Into the Depths of Night

 

Chapter Two

 

 

Kagome sighed softly as she starred at the door. She was waiting for something to happen. Anything. Nothing came. She stood up slowly and started to walk towards the balcony door. As she opened the door, a rush of cool crisp autumn wind met her. She smiled as she walked out into the evening sun. She was happy that nothing strange happen through out the day. She was almost expecting something to jump out and bit her when she roamed the hallways. Since the past night's events she had been skittish and unsure what to expect next. `I've never been like this before…but…what happen last night…that was…' she was snapped out of thoughts when she saw the horizon in front of her eyes. She looked out at the beautiful horizon. As the sun set, it gave the enormous back yard a glowing shimmer.. The garden seemed to shimmer in the sun light, it radiated with beauty.

 

Kagome leaned against the edge watching the sun set. She was lost in her thoughts and before she knew it, it was dark outside and the moon started to rise. As she gazed down at the garden, the sight took her breath away. She had thought that the garden had looked amazing in the sun light, but in the moon light, the sight before her eyes was incomparable. She was in wonder how the same objects could have two totally different views. In the moon light, it had an edger look. It had the sense of mystery to it, an aura of darkness that eliminated off of the faint, pale light. Something was calling out to her. She slowly closed her eyes, searching for the source of the strange and new sensation. Deep chocolate eyes snapped open and regained their focus on a tiny clearing towards the center of the garden. She leaned closer over the edge trying to get a better glimpse at what was beckoning her. She never noticed the presents of someone walking up behind.

 

Golden eyes carefully watcher her. A frown washed over the face as he continued to walk towards her. “I see that you are enjoying my house human…” came a deep, cold voice from behind her.

 

Kagome nearly lost her balanced and fell over the edge of the dark stone balcony, but quickly regained her composure. She turned around expecting to see the young man from the night before, but was very surprised when she came face to face with a different man that looked almost exactly like the one that had kidnapped her. She had realized she was staring at him. There was something…about the way he looked that had captivated her. She couldn't figure out what it was about him that told her that he was more dangerous than the previous man. She blinked a few times before coming to her senses and took a cautious step backwards.

 

“Did my brother bring a mute human into our home?” the man spat out in disgust. Kagome tried to open her mouth to say something, but she couldn't get her mind off the intense gaze from his piercing golden eyes. The man's face expressions changed and she took another step backward, pressing her body against the stone railing.

 

“I can speak thank you…” she said softly.

 

“Could have fooled me…” the man said slowly as he narrowed his gaze, “but, I am surprised that my brother even brought you here…” he turned starting to walk away. “Consider yourself lucky so far human, perhaps you won't be so lucky next time…” and with that he disappeared before her eyes. She was frozen in that spot not sure what just happen.

 

`Did he just threaten me?' she asked herself. `How dare that guy!' she said furiously. She leaned back against the railing on her elbows and gazed at the door that leads back into the room she was left in.

 

`Riiight now you get courage when he has left…'

 

`Who asked you?'

 

`I don't need to be asked before I give my opinion remember?' the voice chimed.

 

Kagome sighed as she slowly started to walk back towards her room. She looked up at the dark sky, wondering just how the man disappeared. As she opened the door she glanced over her shoulder at the garden again. The strange feeling that called out to had dissipated. She turned into the house rubbing her temples softly. “Just who was that…” she whispered. A mental picture of his cold, emotionless eyes burned into her mind. She couldn't shake the feeling that she should avoid that man like he had the black plague.

 

As she walked around the room heading towards the bathroom, she heard a knock on the door. She froze scared for a split second. But, sighed when she realized that the man she just met wouldn't bother knocking on her door, neither the younger man who was as close to a stranger as the new guy. A sigh a relief exited almost silently as she saw the maid Kaede standing in the hallway with an enormous box.

 

“Nice to see you Lady Kagome,” she said bowing her head slightly. Kagome blushed slightly and was about to say something but stopped when she continued. “The masters wish to have you down for dinner, and I was instructed that you would have to be dressed for the occasion.” Kagome thought about it carefully and opened the door wider for the small old maid to walk into the room.

