A/n: Here’s another chapter for you, my readers and reviewers. I’m not very happy with this chapter so I’ll probably revise it later.

As for Keiko, I’ll just say, not all things are as they seem. Sharan enjoys toying with peoples feelings, he finds it amusing. But that’s all i’m saying. You’ll find out sooner or later.

Chapter 4: Enter the Labyrinth

Under the combined strength of all eight of them, they managed to break though the two foot thick wall. As the stone crumbled, Kagome thought absently it must’ve been limestone, perhaps even marble. Hiei’s jagan flared to life, searching for anyone in the hallway no visible to them. There was no one and that made everyone suspicious. There was no way, that wall fell down without alerting someone.

“Who doesn’t have a weapon?”

Yusuke, Tomo, and Naraku.

“I suggest you all take one of the guards weapons for the time being. You will need it.” Kagome mumbled.

“You act as if you’ve done this before.”

“I have, I was free from here before, but I came back to fight in the tournament.”

“Why would you do that?”

“Sharan had what belonged to me.”

“What?”

“My son.”

Youko spoke cautiously on this subject.

“What happened?” Silvery-blue eyes darkened.

“He died.”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They had been walking for five minutes now. And not one guard, not one thing to hinder there progress. Something was up. Either the guards, and the rest of this Godforsaken world had gotten dumber and slack over the years, or they were being set up. Guess which one they were betting on. Kagome’s eyes narrowed before she dropped to the ground, the others being pulled down, unwillingly by her just as a piercing arrow flew through the air, followed in quick succession by 7 more. One thought ran through Kagome’s mind.

‘It’s like last time...’

Cautiously she stood while, keeping the others grounded, by sheer mental will. As the dagger came flying through the air, Kagome dodged, turning and catching it between her pointer and middle finger, before turning back just as quickly releasing the dagger back at her attacker. She remembered the first time, when she was here. She dropped to avoid the arrows, but as she stood she was hit by the dagger. Stung, not much pain, but it was enough of an annoyance, she was forced to treat the wound--it had been poisoned.

Motioning for them to stand up, she released them from the mental lock she’d put. Not even Hiei with his Jagan could stop her--she was out of his league. Little did he know, how strained her mind was holding all of them down, especially when they struggled. ‘Fools’ She thought, ‘Perhaps I should let them die, save myself the agony of watching over them, especially since they aren’t very good listeners. I would’ve rather gotten stuck with a bunch of dogs---at least there obedient.’

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sharan’s laugh was full of malice and sick amusement. Things were going to be even better this time around. There race had advanced over the last 1000 years, they were still however, quite primitive compared to a race such as Kagome’s, but---they had power, that would soon be put to good use.

‘They won’t know what hit them.’

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twitch.

Twitch.

“You stupid hybrid, you’ve gotten us lost!”

She snapped.

“Shut up!” Kagome snarled angrily at the startled hanyou otherwise known as Naraku.

“For one, he couldn’t have known it would lead to a dead end, he went where he traced the power signature too. And if I hear another insult of hybrid’s I’ll strangle you myself.” She hissed, displeasure evident.

“What’s a matter, don’t like me messing with your boyfriend.” Naraku sneered.

He was purposely trying to tempt her, wasn’t he?

Since he tempted her, he paid.

One minute Naraku was sneering in her face, the next she let temptation take over and sent him flying into the wall, or rather through the wall.

“What do you know, it wasn’t a dead end after all.” Kagome stalked angrily toward the now visible passageway, stepping on Naraku’s body as she walked through the lighted passage. She sensed no traps, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t any.

Cautiously she walked further down the passage, before her eyes widened and she turned, grabbing Naraku by the collar of his haori and pulling him through the hole in the wall. Seeing the others just standing there, she almost groaned.

Idiots.

“Move, you fools!” Turning, she concentrated hard on repairing the wall, before it came out. She heard the growl, seconds before it burst through the wall---

‘Shit.’

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“What the hell is that?!” Yusuke said, half in wonder, half in disgust.

“That is the Minotaur.”

“Wha?”

“I’ll explain to you later. Right now I suggest you run.” Kagome spoke quietly before flicking her wrist sending it back through the hole in the wall.

