Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha (you'd know if I did)

Character I.D.: Kikyo- Dr. K, Sesshoumaru- Dr. S, Miroku- Man in white, Sango- Woman in white, Shippo- Masked One, or the Masked Kitsune, Kagome- Nurse H, Inuyasha- Patient 13, or himself.

Dr. K was sitting in her office again, making some notes when Dr. S stepped in.

"Yes?" asked Dr. K politely as he entered.

"Dr. K, I wanted to know if Patient 13 has taken his medicine." stated Dr. S holding his hands behind his back.

"We gave him his daily shot two hours ago. Why?" she replied looking up at him.

"Diaz's yearly entertainment has arrived and I wanted to know if you thought your patient was stable enough to attend."

"If we strap him down, we shouldn't have much trouble. It might actually do him some good to get a laugh or too. What are we having this time."

"A magician, and a good one."

"Who?"

"He calls himself the Masked Kitsune."

"When will it start?"

"In about thirty minutes. I'll have Man in white meets at Patient 13's room to help strap him to a dolly." he told her. Just as he was about to leave, he looked back at her. "And make sure that he has his muzzle on."

As Dr. K stepped in, she glared at Patient 13 who was sleeping on his bed. He held his teddy bear tightly against himself and was sucking his thumb.

"Inuyasha?" she called to him. When he finally awoke, he slowly leaned up to face her. His medicine had long since taken effect, leaving him looking exhausted.

"…Yes...doctor?" he replied miserably.

"How would you like to see a magic show?" asked Dr. K politely.

Ten minutes later, Man in white was pushing a large dolly down the hall with Patient 13 tightly strapped to it, and a muzzle around most of his face. Dr. K, at Patient 13's request, was walking beside him carrying Tet so he could see him.

They entered a large auditorium, where several armed men were lined up along the wall. Most of the other patients from the asylum were all sitting in the rows of seats. They rolled Patient 13 in the back and Man in white stepped away to take his place along the wall. At the opposite end of the auditorium was a large stage that was sealed off with thick looking glass. Dr. S stepped out onto the stage and spoke.

"Patients, for you once a year entertainment, the Masked Kitsune will give you a magic show that even impressed me." he said. Then, a short kitsune dressed in a small suit and tie with a mask covering his face, stepped onto the stage, and Dr. S stepped away.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" started the magician.

After pulling himself out of a hat, sawing himself in half, and several other magic tricks that normally took more than one person, the Masked Kitsune took a bow and prepared for his final trick.

"And now for the finale!" he called. Just as he was about to start, an alarm was raised, and the intercoms came to life.

"ATTENTION: A PATIENT HAS ESCAPED! REPEAT: A PATIENT HAS ESCAPED!" called someone on them loudly.

Suddenly all the doors closed and a loud click from them all signaled that a lock-down had started.
