Love Has No Boundaries
Chapter 13: What on earth?
Huca stared at him. She closed her eyes. She felt herself being transported through the castle. Down corridors, up stairs, past doors, and around corners she went. She stopped in a brightly lit room. She saw Kagome lying strapped to a table. She looked up and saw a man standing over her. His arms and hands were outstretched over her stomach. Purple and white lightning flowed from his fingers and crashed into her body. She watched as Kagome's body buckled and lurched from the strikes. She flew into Kagome's stomach. She followed the lightning till she reached two sacks. They looked like eggs, but upon closer inspection she saw and felt the power inside of them. The sack on the left burst open. Out flowed a cascade of power and blood. The blood raced past her quickly filling Kagome's stomach and flowing into the out reaches of her body. As the blood rushed past Huca, she felt sick. It felt like demon blood. But that couldn't be possible. Huca backed out of Kagome, then the room, and eventually the castle. She landed back in her physical form.
Huca's eyes flashed open, and she grabbed her stomach. Her legs buckled and she fell to the ground. Everyone ran to her side. Miroku picked her off the ground, sat down, and held her in his arms. "Huca are you ok?"
Her eyes fluttered open, and she glanced up at Miroku. For some reason she felt safe and secure in his arms. She shifted and then settled down. She glanced around. "Yeah I'm fine, I guess. That was weird. I was... never mind. You wouldn't believe me."
Ryoko glanced around. "InuYasha, Aisha lets go. This is getting more and more confusing." She turned back to Miroku. "Miroku try to figure out what's going on here."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ryo-Oki ran through the corridors, stopping every now and then to glance around corners and peer through windows on doors. She ran a few feet, and then stopped in front of yet another door. She hopped up on the window ledge and peered inside. She saw a lone female slouched against the back wall of her cell.
"Meow?"
"Huh?" The female glanced up. When she spotted Ryo-Oki, she moved towards the door. "Your cute. How'd you get in here? Are you lost?"
"Meow, meow."
As the female moved towards the window, the light from down the hall passed over her face. Ryo-Oki noticed that it wasn't the person she was looking for.
"Meow."
"Your looking for someone aren't you?"
"Meow!"
The girl sighed. "That person is locked in here just like me. Listen, if you find whom your looking for, come back and get me out of here also. Or if you can manage to bring me some tools, I can get out of here and help you." She looked down. "What am I saying? You can't understand me."
"Meow."
Ryo-Oki hopped off the window ledge and ran down the hall. She stopped and turned around, staring at the door once again. "Meow." She turned back around and bounced down the hall. She came to a room. In the middle of the room sat a metal table with leather straps in various places. Ryo-Oki glanced around. On the walls were chains with shackles. There was a wooden table along the left side of the room. Ryo-Oki went over to the table. A brown bag sat on the tabletop. Ryo-Oki glanced at the chair that was pulled up underneath the table. She crawled underneath the chair. She pushed her head against one of the legs of the chair and scrambled her feet against the wooden floor. After a few minutes she had moved the chair a few feet. She came out from under the chair, hopped up on it, and then hopped up on the tabletop. She nudged the bag till it fell over revealing its contents. Various tools spread over the table. Ryo-Oki picked up a screwdriver, hopped back into the chair, and then to the floor. She ran back down the hall.
She stopped in front of the woman's door, climbed up on the window seal, and dropped the screwdriver into the woman's cell. Ryo-Oki ran back and forth dropping the various tools into the woman's cell.
The woman smiled. "Thank you very much. You're a big help. If you give me a few minutes, I think I can get out of here and help you. By the way, my name is Rain."
"Meow."

Masaru threw Kagome into the cell and slammed the door. He had just finished performing another ritual on her in which he felt one of the sacks in her stomach burst. It seemed to him that the other sack was being stubborn. He wasn't sure, but he thought that the sack that had burst was the one containing the demon powers and blood. Within a few hours the demon powers and blood should completely run through her body. Being that she is a human, he knew it might take a few days for the demon blood to control her. He smiled at that last thought and wondered what kind of transformation it would invoke in her.
