Chapter 28: Standing Up for Love
The easiest part was getting in the building. Sango stood by her side, silent, her large boomerang hanging off her shoulder. Kagome had come prepared for this. She had two hand guns in their holsters under her jacket she wore, and even had a bow and arrows, just in case anything happened.
"Kagome, this is crazy. We can't possible get to Kikyou on our own." Sango said to her, looking around the dark lobby. The lobby was poorly lit with a dark purplish glow. From what they could see, several bodies laid dead on this floor. The floor itself was crack and unlevel. The walls were black and looked moist, as if the wall was bleeding.
"To tell you the truth Sango, I have no clue how I'm going to do this." Kagome answered, starting to walk forward. "Well, those are always the best plans, I guess." Sango answered with a small smile. Kagome smiled a little, not sure how she was going to get any of this done.
She had to some how break the hold that Kikyou had on Inuyasha, Kill Kikyou and get Rin's soul back, and also hurt Rin's body enough to get out Yurokia's soul out. With a sigh, she kept moving. The last thing she needed was to get caught just standing here.
The silence was creepy. No movement was seen as they walked, there foots steps echoing. "I would guess they are on the top floor..." Sango stated, thankful for some sound. "It would be safe to assume that. She always liked being on top." They headed towards the elevator. Kagome pressed the button to call the elevator, hoping that it still worked.With the ding of the
bell, the elevator doors parted and they climbed on. "It seems to easy..." Sango said as she looked around the elevator. "Yeah, but what choice do we have Sango?"
Kikyou sat happily in the suit of the building, petting Inuyasha as he sat quietly on the floor. The room was gold and rich in color. On the far wall were a line of security cameras, which most still worked. As she looked across the screens, she saw the image of Kagome and Sango climbing on the elevator in the lobby. "Oh! We have guests..."
Naraku sat in his chair with a sour expression on his face. "Naraku? Want to go and play with our friends?" Kikyou asked him, a sadistic smile upon her face. He looked up at the offer to kill. "We will you give me ultimate power after this?" He asked, a serious look on his face. Kikyou nodded, her smile not fading. He stood, looking satisfied. "It would be my pleasure.." He then walked out of the room, one of his arms a sword and the other a scythe.
Kouga ran along, Miroku not to far behind. He had explained everything he knew to Miroku, who was quick to get his staff and come to help. As they reached the building, Kouga came to a stop. "They already inside...I hope nothing bad has happened to Kagome..." Miroku came to s stop. "Lets go Dammit!" Kouga nodded and they both ran in, hoping to catch up to them as soon as possible.
The walked into the creepy lobby and looked around. There was no sign of Sango or Kagome around. As they walked around, Miroku gave a disgusted looked. "Kikyou...you bitch..."
Kouga gave a nod of agreement as they reached the elevator. Miroku pressed the call button, but nothing came. Something was wrong with the elevator. "Lets get to the stairs!" Miroku yelled, running over to the stairs.
Kagome and Sango rode the elevator in silence til it suddenly came to a stop. "This can't be good..." Sango stated, grabbing her boomerang firmly. "It's probably because Kikyou changed the building...it's probably stuck..." Kagome said, reaching over and pressing the door open button. The doors open smoothly, revealing a very dark room. As they climbed off, the sound of footsteps echoed on the floor.
As they came to a stop, a set of footsteps drew closer. Kagome reached in her jacket and pulled out her guns, looking around in the dark room, trying to find the person. The shadow of two figures in front of them, made Kagome jump as she aim in that direction. "Freeze!" She screamed, Sango standing next to her, ready to throw her boomerang. The figures threw their arms in the air and didn't move. "It's us! Miroku and Kouga!" The yelled.
Kagome moved closer, her guns still pointed at them. As she drew closer, she saw that it was in fact Kouga and Miroku. "Thank god you guys are here...Are you the reason that the elevator stopped on this floor?" Both Miroku and Kouga shook their heads. "No, we took the stairs because the elevators weren't working." Kouga answered.
