Thank you for 8378 views! ^^ This really inspires me to write! But I seriously need ideas. So, send 'em! Sorry if I didn't take your idea, it doesn't mean it's bad, but sometimes I just simply can't make up a story of all the ideas I get.

Chapter 38 – Showing Feelings the Harsh Way

Kagome was simply very calm and nice for her personality. She hardly ever cursed or acted up, she didn't want to anger anyone, so she put up with everything.

At least usually. But not always.

Kagome kicked the nurse. She punched another. She bit one. She had been threatened with naso-gastric tube, but she wouldn't agree. She gave her all to... well, kill all the nurses. That's what she thought, seriously. She was really upset.

She was given a strong dose of sedatives as an injection. As she went limp, she was carried through the ward towards the isolation rooms. But on their way they met Inuyasha – and that wasn't good. Inuyasha's ears shot up as she saw the dozed girl in the nurses arms, and tried to attack them to save the girl. Thank god Mitsuhiro was just next to him. He grabbed him by wrapping his arms around his chest and dragged him away.

"Hyaaargh!" Inuyasha shouted and tried to squirm out of the nurse's grasp.

"Hold yourself, she will be alright", Mitsuhiro tried to calm the boy.

Kagome was unconscious when she was strapped on a bed. And there she spent the next three days, not getting free for a second. She did have the feeding tube for the first day, but now she was eating (at least barely enough), she could be free from the straps, but had to still be in the isolation room 4.

But Inuyasha had been worrying like hell ever since he saw the girl being carried through the corridor. Now he hadn't seen her for for three days. And he didn't want to just put up with it.

He ran to the isolation wing and stopped in front of the isolation room where Kagome was. How did he know it was that one? He could smell her with his canine sense of smell.

Then he started kicking the door.

Kagome was laying inside the room on a mattress on the floor. She got frightened and pulled her blanket over her face.

There were a few nurses in the office, one of them being Mitsuhiro. They got on their way towards the isolation wing and saw Inuyasha both kicking and pounding the isolation room's door. But then something unexpected happened...

Inuyasha started talking. Shouted, but talked.

"Lemme in! Fuck! Fuck! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" And he carried on kicking the door. The nurses watched this from afar. One nurse started walking closer to the boy, but Mitsuhiro stopped him by raising his hand in front of him.

Kagome recognised the voice from the other side of the room's door. After all, she was one of the only people who had heard him talk. And so she got up and walked to the door, placing her ear against it.

"Inuyasha? Is that you, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha's pupils shrank and he kicked a few more times.

Of course Kagome was a bit sad for making Inuyasha so upset because of her... But she was maybe a bit happy that he showed emotions and care towards her.

Inuyasha acted weird sometimes. He had his own ways of expressing himself, since it didn't happen by speech.

Now Inuyasha did it by starting to lick the door.

"Inuyasha, come on..." Mitsuhiro said quietly. He knew he should be really careful now, as the boy was so agitated. "Don't lick the door... It won't help in any way."

"Should we get an injection?" one nurse asked. Mitsuhiro didn't turn towards her, but stood still, quiet, for a while.

"Hm. I quess so. You go get it and I'll stay here."

The boy stopped licking, but started kicking again. A few dints had appeared on the door. Mitsuhiro got closer slowly.

"Easy, pal, we'll help you out, just a minute..." he held his hands up to tell the boy to trust he wouldn't do anything bad to him.

Then Inuyasha smelled The Thing. He turned his instantly towards a pack of nurses coming closer to him and Mitsuhrio. They had leather gloves, one having a syringe filled with strong sedatives. Now Inuyasha forgot about Kagome, but backed off and bared both his fangs and claws.

"We can make this either easy or the har-" Mitsuhiro tried to say, but that was interrupted by Inuyasha running to them with his claws up.

"Do the alarm!" Mitsuhiro shouted. As the alarms rang, all the nurses grabbed Inuyasha and pressed him against the floor.

"What's taking them so long?!" Mitsuhiro hissed. Inuyasha had always been strong – ever since the chidrens' ward at eight years old. Now he was 16. It was obvious his strength had doubled.

Finally six nurses from other wards ran to them.

"So it's Inuyasha again..." one of them sighed.

"Don't just stand there! Help us!" Mitsuhro shouted.

With nine nurses present, doing the injection wasn't hard. And after that Inuyasha was limb restrained. He woke up from the medicine's effect. He wasn't really angry of being strapped. He was still thinking of Kagome. Who knows what they had done to her?

Then he saw the room's door was open. As light came in, he could see only two person's silhouttes. But he could hear them.

"He was very agitated and aggressive", Mitsuhiro told the other person – the doctor of the ward. "But he spoke."

The doctor raised her brow and turned towards to isolation room. She saw the boy's red, glowing, emotionless eyes in the dark.

"...What did he actually say?" she asked.

"Well uh... It wasn't really anything nice", Mitsuhiro grinned. "But it was better than nothing! He cursed. Shouted 'fuck fuck fuck!' and insisted to get in Kagome's isolation room to her."

Again, the doctor turned towards Inuyasha. "Heh, I think it is maybe good. First, he spoke. Second, he showed that he does have emotions. And not towards only you, but also Kagome."

