Kagome took a moment as she opened her eyes. Her eyes adjusted to the darkness while she attempted to move. She was chained, her arms and legs were chained to something but she was laying on something very soft, a cot? Looking around she was blinded by a light suddenly. Covering her face she felt the top of the raise to a 140 degree angle. She was bandaged but she was in a celled room. Looking around the cell door opened while she narrowed her eyes kicking against the chains, "Where am I!"
Her eyes contracted to the exact same look of blood lust but the figure noticed that she wasn't looking him in the eye. Walking forward Kakashi asked, "So you're awake then."
She glanced to his eyes only for a second then looked away. He leaned his back against the cell door while she ordered, "Leave me alone!"
"You don't even know where you are."
"I'm a prisoner that is enough to know! Just leave me alone!"
Walking towards her solemnly he sighed looking back, "You have visitors."
She glanced to him her eyes still fierce yet drawn back. She watched him turn and leave while more figures turned entering. She drew her legs back slowly noticing she was being chained to a wall. Standing the weight of the chains caused him to fall to her knees. She tuned her head slowly to the 3 figures beside Kakashi. She asked threateningly, "Who's there!"
Sasuke walked forward casually his hands wedged in his pockets turning away. He grunted, "Now here is a more serious predicament than before."
She looked away from him not caring much for his insults or anything else while Sakura spoke loudly just to get it over with as she guessed, "Thank you!"
Raising an eyebrow she stood propping herself on the bed forcefully, "For?"
"Saving me"
She nodded for a moment remembering that then turned away Sasuke following in thanks while Naruto refused to thank her or look at her his nose high in the air. She smirked to him for a moment yet it was hidden by the darkness, "thank you."
Kakashi seemed impressed by her change in behavior, he changed the subject, "You are a prisoner here, for your attempted attack on us and Lord Hokage has asked to keep you here under suspicion and analysis. We gave him all the information you told us and they are suspecting you for a row of murders found."
Sasuke seemed surprised by his bluntness of saying so but he noticed Kagome slam her head against the pillow. She ordered, "All I want is books about your time, I am guessing I am going to be here for a while so I would appreciate as much…"
Surprised once again Naruto grunted turning, "Yeah you can make prison life seem fine."
He left without a word Sakura following as Kakashi walked near the doorway waiting for Sasuke yet he stood there looking up to the dark room with a small light in the corner. Even so he could see she was just sitting on the bed her head pressed against the wall her eyes glowing in the darkness a small sad smile on her face. He spoke, "I'll get you some books then, in debt for you helping me before though I'll never need it again."
She scoffed as they left. She heard the door slam to a close. She took a deep breath turning her head to the cell door way standing bending forward causally her hands near the ground. Stopping she kicked the anchor of the chains to break it. After what seemed to be hours of doing so she looked to her bleeding feet. A moment she staggered back hearing a clatter near the door. Turning her head jumping she saw a tray of food appear and a low grunt ordering, "Cut it out you're giving us a headache! You won't like it when we're angry, so don't provoke us Lord Hokage is here to see you also so be respectful."
She furrowed her eyebrows leaning forward wondering, "Who the hell is this Lord Hokage?"
She saw a slow move near the cell door and then stop turning to her. With an old voice she swore rivaled that of her own grandfather's she asked, "Are you this Lord Hokage I hear about?"
He raised his head to her for a moment nodding, "I am and as I heard you are quite the troublemaker, Kakashi's testimony tells me that you were their prisoner and you gave up yourself. Though your behavior and time of appearance is identical to the timing of some deaths I heard about."
Kagome leaned forward snapping, "I am not a murderer! I don't even know this world! All I know is that if they are to fight me I well defend myself I don't go into battle with the intent to kill only the intent to punish!"
He paced near the cells for a moment then put his hands behind his back, "You say you are not of this world."
Leaning forward she asked, "You do not believe me?"
"Actually quite the opposite the others believe you and they witnesses a monster as they said…and so I would like to know more of your world and you in return…I won't have you become our lab rat in forms of getting the information out of you or trying to use it to have you confess about the murder I think you are responsible for."
She leaned back crossing her legs and shutting her eyes. She didn't trust these people why would she spill her life story? She turned to him, "I'll take my chances with torture."
He seemed shocked by her choice and noticed her loyalty to her world though it seemed to be a rather undistinguishable world from what he knew. He also knew torturing her would not be something he wanted to do, especially since she was a victim of such acts before. Still he stood to his word nodding, "Alright then…"
He left slowly while Kagome dropped her head. She looked at the food across the room and rested her hand on her stomach. She turned from it lying on the cot carefully taking the bandage from her upper wound and wrapping it around her feet in exchange.
Sasuke sat on his roof carefully, in the room below he had filled two boxes of books and soon to be more of books about their world also putting in a pencil and notebook thinking she would be bored. He jumped suddenly remembering she was an assumed criminal. Turning away he shook her head to his sudden affection for her.
Maybe it was the way she looked at him when she had saved him, the way she was. To have someone so power and so hurt thinking perhaps his pain and his compassion to make her whole and her in return to him. Sighing he realized he wouldn't have so much time to care about her especially when training was to occur soon enough.
