Kuro was in a long hallway with thousands of doors and no end in sight. She was walking down the corridor with Koga and the producer.
"This way," Koga said.
"What's this way?" Kuro asked.
"The source," the producer said.
"And what, exactly am I supposed to do when I get there?"
"The prophecy does not say," the producer said.
"Wait a minute," Kuro said, stopping dead. "Prophecy? You mean I've been running all over this place doing errands for crazy people and fighting my husband because of some higher ups who have somehow managed to design our whole futures?"
"Yes," the producer said matter-of-factly. "The Oracle didn't tell you?"
"The thing about making my choices before I make them?"
"Yes."
Kuro thought for a moment.
"But, if she's a… program," Kuro began, "and she knows what we're going to do and not do, doesn't that mean the higher ups are machines that have managed to control our every move?"
The producer and Koga look at each. Then the producer smacked Kuro across the face.
"Don't be silly," he said.
Before Kuro could fly into rage, Koga announced that they were at their destination. They had paused at what looked like the end of the hallway, which ended in a large white door. Koga took a key from his pocket and was about to open the door when another door opened and Naraku stepped out.
"You will not escape me, Mr. Anderson," he said.
The producer ran up to Naraku and began to fight him. "Get to the source," he shouted. "I'll hold him off."
"Hurry," Koga said opening the door. "We must go."
Kuro was about to go when an idea came to her." "Wait a minute," she said. "If this Naraku is anything like my Naraku, then he won't like being kicked in the balls."
She ran up to Naraku and kicked him square in the nuts. Naraku fell over in pain.
"Let's go," Kuro said, grabbing the producer by the lapel.
They left the quivering form of Naraku and went into the room. As the door closed behind them, there was a flash and Kuro was back in the forest. She looked around and saw Naraku behind her. Reflexively, Kuro kicked him in the nuts again. He fell over in pain.
"What the hell's the matter with you?" Naraku said in a high-pitched voice.
"Oops," Kuro said, helping him up. "Sorry."
