Chapter 7: "The Chaos Begins"
(BAM! BAM!)
"OPEN YOU STUPID DOOR!" Inuyasha shouted as he continuously kept trying to ram the metal cell door down with his right shoulder. After a few more tries, he finally stopped to catch his breath. 'Damn! Why am I so worn out?' He mentally questioned as he hunched over slightly and wiped the beads of sweat from off of his forehead with the back of his left hand.
Suddenly, Inuyasha realized why he felt so weak. 'SHIT! Tonight's the new moon!' He mentally shouted in realization. 'It just HAD to be tonight, didn't it? Great! This is just fucking great!' Even though he still had sharp nails and fangs, he knew that it wouldn't be long until he—as well as Kagome—would transform completely human.
The feeling of dread started welling up within Inuyasha's gut as he thought of Kagome, knowing that her life was in danger—whether she even had the chance to turn fully human or not before Sesshoumaru would kill her. 'Kagome… I have to get out of here and save her!' He mentally declared as he once again prepared himself to charge at the cell door. But before he even had the chance to try again, all of the lights within the holding cell area suddenly went out.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha exclaimed out loud in a confused tone as he noticed the dim back-up lights turn on suddenly out in the small hallway. A mere second later, the clicking sounds of all the cell doors being automatically unlocked could be heard echoing throughout the area. 'All the power's been shut off? But… why?' He mentally questioned as he slowly made his way out of the now-opened cell and into the small hallway. 'This isn't a good sign. Something must've happened…' His enhanced vision was quickly fading, making it difficult to see as he made his way towards the exit. When he finally made it to the double steel doors, he was just about to open them when all of a sudden he could hear what sounded like many shuffling feet scraping against the ground out in the next hallway, as well as some eerie moaning. 'Shit! All the zombie prisoners are out now!' He thought with slight panic as he looked down at his now normal-looking finger nails. 'I gotta get past them before I turn fully human!'
Not wanting to waste another precious second, Inuyasha yanked open both of the steel doors and quickly darted out into the next hallway and accidentally ran straight into a zombie that was standing just outside of the doors. Because of the powerful impact though, the zombie ended up falling backwards into another nearby zombie, causing them to both to fall down onto the hard cemented ground.
"GET OUTTA MY WAY!" Inuyasha loudly hollered as he kept shoving and punching zombies away from him as he attempted to quickly run past them in the crowded hallway. There were so many zombies in that hallway, that it was a guarantee that any normal human wouldn't have made it out of there alive.
Finally, Inuyasha made it to the main security door that was at the end of the long hallway and quickly exited, making sure to close the door behind him—although he didn't know if it would do any good or not. He then dashed up the long, steep set of stone stairs and exited through the set of iron doors that were at the top.
Even though he was running out of breath, Inuyasha continued on. He quickly ran around to the front of the main foyer of the Mansion and ran up the grand staircase; skipping up every two steps so he could get to the top faster. Once he finally reached the top of the staircase, he then turned left and exited through one of the many doors that were on that level.
After several minutes and venturing down several different hallways and rooms, Inuyasha finally reached his room. Once inside, he quickly made his way over to the closet and yanked open the door. He then kneeled down onto the hardwood floor and then carefully removed a loose wooden board, which revealed a secret hidden space underneath. He then reached into the open space and hastily retrieved all of the contents inside, which was a large white metal "First Aid" kit, a large military survival knife, a silver Magnum Revolver and a full box of .357 Magnum rounds.
These were Inuyasha's 'in-case-anyone-tries-to-kill-me-when-I'm-human' resources that he'd somehow managed to steal over the past three years without anyone noticing.
Inuyasha tucked the survival knife onto the left side of his belt and then started loading the empty Magnum with the bullets. When the gun had been fully loaded, he then emptied the remainder of the box of bullets into his left pants pocket. Since the First Aid kit was too big to fit into any of his pants pockets, he decided to leave it behind.
In that short amount of time, Inuyasha had already turned completely human. His fangs were gone and his nails were a normal human's now. His normal golden eye color had also changed into a dark chestnut brown. The only physical trait that remained the same was his hair color. Also, all of his enhanced senses: sight, smell & hearing—were that of a normal human's, as well as his enhanced fighting abilities and stamina.
