David turned from the fireplace as the door to the room opened, all occupants turning to take in the newcomers as they entered the room. "Emma! It's really you!" Snow exclaimed jumping up from her chair and flying to the woman. "I'm sorry do I know you?" Emma asked allowing her tired body to be pulled into the embrace. "It's a really long story. Are you tired; hungry?" David asked coming to stand next to his wife. "I want my son." Emma said pushing the dark haired woman away from her.
Turning his gaze from his daughter to the pirate standing behind her, he tapped Snow's arm before walking towards him. "Kagome was there; she encased Henry in a block of ice and took him." He explained. "So, we have less time to stage a fight then?" David asked. "She's not like the witch, she can't stand the thought of hurting a child." Killian said shaking his head. David threw a skeptical look at him as the two woman in the room gasped. "Henry!" Emma shouted.
In the middle of the room was the iced form of Henry, staring blankly at nothing. "Not again." Snow whispered as tears pricked her eyes. Emma placed her hands on the ice, nails biting into the ice and nose pressed against it, hoping the flames would make it melt quickly and that her son was still alive. "Relax, he's not dead. I do have some self control." Kagome said waving her hand, the ice disappearing and Henry falling to the ground, gasping for breath.
Face twisting in fury, David charged the dark haired woman, tackling her before she could react. "Is this really any way to treat the woman that just freed your grandson?" she asked, her voice muffled by the carpet under her mouth. Hauling her to her feet, David held his sword to her throat, making her roll her eyes and sigh. Striding over to the woman in David's grasp, she reared her fist back and sent it flying into Kagome's chin. "You're psycho." She growled before walking back to her son.
Wrenching herself out of David's grip, Kagome rubbed her chin before holding her hands up in a defensive stance. "Someone bring that girl to Neal. So, unless someone else wants to throw a punch; I've got some information you may want." She sighed. "What's going on?" Henry asked, trying to get his bearings. "A whole lot of weird, and now we're here." Emma said. "You're probably tired, let me show you guys to your rooms so you can get some rest. We'll talk about everything when you've got a clear head." Snow said sweetly.
Ducking her head as she walked past with her family, Kagome turned it a little as David followed, leaving her and Killian alone. "Good to know that they trust me." she smiled. "I don't, that's why I'm back with this." David explained shackling her hands behind her back. "You're spending the night in the tower; maybe even a few days depending on how we're feeling." He said turning her. "Let me talk with her first." Killian interjected stepping forward.
"I'll give you five minutes." David said shutting the door to the room. "I feel as though some things need to be cleared up about me." Killian said. "Look, right now I don't think my mind can handle too much, whether it's the truth or a lie. Just clear something up for me so I'm not in a constant state of pain." Kagome pleaded. "Anything for you love, I would never lie to you." Killian said leading her over the fireplace and sitting at the hearth.
Taking a deep breath Kagome kicked the train of her dress out and kneeled down, keeping distance between them as a way to keep a level head. "Did you sleep with Regina? And orchestrate my kidnapping by Cora's hand that day you offered marriage? And… are you in love with Emma?" She asked softly. "Sleep with Regina? That's the most disturbing thing I've ever heard! No I would never do that; and for you to even insinuate that I was working with Cora to have you taken is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I wouldn't have made you that promise if I didn't want to be with you. As for Emma; I thought you were dead when I met her, so I attempted to feel the way I felt for you with her." He explained.
"So what does that mean?" Kagome asked tiredly. Killian chuckled and scooting closer, moving her knotted hair away from her face, showing the pale blue snowflake that sat on her forehead, vines branching along her cheeks and down her neck; the little snowflakes decorating her skin. "It means, that I wouldn't dare try to replace you. It's impossible." He said. Rubbing his thumb on the snowflake, he tilted his head before placing a kiss on it.
Pulling back Kagome stood up, before falling down on a chair. "I really want to, but I don't think I trust you at all; I saw the way you looked at her, and the way you talk to her; even the kisses you've shared. They didn't look like nothing." She said walking over to the doors. "Wait, Kagome you don't understand." Killian panicked as she kicked the door open, making David jump. "If it's all the same to you, can I sleep before spilling all of her secrets? The tower sounds nice." She smiled. "Good, that's where you're going." David replied grabbing her upper arm.
Running in front of the two, Killian placed his hand and hook on her shoulders, meeting her steely gaze fully. "Please, you have to believe me that it meant nothing to me. I thought you had been killed, and I was in mourning." He hissed. Shrugging out of his hold, Kagome stepped closer to the pirate and allowed her glare to strengthen. "I'll see you on the battlefield." She hissed before being led away.
Sitting on her cot, Kagome watched the shadow of the prince walk down the stairs before turning to her window. "Blue, we need to talk." She said placing her elbows on the sill. "I know you're out there, come on this is serious." Kagome called rubbing her eyes. "What is it you're in need of that you're seeking my assistance?" Blue asked from behind the witch. "I honestly didn't think you'd show up." Kagome said turning, leaving her hand to rest on the window.
Blue gave her a small smile, her wings fluttering quickly behind her. Holding her hands out, Kagome heaved a deep breath as the tiny woman landed in her palms. "I sensed the urgency in your voice, now then; what can I assist you with?" Blue asked. "You re-wrote history to get me here; is there anyway that you can send Naraku and myself back?" Kagome asked. Blue frowned and turned her wand in her hands as her wings fluttered in anxiety. "Are you asking for right now?" Blue asked cocking her head.
"No, I wanted to know if you'd be able to do it in the middle of the battle. Naraku's one of Elphaba's strongest assets being a half demon and all, and since we technically don't belong here it's probably a better idea if we just remove ourselves." Kagome requested. Blue seemed to think it over, taking a few steps on Kagome's palms and straightened her posture. "Kagome, are you absolutely sure this is what you want? You wanted to escape the pain of your world so I did." Blue said flying up to her face. "Yes, please make sure that when the time comes you get us out of here." Kagome said.
Blue nodded and flew towards the window, turning and boring her gaze into Kagome's as she turned around. "Don't tell anyone about this." Kagome said. Blue nodded before turning and flying out of the tower. Pulling her hair back, Kagome moved over to her bed and sat as Snow appeared at her cell. "What can I possibly do for you princess?" Kagome asked. "You're not staying in the tower tonight. You have good in you, otherwise you wouldn't be here; I'm going to trust you enough to give you a room and let you sleep without a guard posted." Snow said unlocking the cell.
Kagome stood up and followed the royal down the stairs and through the halls, walking into a spacious bedroom. "Thanks." Kagome said turning. "You're welcome, if you need anything let me know. I'll see you at breakfast tomorrow." Snow said giving her a small hug before moving down the hall. Shutting the door, she walked a few feet away before a knock sounded through the room. "Yeah?" she asked opening the door.
Killian leaned against the doorframe, twirling a ring around his finger as he looked up. "I bumped into her royal-ness; thought you could use something to sleep in." he said holding a shirt up. "Thanks." She mumbled taking it from his grasp. "Sure, anything else I can do for you love?" he asked. "Can you just hold me; my head has been killing me since Elphie revealed everything when I got back. I just need something familiar to balance all of my uncertainty and confusion." She whispered. Killian stepped into the room and shut the door behind him, concern all over his features as he wrapped her in his embrace. "I'm not going to leave you." He said into her hair.
