For sticking by me all this time. And so back to my note:
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry! I know I haven't updated in like what? Two months and three days? But I swear! I have a good reason! There was the first problem of my getting off of my lazy bottom to type and write more, then the tougher one... I mean, ten reviews = Great! I'm so happy! I better update... but I'm too lazy.
Then I got Twenty = YAY! YOU GUYS ARE SO NICE!
Then came Thirty = Holy MOLY! I better get off and write (and so I did)
Then Forty = I have to finish off my chapter eight... but then I wanted to fix it up for you.
Then came FIFTY FIVE = Don't just write something... write something GREAT! And so I rewrote this chapter so many times... I'm sooooo sorry! To make up for it I'll get started on the next chapter right away, also... I graduated! I graduated from elementary school! I'm going to the high school and I'm a little nervous right now...
Disclaimer: You already know this! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TORTURE ME LIKE THIS?!
.................................................. My gaze fixed itself firmly on the ground. I dared not look up in fear of the glinting evil that shined in his eyes. I never wanted to die more than at that moment. The thought of being owned hurt like salt being cast on a fresh wound. He glanced back at me and barked crudely, "Faster!" He tugged on my shackles sharply and I fell, scrapping my leg in the process. So this was how life was going to be for me... joy.

Legolas peered at the group for a moment. Something was missing. Ever since Kagome left, things hadn't been the same. It seemed that Kagome's dry humor was the only thing keeping them from feeling the emotion despair of losing Gandalf. The hobbits dragged their feet, staring at the ground, blinking back tears after being informed on how Kagome left. Boromir snapped furiously at anyone who tried to talk to him. Without Kagome to take his assaults, everybody was a victim. Gimli pretended that Kagome didn't exist. He went on and on about Galadriel, How she was so beautiful, graceful, and lady-like unlike Kagome. Legolas nearly used him as target practice after hearing him say that. He didn't know why but it... how did Kagome put it? Pissed him off to no end when he heard Gimli badmouthing Kagome. Luckily for Gimli, the hobbits already jumped on him; otherwise he would be full of holes by now.
He missed her...
He wasn't supposed to miss her...
He was an elf... elves never felt all that strongly about emotions. Or so he told himself many times. So why did it hurt to know that Kagome wasn't there at his side? Why? Why did he miss her?
He didn't miss her.
He didn't...
He missed her greatly...
When he saw that silver haired demon harassing her... something snapped. (Chapter 7)
Those smooth texture of her hair. Legolas could still feel the silky tingle in his fingertips from when he caressed her locks. That white skin with the tint of pink... Her plump, ruby red lips called out to him. The way she felt so right and fit so perfectly in his embrace while trying to avoid the spies... Oh Gods... what was happening to him? What was wrong with him? Why did he feel so empty without her? Why?
Why was it that when she was with him he felt that all was right with the world, but annoyed at her immature behavior? Why was it that he felt alive when she was with him? Why was it that he felt dead without her? Why? Why? WHY? Why did his heart, an organ that most women believed that he lacked after turning them away, beat ten times faster than it should? Why was it that he was nervous around her? Why was it that he couldn't hide his emotions behind his mask anymore? Why? Why? WHY? Why was he feeling like this? WHY WAS HE FEELING LIKE THIS?
Why? ...

"Watch my arm, will ya?" I snapped as my owner threw me into a dungeon. He sneered back at me, his eyes, the very one's I tried so hard to evade, found mine and glared daggers. "I doubt, you are one of a kind, but you'll bring in a crowd anyways." He spat. A smirk played silently on his lips as the bars of my dungeon door slammed shut with a thundering boom. "Or else..."
I shuttered as his malevolent laugh echoed through the walls of the grimy dungeon, chilling me to the spine. 'What ever did I do to deserve this? Surely it isn't punishment for whatever Kikyou did in my past life was it?' I asked in my mind. I sighed when I received no answer. What did I expect? God coming down and greeting me? I crawled slowly, dragging my unwilling legs into a corner, curled up and let tears stream down my eyes. All I wanted was to go back to being a normal girl! A normal girl... a drop of my tear dropped, splitting into a thousand pieces as it made contact with the floor. The chance of me being a normal girl was ripped away from me, crudely snatched from my fingers, just because I was Kikyou! Just because Kikyou wanted to take the stupid jewel with her... I hated her, I HATED HER!
I pulled myself together, as I stood up, staring face to face with the wall of my dungeon. Kikyou, Kikyou, KIKYOU! It was always about Kikyou. I punched the wall in an attempt to relieve myself of my anger and frustration, but it didn't work. Desperately I bashed on it, again and again, until my knuckles grew red with my blood, and yet I still harbored the feeling of hatred, pumping in my veins. A fury of dents marked the wall, but that didn't make me feel any better.
I leaned my forehead against the crimson streaked wall, and breathed in deeply. Tears still streamed down my face, in an effort to escape my miserable body. It was all Kikyou's fault! With renewed loathing and vigor, I restarted beating up the poor wall. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have, had that stupid jewel in my body! I slugged the wall, making a hole in it in the process. If it weren't for Kikyou I wouldn't have fallen into the well! I slugged it again, making the hole bigger. If it weren't for Kikyou, I wouldn't have given Inuyasha my heart, only to have it shred upon, stomped on, ripped apart, and thrown in dirt. I kicked the wall, chipping pieces of bricks off of it. If it weren't for Kikyou, I wouldn't have died a million deaths knowing, Inuyasha would never be mine... because his heart belonged to Kikyou! I let myself fall to the ground. If it weren't for Kikyou... I would have been nothing. I looked down in shame.