'Being fully human really sucks ass!' Inuyasha thought stubbornly as he grabbed his gun and stood up from off the floor and headed towards the door. He hated the feeling of being weak and vulnerable—especially now of all times! And without being able to use their Demonic abilities, his and Kagome's chances of survival and escaping from this hellish place were very slim. 'I swear I'll find you, Kagome!' He then mentally declared as he started making his way out of his room to head towards the lab facilities. 'Just hang in there!'
Kagome didn't know how long she'd been sitting on the floor in the dimly lit room, crying and cradling her dead mother's body within her arms, but she didn't really care either. All she could think about was that she had failed in trying to save her mother. 'First dad and now mom…' She sadly thought to herself as constant tears continued to flow freely down both sides of her cheeks. 'Souta's the only person I have left now… and Inuyasha.'
Kagome suddenly remembered that her new friend was still locked up in the prison somewhere back inside the Mansion. 'I hope he's ok…' She worriedly thought to herself as she wiped her tear-stained cheeks with the back of her right hand. There was no doubt in her mind that he'd escaped his cell by now. Even though she was in another room, she had faintly heard the electronic door in the other room unlock all by itself after the power suddenly went out. 'I have to get out of here.' She then mentally concluded as she pushed a few strands of her mother's black hair away from her still-open clouded eyes. Carefully, she then laid her mother down onto the floor and gently closed her mother's eyelids shut, all the while saying a silent prayer of forgiveness.
After a moment, Kagome stood up off of the floor and inhaled deeply to try and calm her nerves down. She then walked over to the door and tried turning the doorknob, but found that the door was locked. 'Damn! I need something to unlock the door with…' She thought in frustration as she scanned the poorly lit room for anything that could possibly be useful.
Suddenly, Kagome spotted a saw a small silver object lying on the floor close to the wall where her mother had been bound. She then walked over to the object and picked it up to see what it was. "A hairpin?" She quietly mumbled. "It must've fallen out of mom's hair…" She then proceeded back over to the door again and tried picking the lock, even though she had no clue how to.
(CLICK!)
As if by some miracle, Kagome somehow finally managed to get the door unlocked. But before she exited the room, she sadly glanced back down over at her mother's body. "I love you, mom. May you rest in peace now…" She quietly said, blinking back more tears as she proceeded to exit the room.
Kagome carefully peered out from behind the observation room's electronic door and cautiously glanced down both sides of the dimly-lit hallway to see if the coast was clear and found that it was. 'Good.' She mentally thought to herself as she quietly stepped out into the hallway. 'Now which way was it to the elevator lift? I think it was—wait a minute. I can't go back there even if I knew where it was! It won't work 'cause the powers out! Crap! There HAS to be another way to get out of here…!'
Kagome just stood in the middle of the hallway for a moment with a frown upon her face as she placed both of her hands upon the sides of her hips. 'Which way should I go?' She mentally questioned as she glanced down both ends of the hallway once again. "I think I'll go… right." She then quietly mumbled to herself as she proceeded walking in that direction. "I just hope it's the right way out of here though…"
Fifteen minutes later…
The sounds of Kagome's boots seemed to echo loudly amongst the dead silence within the hallway that she was currently venturing down for probably the third time now. 'This place is so frickin' confusing! I have no idea where the hell I'm going!' She thought with a frustrated sigh. It seemed like no matter which endless hallway that she decided to take, it always seemed to bring her back to the same locations that she had already been to. And to make matters even worse, she had also transformed completely human as well.
A little while ago, Kagome had realized that she was becoming really tired from all of the walking around that she'd been doing, which normally wouldn't have bothered her that much. She then soon discovered that all of her physical Demon traits—fangs, nails and abnormal eye color—were absent as well.
(SQUEAK!)
Kagome suddenly jumped slightly and gasped out in fear. 'What the hell was that?' She thought with paranoia as she looked all around the area for the rodent-like 'squeak' that she'd just heard seconds ago. Her heart was beating so fast the she swore that she was going to have a heart attack at any given moment.
