"Shizuru Kuwabara," another female therapist called.

"Yes?" Shizuru responded. Keiko was sitting in the room with her.

"I want you to tell me the truth on this, because if you don't you are just hurting yourself."

"Ask away," she said monotonously.

"Shizuru, do you believe in demons?"

"No," she lied flatly and easily. "Can I go home now?"

The woman smiled. "Well, I don't see why not. Here's your chart. Just hand it to the front desk and tell them I said you can go. Then you can leave."

"That's it?" Shizuru asked. Keiko nearly fell over.

"Yup. Have a nice day."

"Um, okay, thanks?" Shizuru then whispered to Keiko, "She's your therapist too. Just do what I did and you'll be out of here. Then we can come up with a plan to bust them out."

Keiko nodded, and Shizuru left her with the therapist.

"Keiko Yukimura, I want you to tell me the truth on this, because if you don't you are just hurting yourself."

Do all therapists say the same thing? she thought. "Okay," Keiko said quietly.

"Keiko, do you believe in demons?"

"No," she stated confidently. The therapist wrote something down. "Um, can I go home now?"

"I'm sorry, but that would be against protocol."

"But you just let Shizuru go."

"Yes, but she is an adult and can check herself out, as well as her brother. You are seventeen and need to have your parents fill out the paperwork."

"But my parents don't know that I'm here!" Keiko exclaimed. "Can I use the phone to call them?"

"I'm sorry, but no."

"Why not?"

"Because it's against protocol. You might call your parents and tell them to come get you."

"But you just said that they are the only ones who can check me out when you see nothing is wrong with me."

"Keiko, nothing is wrong with you? Why did you check yourself in without talking to your parents about it first?" The therapist left the common room leaving a very stunned Keiko behind.

The next day, Yusuke was finally let out of his room.

"Hey, Keiko," he muttered.

"Hey," she responded sadly.

"What's wrong? How was your session?"

"Well, they deemed that nothing is wrong with me because, like Shizuru, I lied and said I didn't believe in demons. Shizuru was able to check out, but she left before I found out she could check Kuwabara out."

"Then why are you still here? You can tell her to get Kuwabara out of here. They screwed with his head, and I don't think he's gonna last much longer."

Kuwabara chose that moment to walk into the common room. "My name is Kazuma; it was never specified what town I live in; I don't have red hair, I have orange hair; I have never fought a demon…"

"Oh my God, he's gotten worse…" Yusuke said. He quickly turned back to Keiko. "Why are you still here?"

"Because I'm not eighteen. My parents have to sign me out, even though I supposedly committed myself. And I can't call them because I might be asking them to come sign me out."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Yeah…if only my birthday wasn't three months from now."

"Wait, you said eighteen, right?" Yusuke asked. "I'm eighteen, and so is Kurama…well, as Shuichi he's eighteen. We can get out of here, tell Shizuru to sign Kuwabara out, and tell your parents that you're here and that they said you're okay but need them to sign you out."

"Oh yeah, that might work."

"Okay, hey therapist lady," Yusuke called and the therapist who spoke to Keiko and Shizuru appeared from out of nowhere.

"Yes?"

"Yeah, I'm eighteen, so I should be able to sign myself out, right?"

"Wrong?"

"WHAT?" both Yusuke and Keiko yelled.

"You were committed by your mother so she's the only one permitted to sign you out," the therapist explained.

"Then can you at least call Keiko's parents? Nothing's wrong with her."

"I can't."

"Why not?" Keiko asked.

"Doctor/patient confidentiality." (-_-')

"But I AM giving you permission to discuss this with them."

"Oh, okay, but you have to fill out some paperwork." The therapist handed Keiko a ton of papers and a pen and skipped away.

"Sadly, she's the most helpful," Yusuke said.

"I'm going to fill out this paperwork and then I'll get my parents to get me out of here. I'll talk to Shizuru about getting Kuwabara out of here. Can you go tell Kurama about the eighteen thing?"

"Sure, good luck."

"You too."

A/N: So there's a plan in the works and we have two more sessions to go...what do you think will happen next?