He walked down the hall, down a set of stairs, and entered his chambers. Walking over to a desk in the middle of the room, he sat down at the chair. He looked over the piles of papers on his desk and smiled when he caught a glimpse of a paper that had Kagome's name written in bold letters along the top. He remembered the day he had found that paper. He had been rummaging through some old boxes that his grandfather had left him. That paper was the only one that stuck out. Written over two hundred fifty years ago, it spoke of a girl who traveled through a well and displayed miko powers. It said that this girl was a very powerful miko, although she didn't know of her powers. He had devised that his grandfather had written the paper. It also stated that he was very afraid of the girl's power.
He remembered his mother speaking of a girl from the present that could travel back in time. She was rumored to be working with a half demon to collect shards of the Shikon No Tama. The girl, half demon, and a group of their friends' had killed his grandfather, Naraku, years before Masaru was born. His mother wanted revenge on the girl and had set to finding her. She had narrowed down which century she'd come from and even found the place she lived, but his mother died before exacting her revenge. The time had come for him to take over and so he concocted a plan to kidnap Kagome. He had run into her a couple times over the past few months and noticed that she had two very strong powers inside of her. To him both powers seemed to be surrounded, as if her body didn't want them to run wild through her. That was what had given him the idea to release the powers. If she were as powerful as everyone claimed, then he would destroy her, but if she was a weakling, then he would make her suffer to exact his revenge.
He sat back in his chair and smiled. "Those fools have no idea that I'm a demon. This plan is working better than I planned." He noticed a slight change in the atmosphere and stood up. He walked over to a window and peered out onto the castle grounds. He didn't see anyone in the vicinity, but he could feel their presence. He smiled and thought. "Today is the day. We're going to play with their minds and have a little fun."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome's body slammed into the back wall of the cell and slumped to the floor. After a few minutes, she rose up on her hands. Pain raced through her body. She slowly sat up, slouched against the back wall, bent her knees, pulled her legs to her chest, crossed her arms over her knees, and rested her head on her arms. Why was this happening to her? Her body lurched and she raced for the bucket she had left beside her bed. She buried her head in the bucket as nausea rocketed through her body. She felt heat, like a fire burning inside her stomach. It slowly spread throughout her body. She threw up.
She closed her eyes as the heat traveled to her head making her sweat. The heat was gone after a few minutes, leaving her shivering in the cool room. She pulled her head out of the bucket and placed her hands on the floor. She slowly rose to her feet, but they buckled beneath her forcing her back onto the floor. Pain rushed through her body. She pulled her hands to her head and noticed blood flowing from both of her arms. Pulling her arms back, she studied them. She didn't feel any pain and couldn't tell where the blood was coming from. She ran her left hand over her right arm, but couldn't find a reason for the blood. Doing the same with the other arm, she ended with the same results. She shook her head and dropped her arms. Maybe she was seeing things. She glanced over the rest of her body, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
She closed her eyes and images flowed into her mind. She was lying strapped to a table. She saw a man standing beside her, but the image was fuzzy. His hands were outstretched over her stomach. Purple and white lightning came out of his fingers and entered her stomach. She felt something burst in her stomach. The next thing she remembered was being thrown into the cell, hitting the back wall. She opened her eyes.
"You're up? Good. Are you feeling up to a fight?"
"What did you do to me?"
"I didn't do anything to you."
"Like hell you didn't. I'm bleeding, but I can't figure out where it's coming from."
"Your body is already reacting, interesting. I didn't hurt you. It was that hanyou that you seem to love. Don't you remember?"
"What? No, he wouldn't hurt me. He couldn't. I... I... I don't remember a thing."
"You think he cares about you? You have got to be kidding. He's never cared about you."
"No!"
"He loves another woman."
"Kikyo? I know that."
"Then why are you letting him hurt you?"
"I love him."
"But he doesn't love you. Stop telling yourself lies. He's coming for you. What are you going to do?"
She slouched back against the bed. Tears flowed down her face. "I can't face him."
