Kagome wandered around the hallway, looking for people who she could lecture. This isn't right, she thought furiously. How could Dumbledore do such an idiotic thing?
All of a sudden, she caught sight of the Divination teacher. It seemed that she was trying to See. 'Probably to help Dumbledore.'
Kagome hurried over to the teacher, trying to convince her not to join Dumbledore's forces but to no avail.
It was dinnertime by now and Kagome was hungry. But she was also lost. 'Where am I?' she wondered, turning a corner only to find herself in a carpeted corridor that had bloodstains on the walls as wells as chains and skeletons. Shivering, Kagome skittered away from that corridor. It was a long time before food smells wafted towards her nose. Kagome sniffed the air, her eyes closed.
The food smelled wonderful. Roast chicken, lamb chops, and she could have sworn she smelled oden! But then, another scent reached her nose.
Blood.
Kagome gasped. The blood smelt metallic and fresh. Kagome dashed towards the smell. Then, she stopped, looking down at the crumpled figure on the floor. It was the Divination teacher.
Dead.
Her body was torn cleanly in half, blood still dripping. Suddenly Kagome felt something coming up. She vomited once more, this time from the horror of the sight in front of her. The teacher's grey hair was out of its bun, streaked with blood. And the look, the look of anguish and terror etched on the old woman's face. It would stay etched there forever, no matter what.
Dumbledore. Kagome had to get Dumbledore! She stumbled away from the horrific site, eyes watering. It seemed hours later when Kagome finally stumbled into the Great Hall.
"Dumbledore!" She gasped.
"Dumbledore! The-The Divination teacher! S-She's dead!" Kagome cried out. All noise ceased automatically and Dumbledore looked at Kagome sharply. Kagome fell to her knees.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"I mean the Divination teacher is dead! Someone tore her in half! She's dead! Gone! Passed away! How many times do I have to tell you? She's dead! She's dead!" Kagome was half-hysterical, wringing her hands, distressed. She had never seen such a violent image. It-It would be etched in her memory forever.
Dumbledore stood, abruptly. His blue eyes were no longer twinkling and were now cold and hard.
"Lead the way." He commanded. Kagome stood, not sure if her legs would support her. Thankfully, they did. Kagome stumbled ahead of Dumbledore, ranting on and on about the gruesome picture. Kagome finally appeared back to the place where a murder had been initiated. Nothing had changed except for the fact that Dumbledore was now at the scene. The woman was still dead and Kagome was still hysterical.
After that, everything was a blur to Kagome. Dumbledore took the woman to the infirmary and instructed Kagome to go to bed after dinner. Kagome didn't think she'd be able to consume anything permanently so instead, she lay in her bed, wondering.
What was going on? How did her life get so complicated? She had expected this would be a simple job of teaching and then she would go back to Japan and live her life as an ordinary witch. Instead, now she was trying to stop Dumbledore from turning the world into a barren wasteland without any living thing as well as trying to stop Nar-Lord Voldemort from ruling over the world as well as trying to figure out who the murderer of the Divination teacher was AND trying to sort out of her feelings for the two InuYoukai brothers!
Kagome sighed. This was getting much too complicated for her.
'Maybe some sleep will do me good.' Kagome thought, snuggling under the covers. Moonlight shined on her peaceful face, as she slept. However, the moon was not the only thing watching her. Sesshoumaru stood in the shadows, looking at her beautiful, delicate face. And for the first time in his life, he let the barriers fall down for a few moments. In his amber eyes, you could see a lifetime of sadness and love. And for the first time in his life, his eyes dripped with tears. Silently, he turned to walk away. But before he did so, he edged closer to the sleeping form, bent down--and kissed her. A soft, gentle kiss on her cheek. Kagome never knew about the kiss but she subconsciously smiled and snuggled deeper into her covers.
The next morning, Kagome sailed through the corridors, ready to argue her way to freedom for all demons. She had actually managed to convince the Head Girl and almost the Head Boy except he was adamant about standing up against Voldemort and gave her almost the exact same speech as Dumbledore had.
