We flew for a long time before we eventually landed by a very dark castle with ominous grey clouds putting up a wall around it. He settled me down to my feet and motioned for me to follow him inside. I hesitated and just stood there looking at him. I wasn't even about to enter that castle with this guy. Unt uh! No way in hell! The man then turned around and saw that I wasn't planing on accompaning him. He walked back over to me and grabbed me by my hand and started to drag me towards the catsle entrance. "Let me go got damn!" I cried trying to losen the tight grip around my wrist.
"Don't squirm. Calm down or I'll kill you," the man simply replied. I sighed and obeyed him, for I knew that he wasn't joking. We entered the castle and it was even darker on the inside than on the outside. He drug me down countless hallways passing very strange and freakish items on the way. He finally stopped in front of a door. He opened it and we walked in. There was a lady with red eyes and black hair similar to his and a little girl with white hair and black eyes there to greet us. The lady with the red eyes narrowed them at me and gave me a suspicious look.
"Naraku. Who is this girl?" she asked the man with the black hair. She started walking towards me. I took a step backward. The man noticed my reaction and let out a light chuckle.
"Do not be afraid girl," he said, "Kagura is harmless." He then turned his gaze back to the woman. "This girl here can see the sacred jewel shards. She can help aide us in my quest to retrieve all of them." The woman once again gave me a suspicious look.
"You sure are dressed strangely. Like that girl Kagome. Are you from her era too?" she asked me.
"I...I don't know," I said, "I don't know who this Kagome is. All I know is that I'm lost and I would really like to go home now." I turned around and tried my best to make it to the door so I could escape this wretched place, but the man grabbed my arm to prevent me from doing that. He roughly pulled me back to him and grabbed my other arm. His grip was painfully tight. He stared down at me with piercing, murderous eyes.
"Oh no girl, you will assist me in my endevors," he said with an evil grin on his face, "if you should refuse, know that I will not hesitate to kill you." His nails bore into my skin causing me to gasp and wince in pain.
"But...but how on earth can...I...help you?" I asked confused, tears starting to form in my eyes. He let his grip go and turned and walked out of the room. I rubbed my arms in the places where the nail marks were. Seconds later he came back in the room with a bow and several arrows.
"Seeing as you have the ability to see the jewel shards, I can only assume that like Kagome and Kikyo, you possess the powers of a priestess," he said, shoving the weapons into my arms. He also pulled out a sword from behind his back and threw it at my feet. "These weapons will aide you in battle."
"Battle?" I asked, now very concerned, "I don't know how to use these things. I'm not a fighter."
"The knowledge of such weaponry will come in due time," he replied, "I believe that your skills will come in handy for me. Now follow me." He exited the room and I obeyed him as I grabbed the heavy arsenal and followed him down another hallway. I glanced back to see Kagura still giving me an unfriendly glare, while the little pale girl's face remained unchanged. I countinued to follow the man until we stopped at another room. This time it was a bedroom. He turned and looked back at me. "You will be living here with me now at the castle," he told me, "get some rest. We will test out your skills tommorrow. From now on you are a servant to this Naraku." He turned around and slid the door shut. I could hear the sounds of his footsteps decreasing and soon the sound stopped completely. I threw the heavy weaponry on the ground and fell down beside it. I let the tears flow freely down my face. Never ever had I missed home as much as I did right now.
