Heart in a Bouquet (this will be the last time I do the introduction thingie…)
Pt VI: Trust in Chaos
Everyone as panicking.
People shoved, screamed and cried as they wove through crowds of endless people.
Most it was mob psychology. One person shoves and so does another and eventually everyone's shoving in ominous directions most of whom have no idea why they are doing so, but still do like a flock of sheep.
Sesshomaru held an unconscious child his arms. Kagome stood next to him and InuYasha and Kikyo stood to her left. They all tried to stay together as the chaos around them unfolded.
"We take the second hallway!" Sesshomaru shouted over the crowd that shoved him around. Kagome grabbed Sesshomaru's arm in a greater attempt to not get separated.
She was afraid of dying a horrible death alone.
Sesshomaru felt pressure on his arm and briefly looked down.
Kagome, Kagome's hand clutched tightly onto his arm.
She was putting all her trust in him.
Naraku sat in front of the fire, Kanna stood behind him.
The fire crackled and Kanna's eyes seemed alive.
She walked forward.
"What is my purpose?" She said leaning her body against his back.
"Were you bored?" she said placing a hand into his hair.
"Were you tired?" she said running her fingers through his hair intimately.
"I need a new body." She said pressing her nose into his neck.
"In due time…" He said smiling.
The fire blazed and his smile never faded though her grip on his hair did.
"A fortune," he said "I wish to know what your , oh insightful cards have to say."
Kanna let go of his hair.
She left the room leaving Naraku alone briefly.
There was a cobweb in the corner glistening in proud view of the fire, it swung like a flag over the fire. Proud, arrogant, and mocking something far greater than itself.
It was torn suddenly.
The fire had cut through it.
Smoke filled the hall and people coughed and crawled trying to escape.
Somewhere in the chaos InuYasha and Kikyo were separated from Sesshomaru, Rin, and Kagome.
Sesshomaru ran, with Rin in his arms, and Kagome following.
Their feet clattered and the fire ran up the walls.
They didn't stop, they didn't want or need to stop. The adrenalin that rushed them didn't let them. The fear of life and death. The rush of choice. The fear that coursed through them, like two teenage lovers running from it all.
The smoke began haze through the halls.
It was hot, too hot.
The sound of breaking wood was heard and Kagome looked up denying the first rule of escape, ignore the sounds and run, logically but blindly.
The wooden beam from above had begun falling. She shoved Sesshomaru forward and he stumbled forward, Rin sliding out his arms but safe.
The beam hit the floor and the flames engulfed it. The beam had separated her from Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru gazed over; he didn't know what to do.
Kagome looked over at him. She looked at him. "Keep going!" she said. "Don't worry about me! Get the girl out!"
Sesshomaru grabbed Rin casting a single glance over his shoulder then dashed away.
Kikyo coughed as she stepped out the burning mansion. She was holding InuYasha's hand tightly.
InuYasha looked over the site.
People lying about coughing some burned, other barely injured, others dying painfully as the medics tried to keep their hearts beating.
It was a horrible place to be.
You could taste the flesh of burning people.
InuYasha suddenly felt weight on his shoulder. Kikyo had fainted.
He pulled Kikyo's unconscious form close to him.
They made it out but what of Sesshomaru, Kagome, and Rin.
Kagome weaved her way through the smoke filled halls.
The mansion had somehow turned into a labyrinth of sorts.
She could've sworn she went down this hall before. Se kept telling herself that as she turned every corner.
She was getting nervous now.
She was panicking.
She was running blindly.
The wood above made an all but familiar cracking noise and fell.
The eight hit Kagome's body full force and she knocked to the ground, losing consciousness as well.
Sesshomaru ran quickly.
The entrance was in front of him.
He was out he escaped.
He was alive.
He broke from his moment of triumph due to Rin's hoarse breathing.
It as such a raspy scratchy noise it was barely recognizable.
He got her to medic.
He cast a glance to her watching as the medic looked her over.
He looked back at the burning place he called home.
He knew one thing.
Kagome was still trapped.
Kanna flipped the card between her fingers, the card turned towards Naraku bearing itself naked to him.
"What is it?" he said looking on with slight interest.
"It's The Hanged Man and Ten of Swords." said Kanna.
"What does that mean?" Naraku said.
"Death- it means several things-
ending
closing one door to open another
bringing something to a close
completing a chapter
concluding unfinished business
putting the past behind you
having a parting of the ways
going through transition
changing status
moving from the known to the unknown
being cast adrift
waiting in an in-between state
being in the middle
eliminating excess
cutting out what isn't necessary
shedding old attitudes
getting down to bare bones
concentrating on essentials
getting back to basics
experiencing inexorable forces
being in the path of sweeping change
being caught in the inescapable
going through what cannot be avoided
being part of a powerful movement
riding your fate
accepting the inevitable
." Kanna said.
"And this means?" Naraku said.
She smiled again saying nothing once more.
Sesshomaru entered the inferno twisting through the halls looking for Kagome.
He searched for what appeared to be hours.
He finally turned into the Southern Hall and saw a large beam under which Kagome was pinned.
The rest of the beam was catching fire fast.
The flames were slowly nicking at her skin and the beam did nothing to help the situation.
He tried to lift the beam but found he couldn't.
His hands were burned, the flesh burned but he ignored concentrated on getting her out.
"S-sesshomaru…" she whimpered out slowly re-gaining coconscious.
The blaze caused sweat to gather on his forehead, and blood to soak his palms.
The fire kept getting larger but he had no idea what to do.
It was fear he felt.
Review! MUHAHAHAH REVIEW! Sorry about the lack of dialogue but this chapter was meant to be more descriptive if anything, and so it was kind of… short. So….hoped you enjoyed!
Until next time!