After waiting a few more seconds and not hearing anything else, Kagome inhaled deeply to calm her nerves down before she resumed with walking again. "Here I am, all by myself wondering around in some strange, poorly lit, secret underground lab facility without any of my Demonic abilities or any weapons to defend myself with in case I come across any zombies or even that Sesshoumaru guy!" She quietly exclaimed to herself as she absent-mindedly fiddled with the small hairpin within her fingers and then placed it within her left pants pocket. "I'm SO lucky, aren't I?"
All of a sudden, the sound of a standard door being opened and then closed occurred in the far distance somewhere in the previous hallway, which startled Kagome. 'Shit! Someone's coming!' She mentally thought in panic. 'I have to find somewhere to hide!' Without giving much thought, she quickly ran over to the nearest door and immediately entered the room, making sure to quietly shut the door behind her.
Upon entering the room, Kagome quickly noticed that it was just a small office. There were two plain wooden desks that each had a computer and other random office supplies situated upon the desk's surface, a few metal filing cabinets that were placed randomly around the room, a large office-sized printer, a large cork bulletin board hanging on the wall that had a couple of post-it notes tacked onto the front of it and there was also many unimportant papers and books scattered amongst the floor as well. A small metal ceiling fan that was situated above in the middle of the ceiling was slowly rotating, using whatever momentum it had left from the lack of power supply, thus creating short and annoying screeching noises every so often. There was also another door on the opposite side of the room, which was cracked open slightly.
After giving herself a moment to calm herself down, Kagome then cautiously leaned her head onto the side of door in which she just came through to listen for any noises. It sounded faint at first, but she could hear what sounded like… footsteps, which were sounding louder now, making their way down the hallway towards the room that she was currently hiding in.
Panicked, Kagome ran as fast as possible to the opposite side of the room towards the other door and then quickly slipped inside the other room, quietly shutting the door behind her. She then turned around and discovered that she was now standing in what appeared to be a large gym-like locker room. There were dozens and dozens of gray metal lockers all lined up side-by-side all along the entire walls, as well as some lockers situated in rows down the aisles, located within the middle of the entire room. Wooden benches were also situated here and there, spaced evenly apart in front of some of the lockers as well. Overall, the room looked pretty normal—with the exception of some of the ceiling lights flickering on and off, thus creating a creepy atmosphere.
(SCRAPE… THUMP. SCRAPE… THUMP.)
For a split second, Kagome was unable to breath upon hearing the sounds of shuffling feet somewhere within the locker room. Without thinking, she practically jumped into one of the nearby open lockers and, with some difficulty, quickly shut the locker door closed. 'I can't believe I ACTUALLY squeezed into this small space!' She mentally exclaimed as she tried to move her arm a bit in the tight space, but found it difficult to do so without making some kind of noise. 'I hope that whoever's out there doesn't find me!' She then peered out through the small slits on the locker's door to see if anyone was coming, but found that no one was there.
(SCRAPE, SCRAPE… THUMP, THUMP. SCRAPE… THUMP. SCRAPE… SCRAPE…)
As Kagome continued to stand within the small locker in silence, her eyes suddenly widened upon just realizing that there were more than just one person shuffling around inside the locker room… The question now was, how many?
A disturbing moan suddenly sounded, echoing throughout the entire room, which caused Kagome to almost jump in surprise. 'Oh my God! I'm stuck inside a locker with probably a DOZEN zombies out there!' She mentally exclaimed feeling even more panicked now. 'Crap! What the hell am I going do now?' She then peered out through the locker's slits once again and glanced over towards the door and found that the coast was all clear.
Hesitating a moment to take a calming deep breath and to gather some inner courage, Kagome then proceeded to open the locker door from the inside as quietly as possible. After successfully completing the task, she then quickly yet quietly darted for the door that led back into the office room. Upon reaching the door, she quickly turned the door's knob, but found that it was locked. 'What the hell? The door's locked!' She thought in frustration as she twisted the doorknob one last time before giving up. She then quickly retrieved the hairpin from within her pants pocket and started fumbling with the door's lock to try to unlock it.
By now, all of the zombies within the locker room had sensed all of the commotion that the teenage half-Demon was creating. As if it was some loud disturbing orchestra, the zombies all started moaning and shuffling their way towards the girl, craving her warm flesh in which they could detect.
