INTO THE MADHOUSE
Chapter 5:Problem Pills
"Yes Kagome?" asked Naraku walking into Kagome's room. "The nurse said that you wanted to talk," he sat across from her. Kagome was sitting on her bed, Naraku was sitting in a small folding chair.
"Yes," said Kagome. She breathed deeply. "I want to get better. I don't want to be delusional anymore."
"That's wonderful Kagome. I knew that my treatment plan would work! Now, are you absolutely sure that they aren't real?" he looked her straight in the eye. He hoped that this wasn't a ploy to get out. Many patients had tried that before, he had caught almost every one of them.
"I'm sure," Kagome said truthfully. "I just want to get better."
"Okay Kagome, now I want you to relax, I'm going to give you some pills that will help make you be able to tell what is real and what isn't," then he pulled a bottle out of his pocket. In it were some small pink pills. He gave her two. "Now Kagome, these pills will make you fall asleep before they take effect."
"Okay," said Kagome lying down. The bed wasn't that comfy. Naraku handed Kagome her clothes. "I think you can be trusted with real clothes."
"Thank you Dr," Kagome said. She took a glass of water and swallowed them. She felt herself drifting into unconsciousness.
"Kagome!" InuYasha yelled running towards her. He hugged her but she didn't hug back.
"What's wrong?"
"I can't do this anymore. I have to get healthy."
"What are you talking about? You are healthy!"
"No...I'm not. None of you are real, you're all just traps that my mind has set up to keep me sick. I just wanted to say good bye," then she started running away.
"KAGOME! NOOOOOO!" he yelled trying to chase her. But it was no use, she was gone.
"Kagome," Naraku said, Kagome woke up. "Kagome, your mother was here. She brought some items from home to you. They're over there on your shelf."
"Thank you so much. I can tell what's real now!" Kagome chirped happily.
"You're welcome Kagome. You have a visitor, you are allowed 5 hours outside of this place each week. In time if you continue to progress you will be allowed more time."
InuYasha walked into the room. "Kagome! I'm so happy to see you! I hear you're getting better!" he embraced her with a hug. She smiled and nodded. He took her to a spot on lovers' lane. They were sitting. Kagome laughed. Then she quickly looked around, her face got serious.
"Oh thank God! I was beginning to think that I would never get away from that place!"
"You, you weren't really better, were you?"he asked sadly.
"NO! I know I'm not crazy! Wanna know why? Those stupid pills! When I saw," she paused. "You" in my "dream" you were more real than anything I ever saw before! I had to fake it in order to escape from that place!"
"Kagome," he said. "I can't help you. I love you, enough to throw you into the asylum until your sanity is back."
"I thought you would say something like that," Kagome said frowning. She quickly kicked InuYasha hard in the stomach. He went down quickly. "Thank goodness you're a lot easier to take down in your human form. Well, I gotta go! Thanks for the car!" she said as she stole his car.
Kagome sped down the road, afraid that if she slowed down they would catch her. She would disappear, but first she had to do something first.
She snuck up to the window of her house and peeked in. When she saw what was there she was horrified. Naraku was there! He was wearing his evil clothes! Her family were all standing near him and laughed hideously.
"Well it seems that Kagome has escaped from the madhouse! If she comes here make sure that you alert "Dr. Naraku" immediately."
Kagome was scared, if he controlled her family who did she have to help her? She was all alone! No one was there to help her at all! She was about to run when she felt someone grab her. She twisted and fought but it was no use, then the person revealed them selves. It was Kikyo!
"Sister dear, I think you need your meds," then she forced Kagome to swallow the pink pills! Kagome passed out!