"Don't worry, you won't face him alone. If you would allow me, I'll help you fight him."
"But how?"
"Just relax. I'll do the rest."
She gave a deep sigh and sat back, closing her eyes. Kagome opened her eyes when she heard the door to her cell opening. She looked over and watched Masaru walk in the room. He closed the door behind him, came over to her, and sat in front of her. She stared at him. He placed his hands on her head and instantly the pain in her body was gone.
He looked into her eyes. As his hands were on her head, he searched her mind and found that it wasn't blocked. He pushed his mind into hers. He studied her face for any recognition of what he was doing; there was none. Pushing into the far reaches of her mind, he sent a wave of power through his fingers into her brain. He formed the power around her thought cortex, and then pulled his mind out of hers. A smile creased his lips.
She looked surprised as she gazed at him. She felt a wave of power exit his fingers and enter her mind. What was he doing to her? Should she trust him? Why would InuYasha hurt her? He had always saved her life in the past. What had happened to make him attack her? She could remember nothing. Masaru took his hands away from her head. She watched him intently. She closed her eyes as a surge of pain ricocheted around inside her head. Her head was thrown back banging against the wood of the bed.
Masaru watched her close her eyes. "Good, it's finally taking effect," he thought. He watched as her head was thrown back. He narrowed his eyes and watched her for a few moments. Finally he got up, went over to the door, stepped through, and came back in within seconds with a bow and arrows. He grabbed her arm hoisting her to her feet. They disappeared.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Testing, testing, can anyone hear me?" Miroku's voice rang out.
"Would you shut up? We can hear you just fine." Ryoko shot back.
"Give him a break, he's never used this kind of technology before," Washu exclaimed.
"Shut up everyone! We have a mission to complete, remember?" InuYasha growled.
"Hum..." Tenchi moaned.
"This is so cool.." Miroku said.
"Grr, from now on no one says a thing unless they run into trouble or find Kagome. Got it?" Huca sounded mad.
"Uh huh," was Tenchi's response.
"Yeah," Ayeka said.
"Shut up already. She didn't want a response from everyone. Geez," Aisha said.
"InuYasha, Ryoko watch yourselves. You're surrounded." Washu warned.
"Grr, I feel them. I smell them too." InuYasha looked around clenching and unclenching his claws.
InuYasha, Aisha, and Ryoko had made their way around the castle. They found the small hole, but it was too small for any of them to fit in so they moved on. They were in the woods just to the south of the castle. InuYasha turned around with his hand on the hilt of his sword.
A man with black hair with white highlights appeared before them. He was wearing a black kimono with gold pants. His hand was wrapped around Kagome's right arm and upon seeing InuYasha's expression Masaru released her arm. He handed the bow and arrows to her. She was staring at InuYasha. Masaru threw a wave of energy into her head causing her to grab it for a moment before looking at Masaru and taking the bow and arrows.
"Kagome?" InuYasha silently said as he watched Masaru drop her arm. InuYasha studied her. He smelled her blood and saw it on her arms. She grabbed her head. Then InuYasha watched as Kagome grabbed the bow and arrows from Masaru. InuYasha growled. "What did you do to her?"
"Who are you?" Ryoko demanded.
"I am Masaru. I didn't do anything to her." Masaru laughed and watched them intently.
Kagome strung an arrow in the bow, cocked it back, and aimed at InuYasha.
"He wants to kill you. Are you going to let him try?" Masaru's voice echoed in Kagome's mind.
"No, he will not hurt me." Kagome answered him aloud.
"Good! I trust you will take care of him?" Masaru asked.
"Yes," Kagome said.
InuYasha watched as Kagome aimed an arrow at him. "Kagome, what are you doing?"
"You're not going to stop me InuYasha. You will die here today." Kagome watched him through slit eyes.
Ryoko and Aisha spread to InuYasha's sides. Masaru lifted his hand and various types of demons came out of the forest and pounced on InuYasha, Ryoko, and Aisha.
"Guys, we could use some help over here!" Ryoko said as demons rushed her from all sides. She powered up and let go a round of fireballs then took to the air.
