Bleed!!
Don't own Inuyasha and Co. A/N at end of the story.
She had been a prisoner for so long. So long she could not remember what the sky looked like anymore. She could not remember the feeling of the sun on her face or the grass beneath her feet.
All she knew was the gray of the cell walls, the voices that yelled out during the night, the screams, the questions…and the pain. The pain was a constant companion but she loved when it came because it was when he came.
She rocked back and forth humming a little song that rang sweetly in the echoing room her long black hair trailing down her back and across the floor. She'd never let the visitors cut her hair, each time they reached for it she'd look at them with her dark blue eyes and smile. The folding knifes they brought to trim her hair made her think of him and so she would get happy. Her smile would scare them though and quickly they'd flee until at last they stopped coming.
She'd been alone for a while now, she couldn't remember the last time she'd eaten anything but then again it was hard for her to remember much of anything.
"Little girl so blond and beautiful,"She sing softly as she stood and made her way to the door of her room. "Screams so sweetly in the night." She pressed on the lock of the door and shoved hard snapping the lock. Her smile was sweet and gentle as she pushed the door open the rest of the way.
The hall stretched in both directions for quite a ways and she finally saw a color besides white. A large blue sign hung on the wall with the figure of a running man. She touched it reverently loving the color against the white of the wall.
What else made such pretty colors?
She opened another door with her handy strength and stared at the young man whose arms were tied behind his back. He wasn't moving and she didn't know if he was dead but there was another pretty color in here.
Red…
His forehead and parts of the wall were splattered with the pretty, pretty color. She smiled singing more of her song. "Blood dripping oh so gently onto the dirty floor. Poor little girl, didn't see the axe. Didn't see the man, poor little girl. Oh so beautiful blond and red." She wandered up and down the hallway opening each of the doors, sometimes the people in them moved, sometimes they ran from the room, many did nothing but watch her however.
Finally she heard her name shouted down the hall and turned her smile widening as he approached her. He was the only one who cared for her.
"Kagome!"
Ahhh…he said it, her name. She loved to hear him say her name, even when it was under her own screaming, when he pronounced her name a smile would spread across her face. He came forward needle in hand to force her back to her room while other people dressed like him tried to calm the other special people who were now free thanks to her.
She moved towards him and her hands reached out only to freeze midway as a new voice cut across the screams and the cries of the specials. Where have you gone Kagome?
She felt tears leak from her eyes and she dug her fingers into her hair as time slowed down. He was reaching for her and people were running back and forth between them.
'Did I go somewhere?'
Kagome! Where are you?
She could see him coming closer and instead of moving toward him as she usually did she began to back away. Love was not clutching in her heart anymore…it was fear and hate. The blue of the sign mocked her, its cheerful man running was almost telling her to run as well.
'Here…I am here. Who are you?'
Kagome…its Inuyasha. Come back.
Her head snapped back, her hair flying in all directions revealing her bare, bruised, scarred and still beautifully supple body. Clothing was unknown to the special of a moment ago. But Kagome was coming back.
"Naraku…" Her voice came out in the same sing song voice that she'd been singing of the murdered girl.
"Yes Kagome…It's your Naraku." He said coming closer. When he was just out of reach Kagome snapped her head to him, her eyes dilating until there was very little blue left. In her mind she could see the red again, the man's blood splattered on the walls, her blood after one of his experiments, blood….blood…BLOOD!
"BLEED!!" Kagome shouted and the room began to bleed. Doctors and nurses and the other freaks that Naraku had gotten to torture her and the other 'special' people began to bleed slowly at first, then faster and faster. They bleed from cuts from the specials, their noses, their mouths, their eyes and ears. Nothing was spared as blood flew drenching everyone and everything. Naraku was the last to fall his eyes staring in frantic awe at Kagome.
"You are the Jewel." He whispered still trying to touch her.
"Die." Kagome whispered backing away. Naraku's eyes closed and he hit the ground hard.
Kagome looked at all the people she'd freed and her mind began to finally rise from the drug induced haze it had been in for the last long while. Special, Naraku's word for the 'patients' in this lab. The rodents more like, because they had special powers. She remembered now, the words he'd say while he poked and prodded, cut and sliced, that they had powers, powers unlike he'd ever seen and he was looking for a Jewel, the Shikon Jewel, the strongest and greatest of the powers.
She stepped over Naraku's body and studied the straightening people who all looked around in confusion and fear as well. The drugs were gone from their minds as well. She kept walking, straight down the hall and out the door to feel the sunshine on her face.
Jewel? She began to laugh as her face tilted up the sky. She ignored the blood covering her and tugging her hair heavily down her back to trail behind her on the ground.
Where are you Kagome?
The long forgotten voice persisted in her mind and she began to walk, following the tug of her mind to the location of the voice, uncaring of the trail of people who followed her reverently.
She began to hum once again then her voice carried over the crowd behind her. "I might have saved a little trouble for the next girl…"
Alright...I don't know exactly what was going through my mind as I wrote this I have to say. I just kept seeing Kagome dark and deranged. So it developed into this. I don't know if I am going to make this longer but I might. The darkness is appealing to my stressed out state.
Explainations: Kagome is in a labratory where Naraku has been experimenting on her and others who showed 'magical' or 'psychic' abilities, searching for what is called the Shikon Jewel, what he believes to be the gene that is the cause of the powers, but is in fact the leader of the psychic people by nature. She remembers nothing of her previous life nor who she really is. Only her own name. Suddenly she breaks free and with the words of someone she once knew the drugs are slammed from her body giving her her memory. She uses her magic, which is the ability to make people bleed, stop bleeding, or clean the blood of toxins, etc, on the people who hurt her and kill them all. Then she leaves and searches for Inuyasha who she can hear in her head and feel with her magic.
Let me know if you want me to continue this into a full fledged story or not. I have to say with all the other stories I'm writing I'll need at least 5 reviews to make me consider writing more. No I'm not a review whore or I'd say 15. But if I get five I know that there is actual interest in this.
Anyway enough rambling. READ and REVIEW and let me know if you want more.
