Chapter 16 – Friends Help Each Other

The ward had been quite a calm for almost a week. No-one had been shut into the isolation rooms, strapped on beds or straight jackets, no-one had been given injections on their butts...

But then, one Tuesday Inuyasha flipped. No other patients saw what was going on that moment, as they were sitting in the living room. They just heard Inuyasha screaming and the nurses shouting at each-other like 'hold his limbs', 'pull his pants down or 'get the straightjacket'. And so, the patients didin't even need to see the scene. Bah, again. Why again? Who cares?

"Hmph", Kagura snorted. "We were just about to brake the record of how long we can keep the ward tranquil. And thats's it – we're back in day one."

"So... How long is the record?" Kagome asked a bit shy.

"Ten days...", Sango answered. "But the are times when all the isolation boxes are filled up... And more than one of us has the feeding tube or a straight jacket... And times when everything seems fine... It varies."

The immense fight was raging in the corridor. Six nurses had just slammed Inuyasha against the floor on his stomach. Even though every single patient in his ward had been more or less violent and been isolated or even strapped, Inuyasha was absolutely the number one.

"Thats...it!" one of the nurses said as she stung the needle on the boy's butt. As the boy went limp, all the nurses sighed with relief and smiled at each other, even the game was not all over yet.

A female nurse called Ame jogged to them with a straight jacket in her arms.

"Here we go", Mitsuhiro said.

But as Inuyasha was completely dazed, he couldn't fight back. He was carried in an isolation box and put in the straight jacket.

Inuyasha laid on the limb restraining bed, with Mitsuhiro by him. But something was different from before – when Mitsuhiro lift his eyes from the form he was writing, he noticed Inuyasha was looking at him straight in the eyes. They stared each other for a long time, Inuyasha looking very calm and maybe a bit tired, Mitsuhiro was absolutely astounded.

"Hi there..." Mitsuhiro said very quietly. It was very hard to get eye contact with Inuyasha, so this was something very especial.

Mitsuhiro started smiling and slowly reached his hand towards the boy, who followed his movements. Finally the man laid his hand on Inuyasha's head between his dog ears. He was almost sure the boy would growl or try to bite him, but this time, he did nothing. But when Mitsuhiro started rubbing his right ear, Inuyasha closed his eyes.

'I have to tell the others about this...' Mitsuhiro thought.

The ward's doctor and a few nurses came into the room about an hour later. Now it was the time to decide would Inuyasha be released from the isolation room or not.

The doctor held the forms in her hands and turned at Inuyasha with a smile on her face.

"As you seem incredibly calm, we will let you back to the ward. But we will still keep you in the straightjacket. I will come see you later, and we'll see if you can be released completely."

Mitsuhiro opened the door for Inuyasha and let him out.

Inuyasha was still feeling a bit dizzy. He was sitting on the action room's windowsill, watching out of the window where he was banging his head against it slowly. He was all alone. He kept listening the voices from afar. Almost every patients of the ward had gathered up in the living room watching a movie. And this time the nurses had made some popcorn and bougth CocaCola. But Inuyasha didn't feel like going there. And so he closed his eyes slowly and took a deep breath. His ears fell limp.

Inuyasha fell asleep for about 15 minutes. But suddenly his dog instincts sent warning signs in his mind, and he opened his eyes quickly. He didn't see anyone else in the room, but he could smell someone coming closer.

A dark figure appeared on the doorway. Inuyasha turned his eyes towards it.

It was Jakotsu. He opened his arms as he started taking steps towards the boy.

"Ah, think about it, Inuyasha!" he grinned as he walked around the table. Inuyasha followed his moves carefully. "It's just you, me and... well, well, haha, you know...", he cackled his teeth bared. For a few seconds neither moved or said anything, until quickly Jakotsu ripped Inuyasha down from the windowsill by grabbing him from his straight jacket and started sniffing the boy. Inuyasha growled, and so Jakotsu started licking Inuyasha's face. The man grabbed his shoulders and pushed him down against the floor.

Inuyasha tried to fight back, but as he was still strapped in the straightjacket and so dazed even his sight was blurry, it was no good. He tried to kick Jakotsu in the stomach as the man was standing on him on all fours.

Inuyasha started growling louder with his fangs bared..

"Hahaha! You are so goddamn hot when start to lose it!" Jakotsu laughed. Then he started taking is shirt off, licking his lips for he was drooling.

Then Inuyasha started howling.

As said, almost every patient in this ward were enjoying the movie at the living room. A very exciting scene was just going on...

Until they heard howling. But Koga heard that louder than anyone else, because of his keen sense of hearing.

"What is that noise?" Miroku wondered while sipping his glass of Cola.

Koga said nothing, but jumped off the sofa and started running towards where he heard the howling coming from.

And there he was, just in time. Jakotsu had already taken off his shirt, and was now starting to strip completely, Inuyasha kicked him in the stomach and tried to bite him. Koga was shocked, and ran quickly to them.

Koga grabbed Jakotsu from his shoulders, turned him away from Inuyasha, slammed the man against the floor on his back and started beating him on the

face fiercely.

"WHAT-THE-FUCK-ARE-YOU-DO-ING?!" he shouted and kept pounding him in the same beat as his words so hard Jakotsu was bleeding from nose and mouth. As Koga kept beating, Inuyasha stared at this scene, laying on his side. He wasn't scared, no, of course not.

As Koga stopped beating, Jakotsu's face was covered in blood and he had lost two teeth, Koga was still holding the man from his shoulders, and pushed him against the floor. Then he turned at Inuyasha.

"I-Inu..." Koga said his eyes wide while rubbing his right hand, covered in Jakotsu's blood. "Are you okay?"

First Inuyasha was just like his own self: no kind of answer. But: now he stared straight into the wolf boy's eyes and nodded once, slowly.

"Come", Koga said as he helped Inuyasha up. They left the activity room side by side.

The canine duo walked the main corridor, when suddenly one nurse came to them. She was Kaede.

"I heard the howling. And it was ye, right, Inuyasha?", she asked. "Why didye..." but she stopped right away when she noticed little drips of blood falling on floor behind Koga's feet. Koga was hiding his right, bloody hand behind his back. But Kaede couldn't be fooled that easily.

The old lady walked behind Koga and almost shouted when she saw the blood.

"What on earth have ye done, young man?!"

"Jakotsu tried to rape Inu", Koga mumbled angrily. "That was outrageus! Inu was completely helpless being medicated and strapped! O' course I had to go help him!"

But Kaede dashed quickly towards activity room, where she found Jakotsu. His whole face was covered in blood, he had no shirt and his pants were just about to be pulled down. The man turned towards the old lady, grinned, took the two teeth he had lost, but them on the floor and drew a curve under them, making a smiliey.

"Holy-!" Kaede flinched and pushed the alarm button.

This time it was actually Jakotsu who needed actual treatment. His face was washed from blood, he got some pain killers and an ice pack to hold against his cheek. He was put in the isolation room.

And even though it was Koga who beat the man in terrible condition, it was him who had saved Inuyasha. And so he wasn't 'punished' like being isolated or anything like that. And now, as he was as calm as nothing had happened, he was freed to go back watching the movie. His right hand was washed before that.

Inuyasha was fine with this. It was very hard or maybe almost impossible to scare or traumatise him. He was calm like nothing had happened. And so, he was invited to join the movie. He sat on the sofa next to his savior. Koga turned his deep blue eyes to his friend's red eyes and grinned.

"You owe me a one."

Inuyasha stared at the wolf boy and grabbed some popcorn.