 

“Is that what I am to wear then?” she asked softly glancing at the large cream colored box. Kaede nodded her head slowly, trying to hide a smile as she started to open the box.

 

`Well, looks like they are living in the 1800's if they expect us to wear that…' the voice said.

 

`I like it…' she responded.

 

`You know that color looks alike like….'

 

`Shut up, don't you dare finish those words…' Kagome mentally blocked out the voice. She stared at the dress as Kaede pulled it out. It was in fact an old fashioned French 1800's style gown. “Are you sure that will fit me?” she asked carefully thinking it looked a little too small for her.

 

“It will fit you perfectly,” Kaede stated with out even taking a glance at the young woman. Kagome bit her lip worried about seeing both of them at the same time. She shook her head trying to think that she was in some sort of bad dream.

 

“Maybe I should leave…my family must be really worried about me…” she said slowly started to walk towards the door as panic started to settle in. The old maid quickly went and stood in front of the door.

 

“That would be unwise Lady Kagome,” she said in a stern voice.

 

“Am I unable to return home…?” Kagome asked slowly. Yes, she already knew the answer. What she saw last night was something that would never go away. Kaede did not answer her but merely looked at the ground. “Well…what if I said I did not wish to dine with them?” she asked.

 

“You can not say no to them. They are the masters of this house and land….and…well I have said to much now. Come on child, let us get you all ready for dinner.” She took Kagome by the hand and pulled her towards the bathroom.

 

 

xXXxxXXx

 

 

She walked carefully down the stairs in the huge dress that the two men had made her wear to dinner. She was afraid that she was going to fall straight onto her face as she walked down the stairs. `Just make sure you don't fall…that would be quite embarrassing…' the voice laughed.

 

 

Kagome's gaze narrowed slightly as she reached the bottom of the stairs finally. `This dress is impossible….'

 

`It does fit us well though…brings out certain….area's….' the voice said slowly. Kagome rolled her eyes as she continued to make her way into the dinning room. As she neared the dinning room, she was stopped by two men standing outside the doors. “Am I not to go in?” she asked. The men simply starred at her before nodding their heads and opening the doors for her. She smiled at them as she walked by and gazed into the room. She wasn't surprised to see the dinning room decorated in the same manner as the rest of the huge house she was being held captive in. As she walked forward her eyes were focused on the ceiling of the dinning room that caught her attention. She had in fact, not even noticed the two men standing, and ceasing their talking as she walked in, at the end of the room. She was captivated by the art work that covered the entire ceiling. She had never seen such a sight. `This place will never get boring, will it?' the voice asked in an amused tone. Kagome choose to ignore the comment.

 

“I am quite surprised that you decided to show yourself…” came a voice that broke her trance. She stopped where she was and blinked at few times at the two men. Seeing them standing together made her heart completing stop. It was not by the fact that she found them both extremely handsome with features that she had never laid eyes on before. No, it was from the fact that the aura's that were radiating off of their bodies told her that they were very dangerous and her instincts told her to run and not look back. She bowed her head slightly, decided it wouldn't be wise to be cross with the older man.

 

“I could not refuse such an offer…” she said softly but with a hint of disgust in her voice.. The younger man eyed the one standing next to him. The girl that he had brought to the house less than 24 hours had changed her personality completely. He had no doubt in his mind that his brother had something to do with this. He turned to his brother with a cold glare that was only returned with the piercing look that defeated his.

 

“We have things that we must discuss about the happenings that you witnessed last night…” the younger man said turning to her slowly. She stood still seeing the look on the older man's face. The younger man did not miss this and gave his brother another death glare. “This is my older brother, whom I am guessing you have already met…” he started.

 

“Yes…we have met you could say…” Kagome said carefully.

