Chapter 27
You moan softly finally getting his much wanted touch upon you. Can/should you stop him now?
Your gi starts to slide down your shoulders as you gasp feeling warm lips trail down your neck and chest, probably leaving marks. Your gi droops off your arms and falls casually to the floor as wandering hands find their way to the band of your hakama. Maybe you were wrong, maybe you couldn't-
Your daydream comes to a halt as a colossal snake-like demon bursts through the wall before you of the castle hall. As the hall quakes you back up as Sesshoumaru lunges at the demon. You back away as more and more chunks of the ceiling fall around you. Earlier or a few minutes ago an earthquake almost flipped over the whole castle, not to mention the demons that seem to be lurking in and outside the castle, so in the end, you and Sesshoumaru had to leave your room and find a safe exit out. And currently the whole castle seemed to be going down like Titanic...
You continue to back away as snake demon's tail flies toward you, almost getting pelted by it, you glare at it, noticing Sesshoumaru was still trying to slay it, it seems to be one tough creature. Missing you its tail collides with the wall resulting in even more and larger chunks of ceiling falling. You back farther away and get support on an upright wall as a thick dust starts to form from the fallen ceiling. While trying to find your way through the dust something grabs onto your arm tightly and starts to pull you back and automatically you put your hand on the hilt of your sword.
"Miss (Insert Name), please come with me! I'll show you a safer exit out!" A voice, much like the castle assistant says.
"But, what about-"
"I'll come back for Sesshoumaru! And if I can not find him I'm sure he'll find a way to get out on his own! Lets get going already! This room is about to collapse!" He continues and quickly drags you down the hall and out of the dust.
After a few minutes of being dragged, and watching out for falling pieces of the ceiling and attacking demons the castle assistant finally stops where it seems to be the main floor of the castle.
"Alright, Miss (Insert Name), this is far as I can go with you, but the exit isn't far from here." He says and points in the direction of a hall behind you. "Go that way, through the right wing of the castle and keep going straight until you reach the outer hall, and then there's an exit some point around there!" He says heightening his voice because of the loud destruction of the castle going on around you. You nod indirectly towards him as he smiles at you back. "Alright, I wish you luck, Miss (Insert Name), and I do hope we'll see each other again! Good bye!" He says bowing and then runs away in the opposite direction.
After giving him an odd last glance, you follow his directions and run toward the right wing of the castle, while avoiding falling stuff coming from above. 'Dodge left! Slide right! Jump! Duck! Dodge right! Slide right!' You yell inwardly avoiding demons that seem to be following you and other falling things. 'This is some crappy vacation... Or just a really realistic DDR game...' You muse finally entering the right wing and then stopping right in your tracks as you see a bunch of demons barricading the way to the outer hall.
"God damn it..." You mutter irritably sliding out the Kyojin from its sheath.
Leave crunch underneath a young woman's feet as she quickly walks down the forest path holding a newborn baby wrapped in a buddle of silks. She holds the child tightly to her chest, while fastening her pace.
"Don't worry; your father will pay for what he has done to us!" The woman hisses as her golden hair shimmers in the sunlight. She stops as her two cat ears twitch as if detecting a far away sound. "Whoever's there, come out now! Or I'll have no mercy!"
With her threat none other than the infamous Kurayami steps out of the shadows of the trees and bowing before her.
"Nice seeing you again, Lady Sansuki!" He says grinning.
"Who the hell are you?" The cat demon hisses holding her child protectively.
"It's a shame you've forgotten already... Well, I guess you wouldn't know, anyways, but I am the father of your newborn child." He says frowning.
"Impossible! I have never met you! The father of my child is-"
"No, that's impossible. You see, the lord of the west was with his new human acquaintance during our time together. You can ask anyone that attended the conference." He replies thoughtfully. "Well, I can't take up any more of our time here, good night, Lady Sansuki!" He says as his eyes starts to glow and a bright light floods the area.
A scream fills the area as the light fades and the cat demon's body is seen crumpled on the forest floor with the sobbing baby at her side. The fox demon approaches the body and picks up the baby.
"I may have ripped you from your naïve mother's plentiful bosom, but it can't be helped and I will not be swayed by an insignificant child's cry. It will all be greater in the future, I promise." He whispers looking down at the weeping newborn with large sapphire eyes.
The last one falls to the ground with a loud thump before as you sheath the Kyojin. You run around it and finally entering the outer hall and pausing looking from left to right you pick a direction and run in it. Glancing at the paper walls you could see sunlight glowing through them. 'It must be a real nice day outside... I wonder what the others are doing... Hopefully not anything as life threatening...' Turning your attention back to the path before you, you notice a familiar person laying slumped on the floor as if unconscious. You cautiously approach the blonde unconscious person on the floor and bend down beside her.
"Adira, are you ok? Adira?" You ask shaking the girl lightly. Frowning you carefully slide the girl off the wall to laying flat on the floor, then noticing the gash on the girl's forehead dripping blood. "Oh my god! Adira!" You gasp noticing the girl's paler than normal features. Thinking quickly you carefully put the girl's arm around your shoulders and slowly started to lift her up from the cold wooden floor.
"Stop right there!" You flinch as you recognize the familiar voice behind you two. "Lady Adira doesn't have permission to leave yet, and if I know any better you don't either Lady (Insert Name)!" You turn around slowly trying to balance Adira with you and before you, you see the flaxen eyed, brunette Kaori.
"You again? You'd think you would have been fired already! What is this? Third times the charm?" You ask the girl with an irritated frown.
