Hey there everybody, long time no see. So anyways before I give this long awaited chapter I have a small little message:
I don't remember if I already gave Kagome's a name and I went through the chapters and from what I read I didn't see anything about her name so I have officially named her Cara meaning precious jewel, if I already gave her a name and I just forgot, but you were kind enough to remember please tell so can fix it before things get to confusing.
Love Bluemonkey
Okay, now the infamous disclaimer and then onto the story:
Disclaimer: I hearby decline owning anything that is Inuyasha. I do claim ownership, however to any original characters in this story and the story itself.
Kagome attempted to open her eyes, but sadly failed. They felt so heavy, but then again so did the rest of her body. She let out a small moan as her head began to burn with a sudden and intense pain. It was then that she became aware of where she was and from the feel of the cold stone flooring, it certainly was not Rin's room. She groaned in pain as she used all the strength she could muster to sit herself half up with her eyes still firmly closed.
Kagome forced her eyes open only to find everything to be one giant blur. She blinked several times to help clear her vision up. What she was able to see know immediately made her regret the effort she had put into opening her eyes.
It was pitch black; she could barely see the hard cold floor filled with ugly cracks that were overflowing with a foul smelling moss. She could hear from somewhere in the room, water dripping from the ceiling into a puddle, creating a steady beat of splashes. Suddenly she heard footsteps echoing throughout the room, footsteps that were quickly getting louder and closer. Panic began to fill her as she scrambled away from the sound as quietly as possible.
Then, from what seemed to be the middle of the room, a strange glow emitted from a source of light that went unseen by Kagome. What held her attention was a woman standing in light just a few feet away from where she lay, scrambled on the ground. A woman with dark hair that held a purple tint and eyes that shone as clear and blue as the oceans. What stunned Kagome the most though was not her dirtied white gown or her shinning gold cloak, nor the pair of glistening blue wings coming from her back. What captured her unyielding attention was the small blue symbol shaped like a star on the woman's forehead. The blue star was the symbol of a former chosen
Kagome's mouth fell open as stared at the woman she had long thought to be dead, the woman who gave life to her. Kagome couldn't say a single word as tears filled her eyes and her body began to shake.
"Kagome." The woman said softly. She too, was crying, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Her voice was barely audible
"Mother" Kagome began just as softly, but her voice slowly began to rise, "Why did you leave? What was so important that you had to pretend you were dead?"
Cara walked up to Kagome and kneeled beside her sprawled out body. She opened her mouth to answer when someone to their left let out a low groan. Looking over Kagome could see Rin's small body in the dim light. Concerned she crawled to her small frame, ignoring the throbbing pain in her head.
Just as she had pulled Rin's small head into her lap she felt something brush against her leg. She looked down and saw that it was the body of yet another person. Kagome squinted as she tried to figure out this person's identity. It was obviously a female from the silhouette of her body. She held Rin's limp body with one arm and used the other to brush the hair out of the woman's face.
"Sango!" she exclaimed.
Sango was still in her human form, but from what Kagome could see she looked deathly ill.
"What's going on?" Rin's voice came softly, "Why does Rin's head hurt so much?"
"I don't know Rin," Kagome replied gently to the child, "I don't even know where we are."
"Who are they?" Rin asked looking from Cara to the still unconscious form of Sango.
"This is my friend Sango and this…" she paused for a second, "this is my mother."
"You're Kagome's mother?" Rin questioned her eyes were wide. "Rin remembers you! You took care of Rin, you are the one who brought Rin to Lord Sesshomaru."
"What's all the yelling about?" Sango's voice came slowly and quietly, "Where am I?"
"Sango! You're alright, thank the gods." Kagome exclaimed relieved, then pain in her head was all but completely gone.
"Don't yell." Sango said, her voice was still quiet.
"I see you are all awake." a familiar voice came. All four heads turned towards the voice and apparently the door out.
"Naraku." Cara growled angrily
"No need to get upset, I am not here to see you. I'm here to pay a visit to my queen. How are you my Kagome?" he asked approaching the giant orb the four females were in."
"I am not yours and I am certainly not your queen."
"Why, Kagome dear, that's not what you said just a couple days ago I believe."
"You tricked me."
"No, I didn't trick you my love, I simply did not tell you what you didn't ask. No trickery and no lying involved."
"You leave Kagome alone." Rin yelled out bravely.
Naraku's eyes flashed towards her angrily, "You four will soon be joined by the last one and then all of you will be nothing but my slaves, I will you then Kagome, I will have all you." he flashed them an evil sadistic grin that made the four cringe in disgust. "The last is approaching quickly, soon dear Kagome, you will be mine." He turned and headed towards the door, he stopped at the side of doorway and pressed a button on a switch there. "I must be ready for my guests." he said before leaving the room
A bright light flashed on the second the doors slammed shut. All four inside the room shut their shielding them from the sudden light, brighter then any they had ever seen. Their screams suddenly echoed throughout the room.
