Chapter Twenty-Six
~~ Megumi's POV ~~
I screamed her name as she fell. She mumbled something that I couldn't hear and hit the ground. I ran to her limp body and tried shaking her back to consciousness as Naraku's laughs dwindled away. Her body went still, her breaths were faint, receding deeply into very long, slow breaths. I feared for the worst.
Naraku's sweet voice chimed in darkly with a hint of what seemed to be slight anger, "My lord Daleus. It seems that you and I have much to discuss about how we take care of the spoils of war before victory is ours. We can't let the fragile ones be broken now can we?"
The king choked back weakly on a cough and on his own blood.
"That bitch!!!" I heard the queen scream and turned to us.
Her eyes were like fire, burning with a desire to kill. I looked to her brother who was in a sitting position, grasping onto his chest and stomach. There was blood that trickled down his mouth. Apparently, Kagome knocked him out pretty bad and that took a lot out of her.
"You'll pay Crimson slut!" screamed the annoying sister.
"Look who's talking you ugly skank!" I screamed back at her without turning from Kagome.
"Wh-WHAT!!!!???" she screeched and screamed loud enough that could make one go deaf.
"Sis... No... don't..." he tried to stop her, but it fell on deaf ears.
She infuriated me. I had no time to mess with the bitch. I grabbed one of my darts and threw it at her.
Thomp!
"Sister!" I heard the brother cry.
I looked and saw that she was pinned to the wall not far from her brother.
"Shut up!" I yelled.
She opened her mouth to say something, but Naraku stopped her with a mute spell.
"Very interesting. I must say that I am quite amused by what has happened so far Crimson Blade. It was very-uh entertaining," smirked the dark prince.
Shivers ran down my spine as I scowled at him.
He was coming my way. I knew what he wanted. I could tell the moment he laid eyes on Kagome... He wanted her.
Ignoring my pain, I struggled up and grabbed for my two blades. Fortunately enough, I got one, but unfortunately, Naraku was too quick and slapped me away before I could get to the other one.
"Even if you are a woman, I will show no mercy. Do not keep us apart," he said, looking at me with those impenetrable, lustful yet dooming red eyes.
'Us? No! Kagome!'
"Stay away from her!" I shouted and rushed at him.
When I came closer, I swung my sword, but met up with another sword, my own in his hand.
"You are well known for your use of two swords, but what would happen if one were to be used against you?" he said.
My eyes widened a little, but my grip held on tight to the sword I had against my other one that was in Naraku's hands for the moment. That had never happened before. No one had ever gotten to my swords and ever used it against me.
I tried to push forward, but Naraku didn't seem to be struggling one bit. He smirked at me and kicked my legs. It knocked my legs down and my grip loosened a bit, but that was all that he needed. He batted my other sword away with the one he held and struck the hilt of the sword down hard onto my head.
The pain was... immeasurable. Sure, I had been through pain that was much worse that this... but each time hurt just the same that I really felt that I couldn't stand it anymore.
I fell flat down. My skull felt like it had just been crushed.
"Shi-ne," his low voice said.
I heard my sword clank as he held it above me to drive it inside.
'No...'
"No!" a voice cried out.
I heard Naraku suddenly jump away as several darts struck where he was last at, barely inches away from me. Someone came running at me and helped me up. The pain was still there and still hurt so much that I couldn't look up at my rescuer.
"Megumi! Are you okay? Why is Kagome down!? Is she okay!? Can you look at me and answer? Megumi!" came the now familiar voice.
"Rune... When we get home... I'm going to kill you...." I told her.
"Megumi, nice to hear that you're able to talk. Now can you look at me?" she asked me.
I tried shaking my head, but even I couldn't escape the pain to do one meaningless task.
"No..." I answered her.
"...I'm sorry Megumi... I'm sorry. I was too late and you two came looking for me..." she said, full of regret and apologies in her voice.
My anger at her lessened a little... just a little...
"Just... don't do it again... cause I'll have to wring your neck..." I told her.
"Okay," I heard her sniff.
"Awww... This is so sweet Crimson Lotus'," Naraku's sweet voice was then doused with poison, "... but unfortunately... this is the end...for you..."
Ignoring whatever I got, I turned my head a little to look at Naraku. He held my sword up, pointing at us with that smug look on his face. Unfortunately, I couldn't see much once the blood from the back of my head, from Naraku's strike, dripped to my eyes that I had to close them because I couldn't make my hands go to wipe my eyes.
"Megumi, stay back-er down. I'll be right back," she told me.
"Wha-what? Rune!" I reached for her but she was gone.
