Chapter 6
Naraku pounded on the large door that he had seen his beloved slid under. The rain was coming faster almost as if it too was furious that she had once again eluded him. "For the moment at least." He thought wryly to himself. "She will once more be mine, mine to do with as I please." Hearing the commotion from the building he guessed that the wretched police had been called. He ran, knowing that he would be safer elsewhere.
Growling to himself as he ran, he vowed that Kikyo would once again be his. He ran down the steps that led to the subway platforms, hoping to look like any other wet person in a hurry to get to out of the rain and eventually home. As he rode in the back of one of the nearly empty subway cars his thoughts turned to those many years ago when he had first seen the wondrous angel known as Kikyo.
O0OIt was spring then, the cherry blossoms were just starting to bloom, turning the trees around the campus into blooming wonders, the fragrance intoxicating. Spring the time of lovers, when romance bloomed, as did every thing else.
She had been walking from one building to another, her books firmly in hand, her step light. Her hair was braided; a long silky braid of shining black hair that fell almost to her knees. Unlike most of her female peers she wore no makeup, at least that he could see. Nor did she need it; hers was beauty that would have been diminished by such trivial things. He longed to run his fingers through her hair, to see what it would look like unbound. To have her look at him with those eyes that were such a deep shade of brown, a shade that he had never seen before and probably never would again.
Working up his courage he started to walk over to her, to get up the courage to speak to this angel before him. But before he had even stepped three steps toward her, a silver haired man came up and put his arm around her, slightly kissing her cheek as they walked, his arm around her waist. Something he said drew a laugh from those perfect lips and it floated through the air more melodious than the most moving sonnet.
He stood there his fist clenched at his side, seething inside. He should have been the one that the laugh was for! Not that silver haired freak of a student! He would have to do something about that idiot. Only he should be able to gaze upon such beauty, only he should be the one to touch the angel wrongly fallen from heaven.
O0OHe shook himself from his daydreaming as the subway car slowed nearing its last stop for the night. He slowly got up and exited the car, being the only one left on, besides the person driving. Walking quickly through the deserted subway platform, he made sure that he indeed was alone before slipping onto the tracks. He walked back the way that he had come from until he reached a older tunnel that branched off to the right, one that looked like it hadn't been used in maybe thirty years or more. His steps not even echoing he made his way down the forgotten tunnel, quite a ways before stopping at an old service door. After unlocking it he quietly slipped through leaving the outside world behind.
After walking a bit more through the maze of service tunnels he finally arrived at his destination. A large room furnished with all the comforts of home. A mattress lay in one corner of the room, and a table with a chair was pushed up next to his prize possession, a large chest freezer. Or rather he should say, that the freezer held his prize possession. Walking across the room he sighed running his fingers over the top of the large unit before opening the lid to peer inside.
Inside the freezer looking all the world like she was sleeping sat a young girl, her body modestly covered in a blanket, her hair falling in long waves behind her, silky black hair covered in a fine layer of frost. Her skin was pale and also tinged slightly blue with frost. Pulling up the chair beside the freezer he ran his hand over her hair smiling to himself.
"Ahh Kikyo. I'm so glad I got this larger model for you. It has to have much more room than that smaller one we first started with. It must have been so cramped. I'm sorry. But you will never guess what I saw to day Kikyo! It was you again! Come back into my life once again so that I might have a chance to once again hold you in my arms, and once again be able to take that spark of life away and capture it as I did yours. To hold forever in my arms and in my life, to never let you go Kikyo." He ran his fingers down her face tracing each feature, an almost loving gesture, before closing the lid, once again sealing the frozen shell of what had once been a young girl, so full of life.
O0OKagome opened her eyes, squinting just a bit at the bright light that was all around her. Hearing beeping noises in the background she shook her head a bit trying to get rid of that fuzzy feeling, and focus on were she was.
"Hmm wonder if I'm dead and this is heaven? It's so bright… but what is that infernal beeping noise?" she thought to her self before her eyes fully focused. Blinking a bit she looked around the room she was in, and realized that she was in the hospital and the beeping was a heart monitor attached to one of the many wires and tubes currently attached to her body.
She sat up quickly, remembering why she was here in the first place, Her vision swam as she sat up and she swayed a bit in the bed, clutching the guardrails for support. "That man…did they catch him?" she thought as she looked around for the button to push so that a nurse would come. She looked around slowly so as not to have the world go spinning again, and finally saw it hanging by the IV that was slowly dripping a clear fluid into her arm.
"Now why on earth would they hang it there? I can't even reach it!"
Luckily for her, a nurse was making her rounds at that point, and came into check on her. "Well! It's good to see you awake Miss! Let me call a doctor in here for you." The nurse said as soon as she saw that Kagome was awake.
Kagome lay down with a small sigh, as the doctor came into to look her over.
"Well other than your foot being cut open, and some bruising to your wrists, you appear to be fine. We are a bit concerned about you being unconscious for that long of a period of time, but that also could have been your body's reaction to what you've been through the last couple of days. Either way, we would like to keep you here for over night observation. Just to be on the safe side." The doctor said looking over his wire-rimmed glasses at her. After she nodded at him, he sighed rubbing the bridge of his nose with two fingers. "Now if you are feeling up to it, there is a police officer in the waiting room that wishes to talk to you. However because I feel that the patients health comes first, if you fell that you would rather see him tomorrow, I'm sure that I can put him off until after you've rested."
She smiled at him, a small smile that barely lifted the corner of her mouth. "Thank you for offering but I think I can handle it sir." She said brushing back a lock of hair as she spoke.
"Well alright, he'll be in shortly then. But remember you need to get your rest." He said as walked out.
