Chapter 8: That's What the Lock is For!

The world was fuzzy as an unfortunate female woke from a heavy sleep of tranquilizers and groans at the disturbing light on the ceiling. Floating a hand over her face to block the fake sun from her delicate teal eyes she felt a pull on the midsection of her left arm as she looks over to see an IV still knifed into her, "Uh, I hate hospitals."

She looks at the hanging bag on a rack above her as it was filled with blood instead of clear fluids. Flashbacks occurring she remembers that she told the doctors that her blood type was an A minus. That they jabbed more needles into her when they got to the hospital while in some special room with a lot of medal equipments and fell asleep.

Getting the subject out of her system she senses an incredible power of demonic aura and the scent of mint to her nose. What got to her is that only one scent settles in the room. No lavender from Kagome, the smell of leaves and water from Inuyasha, and honey suckles from Sango or anything of the others.

Sitting up she her irises sight a tall quiet demon at the far corner of the room and he looking at her as well with those gold eyes. His attitude seemed to be as if he was bored with a straight mouth that had nothing special to go with it. Calm she gazes straight into his amber opals and could tell something different about them.

His eyes are cold from countless battles of no mercy like always but…I think they have…wait a minute what are you thinking Yuri! Snap out of it!

She shakes her head in trying to erase it but couldn't in which forces her to make a irritating, hopeless expression on her face with her eyes at the solid floor.

"You should pay more attention on where you step next time," revealing himself fully Sesshomaru told Yuri in gating his eyes closed.

She chucked a fake laugh while shutting her eyes, "Clumsy me."

Viewing at him again he was facing somewhere else, "Um…," she caught his attention that it made her accidently blush, "S-Sorry if what h-happened made you worry," stuttering in her own words.

"Nonsense," and turns away from her once again.

Is he trying to avoid me? Why is he suddenly answering my questions he never does that!

"Where are the others? Are they out in the hallway?"

"There coming," he still faced opposite from the breed only giving her the sight of his irises gazing at her from the corner of his eye.

I must've not been asleep that long because of my demonic strength.

"Why aren't you with them then?"

"Despicable humans are too slow."

"Hey! They're trying to get here as fast as they can; you could at least be patient…wait…how long have you've been here waiting for me to wake up?" he had been patient this whole time; waiting for her to wake up. She felt ashamed for not thinking before speaking. He didn't care to answer.

"I need to shut my mouth, here I am telling you to be patient for once and you've been patient the whole time."

"Don't blame yourself," he said plain fully with no emotion.

Now he's officially freaking me out! Did he get hit in the head or something!

She didn't know what else to say until one thing pops in her mind, how did he get here? If the others are still out there how did he know where to find her? How did he know which floor she was on and what room she was in? Is he that powerful?

"How did you know what room I was in because this is a pretty big hospital? With all these other scents mixed together from so many people how'd you know where to find me."

"Do I have to answer that?" he hissed annoyingly.

"I guess not."

Sniffing in the air Sesshomaru circles his head the other way towards the door, "they're here," she did the same thing and clearly scented them not far off and felt kind of brainless for not noticing it sooner.

"Oh, watch them explode through the door like I'm some famous actor," she grabs the ugly yellow hospital blanket, puts it up to her nose, and crouches down spying the door like a toddler afraid that the boogeyman was going to creep out of the closet. Having fabric up to her mug she could see she wasn't wearing her cloths but just some thin piece of uncomfortable clothes over her half naked body - cause she still had her under garnets on. It also reminds her that one time when female doctors quickly undressed her from the blood still spilling. Well the blood wouldn't have been spilling if they weren't jerking her around too much. Since she could heal so fast the doctors kept on opening the wound several times that she fainted.

Then she saw that her knee, shin, and ankle were bandaged up and it was starting to itch like crazy - in which let her know that she had some stitches that zipped her skin together underneath. Rubbing her hand against the wrapped bandage it was as hard as a rock. Yuri notices that it's a non-colored cast and that she couldn't bend her knee nor ankle. Just trying to alone made her feel a sting of pain stab through her whole leg. Making her also know that the whole bottom half of her leg is broken in multiple places.

This is just great.

She stares at him again looking all over the form of his body, "Hey why do you have your kimono on?" he gives her a sarcastic are-you-serious glare.