'Unlock you stupid thing!' Kagome mentally shouted as she continued to fumble with the lock with trembling hands. All of a sudden, the hairpin slipped out of her fingers and dropped onto the floor. Just as she was about to bend down to pick it up, she quickly glanced over her shoulder just in time to see a lone zombie lunge straight for her.
"AHH!" Kagome screamed in terror as the zombie grabbed a tight hold of both of her shoulders and pushed her up against the door. It opened its foul-smelling mouth and then lunged forward to take a bite from the right side of her neck, but she luckily was able to wrestle her left arm free in time and managed to hold the side of the zombie's face away from her so that the zombie couldn't bite her. Then, using all the strength that she had, she roughly shoved the zombie backwards, who then fell down onto the floor.
'Shit! Where'd the hairpin go?' Kagome thought in panic as she frantically searched the floor for the hairpin. When she finally spotted it, she quickly retrieved it and then went back over to try and unlock the door again.
A couple of feet behind Kagome, the fallen zombie that she had just pushed down onto the ground was now starting to crawl towards her, PLUS three more zombies—a hefty one over on the left and two others over to the right—just rounded the corners of the lockers, heading in her direction as well. She was so determined with trying to pick the door's lock that she was oblivious to how close all of the zombies were to her.
The hefty shuffling zombie on the left though was closer to Kagome than the others. When it reached about two feet away from her, it suddenly let out an unearthly sounding moan and then hungrily lunged itself right into her with outstretched arms.
Being caught off guard, Kagome was suddenly knocked down onto the ground with the hefty, disgusting, decomposing zombie right on top of her, snarling in her face. "GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!" She screamed fearfully as she tried to wrestle the heavy zombie off of her. Out of the corner of her eye, she also noticed that the zombie that was crawling was really close to her now as well. This caused her to panic even more, which made her loose her control of thinking straight.
As Kagome started thrashing about in panic, the zombie that was on top of her took the opportunity once it saw that her left forearm was exposed and quickly turned its head and bit down into her flesh with its yellow rotted teeth.
"AHH!" Kagome screamed out loud, feeling excruciating pain from her now-injured limb. Using her other arm, she started roughly punching the zombie in its face until it finally let go of her. She then forcefully shoved the zombie off to the side of her and then quickly rolled away from it in the opposite direction. But before she even had to chance to get up, the crawling zombie had suddenly reached out and grabbed a tight hold of her right leg and then forcefully bit down right through her jeans.
"AHH!" Kagome screamed out in agony as she immediately started using her other leg to kick the zombie in its face until it finally let go of her. She then quickly scrambled up off of the floor and started limping away from all of the zombies. 'I don't have time to unlock that damn door!' She mentally stated as she limped around the end locker's corner and then ventured down one of the random aisles while clutching her injured arm, trying to ignore the throbbing pain, as well as the pain within her leg. 'There has to be another way out of here!'
Kagome limped all the way down to the end of the aisle and then rounded the corner, heading down the next aisle, all the while continuing to search for another way out. So far, she found nothing. The only other way out of the locker room was through the locked door to the office room.
Just as Kagome was loosing hope, she suddenly glanced up at the ceiling and spotted some sort of large ventilation shaft that was placed above some of the nearby lockers in that aisle. 'I can probably escape through there!' She thought with a new sense of hope as she eagerly stepped up onto one of the nearby wooden benches that was in front of a few lockers. With all her might, she jumped up as high as she could and grabbed a hold of the top edge of the lockers and then with much effort, managed to hoist herself up onto the very top.
Breathing heavily from exhaustion and pain, Kagome took a moment to rest, upon seeing that she was safely away from the roaming zombies below, who were continuing to moan and wander mindlessly around the locker room, still searching for her.
After she was confident that she could continue, Kagome started carefully crawling across the top of the lined lockers on her hands and knees towards the spot in the ceiling where the ventilation grate was located. Once she reached the location, she then carefully reached up and grabbed a hold of the loose grate and started pulling down with as much strength as she could muster. After a few attempts, the grate finally gave away. Kagome then carelessly threw the metal grate covering down onto the ground below before she climbed up into the dark, large ventilation shaft and started crawling to who-the-hell-knows where.
