Chapter 3: Escape (Part 2)

“One more question.” Kagome’s eyebrow twitched.

Did this man never shut up?

“How did you turn that flame attack around.”

“I’m telekinetic. I can move anything with my mind.”

“Anything that can be created can be controlled.” Noticing his look she elaborated. “Fire is an element that is created, meaning it had a weakness and there is a key to controlling it. I have always been able to do things out of the mortal plane. I haven’t been mortal, for a very long time. Think about it detective, Fire is destroyed by water---at least, most of the time.”

“Oh.”

Kagome pleaded to whatever entity above who was listening to shut that man up. She knew he was probably trying to find out her weaknesses, how she worked. That fool of a man would never know. That man had a mouth on him that would put a woman to shame, a real chatterbox. She internally groaned. ‘Please. Not another question.’

“Can I challenge you?”

Kagome gave him a dry look.

“You aren’t a Forsaken. Besides, you are of mortal blood.”

“You have something against us pathetic mortals?” Yusuke sneered hearing her response.

“You mortals don’t stand a chance against me.” Kagome paused before beginning again. “Except perhaps, you.” Kagome said looking at Sesshoumaru.

“Why only him?”

“He possess the Tenseiga, making him, in a sense immortal, not truly immortal like myself, but he wields the sword of life, it would not allow for me to kill him. If we fought, in a true battle we would be fighting for an eternity. “

“What if I cut your head off?” Naraku said a malicious gleam in his eye.

“That is an unpleasant experience I have no desire to repeat. But I would heal, given a minute or so.” Kagome spoke without turning to him, examining the next door.

“It’s an illusion.” Both Kagome and Tomo looked up at the other surprised. It clicked in her mind that Sharan had introduced Tomo as an illusionist. He would be the one to aid her.

“Can you destroy it?” Kagome asked softly looking at him.

“Yes.”

Placing his hand just above the illusion, he began to use his own power to destroy the illusion. He began to sweat as more of his power poured out of him. Kagome glanced at each one of them in turn. Nakago stepped up, before placing his hand on Tomo’s left shoulder, letting his own energy flow into Tomo, powering Tomo’s energy.

It wasn’t enough. Kagome stepped forward, laying her hand on his shoulder, allowing him access to her own energy, giving him tremendous amounts of power, he shuddered. Never had he felt something so...exhiliarting. So much power. Nakago glanced at the woman out of the corner of his eye, she had her eyes narrowed concentrating fully on Tomo. He wondered, what she did, to be sent to the land of the lost in the first place.

“Curiosity--What did you do to be exiled to the Land of the Lost?” Nakago asked, his smooth, cool voice, causing her silvery-blue eyes to focus on him.

She grimaced.

“You don’t want to know.”

T here had been four more doors. Kurama destroyed the first one easily, it was made of plant life, and being a manipulator of plant, it was easy to say the least. A little to easy if you asked them. The second door was destroyed by two blasts of Yusuke’s spirit gun. The third door was destroyed by Hiei’s flames and the last door was destroyed by a blast of Miasma. Well. At least what the thought was the last door. There was one more door left, more of a wall actually.

Kagome stood in front of the last ‘door’, examining it with her mind’s eye. It was a barrier of strength. No magic, just pure, brute strength. She punched it. Nothing happened. Narrowing her eyes she let loose a flurry of punches, one after another, in quick succession. Kagome frowned. It cracked, ever so slightly. Pausing to think about when this has happened before she came up blank.

“You.” Kagome called to the torn, bitter man, who stood over his dead mate’s body. “Take your anger out on this door. “ Yusuke threw himself at her, hoping to hit her. She made no move to dodge. She stood there and took his right hook. What would’ve sent a normal person flying, with a broken jaw, possibly a broken neck, barely fazed her.

“You bitch, this is all your fault!”

She raised a brow, absently touching her chin.

“You know that almost hurt.” Kagome muttered.

“If it weren’t for you we wouldn’t be in this mess.”

“How is this my fault? I am not from this world, nor am I from yours.”

“You--you...he knew you...”

“And if you were listening you would understand, I competed in this tournament before. Last millennia. I won. Is it my fault for staying alive and taking the lives of other prisoners, who fought me, yes, but is it my fault you are here. No. How was I to know who he would choose and stop him before he could choose?”

“No one else from your world was chosen. But at least two from every one of our worlds...why?”

“Because my power, is all he needs to win. You are just for show.”

It was silent.

“Why didn’t you save her?” She could see the pain, the rage and the overwhelming abyss in his eyes. She knew he wanted to join his beloved in ‘death’.

“I could not.” Kagome said softly, knowing his pain. “You must live if you wish to see your mate again.”

“What?” Yusuke asked, his head whipping up so flash, Kagome was positive if he were human he would’ve gotten whiplash.

“Her life is bound to yours. If she’d truly died, you would have died with her. It’s a scare tactic. I have no doubt in my mind, he will play you until you have ceased to amuse him. Then he will kill her.” Kagome spoke her voice soft and firm.

“Why did you not tell us this?” Sesshoumaru asked.

“It only works, if you are mated to the maiden they ‘killed’, any other relation, I do not know if they are still alive. I know that girl, his girl is still alive.” Kagome said gesturing towards Yusuke.

“Is there any other way for them to be alive?” Kurama’s soft, cracking voice spoke, from nearby his raging friend. Glancing at them she answered them as honestly as she could.

“I don’t know.”
