Chapter 17: Breaking Out Part One
"Seriously this is not funny."
"I think it's hilarious."
"I cannot believe this is why I am here, I knew something was up when you didn't let me look inside of the bag."
"I didn't let you look inside the bag because there are guns, and guns are bad for Miroku to use." Sesshomaru teased.
"ARE YOU SURE IT ISN'T BECAUSE OF THIS!?" Miroku shouted as he...or should I say she...dashed out of the utility closet in the level A holding cell. He wore a long tattered dress, one of the uniforms a previous slave had one upon arrival to Inuyasha's Manor. A worn out brown wig rested on his head, and to top it all off ripped sandals fitted on his feet completed the outfit.
"YOU HAVE THE LONG HAIR WHY AREN'T YOU THE GIRL?!" He yelled.
"Unfortunately my ass does not have the sway your girlish hips have." Sesshomaru replied.
"What! I do not have a girlish sway!" Miroku said as he walked in a full circle.
Sesshomaru gave a low wolf whistle and winked "after this maybe I'll show you the inside of my shower from my point of view."
"Not funny Sesshomaru. How in the hell is this suppose to help us save Kagome and the others?" Miroku asked.
"You'll have to trust me on this one, it is apart of the plan." Sesshomaru said as he knelt down over the map. "You're going to infiltrate the rooms around Inuyasha's holding cell, hoping of course that Jinkotsu gave us the right information but no one ever knows with that guy; but anyway you are going to get in, start a riot, and get out. Once your out head back here and wait inside of the vent. If everything goes well me and Inuyasha should meet up with you maybe 10 minutes after you start that riot. You got it?"
"Yeah yeah I got it..."
"So what's bugging you then?" Sesshomaru asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well I was just wondering...if this dress...makes my hips look small?" He said turning his back towards Sesshomaru.
"God I hope your joking." Sesshomaru groaned.
"Oh but Sesshy I want to be your only drug!" Miroku moaned.
"Stop. Now. Please. I beg of you."
"Got 100 bucks?"
"No."
"Oh sesshy have you been working out?"
"I have two hundred cash if you kill me after this."
"Make it three and I'll let you pull the trigger yourself."
"How about you get your ass out there, we have a plan to follow."
"Right..I'm ready.." Miroku said with a deep breathe.
"One...two..."
30 minutes later...
"Buona Serrrraaaa Kaaagommmee" Kikyo sung as she twirled into the room. "Hows the slutty little servant?"
"Hows the devious evil queen?" Kagome replied, her hands resting weakly against her body. Her face was pale and riddled with pain, her stomach yearning for something to digest. It felt like it had been days yet she was only left in the room for half an hour, a long half an hour at that.
"Oh she is as happy as ever. I was just coming in to see how you were, because it's only a matter of time before you get to see Inuyasha. However I doubt he'll remember you, his operation is schedule to start in 45 minutes." Kikyo smiled, her hands resting delicately on her perfectly round hips.
"What are you going to do to him!" Kagome yelled.
"We're just going to 'readjust' him." Kikyo replied.
"He'll never forget me! He loves me! And I love him! So good luck Kikyo because I know what scares you!" Kagome cried out.
"Oh yeah!?" Kikyo yelled back "And what's that!?"
"You're scared of me! Because you know damn well I can take you! That's why you've locked me away, left me to starve! Because if I was well enough I could kill you! You're a heartless gutless woman who hid behind the arms of another man when the man in front of you was willing to give you everything but you gave him nothing! And when he stopped loving you, you snapped! And now more than ever you feel threatened because You know damn well I could win Inuyasha over you any day!"
"That's not true!" Kikyo screamed as she slapped Kagome hard against her cheek.
Kagome smiled and brought her gaze up to the heavy breathing Kikyo. "It isn't is it? Why would you need to erase his memory if he loved you?"
Kikyo's eyes widened as her face grew a bright red. Her lips trembled for a moment, and just as she brought her hands into tight fists the door opened to reveal a guard with a scared expression.
"Mrs. Kikyo..."