No matter how hard I tried, a pool of my tears gathered around my feet, I would never amount to Kikyou. No matter how much I strained, there would always, always be a woman that was better than me. Always.
I lost count of how long I sat there, finding comfort in the darkness that lurked in the corner, crying silently. I don't know how long, I sat there praying and wishing with all my heart that Lady death would finally be kind to me. Wishing that she took my soul to find peace. All I know is I gave into darkness and sleep and a small smile flitted across my lips for a single second. At least I had one friend, Darkness... my darkness, my...sanctuary.
As quickly as I found comfort in darkness, I was torn away from it. A sharp blow to my back stole my darkness away from me; force me to gaze up into light and evil. "WAKE UP SLAVE!" I whimpered as I tried to go back to the loving arms of my sanctuary, only to be hoisted up by my shirt. "I said..." a voice, growled, angrily in my ear, as its arm that clutched my shirt slammed me against the wall that I brutalized moments before, "WAKE UP!" I blinked the sleep out of my eyes, and immediately regretted it. My gaze met fearfully to my masters. "It's time for you to show me your true worth!" He clamped shackles that suspiciously, resembled the one he used dragging me to his castle. "No!" I shouted struggling widely against the bonds. He pulled me to him, his breath brushed my cheek and I looked down, "You belong to me... and you shall do what I say." His last words repeated itself in my mind over and over never stopping, even when we arrived to our destination. 'You belong to me, and you shall do what I say... You belong to me and you shall do as I say...'
"NO!" I cried, but it was too late. I stood in the middle of a large arena. A huge pink bubble-like-thing separated the stands from the battle set up, however I did not spend my time, studying the battlefield; instead, I ran towards the gate that I was pushed out of and shook it. "LET ME OUT!" I screamed it felt as though I was a trapped animal, that resolve alone made me shake the gate even harder. It rattled in its place, but it didn't open.
"Ladies!" My demonic ears twitched towards the voice that I currently loathed with every being of my soul, "and gentlemen! Welcome to another exciting battle here at the shadow arena. All I have to say is... enjoy the show!" Instinctively I turned around, and I never regretted it more. I recoiled, immediately, my arms moved to cover my eyes. My opponent was, what could only be described as a five eyed GIANT spider. It stood up in all its glory. The glare of the sun glinted off the shiny, black coat of the beast, but the menacing stare of the bright burning ball of gas couldn't hold a candle to the glower of the five eyes. It's eight legs, although skinny, looked as if it could crush me, where I got that notion, I don't know. "Let the fight begin!" My master shouted, the crowd grew wild with cheers and yelling as the great spider came rushing at me.
All thoughts of fighting that I learnt from the Warring States Era, flashed by my mind, all of them screamed at me to move. At the very last moment, I threw myself out of the way. Wincing as I got up, I just realized that the poisoned wound I had received in the mine had never healed, joy... The spider skidded to a halt before shooting a web string at me. I flexed my claws and smiled as the thin web was ripped to shreds by my sharp talions, or at least that was supposed to happen. Instead my claws only stopped the string. However, it kept pushing against my hand with such force that I was thrown into the wall of the arena. 'Where was my weapons when I needed them?' I inwardly groaned.
Red blood dripped from my lower lip as I was bashed again and again, against hard concrete. Then... it stopped. I dropped to my knees immediately. Struggling to stand I could do nothing but stay there, when the spider charged at me once again. With great effort, I managed to bite back the yell of pain, but that didn't stop my body's reaction. My eyes widened in disbelief, my jaw dropped in shock, and my body was too much in pain to do anything.
Sharp teeth dug into my flesh and so I closed my eyes for the last minutes of my life. I would have died at that very moment, if it weren't for a fleeting thought that passed through my mind during my last breath. 'Do we really want to die like this? In a spider's mouth, without seeing out family? In a world where we are nothing but a mindless slave that battles in a life and death situation for the entertainment of people whom are idiotic enough to ignore the threat of Sauron? Do we really? NO! No we don't!'
I thrust a claw into one of my many wounds, and pulled it back out to reveal silver blood, (Dc: I'll explain why it's silver later.) enclosed by an eerie glow of aqua/blue, of purification. "I refuse..." I managed to get out of my gritted teeth, "to die now!" Blades of sliver mixed with aqua/blue sliced into the spider's eyes, all five of them. Effectively blinding it. It's mouth opened to let out a cry of pain, and I took that opportunity to rip myself from it's powerful jaws, and landed, fortunately, on my feet.
The giant creature let out a furious yell before charging blindly, but suspiciously, directly at me. Wanting to get the battle over with, I remained standing there until the very last moment. I dropped to the floor and raised my claw up. The spider seemed to realize what I was doing and tried to stop, but it was too late. My claws sliced through the soft tissue of the beast's stomach, blood poured down on my face and clothes like water did Niagara Falls. But I smiled. The more blood the better; it meant the less chance the five-eyed creature had to survive. IT was dead before it smashed against the wall.
I gasped for breath, as I stood up slowly. Thinking I was safe, I let my guard down, a mistake I would never make again. A leg of the rotting corpse, twitched, knocking me off my feet. Time seemed to slow as the half jewel that hung from my neck snapped and fell to the ground, with a small tinkling noise. I scrambled to my feet, ignoring the screams of protest uttered by my body, for I knew that there would be a greater price to pay if anyone saw it, let alone feel the power that rolled down it in wave after wave. Too bad all my efforts were in vain. The small jewel that seemed to cause trouble and pain to the person whom got a hold of it, had already caught the eye of another...
