The Nun and the Sinner
The Spiders and the Jewel Part 3
Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby

Blood dripped from the faucet, staining the bottom of the golden sink. Staring at it in fear, Kagome shook violently."You're scared."
"Please let me go." Kagome whimpered from the chair she was tied to, her wrists bound behind her, crisscross, and her legs bound to each leg of the wooden chair. "Please. . .
"I will," her captor replied, his voice implying the smirk on his face, "after you help me with something.
The room was dark, dark enough to make textures etcetera difficult to make out. The golden sink, illuminated in the sunlight coming out through the cracks of a boarded up window above it, shown brightest in the room. The man was cloaked in shadows and his face was covered in a mask.
Said man pulled out a knife. and held it's newly sharpened blade against her throat. "I need blood." He said and licked his lips, leaning into her.
Kagome swallowed, having never been in a situation of such qualities. She suddenly felt very selfconcious about her smell, breath, and other superfitial features. "B-but. . .there's plenty of b-blood in t-the sink." She whimpered as he turned his head, the knife cutting into her throat lightly for a second.
He turned back and frowned. "Not enough and not pure." He informed her. "Unfortunately for you this here detector," he held up a black remote, not much unlike that of a television remote. "made it possible for me to fine you. I was able to sniff out the blood of the purest maiden in Japan. That being you." He licked her cheek and dried his lips with his tongue, her taste dampening his cracked lips.
"Fortunately for you I don't like to hurt little girls." He said as he reached toward her gym shorts, which happened to be just short enough to see most of her legs.
Kagome swallowed an uncomfortable scream as he rubbed the inside her thighs. This man is crazy, she thought, having still not seen his face, what's he going to do? I wish Mama was here, or Souta, or Jichan.
As he worked his way upward toward her spot something erupted between them; like a sonic boom without the boom. It knocked him backwards into the bloody sink and Kagome was released from the chair from the force of the air wave. The binds around her wrists and legs broke from the pressure..
She ran as fast as she could from the room had she woken up in.
She hadn't even seen her attackers face.
Thank you, lord, for protecting me, Kagome thought gratefully as she ran, her shoes tearing at the soles having been her gym shoes Ð well worn.
The lord hadn't finished his job though, because a bullet shot passed her right cheek, slicing through the skin. She stopped abruptly, the blood dripping to her chin like tears.
She turned her head, her hair catching each drop of blood. Her eyes went wide as she laid eyes upon her stalker.
His aged face showed worry, craze, and anger. His graying hair was cropped short but messy, black down the sides and a white stripe down the middle like a skunks.
"P-P-Papa. . ." she whispered as she watched him come toward her. She didn't run, stunned by the fact that her own father had been stalking her for all these years.
"I need your blood, girl, and I'll do whatever the hell it takes to get it!" he yelled as he fired another shot from his silver handgun. The road they were on was an abandoned drive, heading toward the "haunted" Maison Mansion, a used to be villa for the has been movie star: Marique (American). Sakura pedals danced to the ground, the drive littered with pink and red, and murals decorating the stone walls of the abandoned buildings around them. No one would save her from being shot.
She closed her eyes, praying, something she wasn't used to doing, but having learned about Christianity in school taught her of a different religion, tame and loving, strict and kind. One god to believe in instead of the Buddist gods.
Her rose the gun, put his finger to the trigger, and pulled. . .

Kagome jumped up, her arms immediately jumping to her leg.
"Holy shit, Kagome-chan, you scared the crap outta me!" Sango's voice screeched from behind Kagome. "Kagome-chan?
Sango put her arm around Kagome's shoulders. "Are you alright, you're shaking." She said, her tone softening.
Kagome turned and burying her face into Sango's chest, letting the tears fall as she cried. She didn't sob, though, her body shook violently, just like she had that time.
Kaede limped in at that moment, asking Sango what happened then sitting beside the fire, waking the embers, and pulling out a package of bandages and other medical supplies.
"Kagome, may I see your arm?" she asked as Kagome calmed down.
Kagome nodded, sniffing and wiping her nose with her good arm.
She put out her arm, looking puzzled for a moment having not remembered having a bandage on her arm.
She then remembered as Kaede was changing the bandage. I fainted, she thought, then blushed, on him. . .
She glanced around, checking to see if the man in question was about. She took her surroundings during her scanning: a fire, three futons (Keade's, Kagome's, and Sango's), a fire pit with roaming fire included, and a straw flap covering the doorway, blowing in the wind.
Very old fashioned.
Kaede finished wrapping Kagome's arm.
"Now, child, about your situation." She started. "I think I may know a way for you to return to your supposed time." She turned toward the fire pit. "I may be incorrect in this inquiry but I think if we return to the field Sango found you in we may be able to get you home.
Kagome nodded, rubbing her arm and staring over her shoulder at the door, half expecting Inuyasha to step through it any second. She decided to calm her nerves by asking.
"Um. . .Kaede-sama?" she asked the old woman. "Do you have any idea where Inuyasha went?
"He is just sulking, dear, you may go outside and speak with him." Kaede said, not looking Kagome as she finished readying the fire for cooking.
"Why doesn't she use a fireplace?" Sango muttered to Kagome.
Kagome just shrugged and stood, holding her leg as if she had been shot like that time.
"What's the matter, Kagome?" Sango asked as she helped Kagome up after watching her struggle.
"I'll tell you later." Kagome said, smiling to her new-found Best Friend.
"Ok. . ." Sango said slowly.
Kaede stood, holding a necklace between her fingers. "Kagome, if you need help, just call me and I'll set these here beads.
Kagome rose an eyebrow but nodded and left the hut, looking around the ruined village as hse stepped out into the light. The corpeses of the kumo buryoku were still in the middle of the village, their long hairs blowing in the wind.
Villagers were about, but only a few that had survived the terrorizing sickness that swept through with the Shikon no Tama's reawakening.
"Élike Kikyou-sama. . ." she heard every once and a while as she passed villagers. Kagome just rolled her eyes at them.
She reached the outskirts of the plagued village and looked scanned the area for any glimpes of black hair or clothing of some kind.
She spotted him in a tree just on the edge of the forest she had found him in. He had his back from her, his bottom on the branch, his legs brought to his chest, and a hand to the trunk for support. His raven black hair rustled gently in the wind and Kagome found herself blushing just from that slight movement alone.
"Uh. . .e-excuse me?!" she called up to him, cursing her stammering.
He didn't turn around. "Sorry bout your arm." Was all he said, his apology almost sounding like a growl. "You really should've let the grandma die. She's not worth almost losin' your arm.
Is that concern, Kagome wondered silently. "Can you come down here?" she asked quietly.
"No." he replied, the growl still very prominent in his voice.
Kagome sighed. I wonder why I even bother, she thought with another, harsher, sigh, all I want to do is ask him about this Shikon no Tama.
"Please come down here?" she asked, politeness seeping into her words, the politeness she used around the head mothers at the convent.
"Please shut up." He mocked her. He didn't turn around still.
"Get down here now." Kagome said angrily, losing her short term patience. "If you don't get down I'll dragged you down.
He finally turned around and stuck his tongue out, the only form that he really knew where she stood or spoke from. "Try it, bitch." He turned away again.
Kagome knit her eyebrows tightly and reached up to grab the dangling shreds from his foot wraps. She pulled hard and he clung to the tree with grace and practice, not clumsy effort.
Kagome pulled hard one last time and as she pulled she felt the ground below her gave, pulling her, the tree, and Inuyasha down the deep dip in the ground as the ground caved in. Kagome blacked out.
