I do not own

Kagome started to stir in her sleep when she felt the morning light hit her face and groan in annoyance as she moved to her other side and buried her face into her boyfriends' chest. She could sense him smirking in his sleep and pulled her closer to him. Oh how they wish they could stay like this all day. But with his work that would only happen once in a while.

"We have to get up soon." He said

"No, sleep." She mumbled

He laughed a little and that started to wake her up.

"You didn't have any nightmares again tonight. That's a good sign." She said looking at him

Will Graham looked down at her and gave her a small smiled and moved to his other hand to caress her cheek.

"You haven't either. That makes it a month now." He said "As for me I think it's because you're here with me. You keep darkness away. My Angel."

"I love it when you call me that." She smiled

He leaned down and kissed her until it turned into a passionate one. She squealed in excitement when he rolled on top of her. He chuckled as well as he wrapped her legs around him and place himself inside of her.

After their little session in the bedroom, they both got up (sadly) and got ready for the morning. When he was taking a shower she made breakfast for them, some French Toasts with sausage, cooked potatoes and then started feeding the dogs once she was done. When Will was ready he sat down with Kagome they started eating. Once they were done he kissed her on the cheek and left for work. Then once she was ready she headed to her first class. She was almost finished with her degree in becoming an anthropologist and the classes were tough but had she learned to handle it. Plus it was close to the holiday break so she'll have some alone time with Will soon. When she was done with second class she had a long lunch break until her third class had to start she headed to Will's work to drop off his lunch that she made him. She made it in time as he just finished his lecture to the class.

"Hey honey." She smiled

"Hey baby." He smirked

He kissed her lips and looked around the classroom before giving her a knowing pervert smirk.

"Will." She laughed as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close as he started to kiss down her jaw." What if someone see us?"

"Lucky them." He smirked

He continued kissing down her neck as he pushed her against the desk. She laughed again as he lifted her up on the desk and he started roaming his hands over her body. She knew they would have gone further but sadly someone cleared their throat.

"Ahem." A voice said "Is this a bad time?" There was a hint of amusement in it.

"Actually yes, yes it is." Will groaned

Kagome laughed and lightly pushed him away so she could get off the desk.

"No not at all. I was just about to leave." She smiled

Will silently pleaded her to stay but she had two more classes left and had an appointment to go to. But she promised him that they'll continue this tonight. When she left Will glared at the man who was trying hard not to laugh.

"You better have a good reason for ruining our moment.

Kagome was very happy about this appointment because it was the last time she gets to see her psychiatrist. Dr. Hannibal Lector. His aura reminded her too much of…Him. He wore a mask perfectly well, that scarily reminded her of Sesshomaru's and unlike the great dog demon she knew this man had dark secrets. She could sense it from his aura. Many times she had tried to get another psychiatrist but none would take her, almost like he planned it and that's what scared her. She had prayed to the gods that his darkness wouldn't want her light like the last one did. She didn't want to go through that again. But now that she has gotten better and her nightmares are completely gone she no longer had to see him. She waited patiently behind his desk as he wrote down her form and she was able to go back into the world. Time seemed to go slow as he did this and a part of her wondered if he was doing this on purpose.

"Here you are Kagome. As much as it pains me to see you go, it is good to see that you have recovered." He said giving her a kind smiled

She had to force herself to smile back and took her form as he handed it to her.

"Thank you Dr. Lector, for helping me." She said

He escorted her to the private door to leave and secretly took a whiff of her scent. Green tea mix with Cherry blossoms. Ever since he had met her scent drove him crazy at times. Not to mention the light that surrounded her was hard to resist. As he got to know her he found that not only was she beautiful but she was the most selfless person he had ever met and was very loyal to those that she cares about. Normally he would stay away from those that had a light like hers but he couldn't. He wanted her. He wanted her as his. But because of their doctor and patient policy he couldn't act on them and he didn't want her seeing another psychiatrist so he kept her close. There was also the whole boyfriend she was with. With that in mind he had to calm himself and not let his rage get to him and kill the man…yet. He had to form a plan to win her over somehow and get rid of the competition. He had one last appointment and he was free to go home to fantasize about his little cage bird. A dark smirk was placed on his lips at that thought. He believed that her name fit her perfectly, because she will be his cage bird soon.

When Kagome was finished the last of her assignments she started making dinner when Will called saying he was on his way home. When he came she couldn't stop herself from smiling when he brought home another stray. She helped Will wash him since the poor thing was covered in dirt and dry him up.

"Winston, this is everybody." Will said to the new dog as he wrapped his arm around Kagome

"Everybody, this is Winston." Kagome said

Some of the dogs started to bark out of jealousy but being the alphas in the pack both Kagome and Will settle them down. When they were done they ate dinner together and went straight to bed. As hours gone by Kagome stir from her sleep as she felt Will shaking in his sleep. She knew he was having a nightmare about the case he saw. So she placed her hand on the side of his head and purified the darkness inside his mind. Once he stopped shaking and he turned his head, still sleeping, towards her and sighed peacefully. She knew the job he does could put him in a dark place in his mind and she knew it's starting to leak out of the cage. She will do everything in her power to make sure he doesn't break and turn into someone she feared the most.

