DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha nor have any plans to. I simply love to write.
Alright guys here is Chapter 8. Chapter 9 is a work in prgress and should be up fairly soon!
Kagome's POV
"Kagome? *static* Come in Kagome? *static*" I opened my eyes in a flash and sat up in my cot. I pressed my finger to my ear and looked around in my dark cell hoping that no one heard that. I slowly let out a breath of air; that was too close.
"I read ya Miroku. What is it this time?" It had been a few weeks no since I had been sent to the mansion and so far there was no luck as to finding out how to get around the guards at night, especially with the damn doors. The hive was no closer to destroying the Takahashi clan then we were a few weeks back.
The guards were always lurking in the shadows and I never even came close to finding out a way to sneak around the mansion grounds. I still had the vial hidden deep within the cells walls, but soon, it would be found.
"Kagome we may have found a way for you to get around," Miroku told me. A grin broke across my face and I gave him my thanks before he logged off. We were finally starting to act like the Rebellion I knew us to be.
"Get the hell up you human scum," a giant boar demon yelled and I shrieked as a dose of cold water covered me. I sprung up and glared at the filthy vermin before me and got up and off my cot. I positioned myself behind the demon as he was busy waiting for the door to be open and smiled as he walked away.
"Come, your jobs won't get themselves done," he snorted and led me up to the kitchen. He threw me to the ground and Ifelt relieved when I heard a familiar growl. The pig demon was knocked back as a very angry, red-eyed, Inuyasha stood over me.
"Don't you lay a finger on her," he roared before grasping the demons wrist and twisting it. The demon squeeled like the pig he was as the hand popped from his arm. Blood spilled onto the ground and I sighed knowing I was going to have to clean the stains up.
"What a bitch," I muttered under my breath. Ever since Inuyasha had found out about the scars from Kikyo, he had started bashing on any demons that touched me in a way he deemed unfit. I liked pretending that he was still the same Inuyasha I loved.
A sharp slap across my cheek instantly changed my mind, though, and I snapped my eyes back up to glare at the bitch. His eyes were glazed over in that vacant stare I had come to despise.
"What? Don't get laid enough or something?" I spat at him and moved to get a cloth from one of the kitchen cupboards to clean up the mess. I turned to look at him and almost smiled as his beautiful ears tweaked towards the door. Before I knew it, he had dropped the severed limb, grabbed the pig demon, and was out of the kitchen.
I growled under my breath as I leaned over to pick up the hand and throw it away. It was the same as always with him. I wondered how I had ever come to fall for him. I shook my head and sighed. Things would never be the same between us. Not with that ho as his mate.
I cleaned up the kitchen and went to glance out in the halls. Seeing they were clear through the lens I rushed back down to the cells and stopped at my door. I only had a short time to do this. The outside of the steel door had no locks and I added another mental note to my list.
It only had a handle and I smiled as I grasped the round object in my hand before slipping back up the stairs to complete my chores for the day. Thankfully, I didn't run into anymore demons or Inuyasha and was able to formulate my plan quiet beautifully.
It was dark when I awoke and I slipped off of the cot quietly and over to the door. I kept myself crouched low and lightly pushed against the door and grinned when I felt it move. I kept my movements slow and opened it wide enough to slip through and watched the halls for any signs of movement. I looked at the door as it shut and held in a laugh.
"* static* Good job sis. Good thing we wolves taught you how to steel, ne?" Ginta sounded through my speaker.
FLASHBACK
As we headed down the stairs I grasped the small, hollow steel ball tightly in my hand making it look as though I was only keeping my hands in fists. As the demon in front of me dropped each girl off individually, I navigated my hand to the doors when the demons shut them and kept my miko powers low.
The ball pulsed with a thick demonic aura and I surrounded it in a small barrier to not alert the demons. When we approached my door, I watched as the demon powered it with his demonic aura and pull it open. As I passed by, I slipped the metal ball into the key hole on the side of the door.
"Now be a good bitch and maybe we won't have to wake you up so rudely tomorrow," the demons snarled at me before slamming the door shut. I lowered the barrier surrounding the steel ball and smiled before falling asleep.
END FLASHBACK
"How did you know the demons had those things on them," I whispered out as I made my way to the door stealthily. I pressed my back to the wall and peered up the stairs. Clear. I ran up the steps and stopped just in front of the kitchen door. The door was going to be a bitch for it squeaked when you opened it in a slow manner.
"Oh, I encountered them one time went I had gone out on a mission. Seems the demons use it against other demons to trap their demonic powers in the small balls. I don't really know what it's made up of, but I know it works," Miroku explained to me as I placed my hands against the door and shoved hard.
It swung open fast and I sprung out to catch it before it slammed against the wall. Everything froze as I tried to catch my breath in slow, quiet movements. I sighed, softly, and turned to shut the door realizing it was going to be difficult.
I stopped as I heard a movement from the kitchen door and jumped over to hid behind the barrels of meat that were located in the corner by the door. The footsteps became louder and heavier as they walked towards the door and stopped.
"Huh, told Jaken he didn't close the door. That stupid little imp is going to get us all killed by Lord Sesshomaru," the demon huffed as I heard the door squeak loudly before being shut. I listened to the fading footsteps before sticking my head back out. After a few more seconds of silence, I glided through the shadows of the kitchen I peered around the corner. The darkness wrapped itself around me as an invisible blanket as I pressed my body against the cold wooden floors.
