I know this might have taken a while to actually post up here, seeing as I told all of you who read The Ninetailed Miko I would be starting another story. What can I say; I'm a lazy ass. Hopefully you'll like this crossover.
Chapter 1
The last thing Kagome remembered was going on a class trip with her classmates. Ayumi, Eri, Yuka and her, along with the rest of her classmates were visiting a local shrine; gathering information on a legend they were studying in class; and no, it was not the legend of the shikon. Anyway, as the group was exploring the forest area surrounding the shrine, demons appeared out of no where. It totally killed Kagome's theory of demons being extinct; seeing as they were some very real demons trying to kill her at the moment.
But before Kagome could do something productive, she was knocked out and everything went black.
Kagome was now currently staring at very grimy walls and a pair of cold cell bars in front of her. It was actually pretty hard to make out at first; she supposed the demon who knocked her out had hit her a little too hard.
The walls looked as if they hadn't been washed in months. Hell, they probably haven't been washed in years. The little voice in Kagome's head was telling her that it didn't matter if it was dirty, it was a jail cell (or at least a cell meant to keep her captive), it's not like anyone was actually supposed to clean it. Hell, whoever put her in her was probably ordered to not clean the cell.
As if the walls weren't dirty enough, there appeared to be what she supposed was blood on the jail cells; probably meant as a warning to those who were unfortunate enough to end up here that they didn't tolerate shit around here.
The ground wasn't any better.
She didn't know what was littering it, but it was not pleasant feeling. Along with dirt and grime, she supposed what was old remnants of feces was mixed up with it. And lets not forget the oh so wonderful blood. It seemed to be a favorite of the interior decorator.
"Kagome, are you awake?"
Ayumi, along with all her other friends, were huddled close together next to her. They looked horrible. All the girls complexions were extremely pale, there hair was a mess, and there clothes looked as if they experienced a hurricane.
But most of all they looked lost; lost, helpless, and scared.
These girls were never meant to be exposed to these kinds of conditions. They were brought up as any other normal human was; blind to the cold reality of the world, the reality that demons really exist, the reality that bad things can happen and will happen, the reality that your best friend could betray in a second. The reality that none of them knew existed, and should never have to have been exposed to.
It was then that Kagome decided that she would have to be their light; their light to lead the way in dark times. She has after all been exposed to these kinds of conditions many times; with her being the main target for kidnappings. Being kidnapped had become an everyday occurrence to her.
Kagome would have to be the one to lead all of these people out of here. To help them escape.
Its times like these that Kagome was glad that she was trained by Sesshomaru, the master of all things perfect. Way back when, well technically some 500 years ago, Kagome, surprisingly, was able to make friends with the cold Taiyoukai. It started out weird, as all things do, with them being exact opposites and all. But eventually they got the hang of it. Sesshomaru and she now consider each other kin; brother and sister. Then one day Sesshomaru saw how much she sucked when it came to close-range combat and ordered that she was to be training under him from then on out.
Those were the worst two years of her life.
First, she would have to get up at the break of dawn; she was never a morning person, and she would be forced to go without breakfast and train till noon. Training consisted of fighting nonstop, with multiple weapons and fists. After a brief lunch, Kagome would again endure this training till dinner, which started at eight at night. After dinner she would be able to relax and sleep, and when she woke, it would all start over again.
It may have been torturous, but the results were very much welcomed.
"Yes, I'm awake. Are you guys ok?"
The girls looked as if they were going to cry, and in fact, they did. Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka, along with multiple other girls, raced over to her and started to cry all over her. Kagome heard a few muffled "I'm scared", "I don't want to die", and "I want my mommy". If this wasn't a life or death situation, it would have been comical. She had to calm these girls down; panicking wasn't going to get them anywhere.
"You guys calm down. Everything's going to be all right. I have a plan to get us out of here, but you have to be brave and do exactly as I say, got it?"
To be honest, Kagome didn't have a plan at all. But for the sake of keeping her friends calm, she would pretend she did.
The girls looked up at Kagome and nodded their heads in agreement while drying their tears in the process. If anyone could get them out of this situation, it would be Kagome. So after releasing Kagome, the girls moved back to sit along the wall once again, awaiting Kagome's orders.
"Now, I want you guys to stay here after I find a weak spot in the bars. I'm going to scout on ahead and find a way out. Once I find our escape route, I'll come back for you, got it?"
The girls once again nodded their heads in agreement and huddled together for warmth, waiting till Kagome returned. Kagome got up from her position on the floor and made her way over to the bars. From far away they looked like any normal cell door that you would find in a jail, but on closer inspection, the bars were imbued with pretty strong youki; probably a precaution for the humans. Even if a human knew how to escape a normal holding cell, the youki would prevent them from passing.
But whoever these demons were, forgot that humans can also have powers; no matter how rare it is in this day and age. In Kagome's case, she had her miko powers. It would make quick work of this jail cell. Considering how effective it was against youkai and there youki.
