AN: I just finished reading the play "No Exit". One word that describes it: Wow. I think it's my favorite play now, not that I've read many plays before to compare it with other then Romeo and Juliet and some weird ones such as one about a Christmas bell that wanted to ride in Santa's sleigh U.u; I'm going to write a story based off of it but I probably won't be able to make it a fic here because there is no really good way to make in a fanfic, unless . . . uh . . . ::smacks head:: grr don't make anymore ideas!
Thanks to all those that reviewed the last chapter, you won't believe how inspiring you all are. I'd also like to ask if you all wanted me to make response to reviews at the end of each chapter. Just review with the answer and if the yes area outnumbers the no I'll write a little message to everyone individually at the end of each chapter.
Lastly, QuickEdit seems to have taken a liking to eating my formatting. ::sigh:: A well, there is nothing I can do about it.
Extra Note
Well this should've been out months ago... sorry. Everyone I know seems to be dropping like flies at the moment and it's really depressing. Add in the fact they my cousins decided that they wanted to stay the whole summer instead of just 2 weeks like they usually do and you get me running around after people while being depressed about dead people. sighs Life's out to get me isn't it. Aside from that school's back again and I have absolutely NO idea what I'm supposed to be doing there half the time.
Back to the story!
Completely Pure
Chapter 13: So Many Plans
"One, two, THREE!" I pulled against the straps that held me again for what seemed like the 50th time. Unfortunately whenever I finally got the straps to loosen a little, Yura came back in and tightened them again while playing with my hair.
God I hate having my hair played with, it makes me feel like a Barbie doll . . . not that I ever played with a Barbie doll before.
My head was killing me again and I tried to rub it against my shoulder to ease the pain. That's when I noticed something other then my hair had been changed. I panicked, I don't have ears! Oh my GOD! I DON'T HAVE EARS!
I winced, now I'll never be able to hear myself again or anyone else for that matter . . . wait a sec, if I didn't have ears, how was I able to hear?
This is the part where I got a tingly feeling on my head and I twisted my head so I could see my reflection off a nearby beaker.
Oh lovely, puppy ears.
(-)(-)(-)
"This is it," I said heading towards the large glass doors of Shikon Corp.
"Wait Sango, we just can't waltz in there and expect that they'll let us get Kagome and Inuyasha back."
I paused, "What else are we suppose to do? We don't have a layout of the building and for all we know they could be being tortured to death at this very second!"
"I don't think they'll kill Kagome and Inuyasha," Miroku said seriously, "If they were just going to kill them, Naraku wouldn't have gone through all the trouble of kidnapping them first."
"You're right. Fine then, I'm following your lead Miroku. You come up with a plan and fast."
He rolled his eyes, "Hold on a sec." He pulled out his cell and dialed a number, "Hey Rin? Yeah yeah we're in front of Shikon Corp. Hey will you stop screaming!? Yes, you are screaming and it's hurting my ears. Ok that is not funny," he sighed, "Just listen to me, get Kouga to find a layout of Shikon and the fastest and least guarded route up to the fifth floor. Knowing Naraku, he probably has everything on the fifth floor top secret so we'll have to wing it once we get that far. Get Sesshoumaru to get us a couple of guns. No I'm not going to go around a shoot everyone I see, I'm not Inuyasha. There's a library a few blocks away from here. We'll be waiting for you there but if you don't get there within an hour we're going ahead and probably will be killed. Rin you're screaming again! I can't take it anymore. I'll see you later."
"So...an hour?"
He nodded, "Until then let's get over to the library and see if they have anything we can use."
"What could a library possibly have that we could use?" I said sarcastically.
"You never know, besides I need to get a book anyways."
"What book?" I asked curiously. I never saw Miroku as a book person, add in the way he just came up with the plan to get Kagome and Inuyasha back and I suddenly felt like I was starting to see him in a new light.
He smiled, "The Karma Sutra."
My eyes narrowed, alright so maybe that new light wasn't so new afterall.
(-)(-)(-)
"It's time Rei."
Souta snapped his head in my direction, fear in his eyes.
