Yes, poor Kagome last chapter was severely scarred, which is why when one of her boyfriends started talking dirty to her during sex, she ended up going to many hours of counselling… but it's ok, because that's where she met InuYasha who was attending an Anger Management Program… hmmm, a possible idea? Definitely!
-
"…it's really unfair, I mean I'm not disabled, just… mentally… disturbed… yeah…" Kagome raged on the squishy sofa in her counsellor's office.
"Uh-hn, and why do you feel this way?" her shrink questioned.
"Because Mama won't let me do anything anymore, neither will my brother or my Grandfather, not that he can do much nowadays anyway… I just feel like they're patronising me! I'm a grown woman! I can do things for myself." Kagome fumed, using hand actions to emphasise her point.
"And you still live with your mother?"
Kagome eye narrowed dangerously as she sat up and faced the shrink.
i Who does this bitch… /i
"Are you implying that I'm too helpless to live on my own?" Her eyebrow was now twitching violently.
"Just because I'm 28 and still living with my mother does not mean a thing! I'm independent! I am! I can do things for myself. Well I want to, but people won't let me!... AARRRGGGGGGHHHHH!" the girl screamed, fists clenched into a shaky ball.
"Uh-hn, and how does that make you feel?" the shrink continued to doodle away on her pad.
i How does that make me feel? How does that make me feel! /i
"ANNGRYYYYYYYY! Is how it makes me bloody feel!"
The shrink looked up, caught off guard by the yelling, she hadn't been listening but found an opening to shrug Kagome off onto someone else.
"Uh-hn, I think you're feeling some pent up rage… I think a visit to anger management is in order, ok Kagome?" she light-heartedly chirped.
"Hmm? Oh ok, if you really think so." Kagome smiled at the woman, delighted at the prospect of meeting new people, as she got up and skipped out to reception to pay for her visit.
i Maybe a look into bi-polar could be useful as well… /i The shrink muttered.
u Later that evening… /u
Kagome had arrived a bit early in order to meet her new group leader.
"Good evening, my name is Miroku, I'll be leading this discussion tonight, now before we can start there are a few ground rules; we leave everything outside but our anger, we do not discuss your personal matters unless it is directly linked to your anger, when mentioning friends and family members please refer to them as a title or a pseudo name, do not mention your family name either, and listen to other people, when they speak, it is only respectful. Is that alright Kagome?"
Kagome nodded, the man sounded nice. They entered and sat down in a circle with the other five members.
"Now group, this week we have a new member, we all know what it is like being new, so we must all show her our full support in welcoming her. I would like you all to go through introductions, and Kagome you will go last. InuYasha would you please start…"
Kagome looked expectantly at the man with long black hair.
"Yeah, yeah…" He mumbled under his breath, then sighed, "Hi, I'm InuYasha, I'm here because of my anger and frustration with my older brother…" he delivered in a very bored and reluctant manner.
Next was a pretty young woman with pale skin and drawn back long black hair, whom Kagome thought looked like her a little bit. "Good evening, Kagome, I am Kikyo and I am here because my boyfriend does not appreciate me."
"I thought he was your ex," InuYasha cut in.
A glare from the woman, silenced him and he turned back rolling his eyes to the heavens.
"I must apologise for this heathen's behaviour," Kikyo said to Kagome.
The next person was a beautiful but vicious looking woman with a bun on her head, "I'm Kagura, and I'm here cause of my asshole Father."
Next to her sat a man with a bag on his head, from out of the two eye-holes, Kagome could see two brilliant blue eyes.
"Ahem", he cleared his throat, "I am Touga, and I am here because I'm angry that people keep trying to undermine my authority, and it is a pleasure to meet you, Kagome" his voice trailed of in what she supposed was a would-be sexy manner, and one could hear InuYasha retching in the background.
"Why don't ya take that stupid bag of your head and show her what you look like idiot," InuYasha helpfully threw in.
"Now, now," Miroku interjected, "Touga has the right to hide his identity from you all, just as you all have."
"…he's nothing but a wuss…" InuYasha mumbled loud enough to be heard.
Miroku sighed, "Now, Sango, you next please…"
"Hello, my name is Sango, and I have frustrations with men."
Miroku mumbled something under his breath and InuYasha barked a laugh. Sango glared menacingly at both of them.
Kagome laughed nervously. i These people are all Freaks… /i
"Um, hi, I'm Kagome, and I'm here because my shrink told me to come."
"Kagome, please tell us what the source of your frustration is…" Miroku calmly corrected.