After a few minutes of crawling through the pitch-black ventilation shaft, Kagome finally spotted some light that was shining up from another grate up ahead. When she finally reached the spot, she looked down through the grated covering and found that she was directly above a hallway somewhere. Her eyes eagerly peered through the grate to see if there was anyone or anything down below and she strained her ears to hear for any noises. '…I don't hear or see anything down there, so I think it's safe to get out of here now.' She mentally concluded as she started pounding both of her fists down onto the loose grate.
After a few moments, the grate finally gave away and went crashing down onto the tiled floor below, creating a loud echoing sound within the entire hallway. Kagome stayed completely silent as she patiently waited in the ventilation shaft for about a minute or two to see if the loud noise attracted anyone or anything's attention. When nothing came, she carefully lowered herself feet first out of the grate opening and then dropped down onto the floor below.
Pain immediately shot up through Kagome's injured right leg the second she landed upon the ground. A muffled cry of pain escaped her lips as she bent down slightly and protectively hugged her injured leg to her chest. 'Damn it! It hurts so much!' She mentally exclaimed as her eyes started welling up with unshed tears from all of the pain that she was feeling at that very moment. She looked down at her injured leg and noticed that blood had already started seeping through her slightly torn jeans where the zombie had bitten her. She then glanced over at her injured forearm and noticed that blood was trailing all the way down to her hand as well. 'I have to stop the bleeding!' She rationally thought as she grabbed a hold of the very bottom of her pink mud-stained tank top and started ripping it until she had a long, decent-sized strip, thus causing her to have a sort of belly shirt for herself now. She then tore the large strip of cloth down the middle to create two separate strips of cloth and then immediately started tightly wrapping each injured limb just slightly above the bite marks, so it would help to slow down the amount of bleeding.
After she had finished bandaging up her wounds, Kagome shakily stood up and placed her right hand over her now sweaty forehead. 'Why do I… feel so weak now all of a sudden?' She mentally questioned herself as her entire body swayed slightly due from the dizziness that she was suddenly feeling. 'I must've lost a lot of blood… I think.' She shook her head and tried to regain her normal balance. 'I better keep moving…'
With much effort, the teenage half-Demon started to slowly limp down the hallway, while staying close to the left side of the wall, trailing her hands along the wall to help support her along so she wouldn't accidentally fall. There would be certain moments when she had no choice but to stop moving because the dizziness would become too overwhelming. Still, she continued on.
Before Kagome even made it half-way down the hallway, the sudden sound of a girl chuckling erupted from behind her somewhere. Startled, she immediately halted and quickly turned around to see who it was and found herself facing a girl, about a year or two older than herself, standing about two car lengths away from her with a smirk plastered upon her face. The girl had short black hair that was being held back with a red headband and she was wearing a matching black leather tube top, short mini skirt and knee-length high-heeled boots. 'She's must be Demon…' She mentally concluded as she noticed as her vision was starting to blur slightly, that the girl's eyes were a dark crimson color.
"Aww, I see that the little human girl got herself injured." The Demon girl mocked in an uncaring, sarcastic manner as she sighed in disappointment. "I was so certain that those stupid zombies would've finished you off. Guess I was wrong…"
Kagome glared at the unknown Demon. "Who are you? What's going on here?" She demanded in a strict tone. 'SHE must've been the one that locked the office door on me!' She then angrily thought. Getting a little bolder now that she was angry, she spoke up again. "What do you want?"
The Demon girl, known as Yura just snorted. "Why should I tell you?" She smartly replied as she stubbornly placed both of her hands upon the sides of her hips. She then glared and smiled maliciously. "I'm just going to kill you anyway!" With that said, she suddenly sprinted forwards towards the human girl.
Before Kagome even had the chance to react, she suddenly found herself being forcefully slammed up against the nearby wall, being almost choked to death by the Demon girl. 'I can't… I can't breathe!' She thought in panic as she desperately flailed her arms and legs about, hoping to strike her attacker.
"Stay still you little bitch!" Yura angrily hissed through clenched teeth as she tightened her hold upon the human, after getting smacked in the face by one of the girl's flailing fists.