"Kagura I'm going to have to bring Souta with me, I don't think I should leave him alone yet." Surprisingly this would help me. Before I was going to get Kagome, come back for Souta and then leave but now I could just leave as soon as I was with Kagome again.
"Whatever, I still don't know why we need you so much." Kagura said while walking out the door. "Hurry up or I'm leaving without you."
I gently took Souta's hand in mine and pulled him along with me. His grip tightened when we stepped out the door and followed Kagura down the hallway.
I tried to distract myself from being nervous by looking at the walls. That was until we passed an open window and I noticed someone strapped to a table. I instantly recognized the boy's face. Now I had an extra person to get out of here.
(-)(-)(-)
I tapped my foot while standing outside of the library. Miroku had, coincidentally, gotten us kicked out from waiting inside due to his perverted nature. That's when I saw a familiar car turn the corner and head into a nearby parking lot. I jogged over with Miroku following not to far behind.
"Hey guys, do you have the info?"
Kouga rubbed his head while handing me a paper with a map and path tracked on it, "Damnit, why couldn't you give me any notice before pulling a stunt like this?"
"No time, gotta move fast," I replied while quickly memorizing the paper's contents.
"Sango, catch,"
I quickly held out my hands as Miroku tossed me a gun which he had just gotten from the trunk curtsey of Sesshoumaru.
Kouga rolled his eyes, "Ayame's on her way down with a couple bits of C4 we didn't use last time. Once you get Kagome and Inuyasha back, press the little red button and you'll have 10 minutes to get out of the building before the bombs go off. We're only going to plant them quick so we're not sure how effective it'll be but it's worth a shot. Just try not to set them off while we're still hiding them."
"No problem," I turned to Miroku, "Come on, we're going ahead."
"Whatever you say, boss."
I smiled while turning and starting to job towards Shikon Corp. again, "Boss . . . I like the sound of that."
(-)(-)(-)
I'd finally begun to give up trying to escape but every time I did, I'd close my eyes and see Kagome's face. I knew she'd have to have been taken here also and if I gave up, she could be in danger. Well, could was an understatement. She was more then likely to be in more danger then ever before and I didn't know where the hell she was or how I was suppose to get out of the restraints I was in to find her anyways.
I shifted slightly than tensed when I heard the door open again.
"Hello puppy!" I felt my 'ears' swivel to the direction of Yura as she squealed in delight, "They seem to have worked out better then I thought they would."
I felt myself growl instinctively as she waltzed towards me.
"Now, now puppy, you shouldn't growl at your master."
"Get the fuck away from me you bitch!"
Pain filled my nervous system as she grabbed and pulled on my ear, "Using such fowl language in a woman's presence, you need some manners."
She let go and walked over to one of the tables to my right.
"You know, I was surprised that you survived all those experiments we did to you. Congratulations," she said smiling at me before turning back to inspect the contents of the table, "you're now a complete freak show."
Again instinctively I tried to lunge at her but was still not strong enough to break the belts. Yura just laughed.
"Don't worry, in a few minutes I'll be letting you out of those restraints," she held up a needle and tested to see if it worked, "first, of course I have to inject an itty-bitty tranquilizer into you're blood stream, wouldn't want you to run away from me now we I?"
I tried to escape again but stopped once she pulled on the ear once more, "Hold still or this won't go in correctly."
It was like a pinprick and I prepared to feel numb, but nothing happened. I seemed to keep all my senses. I wasn't about to tell Yura that though. Instead, I used it to my advantage. I willed myself to relax and slumped downwards while closing my eyes slightly. I felt the belts being taken off but kept up my act. Finally when all the belts were off I tumbled to the ground as an added effect of the tranquilizer.
I felt her hoist me up under my right arm and start heading towards the door, "Damn you're heavy, you're should lose some wait." I heard her curse.
I grinned before straightening, "Well then why don't you take a rest then." I watched her amused for a moment by the shock that filled her face before grabbing the same beaker that I saw my new ears reflected in earlier from the table behind me and smashing it against her head.
The glass shattered quickly and Yura fell to the ground unconscious. I quickly strapped her into the place I was previously held prisoner. I took a look at my handy work before grabbing some latex gloves from a box also on the table and stuffing it into her mouth, didn't want her to wake up screaming out for help. The table was at a perfect slant also so if she tried to spit them out, it'd be very hard.