"Is this it?" Kouga asked as strained his neck looking up at the tall castle hidden behind an equally tall wall surrounding it.
"What do you think wolf? Naraku's scent covers the castle," Sesshomaru said, both his face and voice void of any emotion as normal.
"Come on, we need to save Kagome and Rin, before he does something horrible to them both." Inucenaru pleaded with her brother and Kouga.
The two males nodded in agreement and the trio began to circle the castle looking for an entrance, after walking around what seemed to be several times, they finally found a way in: an open gate leading straight inside.
"This seems a little easy doesn't it?" Kouga commented as they walked in, all three of them felt uneasy although only two showed it.
He was answered with silence as they entered the castle. It was dark will with deep red curtains, grotesque gargoyles, and creepy paintings whose eyes seemed to follow you.
"Listen." Sesshomaru said quietly as he stopped dead in his tracks, the other two did likewise.
Running footsteps echoed down the hallway, they were quickly fading, "Let's go." Inucenaru said as the three followed the sound. It led them through many doors and down many hallways before they disappeared completely, leaving the trio in a long hallway with only one door at the very end. Sesshomaru and Kouga immediately made their way for the door
Inucenaru bit her lip as she hesitantly took her first step towards the door something wasn't right. A hand suddenly grasped her shoulder. Inucenaru let out a sharp cry of fear and shock. Sesshomaru and Kouga turned around quickly to aid their ally.
"Hey, you don't need to be so jumpy." the man behind Inucenaru said in a laughing voice.
Inucenaru pulled her arm away from him and turn to face the culprit only to find her brother staring her in the face.
"You guys didn't start the party without me right." he flashed one of his infamous grins.
"What are you doing here?" Inucenaru asked shocked
Flask Back
"Inuyasha." Kikyo said softly, "You did the right thing. The woman, whatever her name is, isn't worth your time. She doesn't deserve you now that I'm here." She continued lovingly as she stroked his face, "Who cares what happens to her now? She deserves death along with the other chosens."
Inuyasha's body stiffened as he slowly digested the word she just said, "What" was all he could get out due to this sudden shock.
Kikyo froze for a second realizing her mistake, "Nothing love, forget I ever said anything." She leaned towards him for a kiss only to be held back by Inuyasha clawed hands on her shoulders
"You planned all this." He said glaring down at the woman he once thought he loved. The woman who was hurting him for the second time, "You're going to kill them. You're going to hurt Kagome and Inucenaru."
Kikyo's mind raced for a way to fix her slip up but found nothing, her mistake had broken the spell her kiss had placed on him. She pushed herself away, "you heard me, but just so you know, it's not me who's going to do any killing it will be my mate, Naraku to take their lives one by one. Starting with your precious Kagome and then you're bratty little sister. It's sad that the last things you said and did to them weren't very nice. You're going to be the cause of their death, just so you know." Kikyo grinned and with a snap of her finger she was gone.
"Kagome! Inucenaru! Please be okay." Inuyasha called out to himself as he headed in the direction the group had left in earlier hoping their scents hadn't faded yet
End of Flash Back
"I'll tell you later." Inuyasha said quickly, "But you need to get out of her, it's a trap. Naraku is capturing all the chosens, you're the last one." he said franticly.
"But, Kagome…" Inucenaru started
"We'll get her back safely, but you need to get out of here."
"I love Kagome as a sister and I'm not going to leave here without her!" Inucenaru declared stubbornly
Inuyasha looked at his little sister in the eyes and saw that her determination and stubbornness was growing inside of her, finally he nodded, "We must hurry and save them before it's too late."
The other's nodded and they all ran to the door not knowing what waited for them on other side.
Kagome screamed as fear overcame her. She thrashing her body wildly hoping that whatever was holding would release her, but it didn't. What it was, it wasn't alive. It was some sort of machine that she had been hearing about from the villagers in her castle. Its cold metal snake like arm had wrapped itself around her waist and was pulling to the eastern side of the orb. Rin, she could see was opposite her and to the north was Sango and in the center, her mother. The orb that had once held them had vanished.
Hearing a strange whooshing sound coming from above her, Kagome looked up just in time to see a hollow glass cylinder coming down her. The snake-like machine released her seconds before the glass fell into place trapping her inside of it. Looking through the glass she could see that the others were going through the same thing except for her mother.