 

“Then you have no need to be frightened of him. He will not harm you, he is just a stuck up ass that likes to play mind games…” the younger brother said slowly. If looks could kill, the younger brother would have been down on the ground three times already. But, the older brother did not say a word.

 

“Why am I unable to leave….? My family will be looking for me by now…” she was about to demand that they let her go but was interrupted by the older brother.

 

“You will not leave our presence unless you wish to be tortured or dead,” he spat out coldly. “Stupid human, you have gotten us all into a huge mess.”

 

Kagome blinked. “Me gotten you into a huge mess? And what mess should that be? Last I remember is that this…this…boy was the one who had gotten into a mess, not me! I am going to say this clear, I did nothing wrong!” she said angrily. She regretted her words almost immediately. The younger brother watched this girl stand up for herself. But, yet the feeling he was just feeling washed away. `Stupid move girl…' came the voice laughing.

 

He watched as his bother quickly moved in the blink of an eye in front of the younger girl, grabbing her around the neck tightly. His eyes turning a slight red tint. “Don't you dare speak back to me you…” he suddenly stopped talking, eyes growing wide in shock. He pulled back quickly hissing in pain and looked upon his arms. His flesh had been burnt away, blood seeping out from the appearance of the fatal wounds.

 

Kagome collapsed to the ground exhausted. She had acted on instinct only, she had no idea what just had happened. She laid on the ground trying to recuperate her strength but it was failing. She saw the older brother walk over to her and pick her up, glaring angrily at her. Then…it went black again.

 

 

 

xXXxxXXx

 

 

`You should really stop doing this to yourself…' came a voice into the darkness. Kagome slowly opened her eyes, to see the all too familier pitch black room before her eyes. She let out a soft sigh.

 

`I can't stop doing this and you know this. My body just reacts when it thinks it needs to shelter itself. And, it did. And I panicked. I…I didn't know what else to do…” she went silent for a moment. `What was that…?'

 

The voice laughed softly. `You know every well what that was. You just don't to admit it. Our father told us all about it didn't he? Right before he…'

 

`DON'T say it…' Kagome screamed into the darkness. They both went silent once again.

 

`You do realize what is going on right…?' the voice asked slowly.

 

Kagome didn't respond. She knew. She hated it, but she knew. She would never return home, or to her normal life again. These, demons will not let her go.

 

`Maybe we should wake up now, and see what they have to say to us, hmm? It can't be so bad right?'

 

`They will just asked questions….'

 

`Yes, but we don't have the answers ourselves now do we?' Kagome didn't respond again. She laid back down onto the cold cement floor and slowly closed her eyes taking a long deep breath.

 

 

xXXxxXXx

 

 

Kagome slowly opened her eyes. She held her breath expecting to be in pain, but nothing came. She quickly looked around to find herself back into her room. She froze when she felt a presence in the corner of the room.

 

“Care to explain to me now what the hell you just did, and why it keeps happening?” came the cold voice.

 

“I can't tell you what I don't know…” she said softly, not turning to look at him.

 

“Tell me what you do know then,” he said not moving from his spot.

 

“I'm not sure how I do it. My body, or my spirit reacts, and my mind or soul if you want to call it that, is locked away in my mind,” she whispered. Though she was sure that he heard her.

 

“You can lock yourself way into your mind? I was right when I though of that then…” he asked making sure he heard her right.

 

“I can't tell you where I learned it, because I was never taught. It just…comes…and what I did to your brother….” She started to say softly.

 

“Have you ever heard of miko powers Kagome…?” the young man started to say. Kagome winced, feeling a stab in her side.

 

“It comes to see that you know my name, but I don't not know yours…” she said slowly.

 

“You have no use for my name, now answer the question human….” He said dangerously.

 

“If you wish for me to talk to you, you will have to give me a name that I can call you, besides master…” she said stubbornly. Inuyasha staired at her for a few moments.

 

`Stubborn little bitch…' he growled.

 

`I sort of li…'

 

`Don't you dare finish that…' he growled at the voice.

 

“My name is Inuyasha…” he growled out.
