Killian staked out the apartment Emma lived in, tapping his chin apprehensively as he waited for her to appear. Blowing out a breath as the familiar blonde walked out with her son, he stood and felt panic set in as a familiar dark haired woman walked behind them. Matching Emma's strides from his side of the street, he began running after them as they headed towards Central Park, needing to make her remember before Kagome got to them. "Swan! Wait, Swan!" he shouted.
Emma and Henry turned as passerby's ignored them on Bow Bridge; instead giving Killian strange looks at his attire. "You again? Look, I don't know who you are but I can't help you, so leave us alone!" Emma exclaimed clutching Henry's shoulders tightly. "See that's the thing you can, and right now, you're not safe out here; so if I could just talk to you and try to explain some things." He said glancing around.
"Mom, who is this guy?" Henry asked keeping his eyes on the other man. "He's a different kind of crazy person." Emma whispered back. "I'm not crazy, even though I may seem it. Once you remember, everything will make much more sense. You just need to come, this way." Killian urged gesturing for them to move towards him.
A soft laugh behind Henry and Emma had them turning, Killian swallowing hard at the sound. "Oh, I don't mean to eavesdrop, my apologizes." The young woman said smiling. Turning back around, Emma looked at the intensity on the man's face in front of her as he stared at the woman behind her. "Come on Henry." She whispered turning them around. Walking past the woman as she stared into the water, her arms on the railings she missed the smirk that made its way to her face.
"Kagome; don't." Killian hissed. Snapping her head to the pirate, Kagome twitched her fingers, Emma and Henry crying out. "Elphaba and I agreed it would have to be a fair fight, can't do that without the savior being back to her normal self. So, I'm going to take him, and when you remember who you are, you can come and find him." Kagome explained, tossing something into the pond below her. Gesturing for the block of ice that was Henry to come to her, she pushed him into the portal, climbing over the rail to follow before being pulled back.
"What the hell have you done with my son?" Emma cried, standing over her. Frowning, Kagome moved to her knees and caught Emma's next punch, pushing the blonde to the side. "You made me miss my ride." She sighed throwing a look back to the water with a frown. Killian walked up to the dark haired woman apprehensively, not sure what to expect. "Maybe it's you I should be talking with love. Why are you working with that monster?" he asked as Emma stared at the water, waiting for it to open back up.
Spinning on her heel, Kagome eyed the man critically. "You're one to talk, siding with Cora; that's one way to get out of a marriage proposal." She hissed. "You think I went on Cora's side to stay out of a marriage? She told me you were dead; that's why I had no problem siding with her." Killian said shocked. "She told you I was dead?" she asked. "Yes, she told me Rumplestiltskin killed you to get back at me." He explained. Kagome cocked her head confused before turning, meeting Emma head on as she rushed her. "Where's my son!" Emma cried.
Hair caught in the savior's fists, Kagome hissed before turning them and blasting Emma into Killian with a cold wind. Darting forward, Kagome reached into the pirates pocket and took the extra bean he brought and threw it into the water. "Come and find him." She smirked. "Come on Swan, we don't have time." Killian shouted above the wind as he pulled Emma over the railing with him, making the portal just as it closed.
Gulping for air as she broke the surface of the water, Emma looked around crazily. "What the hell is going on?" she asked as the pirate surfaced next to her. "I really don't want to discuss this right next to their castle; come on, we'll be safer once we get to your parents kingdom." Killian sighed pulling her to the shore. "No, I want to know what is going on. This random woman comes by after you do and takes my son." Emma said chasing him as he walked to the woods.
"And I want to give those answers to you, but it's in your best interest if this discussion waits until we're somewhere safer. But, I will tell you that they won't hurt him; Kagome's too kind hearted to let anything happen to him." Killian said as he led her through the woods.
Inside Elphaba's Castle
Naraku tapped the ice that surrounded the boy with his claw, a frown marring his face as Elphaba swept into the room. "Will you stop, he's not a fish!" Kagome hissed slapping the half-demons hand away from the boy. "This is perfect, as soon as she goes to make her move, we'll kill the boy; then Snow's and Regina's kingdoms will both be mine." Elphaba smiled. "Kill the boy? You promised nothing would happen to him." Kagome said.
The green witch laughed and smirked, sending shivers down Kagome's spine. "Than you're stupider than I thought you were. Cora told me I'd regret letting you live, and I'm starting to agree." She growled. "You said if I went and got him, that was it, he wouldn't be hurt. Speaking of Cora; did she tell Killian that Rumplestiltskin killed me?" Kagome questioned. "Of course she did, did you really think I'd be able to get you in that mentality to seek revenge on your pirate." Elphaba laughed.
"Don't look at me, I didn't know a thing about this." Naraku said holding his hands up as Kagome shot a deadly look his way. "No, he's right. It was my thought that you'd kill your pirate and get him out of the way with everything you were told." The witch sighed. "Let me get this straight; you have me kidnapped, fill my head with all these lies of Killian sleeping with everyone under the sun, unlock my memories that I didn't even want to remember, and as a way to allow me to seek "my revenge" you turn me into an ice witch." Kagome whispered rubbing her temples.
"Yes, if only I had realized how much of a liability you were before I set my plan in motion, than I would have actually killed you." Elphaba said crossing her arms. "You bitch." Kagome growled flinging her hands up and shooting icicles at her. "Don't you dare turn on me, I made sure you stayed alive, I have no problems taking it away." She hissed holding a hand up as the icicles melted on impact.
Glaring at the witch in front of her, Kagome suddenly smirked and turned to Henry, still encased in the ice and crossed her arms in an 'X' before flinging them down. The ice block shooting into the air on the wind, carrying it out of the kingdom. "Good luck without your leverage." Kagome smirked before tearing out of the room as Elphaba let out a scream.
Jumping out of a hall window, Kagome slide down an ice slide, extending all of the way into the woods before landing on her knees. Standing quickly, Kagome began running, getting close to the edge of the kingdom before being knocked back down. "Relax, I'm not here to kill you; I just want you to realize that you're going to have to do a lot of ass kissing with those goody-goodies to get a distraction from them so you can kill her." Naraku said standing up. "Yeah, that'll be a fun discussion to have after killing the Sheriff of Nottingham… in front of everyone… How'd you get roped up in this anyway?" Kagome asked eyeing him warily.
"She came right before you took the fairy up on her offer; she needed someone cunning and a shape shifter. Unfortunately, I was the only one for miles; she killed Kagura and Kanna and I found myself here. Why do you think I never killed you, with all of the opportunities I've had; because I need you to kill her to send us back." He growled. "I'll see what I can do for you, I might just kill you as well." Kagome said. "We'll see, killing you is going to be a great honor. There is one other thing, while we've lied and filled your head with them; that pirate's feelings for the savior are real." He said.
Kagome looked down at the pendant lying on her chest before glancing back up. "Don't think I should trust you because of what just transpired but whatever." She said walking backwards before turning around and running through the woods. 'Love is weakness.' Cora's voice floated through her head. "Yes it is." Kagome huffed, her eyes landing on the distant castle.