The next two days were pretty normal for Kagome until she got a call from Will saying that Jack wanted to see them both. She didn't quite understand why Jack would want to see her. But something told her that she wasn't going to like it.

"Did he say why he wanted me to join you in this case?" She asked "You don't think it's because…"

"No, I already told Jack. I don't want you out there if it was." Will said holding her hand. "I think it's more because I mention that when I'm with you I'm steady, I don't let the visions get to me."

"In other words I'm safety line." She said with a hint of humor

Will stopped them and looked her in the eye. She was the only one that he'll give eye contact with.

"You're more than that to me. If you don't want to do this you don't have to. You made so much progress and I don't want this case to infect you if it brought back memories." Will said

"You are the reason I made it through. Like I am for you." She said placing a hand on his cheek before they started walking again. "Besides, something tells me you want me to say no to Jack so I can show my temper."

"Oh man, I remember that day. When you yelled at him you made him look like a little boy that was being scowled by his mother." Will laughed

Kagome tried to stop herself but she couldn't and laughed as well.

"I have been told that I have quite the temper. He should have backed off, you don't want to get on my bad side." She smiled

Will just laughed as they continued their way to Jacks office. When they did her smiled faded when she felt another aura in Jacks' office and it was very familiar. Someone she had hope to never see again.

"Dr. Lector, this is Will Graham, special investigation. He's been working on this case with me." Jack said and paused when the men shook hands. "And this is Kagome Higurashi."

"Looks like we meet again Kagome." Hannibal said as he brought her hand to his lip to kiss.

"Hannibal Lector, this is…very surprising." She said

She wanted to take her hand back but for some reason he held on to it. That got Will's attention and understood why Kagome was always nervous around this guy.

"I see you two already know each other." Jack said

"Dr. Lector was my Psychiatrist." Kagome said and finally got her hand back

"Oh yes, Dr. Bloom is who assign you to him that day." Jack said "The reason you here Kagome is because Will tells me that you help bring him back from dark places. I hope you don't mind if we could use your help? Please sit down."

There were three chairs in front of Jacks desk and Will sat in the middle so he could be between Kagome and Hannibal. Kagome smiled at Will as he knew how uncomfortable she was with this. Hannibal saw this and had to stop himself from glaring at Will. Then he walked over to the map and acted like nothing had happened.

"Tell me then, how many confessions?" He asked

"Twelve dozen last time I checked." Jack answered "None of them knew details. Until this morning, when everyone knew the details. Some genius in Duluth PD took picture of Elise Nichols' body and shared it with a few close friends. Then Freddy Lounds ran it on ."

"Tasteless." Will commented

Kagome silently agreed, that woman just enjoined getting into business. One day it's going to get someone killed.

"Do you have trouble with taste?" Hannibal asked

"My thoughts are often not tasty." Will said a bit darkly, not looking Hannibal in the eye.

"Nor mine. No effective barriers." Hannibal said

"I build forts." Will stated

"Association, come quickly." Hannibal countered as he sat in the chair next to him.

"So do forts." Will answered as he took a sip of coffee that Jack handed him.

Hannibal seemed to notice that the fact Will didn't look anyone in the eye.

"Not too fond of eye contact, are you?" Hannibal said

Will looked at Kagome in the eye again to make a point and they smiled lovingly at each other. Hannibal noticed this and his eyes slightly narrowed. Then Will turned towards Hannibal with a dark look.

"Eyes are distracting. You see too much, you don't see enough. And it's hard of focus when you're thinking, those whites are really whites or they must have hepatitis or is that a burst vein? So I try to avoid eyes whenever possible. Except for Kagome." Will said looking back at Hannibal

"I imagine what you see and learn touches everything else in your mind. Your values and decency are present yet shocked at your associations, appalled at your dreams. No forts in the bone arena of your skull for things you love." Hannibal said

'Oh, bad move.' Kagome thought 'Will does not like to be psychoanalyzed.'

Will looked at him, not too please at all.

"Whose profile are you working on? Whose profile is he working on?" Will said, though the last part was wore to Jack

"I'm sorry Will. Observing is what we do. I can't shut mine off any more than you can shut yours off." Hannibal said apologetically

Will was still not pleased.

"Don't psychoanalyze me. You won't like me when I'm psychoanalyzed." He said standing up and took Kagomes' hand to help her stand. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a lecture to give. About psychoanalyzing."

Before they passed through the door, she turned her head back to say good-bye to Jack and Hannibal. When she saw Hannibal he was watching them like a hawk. She could sense rage in him when Will took her away.
