner, they're serving ramen…Inuyasha."