The next thing I heard was Naraku and her fighting. I could hear metal connecting with each strike, heavy breathing from Rune and her footsteps desperately trying to gain way through Naraku's attacks.
"Enough! This game has gone on far enough, Crimson Moon. You bore me," said he.
Suddenly, I heard her sword drop and I could no longer hear any footsteps from her, almost as if someone had picked her off the ground not by human hands because she wasn't choking for air. She was then screaming in agony and pain.
"Rune! What's happening!!!???" I shouted, fearing for the worse.
It seemed to have gone on forever. I heard the cracking of bones, almost as if he were twisting them, repositioning her bones back in place and breaking them again. Her screams were so painful to hear and what she was going through seemed unbearable and the torture seemed forever until she could scream no more. He then threw her limp body next to mine.
He sighed, "That was fun, for a while until she stopped screaming. Now to kill the both of you off."
"No!" another voice stopped Naraku.
'What? Who's there?'
"Ser?" came a struggling and barely audible squeak from Rune.
"Rune!" shouted the man called Ser.
"Ser! I want you to clean up this trash after you kill them!" commanded Naraku.
"What!? My lord Naraku, I-No! I will not! I... I love this woman! I cannot kill her or her comrades! I-" but he was stopped.
"You dare to question me? Infidel! After all that I've done! I found you abandoned and took you in! I gave you your powers and showed you how to use them! I gave you command over my own legions and this is how you repay me?!" shouted the flaming dark king.
"My lord! You have gone too far! I must stop you because it was you who took me away from everything! Everything! I can't remember my past, but I know that Rune was a big part of it! If I must then I WILL get rid of you to regain all those lost memories!"
I heard a sword be drawn, most probably Ser's.
"Ser... No... Get back... He'll... he'll..." Rune mumbled.
"No... I will protect you Rune, I will... With my life I will..." Ser replied boldly.
Naraku chuckled darkly, "So, the ugly duckling has now become a swan... Your punishment will be taken with great indulgence, fool..."
********************************************************************
~~ Kagome's POV ~~
I blacked out for a minute... or two or maybe even three, but whatever! I blacked out for a few minutes and forced myself to come back after realizing that I was doing no good on the floor. My eyes slowly opened to the scene of Ser, the dragon man, fighting with his own lord.
'Whoa... What the hell happened?'
Just I moved to get up, soreness running through my body, too numb and swollen to feel my joints, but I stood on my two feet the moment Naraku blasted his former-minion with a final blow.
'What the-'
Ser's body went flying in the direction of Rune, weak, almost lifeless. When his body hit the floor, his blood splattered everywhere around him and even hit me.
Rune moved frantically to his body. She took his hand, tears ran down her eyes and they whispered several words of comfort to each other... then... he fell limp.
"Case? Case, please get up. Don't play with me... no... no... I can't lose you again... No! CASE!" she cried.
I couldn't bear to look, but I couldn't bear to not look in anger at Naraku who was smirking like an idiot with that smug look on his face. Though battered and wounded beyond words that I could not describe... It almost seemed like I... like a power inside... something was driving me on... something... an urge... to kill Naraku!
Yes, it was against the law of my clan. Do not kill unless provoked. Killing is bad and our skills cannot be used for our own personal vendettas... but...
'Argh! Screw that fucking law! I'm gonna kick his frickin ass!'
He noticed me and that's when I struck. I didn't care if he was ready or not or if I was ready or not. I wanted him dead at that moment. I grabbed my sword.
"Kagome..." he smirked.
"Shi-ne! Naraku!!!!"
I came after him with all my strength. My sword swiped at his head, but he easily dodged it and backhanded me. I fell to the floor. I was being clumsy.
'Do not fill your heart with rage Kagome... For you will become so clumsy that you will not be able to distinguish right from wrong or friend from foe...' came the wise words of my uncle.
So what? I didn't care for anything at that moment... just... just his death!
I turned to Naraku who loomed over me with a teasing grin upon his unmarred face.
"Tsk tsk Kagome. You're so clutzy today! My, my, that will not do if you are to be mine..."
'What?! Say that again?'
While in his mocking gesture, I took the chance to rush forward and slashed my sword with one hand at him. He ducked to the side, but I was ready. My other hand had been going to my dagger hidden in the side, which I rarely ever used except for silent assassination amongst many people. I grabbed it once I felt the hilt and slashed it at him. His focus had been mostly on my other hand, but noticed the dagger at the last minute.
I felt the full impact of his anger as my body was flung to the far wall. Blood dripped from my head downwards. Man, I was losing too much blood today. If I lived to see tomorrow, I wouldn't be able to feel or move at all for a long while... If I lived that is...