"Yeah, something is not right here..." Sango said, looking around. All of them looked around, not being able to see much on the dark floor. Only when the laughter started echoing did they become aware of another person on the floor. The lights kicked on suddenly, and not far from them was a blood thirsty Naraku.
He gave them a sadistic smile, raising both bladed arms in welcome. "Hello boys and girls...I'm here to welcome you to our lovely home..." He walked calmly over to them before leaping into the air and landing in the middle of them and swinging his bladed arms at them, which everyone was lucky enough to dodge. "Kagome! Get to Kikyou! We'll deal with Naraku!" Sango ordered, throwing her boomerang at him, which he easily dodged.
Kagome nodded and ran towards the stairs, heading to the top floor. As she got to the top floor, she tossed the doors wide open to see Kikyou sitting in a big office chair. She was holding Inuyasha's hand as he stood next to her, his blank expression still there. Yurokia was leaning against the wall near the door, a bored look on her face. "Hello Kagome...I see you just left your friends to fend for you...just like old times with your gang..." Kikyou said, a dull smile on her face.
"That is not how it was! Yurokia wasn't supposed to be there! That wasn't how she was supposed to prove herself! She jumped in, thinking that it would get her excepted faster!" Kagome yelled, aiming her guns at Kikyou's face. Kikyou did not flinch at Kagome raising her gun.
"Then maybe you would like to explain that to Yurokia. She's been itching to give you a piece of her mind." Yurokia then stood up from the wall and started to walk over to Kagome. Kagome turned and aimed her guns at Yurokia, but she didn't stop in her approach. "You seriously think you can shoot me! You cried like a baby when I got shot!" Yurokia yelled, pulling out her own gun.
To people outside of this fight, it was a strange sight. A young girl now had a gun pointed at a teenage girl, who had two guns pointed at the young girl. But the anger that came from them filled the room. "Yurokia...leave Rin's body...you had your time and Rin deserves to live." Kagome said, glaring at the young girl.
Yurokia glared sight back, tears of anger going down her face. "How can you call that my time! I was killed before I could fully enjoy my life! And its all your fault!" She cried, her gun starting to shake. "I didn't make you go out to be in my gang. You risked your life, for what now is an obvious mistake. I'm sorry you died...but that doesn't give you the right to steal another young girls body!" Kagome yelled back, fighting back her own tears.
Yurokia looked up at her with innocent eyes, her gun falling down slightly. "It wasn't fair Kagome...you promised to protect me...and when you failed to do that, you promised never to fight again. And yet here you are, a gun pointed at me, ready to fire." Yurokia looked at the floor, unable to stop her tears. "Yurokia...I have to stand up for my friends that are alive now...you dead and you have to go back...please...don't make me hurt you..." Kagome couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
Yurokia nodded, dropping her gun to the floor and burring her face in her hands. Kagome put her guns back in the holsters and ran to Yurokia, hugging her in her arms. "That was a very nice speech Kagome..." A soft voice said from behind her. Kagome turned to see Kana standing there, her usual blinding whiteness around her. Kagura also stood behind her, looking as angry as normal. "Please...is there no way to bring Yurokia back to life?" Kagome cried, still hugging the small child. "Do not worry Kagome, she's going to a better place now." Kana said, pointing the mirror at the little girl.
A white smoke suddenly came out from inside the mirror and wrapped around Yurokia, making the child become suddenly still. As the smoke pulled away, it held a bright white orb, which went into the mirror. As the orb left Rin's body, it became limp. "Now, kill Kikyou and I can get Rin's soul back." Kana instructed kindly. Kagome nodded, laying Rin's limp body on the floor softly and whipping tears from her face. Kana and Kagura then faded away once again as Kagome turned to face Kikyou, who looked at her confused.
"Kikyou, it's time for you to pay for everything you've done. For all the pain you've caused." Kagome pulled her guns back out, walking towards Kikyou, who didn't look at all intimidated.
