Chapter 26 – Welcome Back! Not!
Five days until Christmas. These past few days had gone well, and the ward was decorated with all kinds of Christmas decorations, and even a Christmas tree was standing in the living room.
But what was more special about this day?
Inuyasha could join the other patients and nurses decorating – he wasn't wearing the straightjacket. Although he was somewhat drugged, he could stand on his feet and reach the decorations on the tree's branches. Koga and Kaede were helping him.
"I am so happy to see ye feeling so well", the old lady smiled. Inuyasha was like he didn't even hear her, but put another Christmas ornament on a branch.
Mitsuhiro had been walking around the ward, gathering the patients in the living room. And when everyone was there, Mitsuhiro went to the kitchen and took a basket covered with a red cloth with him.
"Hello everyone!" he cheered as he peeked in to the living room. He put the basket on the table and revealed it. It was filled with gingerbread cookies.
"Help yourselves", the man smiled and sat beside Inuyasha. Everyone dug in, even Inuyasha. Koga, sitting beside of him, chewed on a gingerbread cookie, smiling.
"Haha, don't tell me these were baked by Jakotsu?" he asked his mouth full, more like joking.
"Ah, about that..." Mitsuhro sighed, rubbing his neck. "Everyone... Try to understand, but... He'll be back here later today."
Everyone turned towards him with eyes wide. Miroku almost choked on his cookie. As he was coughing, Sango pet his back.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Koga shouted. "He's a super-insane mass-rapist-murderer! He even almost killed YOU! YOU, for God's sake!"
"I can't help it. The doctors decided he belongs here, not in the jail."
Well, the patients sat in the living room together, watching TV and playing Trivial Pursuit. Someones had Christmas hats on their heads. Inuyasha didn't mind, because of his ears. He sat on the couch his eyes half closed. He was a bit tired, being drugged after all.
And then, Koga, who was playing the trivial game, smelled someone coming closer. Then he heard the main door open and close. Now Inuyasha, too, opened his eyes and his ears shot up.
"Oh shit..." Koga growled, but carried on playing.
Everyone saw as Jakotsu walked by the living room's door, and believe me: their faces weren't happy. And to make it worse, the man came back and peeked it.
"I'm back!" he grinned. Koga gave the finger at him.
"We really hope you'll b able to hold yourself now that you're back here again", a nurse said as she and Jakotsu were moving his stuff from his bags to the closet. He had his own private room again. But that wasn't the only thing the nurses and doctors decided to do with him.
For now, he would wear a straightjacket, except in the shower of course. There would be three nurses showering him, and one to feed him.
"So", the nurse said as five nurses walked into the room. "As I told you, here comes the straightjacket."
But completely different from Inuyasha, Jakotsu didn't resist the nurses putting on the straightjacket. And why?
One of the nurses was Mitsuhiro. Jakotsu thought he was 'insanely hot and sexy', As the man's strurdy hands touched his shoulder, Jakotsu closed his eyes and stuck out his tongue in pleasure. But Mitsuhiro tried not to care.
Now he was standing right behind Jakotsu's back, tightening up the belts.
"As you can now do nothing to harm anyone, we'll let you to the ward. But note that we'll be always be ready to stop you from doing anything stupid, and in that case, you'll be limb restrained."
Jakotsu nodded and grinned, but instead of walking out from the door, he turned around, facing Mitsuhiro, and licked his cheek slowly and slimy, and even worse, touched his crotch with his nose.
"What th-!" Mitsuhiro flinched and pushed the man back. "Do that one more time and you will spend your Christmas in the isolation room and eat nothing but lettuce!"
Mitsuhiro did remeber the day when Jakotsu slit his throat open with the knife and when Inuyasha followed him into the ambulance, and licked him in the face. But that was not the same! There was a non-sexual, deep and warm relationship between him and Inuyasha, but all Jakotsu thought about was sex and blood.
Mitsuhiro was really pissed. He opened the door for Jakotsu, and really fought the urge to kick him out.
"Get out of my sight", he grumbled. One nurse pet Mitsuhiro's shoulder. It was their job description not to get angry at the patients, and to remember they were just really sick people.
The atmosphere was nice in the living room. Christmas music was on, and the couch was filled up, and the basket of cookies was almost empty... But when Inuyasha saw Kagome, sitting in the farthest corner of the couch, almost leaning to the Christmas tree, quiet, Inuyasha grabbed the last three cookies in the basket and moved next to her. He grabbed one of the cookies and put it in front of Kagome's mouth. The girl said nothing. Inuyasha shook the cookie.
And finally, the girl took the cookie and ate it. Inuyasha nodded, and put the remaining two cookies back in the basket.
Everything seemed nice, like nothing could go wrong...
But then Jakotsu came in. Everyone stared at him their eyes wide.
"Finally the nurses got sane and strapped you up", said Kagura. "But I guess you enjoy that don'tcha?"
"Well, as ya can see, I ain't dead!" Jakotsu grinned.
"We can fix that for you", Koga snorted.
Jakotsu started slowly walking towards Inuyasha. Everyone followed his moves closely, when suddenly he reached Inuyasha's dog ear and bit it. Inuyasha whimpered loud, kicked the man, and Koga joined the fight.
"Nurse!" Sango shouted, and in no time eight nurses arrived in the living room.