All of a sudden, a loud hiss-like sound echoed from somewhere down the end of the hallway from where Yura had previously came from. The strange noise alerted both of the girls' attention, causing them to both halt their actions as they turned their heads at the same time towards the direction of where the hiss sound came from.
At that very moment, a hideous looking creature emerged sideways from around the hallway's end corner, using its massive sharp claws to dig into the left side of the wall as it continued to crawl in a stalking-like manner towards the girls. The creature was about the size of a regular person—maybe even a few inches taller. Its entire body was made up of a disgusting red slimy tissue-like muscle, like its skin had been turned inside out or something. The top of the creature's abnormally deformed head was nothing but an exposed, pulsating bloody brain. There were no eyes or nose upon its face, but it did have a large, wide mouth. Its lips were currently curled back in an almost grinning manner, exposing many dagger-like razor sharp teeth. When the creature hissed at the girl's again, a very long, red tongue slid out from within its mouth, dangling off to the side a bit, causing saliva to continuously dribble down the side of its chin.
"Shit!" Yura quietly hissed in a fearful sounding tone as her eyes widened slightly, while she unconsciously loosened her grip from around the human girl's neck.
Kagome's eyes also widened with fear. "W-what the hell is that?" She exclaimed in an almost whispering tone as she watched as the creature continued to crawl/stalk towards them.
Yura nervously gulped. "That's one of the Corporation's earlier experiments. It must've escaped its cage once the power went out…" She informed, momentarily forgetting all about killing the girl. "It kills anything that gives off any type of body heat—even Demons like me." She gulped again. "Just don't… move."
Kagome did not reply, nor did she nod her head in acknowledgement either. She just continued to keep her eyes upon the creature, too paralyzed with fear to even look away.
Suddenly without warning, the creature growled as it quickly leapt from off of the side of the wall and tackled both of the now screaming girls onto the floor. The creature loudly hissed right in front of the girl's faces as it used its large clawed hands to pin them down onto the floor.
Yura screamed in pure terror as she started slashing violently at the creature with her own sharp claws, which appeared to be minuscule compared to the creature's own claws. As a last attempt to break free from the creature's hold, she forcefully dug her claws into its left arm, the one that was currently pinning her down onto the ground, and managed to draw blood. The creature immediately pulled its arm back, hissing and screeching loudly in pain. Taking the opportunity to escape, she quickly scrambled away from the creature and made a desperate run for it, heading down the hallway and finally out of sight.
Kagome on the other hand was still at the creature's mercy as it continued to screech and hiss from its injured wounds, while it still had her pinned to the ground. She didn't have the strength or her claws at the moment to fight the creature off of her. Yet despite her weaknesses, she still attempted to try and lift the creature's hand from off of her—even though it was pointless—while continuing to scream in fear.
The creature screeched one last time before it shook its head and then slowly leaned in towards the terrified girl's face, while large droplets of drool dripped off of its teeth and splattered down onto her forehead and cheeks. It hissed lowly as it opened its massive mouth even wider, getting ready to devour her until it all of a sudden halted its actions.
Dumbfounded and terrified, all Kagome did was stare up at the creature above her, wondering why it didn't attack her yet. 'What's it doing?' She mentally questioned in confusion.
The creature lowly growled and then slid its tongue over Kagome's face and neck as if it was studying her. After a short moment, the creature hissed one last time before it suddenly removed its clawed hand from off of her and then quickly leapt up and attached itself upside down onto the ceiling. Barely making a sound, the creature then quickly scrambled off in the direction of where Yura had fled to only moments earlier.
Still lying on the floor in the same position and breathing heavily from fear, Kagome took a moment to regain her composure before she slowly sat up from off of the floor. 'What… just happened? How come it didn't kill me?' She mentally pondered as she started wiping the creature's disgusting drool from off of her head and cheeks. 'Well, I'm sure as hell not going to stick around to find out!' After carefully picking herself up off of the floor, she then started limping down the hallway, heading in the opposite direction from where the creature had gone to.