"YES WHAT IS IT! CAN'T YOU SEE I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING!" Kikyo screamed as she whipped her whole body around.
"Mrs. Kikyo...Inuyasha...has escaped.."
Her eyes widened for a moment, her lips tightening into a thin line before a smile came out of it. She began to laugh, her body hunching over to stifle it. "Lock this little slut up, I want her head on a silver platter in the next 30 minutes. And make sure Inuyasha sees it, he will learn to love me as it will cost her her life."
"You can damn well bet you'll have to take my life! Because if I'm even half alive believe me I will make sure you are 100 percent dead!" Kagome screamed as she struggled against the guards, who now had her by the shoulders.
"Alright that's enough out of you!" One hissed as he threw his fist into the pit of her stomach. She coughed, fought, and fell against the cold ground as they continued to over power her.
"Yeah.." The other guard grunted "Don't make us...do anything you...ugh...wouldn't want...us to...do." Kagome fought harder against them, her strength clearly wasted in this moment.
"We'll make it quick Model 227, I promise. You're death will only feel like hell for a minute or so." The first guard smiled as he grabbed a switched blade from his back pocket, flicking the knife up. "She wants your head, but I say give her your whole body instead. May make this whole experience better." He laughed as he brought the knife up her shirt, tearing it in half. Kagome screamed and kicked, her left leg nailing the second guard right in the face. Blood started to spew from his nose as he tumbled back.
"You little bitch!" He yelled as he clenched his nose "You broke it you spineless slut!"
"Shit Wyoming are you okay?" The first guard asked.
"I'm fucking fine Hikaru! Just kill the bitch already!" Wyoming yelled.
Just as Hikaru went to stab Kagome in the chest her left arm came around to hook Hikaru right in the jar. The adrenaline in her body only pulsed enough to give her some energy, but without food or water for how ever long she had to suffer was taking a toll on her worse than ever.
"Agh you bitch!" Hikaru cried as he grabbed his jar, clicking it around a bit. "You have a good fight in you, maybe we deserve more than your death now!"
"No Hikaru just kill her! She is more trouble than she is worth!" Wyoming muttered.
"Yeah but what if- AGH!" Hikaru cried as Kagome's teeth sunk into the bulk of his leg. "FUCKING BITCH LET GO LET GO LET GO!" He yelled as he brought his fists down on her back. "GET HER OFF WYOMING!" He yelled as the blood from his leg down onto the concrete floor. Kagome bit down harder and harder, till she could hear the crying and whimper of Hikaru loud and clear. She felt the grasp of hard hands on her shoulders, the yanking only further inflicting the pain on Hikaru.
"STOP THAT JUST GET HER TO LET GO!" Hikaru yelled.
On cue Wyoming brought the bulk of his fist down on Kagome's head, her body going limp against Hikaru. He jumped up and backed away from her body, tearing a piece of clothe from his shirt to press on the wound.
"We better make this quick-"
"ATTENTION ALL STAFF! THERE HAS BEEN A BREACH ON LEVEL A! ALL HOLDING CELLS AND DETAINMENT CHAMBERS HAVE BEEN OPENED! GUARDS ARE BEING OVER POWERED BY THE SLAVES! ALL PERSONAL MUST HELP! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! I REPEAT HEAD TO LEVEL A!"
"Shit...should we go?" Hikaru asked.
Wyoming looked over to the unconscious Kagome, "She's not going anywhere. Let's lock the door and finish the job later."
"Why don't we just kill her now-"
"No, you heard Kikyo. She wants this done a certain way. We don't have time and they need us now." Wyoming answered his body already out of the room.
Hikaru looked back at Kagome and winced "You're lucky." He spat, leaving just a moment after.
The heavy door closed with a loud crash in the room, but Kagome wouldn't hear it. She would only hear the sounds of her dark dreams while the battles ensued almost 3 floors below her. Only faith can tell now as to who will live, and who will die in this riot of the unlucky.
In this revolution of the wronged.
"COME ON MOVE! YOUR FREE LET'S GO!" Miroku yelled as he charged down the hallway, a group of enslaved girls following behind him. "Find the door at the end of the hallway! That should lead you out to the yard, get over the gates and run until you reach a city or town! Go!"