"Just being a bit smug huh, human? You were lucky then, but now you're not getting away if you don't want your fair-haired friend to survive!" She says smugly. "Dark fire!!" She yells and black colored flames shoots from hand.
You shift as you think of a plan. 'What to do?! If I leave Adira she'll get hit by the attack, but if I... That's what I'll have to do, a bit risky, but....' You stand your ground as you watch the flames barreling towards you almost ready to put your plan into action. 'Just a little closer...' Before you can even act, you feel yourself get shoved out the way and into the wall.
"Light reflection!!" You hear another familiar voice yell and you open your eyes again to see the one and only Naomi standing before you and your assassin Kaori standing in an orb of black fire screaming out of pain. You stand up pulling stand up pulling Adira with you.
"Naomi, how did you-"
"I'll tell you later, but now you should get Adira out of here! I'll keep her busy!" Naomi says cutting you off and gesturing to the fallen Kaori who's just be released by the orb of fire.
"Alright!" You reply nodding. "But be careful!"
"Of course I will!" She replies and you continue to half-carry Adira towards the exit.
Soon after turning a corner you pause wondering which way to go, left or right? Before you make a decision the girl you're carrying shifts, waking up and you quickly lean her on the wall for support.
"Adira? Are you ok?" You ask softly.
"(Insert Name)...?" She groans quietly blinking and lifting her head upwards. "Where am I?"
"You're at... The conference thing me and Sesshoumaru went to... You don't know how you got here?"
"No... What's going on?" She asks noticing the tremor of the room.
"The castle is collapsing! We have to get out of here now!" You reply remembering the current state of the castle. "Come on!" You say pulling her back up and quickly hobbling toward the supposed exit of the castle.
"...Wait .... Wait!" She cries suddenly becoming frantic pulling away from you.
"But, Adira, we don't have much time! This place might crash to the ground any minute!" You reply trying to keep pulling the girl towards the exit.
"No! I don't want to go! Stop! Get away! Save yourself (Insert Name)!" She wails pulling away from you, but you keep a firm grip on the hysterical girl.
"Adira, why-!" Before you can finish your sentence you receive a hard strike to the cheek sending you airborne, crashing against into the paper thin walls and right threw the walls to the outside landing on your back on top of the fallen paper wall.
Pain races through the veins of your body from your bruised cheek as you open your eyes and shut them quickly once seeing a crescent version of the sun. Once again you open your eyes half-way to see you're in the shade and open your eyes wider to see the giver of your current pain standing above you.
"Adira, what-"
"You don't have the right to say my name!" She interrupts, picking you up by the collar and holding you to her eye level. "Ever again!" She yells and punches you again sending you into flying once again and into a tree.
You twitch scowling up at the slowly approaching girl before you and try to into a standing position. 'Shit! She went from weak, sickly and frail, to scarily strong and evil!' You say catching the malicious glint in her eye. 'This is bad... I need to get up before she beats me to death!' You inwardly wail to yourself, while quickly getting into a weak stance and pulling out the Kyojin. The blonde pauses eyeing you cautiously for a second then throws her head back and laughs.
"You've got to be kidding me?! You're going to try and fight me? After what one of my punches has down to you? Right now, you should be begging for mercy human, because in one more punch I'll have your head! And if you do beg for your pitiful life on your hands and knees I may be lenient!" She says as you continue to glare at her.
"How about you shut the hell up and try something, unless you're scared that is? And I don't know who the hell you are, because you're not Adira and since I know that's true I'll just have to beat some answers out of you!"
"Follow your own advice, human!" She yells drawing her own sword, which seems to be twice the size of yours and lunges at you.
You quickly direct your ki through your veins, healing the few of your serious injuries and the rest towards the Kyojin. You quickly dodge her lunge and attack her at a blind spot, which she blocks. She jumps away pushing you backwards, but you keep your balance as she lunges at you once more. Your swords clash against each other and creating small sparks jumping from in between. You grind your teeth together forcefully trying to hold the Kyojin up against hers, that seems weighty, but to your disadvantage she wields it too well. Se leans in slightly smirking at you.
"So, human, I hear you're here with the lord of the western lands... Oh what was his name? You know don't you?" She asks as you permanent scow seems to set upon your face. "Oh, yes! Sesshoumaru! Hmm, that guy so you're into the cold-blooded killer type now? Huh, Mi-Do-Ri-Ko? Kind of ironic, right?" She says overly pronouncing the priestess's name.
"Shut the hell up!" You yell crossly at the blonde who smiles in reply.
"But, I'm only trying to make conversion, (Insert Name)! And really I also thought you should know this! Do you remember when you saw Lord Sesshoumaru with Lord Blade devising a plan to destroy the neighboring human villages? I heard that their really going through with the plan together!" She says smiling as your eyes widen and your mind goes elsewhere.
"How do you-!" Before you can finish your sentence you feel your sword flying out of your hands and back into the castle.
"Most important, lesson number one, human, never lose concentration in battle and especially on the enemy!" She says and you turn back towards her and duck just in time to dodge her punch.
Crouching to the ground you lay your hands palm fat on the ground and directing your ki into your hands into the dirt below. 'Hopefully this'll work!' You think to yourself as you watch vines protrude from the ground and wrap around the girl's body and quickly wrapping around her whole body, in a mummy-like wrap.
You stand and give the wrapped girl a wary glance before sprinting off back towards the castle. 'Hopefully this'll work! If it doesn't... Well, hopefully it'll work...' You muse inwardly as you sprint back towards the crumbling castle.
