chapter 2: middle of nowhere
kagome felt her body being pulled in by some kind of force. when she opened her eyes, she was floating in the middle of nowhere.
there was nothing,,, just darkness, and her own body. trying not to lose her mental conscious, she desperately tried to think of a way out.
there must be some kind of exit,, there is no way I am stuck here forever! my friends think I went back to the future so I cant expect any help,, oh kami why does this happen all the time? she fought back a tear as she took a step shakily. she was going to get out of here.
I should try going somewhere. there's nothing to do here anyway. with that thought in mind, she began walking towards kami knows where. as she walked, her footsteps echoed throughout the darkness. when thought she had walked for about 10 minutes, she suddenly heard something, a whisper.
ssht...sssss...
not a whisper, she thought. more like a hiss.. she clutched her arms in fear but walked toward the sound, dreading what might appear. as she got closer to the sound, she could hear the voice more clearly.
then, it hit her. an enormous amount of youkai energy just crashed into her senses. she realized that she was surrounded by thousands, no, millions of hungry, bloodthirsty youkai. but they weren't making any move to attack her.
"miko...the Shikon Miko IS HERE!..SHE HAS ARRIVED..."
"were you the ones who brought me here?" she cried out.
"sssss..ssssss"
she realized that they were laughing at her.
"answer me! let me out of here! where is this place?"
"miko...naive Miko... you have not realized your fate..."
"what do you mean?" she asked.
"you are inside the shiko jewel..."
"what?! let me out!"
"it is not we who have brought you here..miko.. it was the dark one's will and wish that have brought you here.."
"the dark one? who is the dark one?"
"kekekeke...you should know well..."
"you mean,,, NARAKU?"
"sssssssss..."
"we killed him. he's dead," she said firmly.
"ahhh,, but the dark one's wish has bound him to the jewel, thus gaining the power to revive by the jewel..."
"no way. this is nonsense.. I am getting out o here." she said and began running back where she came from. but the voices of youkai did not leave her. they continued to follow her as she continued running.
"miko...your fate is to fight the dark in the Shikon jewel forever...you can never get out from this jewel..."
I refuse to believe that this is my fate! this is just a dream..just a DREAM!" she thought continuously in her mind as she kept running.
suddenly, she was met with a sight that made her realize this..fate...
