Chapter 4: Flight at Night
An: italics means personal thoughts
"Trust me I'll find something. Also I have your very will in my hands. But for now you can just sleep." He left making me hate him even more, if that was possible.
Slowly slipping into unconsciousness I saw a woman looking at me with piteous eyes. Hatred and fear I could tolerate but pity I could not. I quickly closed my eyes and fell asleep. I don't know how long after I fell asleep, that 1 of the 3 jewel shards had been removed from my body. I looked around as if to see some clue to which might lead me to find who had taken that shard out and who had rebandaged my body. No sign but the scent of Naraku lingered showing he had recently been here. Though I doubt he did me the favor of removing that damn shard. I then saw a figure standing outside the curtain of my room. Wait wasn't that the smell of the woman arguing with Naraku? Yes, that was. There's no mistaking the scent of someone who smells of the earth. She walked towards me once again with that piteous look in her eyes.
"I know you're angry for being held here against your will," she said. She seemed to fear me and walked with uncertainty to where I lay. But her confidence grew as she saw I was no threat in this state.
"How would you know what it is to be held against your will?" I spat my anger rising.
"I may not know, but I can help you escape it, if."
"If what?"
"If you search for a half demon by the name of Inuyasha and give him the 3 Shicon Jewel Shards. Say that they are from me, Kikyou. But when I remove the other 2 shards you must promise not to go after Naraku. Right now he has far too many allies, or puppet, what ever you wish to call it. You also won't be able to stand up to them at once. After this small task then you may do what ever you wish"
I was confused. Didn't this woman work with Naraku? Yet, here she was trying to help me escape. For which to me had long since been a forgotten dream. Hell, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to get the hell out of here. Even if it meant doing a small favor, which is really more than I can bear.
"Fine, first tell me why you are doing this?"
Apparently she was shocked by response and questions which I directed at her.
"I hate Naraku and will bring him down. But for that to happen I need a distraction."
"Thus that distraction being Inuyasha, right."
"Yes," she replied to me.
She then moved over to me and pulling out an arrow she pierced my wrists, thus granting me a big favor. The shards how somehow moved up to my wrists without my knowing. My wrists bled for only a few moments, but soon healed. I soon felt my power wash over. Warmth spread like wild fire all over my body, as my power found its place. Of course every short moment of peace I seem to have is instantly broken by some moron looking for something. This time it was Kikyou.
"You must hurry. My Soul-Snatching youkai will lead you." She quickly shoved the jewel shards in to my hand, pulled me up, and pushed me out. Considering the circumstances I forgave her, otherwise this to be quite rude. I soon led down a tunnel by two ugly white things. Coming up with the conclusion that there were Kikyou's Soul-Snatching youkai.
It was a very fast going trip. So I couldn't admire the fine architect which consisted mostly of dirt piled to look like walls. Also the trip consisted of a lot of running. It wasn't till later that I realized that we had gotten out of the tunnel and into dense woods. This due to the fact of the sweet thoughts of killing Naraku. Where we were headed I had no idea. Yet instead of slowing down they seemed to be speeding up. So I followed still confused on where they were going. I stopped suddenly barely in time to see the massive drop before me. The Soul-Snatching youkai seemed to notice that I was no longer behind them. Quickly they descended upon to attack me. They pulled my feet from under me causing me to fall off the cliff. My head hitting the side of the cliff as a bone crunching sound came from it. Great, I thought more injuries and right after I just healed too. Cold silence then the hard impact of my body hitting the cold ground under me. Now all I saw was the Soul- Snatching youkai forming Kikyou's face. Then blissful unconsciousness.
"Trust me I'll find something. Also I have your very will in my hands. But for now you can just sleep." He left making me hate him even more, if that was possible.
