"...And suddenly the the unreal silence is broken by a lament...
A lament coming up from the deepest Darkest abyss...
And from the seven gates of the dark fortress
the dead come back to life to face him... this is hell..."
Immortal fire now light my heart light my way
Face the old legend the guardian of space and time
Kagome opened her eyes when something wet slid down her cheek. Big grin graced her lips. This time she wasn't crying, and for the wetness... She lifted up her head and looked at grey sky above.
"No need to cry anymore, for I am back." She spoke, while looking at clouds. "No need to cry for me..."
She climbed up the well and narrowed her eyes. She wasn't home. But... 'There are so many trees.' She looked around desperatly, not knowing how to get to village. Everything seemed so different.
Usually she could hear voices of villagers from here, but not now. Kagome looked back at The Bone Eater's Well. Her eyes widened. Well was completly covered in vines and moss. "What's going on?" She asked worriedly.
Suddenly, she heard whispers. And they were getting louder and louder. 'They're heading towards me!' The thought hit her and she ran to the well. She gripped vines and slid inside the well a little.
It wasn't the best hiding place, she knew it. But it was better than nothing. That's when she heard footsteps. It wasn't just two or three people. Maybe ten? And from strong auras Kagome felt, she knew they were demons.
Kagome closed her eyes tightly. If they detected her, she would be as good, as dead. She didn't even have her arrows and bow with her.
Oh, where was Inuyasha when she needed him?!
Instead of thinking about him, she tried to concentrate on the conversation these demons were having. Unfortunately, Kagome did not understand a single word they muttered. All she knew was the name of language they were speaking. But she couldn't speak chinese.
Suddenly one of vines, she was gripping, snapped. Quickly, she caught the other one with her hand and prayed, that demons haven't heard the noise she made. Her heart pounded heavily against her ribcage. Now, if they heaven't heard the noise, surely they could hear her heartbeat.
Everyone went silent. 'Bad sign.' Thought Kagome, meanwhile second vine decided she's too heavy and it's time to snap, too. 'Oh no. Please, don't do it!' It just wasn't her day. It's already been hard enough to grip it, because it was slippery from the rain, but now...
SNAP!
Gasp.
And when she thought she'd hit the ground now, someone gripped her wrists and pulled her up. And, oh God, she would rather hit the stony ground and lose consciousness than face it!
Here, she was being held my big demon with shoulder-length black hair and green eyes, he was fully armored and had a sword at his hip. He could be considered handsome, it it weren't for this evil glint in his eyes. Behind him stood at least eleven other demons, each of them ready for battle.
The demon, who held her eyed her skimpy clothes then turned his head away and looked at his comrades. "You think we can have some fun with this wench?" He asked playfully. The demon with long brown hair and closed eyes snorted. "Do as you like. I won't touch human whore."
Kagome narrowed her eyes and started struggling. "I'm not a whore!" She cried. Black-haired man once again looked at her. "Oh, of course. You're not. But, what is a young human woman doing in the forest alone and so far from the human village?" He asked her, as he tightened grip around her wrists.
Some demons chuckled. Kagome refused to answer the question. "Unless..." She heard one of them say. Suddenly, she felt cold blade of the sword touch her throat. "You are spying on us." Laughs died out.
Slolwly, with big eyes, she turned her head to look at demon, who could kill her any second now. He had pale skin and purple eyes and dark purple hair. His hair was tied in small ponytail, his bangs were parted in the middle of his forehead and he left two strands of hair loose, one on each side of his face.
"Tell me, bitch. Are you spying on us?" Kagome couldn't find her voice, but when the blade has pressed harder against her flesh, she opened her mouth.
"No! Why would I spy on you?! I don't even know who you are!" She said quickly. Purple-haired demon narrowed his eyes.
"Then why were you hidden inside old well, huh? Answer, Miko!" He yelled. Kagome felt like crying again. Now she understood why it's still raining. 'Please, someone come and save me.'
Suddenly, another demon jumped down from a tree and landed before them. He was panting slightly. "Ryuukotsusei-sama! They're coming on us!" He yelled.
Purple-haired demon glanced at him, then put down his sword and turned around to face his comrades. "Alright, everyone! Prepare youselves!"
"Ryuukotsusei?" Asked shocked Kagome and her might-have-been murderer once again locked his eyes with hers. "But you're dead!" She stated dumbly. Ryuukotsusei snorted.
"Be quiet or you'll be the one dead here."
Plenty of warriors jumped out of nowhere. The black-haired youkai thrown Kagome to the ground. All she could see were people like blurs running around. All she could hear were growls and clashing of swords.
Here, among many warriors she spotted Ryuukotsusei in deadly combat with inuyoukai, who reminded her of Sesshoumaru. He had long silver hair tied in ponytail, gold eyes and blue ragged stripe on each cheek.
But she couldn't take a closer look now. Desperatly, she stood up and run towards old well, and once again she hid inside, this time gripping it's wooden edge. She felt a little safer now. She watched as blood has been splattered on the grass over and over again.
Suddenly, a sword has been sent flying towards her. She didn't know if it happened by accident or someone aimed at her. She screamed. Her hands let go of wood in instant and once again Kagome found herself falling down.
So, that's all for now. Liked it? Review, please :)