Now then, I thought turning towards the door. Where would I find Kagome?
(-)(-)(-)
We ran up the back stairwell which, strangely, didn't have any security features until the third floor. From there we had to carefully time ourselves as the camera scanned the landing on the third floor which was pretty simple. The camera was situated just in front of the door way leaving a blind spot to its lens just below it. When the camera was facing the stairway upwards we quickly ran under the camera and wait for it to return to the stairway downwards before rushing up to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor was a bit harder. It wasn't because there was any security on it, actually there wasn't any at all.
It was harder because that was where the stairway ended.
We slipped through the halls as quickly as we could without being caught until we got to the middle of the floor. I cursed as we entered the room that was there.
"Miroku, there should've been a staircase here!"
"I know, I know but as you can see there isn't"
I glared at him, "What could've happened? They can't just up and move a stairway."
He, of course, was unaffected by my stare, "Let's check these bookcases. There might be a book that makes a stairway appear."
"Were you reading one of those Sherlock Holmes things while we were at the library?" I said eyeing him as he went around pulling at the books that filled the shelves.
"No, I was actually watching a documentary on mystery stories awhile."
I rolled my eyes, "Like that makes much of a difference," I said mumbling but started over towards the bookcase on the opposite wall. At least, that was where I had intended to go, instead I tripped on the carpeting and fell head first...right through to bookcase."
I rubbed my head from hitting hard cement as I stood up grumbling. I looked around at what seemed like a dead end, except for the staircase that was leading up. I heard Miroku coming and I watched as a wall seemed to shimmer until he stepped forward beside me.
"It seems that the wall was a hologram that hides this staircase from view."
"You meanie," I mumbled, "You don't even care that I fell."
Suddenly my hand was replaced by another, "Sango dearest, does it hurt?"
I blushed and pulled out of his reach and started up the stairs, "Come on, we've got to get to Inuyasha and Kagome still. You can rub my head another time."
"You mean I can rub you're head later then? Sango, my love, let us rescue them quickly!"
(-)(-)(-)Rei stood outside the door for a moment before entering. Kagome lay on a bed, seeming as if she were sleeping.
"Kagura she hasn't awoken yet,"
"Yes, I know."
"Then what was the point of bringing me here," I said faking anger, "I have other things to do."
"Not my idea, it was Naraku's orders to bring you here. Probably to prove to you that little Kagome over there is really here, just incase you had any doubts about us telling the truth."
"I'll be going back to Souta's room then for there isn't anything for me to do here," I tugged on his hand and started to head back out the door, taking notice how he seemed to stare at Kagome for a few minutes before his head turned to follow me.
Kagura closed and locked the door behind me, "I'm not escorting you back."
"I wouldn't want you as an escort anyways," I retorted as Souta and I walked away.
I heard the flip of her fan as she walked down the hall in the opposite direction. I then noticed the slow tugs on my hand, "Souta what's wrong?"
"Who was that girl?"
I glanced at him while continuing to walk, "That's Kagome," I thought for a second, "She's going to be you're new big sister."
"My new big sister?"
I smiled down at him, "Yes, we'll go buy a big house and live as a family."
He seemed to stare at me unsure if what I said was true.
I knelt down beside him as we stopped in front of his room, "Don't worry, I promise. I'll make sure that it happens."
End of Chapter 13
AN: So there we have it, Chapter 13 finally out! There are probably two or three more chapters left. I'm somewhat relieved that it's almost over. My brain hurts from having to switch POV so much in the last couple chapters. Anyways here's a little bit of info about the next chapter, not that it's very descriptive.
Is Kikyo alive? Now that Miroku and Sango have made it up to the fifth floor, will they be able to find Kagome and Inuyasha without getting caught? Now that Inuyasha's free, will he find Kagome before Yura gets out that he has escaped? How is Rei going to keep her promise to Souta when it's never been known for anyone to escape from Naraku?
ALMOST all this will be answered in the next chapter, if it isn't, it'll be in the one after that. xD; I hope you liked this chapter and that it was worth the waiting it took for me to finally get it finished and edited. Remember to please review!