"Oh yeah, today was an off day."

Tracking everyday voices down the hallway that were growing stronger; you could clearly hear what they were saying. Yuri lays her head against the head of the bed letting the blanket fall to her waist, she raises her eyes to the ceiling, a does a countdown, "…3…2…1."

The doorknob revolves as the door moves inward and Mayu squeezes her head in-between the opening in seeing Yuri resting on the hospital bed. Yuri motions her neck to and informs her with a smile that she was okay. Everyone came in eyeballing the injured girl.

"There he is," said Souta pointing over at Sesshomaru.

"We were wondering where you went," assumes Kagome's grandpa with his arms behind his back.

"Please don't point Souta its not nice," advises Mayu as her son responds, "Sorry."

"Are you okay Yuri," came Kagome with Inuyasha beside her over at the edge of the bed.

"How are you Yuri, are you well?" Miroku speaks as the worried Sango was wrapping her arms around his bare one from him wearing a brand new short sleeved shirt that he got yesterday from the mall.

"Never been better," Yuri announces as the whole team and the family members were now surrounding the bed.

"So what did the doctors say?" questions Mayu.

"They didn't say anything to me yet; I just woke up," she still visions Sesshomaru still leaning over at the corner resting his eyes. Looking back at the others she pulls a piece of the blanket over at the end of the bed until only one of her legs were shown up to her mid thigh in exposing her cast, "but I noticed this cast. So I can't bend or rotate anything and I tried to but it hurt so bad that I'm positive my knee and ankle is broken. I also think that they sowed me up with stitches because it's starting to itch."

"I see there putting more blood into you," says Inuyasha as Yuri sees the side of his face shadowed from his chunky bangs while he was glaring at the red plastic bag. Curious he was about to touch it with his claws and not knowing how delicate the bag was Yuri was frightened that he would pop it, "Watch it! Delicate you know."

Inuyasha flings both of his hands up to his broad chest to let her now he was innocent whilst gazing at her. Door reopening with a nock to note that somebody was coming in a doctor with horizontal oval glasses came in wearing a spotless suit. Black business shoes pop out from his white pants.

"Sorry, I could help but hear but she's right. You can break it if you use the right amount of force," warns the doctor as he chuckles at the unique looking teen - since he is a teen in demon age - in his reaction of what Yuri said. The doctor's hair was tan as it dragged down in a ponytail to the base of his neck.

"I am Dr. Hashimoto and you must be her friends and family?" everyone nodded in answering his question as young Shippo leaps on the bed, "Will she be alright?"

"No need to worry she is in good hands," the doctor curves his lips upward and turns to the patient unraveling something, "Strange, the last time I saw you, you were covered with terrible bruises that were clearly visible to see but…now they're gone. You must heal pretty fast for a human."

"Uhh…yeah."

"I can tell you're a rare one."

"You're not going to experiment her are you?" Kagome wonders.

"Oh no I have no matter of that stuff. I've seen how far people have gone in those activities and trust me it isn't pretty."

Yuri makes up a lie, "well…good c-cause I'm just trying to live my life as any other being."

"You mean some of ya'll are trying to live a normal life," he corrects , pivoting his head to Shippo and Inuyasha's shocked faces, "you don't have to hide yourself. It seems that some of ya'll aren't even humans…am I right?"

"Even if we aren't what's it up to you," snaps Inuyasha leaning forward with a tense fist on his side.

"Inuyasha," harsly whispers Kagome.

"What!" back talks the half-demon.

"There's nothing to fear I won't spread this," promises the doctor as Inuyasha steps to him. He got in front to his face having his hand up to him to show his threatening claws, "You better promise or else you'll know what's coming."

Dr. Hoshimoto backs up and bumps into the hard medal as he swirls around to see Sesshomaru with his ancient armor on. He felt like he was being cornered by a gang in an alleyway as he beats sweat from his forehead. Having facing the harmless guests on the other side of the bed he straightens his arms to his sides and bows, "I assure you I'll keep this a secret and keep my word."

They all smile, blessed that they found someone to trust at times like these. Moving onward the doctor does his job in checking Yuri by flashing a small flashlight on both of her eyes to check if her sight was alright and searches over her cast to see if I was bandaged correctly, "Well from the looks of it the there's nothing wrong with eye sight and the color on her skin has come back to her normal tan so I would say that she can go back tomorrow at noon."

