INTO THE MADHOUSE

Chapter 6: Spongy Situation

MCS: MORE REVIEWS!

InuYasha was standing in front of Kagome. She went to hug him but he pulled away. He said bitterly.

"I thought I wasn't real. That's what you said wasn't it?"

"InuYasha, no. I only said those things to make them think I had. I know that you're real! I miss you and the gang so much. You have no idea what I'm going through."

"It's okay. Soon you'll be out of there and back with us. We'll look back on this and laugh."

"You'll laugh, I'll cringe with the bad memories," Kagome felt herself being pulled away. "InuYasha! I don't want to go!"

"It's okay Kagome, you just have to fight it with everything you've got!"

Kagome slowly opened her eyes. She was in the back seat of a car. Two burly men were on both sides of her, obviously they were orderlies. They took her and dragged her out of the car. It hurt her knees, she saw the asylum come into view. NO! She wasn't going to go back there without putting up a fight! These men still thought she was passed out. Kagome, quick as lightning, got out of their grasp. She started kicking and screaming and fighting them at every turn. She was winning too, until another group came and grabbed her. It was Naraku and some orderlies!

"Kagome, if you don't calm down this instant I'm afraid we're going to have to put you in the safety room," Kagome wouldn't listen to him. She kicked him hard in the stomach, she saw rage in his eyes. "Put her in the room!"

One of the orderlies came with a straitjacket. Two orderlies held Kagome while the other attempted to get it on her. Eventually they won and Kagome was in the jacket, now they had to get her down the long hall. Kagome looked around, she had never seen this hallway before. It didn't lead to her room, so Kagome dragged her feet. She wiggled and twisted to get out of jacket and the orderlies grips. No use, they kept dragging her. Eventually she was thrown into the the room.

"Let me out!" she screamed.

"Good chance," mocked one of the men. "That room will keep you nice and safe for awhile."

Kagome looked around the room, the window was small and up high, it barely let any light into the room. The walls were yellow and spongy. She screamed, it was no use. The walls also made it nearly impossible for someone to hear her

Hours went, Kagome was alone and isolated. It was scaring her, no one was there. At least with Naraku she had someone to talk to, even if she did loathe him with every fiber of her being. Eventually Kagome screamed, just to hear the sound of a voice, even if it was hers. She was about to cry when she heard a familiar voice.

"Hi Kagome! I recognized your scream from here!" It was Sango!

"Sango! Where are you?"

"In the room on your right! I got sent here after Naraku attacked me. Hey! Did you know that if you throw yourself against a wall in here you just bounce off?" Kagome heard a loud sound and then Sango's squeal of delight. She buried her head in her hands, out of all the possible roommates why? Why her? This wasn't the Sango that she knew and loved, this was some psycho figment of her imagination. THIS wasn't real!

As Kagome struggled with being alone she fell asleep. It was just in hopes of seeing InuYasha again, no luck. When she awoke she heard Kaede's voice.

"Kagome, you poor thing. Did they have you in that jacket the whole night?" she asked as she walked over to her. She undid the jacket, Kagome freed her sore arms. It felt so much better.

"Yes," said Kagome bitterly.

"Well, now the doctor has prescribed a stronger dosage of medication for you. Here is the pill that will make all those delusions go away," Kaede handed her a large green pill. Kagome stared at it, no way was she going to take it! Kaede wasn't leaving! Kagome put the pill in her mouth, Kaede smiled. "Open please?" Kagome did, the pill wasn't in there. "Well the doctor says that you have a visitor. Good bye," then she left. Kagome removed the pill from under her tongue and wedged it in between two of the sponge squares. No one could tell that she wasn't taking it. She wasn't delusional! They were the delusions! She sat in a corner and waited for her visitor. In walked InuYasha! "Hello Kagome."