I slithered across the floor to avoid any of the loud creeks and made my way down the first hall. It was dark and I blinked as my eye adjusted taking in pictures of the hall for Ginta.
"Kagome, there are a few doors down there. Go check them out. See if they are important," he told me and I crawled over to each one carefully placing my ear against the cold steeled doors.
From the other side I could sense someone occupying the spaces and turned to head out of the hall to the next one. All the while I slipped and crawled across the corners and pressed my body against the walls to keep up my invisible façade.
The other hallways had been empty, but all either had locked doors or cupboard spaces draped in red and black fabrics. I had almost reached out to touch one, but stopped myself and headed out again to look for something that could help us.
As I was about to head out of one of the rooms I was in, something tugged at my miko powers. I glanced around and saw nothing, yet the tug was still there. Curious, I began to press my hands against the floor boards and crawled around when I touched something that set off a faint pink spark.
"Well lookie here. A trap door!" the boys hooted in my ear. I felt around the boards until I found a little black flap sticking up from the floor and pulled. The door opened up swiftly and I jumped in.
On the inside of the door was a small, cramped, handmade tunnel. The rocky structure was painted in bloody stripes and strange carvings. I traced my fingers over the art and pulled back when I felt a sharp spark go off.
I reached up to pull the handle down before pressing my hand against the wall to navigate my way through. I stopped once I had reached a barricade and sighed.
"There's nothing here," I whispered as I fingered the tunnels end. But the structure beneath my fingertips faded and my hand slipped through. I almost shouted as I toppled over a few feet, but flipped over and landed gracefully at the bottom.
"Holy. Shit," Miroku whispered. Confused, I looked up and almost cried out in astonishment. Before me, was a library; an ancient one at that judging by the books that were thick and covered in dust. I pushed myself up and walked over to one of the shelves and trailed a finger down its rough cover.
I couldn't see that well because of the darkness, even with the camera in my eye, but I did my best to maneuver myself around the countless shelves and strange artifacts. I walked around gathering all the information I could for Ginta when I finally found a door. I pushed it open and frowned when yet another tunnel lay before me.
Pushing away all my insecurities, I slipped inside and brushed my hand against the walls to feel my way through. It took forever until I reached the end and almost screamed. Another dead-fucking-end. I almost slammed my head against the wall when I heard something above me. I looked up to see another wooden door and smiled. Fuck yes!
I squatted down then sprang up, smashing the door to pieces with a faint burst of my miko powers. I jumped through the opening and immediately scanned the room for any danger. There was none and I almost shouted with glee.
It was a basement and it was nowhere near the Takahashi building. In fact, the tunnel seemed to lead straight to the center of the city. The basement was dark and smelled like murky water and when I got up to slide along the walls, my toe caught on something and I fell flat on my face.
Well, so much for being badass, I thought as I turned to see what it was. It was a human skull. I panicked for a moment before realizing that the whole basement was full of them! I leaned down to pick one up and stared into the eye sockets wondering what they were doing down here.
"Kagome, get a move on we need for you to see where this basement is connected," Miroku commanded me. I sighed and placed the skull back on the ground before turning around to see what could lead me to the outside.
Ahead was another door and I looked at it, puzzled. I made my way over and pushed against it realizing it was stuck. I took a deep breath and channeled my miko powers into the door and smiled when it creaked and groaned before swinging open. The familiar smells of the city made their way to my nose and I smiled as gray skies met my eyes.
"Oh shit," I gasped as the boys cheered on the other line. The door led to one of the alleyways that the Rebellion used plenty of times and actually wasn't too far off from the hive. I shushed the boys as I closed the door and made my way back down the tunnels towards the ancient library I had discovered.
I could fell something eerie lurking within the depths of the library's shadows. I shivered before moving back towards the hole, above, in the wall on the other side. I climbed the scaly structure of the wall and hauled myself inside, then crawled back to the trap door from before.
I lightly pushed the lid up and peered around in the dark room before sliding in and heading out into the hallways again. One secret passage down and so much I still have to do, I thought as I made my way down another hall to discover just a dead end.
What the fuck, I thought as I touched the wall and frowned. What was it with the dead ends in this fucking place. But something called to me and I pressed against the wall searching for some clues as to why I felt that the wall was a fake.
Suddenly, a slot in the wall caved in and I tried to step back as the wall moved in a quick, circular motion, slapping me on my back and pulling me into the white light on the other side.
"Ah!" I yelled as I fell to the ground and pushed myself up. This place is like a fucking hall of mirrors, I thought in pain as I sat up. I closed my eyes and rubbed my head but then opened them wide when I smelled something sweet.
I gaped for a second as I took in the beautiful scene before me. Flowers of different shapes and colors twisted and turned to make an exotic garden and I pulled myself up to my feet to touch one of the purple lilies in front of me.
I took a deep breath and exhaled in bliss before fingering the other plants in wonder and joy. The place reached out to my soul and gave it peace as I delved deeper into the bright colorful room. The smells made me smile wide and I cooed in awe at the flowers.
I wonder who takes care of this garden, I thought as I brought another flower up to my face and took a sniff; the warm smell of honey made my inside melt. I was so busy smelling the flowers that I didn't sense the presence behind me until it was too late.
"What the FUCK do you think you are doing in MY garden!"
