Kagome broke out of the arms around her waist, blue eyes wide as she took in the form in-front of her. There in front her was a man, he wore something that would be considered outdated now a days, spandex type pants, black boots, and a black dress type shirt with a black cape that flowed around him. He had blonde hair that was a messy but neat type look, but went well with him.
She heard him chuckle as she took him in, his mismatched eyes looked at her with a calculating look, "Well, this is interesting." He was looking her over, he seemed to not know what to make of her.
Taking a breath Kagome stood up straight and looked him square in the eyes, "And what is it that you find interesting, might I ask?" She was gonna be polite, maybe this way she could find a way to get back home. She knew her mother didn't mean to be so harsh, she was just at wits end with her.
He took a couple steps forward still looking at her as he semi circled her, "I find it interesting that I have such an old child wished away." the man frowned, as he looked her in the eyes as he put his gloved hand on his chin, tipping is head to the side in wonder, "Such a pity."
Kagome glared at him, "What is 'Such a pity'" It came out more snappy than she intended but something about him set her off. Like she should be on guard around him. The air he held just put her on edge, like she was waiting for something to happen but she couldn't figure out what it was.
He glanced her over a smirk on his face, "That someone your age to be wished away." He paused, looking her in the eyes, "It is something that doesn't happen often."
Frowning Kagome pursed her lips together, "What do you mean my age?" She wasn't that old, she was still in her teens.
"I mean, that someone older than courting age is wished away." The way he said courting age made Kagome straighten her back, and glare at him.
"I goaded my mother into by accident." Kagome informed him, keeping her eyes on him. Watching his every movement.
Jareth eyed the woman in front of him, "really? How did you do that?" He was very curious, it wasn't everyday something like this happened.
"Yes..."Kagome paused, sighing as she took a deep breath, "She doesn't believe that all Folk Lore and myths are based on truth. So she decided to prove me wrong."
Jareth chuckled, "I see. That is why she didn't want to run the Labyrinth. She didn't believe it was actually happening." He saw hurt flash in her eyes, before disappearing. She was good at keeping her emotions in check, at least a little bit.
"She kept on muttering on how it was a trick, and I should go away." Jareth informer her, he had felt bad for the young woman.
Kagome sighed, "So what are you going to do now?" It never said in books what really happened to children that were wished away.
"Hmmm" was the only answer she go in return as the stood in silence, before she looked at a chuckling Jareth.
He gave her a smirk, "How about I make you a deal." He started, glancing over the young woman that stood before him. He rarely made deals with people, but she could prove to be interesting. There was something, he could feel it, that was different about this girl. He wanted to figure it out, and what better way than to get her to play his game.
"A deal?" Kagome inquired skeptically, she didn't know if she could trust him. By the look in his eyes she was getting the feeling not to trust him.
Nodding Jareth waved his hand, a clock with thirteen numbers appeared before them both. Kagome stared at it in wonder waiting for him to continue talking. He was up to something it would seem, and from the look on his face it didn't look good.
Gesturing to the clock he spoke, "Yes a deal. If you make it through my Labyrinth to my Castle before the time runs out on this clock, you may have your freedom." He smirked at her as she gave him an apprehensive look.
"Meaning..."Kagome started, looking the clock over, "I have thirteen hours to finish." Looking at the grinning man, she frowned. It didn't sound that hard, but then again. She glanced towards the castle, it could take that long if she took a wrong turn in the stone like maze.
"That is correct Little Dove." He answered, smirk still in place as he took her chin and tilted it up. His mismatched eyes looked into her own. His eyes drew Kagome in but quickly shook it off, and glared at him once again before swatting his hand away.
Chuckling Jareth stepped back, "Are you up to playing my game, Little Dove?" He hoped she did, it would give him a chance to figure out what drew him to her.
"It is the only way I am going to get home, do you really have to ask that question." Kagome snipped, she took a step back as she did so.
Jareth Gave a toothy grin, "Then your time starts now." He started to walk backwards from here. His form becoming transparent, "Just know that it isn't an easy rode." With that he disappeared from sight leaving only glitter like dust behind.
I wish you luck whispered through the air as Kagome continued to stare at the empty spot that once held the Goblin King, it seemed her time had started then. Taking a deep breath she sighed, it seemed like it always happened to her, but then again she did provoke her mother.
Running a hand over face she sighed, "Well, I guess I shouldn't waste any time then. I have thirteen hours." She looked out towards the labyrinth, it was long, and probably had lots of obstacles before she would reach the castle that resided in the middle.
Looking out at her goal, the castle, she started her way there with a determined look on her face. She would make it, Kagome had something far too important to finish and she couldn't be stuck here just because she couldn't find her way somewhere in a certain amount of time.
She couldn't lose. Kagome couldn't risk it.
She HAD to make it.
Kagome's eyes shinned brightly with fire as she made her way down to the gates. They stood high, showing all where to enter. All she had to do was find out how to get in. There wasn't any nobs, there had to be something you had to do to get in.
Finding it would be the problem.
Kagome looked at the Labyrinth in awe, it was something. She had never seen something so magnificent, and surrounded by magic.
"Beautiful." Kagome whispered, eyes never leaving the gates that were closed. She shook herself out of it and glanced around. She needed to find away in.
Looking around she tried to find a way to figure out how to enter the closed of Labyrinth. She knew by the feeling in the air, that there was magic surrounding it.
"Where to start" She muttered to herself, as she looked around to find something that could direct her in the right direction.
Looking around she heard something, it was...a Goblin? From the look of it that is what it seemed, small weird looking thing that reminded her of Jaken, Sesshoumaru's attendant/little follower.
She approached the figure slowly, he was muttering to himself. She chuckled at this, it seemed he wasn't fond of being in the garden.
"Excuse me?" Kagome asked, looking at the Goblin who had his back turned towards her. She held back a smirk as she saw the Goblin jump and turn around. His eyes narrowed, and his spray typed bottle in his hands pointed at her.
"What?" He snapped, form tense as he looked at her. She smiled hearing his town, it reminded her of Inuyasha when he was grouchy or sulking.
"I was wondering if you could help me enter the Labyrinth?" Kagome saw him eye her now, the look of hate on his face worsening.
"You wished away a child I take it." He grumbled, as he made his way past her. He really wanted nothing to do with people who wished away children. They were all selfish to do so.
Kagome blinked, "NO I was wished away." She glanced at the Goblin as he quickly turned around, looking at her in disbelief, " I made a deal with the Goblin King."
"A deal you say?" The Goblin crackled, "What deal did you make to enter the Labyrinth?" he had a guess but he wanted her to say it for confirmation.
Smiling she hummed a reply, "If I run the Labyrinth in 13 hours I am free to go home." She glanced at the Goblin who was still eying her like she was a puzzle.
The Goblin snorted, muttering about idiot humans before looking at her,"Follow me."
He took her past a garden, and to a different set of doors that were closed, "The other doors are a decoy." The Goblin gave her a fanged smile.
"Alright. Thank You." Kagome said as the doors creaked open. She turned around and smiled at the retreating form of the Goblin.
Kagome took a deep breath before walking threw the big gates but something happened when she set foot into the Labyrinth.
She felt something go threw her body, making her eyes go wide and look around at the new scenery that surrounded her. Magic was flowing everywhere, like electricity.
That is all she felt before she blacked out, back falling against the now closed Labyrinth, locking her in words echoing in her head.
You have finally arrived!
