She woke with a start, head pounding and throat burning. She sat up, bringing her hands to her head to try and soothe the throbbing there. Kagome felt no disorientation whatsoever, unless one counted the fact that she still COULD NOT SEE. She huffed in indignation. Surely there was some way out of this.
Rising slowly, she greatly appreciated the fact that she was no longer bound. Her wrists and ankles stung angrily where the ropes had rubbed them almost raw. She managed to stand for only a moment before her legs gave way. ‘Traitorous things.’
Not one to stay still for long, Kagome decided something must be done, with or without leg power. And so she crawled. It was slow going: every moment, she expected to crash nose-first into a wall, so she was very tentative…starting out.
After some time, the crawl became more forceful. She gained confidence, knowing that she MUST run into something sometime--and she did.
A startled cry escaped the girl’s lips as her face plowed into a solid barrier. She spent several minutes curled in on herself, stifling the sniffles that threatened to grow and deepen into a waterfall. Where was she? Who, or what, had brought her here? Would she ever leave…alive?
The well-trained miko forced herself to stay calm. She would get out--somehow.
Turning, Kagome ran her hands along the barrier. It felt like your normal, every-day wall. ‘Okay. We can do this. ’ She crawled slowly forward, keeping one hand on the wall. ‘If there’s a wall, surely there’s a door somewhere nearby.’
Suddenly, something changed in the texture of the wall. Excited, almost breathless, Kagome felt the bottom of the wall, quickly discovering a small crack, or slit, if you will. She searched anxiously to find other long cracks, these vertical, and succeeded. With much anticipation, Kagome reached for where the door handle should have been. It was right there, beneath her hand! Where would it lead her??
Nowhere, apparently.
The door was locked. Push or pull, cajole or shove forcefully, the door refused to budge. Kagome even tried pleading with it, tried demanding that it grant her entrance. It did not change its mind.
Kagome considered crying once again. It certainly seemed like the thing to do, considering her awful predicament. Who knew when she might see or speak again, if ever? Where on earth were her friends when she needed them now, more than ever?
Kagome’s eyes opened wide in realization. ‘That’s right…they aren’t even in this time! They won’t even realize I’m in trouble until…’ Until it’s too late. The unacknowledged thought hung in the back of her mind, taunting her. ‘What if I never see them again? They’ll never know what happened…’
*Flashback*
The little kitsune squirmed as his foster mother squeezed him with love, planting a loud kiss on his large forehead. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back before you know it!” She set him down gently, before turning to Inuyasha, the only other member of her group who wasn’t too sick to see her off.
“I will be back, you know.” She grinned at him. “A month really isn’t too much to ask, is it?”
“Feh. As long as you come back…” he began, but couldn’t stick with niceties. “Damn it, Kagome, if you’re even a day late, I swear--”
“Bye, love you too!” Kagome blew the irritated demon a kiss and jumped down into the well. The comforting blue and purple lights grew, surrounded her, and faded, then all was dark.
*End Flashback*
The girl groaned, not in pain, but in resignation. ‘There’s no way they’ll ever come looking for me… An entire month? What was I thinking? By that time…’ She closed off her thoughts once more, choosing instead to renew her investigations.
She continued crawling along the wall, pausing every now and then as she would find another door, and yet another, all of which were locked up tight. It felt as though she had been crawling forever--her knees shook with the abnormal way in which they were being used, and her hands were nearly numb after being dragged across the rough wall for so long. It wasn’t much longer before she came upon her sixth door, and she was so surprised at finding it to be unlocked that she almost fell through the doorway.
Kagome caught herself, caught her breath, and began to creep slowly through the door. She soon realized that it was very fortunate that she hadn’t fallen.
There was nothing there. It was like the world stopped at the door. Except…there was a strong smell coming through the doorway. It was familiar, reminded her of towels and swimsuits and…chlorine?! Why?
Wishing so badly that she could see, Kagome reached out blindly, reaching her arms straight out, then down, where she was almost unsurprised to find some mass of water. However, the sudden shock of lukewarm water on her hands jolted her, and she toppled forward, unable to find anything to stable herself.
She was stopped just as suddenly as something grasped and violently pulled at her thick mass of hair. She let out an abrupt shriek, almost unaware of the fact that her voice had returned. The pressure let up, and she was dumped unceremoniously back to solid ground.
“You are just determined to have your way.” It was the voice. That damnable voice, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, cold as ice, yet filled with an almost fiery hatred.
Kagome merely groaned; her head had smacked the ground on that one, hard. She found herself struggling even to concentrate. She did not, however, miss the somewhat frustrated sigh let out by a being standing close to her.
“Very well, then,” the voice went on, “we’ll see to it that you don’t make any more of these…forays, will we?” It chuckled, then a large, strong hand grasped Kagome’s wrist roughly and began dragging her along the ground.
“Oww! Damn it, oww!” Kagome tried unsuccessfully to release her arm from her captor, hissing in pain, both from the potential dislocation of her wrist or shoulder, and from the burn that was beginning on her bottom as the ground ate away at her skirt.
“Be quiet, human.”
Shock passed briefly across Kagome’s face, quickly to be replaced by indignation, then fury. “I will not!” she stated forcefully. She was tired, and cranky, and had a huge headache, not to mention the fact that she had actually been kidnapped, and was being held hostage, and hadn’t been able to talk for who knows how long, and still couldn’t SEE, and she told her captor this in terms that were very loud, very simple, and in fact, very rude. “And added to that, I’m being DRAGGED about by said captor, my ASS is being scraped off by the ground, and my wrist feels like it’s being RIPPED OFF!!” She finished her tirade with a large huff, followed by a cry of pain as her wrist was released and her upper body fell to the ground.
If she had thought her wrist and shoulder had hurt badly while she was being dragged, she didn’t know what to think now. In fact, she couldn’t think at all. The pain radiating from her shoulder was mind-numbing. She lay rocking slowly on the floor, moaning out her misery.
“And here I thought you were made of tougher stuff than this.”
Kagome could practically see the smirk on his face… Wait, she could see the smirk!
Before her eyes could focus farther, she was grabbed once more, this time at the waist, and tossed like so much garbage into a dark room. She attempted to grasp her wits, coming off her knees to stumble towards the door, before it shut forcefully in her face. Kagome heard the unmistakable heavy click of a key turning in its lock, yet she tried with all her strength to get the door open, just in case she had been mistaken…
She hadn’t. The door was irrefutably locked. Kagome let out the breath she had been holding, finally letting herself go. Letting herself cry.
She sat with her back to the door, her scraped bottom throbbing, her shoulder and wrist sending loud and obnoxious messages to her brain to help them with the pain, her head pounding with the ridiculousness of it all.
Who would have thought there would be such danger in her own world? In her own time, with no such thing as magic or demons… The tears leaked out--the deluge began. She just let it flow. Maybe it would make everything better. Maybe it was all just a dream, just a nightmare. Maybe she had simply hit her head on the bottom of the well…
With that thought in mind, Kagome went to sleep, this time of her body’s own accord.
A/N: So…hmm. I don’t know whether to consider this a cliffy or not. Maybe not so much. After all, surely you guys don’t wanna know who Kagome’s captor is (not that there are too many choices to pick from); and surely you don’t care where she is or what’s going to happen to her… *sigh* Why don’t I ever write nice, happy stories…? Cuz they’re no fun! Haha.
Thanks so much for reading, I would really love some reviews….pretty pretty please??