"Alarm!" Kaede shouted. This fight was more serious than the normal Inuyasha vs. Nurses -fights, since even though Inuyasha was more violent and thus dangerous, Koga was, being a full youkai, a little stronger than him.
Koga was sitting on Jakotsu in the floor, pounding him. Inuyasha ripped the man's shirt in pieces. He growled, Koga cursed and Jakotsu laughed.
Luckily Mitsuhiro got there soon. For a few seconds he analyzed the situation.
"I'll take Inuyasha", he told the other nurses, strangely calm. He walked to the battlefield, grabbed Inuyasha from his armpits and carried, or more like dragged him away.
The duo went into Inuyasha's and Miroku's room. Inuyasha sat on his bed, Mitsuhiro sat on Miroku's bed for a while.
They didn't say a word, just stared et each other.
"Look, I don't blame you for attacking Jakotsu", the man sighed. "It was him who started it. And, believe me, he also did something to me that almost made ME attack him." Now he smiled a bit. Being forgiving was his nature.
But thn the dog boy heard someone else shout. His ears shot up, and he dashed out of the room, almost crashing through the door.
"Inu-!" Mitsuhiro shouted, but the boy was gone.
Inuyasha arrived at the living room. A room of chaos. Koga was stomping Jakotsu, who laid on th floor on his stomach... But the reason Inuyasha was here was not those guys: it was Kikyo.
She was cornered by three nurses in the living room's corner. She was screaming and always when a nurse got near, she kiced them away.
"Put that knife down!" she scream in horror.
"It's okay, it's okay, Kikyo", a nurse said, calm to calm her down. "There is no knife nearby."
"Liar!" Kikyo screamed. The nurses got closer... Closer...
But then Inuyasha jumped highover them, almost hitting his head to the ceiling, and landed between Kikyo and the nurses. He didn't stand still for more than a few seconds, and suddenly grabbed a nurse from her throat, and hung her against the wall.
"Mitsuhiro!" the nurses shouted.
But before the man arrived, Kagome came closer to Inuyasha and the scene that was going on in there. Inuyasha was growling louder and louder, tightening his grip... When suddenly he felt a fragile and cold hand on his shoulder. He turned his face with those red eyes, towards her. She wasn't scared.
"Please, let her go."
For a while Inuyasha stard at her, then at the nurse, back at Kagome... Then he snorted, bared his fangs, but opened his fingers, letting the nurse fall down to the floor. She had scratchmarks on her neck, that bleeded a bit, but she wasn't badly harmed.
Then Mitsuhiro arrived.
"What's going on?" he asked. He could see the battle was over – Koga was just standing on Jakotsu, and everyone else just strared at the Inuyasha/Kikyo scene.
"Kikyo got delusional, Inuyasha came to rescue her by attacking this nurse..."
"But then Kagome came", another nurse said. "She made Inuyasha stop."
"Oh...? How did you do that?" Mitsuhiro raised his eyebrow.
"Well I... I just told him to stop", the girl said, looking at the floor.
"... I see." Mitsuhiro turned his head towards Inuyasha, who was just staring at Kikyo. Then he turned at Jakotsu, laying on floor on his stomach, and Koga, holding one foot on him. After a few seconds of silence, Koga started stomping Jakostu again.
"Koga, calm down!" Mitsuhiro shouted. But the wolf boy just started thumping the man on the floor. Mitsuhiro and two other nurses came to them, but now Koga got really pissed, and attacked the nurses.
"Alarm and an injection, quick!" Mitsuhiro shouted. As said, Koga was a bit harder to fight against him being a full youkai. As the alarm rang, eight other nurses came to them, two holding every limb. Then a nurse came with a pretty big syringe.
"You fuckin-!" Koga shouted, trying to bite Mitsuhiro. Now he grabbed his pants and stung the needle on his butt.
"Now, we should limb restrain him."
Koga was carried to the isolation room 2, and strapped on the bed. These fights Koga vs. Nurses vere very rare nowadays, but when they came, they were really dangerous. That is why Koga couldn't be let out of here.
Koga wasn't the only one put in an isolation room. Jakotsu was escorted there, but he wasn't strapped on the bed. He just sat down on the bed and gave a look at Mitsuhiro, who was just about to close the door. Jakotsu grinned.
"So, I'll live on lettuce for a few weeks huh?"
"... Maybe I went a bit too far", Mitsuhiro said and gave a maybe very small smile.
"Okay now, Inuyasha", Mitsuhiro said, as he and Inuyasha were sitting in the family room. "I have a few guestions for you and I really hope you'll answer me." Even though he was quite sure he wouldn't.
"Why do you talk to Kagome? She has told me you have spoke more than two words to her. Why her? Why is she more important to you? What about me?"
No answer.
"And what about what happened today. I understand you wanted to protect Kikyo, but you must understand she was being delusional. You must never grab anyone from the throat like you did to the nurse. You must learn to control yourself. What I also understand is that you Do have your animal instincts, but you must learn to live in the world filled with normal humans."
For a while they sat still, all quiet, when finally Mitsuhiro said.
"You must remember what tomorrow night will be? I will come here for a night shift, so I can be here for you."
Inuyasha tweaked his ears and sighed. Man he hated Those nights.