"Oh good, when do visiting hours end?" asks Mayu as the doctor sees a clock on the same wall that the door was attached to. The hours hand was close to the 9 and the minute hand was directly at the 10 when he looked, "It's 8:50 so you have at least an hour to stay, all visitors leave at 10."

"Thank you."

"I'll be going now…oh here's my phone number if this situation happens again. We don't want anybody else to find out about ya'll," he said truthfully as he hands a small piece of paper addressed with his initials and office number to Yuri. Rubbing the paper on her finger tips she grabs it, holding it with both hands she reads it, and then looks back up at him.

"Hope all of ya'll have a good nights rest and hope to see ya'll again someday," the pale doctor said and walks out of the room. Until he was out of earshot Miroku began a conversation, "Do you think we can trust him?"

"Who cares it's not like were ever going to see him again," Inuyasha says without thinking as the group gazes at him, "even if he did tell everyone we'd already be on the other side of the well."

"Yeah but what about mom, Souta, and jii-chan," cries Kagome.

"If anything bad happens then I'll drag'em to the well and they'll live in the Feudal era with us."

"You'd actually do that Inuyasha."

"Keh, are they your family or not?" he shuts his eyes and folds his arms together pointing his face away from her. She gives him an ear to ear smile in appreciation.

"Well at least we have someone to go for help, its better than not having one at all," advises Yuri glaring back at the card thinking of the one day that they would earn his trust, "hey where's that lady that called the ambulance?"

"She couldn't come but she says that she prays that you'll be safe and hopes you turn out alright. We were shocked to not hear a word from her from Inuyasha's appearance and how he and Kagome left to the hospital ahead of us," sounds the familiar voice of Mayu.

As visiting hours were fading away everyone got prepared to go as the clock almost struck 10. Heading out of the room they left her alone to herself in speaking their goodbyes and of their return at 11 a.m. as gramps closes the door. Soon after their departure she grew tired of her exhausting body and went into a dreamless sleep where no pain could detain her.

Back at the house Mayu threw away the spoiled dinner and everyone instead ate ramen. Not that Inuyasha was complaining. The pack took turns in taking quick showers full of shampoo and conditioner and Mayu, the old man, Souta, and Sesshomaru head for their beds. Sango, Kagome, and Shippo chat of what they're going to do while they are here in the future and some guys get hypnotized by the television.

"So what do you want to do tomorrow," asks Kagome visioning Sango sitting across from her with Shippo criss-crossed on the table in-between them. They were all in their comfy night clothes.

"I don't really know but since Yuri is injured we can't go to some place that's to crowded," Sango suggests.

"You're right," agrees the miko.

"I can't think of anything to help but I do want to try the candy here, when can I get some?" whimpers the little toddler.

"That's it!" Kagome eyes shine, "what about we go to a candy store."

"A candy store!" shouts Shippo and his face is overfilled with joy.

"Yeah!"

"Is that similar to that grocery store we went to this afternoon," guesses Sango.

"Yeah it is but the only thing in the store is shelves and shelves of all kinds of candy you can imagine," explains Kagome, making movements with her hands in describing it, "I know one candy store that's the right size for Yuri to walk around without getting too tired but its big enough to hold hundreds of candy in it. I use to go over there when I was little and buy some of my favorite candy with my own money."

"I like that idea but what about the guys? Do you think they'll like it there?" Sango replies.

"I don't know about Sesshomaru but I think Miroku and Inuyasha will like it there. You can also try the candy there for free so the guys can try some of it and if they like it my mom and I will buy it for them."

"You mean I can get any candy I want Kagome," screams Shippo in excitement.

"Yep."

"Oh, tomorrow is going to be awesome I can't wait," the red head dances around the table until he stops making himself yawn in being worn-out with his hand jacketing his lips.

"Looks like someone's sleepy," Sango tells.

"I'm not sleepy," lies Shippo fighting himself to stay awake, "I want to stay up with ya'll."

"You don't have to, we were just about to go to bed, isn't that right Sango," Kagome sees Sango look back at her, and in not arguing to the subject she shakes her skull.