"Oh, umm well, people treat me like I'm stupid-"
"Probably cause you are." InuYasha interrupted only to be glared at by the other six people in the room and hit on the arm by Kikyo.
"Kagome, please continue." Miroku said whilst keeping his glare on InuYasha who just let out a "Keh" and folded his arms.
i What the hell is Keh supposed to mean? /i Kagome wondered to herself.
"As I was saying, people always try to do things for me, like I'm some little girl unable to do things myself. I can do things for myself. I really can!"
Miroku nodded. "Very good Kagome, now lets find out how you all did this week, we'll go backwards this time, Sango."
Sango stood up this time, "Well, I got on the Underground on Wednesday, I was off Monday and Tuesday, and 'He' was there, like always," The entire group nodded except for Kagome who hadn't a clue, "well, he rubbed off my butt a few times, and I counted to ten, and I did good for a while, until he decided to all out grope my butt, and I slapped him, slapped him so hard I'm sure he's still unconscious!" she was red faced and shaking.
"I just wanna, I just wanna push him off a cliff and smash his legs up until he's invalid! Then let him bleed to death!" she finished with a hiss.
Miroku sat there shocked for a second before regaining his composure, "Now lets all give Sango applause in support for doing better this week, she actually managed to vent, without hurting InuYasha, Touga or myself, well done Sango, well done." They all clapped.
i Without hurting anyone… dear god…, /i Kagome thought.
Sango sat down and Touga stood up readjusting the paper bag on his head.
"This week I was in a meeting and I suggested we get a grant of the government to help with the expenses, but Hinta and Gakkaku, went against my judgements as usual, I did it anyway, but they always have to go against anything I say and moan and whine and complain when they follow, I finally had enough of it and I cut their pay-checks!" he ended triumphantly and plopped down in his chair again.
Miroku shook his head, "Touga that is not the way we do things is it? The problem is ourselves and we must work it out. Have you ever stopped to consider why they question your judgement? Do you think through your decisions enough?"
InuYasha snorted, "yeah stupid, ever use that lump of mush to think before? Does it hurt?"
"Shut up ya smelly mutt!" Touga shouted back.
"Gentlemen please, Touga calm down and InuYasha, you are the last person that should be calling out another's rash decisions, if I recall correctly, you're here because you don't fully think out things yourself."
Miroku signalled for Kagura to go next.
"I was doing ok till yesterday when this utter asshole comes up to me in the hotel and orders me to fetch his bags in the lobby and bring them up to his room. It was just his tone of voice that reminded me of him and I lashed out screaming at him, telling him I'm not his slave anymore, that he doesn't own me, and then he hits me," Kagura pointed at the small black bruise beside her eye, "So I kick him in the nuts, and again in the stomach when he was down. Security came and removed him, I didn't get any blame though cause they couldn't hear anything on the camera's they just seen him hit me."
"Now normally I wouldn't condone this behaviour of violence, but he should not have hit you, and you were indeed trying to defend yourself… possibly, physical violence is never the answer, your advanced enough to know this. This does however bring about some questions, I don't think you are actually over your Fathers abuse yet, I think we need to go back to our weekly sessions Kagura." Miroku sighed, obviously disappointed.
"See, it's his fault, everything is his fault! It's his fault that happened, it's his fault I'm angry, it's his fault I had to drop school, it's his fault my mother's dead, it's his fault I'm like this, it's his fault I'm even alive!"
Kagome felt truly sorry for the girl.
No-one said anything for a few moments and Kikyo rubbed a hand along Kagura's back in a shooting motion, then stood up for her own report.
"This week I caught my boyfriend in bed with another woman. He forgot to give me a key to the new door lock so I had to climb in the bedroom window and found him, and her… she even had the cheek to say he was her fiancé. Such bullshit. I don't know why I put up with him like I do, probably because I love him. That's why I threw a lamp at him. I also ripped off that skimpy nighty she was wearing and locked her in the bathroom. He's my boyfriend. Rightfully that was my nighty the bitch was wearing. I told him not to call me for a week, which he didn't…" the only sign of her anger was the constant clenching and unclenching of her right fist at her side.
Miroku nodded. "I see we are still in denial Kikyo."
"I am not in denial" she retorted. Miroku nodded again.
"He is not my boyfriend, say it with my Kikyo; he is not my boyfriend anymore." Miroku chanted.
Kikyo just raised her eyebrow, "of course he's not your boyfriend, he's mine, unless he's been cheating on me with you!"
Miroku held up his hands in a pacifying manner, "rest assured Kikyo, I do not swing that way."
She only eyed him warily as he moved on to InuYasha.
