Pressing On
As Kagome walked in the door slammed shut behind her. The pitch black the flooded her sense's breaking through her initial stupor and she jumped; letting out a sharp yelp that echoed through the building. Her heart beat quickly as she turned around and tried to force the door open. She pulled and tugged at it but with no success as its sudden immobility made it the equivalent of a wall.
Kagome then hit the door with her fists in a fit of panic, screaming for someone, if anyone was there. But, the only thing that was there to answer her, was the continued silence that accompanied the sound of her struggles. Breathing deeply she looked down at her hands realizing she couldn't see them no matter how close she brought them to her face. But, she noted, she could still feel them shaking. And so, she brought them together to still them taking one more deep breath before turning around and moving on through the temple.
She used her fingers to trace the walls, carefully moving along. This place, she noticed, was much larger inside than it was outside. She was either going crazy walking in circles or the building was expanding somehow. There was the sound of something scuffling in the distance. She listened on and fallowed the noise. It sounded like an animal. It made small yips and scratched the floor.
Then, as she moved closer to the sound she ran into a door with a muffled 'thump'. Her eyes squeezed shut and she flinched bringing her hand to her nose. Kagome let out a sharp hiss at the pain that shot through her as she gently touched the tip of it. When she opened her eyes again there was the smell of incense and alcohol that she didn't notice before. But, most importantly, there was a faint light that grew moderately brighter spilling out from the other side of the door.