"But what about the guards? Won't they kill us!" One of the girls cried as she ran after him.
"No trust me they are too busy with the other women!" He replied.
"The others? What do you mean Sir?!" Another girl cried.
"My name is Miroku and the women from the other halls wished to stay and fight instead of fleeing, the guards are dealing with them." He said as he turned to start heading back the way they were coming.
"Miroku!" A girl cried as she stepped near him from the crowd of running women "What if I chose to stay and fight too?"
"Me as well!" Another chimed in.
"Make that three more!" A group of girls chimed in as they all stepped behind him.
"I cannot assure your freedom or survival if you stay ladies-"
"I want revenge for what those men did to me, I want to make them suffer. And if I help I may be able to stop this from ever happening again!" The closest girl cried, her frail body shaking with her words. Her hair was meek and dark, shriveled at the ends as it hung dead on her cheeks but the spirit in her eyes roared through flames of glory and strength. How could he say no?
"Stay low and careful, I have orders to follow so I cannot help you but..." He mumbled as he reached into the bulk of his blouse "Take this..." He handed two of the women dull knives, found in a nearby closet he had passed and hid in when the guards were making their rounds. "Use them only when you need to, do not draw too much attention until you regroup with the other women. You have to survive, or else this will all be for nothing."
"It won't be for nothing if at least a few of us can get out alive, the police can't turn their back on us now if there are enough of us." One of the girls replied as she grabbed the knife.
Miroku shook his head at them, turning away while drawing his gun from his side. "If all of you survived, to see your loved ones again, then this all would be for something."
"Perhaps, but making sure our loved ones never have to suffer a fate like this is what I think makes this something."
He couldn't tell which one of them said it, but as he walked away from the five volunteers he though maybe all of them had. Or maybe all of them had thought it.
Or perhaps, maybe he had said it.
But there was no time to think about that now, he had a mission. He had someone to save, and someone he loved.
There was no time to make a mistake.
For Inuyasha.
For Kagome.
For Sesshomaru.
For Rin.
For Sango.
"Sango..are you awake?" A faded voice called in the darkness that plagued Sango's mind.
"Come on Sango...wake up.." The voice grew.
She moaned a bit as a throbbing pain struck the back of her head. "Ugh...nnn..." She mumbled from the back of her throat.
"Good Sango...good...just come to me.."
"Mi...Miroku...?" She asked, her eyes slowly fluttering open.
"No...not Miroku..." The man said as he walked over in front of her. "I'm Jinkotsu...I'm Miroku's friend...I stayed here to wait for you to wake up."
"Where...am...I?" She asked but before he could answer her eyes grew wide and her body jolted out of the chair. "IS THIS-"
'"Shh Shhh! Be quiet! I don't know if any guards are around and-"
"Where are we.." She said as she gritted her teeth.
"We are back in the under ground...slave hull.."
"Why?!" She hissed.
"Because you were captured...only you...but Miroku found you...saved you...well not entirely true Sesshomaru did but-"
"Don't babble! Where are they! I have to help them!" She said as she walked to the door.
"Whoa wait no!" Jinkotsu said as he grabbed her wrist.
"Get off of me!" She said waving her arm free.
"Okay fine but you have to calm down. Miroku and Sesshomaru are trying to save Inuyasha and Kagome and I don't know if you running wild will help them!" Jinkotsu spoke, the fear rising in his throat.
"Well tell me what will help them! What can I do?" She asked.
"You can...uh...you...I don't know...honestly I don't..." He muttered, sulking back against the wall. "I don't know if either of us could help them, for all I know...they...we...it..."
"Jinkotsu." Sango asked with her back facing him. Her hand come up to rub her neck as she stared at the whole in the top part of the wall. "What's that?"
"Oh that...I don't know...Sesshomaru and Miroku broke it I guess to get in here." He said.
"And where does it go?" Sango asked moving over to it.
"I don't know, I gave them my map."
"Well..." She said grabbing a hold of the edges to hoist herself up.
"What if we find out?"
