This will me my little baby... (I’m talking about the fanfiction lol) I just like the idea a lot, for some reason... it will be a lot easier to write than ‘All Hallow’s Evening’ =P
"Don’t try to live so wise, don’t cry cause you are so right, don’t dry with fakes or fears cause you’ll hate yourself in the end." I love this song ^_^ Has anyone else heard it too? Isn’t it just looovely... it makes me smile and cry at the same time hehe ^_____^

01-12: Weeeee, I had to format my computer and I don't have Word so I don't have anywhere to write this except Wordpad or whatever.. So I'm sorry if I have a lot of misspelled words, I don't have a spellchecker, ¬¬
The Clone
Chapter 2: Monster
Inuyasha walked to the door of his room while he tried to put a t-shirt on without tripping. He was late for the meeting with Dr. Furlong... again. But after the long session the day before it was only understandable if the hanyou didn’t want to see the man’s face for at least a day! He wished he could be able to ditch the session at least for today... but it was hopeless, if he ditched, where would he go?
He closed the door using his foot and hurried through the halls, getting late would only make it worse for him. The doctor would most likely think getting late was an unconscious disrespect of authority or something. Whatever about today’s session was going to be, Inuyasha was sure of one thing, he was not going to tell the doctor about his last dream. God knew Dr. Furlong would have a nervous breakdown if he ever found out Inuyasha had dreamed about a *girl*. ‘It’s not like I remember much about it, anyway.’ Inuyasha thought. The stupid dream had probably been the after effect of watching too much television.
He arrived to the doctor’s office in the east wind of the laboratory and opened the door slowly. The man was sitting in his desk watching him with a enormous grin.
"I’m late, aren’t I?" Inuyasha asked and sat heavily on the chair.
"Why do you think that is?... let’s begin exploring your unconscious necessity of challenging the system..." Inuyasha sighed and prepared himself for a long long morning.
*~*~*~*
Kagome sat in her father’s office feeling awfully bored. Why had she agreed to come here again? Oh yeah.. because she had been too slow to think up an excuse not to come! She had to admit this was way better than Science camp, at least she wasn’t surrounded by nerds who thought the most interesting conversation was her dad’s experiments.
Sometimes she didn’t know why she tried so hard to be a perfect student, to be a perfect daughter. To be perfect, that had always been her goal... why was that? Her eyes fell on her dad, that was tying furiously in his computer. He was always so busy, he had never really had time for her, he was always working... that was why she thought that maybe if she was as smart as him, he would notice her.
Suddenly the phone rang and her father picked it up, after a short conversation he stood up and gave his daughter an apologetic smile. "Something came up." He said and Kagome rolled her eyes, who would have guessed that scientist had emergencies.
"You can go wander around if you want, I’ll be back in an hour, then I can give you an especial tour, ok?" she smiled and nodded. Wander around was exactly what she wanted to do... maybe she could sneak into the west wing and see *him*. Her curiosity was too much to contain! "BUT you can’t go to the West Wing." He added just before exiting the room.
Oh, busted! "But... but dad..." he shook his head and looked gravely at her. "You know that is off limits, Kagome."
"I just wanted to look around a little..." she pleaded, but it was useless.
"No."
She pouted and looked away. Why didn’t her dad ever let her see him? Was the hanyou that much of a monster...? Her dad always spoke of him like he was some kind of huge experiment, it was hard to think of him as something else than a thing inside a test tube. Even if sometimes she felt jealous of all the attention her father payed to the boy.
When she heard her father exit the office she stood up and prepared for exploring.
Half an hour later she was bored out of her mind again. And not only that, she was lost too... this place was as huge as it seemed from the outside. Suddenly she saw something that seemed familiar, it was a narrow hall that was a different color than all the other halls. The walls were painted yellow instead of the usual boring white. This was were the East Wing turned into the West Wing.
Kagome shifted from one foot to another, looking anxiously at the yellow hall. She had two choices: Be a good daddy girl and obey the rules ...and probably have a boring morning- or disobey her father for the first time and go look for something more interesting to do-like spying in her dad’s favorite project...
She was about to step into the forbidden hall when she heard a soft voice ask from behind her. "Who are you?" Kagome turned rapidly, afraid that a guard had caught her, but she was surprised when she found herself looking at the most beautiful golden eyes she had ever seen.
"I... Hum..." she started to say, but it was useless, she couldn’t find her voice. The first time she had seen him she was only three years old, and they weren’t even in the same room together. Now she was barely a couple of feet away from him. His hair was incredibly long and shiny, once again she felt like it brightened the space.
He lifted an eyebrow and looked strangely at her. "Do. You. Understand. What. I. Am. Saying.?" He asked slowly. Kagome felt her cheeks grow hot and put her hands on her hips.
"Of course I can understand you!" she replied.
"Well then, say something!" he responded and mimicked her red cheeks with a blush of his own. "Are you new here?" Kagome was still looking at him like he wasn’t real, but she had already found her voice.
"No..." she replied and hesitated a minute, she didn’t know if it was a good idea to say who she was, but decided that it wouldn’t hurt to tell him. "I’m just visiting my father. My name is Kagome Higurashi." Inuyasha made the connection instantaneously, there was only one doctor named Higurashi in the building.