"Okay, I'll go to bed then," mumbles Shippo while he frictions the back of his hand against one of his eye lids.

"Let's go tell the guys were going to bed," orders Kagome as both she and Sango were rising up from their chairs and push them back under the table. Arriving they see a monk and a dog eared boy sitting their rear ends on the floor in the frontage of the TV having there eyes glued to the screen of people, "Guys were going to bed," voices Kagome but got no notify of someone hearing her.

"Miroku, Inuyasha, were going to bed!" Sango volumes up her voice box and got the monks attention, "Huh, oh hey what did you say?"

"Sango and Kagome were trying to tell you that we're going to bed but you were so focused on that box," Shippo points to the small screen while standing on his tiny fox feet next to the young ladies.

"Oh my apologies, it's not my fault though. It's like this magical box cast some kind of spell on me. I just have the urge to stare at it like I would to a beautiful woman," he turns back to the television setting his purple/blue irises on it.

"Miroku," upsetting Sango he didn't even hear her warning like if she didn't exist.

"Just let him be Sango, they'll get tired at some point and go to bed," Kagome says because she knows when you're hooked on a TV you stay hooked for quite sometime until you get tired of it. Finally learning that she couldn't make him she sighs in exhaust and heads to the staircase with Kagome and Shippo taking one glance at the males.

From escaping the chamber of darkness Kagome wakes, "Is it morning?" her curvy hair was all over her face as she lazily got out of bed moaning.

"It's still dark, I'm thirsty," she tip toes out of the room not wanting to interrupt the demon slayer's sleep. Half asleep she sounded like she was high. Creeping downstairs to get a glass of cool water from the faucet she steals some ice from the freezer dragging her feet. Taking a sip from her glass she comes out of the now dim kitchen as she sees that the living room was still lit up down the hallway and she could've swore she heard faint sounds of newscasters.

"You're still up!" she saw the boys zonked on the TV in the same position as they were hours ago and in checking what time it was she went over to the coffee table snatching the remote.

I have to do everything.

Having the head of the romote to the addictive screen she presses the off button making the color of the screen and the people in it disappear.

"What the…everyone vanished inside the box," Inuyasha baby crawls a few feet until he was on his knees. Squishing his forehead against the glass wall of the black box he plants both his thin hands on it. Miroku shakes his cranium in returning back to civilization then suddenly apprehends to his body's lack of rest. He yawns; stretching his stiff arms outward while communicating, "How long have we been sitting here?"

"For about 4 hours!," Miroku and Inuyasha quickly spin around their heads in seeing Kagome towering above them with her hands on her hips. Steam floating off her head her eyes build with fire, "Its 3:37 in the morning…GET TO BED!"

The males immediately zoom out of the room so fast that there was a gust of wind in the room that it blows her hair as she hears the vibration of foot steps going up the stairs.

Grabbing her cup of liquid she flicks the lights out and left to go up the stairs. As she did she sees Miroku still standing as he catches her daggering glare and powers walks to her brother's room, "I'm goin' I'm goin!"

Thinking Inuyasha was already in bed she was heading to the bathroom. Until she opens the door and-

"WHOA! KAGOME!" a muscular voice shouts out.

Kagome had walked in while Inuyasha had his back to her and was pulling his underwear and trousers up! Though he had his undergarment and night pants almost to his hips she still saw a good view of his rear end. No shirt either…

Kagome's eyes shout out, "AHHH!," she turns her back to him as she slaps her hands over her eyes, "lock the door next time!"

Oh my god what have I done! Don't freak, it was just his butt nothing else! Just his nice-SHUT UP KAGOME!

He ties his cotton, dark green pants tight around his hip, still having his back towards her, "keh, lock the door! You're the one that's suppose to knock! And you didn't!"

"Well that's what the lock is for BAKA!"

"Would you stop screaming!"

"I'M NOT SCREAMING!"

"YES YOU ARE!" Inuyasha quckly grabs the object for what was coming.

"NO I'M N-" the hanyou stuffs a bar of soap in her mouth! Kagome fumes as she muffles the word and gags at the discussing soapy substance as she spits it out and runs for the sink. Inuyasha hits the floor.

DAMN THIS ROSARY!

"WOULD YOU GUYS GO TO BED!"
