LAST TIME:
Kagome went up to her room and layed on her bed. She stared at her ceiling for quite some time before tears fell from her eyes. She curled up into a ball and cried herself to sleep, not knowing about her siblings who were watching her.
PRESENT:
"Kagome...," Rin whispered sympathetically. "There's nothing we can do. Let's just relax until we need to get ready. Leave her alone. I don't want anyone near her door.," Sakiko said pushing them away. Kagome was like her at times. Wanting to be left alone, not liking to cry infront of others.
-Hours later-
Sakiko slipped into Kagome's room and gently shook her awake. Kagome groaned and slowly opened her eyes. She took in Sakiko's clothes. Sakiko was wearing a long sleeved black leotard and black jogging pants. The clothes were tight but allowed her to move normally. "Is it time?," Kagome asked. Sakiko nodded. "It's exactly 10:57.," Sakiko said as Kagome got out of her bed. She put on a black long sleeved leotard and tight black jeans. "Ready?," Sakiko asked. "Yes.," Kagome said quickly putting her hair in a high bun. They walked out of the room and ran down the stairs, meeting the others at the front door. Natso, Najin, Matsuno, and Yoshi were wearing black muscle t-shirts and slightly loose black sweat pants. Sango was in a tight black bodysuit with pink armor around her midriff, shoulders, shins, elbows, and knees. There was a poisonous mask tied around her neck, ready to be pulled up to her mouth if necessary. A sword tied to her waist and a giant boomerang tied to her back. A pouch hung from the sash tied around her waist, holding up the armor, which held smoke bombs. Kagome's face lit up when she saw a bow and quiver of arrows leaning against the wall. She rushed over to them and tied the quiver to her back. She clutched the bow close to her chest before slipping it onto her shoulder. Kagome looked at her brothers and sisters. "Let's end this.," Kagome said strongly. The others nodded and they filed out to the limo that awaited them, Malina already in it.
-11:30 pm-
They arrived outside of the orphanage. The streets were deserted. It was perfect. "Now, remember, Yoshi will be waiting for Ai in the bathroom. Sakina will feign being asleep. Once, she knows Naraku has Ai, she will open her window for you all. Kagome, you will use your powers to hide your weapons but keep them on you. Just like we taught you. You will go to where Naraku and Ai are. Cause a distraction and...," Malina started. "I don't think Kagome should go first.," Natso said. "Why not?!," Kagome exclaimed. "He did this to you as well. What if he reopens old wounds and you either breakdown or lose control of your anger and get hurt? We need you to go last or somtime before last.," Natso explained. Kagome nodded,understanding her brother's logic. "You're right. I will go in last.," Kagome said with a final nod. "Fine. Sango, you go after him first. Then Natso, Matsuno, and Najin. Yoshi, you will get Ai out of there while Naraku is distracted. Kagome, you go in the moment Ai is out. I am trusting all of you with this. If this goes right, then Ai will be part of our family. We have one of us in there and we're gonna get her out.," Malina said. They nodded, catching Malina's eyes with their own .They were determined to win. There was no last minute jitters. This was it. They would their first defeat and rescue.
They sat their silently. Waiting for midnight to come and for Yoshi's signal. It was exactly 11:59. They watched the clocks on their phones as the time changed to midnight. It was long til Yoshi's call followed after and Sakina's window opened. Kagome and Sango climbed onto Najin and Matsuno's backs. They all jumped up to the window. Sango and Kagome climbed down. They each nodded to Sakina before moving about the orphanage. Kagome laid back as they quietly walked down the stairs. As they walked down the stairs, Kagome spotted the door that lead to her old floor. She remembered it perfectly. A thought crossed her mind. Should she? Could she really get away with it? No. Kagome shook her head, erasing the thought from her mind. She had to follow the plan.
They made it down to the first floor where they heard crying coming from a room. "That's the room he always took me in.," Kagome whispered lightly. Her siblings nodded and went towards the door. Yoshi was already at the door, waiting. They all got along side the door. Sango faced the door, lifting her leg into the air. She pulled her mask up and tightened it around her face, before knocking down the door. Naraku was poised above Ai, who had tears in her eyes. He had already started. Sango narrowed her eyes and drew her sword. "Take yourself out or I'll cut it off!," Sango commanded. Naraku pulled himself out of Ai and pulled up his pants. "I'd like to see you try.," Naraku said before running at Sango.
The young demon slayer dodged to the right and swung her sword but Naraku was too fast for her. He knocked her into a wall. Before Sango could fall to the ground, the wall molded around her upper body. Sango struggled and cried out but she couldn't break free. Najin, Natso, and Matsuno charged after Naraku who countered. Yoshi snuck in and scooped up Ai and grabbed her clothes before running as fast as possible out of the room. Kagome watched as all her brothers were smashed into the wall like Sango. The wall molded against them in the same way. They each cursed aloud at their perdicament. Kagome took a deep breath and hid her weapons with her powers. 'I can do this.,' Kagome thought before turning into the room. "Naraku!," Kagome said loudly, gaining Naraku's attention.
"Kagome.," Naraku said smirking. "Let them go, Naraku.," Kagome said. "I can't do that, Kagome. My, have you grown. You are so beautiful.," Naraku floor became like liquid around her feet and wrapped around her legs up to her knees before harding again. Kagome gasped and tried to break free but couldn't. Naraku walked over to her. "You stay away from her!," Matsuno screamed angrily as he growled. Naraku placed a hand on Kagome's cheek. He smirked at Matsuno. "She belongs to me. She always has.," Naraku said turning his attention back to Kagome. Kagome glared at him. "Now, now. You were always my favorite toy.," Naraku said taking off Kagome's hidden weapons. Kagome gasped. 'How did he know?!,' Kagome thought in panic. Kagome felt herself begin to sink as loud footsteps were heard. "Here come the police. Too bad they won't make it here before you're gone, Kagome.," Naraku said as the police entered the tilted her head back in fear as her neck as sinking into the floor. Naraku disappeared. "Kagome!," Sango exclaimed as the wall let her go. Half of Kagome's head was gone. All you could see were her eyes and the tears that leaked out. Sango rushed over to her as fast as possible. And then, she was gone.
"KAGOME!"
Sango's scream was heard throughout the orphanage, loud and clear. Malina heard it outside and rushed inside. Malina ran to the room where she heard crying and banging. What she saw broke her heart. Her children were in tears. Sango was pounding the floor. Malina looked at each of her children before her eyes widened. "Where's Kagome?!," Malina asked. The group of siblings cried even harder. "Mother Malina, Naraku took Kagome.," Sakiko said weakly. Yoshi was holding her close. Ai was curled up in a ball in the corner, crying. "It's all my fault! My fault! If it wasn't for me then she'd still be here!," Ai screamed. Malina pulled the young girl to her feet. Malina looked her in the eye. "Kagome came here to save you. You were her top priority. Nothing else. It is not your fault. Kagome would get very upset if you blamed yourself. We will get her back. I promise.," Malina said. "Ma'am.," a female officer said. Malina turned towards her. "Yes?," Malina asked. "I am Saya Skutchi. You can just call me Saya. What happened here?," Saya asked. The group began to wearily tell what happened.