“Come on, you fools.” Kagome said, darting toward the opening, the others quickly following. They froze as they heard the pained yelp. Turning she hissed, counting only 7 including herself. Someone was left behind. Great, just great. Growling she pondered for a second, wondering if she should just leave him. Hearing the second louder scream she stalked back toward the passageway and winced.

That must’ve hurt.

Tomo was impaled on one of the Minotaur’s horns. That was most certainly going to leave a mark. She sent the Minotaur flying back away from the injured male. She caught Tomo before he could hit the ground and cradled him carefully before taking off toward the others. It wouldn’t be wise to stay and fight. They could not waste time, nor energy, besides she didn’t know how to beat the thing and highly doubted anyone else knew. The Minotaur was after all, supposed to be a myth. Using her powers combined with Nakago’s of Psychokinesis they patched the wall up, even while they were two corridors down.

They had been traveling, well---more like running for 10 minutes before Kagome abruptly stopped. They’d just entered the Labyrinth. Shit. Turning, she was about to go toward the entrance before the previously open gate slammed shut. Now they had no choice but to go forward. Which meant they would more than likely end up fighting against the Minotaur anyway. Considering at the end of the Labyrinth is where he was located. And that was the only way out. Damnit. She was lucky the last time, she didn’t have to go through the labyrinth, she wasn’t so lucky this time.

Snarling she angrily sat down, much to the confusion of the others.

“What are you doing?”

“He needs to be treated. Our chances of survival are greater, if we stick together and work together. If he dies, they go down, and I for one have no wish to die.” Kagome spoke calmly, previous anger forgotten. She didn’t have any herbs with her, she could do nothing to help him without herbs. Removing the male’s top she inspected the wound, it wasn’t infected yet, and thankfully didn’t penetrate through his entire midsection.

“Fox.”

The silver haired demon turned pained golden eyes toward her.

“Can you treat him?” A silvery-gray eyebrow cocked up.

“I do not have the ability to heal, as I once did. And there are no herbs in the immediate vicinity.” Kagome didn’t lie. Not really, she could still heal, just not as she once could. Right now she was to weak. When they captured her her energy was already depleted quite drastically, after all it had been the end of a war. Now she needed to rest to regain her drained power.

Youko, without a word, sat next to her and began to tend to the injured man, no emotion showing on his beautiful face. Silvery blue eyes from beneath a cloak of darkness closed in contemplation of what they would do...It couldn’t be that hard to solve the labyrinth...could it?

“I need bandages.” Glancing up into the golden eyes of the fox, she sighed before removing her cloak. She handed it to him, ignoring the way his eyes traced every curve of her body. She was used to it.

Damn, she always had to be the good guy didn’t she.

“Okay, there.” Glancing at the injured male she nodded her head in satisfaction, hopefully he would live long enough for them to find more suitable herbs and medicines. Or at the very least until her energy was replenished.

The deep violet of the sky turned so dark it was almost black, and completely star-less with three moons one at 10 o’clock, one at 12 o’clock and the last at 2 o’clock. Everyone had situated themselves in the pathway right before the first turn of the labyrinth. Glancing down at the shivering body of the injured male she sighed. She’d forgotten--what it was like, being mortal. She laid down next to him, daring anyone to say anything, they wisely stayed quiet. Carefully, she curled up flush against him, and allowed her body temperature to rise.

The shivering stopped.

Good.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three hours past, and he set his light blue eyes on Tomo and that---woman...He cocked a brow at the position they were in, Tomo had wrapped his arm around the petite woman, his face was buried in her hair, she must’ve smelt divine for him to be doing so. The woman herself was shifting uncomfortably before making a sound of annoyance and allowing Tomo’s hold on her person. It was obvious she was unused to such contact. Watching his---friend hold her made an ache form in his chest, and he didn’t know what it was.

But one predominant thought penetrated through the thoughts of the two, one reluctant cuddling not four feet away. One thought---

‘How will we survive?’

It was then the thought sank in for all of them, they had no food, no water, no means of survival, besides fighting, sure they could go without nourishment for a while, but not forever. They’d have to ask Kagome tomorrow. How she survived.

They needed answers.