He lazily dragged himself up to a standing position; he had the most disinterested face Kagome had ever seen on a person.
"Sesshomaru was the biggest-"
"InuYasha, pseudo name please," Miroku interrupted.
"Why bother everyone knows who he is, he's in the fucking meeting after this one," he sighed, "fine, Sesshomari, that better?" he asked. Everyone else giggled.
"No, not really," poor Miroku looked pained. This guy was obviously a giant thorn in the man's side. Miroku waved him on; stalling only prolonged the pain InuYasha's whining caused.
"Whatever… anyway he was going on about me being haffu again, which really pissed me off, because it's more common nowadays, he's just talking complete crap trying to rile me up."
"I'm glad you've come to realise that InuYasha, how did you react to it?" Miroku was suddenly very interested, it wasn't very often InuYasha had a revelation.
"I just told him to fuck up and told him he was being deported next week for being so fucking ugly, I'm over it, he doesn't matter anymore, I think I'm cured, can I go now?"
Miroku sighed, he knew his narcissist brother would be very pissy next meeting, and his rage was a lot scarier than InuYasha's. "No InuYasha you're not cured, you still get angry at everything else when it doesn't do what you want… you're here for the long haul… unfortunately…"
InuYasha's head snapped up and an evil glare was shot at the shrink. "What did you say bozo?"
"Kagome, your turn, what we usually do is-"
"Oi, don't ignore me!" InuYasha yelled.
"Shut up!" Kagome yelled from out of nowhere.
"This is my time, and you listen good, I listened to your whining so you listen to mine, got that!"
"Suck my cock wench; I'm dealing with him first, then your little boney hiney…"
i Suck his cock… hmph… /i
"I'll show you what I can do!" Kagome yelled as she lunged for InuYasha, knocking them both backwards in his chair.
InuYasha squawked desperately whilst trying to prevent his trousers from being ripped open. i Bitch is crazy! /i
"I'll show you, I'll show everyone, I can do it!" Kagome laughed manically.
"Get her offa me!" InuYasha squealed, he'd never been tackled by a girl before and was very close to hurting her.
She was plucked off InuYasha by Touga, who subsequently lost his bag to her furious swiping and clawing.
The women just say by idly, knowing InuYasha got what he deserved, and Miroku, just flipped through her file.
i Dependancy problems, uh-hn… /i
"Kagome, I'm going to go ahead and sign you up to the nympho's anon group, which I also lead, ok…" Miroku nonchalantly informed her.
Kagome was still struggling in Touga's grip.
Miroku looked up, "Oh my, I see you're a very angry bunny, that won't do, come everyone, and let us do our happy chant."
'Touga' dropped Kagome back into her own chair and resumed his own seat.
Everyone joined hands and closed their eyes despite their mumbled protest.
Together they chanted, Miroku being the only enthusiastic one.
"Fluffy bunnies… fluffy bunnies… the stars at night… the stars at night… fuzzy kittens… fuzzy kittens… Gran Tourismo… Gran Tourismo… soft, warm, bed… soft, warm, bed… Kagome, since your new I would like to ask you to add something, something that makes you happy, warm and fuzzy inside, and most importantly calms you…"
i Calms me? /i
"Killing InuYasha… killing InuYasha, now I'm very calm…" Kagome sighed mentally feeling the fuzzies.
"Oi!"
Miroku slapped InuYasha across the back of his head, "No Kagome, as much as we would all like that, we need something less criminal."
"Oh, ok… hot baths… mmmm…"
"Again now, fluffy bunnies… alright very good group, Kagome we say that every time someone makes us angry, visualise these things and make yourself calm down…"
"Or else you could finger yourself, horny bitch…" InuYasha muttered.
Instantly Sango leapt at InuYasha, and everyone silently left the room as she dislocated his arm, making sure there was no-one left to witness his murder, leaving him to suffer alone and to regret the day he ever learned to talk.
Three weeks later he was deemed well enough to return to the meetings.
-
Haffu is half Japanese, which technically InuYasha is…
-
u A/N: /u
It started off such good idea, and derailed itself somewhere around where Miroku introduced himself… I think I left too long a period for breaks… I apologise.
And I apologise again, because this doesn't fit in with the collection either… am I even doing the right thing by posting it? Please be honest, the damage can be reversed.
-
Wow, that was really long no? and my Sango/Miroku is still sitting half done… sigh.
I really like all your job thingies, I have some idea's about them, hopefully they'll work out unlike this chapter (Oo), we can always pray… anyway, keep the job things coming.
Can anyone guess whose happy thought was whose?
