chapter 2 secrets, lies, memories and a song.
kagome
The room was dark, and she had no idea where she was. Sure she'd organized this but she did not realize they'd knock her unconcious. "what did I honestly expect?" she was talking to herself seeing as she was completely alone in the room. She watched the door, seeing as they should feed her. Sighing she released her hands and feet from the feeble knots and stretched. "this had better work." She stood up and was about to turn around when the demon's voice rang out from the doorway, "what had better work?" 'uh-oh busted!' she was panicing now, if they found out it could jeperdize her plans! "nothing." The demon did not seem to buy her excuse and decided she'd need some persuassion "we'll see…..Hey sango! Miroku! Get in here and bring naraku! This girls hiding something!" she paniced and dropped to her knees, "please, no I swear I am not hiding anything!" it was no use, the demon just would simply not buy it. "what are you going on about sesshomaru?" kagome turned to the door and saw the two men and the woman standing there. "I heard the girl talking to herself and she said 'this had better work', I asked her to elaborate and she refused."
Everyone looked at her, some glaring, some confused, and one was pissed. "leave us for a moment." Grudgingly the 'kidnappers' obliged and left naraku and kagome alone. "I'm sorry naraku, I didn't realise he was behind me….they did such a bad job before, I figured they'd be dumb enough to leave me in a room by myself…" he narrowed his eyes, "you can't keep making these slip ups, it could land us both in a world of trouble. That demon could kill us faster than you can blink, same with the bounty hunter. You'll have to be punnished." She nodded motion for him to hit her. He shook his head, "I'm not gonna hit my sister." He walked out of the room and said "punish her, but do not defile her. Ou-her father could have all of us thrown in the electric chair if she is harmed like that." He started to walk down the hall and stopped for a second, "miroku, you will come with me, I can't trust you." Miroku hung his head and followed naraku out of the dungeon.
Sango looked to the demon, "I suggest we just don't feed her for the next couple o' hours. Don't know why she has to be punnished though.." she followed naraku and miroku carrying the tray of food she was supposed to give to kagome. Sesshomaru followed shortly after.
They went into naraku's office (AN/ yes he has them keeping her at his summer house. It was going to be an abandoned factory, but this is a fake kidnap, not a real one.) and his phone rang, "keep quiet," he picked up the reciever and was greeted by the president's slightly pissed off voice, "naraku, kagome's hiding somewhere again. We have to find her before the press get a hold of this and it ruins me. When you get her back tell her to pack for military school." The line went dead before he could reply. "wow what an ass." Naraku nodded with sango's statement. "alright it is time to level with you about this job." He paused to make sure he had everyone's full attention. "I arranged this to help kagome. As you have head her father is quite the ass hole, and I decided he should know what it's like to not see someone for several months." Sango and miroku nodded in understanding while sesshomaru gave him a questionable look. "it sounds as though you know her family quite well." "ah yes, well we grew up together," "so she believes you are turning against her?" "that is correct."
Kagome faught back a fit of giggles as she listened to the converation, naraku had taped the whole thing from her father's call to the explination. She looked around and searched the room, she used her miko powers to check the hall, and when all was clear, she muttered, "nice one bro." She was currently in her room, the same room she stayed in every summer. It wasn't huge, but it wasn't tiny either, she could live in it for as long as she had to, she had junk food and pop, enough to last nearly a year, hidden everywhere. She opened a bag of skittles and sat back on her bed, and thought about the kidnappers, well one of them. His long silver hair, burning amber eyes, she just had this weird de-ja-vu feeling that she'd met him before.
flash back
A 14 year-old kagome was splashing around in the ocean, just outside of her father's summer home in Hawaii. She was so busy laughing that she didn't see, or hear, every one running out of the water screaming "shark!" until she got shoved underwater. She opened her eyes and saw a ten foot shark right in front of her face, she stayed absolutely still hopping it wouldn't see her. She chanced a look around and saw a boy with silver hair coming up behind the shark, she watched in awe as he hit it. Unfortunately the first strike didn't knock it unconcious and it attacked the first thing it saw. Her. It bit her stomach, before it was struck again, rendering it dead. The last thing she remembered before passing out was the boy with silver hair and amber eyes swimming over to her.
end flash back
when a knock sounded at the door she nearly jumped out of her skin. She shoved the skittles under her pillow and pretended to be sleeping. She heard the door open and felt some one's gaze on her back. She cracked open her eyes and saw, in her mirror, who was standing at the door. It was naraku. "naraku?" he entered the room and closed the door, "yes kag's?" she sat up and looked at him. "do you remember that summer 5 years ago? When I was attacked by the shark?" he gave her a concerned look, "yes, of course I do, I was so scared that I'd lose you." She sighed, "I…..do you know the name of the boy that saved me?"
looking towards the door his eyes widened. "yeah……….you don't think it was…..do you?" she nodded. "all I remember before I passed out was a boy with silver hair and amber eyes saving me." She glanced at the floor. Neither of them noticed that sango was standing in the doorway with a tray of food. She turned and left before they caught her. "hey sesshomaru, did you ever happen to save some one's life?" he gave her a confused look. "I tried but I was told she died. Her family sued mine, said it was my fault and blah blah blah." She nodded and left the room.
Sango decided to wander the halls, and when she passed by kagome's room she heard singing.
Perfect by nature, icons of self-indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world.
She stopped to listen, unnaware that sesshomaru was beside her, listening as well.
That never was and never will be
Have you no shame, don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled.
They both heard kagome mutter softly, "I swear I'm gonna kill you kikyou." And continue singing.
Look here she comes now -
Bow down and stare in wonder.
Oh, how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she -
Her voice was soft yet harsh, it took their breath away. If she was going to sing every night, then this could drag out for a while.
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.
Without the mask
Where will you hide?
Can't find yourself,
Lost in your lies.
I wonder why she seems to hate her sister. sesshoamru thought to himself.
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore.
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.
Never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
And somehow now you're everybody's fool.
She ended her song as she leaned against the window. As she stared up to the pale full moon she let a tear find its way down her cheek. About half way through her song she'd sensed sango and sesshomaru outside of her door, listening to her sing. She heard the door open slowly and sango stepped in, with sesshomaru right behind her. "kagome?" she had used kagome's name before, but when sango spoke it this time there was a question behind her voice, that asked is-it-really-you? Kagome looked between sango and sesshomaru, and she nodded. Sango ran over and embraced her in a tight hug.
