Giggling hysterically, Kagome looked wildly around the room, her eyes darting from one corner to another before squealing in both delight and in lunacy. “So many of them,” she began to murmur as she huddled in the one corner she deemed safe. “So many of them and they all want me to go with them. I can’t go with them. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t.”
Looking up and meeting his eyes, her mouth twisted into a sardonic grin. “You’ll keep them away right?” she asked, her eyes wide and pleading. “You’ll keep them away from me, protect me from them.” Standing up, she ran to the window, placing her palms on it, spreading her fingers apart. “Only you can keep them away. There’s too many of them and she’s no help.” She pointed off in the distance to the figure that only she could see.
“Kagome,” Sesshoumaru muttered from the other side of the glass window as he watched her succumb to the madness again. Turning to the doctor he was at a loss for words. How could he tell the doctor that her psychosis came about as a result of the power of the Shikon jewel? How could he say that the demons within were too much for her to control and while they were in her mind, they were indeed real?
“Would you like regular updates on your friend?” The doctor had asked when he handed the demon lord his card.
“Please.”
Hearing her calling out for him he turned and walked away. There was nothing more he could do.
