Who is He?
"You can go home now Sango. You've been here all night. GO get some sleep; I'll make sure she doesn't go anywhere." Inuyasha smiled as he patted the sleepy Sango on her shoulder.
"Are you sure? I don't mind staying a little longer." She said with a long yawn, making her eyes water. Inuyasha suppressed his laughter and shook his head.
"Miroku, would you take her home and please don't try anything. It's too late to be fighting with you"
"Thanks Inuyasha, now I know how you really feel about me. Come on Lady Sango. I'll take you home."
He said gently as he tenderly grabbed her arm and led her to the sliding hospital doors. Inuyasha stared at his friends and smiled. It surprised him how fast they became friends. It was rather unusual to make friends that fast because it was hard for him to get close to anyone. Now, he made friends and fell in love in less than a week. He sighed as he heard a slap echoing from the other side of the waiting room doors and headed back to his Kagome. He let out a sigh of relief as he remembered how she came back. She called his name when he had already lost his hope. It's was perfect timing, he was about to walk away from everything. He felt lost and hopeless, he felt like thousands of swords slowly cut through him at different times. What he was feeling, no human being should go through that pain. He could only imagine Kagome's pain. The pain she feels is 10 times worse that every day; he couldn't handle the feeling for 5 minutes. Inuyasha's feet stopped without him giving the command. He looked up and realized he was already standing in front of Kagome's door. He gave a little smile and walked in.
The beeping of the monitor filled the dimly lit silent room. Kagome was asleep; she looked exactly the same when she was slipping away. He gently closed the door and sat on the seat next to her bed. He couldn't stop staring at her. It was as if if he blinked, she would disappear. He would never turn his back on her again, no matter what the cause. He did it once and he swore he would never do it again. If he almost lost her when he turned around, what would happen if he even blinked? No, he decided no matter how bad it gets, he will stick by her side. The worse is probably over, he thought. The gun incident was probably the worse. Oh how he could remember that day so well. He imagined the worse and luckily no one got shot. Poor Kagome. The way she was looking at that gun…like if it was her only escape…her savior…scared him to death. She looked so lost, so…broken. The way she was talking and…what was she saying?
(Flashback)
"Kagome, I'll help you. Please let me help you. I know this isn't you. I'll get to the bottom of this, I promise you"
"You don't know me, and you can't help me. He said so. 2"
(End of Flashback)
'Why didn't she let me help her? Wait. What did she mean by 'He said so'? Who was she talking about and who's been giving her those pills? Whoever he was, he would have to stop him from hurting Kagome further and find out why he's doing the things he's doing. What has he been telling her? Is Kagome playing us? Is she taking those pills voluntarily? What's really going on here?'
He was immediately interrupted by his thoughts as his name was softly whispered. He looked up and found Kagome tiredly smiling at him. "What are you doing here so late?"
"I'm spending the night here. How are you? Are you okay?"
"Yea, I think so. I just have a huge headache. What? Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked with a small laugh.
"I thought I lost you. I thought…you really gave us a scare, Kagome." He said sadly.
I looked down at my hands and smiled sadly. "You almost did. I did give up. I….thought death was the answer but then….as I was there, no longer existing…..I could still feel pain. I was still torn apart from my family. I thought I was going to be reunited with them. Then I heard him again. He yelled at me for giving up on him." I said as a tear fell down my eyes.
"Who Souta?" He asked gently. I looked at him, for some reason, hearing him saying Souta's name, gave me comfort. It gave me security. I …couldn't explain it. I nodded my head slowly not once taking my eyes from his. He looked down at his hands and looked deep in thought. He looked uncertain for a brief second then shook his head. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"Kagome, what kind of pills have you been taking?"
"Pills? I haven't been taking any……"I stopped in mid-sentence as I remembered. "What does that have to do with anything? I don't take any pills." I said unconvincingly.
"Don't lie to me. In your system, their was a type of drug running through your blood. What was it and why are you taking it?"
"What are you talking about? I don't..."
"Kagome, I'm asking you nicely. If you don't answer me, I'll call the doctor in here so he can personally tell you. Now what is it and where or whom did you get it from?" He asked sternly, not once taking his eyes off mine.
"Inuyasha what does that have to do with any..."
"What does it have to do with anything? Are you seriously asking that? The pill you are currently taking is called a Delusion drug. Now will you please tell me why after all this time trying to fight your memories, you're taking pills to help you relive it again? Because right now, I don't know what to believe and I need an explanation so I won't think the worst." He said as he stood up from his chair and stood in front of my bed. His eyes still on mine.
I looked down, surprised of what was happening. Explanation? Delusion drug? What is he talking about? I…I haven't taken any….I don't even know where to get those. What is he talking about?