The only problem was that her friends, along with her classmates, were a few feet away from her. Kagome had to figure out a way to break through the jail cell, without letting them find out she had miko powers. That would lead to a bunch of unwanted questions.
If only she had something to transfer her powers into; something small enough to pick the lock with.
That's it!
"Hey. Do any of you have a bobby pin I could borrow?"
(A.N.: a bobby pin is one of those metal hair clip things, right? I never use them so I wouldn't know. xD)
Ayumi came over to Kagome and handed her the bobby pin that was holding her hair back a while ago. She would help Kagome in anyway she could, even if she had to mess up her hair to do it.
"Thanks."
Kagome took the bobby pin and twisted it so that it would end up being straight. Turning away from her classmates so that her back was facing them, Kagome sent some of her miko powers into the pin and inserted it into the lock of the jail cell door. Being as discrete as she could, Kagome transferred her powers from the pin to the jail cell, turning the lock, along with most of the area surrounding it, to ash.
Kagome just hoped that her classmates wouldn't take notice of it.
Coincidentally hiding the hole in the jail cell with her body, Kagome turned once again to her classmates.
"Ok. I'm going to go and scout the area now. You guys just stay put, alright?"
After checking to make sure everyone promised they wouldn't try venturing out on their own, Kagome slid out of the jail cell and took a look around. The area outside of the holding cell wasn't any better then the cell itself. It consisted of four dirt walls that were covered in all kinds of grime. Judging that the walls were made of mostly dirt and stone, and considering how cold it was in here, Kagome assumed that they were underground.
Surprisingly, there weren't any guards keeping watch over them; better for Kagome that way. At least she didn't have to go against a demon at the get-go.
On the far wall there was a sword help up by a few hooks. She supposed that was for the guards to use against the prisoners if they ever escaped. Kagome walked over to the sword and picked it up off of the wall. If she was going to try and escape from here, she was going to need a weapon. Her friends would be surprised to find out that she actually knew how to use it. The sword itself was a little heavy, but it would have to do the job.
Feeling out with her powers, Kagome was surprised to find out that this area was swarming with demons. In fact, the only human auras she felt at the moment were those of her classmates and herself. Luckily for her, the demons power levels were nothing compared to those in the feudal era. These demons were scum compared to demons like Sesshomaru and Naraku. They hardly had any power at all. She didn't think they were very smart either.
Or it could just be that these demons were considered strong in there terms, and demons like Sesshomaru, Naraku, and herself, though she isn't demon, were just overly powerful. Kagome just hoped these demons ego's weren't as big as there population was.
Now how was she going to go about this? She could just kill all those in her way without any trouble. After all, any one who dares to harm those under her protection will pay. And by kidnapping her classmates and herself, they have signed their own death sentence; death by her hands.
Kagome cautiously made her way over to the door. Once she got there, Kagome felt out to count how many demons were outside of the door. There were two demons standing guard right outside the door, another two demons a little further past them, and about three demons at the end of the hall; at least what she suspected was a hall, considering their positions. Kagome surmised that surprising them first would be the best way to getting the upper hand.
Kagome picked up a rock and threw it at one of the chairs, affectively knocking it over. That should be enough to lure the guards in here. Hiding behind the door after it flung open, Kagome waited for the right moment to attack.
The guards stormed into the room and inspected the area. All that seemed to be out of place was a chair, how it managed to get toppled over, they didn't know. They assumed one of the humans might have gotten out and tried to escape, well they would teach those rotten humans.
Before the demons had a chance to open the cell door, Kagome flew out of her hiding place and quietly, but swiftly cut the first demons head off. Without wasting any time, she ran towards the next demon and severed his torso. By this time, the demons that were still alive noticed the attack and tried to defend themselves, but it didn't last for long. Soon enough Kagome was standing in the middle of a pile of the demons remains. The only thing that would alert you to who the culprit was, were a few blood spatters that managed to land on Kagome's clothes and face.
Unfortunately, for Kagome's classmates, the ambush had been right in front of their cell. They had witnessed everything, and they were speechless; on the verge of terrified. The girl that they knew, the girl who was supposed to be sick and weak, had just mercilessly killed those…monsters without a second thought. The Kagome they saw was a killer; a ruthless killer.
Kagome expected the stunned faces of her classmates. It's not everyday humans see someone kill somebody else. But, in her world, it was a normal occurrence. She has taken so many lives, demon or not, that she starts to question her supposed innocence. It's gotten to the point in time that she actually enjoys the thrill of the chase and the kill. All of this is necessary for her to survive in the world she lives in.
Steeling her eyes, Kagome looked her classmates in the eyes.
"Killing is going to become a natural occurrence from now on. These demons care not whether we live or die, they could always kidnap more. In order for us to survive, we have to kill those who threaten our existence. I will be the only one doing the killing, seeing as I am trained to kill. There is no other way of escape. Do you understand?"
If possible her classmates looked even more terrified and lost; but non-the-less, her classmates slowly nodded their heads in agreement, though they may not fully understand. With one last look at her class mates, Kagome made her way out into the hall, steeling herself and her emotions, preparing for the battle that was sure to come.
