Part 19
I would have screamed if I could but the 'thing' that had grabbed me was choking me. I wiggled and squirmed, attempting to get out of his grasp. I never looked at the 'Thing's' face. I was too busy trying to scream and get away. I did kick him a few times, but it wasn't as if he cared. He kept doing this to me and I gasped for breath. It was going black. I was sinking when I heard a voice. It wasn't the 'Thing', but another person or thing. As if there were any people in the palace!
"Enough. She can't even fight back. We are supposed to bring her back alive. If she loses any more air she will die and I won't help you out when you have to explain to the BOSS." said a man's voice. I hated the sound of it. If it was an object, it would be covered in slime and dirt. He spoke those words as if he was the most important thing in the world. 'Ugh. He sounds disgusting!' I thought.
The Thing nodded his head and let my neck go. I gasped for breath and collapsed into a pile on the floor. I had been weakened by the lack of air. 'What is going on? Who are these creeps and why hasn't anyone noticed what has happened to me?' I thought about that for a sec and then dropped it because I was being picked up by the guy with the slimy voice. I will call him Slime for now. He leaned towards my ear.
"Try anything funny and you will feel pain, intense pain." I looked at him and saw his face. In contrast to his voice, his face was remarkably handsome, despite the scar that ran across his face.
"Who…" I whispered.
"It is nothing to you, but we are going to leave soon so just shut up!" He spoke quietly yet it harshly. I stared at him and then turned away. I would have argued except that I was low on sugar energy and was weak from being choked by the Thing. At this time I saw the Thing's face. Trust me. You never want to see that ever in your life! I swear I almost had a heart attack. It was a mass of mangled flesh. Instead of a mouth it had these little vertical lines, about an inch long that would open when he would breathe. His eyes were of red smoke. I mean it as in his eyes were empty sockets that had red smoke in them and gave off little puffs of it. He has random scars on his face. His head was half bald and the other side had stringy hair that seemed to stick together like when someone gets blood in it. His hair was pitch black and had little silver balls on the ends of little clumps of stands. I started to scream, but was cut off by Slime's hand and flesh burning glare.
"I said shut up." He hissed at me. We started to progress down the hall. He nodded to the Thing. It removed one of the little silver balls in its hair and threw it at the right of a mirror. The silver ball exploded soundlessly and everything seemed to stop around us. All shadows were tinted with silver. The mirror that the ball had hit was slowly swirling, but speeded up. It soon formed a doorway. I gasped at what was beyond it. A world colored silver. Everything was alive and just the same as over here but was silver colored. We started to walk through it. I realized that we were going into the mirror and thought quickly.
'WHAT AM I GOING TO DO????!!!!!!' and soon had destroyed that thought with another. 'What can I do? We're about to go though it and I can't do anything that involves sound or movement! I can do sword fighting…but that means movement! DAMNIT!!! Well… I guess I can do noth-wait!' I remembered when I had been mad at Hiei and had made his robe catch fire! 'Yes! I'll do that! But how had I done it?'
I couldn't remember in time. We had gone through the mirror. Slime put me down onto the ground.
"Have a nice look around!" He smirked. "You're going to be here for the rest of your life!" I gasped as he said it and watched them, stunned, leave the mirror and have it close behind them! I saw that I could see through the mirror and ran up to the glass.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
Slime looked at me and laughed. "There is only one way to get out and you will never figure it out. So I will tell you just to spite. Anyone can see you, but won't be able to release you. That is, unless they know to smash this mirror, take the largest piece and are willing to…take their own life." He laughed. "Enjoy living in the mirrors of the palace. You will never be able to get out of here. You wouldn't have one of your friends give their life for you! Hahahaha!" He bowed at me mockingly. "You are now the princess of the mirrors." His smirked was large and I yelled angrily at him.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!! YOU…YOU…why did you do this? What am I to you? WHO are you ANYWAY?"
"Ha. I am called Sivario and am aiding my friend Jaro Ska for revenge."
"Revenge for what? I've never met or even SEEN him before in my life!" I screamed back at him. 'Wait..' I thought. 'Ska…I have heard that name before.' I gasped at realization. "HE'S Nara Ska's brother?!!!"
"Yes. I see you figure that part out. He can not allow the death of his sister go by."
"BUT I DIDN'T EVEN KILL HER!!!"
"Yes, Hiei did, but we know she would rather have YOU dead." He said and I stepped back in surprise.
"Me? But she only attacked me because she wanted to kill Hiei!"
"That was part of the reason." He said.
"Part? You mean there is more to it than that?"
"Of course. Why did she choose you or all people? Why did she wait until you came around before trying to kill him?" I couldn't fathom why and told him, "I don't know."
"This is interesting! You don't even know what you are! Hahaha! Since you don't know, I'm not going to tell you! Anyways, I am out of time. We must depart. Have fun inside of your new home!" He laughed as Jaro Ska and himself disappeared. I banged against where the mirror was.
"NO!!! Let me go!" I started to cry when I heard voices. It was Kurama and Botan.
"Where could she have gone?" Kurama was asking Botan.
"Maybe we hurt her feelings and is hiding from us!" She said.
"I don't think so… I feel like it is something else." He murmured.
I looked at them and started to bang against the glass and shout to them, "KURAMA!!! BOTAN!!! I'M HERE!!!"
They looked around startled. "Did you hear that?" Botan asked, scared.
"Yes. It sounded like Fox!" Kurama said surprised.
'They can hear me! Good!' I thought. "OVER HERE!!!! I'm in the mirror!"
"What?" Kurama asked and looked at the mirror. Botan did so also and gasped.
"OH MY GOD!! FOX!!!" She screamed.
