Full House

Chapter 13: Unknown Powers
AN: Okay, if you haven't figured out already, something is changing Kagome. If you REALLY want to know, yes they have been occasionally snogging in some corners if you know what I mean. AND YOU BETTER BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T THEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE READING THIS BECAUSE _I THINK_ IT'S R. And if it's not..^^;;; then, I've got my priorities mixed up.
I noticed a different smell in the air.
It was hanyou.
Inu Yasha?
But where?
I sniffed the air once more.
It seemed to be coming from..Kagome?
I looked at the girl walking silently beside me.
Was she still a human girl?
I observed her closely.
No, she wasn't.
Her ears were pointed, like mine, and her eyes had a more amber streak every time she would glance at me nervously.
Kagome? A hanyou?
I smirked.
'It must have been that fling in the night."
I understood now.
During the "process" Kagome had been morphed into a hanyou.
Pregnancy crept through my mind and fear swept through me like ice.
'Had I gotten her pregnant?'
I panicked again and sniffed her and emitted a sigh of relief.
No, she wasn't, she just smelled of..me..
We continued walking down the dusty tunnel.
~*~
"Where do you think his passage will take us?" I asked him, fear starting to creep through me as we continued walking down what seemed like an endless passage.
He shook his head. "I don't know love. Just stay close." He said softly.
Our footsteps echoed through the stone hallway, even in the dark I could see the cobwebs and the individual stone blocks in the wall.
Was it possible that I was becoming..demon?
"Sesshoumaru?"
"Hm?"
"Am I becoming.." I didn't even have to finish my question.
He nodded.
I blushed. "But that was.." I counted on my fingers. "3..nights ago.." I muttered blushing even more.
"Well, I guess that previously in the cave, when you ran towards me, you fear was so great that your dormant and reborn primordial instincts overwhelmed you." He said thoughtfully in the dark.
"Am I.." I drifted off.
He read my mind using his telepathy that I knew demons had.
"Pregnant? No."
I breathed a sigh of relief.
It was then we stopped walking. We both heard our footsteps echo even louder.
'You hear that?' I asked him mentally.
'Yup.' He said.
'Our echoes became louder, meaning there's something in front of us causing the echo to bounce off and reach us faster than usual.' I thought to him.
He nodded. 'A wall.'
'A dead end?'
'Let's see.' He thought squeezing my hand.
We continued walking, and sure enough there was a dead end.
'I read about this..' I thought. 'Where you walk really far in a stone chamber and then a large stone wall drops behind you when you reach a certain area-'
CRASH! CRASH!
We whirled around to see a huge stonewall behind us, caging us in.
"..and you can't get out.." I whispered.
"Shit." He muttered. "There were two "crashes" so that means that there are two walls, and the second is usually twice as thick.."
"Wait, I paid attention in History! There's always a way out of these things, but usually the people who are trapped don't find it.." I muttered.
"Great." He said sarcastically.
I studied the dead end wall.
There were two holes that seemed to be missing blocks..strange..
'Wait a minute..this is really weird..'
I looked at the wall that had caged us in previously.
Each individual block seemed to have roman numerals painted and carved on them.
I, I, I, I, V, X, L, C, along with a bunch of other jumbled strange letters and symbols that were illegible to me.
Sesshoumaru poised his hand to punch through the wall. But there was something written on the middle block..
I gasped and grabbed onto his arm before he struck.
He stopped and looked at me quizzically.
"There's something written on it!" I exclaimed pointing to the wall he was about to destroy.
Here your bones will lie, Forever until eternity. Until you solve the riddle That lies here within me. Should you fail to answer true, This chamber will soon contain savage beasts. Should you answer right and approved, You shall be released. Please take heed, this riddle is tricky. And if you fail to come through, We hope you had a happy life, And wish the best luck to you!
PS - Welcome Lord Sesshoumaru, We have been expecting you..
PPS - And your lady friend too!
