he Shikon Institute for Phobias
Summary-
Who said people with different phobias can’t get along? A cure is offered at the end of a promising three-year therapy session, but no one signed up for the chaos their psychiatrist has in store!
Chapter 1- Group Therapy
“You can’t be serious Mom!” A young teen exclaimed as her mother sat with some strange man with dark onyx hair.
“Kagome, you have to trust me on this one! The college said they would accept you after a year of group therapy and-,”
“To hell if I care about that stupid Shikon College they-,” the annoyed blue-eyed adolescent protested but was interrupted by the loud surprised gasp from her mother.
“Young lady, go pack your things right this minute!” Kagome stomped off without another word, but could hear her mother apologizing to the strange dark-haired man. “I’m sorry Mr. Onigumo, living with her phobias has been hard on the entire family, but will it really be possible for you to heal her in under a year?”
“Mmm, of course Mrs. Higurashi, you should not doubt the Shikon Institute.”
“That’s the last thing I heard before Naraku carted me off here. My brother even tried to run after the car because he didn’t want me to leave. I’ve been here for over two weeks now, and not once have I seen our supposed therapist or felt like we’ve had a therapy session.” A round of applause went around the circle minus one person. To me, he was absolutely gorgeous, but way out of my league.
He had been an Armani model, but they refused to renew his contract until he sought help here. From what I had gathered, his name was Sesshomaru, and he was a germ phobic. His brother was here too… well half-brother as they both constantly reminded us. His brother’s name was InuYasha and he was here because he’s afraid of the living dead and the possibility of dying… also known as ambulothanatophobia and thantophobia.
Honestly, he has to safe-proof everything before he sits down. So far the Naraku bastard hasn’t even been in our group sessions, which he is supposed to monitor, and it was totally awkward the when I introduced myself the first day by instruction of Kaede, she’s the nurse here. I’ve made a few friends so far though. A girl named Sango, who has a fear of cats, also known as ailurophobia . A guy Miroku, whose dominant fears are of small round things and tunnels… I forgot what his phobia was called.
There’s young Rin, who is afraid of flowers, also known as anthophobia . Let’s not forget darling Shippo, who is afraid of mushrooms, mycophobia , loud noises, lygrophobia , and midgets, lollypopguildophobia , which is odd because he’s below average height for a male. I know… I didn’t believe the name of that fear until I Wikipedia’d it.
Making friends also comes with making enemies, but they’re just some girls who think they’re better than me. A perfect example is Kikyo, who has a fear of gaining weight or obesophobia. She’s also InuYasha’s girlfriend, and for some strange reason, she thinks I want him. That reminds me of Ayame, her phobia is rejection which I don’t think has a scientific type name, but anyways, she thinks I want her crush Kouga.
He has a fear of wolves or kynophobia and fast speeds, tachophobia . There’s also Yura, Kikyo’s sister from another mother. She’s afraid of long hair or chaetophobia , which is why she doesn’t come near me often. Let’s not forget Kagura. She thinks I want Sesshomaru, who fucked her and left her over two years ago! To solve my problem of her, all I have to do is tell her the wind is blowing kinda hard and remind her we’re on the fourth floor.
As you may have guessed she has a fear of wind, ancraphobia , and a fear of heights, batophobia . There’s only one girl I haven’t really associated with, and she’s Kagura’s sister, Kanna. The girl doesn’t really speak much, and when she does, she never meets your eyes. She’s afraid of mirrors or reflections, eisoptrophobia , and those cameras you take a picture with and have to shake the photo. A bell shook me out of my thoughts and I looked at the watch on my wrist. It was time for lunch and I was starving.
Maybe I could scare Kikyo out of eating. Grinning to myself, I followed behind the group to lunch, already devising a plot to earn myself more food. As soon as I had my plate I sat it at the table with Sango and the other tolerable people, and then walked over to Kikyo’s table. “Hey Kikyo, that’s a nice tank top dress,”
“Thanks, I think it shows of my body well,”
“Oh is that what your goal was? Well…yikes…I can see the cellulite on your arm…” I cheered inwardly when her face twisted in utter disgust and she pushed the plate of pizza and fries away as her face paled.
“Have at it bitch, you’ll be fatter than a cow in no time.” I smirked, ignoring her insult because my goal was accomplished, and grabbed the Styrofoam plate without hesitance to return to my other plate.
“Jeeze Kagome, you eat more than InuYasha. Where do you put it all?!” Sango questioned with a mortified expression. I didn’t respond, but simply continued to eat ravenously.
“Kagome isn’t gunna answer you until she’s done eatin her fries.” Shippo told Sango in a reminding tone as I began to eat my second pizza. InuYasha joined us shortly, reaching his hand in my plate to grab some fries before he even spoke to us.
The cafeteria echoed with the sound of flesh on flesh and a pained yelp. The entire table erupted in laughter save for me because I was now chomping on fries drowned in ketchup, and InuYasha who wore an annoyed frown. “That aint funny runt so shut up before I hire a midget to come harass you.” Shippo paled and ceased laughing immediately.