After a few minutes of venturing down the hallway, continuous constant waves of dizziness were preventing Kagome from being able to continue on. Her injured limbs were also feeling even more painful now as well. 'I have to rest for a moment.' She mentally stated as tears started running down both of her cheeks. 'My insides feel like they're on fire and I can't even think straight anymore! What's happening to me? Am I… going to die?' With that last thought, she suddenly collapsed down onto the floor and started crying out loud. She knew that making so much noise would most likely attract the attention of zombies or maybe even creatures like the one she'd just encountered minutes ago, but she didn't really care at the moment. So much had happened to her in the past two days; encountering freakish dead things, getting kidnapped, escaping death on more than one occasion, loosing her mother…
Just thinking about her mother made Kagome cry even more. She was scared, injured, filthy and alone. All she wanted to do was go back home and forget all about this unrealistic nightmare. "Inuyasha…!" She suddenly called out in a desperate, choked voice while still crying as she started desperately crawling on her hands and knees towards the nearest random door, her injured leg leaving a bloody trail behind her. "Please someone… help me!" When she finally reached the nearest door, she reached up as high as she could and turned the door knob. When the door opened, she crawled inside the small, dark space and closed the door behind her.
Before Kagome collapsed into total unconsciousness, she faintly heard Yura's tortured screams off in the far distance somewhere.
Breathing heavily from a massive adrenaline rush, Kagura continued her brisk walking down the hallway in which she was currently traveling down. Tucked under her right arm were the blueprints to the entire lab facilities and tightly clenched within her left hand was the 9mm handgun. She had discarded the flashlight long ago once she left the lower basement levels, due to the batteries dying out on her.
As Kagura made a quick left turn to venture down another hallway, she suddenly collided into someone's strong, muscular chest. Feeling dazed, she quickly backed up a few feet and looked up to see whom she had run into… and almost had a heart attack upon seeing that it was none other than Sesshoumaru, standing there glaring at her. 'SHIT!' She mentally screamed as she took a few more steps away from the intimidating male Demon.
Sesshoumaru just smirked evilly, sensing the nervousness and practically smelling the fear that was emitting from the female Demon before him. He also noticed that she was holding a copy of the lab facility's blueprints and a handgun. "Where are we off to in such a hurry, Kagura?" He coolly questioned as he continued to glare at her. "You're not planning on leaving now, are you?"
Kagura glared hatefully at the Demon. "Get out of my way, you bastard!" She angrily spat. "I've had enough of this Corporation's shit and I'm through with taking any more orders from YOU!" With that said, she attempted to walk past Sesshoumaru, but he quickly stepped in front of her, blocking her way. She pushed him and then angrily swiped her clawed hand at him, but he just simply dodged her attack. Fed up with playing games, she then aimed the handgun at the Demon's head and fired. Her aiming was poor and therefore resulted in missing her target by a whole three feet away.
Sesshoumaru chuckled at Kagura's futile attempts at trying to hurt him. In one easy swift movement, he knocked the gun from out of her hands and then reached over and tightly grasped her neck, lifting her high up into the air above him. She tried spitting on him, but ended up spitting on herself, which made him chuckle once more at the woman.
"Y-you bas-stard!" Kagura managed to utter as she desperately tried to pry the Demon's hands from off of her neck as she struggled to breathe.
Sesshoumaru just smirked and evilly glared. "Time to die, bitch!" He cruelly stated as he ran his other sharp-clawed hand right into the middle of Kagura's stomach and all the way out through the middle of her back.
Kagura gasped out in shock and pain at the excruciating feeling of her entire mid-section being unmercifully ripped through. The pain was so intense that she felt like passing out and screaming out loud at the same time, but would be damned to let that bastard have the pleasure of seeing her weak like that.
Satisfied with actions, Sesshoumaru grinned as he slowly withdrew his clawed hand from out of the Demon woman's stomach, as if to torture her even more, and then carelessly pushed her backwards down onto the hard floor, chuckling as he did so. He then turned around and started walking away down the previous hallway to somewhere.
"Y-you'll g-get what's coming t-to you…" Kagura muttered weakly as she tightly clasped her hands over the large, gaping bloody wound of her stomach, all the while coughing and sputtering up blood from out of her mouth. She could already feel her entire body growing weaker by the second, due from the intense amount of pain and blood loss from her wound. There was nothing she could do now except for to close her eyes and wait for death…
