Kagome stood stunned in the spot where the weird man, at least she thought it was a man, had left her; pondering questions over and over inside her mind. What exactly did he mean by a lie? And how bad of a lie could it have been in order to be considered so dreadful? Shrugging, the teenage girl decided to take her chances, and figured that anything was better than being alone with Naraku. So she continued on to the left.
Halfway down the strange new hallway a light began to flicker over head. As she moved on, she noticed that the walls and flooring were different in this area then the other corridors she had stumbled into previously. The interior of this specific hallway looked clean, new and freshly done all in white; all highly welcoming in its appearance. As she cautiously crept forward, the hallway completely gave way to a rush of illumination, causing her to shield her eyes immediately.
So startling was the sudden contrast in lighting that as she looked behind her, Kagome could see nothing but darkness from the way in which she had come. Apprehension began to worm its way into her heart albeit the pearly white walls and sweet floral air scents. However, having come this far it would be a shame to turn back now, she reasoned.
Pulling her tattered shirt tighter around herself to preserve whatever modesty she had left, Kagome barely noticed the row of mirrors she had passed. It wasn't until a long slender hand had grasped her by the hair did she turn to her right, startled.
"Oh, look what you've done you fool!" A rather high pitched voice exclaimed.
"Me?" Screeched the owner of the offending appendage.
"Well of course you, you idiot! There certainly are no other occupants of the hallway about and since it twas not I who had done it, and most assuredly not she, well then, it must be you!"
A head splashed with a tuft of shockingly red hair peeked out from one of the unnoticed mirrors, apparently the owner to the hand that had so unexpectedly seized the unsuspecting girl. The little man that emerged looked quite comical in his white frock coat and thick rimmed glasses, which only assisted in magnifying his strangely bright emerald eyes to a hilarious proportion. From down the hall, Kagome watched as yet another little man, exactly the same as the first in attire and features, appeared.
"Objection! I demand a retrial this instance," cried the man whose name tag was labeled D Twiddle, whilst peering closely at the girl in his grasp. Examining her with his eyes, he nodded once and again to himself over some random observation he had made.
"I'm sorry dear brother but the judge has just stepped out to a year round lunch and the jury has all come down with the flu."
"The flu! What flu?"
"The kind that crashes in Brazil, I'm afraid." Sulking, D Twiddle let go of the young lady at his side and pouted. Leave it to Tweedle D to interrupt a moment of science for nonsensical pilot-tics. Here they had a prime specimen of a patient who just so happened to wander into their lab, and yet he, Tweedle D, wished to waste precious time. The doctors seemed to face off in that moment, staring at each other rather intently, causing Kagome to grow slightly agitated. What was even the meaning of this, she wondered?
"Excuse me, but do you know where I am?" Both men seemed to pause before turning their large curious gazes to her. And then, as if realizing the reason for their argument was standing their quite obliviously between them, the two stretched great smiles across their drooping faces and straitened their shoulders. This, if truth be told, helped little in the way of their horrible posture.
"Why you, my dear," began D Twiddle.
"Are in none other," joined in Tweedle D.
"Then the Playground of Wonders!" They both excitedly cheered.
So stunned by their sudden change in demeanor, Kagome barely noticed their shared looks of mischief, only barely. The impression left one of a fox cunningly trapping its prey and she was suddenly not so curious of the corridor or its occupants any longer.