"Inuyasha, believe me, why would I take that? I do want to forget my past. I'm not taking any delusions pills. I really don't have any idea what you're talking..."
"Kagome…" he warned.
"The only pills I've taken are pills to take away pain. That's it. I promise."
"Where have you been getting them?" He pressed on.
"From a friend." As the words left my mouth, I closed my eyes and felt as if the air left my lungs. I told my secret. I told. Naraku is going to kill me. He told me not to tell. He's going to hurt me. I broke my promise.
"What friend? What's his name?" I looked at him shocked. "How did you... "
"You said it was a him. Now what is his name?" He interrupted harshly.
"When did I tell you that? I don't remember telling... "
"You weren't in a right state. You were experiencing brief insanity and you told me 'He said no one could help you'. Now, what is his name?" He said exasperatedly.
"Experiencing brief insanity? What are you talking abo..."
"STOP AVOIDING THE QUESTION AND ANSWER ME DAMMIT!" He said severely as he banged on the bed rail.
"…i can't tell you that." I gently whispered. "I want to go to sleep." I said as I avoided his gaze.
"Kagome let me help you. Why can't you tell me? Did he threaten you? Did that bastard threaten you?" He asked worriedly as he kneeled beside me and caressed my face.
"I will protect you. From him and from anyone else who tries to hurt you, do you hear? I will always protect you. I won't let him even put a finger on you. I swear." He said as he embraced me.
He held me in his arms protectively as if the person who wanted to hurt me was in the room. Delusion pills? Is that what I've been taking? I don't understand. Naraku, what's going on? My mind was too tired to interpret the reasons or the questions, I quickly drifted to sleep.

A young slim woman withwaist length black hair knocked on a door and waited patiently.The door was opened a feet."Back so soon Kag….oh it's you. My, my, my, I haven't been expecting you." He said with a dark smile.
"Hello to you too." She said and squeezed through the space that was left unblocked.
"I don't recall inviting you in." He sneered as he slammed the door. The young woman laughed graciously while turning to the man behind her.
"Why Nara, if I didn't know any better I'd say you don't want me here." She smiled mockingly at him. In a swift movement he grabbed her arms harshly and slammed her against the wall. She let out a gasp and looked into his angered eyes.
"I told you NEVER to call me that." She looked as she was frightened but then started to laugh cynically.
"What's wrong? You don't like your nickname?" She asked innocently with a cynical smile.
"Don't play with me." He let go off her and walked to the mini bar. "What brings you here? I thought you said you weren't coming in till next week."
"I changed my mind. I can't wait any longer. I want to skip the plans and just let her have it. I want her to suffer like I've suffered. I want her to know what she put me through."
"No my dear lover, we have to stick to the plans. It's working rather nicely. I honestly didn't think it would work out as well. I didn't think that she would buy the bait."
"I want to attack her now! I can't wait any more Naraku!" She demanded as she walked up to him.
"All in good time. You wanted her to suffer first remember? She's really taking it all a little too harshly. Maybe the dosages are a bit too much for her." He chuckled as he brought the drink to his lips but as he did so, she grabbed it and threw it against the fridge.
"You better not kill her that way. I will personally take my anger out on you!" The man grabbed her again and slammed her against the counter, this time his hand firmly on her throat. The woman gasped for air and stared angrily at her attacker.
"Listen you stupid wench, you will do as I say. This operation is not in your hands. Remember our little arrangement? Everything's going according to plan even better than anticipated. So don't go around screwing it up, do you hear me?" As he slithered every word, his hand gripped a bit tightly around her neck. She slowly, scornfully nodded her head. Hating every bit of surrendering to her assailant.
He smirked evilly, "That's my girl." He let go and set her on top of the counter, kissing her roughly. "Get. Off. Me. You. Bastard." She growled as she moved her face away from his. He grabbed her face violently and kissed her fiercely. She moaned out of pleasure and continued to, teasingly, pull away from him. He laughed and pulled her hair making her head go back.
"Stop playing hard to get." He growled. She laughed as she pulled his face into hers. She slammed her lips against his and kneed him in the groin. He doubled over in pain. She slid off the counter with a satisfied smug on her face. She lowered herself to his level and whispered into his ear.
"Listen love, don't hurt her. She's mine. You take care of your part and I'll take care of mine. YOU don't mess this up. If you do," she said as she picked up one of the pieces of glass that littered the floor and slowly sliced his arm. He grabbed her arm and kissed her. She pulled away harshly and glared at him. She got up and headed for the door.
"Oh and Kikyo, take care of that mutt that dared to cross our path." She smirked darkly at him and walked out the apartment.