Cara was being held above the ground by chains that fell from the ceiling. The chains bound her wrists holding them directly above her head. Kagome's attention moved to one of the snaky thing making its way to her mother. It was holding something shiny. A necklace with a round pink jewel on the thin chain, it looked strangely similar to…Kagome's hand went up to her neck where the chain normally lay only to find it bare. She watched as the machine somehow put the over her mother's neck, the jewel glistened against her skin
Kagome began to pound on the glass praying that it break, the other two began to same task just as the large doors swung open once again. All eyes were on the newcomers.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin cried out pressing her hands against the glass, "Rin knew you would come for her"
"Kagome." Inuyasha ran over to where she was imprisoned, "you don't have to forgive, but I want to tell you that I'm sorry. I love you Kagome I really do."
Kagome's eyes softened as looked into Inuyasha's amber orbs and saw nothing but the truth and sincerity in them.
"Isn't that sweet." an all too familiar voice echoed through out the room, "I'm sorry to break up this whole reunion, but I have unfinished work." The snake like machines appeared again. This time they out attacking the three men fiercely. Kouga quickly found himself hanging several feet in the air, being held up by the machine. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were in similar positions. Their claws and swords had not even put a scratch on the shiny metal armor.
Inucenaru screamed as she too was grabbed and pulled towards the southern end of the room and just like the other three she too was quickly trapped inside a glass cylinder.
"Now wasn't that fun?" Naraku mocked as he walked out of the shadows in the corner.
"You called for us?" Kagura said coldly as she, Kanna and Kikyo entered the room.
"Yes, I wanted you here for when I call onto the darkness and take over this lonely little world." he paused, "But first." he snapped his arm towards Kikyo and another machine shot out from the walls and into Kikyo's gut.
"Why?" Kikyo mustered out
"Because now that I have these lovely women with me for the rest of eternity I no longer require your company."
Inuyasha let out a small growl as Kikyo's body slumped to the ground all life leaving her.
"Now, back to business." Naraku walked up to Cara and took the small pink jewel into his hand and at the same time pressed his body against her own. He began to mutter some words no one else in the room could understand.
Cara's body began to glow and she let out an ear piercing scream. Five lights shot out of her body, one blue, one red, one white, another green, and the last one purple. The blue light broke through the glass and hit Sango, the red one did the same for Inucenaru, the purple one hit Rin, and the green one went for Kagome. The white light split into four and a piece went into each girl.
The four began to scream and their bodies thrash on the ground in the glass, blood was quickly staining their clothing.
Naraku stepped away from Cara's now limp body and looked around in triumph.
It was Kagome first, her body lifted off the ground and she began to glow green. When the light faded the Kagome everyone knew was gone, in her place was a fairy with green feathery wings, hair that was a deep forest green and was decorated with pearls and ribbons and reached her toes. Her clothing had changed al well. She now wore a green tank that stopped right blow her breasts and a small skirt like bottom covered her in the front and in back revealing all of her thighs that was held in place by a beaded belt. Her body floated there in midair, her pointed toes skimming the ground and her eyes shut as if she were dreaming. Where her toes touched the ground small pink flowers bloomed
Then it was Inucenaru's turn. She was engulfed in a red light and when it finally faded. Her silver hair had streaks as red as flames in them, she had grown black bat like wings and her clothing had changed to a red top and long red skirt that looked like flames. The top covered her chest and that was it while the skirt in the front ended above her knees and in the back fell to her calves. She also wore red elbow length gloves and knee-high boots. A circle of flames spun around her body.
Sango was next. Her limp body glowed blue and when she was revealed to the world once again she not only had her blue mermaid tail back, but also a pair of ocean blue fairy like wings. Her hair had become a deep blue color and had intricate braid in it. She wore nothing but a long white scarf like cloth that fell so it covered what was important on her chest held in place by a small necklace made of red flowers. Her hair and the excess white cloth floated around her as she floated in water that came form no where and floated along with her
Finally Rin glowed purple. Her change was the greatest as everyone saw when the light faded. Her body had gone from that of a child to that of a young woman. She had golden hair that seemed to glow. She had a red ribbon in it. She wore a short purple dress with a sheer skirt over the solid purple one. Wind that seemed to only touch her blew her hair and skirt around.
"What happened?" Inuyasha voiced the question all three males were thinking as they stared at the four chosens.
"I have the Goddess under my control at long last." Naraku said triumphantly. Nothing could stop him now. He held the power of the elements and of the Gods since he was the master of these women. Surely with this power he would rule the world for all of eternity. Another part of the spell, he would live forever as long as the women were by his side.
The end of this chapter!
This was eight pages long and for me that is really, really long. I hope you guys liked it.