I fell to the ground, clenching my teeth from the pain. I looked up at Naraku and grinned.
He was looking at me with such fury in his eyes. His red eyes blazing with some unseen force mixed with feelings of anger, lust and... betrayal?
"KA.GO.ME!" he snarled, each syllable strongly emphasized.
His kimono was in cleanly cut at his chest and I could see his chest, his large gash on his now bloody chest. I had cut him pretty deep. No one would be able to live from that. He would either die from infection or blood lost, much like me if I didn't get help soon, but he was lost.
I smirked at him, looking like a fool asking for a death wish, but I didn't care. One way or the other, my goal was his death.
Naraku ran towards me, an uncontrollable anger stampeding at me, but he stopped short halfway, grabbed his chest and fell dead, or at least I hoped so.
"Lord Naraku!" came a voice I didn't know.
It was a man in armor. Long blond hair and deep blue eyes... Shit...
It seemed to be some sort of bad moment or something because Megumi chose that time to rise up and wiped the blood from her face, despite the physical pains inflicted upon her, now she would deal with emotional pains as well. She knew that voice and her eyes went wide in relief and surprise, but a sort of horror behind it all.
"Gabriel..." she whispered with tears in her eyes, but they were not tears of joy.
"Megumi!" he said stunned and shocked.
"You... you were here all along... I tried to find you all this time and you were with the enemy all along..." she started to break down.
"I told you not to follow me... When this was all over, I would return to you... but now... I can't do anything to protect you..." his voice was bitter to her.
"Was your vow to the royal family more important...even more than me?"
His head bowed a little, "Yes..."
"I see..." she said, choking back sobs.
"You're my enemy now Megumi... I love you, but my vow is more important than anything..."
"Anything huh..."
"Give it up!" came the voice of the now not muted sister.
We all turned to them. Rune started to get up from her location and drew her sword.
She went behind Gabriel and wrapped her arms around him, "Give it up. He's mine now so you can't have him ever again. Besides, he's quite a bunker to have in bed with me."
We all looked on in horror and a disgusted surprise.
"Chi-chigau! You lie! You-you can't..." choked Megumi who was shaking uncontrollably.
The maniacal sister laughed, her arms wandering in places on him that I dare not look at, "Lie? I'm not lying. Gabriel dearest, tell her what we did the other night, how I wanted to take control, but you flipped me over and took control and how many times we did it and how many times you made me or-"
"No!" screamed Megumi who was now broken beyond control.
Suddenly, this bright and wild, untamed power erupted from her. It was so bright and so strong that it blew the whole room up. Everyone screamed from the enormous power. A great gust of wind swirled around her as the light engulfed the whole area, even beyond the castle grounds. I heard shrieks and screams of dying pain from Naraku's minions.
"Incredible... This is the power of the Crimsons?..." came the voice of the young king, but was washed out by the light.
Just then, I realized something.
'We have to get out of here...'
I rushed to Rune, convinced her to help me get Megumi away. She wanted to take Se-Case, but we had to leave him behind to get away quickly.
"No! We can't!" she cried.
"We have to! It's the only way to get home faster!"
She seemed to understand, but didn't like it. I could tell that it was heart wrenching for her, but we had choice. She gave a glance backwards at her fallen beloved though the light made it hard to see, to her, it seemed as if she could see passed all that. I then pulled her and we grabbed Megumi and made like a banana and split.
Just then, someone shouted something and I froze, almost paralyzed knowing whom the speaker was. I looked behind me and the fury I had before was no longer there as fear and panic seized me. My mind told my body to move and it responded to it so we ran like there was no tomorrow. The light remained, but started to dissipate as we made our escape.
When we had gone out far enough close to the castle and the sky had started to darken again, we stopped to rest before continuing on.
"Case... Forgive me... forgive me Case!" sobbed the broken-hearted Rune.
Megumi seemed in no condition to talk or do anything at all.
I was still recovering from the speaker who spoke....
His voice still rung in my head and his face scared me most of all.
"Kagome! I'll be back fro you! You will be mine!!" shouted the formerly "dead" Naraku.
On his face was the most psychotic and lustful expression I had ever seen and his grin made a promise to me that he would come for me soon.
I shivered involuntarily at that.
"Souta... I know you've been protecting me all this time... but... I'm scared Souta... help me... help me Souta... " I muttered to myself and cried.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ah... I think I should make this rated R. It doesn't seem to be good for PG-13. Yes, there will be more... adult situations, especially for the sequel, but no scenes where people screw each other ok? I don't do that stuff. Anyways, thanks for reading. I will try to get this story done ASAP. Well, R & R. (^_^)