Mitsuhiro nodded, smiling.

"I think we should start some kind of cognitive behavioral therapy for him. I think there is some hope for him. It will be hard though as he speaks only those who he chooses to."

Inuyasha spent the night strapped, but was released in the morning right after the doctor came.

He had been free for a while now. But he wasn't feeling well. He was missing Him. So bad. And today, actually right now at 2 pm, there was held an occupational therapy session in the actvity room. About half of the ward's patients had gathered around the room's table, Inuyasha being one of them.

"Today we are going to draw!" the therapeutist announced. "Draw anything you have in your mind, anything you feel or think about. And in the end we will introduce them."

She gave a look upon Inuyasha, who just tapped the table with his claw. She sighed, but started giving out papers and put the box of pencils in the middle of the table.

It wasn't uncommon for a long time patient to be very talented in drawing, as they didn't have anything else to do except drawing, so they get better and better through time. Jakotsu, Kagura and Koga were absolutely the best here. And the worst... was Inuyasha. Quite obviously. He couldn't write, he couldn't draw. His hands were always shaking and drips of drool kept falling on the paper.

But when Inuyasha got a sheet of paper and a pencil, he started drawing instantly. Koga was sitting next to him. He peeked over his shoulder to see what his friend was drawing. He grinned.

"Hehe, who is that guy? Or is it a she?"

Inuyasha didn't react, but carried on drawing.

"Alright, everyone", told the therapeutist after half an hour of drawing. "Let's see the drawings."

The turn to introduce the drawings went around the table. Now it was Inuyasha's turn. But he just got up, folded the drawing and walked away. Everyone stared after him, but carried on with the session.

Inuyasha rushed through the ward, fast, a million voices echoing in his head. He shook his head to make them shut up. He fell on his knees, grabbed his head with his hands and shook it harshly. Then he crashed on all fours, panting and drooling. He had this horrible delusion going through his mind – like possessed him. He couldn't stop it. The low voice of the delusion told him that the most important person in this world was in danger. His daddy.

But then he raised his eyes towards the folded drawing. For a while he kept standing on all fours, but then he sighed, trying to calm down. He grabbed the drawing and walked away with it. He could manage his delusions all by himself. That was very rare.

He stopped at the ward's main door and crashed against it. Maybe daddy would come to him? Maybe he was alright? And what about his big brother? What could he do to help them?

Kagome, too, had been in the therapy session. Now it had ended, and she walked the main corridor – and saw Inuyasha, sitting in front of the main door. The girl smiled a bit and walked towards him slowly. He was hugging his knees, looking nowhere.

"Inuyasha, how are you doing?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha didn't react. The girl slowly sat next to him. Both just sat there, not saying or doing anything. Then Kagome noticed the drawing on the floor, under Inuyasha's foot. She started slowly reaching towards it, but when she got too close, Inuyasha slapped her hand. Kagome retreated her hand instantly.

"S-sorry..." she said quietly. Inuyasha didn't answer in any way, just turned his eyes back to nothingness.

There they sat for maybe ten minutes, when suddenly Inuyasha lift his foot and grabbed the drawing, giving in to Kagome.

The girl's eyes widened as she took the drawing. She opened it and gave a look. This made her chuckle.

It was clearly a drawing of his dad and brother – Kagome Had seen them in the photo Inuyasha had for Christmas, and the dad she had seen even live. The drawing was like made by a kindergarten kid, but Kagome thought it was adorable.

"Hm, I wonder..." the girl thought. "Would you like to mail this to your daddy?"

Inuyasha stared at her, and finally nodded.

So they walked side by side through the ward.

"We need Mitsuhiro..." she thought. "I wonder where he is?"

Inuyasha started sniffing the air. And that made Kagome smirk. The dog boy led her to the living room, where Mitsuhiro was playing poker with Miroku.

"Excuse me, sorry for interrupting your game..." the girl said. "But Inuyasha wants to mail this drawing to his daddy."

Mitsuhiro smiled and turned towards Miroku, who nodded.

"Alright, I'll get an envelope and a stamp. Just a sec."

Mitsuhiro wrote Inuyasha's father's name and address on the envelope and shut it.

"I'm sure your daddy will appreciate this", he smiled – and so did Kagome. Inuyasha had just his blank face, but Mitsuhiro pet his back. "And believe it – you make me very happy you show us you have love and care deep inside you." And the man turned towards Kagome, who looked at Inuyasha, then turned at Mitsuhiro with an questioning face. Mitsuhiro looked at Inuyasha and nodded. Kagome started slowly reaching towards the boy's dog ears. Then she started rubbing it for a while. Inuyasha tweaked his ears, but remained calm.

"It's obvious he likes you", the man nodded. "And even more obvious is that You like Him!"

Kagome grinned as she carried on rubbing. After a while Inuyasha moved away, telling Kagome to stop. But she was still delighted. She really had a crush on Inuyasha. Can others see it, Kagome thought. But who cares, she was by no means embarrassed. Inuyasha was the first boy ever who she had have feelings towards. Nobody liked her at school, as until sixth grade she was a little chubby, which all the other students reminded her daily. That was what caused her anorexia. Maybe she would tell her story to Inuyasha? Maybe some day...