She hummed a tune under her breath as she skipped. Then, she stopped, her bangs falling into her eyes. Professor Dumbledore was speaking to Mcgonagall with an extremely grave look twisting his elderly features. Mcgonagall was bent over, examining something on the floor. The floor was stained, Kagome noticed as she unconsciously took a few more steps.
Stained a shiny red.
Immediately, memories of the day before bubbled up to the surface of her mind and she was overcome with nausea. She staggered and leaned against the cold, stone wall.
Grabbing a hold of herself, she forced herself to walk calmly to Dumbledore and Mcgonagall.
"What's going on?" Kagome inquired politely. Then her eyes fell upon the site of the unfortunate soul of a young man.
The Head Boy. Kagome's eyes widened til they were almost as round as disks. His body was cut in the exact same way as the Divination teacher's. Kagome studied it for a while, trying to figure something out. It looked so strangely familiar.Suddenly she remembered everything. How could she have not noticed before? This-this was a demon's doing. But the only demon here was.Kagome gasped and sped away as fast as her rubbery legs could carry her. She turned a corridor and saw him. Sesshoumaru. He was holding a frightened first year by her mousy brown hair with a threatening look in his eyes.
"Sesshoumaru! No!" Kagome shouted. Sesshoumaru looked up in surprise and dropped the young girl. She gave a frightened gasp and ran for her life.
"Did you do all this?" Kagome screamed at him. "Did you kill those people? Why? Why?"
Tears were streaming down her face. How could he do this?
"Because, if there are none who follow Dumbledore, he cannot carry out his plans." Sesshoumaru said quietly.
"I don't understand!" Kagome wailed, sobbing as she took a step closer to the murderer. "Just please.help me understand. Why's all this happening? Why are you doing this?" Kagome fell into his arms and he hugged her. For one second, Kagome suddenly felt as safe and happy as the time when she had hugged InuYasha once. But she came back to reality. This was not her lover. Why was she hugging him? She was a little, naïve girl trying to save the world and he was a vicious killer. She pulled away from him.
"MURDERER!" She screeched as loud as she could. "EVERYONE COME QUICK! I'VE FOUND THE MURDERER OF THE TWO SOULS."
People came dashing towards the two in all directions. Kagome stood there, screaming and crying while Sesshoumaru stood there, stoic as always.
"TAKE HIM AWAY! HE'S A MURDERER!"
Several professors whipped out their wands but Dumbledore came dashing down the hallway.
"Do not attack him." Dumbledore said in a quiet voice that everyone heard. No one was moving. No one was breathing. Everything was silent. Even everyone's hearts seemed to stop beating. Kagome watched, motionless, as Dumbledore produced a strange square cube made out of metal. Kagome squinted her eyes and saw metal wires running around it, little sparks of magic showing here and there. Dumbledore held it in front of him so there was a little corner of the cube pointing straight at Sesshoumaru. Kagome just watched, not thinking at all, just watching. Dumbledore murmured a word Kagome could not make out and a silver jet of light sped from the corner. It shot straight towards Sesshoumaru who did not move. Sesshoumaru was not even looking at the light. He was staring at Kagome. 'How could you do this to me?', his eyes asked.
"I'm sorry." Kagome murmured. Then she said it louder, sobbing now again. She fell to the floor sobbing.
"I'M SO SORRY!" Kagome yelled. She had never felt such pain in her life. She sobbed and screamed.
The jet of light turned into sparkly, silver mist, hanging lazily over Dumbledore.
"Please don't." Kagome whispered, knowing no one could hear her.
Dumbledore said something else to the mist and it turned into light once more. It went right through Sesshoumaru.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kagome screamed, running for him. Two professors seized her by the arms and no matter how much she struggled, Kagome knew in her heart, soul, and mind that the efforts were futile. As Sesshoumaru fell to the ground, he looked one last time at Kagome. And a tear dripped from his eye.
