Hey yall! I totally decided to finally post this. I've been working on it on and off all week at school and I finally decided it was time to post it. I will warn you that this story is probably going to be very short. It will be unless I come up with some better material than I have in store. I want to say welcome back to those of you who have read my other stories and also a welcome to new readers. I hope you guys like this!

You know that feeling you get when people look at you? Well Kagome Higurashi felt this as she lay in her bed, decided if she should awaken or not. Finally the feeling overwhelmed her. She had to know what the cause of her discomfort.

Her eyes flew open and she sat up in bed. She was surrounded by her family, her mom, grandfather, and souta, and they all had the same look on their faces. It was a look between sadness and concern. "What's wrong everyone?" Kagome asked in a sincere voice.

"Kagome, darling, we need to talk to you about Inuyasha."

At the sound of his name, Kagome became instantly awake. "What's wrong with him? Is he hurt?" She was on the verge of tears. Her mother wouldn't bring up Inuyasha unless he was hurt.

Her mother sat down on her bed and took the frightened girl's hand. "Kagome, Inuyasha isn't real. He never has been and never will be."

"Whay would you say something like that? You know as well as I do that he is real. You've seen him yourself."

"Kagome, Inuyasha, your other friends, time travel, these were all just defense mechanisms that your body set up to help with the strain of being sick."

"I can prove Inuyasha is real, mom, I can!" With that she ran ran off to the well house, her family thwarted in their persuit to catch her. No one would keep her from Inuyasha, no one!

Kagome peered over the edge of the Bone Eater's well. She stared into stared into the dark hole that loomed before her. The well looked deeper than normal. Had it always been that deep? WIthout a second more of hesitation Kagome jumped into the well.

She felt the familiar sensation of falling, falling into the infinite darkness. Kagome waited for the familiar, eerie, blue light to envelope her, but it never came. The next thing she felt was herself hitting the bottom of the well and massive pain. Then her world went black.

The next thing Kagome knew was that she was not at home. The bed she was resting on wasn't her own. It was also pretty uncomfortable. She tried to move so that she was more comfortable, but felt a pain shoot up her ankle. She winced in pain, but refused to open her eyes. to sad and heartbroken to move, she felt comfort in the darkness. With the darkness came no pain, no sadness, no light. In the darkness she could begin to heal the wounds of her soul. The wonds placed there by Inuyasha.

Finally Kagome knew she had to wake up. The light was beconing her and she gave into it. She had to return to the place that was real. A reality without Inuyasha. Kagome couldn't fathom what kind of reality that it would be for her. She would never admit it aloud, but she had grown to love Inuyasha. And any reality without him would be too much to bear. She turned to look at her mother who was sitting in the chair beside her bed. She looked happy and sighed in relief when she saw her daughter up again. "Kagome how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine, just a little sore."

"You broke your ankle and have a slight concussion. Whatever caused you to pull such a stunt?"

"I don't know. Maybe it was feeble attempt to prove that he was real, that he is real. Even though you keep tryong to tell me that Inuyasha never existed, deep down I know he is real, at least to me."

"Kagome, I didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice. You're going to need to stay in a nice hopsital with some helpful doctors for a little while. They will help you to forget about Inuyasha."

"You mean a nuthouse." Kagome spat at her mother. It was more of a statement than a question.

"No Kagome, not a nuthouse. It's a mental institution. You are only going there because being sick was too stressful for you."

"It sure sounds like a nuthouse to me." Kagome broke down crying and there was nothing her mother could do or say to console the girl. Kagome wouldn't even give her the chance to try. This was supposed to be the woman who was there to help her. Not send her away from everything she knew and loved. Everyone kept saying that Inuyasha didn't exist, but she knew he did. Her mind flashed to all the times she spent with him. Her mother playing wiht his ears, Souta trying to get Inuyasha to play with him, grandpa trying to get rid of him. They all knew him, what was going on. Nothing they could say would rip her away from that conclusion. Inuyasha was real, he had to be. At this Kagome began to cry even harder.

Kagome's mother, sensing her daughter's mounting distress, pulled the girl into a comforting hug, but her attepmts were futile. Kagome found no solace in the lovin embrace. Later the doctor came in and checked her over. Since she was fine he got her a pair of crutches and signed her release papers. She was then escorted, by her mother, out of the hospital. Kagome glared at the care that would take her away from all she had ever loved and known.

They pulled up in front of a run down, brick building. Kagome cringed when seh heard the pained yelling from with-in. She walked, as well as could with crutches, into the building. Then she was escorted to a room across the hall. When she entered the room she saw a man with a white coat sitting in a chair. He spun around and Kagome saw a familiar sinister grin.

Kagome reeled back in fear. She couldn't believe she was seeing the man in front of her. The man who had caused her and her beloved Inuyasha so much pain. Naraku was the man sitting in the chair. He walked over to Kagome and extended his hand to be shaked. Kagome, wanting nothig to do with this man, merely pushed his hand away, a look of pure hatred in her eyes.

"Kagome is that any way to treat your doctor!"Mrs. HIgurashi yelled,"I'm so sorry Mr. um..um.."

"It's Naraku, mam. It's ok Kagome, don't worry. I'm used to this reaction. My face probably resurfaced some bad memoires, am I right?" Kagome just continued to stare at the man. "That'a s good sign." He replied obviouly ignoring the look of malice in her eyes. "That means that you won't take as long to make a full recovery." He still kept the evil grin on his face and it was instilling pain on Kagome's heart.

Kagome shuddered at the thought of being left here. Here was the one man who had ruined all of her friends' lives. Well at least she thought, were her friends actually real? Was everything she knew about them a lie? Kagome was too confused to be sure of anything at the moment. "Kagome, the other doctors and myself are here to help you with your problem. We'll help you so that you don't need Inuyasha to cope anymore."

"Dr. Naraku, you and I both know that Inuyasha is real."

"Waht do you mean Kagome?"

"You di this, you jerk! You made everyone think Inuyasha wasn't real! How could you?"

"Kagome you need to settle down. No one took Inuyasha from you."

"Yes you did! You liar! How can you sit here and spout lies like that?"

"Kagome you need to settle down.. No one took Inuyasha from you because he never was real. I need you to understand that. The soonder you let go of your little fantasy world, the sooner you can begin to heal."

"I'm never going to let go if Inuyasha. How can you let go of the one you love?"

Well I'm going to cutt you off there b.c I'm tired and going to go to bed. I know that I won't post this until tomorrow, but I don't have time to write more before I go to work! I hope you liked it! plz tell me what ya though!