"So Dr. Higurashi is your father..." She nodded. "He never told me he had a daughter." Kagome felt her heart bit painfully at the news... so she wasn’t important enough to tell his favorite experiment about, huh?
Inuyasha looked nervously around the hall, he had just finished his session with the psychologist, and it hadn’t been pretty...
"I’m Inuyasha." he said finally after realizing he hadn’t say his name. Kagome nodded but didn’t say that it was pretty obvious that he was Inuyasha. In fact, she was making a tremendous effort not to jump on him and touch does inhumanly cute dog ears. "Why were you going to the West Wing?" he asked curiously.
Oh, totally busted. "I... didn’t know where I was going." She said pretending innocence. He didn’t look convinced but didn’t say anything.
"You aren’t supposed to go there, that is my section of the building." Now Kagome was interested.
"Your section?"
"Yes, I live there." She looked strangely at him. She had known that the West Wing was the part of the building assigned to the Inuyasha Project, but she didn’t know the boy lived there... or maybe she had never made the connection... of course he lived there, where else would he?
"So you live here... alone?" He looked a little disturbed by her question.
"No... there are a lot of doctor that work here."
She felt her heart ache as she responded softly. "But... they don’t live here..."
He was quiet for a couple of seconds, like for the first time he was realizing he truly lived alone. "No, they don’t..." He looked around again and started to move to the Yellow Hall. "Well, I have to go now, I have a class to attent to."
Kagome stared at him for a while until his words sank in. "But... it’s Summer Break." Again he looked strangely at her and advanced to the West Wing.
"I never have breaks." And then, he was gone.
Kagome stood there, looking at the back of his skull while he retreated, and for the first time in all her life of hearing her father’s stories about the amazing boy/Youkai she felt sadness. And pity. And anger. Inuyasha was like a normal guy forced to live a monotonous life inside this cold laboratory... like he was some kind of guinea pig.
Was that all this boy was to all of these doctor? Just a simple experiment?
The only thing she knew for sure was that her father would hear a thing or two about what she thought about all this!
*~*~*~*~
After walking around the building five times, Kagome finally found her dad's office again. He was not there and 2 hours had passed already. She sat in her dad's comfy chair and crossed her arms over her chest. She wouldn't say anything to her father just now... but when they get home, he'll get it...
Her father returned half an hour later full of apologies, then he took her to the promised special tour, which Kagome liked a lot (even though she tried hard not to have a good time!), everything in the lab was very impressive, from the doorknobs to the dna analizer computers.
They returned home feeling exhausted and hungry, her mother had already fixed lunch and they began to eat happily. That was when Kagome remembered her little run into Inuyasha.
"I saw him today." she simply said, her dad almost choked.
"I TOLD you not to go the west wing!" he said gravely.
"I didn't, he was in the east side," she defended herself. Her father looked suspisously at her but only nodded. "I talked to him a little." Now her father did choke when he heard that.
"You WHAT?!"
"I talked to him... only a little. He seems... nice enough." Her father was mouthing words Kagome couldn't make out and her mother was only smiling, clearly enjoying the show.
"You are not supposed to talk to him!" He finally spat.
"You didn't say anything about that. You only told me not to go to the west wing, remember?" Said Kagome looking at him innocently.
"He is very dangerous, Kagome, you know this! We never know how he is going to react..." Her father started talking in his 'dead serious' tones of voice.
"He seemed perfectly stable, dad." Kagome rolled her eyes. what did he thought that guy was, anyway? It was like he thought Inuyasha might explote if Kagome got near him.
Her father remined quiet for a couple of seconds and then in a forcely uninterested voice he asked. "And... how did he acted, exactly?" Kagome looked wearly at him, he knew that tone...
"I'm not telling you! You are asking me like it's some kind of experiment... I'm not part of this, dad." He looked a little guilty and sighed.
"This is big, Kagome... You could have spoiled 18 years of work..." Kagome gave him a confused look. What was he talking about?! "That... was the first time Inuyasha ever had contact with a person his own age."
"WHAT?!" Kagome screamed and jumper out of her seat. "Are you trying to tell me I'm the first girl he has ever seen?" Her father looked a little afraid to answer but he did anyway.
"Well... his age... yes."
"I can't believe you!" She yelled. "What have you done to that poor guy?"
"Kagome, you are overacting. He is not even human." Dr. Higurashi talked softly to his daughter but the words had a big impact in her. She couldn't believe her own father was speaking them. She had always felt her father thought of Inuyasha as another son... but she had mistaken... He is not even human?
"Dad... how can you say that...? Even if he is not entirely human he IS half human, you brought him to the world a second time and locked him in a laboratory to examine like some animal!" She was yelling again, she couldn't contain herself, it was the first time she talked to her dad like this, and it felt good and bad at the same time.
"Where did you want me to put him? Nobody would adopt him, he IS dangerous, he needs constant watching." Her daughter still looked angrily at him.
"...Just answer me something. Does he even know he is... different? Does he know that he is a hanyou?" The girl looked severly at his father, wating for a response.
"... No." The asnwer made Kagome kick her own chair and stalk out of the kitchen angrily. Everything she had just heard was so wrong! How could her own father treat that boy like he was so kind of monster!
In the kitchen two lone figures sat on their chair looking at the empty space their daughter had left.
"Do you think she'll want desert?" asked Mrs. Higurashi to her husband, he just looked blankly at her and walked out of the room.