“Leave him alone InuYasha,” I bellowed between the second plate of fries, “Kikyo is looking more and more like a skeleton every day. I don’t know how you continue to sleep with her.” Shippo snickered behind his hand and InuYasha growled at me.
“Shut up bitch before I open the window and let the birds in.” I frowned openly, now half-way done with my fries.
“Tonight is movie night. I hear we’re watching zombie movies like Dawn of the Dead.” A furious blush graced his entire face before it turned red with anger. I downed to cartons of chocolate milk in record time and stood up to throw my trays away. That’s when InuYasha grabbed my wrist with a tight grip. “What are you doin? Let go of me retard!” I exclaimed as he threw me over his shoulder and began to walk out the cafeteria.
“I’m gunna throw you down the old well behind this buildin.” He answered as if I was dense.
“Put me down you idiot!” I yelled as he reached the cafeteria double doors. He simply laughed as he threw them open and I attempted to grab one of them, but he jerked me with heavy force. I screamed in surprise and he continued walking down the hallway that led to the back of the building where I had seen Sesshomaru smoke many-a-cigarettes, and where the old well house was. Panicked, I began pounding on his back.
“Quit your medley hits before I drop you on your head.”
“Stop playin InuYasha. It’s rainin cats and dogs outside!”
“I aint playin bitch… I’m tired of your smart ass mouth. I been havin to hear it since the third day you got here.” He threw open the garden double doors and stepped into the heavy down pour. I screamed at him to put me down as he walked to the well house doors. I even began to flail my legs but he slammed me against the well house which ultimately disoriented me as he returned me on his uncomfortable shoulder. Got damn my head hurt now. I saw the broken floorboards of the well house, but still felt droplets of rain on my head and various parts of my body.
I could feel myself start to hyperventilate as the smell of old, soggy, and rotten wood reached my brain. InuYasha placed me against the door, giving me a full view of the well. “InuYasha,” I gasped as my eyes widened with fear, “Please get me out of here.” I began to take desperate breaths and he only smiled as I could only give him a glare that should read ‘I hope you die.’ Oh and that is when he did the unthinkable! He freakin kissed me! I mean it wasn’t one of those nice movie scene kisses or anything. It was pleasant at first… but then he stuck his slimy tongue in my mouth and boy did he have garlic breath!
I mean it just ruined it for me… very atrocious! I tried to hasp for some cleaner breath and he only deepened the kiss. Ugh! Disgusting… I had seen him and Kikyo goin at it like wild dogs this morning and just reminiscing made me want to puke! Gathering my draining strength, I pushed the bastard off me, sending him stumbling to his ass.
“What the hell is your problem bitch?” He exclaimed as if he was Johnny Depp or something, for a look of shock was on his face.
“You!” I began, “You fuckin bastard! You bring me out here in the freezing rain nearly hyperventilating and then put your disgusting Kikyo garlic lips on me!” I was furious now. No… I was livid. I nearly screeched in anger when he gave me a smug smile.
“You know you want me.” He stood up and walked back over to me and tried to kiss me again. This guy was definitely off his rocker. A little bit angrier now, I clenched my fist tightly and reared back, hitting him square on the nose. He yelped and flew back with incredible force, so I took the chance to run.
I ran as fast as I possibly could, and I didn’t even know where I was going! I pushed open a set of unfamiliar double doors, hearing the echoes of InuYasha’s profanity behind me. I’m pretty sure I’m crying hard as hell by now, but I can’t get much oxygen from being scared out of my wits and I was beginning to hyperventilate and have a panic attack at the same time.
“Breathe girl,” a familiar baritone voice commanded. I opened my eyes, surprised I didn’t fall. I could only nod and take in greedy breaths of air. I shivered. It was always cold in this blasted building. I’m positive my face is pale and my hair is wet and plastered to my face. I was still taking in greedy breaths with my mouth so he covered it and forced me to breathe calmly through my nose. “Slow and steady, I would hate for you to die.” I could hear the sarcasm in his voice and my eyes flew open as I realized who was holding me.
“You’re a jerk,” I whispered, my voice barely audible.
“What did the idiot do to you for you to panic like such?” I rolled my eyes and said nothing. My chest was heaving up and down as I remembered the hell his brother had put me through in like fifteen minutes.
“Well house,” I muttered after a bout of thinking as the color returned to my face.
“Where did this fear of wells conjure from?” He questioned curiously.
“I fell down one when I was five and-,”
“Ah Sesshy-poo! There you are…” Kagura’s screeching voice called. I heard him sigh under his breath as Sesshomaru returned me to an upright position. “What the hell are you doing whore?!” She screeched catching sight of me. I rolled my eyes and gave her a knowing smirk.
“Oh nothing darling, just telling Sesshomaru how a blow-job is really supposed to feel.” Kagura’s face turned beet red with either fury or embarrassment at my audacity and I gave Sesshomaru a brilliant smile as thanks before pushing past Kagura. I probably just fucked up the rest of my stay here, but hey, at least I’ll have fun torturing people.
