Killian hooked his hook around Kagome's wrist, his gaze flickering from the ogre searching the clearing to the flying monkeys overhead. "I don't suppose you have any knowledge on those creatures?" He whispered. "No, she made sure I stayed away from them and watched your every move on her stupid crystal ball. She said my hatred of you was good and healthy and to use that." Kagome whispered back. "Great." Killian mumbled.
Dropping his hand down to his sword hilt, he drew it and jumped to Kagome's other side. "I'll take on the ogre, love." He said before darting away from her side towards the creature. Thoughts not processing quick enough, Kagome flung herself onto her stomach as the monkeys swooped down. "I'm going to kill Elphaba." She growled climbing to her feet and holding her hand back. Throwing her hand forward, she watched as the frozen water weighed down on two monkeys' wing's dropping them to the ground.
"Oh good, two down; four more to go." She mumbled. Glancing over at Killian, she was able to catch his eye as he danced between the ogre's feet, slicing at the ankles to bring it down. Turning her attention back to the monkeys, she was able to fire off enough water quickly to drop three; driving icicles through their hearts as she glanced around for the last one. Hearing a shriek behind her, she spun, her hand ready to make her attacker drop.
The monkey screeched again slamming into the woman before she could attack back. Nails dug into her face, as the flying monkey sat on her chest, scratching her exposed skin as its feet kept her arms pinned down. "Kagome!" Killian shouted from his own fight. Growling in aggravation, Kagome wiggled as the monkey was thrown off. "Thanks." Kagome grumbled climbing to her feet slowly. "Did you kill the ogre?" she asked, her face burning from the attack. "No, I did make it lose it's ability to walk though, come on; lets go find a safe place so I can really get a look at your injuries." He said placing a hand on her lower back.
Taking a few steps away from the clearing, they both turned as they heard the ogre roar. "You said you took away its ability to walk!" Kagome shouted as it began stepping towards them. "I did!" Killian yelled back as they began to run, the ogre on their heels. 'Elphaba.' Kagome thought as they ran. Running, both let out a noise as the ground beneath their feet dropped out from under them.
Kagome groaned and rolled, pushing Killian's limp form to the side as the ogre fell; much to Kagome's relief impaling its eye on a jagged tree stump. Sitting up she leaned over the pirate to check for injuries as a twig snapped behind her. Spinning, Kagome felt her body sag in relief. "Thank goodness; I need your help Glinda." She said standing up. "I can see that." Glinda smiled waving her wand in a circle; the dark haired woman took in the drawing room. "Your friend is hurt." The platinum blonde witch said gesturing to the pirate as he lay on the floor.
Hovering her hand over the bloody wound on Killian's side, Kagome poked the skin before standing up. "Can you explain something to me? What's going on? Why does Elphaba suddenly hate me so much?" Kagome asked. Glinda waved her wand to the fireplace, warm flames springing up from the wood to warm the room. "I want to tell you a story; once there was a witch that was treated like an outcast by her peers. There was also another witch that led those same peers to tease and torment the witch, all because she was different. After realizing the woman went to far, she befriended the out casted witch and they became such good friends; until the day the out casted witch was not chosen to be the one by the rulers side."
"The out casted witch then began cursing people, turning them into scarecrows, tin men, even lions; though they were not always done with a clear head. Then, after turning her own sister to hatred, the witch began to turn to darkness herself; no matter how much the friend tried to help, nothing would help the way the out casted witch felt on being betrayed on being passed up for the position. So she is trying to find something that allows her to hold onto the power and darkness that she needs." Glinda finished, twirling her wand with her fingers.
"Okay; so how's that have anything to do with me being 'so powerful'?" Kagome asked shaking her head. "What were you in your world?" Glinda sighed. Kagome jumped at the question as the witch in front of her rolled her eyes. "The fairies and I talk; now what were you?" Glinda asked again. "A priestess; well, the re-incarnation of one at least." Kagome responded slowly. "Notice anything about this world?" Glinda asked walking past the dark haired woman.
"This world doesn't have any priestesses; only fairies and witches." Kagome questioned. "Correct, when you were brought to this world, you were what?" Glinda asked. "I was a dressmaker, with a very unconventional ability to heal. How does this have anything to do with anything?" Kagome asked getting annoyed. "Because, your ability to heal stems from your priestess powers that came over with you. Your powers that were locked away were no longer priestess abilities; they were the key to making sure Elphaba would be able to keep the darkness by ensuring that she turns you just as dark as her. You're the game changer, because when you were brought over she was able to cross over and get Naraku. He's her muscle." Glinda explained.
Kagome furrowed her brow and tapped the end of her nose in thought. "So, she unlocked these powers but over here, since there are no priestesses, all of those abilities I had have been converted into these weird ice abilities. I wish my world was simple again; when all I had to worry about was making sure the little boy down the road's fever was gone within a day." Kagome sighed rubbing her forehead. "Don't underestimate Elphaba; she enlisted Cora's help just to get you. She was able to warp your mind against your loved ones; especially your true love." Glinda said nodding in Killian's direction.
Placing a hand on Kagome's shoulder, Glinda swept out of the room leaving the girl to digest the information. "Well, that was an interesting conversation, love." Killian said sitting up. "How much did you hear?" she asked turning around slowly. "Quite a bit." He responded. Kagome moved a strand of hair from her face and bit her lip as Killian stood up, crossing his arms over his chest, his eyes regarding her carefully. "So, anything you want to tell me?" he asked. Kagome rolled her eyes and plopped in a chair; burying her hands in her hair as she threw his question around in her mind carefully.
"I'm from Japan; the same world as Emma just in a different country. When I was fifteen I fell down a well on my families shrine; and I met a half-demon, Inuyasha, who mistook me for his dead love. I broke a jewel that grants someone they're deepest wish, but I'm the guardian of the same jewel. The half-demon and I set out to find the shards and restore it to it's former glory; along the way meeting some people that also had a vendetta against the person we were up against. His name is Naraku, he's also a half-demon and wants to ultimately destroy us all; right now he's working with Elphaba."
"It was getting later and a storm was rolling in. The rest of the group and I were ready to stop for the night, Inuyasha wasn't having any of it. He started yelling, saying that we needed to pick up the pace and we were so close to finding Naraku. I couldn't catch what happened, it was too quick, but his sword was gone from his side; and he was a full-demon. His sword held him in check because when he turns into a full-demon all of his senses are gone and he tries to kill everyone in sight to appease his suppressed blood lust."
"Sango and Miroku sprang into action, Inuyasha sliced through them like it was nothing, he didn't stop, he just kept slicing; there were body parts all over and so much blood. Shippo tried to go and hide but Inuyasha… he threw me to the side out of his way and he grabbed him, bit his throat out and when he turned to me… he left. I sat there for I don't even know how long and begged for someone to take the pain away. I honestly would have rather died than live with the images. Then Blue showed up, she said she could re-write everything and take me to a new land where I would never remember anything; so I took the opportunity."
Killian watched as her eyes filled with tears, moving her hands to cover them as she folded into herself. Taking a few steps to close the distance, he knelt down and cupped her head in his hands, making her look up at me. "We'll destroy this woman; I'm not going to let this destroy you." He promised. Kagome sniffed, showing the pirate a different side to the woman that was always composed around him. "Thanks." She mumbled.
Pulling her to him, Killian wrapped his arms around her; glancing up as Glinda opened the door slightly. Behind her, he was able to see the small form of the Blue Fairy as she peered in as well, her gaze resting solely on the woman in his arms. 'What are they planning?' he thought narrowing his eyes slightly.