The Fates
"Ha, how cute.." Sesshoumaru said sarcastically.
"Break it." I said.
"No, I want to see if you're really the hanyou that smells like a human." He grinned.
I leapt into the air with grace and agility and dealt a deadly smash-kick to the granite.
It left a hole; several blocks were knocked out, but we weren't able to get through. Besides, there was another stone slab about 5 feet away. There was a chest on the floor where a broken rock was though...
With a quick wrench, the lock was savagely ripped off and the chest opened with a puff of dust.
I took out the roll of yellowed paper and handed it to Sesshoumaru with a smug grin of satisfaction on my face.
He was impressed.
"Wow." He muttered taking the scroll from me and opening it.
What does the following equal in roman numerals?
LXX+XX=?
"Okay, we're stuck.." Sesshoumaru muttered.
"Let me look at it." I said.
He handed the paper to me.
I looked it and started laughing.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"This is so easy!" I exclaimed.
"Well? What is it then?" he asked, eager.
"This is funny." I answered. "Because most demons who seek a portal do not know arithmetic and stuff like that!" I exclaimed grinning widely.
"..I do too know something.." He said. "..just not..roman..numerals.."
"The answer is XC." I said.
Nothing happened.
"XC." I repeated.
Still nothing.
"You sure?" he asked.
I thought for a second, then it all clicked.
"OH!!" I cried.
"What?"
"We have to pull the blocks out of the wall, and put them in the holes right there!" I cried pointing a finger at the two holes on the back wall.
"that makes sense.." He muttered.
"Okay, let's get the X and the C out." I said.
"But first we have to find it.." he muttered.
The C was at the bottom while the X was at the very top.
The C was easy to get out with a few punches and wiggles, but the X was a different story..
"I can't get it!" Sesshoumaru exclaimed as he hovered in the air pounding at the block with controlled strength.
"Keep trying.." I whispered.
I tried to summon my Miko powers to help ease the block out.
They were gone.
I couldn't call upon them anymore.
Panic shot through me.
'I'm not a Miko anymore?!' I thought frantically.
"No.." I whispered as the horrible truth sunk in.
I had sacrificed my Priestess powers unknowingly to save Sesshoumaru's life and to become a hanyou.
I shut my eyes, wanting this to be a bad dream that I would wake up out of.
But it was reality.
'Kagome! Don't think about this now! You have to get out of there before the oxygen runs out!' a voice nagged at me.
'Right.' I thought shoving the thoughts of my lost Miko powers to the back of my head.
'I'll deal with that later.'
I could hear the dull scratch of the block slowly moving.
'Come on..' I thought.
I looked at the block that Sesshoumaru was trying so hard to push out.
Suddenly I felt an adrenaline rush surge through me, a force possessed me and suddenly I felt the urge to shove the block out with all my might.
I narrowed my eyes as they glowed a brilliant green and urged the block to be pushed out.
Without warning, the block flew out of its place with a violent jerk as if an unseen hand were tugging it out and it flew towards me and was placed neatly in my hands.
Sesshoumaru stared at me.
It was then I realized that I was hovering and my hair was flying in all directions.
I slowly landed.
"What?" I asked aloud.
"The hell was that?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I don't know, I'll explain later, let's go." I pushed the blocks into the hole and blocks slowly reformed themselves to reveal another hidden chest in the wall.
Annoyed, I ripped the lock off and pulled out yet another scroll, except this one had a crescent moon pendant in it. It read:
Congratulations, you figured it out, This pendant will take you to wherever you desire. When you decide, tell the pendant no doubt, But know that the pendant knows no liar, For once you are there, you cannot turn back You'll be stuck there for eternity, So hurry up, say what you want and get away from me!
Love the Fates
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. "They're on something.." He muttered.
I laughed. "Ready?"
He nodded.
"To the future, where they have modern cars..and really good French fries.." I muttered.
And with a puff of smoke, we were gone.
