~A/N: Hello, minna-san! First of all, I would like to say sorry for the longest time I have ever updated! It's because no ideas popped into my head for the story! In simple words, I had writer's block and I had no inspiration any more for continuing it! To tell you guys the truth, I was going to DELETE this fic, if not for the two persons who e-mailed me concerning this story of mine.

I would like to thank:

MikosWish and Ai Higeki For your continued support.

As from the reviewers,

Aka Bara (Diana) For she was the only one who responded from my dilemma. (Concerning the deleting of this fic!)

Thank you very much for your support! So now, I guess I'll be continuing the story again! But it was not only them, but also from you faithful reviewers! Arigato!!! Even though I'm not updating, you guys still reviewed. And for that, I'm very grateful!!! ^__^ But enough of this, let's go on with the story. . . "ESCAPE"

By the way, I changed the format of this story, and I also lengthened it, due to some (More like many) of the reviewers request! Please tell me what you think of it! Do you like the format better this way, or like the last time? Which is easier to read? Please tell me so I could alter it, or do something like that. Just include it in the review, please!

Titile: "Surprises of Fate"

By: chibi-chan

Chapter 10: Escape

Disclamer: I do not own Inuyasha or any Yu Yu Hakusho characters! Never did and never will!!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I. . . I can't believe this. . . I definitely don't want to believe this! Kurama. . .Hiei. . . They're the demons I sensed at school! I thought they were my friends. . . I guess this is what I get because of that dammn blessed curse!!!

Dammn jewel! It's always because of that! Wasn't the jewel also the one responsible of Inuyasha and Kikyo's misunderstandings? And wasn't it also the one that causes all our arguments? . . . Inuyasha. . . I wonder what he's doing now? Did he realized that I was kidnapped? Hmmm. . . maybe not. . . Well, I AM angry at him and I did run off. . . *Sigh * I guess, I'd better take care of this myself. . . okay. . . First, I'd better get out of this ropes. . . Hmm. . .

After the so-called thought, Kagome concentrated her miko energy in her wrists and ankles, wherein the ropes binding her slowly dissipated. Cautiously, she walked toward the door, as if expecting her captors to go in at any minute. When none came, she slipped out of the door and into a hallway.

Darkness greeted her, and the only thing that made her see in it, was the fact that there were cracks in the ceiling, giving her sufficient light for it. Repeating the same process, Kagome slowly and warily walked through it, until she reached a door.

She then took a peek in the room, only to discover that no one was there. Once inside, she then prudently took in her newly found surroundings. Bookshelves stood in almost every corner, shadowing the small amount of light still. Also, there was a desk and a chair, seemingly pilled with several papers and documents on top.

To say it simply, there was nothing special or magical in the room. But what caught the young miko's attention, was the constant factor of the different environments she had been in.

Deafening silence and eerie darkness.

'Why? Is there no one here?' she asked herself.

Answering her question was the footsteps approaching the room. Frantically, she searched for a place to hide. Finding one behind one of the bookcases, she quickly made a mad dash for it.

She finally reached her hiding place, just in time as the owner of the footsteps came in. . .

~A/N: Well, I was planning to stop this here for a cliffy, but it has been a long time since I updated so here. . . ^__^ Did'ja like the story so far?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Dread washed over her entire being. Fearing if the person with her in the room, was her captor, Hiei. Sure! She's also scared of Kurama, but not as much as with Hiei. She couldn't forget what happened last time. She was so shocked that she couldn't say a thing.

At that time, she was tied when a tear escaped her eyes. Only to be surprised when Hiei licked it off. Not only that, but when she didn't respond to his questions, he slapped her. . .HARD!

She reached for her cheek, still feeling the pain of his slap and their betrayal, mixed all at the same time. Fortunately for her, Kurama stopped him from slapping her again.

'*Sigh * . . . why, do these things always happen to me. . .' She then resumed her thoughts back in the room, wondering who just came in. . .

'Please let it not be Hiei! Please! Oh please, oh please!' Kagome chanted over and over in her mind.

That's when a voice spoke beside her. . .

"What are you doing here?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~A/N: Well that's that! I was going to write more, but this time I really decided to make it a cliffy! So whaddaya think? Please review and tell me if you like it or not. Also, kindly please include your comments with the formatting. Arigato!!! Remember, comments, suggestions, questions are always welcome!!! ^__^

By the way, I won't be putting up anymore review responses corner because one of the reviewers complained about it, saying that it was far more longer than the story itself, so from now on, I will just answer questions concerning my story, so here it is:

My responses to your questions and comments:

Aka Bara: I'm sorry if Hiei's acting like that, but it's his way of scaring Kagome. I'm really, really sorry if he's out of character! By the way, as said above, thank you very much for supporting and responding in my fic! I really appreciate it!!! ^__^

Kiharu: I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to offend you. But as I said before, it's Hiei's way of scaring Kagome. I'm really sorry if he acted like a fucking bastard for you.

Ai Higeki: Thank you very much for your support! I'm very grateful for it! It really did make me inspired! Anyway, I hope you like the chappy I posted! ^__^

VashnKnives: Well, aside from you, many also complained about that, so here I made it longer. (Although it's still short) I hope you'll like the changes I made!

Eris Goddess of Chaos: I'm really sorry about that part! But for Hiei's pairing partner, well. . . I haven't decided about it yet. But I'll take into mind the one you suggested. I'll try to put them together. As for your second question, you'll just see in the following chapters. Maybe after this chappy! I can't tell you coz' that will give away the plot. So sorry! Hope you understand! ^__^

Miko: I'm sorry if the previous chapters are short! From now, on I promise I'll make it longer! So sorry for the inconvenience! By the way, you'll soon find out what Hiei's planning in the next chapter. . . Maybe! ^__~

Momo: Well, I'm sorry if the chapters were short, and the responses and were longer than it! So now, I revised this chappy! I hope you like it!

Well with that finished, I guess this chapter is over too! Please review and tell me what you think including the changes I made! ^__^

Until then! Ja ne! ^__^
