Chapter two: Escaped!
"Are you s… sure that killing Moeji w… was a good idea?" a little man whispered. No one answered. Guilt filled their very fibber and they knew she was right.
"She was asking for it! I mean, why'd she have to do that for," a much taller man said behind him. His voice was shaking.
"Anki? Do you think that maybe we might have done the wrong thing?... who knows maybe the other villagers might fin…"
"Shut your mouth! If no tells them than they won't find out!" The man named Anki snapped cutting the taller man off. There was silence among them then…
"FIRE!"
"What the heck is going on?" Anki said turning towards the village. The other men followed his lead and found themselves facing not their village, but a blazing great fire.
"What in hell's name? How did?... We didn't even notice!"
"My wife and daughter!" They all started running at the houses. It might not be too late. Optimism filled their minds. As Anki reached the palace, he found himself at the heart of the fire. Whatever or who ever started the fire started it in the palace. What was going on? There was panic every where. People's screams could be heard. Anki might just have enough time to grab some gold and make his way out of the village in time.
"Anki! Anki help!" said a small voice. He didn't have time for this. Helping the kid would lesson his chance at making it in and out alive. So, he ignored the kid and ran in.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXThat night there was an enormous fire that took the entire Higurashi village. Ruins with burnt bodies lay about. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kagome woke up with a start. She didn't realize what had woken her until the pain in her leg throbbed terribly. Looking around her she realized that the cave was smoking! 'Is there a fire in here?' she thought panic rising in her. She worked her way out of the cave. The blood on her leg was dried up, but as soon as she began to move, the wound bled again. Out in the open she could really see where the smoke came in from. Then last night's event came back to her. She tried to hold the tears back, but they kept coming. When she got a good view of the village, what was left of it stunned her. There was nothing left.
Nothing left……
Nothing left……
It echoed in her for awhile. Then she worked her way into the forest. 'Those people betrayed you. It's a good thing that they died' half of her thought this, but the other screamed out 'the women and children had nothing to do with it'. She was so confused. Who had started the fire? Anki wanted to be king so he wouldn't burn the village down. The Higurashi village didn't have any enemies so who would set fire on them? Who could? She thought of Moeji…… She was the most loyal servant of them all. That night, even when they had warned her not to tell the princess what was happening, Moeji dared to. She was the only one that told Kagome what was going to happen. Last night when she ran, Moeji tried to hold them back. Now she thought of Moeji. What had happened to her? She bent over and started crying. After about 1 hour when the fire had almost stopped burning she started to make her way out to sea. She had walked a couple yards when a voice snapped her out of the depressed state.
"Arg! Stupid smoke!" Ahead of her stood a tall man with beautiful white silk hair crouched over steadying himself by pawing the tree with his right hand. This shocked her. Kagome didn't think there was anyone left.
"Aw h…hello? Are you okay?" She heard herself say. Kagome couldn't help it. She never thought twice when there were people in need of help. This man may be someone who might want to kill her seeing as she was being chased yesterday. With that thought she quickly turned to hide when he beckoned her towards him.
"Girl! I don't care who you are, but I am god damn blind and my sense of smell has failed me so I need you to direct me towards the direction of the sea," He said all of this very fast so kagome couldn't really make out what he had just said, but she did hear blind and smell so was sure this guy, who ever he was, was a victim of the fire. Then she was also startled when she realized that he shouldn't have known she was there if he was turned around…
"Stay there Mister. I'm making my way over to help you," But that was harder than it sounded. Her wounded leg was still bleeding, which would explain the dizziness she felt in the head from the lost of blood, so she sort of did a staggered dance instead of walking over.
"Girl what is taking you so long!" At this he turned around and collapsed against the tree with sweat all down his face. This man was the most handsome person. He wore a loose white long sleeve shirt that was tucked into his also matching loose white pants with a red belt. The shirt was wrapped around the wrists with red bands. Over his white shirt was a red vest. His matching red boots toped his outfit off.
"Well excuse me for being hurt, but still trying to help you in a slow and weak state!" Kagome yelled in frustration as she tried to free her dragging injured leg from its tangled mess of vines. She really was trying, but what angered her was that even though she was trying her best to help, this man was yelling at her. Maybe she should just leave Mr. Bossy alone and help herself…? Yes she'll do just that! At that finished thought, Kagome turned around and worked her way back. She didn't know the outside world very well or even these woods. She read books, was told stories, and went on trips, but was never permitted to be on her own to explore.
"Where a… are… do you think you're g… going?" The man could barely talk because he was breathing so hard.
"I am about to leave you to find your own way, but'll change my mind if manners were improved.." Kagome mocked. She didn't know the poor guy but teasing him was fun.
Swish
"Ah!" Kagome yelled and tripped over the rocked behind her. A GRAND big snake blocked her path, hissing wildly. As she fell over, her clumsy fall made her land on her bleeding leg and made it bleed even more. Now Kagome really felt the head ach. She was so dizzy now that her vision suddenly fogged up. There was nothing she could do to block the bleeding at her leg and with the great loss of blood, her energy was draining away.
"HA HA ha ha ha ha!" Why is this man laughing when a snake was about to devourer her then do the same to him. THEY WERE ABOUT TO DIE!
