*Author Notes: Ahh, the sweet smell of reviews. Kinda makes me want to put up another chapter sooner…but anyway, thank you all for your reviews. I've enjoyed the little comedy between Me and D.g and crew, so…read the chapter to find out how I will thank them. Anyway, just to clear things up, the chapter updates for this fic are totally random, I may not update for a week or a day. I cant set any specific time cause of school, but it wont be too long I hope.*
Chapter 16:
Never enter the Blue Light
"So you shot him with an arrow and it healed him?"
She nodded, answering Kenshin's question. He looked thoughtful, then shrugged and added another stick to the fire. Night was upon them as they camped by the familiar pond. Kagome had cooked them all up dinner of a canned soup she had brought along. Kenshin had marveled at the taste and smell. The stew was delicious and they had all enjoyed it. Inuyasha had gotten a third portion in the first five minutes, before Kagome told him to leave some for the rest of them. Cloud had ate quietly, like he always was. He had an appearance of a calm person, like he had no care in the world. Kagome had eaten cheerfully, as usual.
Kagome sighed. Inuyasha had tried to follow Ashitaka, but had come back saying that there was no trace of the guy. Inuyasha said his trail just plain ended, like he had just flown away. Strange. Kenshin looked up, suddenly.
"Hey, where's Cloud? He was here a second ago."
I looked around. He was gone! I was sure he was still right beside me, leaning against the tree. I got up. I was in my pajamas as I walked a bit toward the pond. Kenshin looked into the woods, and Inuyasha didn't even move from his tree. That's when I noticed the pond water was glowing. I approached it slowly. It looked like it was glowing blue.
"Hey Inuyasha."
He looked up from his light snooze and blinked. His eyes widened at the sight of a glowing pond of water. He jumped forward instantly.
"What the hell?"
Kenshin joined them. They all stared at the pool of water. Kenshin crouched by the edge.
"Interesting."
His hand went to touch it. The whole pool lit up even more. Kenshin looked up at his comrades.
"Should I?"
Inuyasha nodded. Hell, why not. Kenshin touched the water. It lit up like a pool of pour blue. Kenshin backed off a little. The water started to swirl around in a vortex. The pool became a whirlwind. Before anyone new it, a blue portal had sucked them in. Kagome gave a scream as she disappeared into the blue.
***
I'm floating. Kagome could feel herself floating. She slowly opened her eyes, to be assaulted with many different lights and colors. She looked like she was flying through a huge rainbow. She looked around. She was all alone. She looked behind her. Two bodies floated there. She screamed. It was Inuyasha and Kenshin. She swam over to them. She shook on Inuyasha."
"Wake up Inuyasha."
He groaned a bit, then opened his eyes. Wide open.
"What the HELL!"
She grabbed Kenshin's shoulder. He slowly woke up, equally confused.
"Well this is interesting…"
The three of them floated together. Niether of them could see anything except the colors and each other.
"What happened to Cloud?"
Inuyasha shrugged.
"No idea."
"Where are we?" Kenshin asked.
Inuyasha shrugged again.
"Still no idea."
"Are you guys blind or something?"
They looked up. There was Cloud, floating and looking asleep at the same time, staring down at them.
"Cloud!" Kagome yelled.
He shrugged.
"I knew you guys would fall for the same thing I did. Stupid pond."
Kenshin nodded.
"What did you mean by, 'are you blind'?"
Cloud gestured to the swirling of colors.
"Look at them. Don't stare at them, just look. Kinda zone out a bit."
Kagome tried. All she could see was a swirl of colors for a little while, and then pictures appeared. She gasped.
"Its my mom!"
There had been a flashed picture of her own mother. There were also pictures of other people, spaceships, and what looked to be flying cars.
"What is this place?"
Kenshin asked.
Cloud shrugged.
"How can I easily say that we are all flying through time?"
"What?"
He shrugged.
"Just a gut feeling. Hey Kagome."
"Yes?"
He floated down to her.
"Could you come with me please. There is something here for you."
"Huh?"
But he started to swim 'upwards' and she followed him. Inuyasha shrugged and went after them, with Kenshin close behind. Kagome saw what looked like a rock floating in the colors. When she reached it, she noticed it was about the size of a small car. Cloud stopped beside it.
"Kagome, read this."
There was a plaque with a few sentences on it plastered to the side of the rock. She read off the lines.
"Here lies a man cursed for all eternity. His weakness will forever be known to all who fall into the trap that is him, and his eternal rip. He will await the one of purity to set him free, for only the purest of mortals can even touch the curse in him. So he will lie in pain until that day, forever a statue, to show that known can defeat the 'Evil Magastrate"."
She finished reading off the lines. She was silent.
"Kagome, I think you should touch the rock."
She didn't hear him. Cursed for eternity? What could the man have done to deserve this? She placed a single hand on the rock. Like a glass window, the rock shattered. The pieces flew in all directions, cutting the small group. In the center of it all was a man, clothed in a black robe. He had black hair tied into a short ponytail at the back. His right had was covered in a strange gauntlet. A staff floated nearby. Kagome recognized his clothes from her history book.
"It's a houshi…"
*Author notes: So I lied about him not being there. Sorry but he aint one of the Six, but he will have a large role in the story from now on. The other girl(The one with the huge transformable cat) will also appear later. Im so evil.*
