"Run Kagome-sama!" The taller girl urged her friend and hime forward through the fortress and past the ongoing battle, their usually swift and graceful movements jerking with fear and adrenaline.
They ran through the long corridors, cutting through large, ornately decorated rooms. The fortress shook with every blast from the battle raging outside its walls. The princess skidded to a halt by one of the small windows, her breath catching in her throat at the carnage she saw. Her friend and bodyguard grabbed her arm and forced her to continue running, not wanting to risk losing the only chance her race had for survival.
"Yuka! I must fight, I'm the only one with the power to stop this! We have to protect our home!" The raven haired hime cried as they came to a stop at the end of a corridor.
Yuka quick pushed a large stone back into the wall and watched as a large portion of barrier ground back to reveal a dimly lit, narrow staircase. Without thinking they began hurtling down the staircase a breakneck speed, the need to preserve their lives subconsciously taking over.
They slammed to a stop in front of a large metal door, Yuka turned and with sorrowful eyes she said "Kagome-sama, you must survive. Your family line must carry on through you, you are the last Higurashi, you are the last guardian for the Shikon no Tama. You must survive Narukus attack."
Kagome nodded, sadly remembering how her mother had all but screamed for her to leave the battle grounds. She had been cut down as she watched her daughter flee. Kagome had watched as her protector, Hojou, had been killed by one of Narukus demons. He had shouted the order for Yuka, Kagomes lady in waiting and second wave of defense, to take command. She had stepped up and bravely lead her charge to the vault, now Kagome had to enter in the key codes that would ultimately save their race.
She quickly pushed three sets of codes and then stood back, three, large and thick metal doors slid open in succession of one another. When the third and final door slid into the wall, a large metal chamber was revealed. The chamber stood ten feet high and was twenty feet in width, it was lit with a strange blue light and it contained three rows of large glass tubes. Each tube was free standing and stood at a height of eight feet, each of the glass chamber had a small keypad set on its front and a metal band that wrapped around the tube from one side of the keypad to the other.
The teenagers stepped into the room and without looking back Kagome raised her hand and the large metal doors slid shut. She ran to the first row of glass chambers and started to press the glowing buttons on one, hoping to the Gods that she would be able to activate it. It's door sprung open and she stepped inside, then it happened.
Something outside of the chamber slammed into the thick doors with such force that they dented in. Yuka ran to Kagomes chamber pushing the hime inside and slamming the glass front shut, she quickly tapped in the command codes and watched as a thin blue vapor began to pour into the glass cylinder. Kagomes red-brown eyes became panicked as she watched Yuka back away, this, she thought, might be the last moment of my life.
Her eyes widen as the large metal doors burst out of the walls and sailed through the air, one crashed through a glass chamber beside the one Kagome was occupying. Yuka held up her hand and tried to channel her power into a force strong enough to protect herself and the hime, but she knew the effort would be wasted. Her left hand drifted down to the small laser gun that rested on the hip of her oilskinned breeches, hoping that it would at least be able to hold whatever was coming through off long enough for the princess to go into suspended animation.
A cloaked man entered the metal room, the girl grabbed her gun, and he raised his hand. A strong pulse of green energy coursed from his hand and she fell to the ground, her life-force siphoned from her body.
Kagome screamed as she watched her bodyguard fall, the cloaked man began taking slow, measured steps towards her glass chamber, she was next. Kagome pushed her fear aside, she concentrated hard on the gift inside of her, she focused her mind and powers on the powerful jewel that hung around her neck.
The jewel began to glow a soft purple beneath the tight bodice of her riding dress, slowly the light grew brighter, seeping into to Kagomes vulnerable form. She began to pulse with the building energy and Naraku tried to move closer to her. He had to stop her before she released her power, he raised his hand and tried to focus his energy, but before he could release his power on the girl, she seemed to explode with light.
A wave of bright, purple light swept through the room, turning Narakus body to dust and pushing his soul out into the world without a vessle to keep it safe. The wave of light coursed through the fortress and it's surrounding lands, cutting down the evil army that had slaughtered all of the Higurashis' people. The light spread over the earth and in that one moment everything was right. Slowly though, it dissipated and the world settled.
In the metal room, deep beneath the Higurashi Fortress, Kagome breathed a sigh of relief and gave into the vapors that were asking her to drift into a deep sleep. Her red-brown eyes, now more of a purple-red glazed over and she leaned against the slanted rear of the glass tube. Her last conscious thought before she drifted in a dreamless slumber was, Please let me wake up...
