Chapter 27: The Power of Kagome.

This chapter is rated R. Intense violence, language, and attempted rape. You are warned.

{telepathy}

*orcish*, a language which Kagome & Sesshomaru don't know.

As a reminder: At the end of ch 24, the following exchanged occurred:

"Sesshomaru? Do you feel it, the power?" Kagome asks.

"Yes. Like my power has been increased."

"We must be on a world where magic is easier to use, I think." Kagome speculates.

So, remember, Kagome's and Sesshomaru's power levels are greater than normal on middle earth.

In the dungeons beneath the tower of Tol-in-Gaurhoth . . .

Kagome is unconscious and laying on a dirty stone floor. Dirt, pieces of clothes, old dry bones,
feces, and other types of trash are all over the floor. The room she is in is ten meters by ten
meters, and three meters high. There are no windows and only one door. Torches along the walls
are the sources of light in the room. The shadows, from the thin light of the torches, make it a
very frightening place.

She is still dressed in her school clothes. They are, even in this mess of a room, still clean.
(Remember the spirit of the clothes is awake, and is keeping her clothes clean and intact.) There
are bruises visible on her legs and arms, the orcs have not been gentle as they dragged her
around . .

Around her are about twenty to thirty orcs. Most still possess their weapons and they are wearing
bits and pieces of armor.

They are arguing.

*Why are we waiting?!*" an orc yells.

"*Let's fuck her now!*" another yells.

The largest orc, the captain whose name is Azog, snarls, "*No! We wait until she's awake. I love
it when the girls yell. I want her to beg me to stop.*" He grins, showing his fangs, "*So, I can
fuck her again.*"
The first orc, whose name is Gorbag, snarls back, "*Ok, boss. Can I, at least, rip off the whores
clothes? They have to be elfish. They are so clean. I want to wipe my butt with them.*"

"*Yeah. That might wake her up, also.*" Azog smiles.

Gorbag begins to try to rip the clothes off Kagome. He is having trouble. Her uniform isn't
ripping. Some of the orcs in the room are beginning to make fun of his lack of strength.

Other orcs are beginning to remove their pants so, as soon she wakes up, they can begin the gang
rape . . .

The spirit of her clothes thinks, 'They are going to rape her, why else are they undressing? I can
try to stop myself from being torn, or I can use my powers to wake her up, so she can defend
herself, even if that will drain my powers, totally. She is my mistress . . . '

Kagome's eyes snap open. The ugly face of Gorbag is only inches from her nose.

She screams in fright!

Gorbag rips Kagome's top off. He leers down at her.

"*NOW!*" Azog yells "*We rape her! I'm first!*"

He shoves Gorbag away. He drops his pants, his organ erect.

He jumps on Kagome, ripping her skirt off, and spreading her legs. His face bends down against
hers, his green slimy tongue running over her check, as she turns her head.

"NEVER!" Kagome yells in anger. 'I am not going to be raped!' she thinks in a panic

She summons her powers . . .

Her eyes glow white.

Her body glows white.

A wave of power escapes her body. The interior of room glows blindingly white.

The room and the tower shake . .

The light fades . . .

Kagome is alone in the room. There are twenty to thirty puddles of greenish black goo on the
floor, instead of orcs. Their weapons and armor clatter as they fall to the ground. Azog's remains
were vaporized, so Kagome is basically still clean.

She blinks and swallows. "I forgot, when I just arrived on this world, I thought my powers would
be enhanced. But . . . I never expected that. I just wanted to throw him off." she whispers.

She closes her eyes and thinks, 'When I find Sesshomaru, I've got to apologize to him. I knew
these monsters were evil when they appeared. But, I have made so many speeches about peace
and not killing, that . . my pride just won't let me admit that these were evil and we needed to fly
away, or to attack them.' She sighs, 'Even if he wants me to grovel before him, I'll do it. I made a
mistake and we got captured, due to me.'

She sits up. "Gods, my head aches, and my body. What did they do to me?" She quickly
examines her body. She's only wearing her bra and panties. Her arms and legs are bruised and
her back feels like she's been dragged across glass. But, no blood shows when she rubs her back,
it's just very painful.

'Do I heal? No. I might need the power later.' She quickly considers and rejects that use of power.

She stands up, holding her back. "I've got to get dressed and get out of here. There were
hundreds of these monsters last night." She looks around, and gags at the stench in the room,
"And I've been in enough dungeons to recognize another. This one is a particularly nasty one at
that. There will be more guards. That burst of power had to be noticed and I've got to be prepared."

She grimaces, her shirt is covered in the slime that was Gorbag. Her skirt, though ripped, is still
clean, Azog still had it in his hand when he vaporized. She grabs the skirt and tries to
communicate with the spirit in her clothes.

{I'll give you the power you need to fix yourself.} She thinks

Nothing.

{Spirit?}

Nothing .

'Something woke me up. The spirit must have done it and then . . I think it's dead.' She bites her
lips. 'I never wanted that to happen.'

She wraps her skirt around her waist and ties it together. 'It's not going to hold long, but, it's
better than nothing.' She looks around, but every useable piece of cloth in the room is covered in slime.

She picks up her shirt, concentrates and tries to purify the shirt. But, due to her increased power
levels . . . she vaporizes her shirt. She licks her lips. 'Great . . I've been with Inu-yasha how long?
And I've always had a shirt and skirt. I'm with Sesshomaru and in less than two weeks, I'm
reduced to a bra, a panty and a ripped skirt.'

She shakes her head, "Is there some god wanting me nude?" she asks the walls.

The walls do not answer.
"I'm going to need weapons." She looks at the door. "And, if there is one thing that I've learned
while watching Inu-yasha fight: Attack, do not give your opponents time to recover. As soon as
that door opens, I want to be ready."

She finds a sword that she can wield. She directs her attention on the spirit of the sword. She can
feel its love of destruction. She directs her purifying power against the sword.

The evil spirit in the sword screams as it dies.

The sword begins to glow white. Kagome smiles, "It's lifeless, but I can use it to direct my
power. The practice with Jaa Kalpa is coming in handy."

She finds a bow and about a dozen useable arrows.

She smiles, a smile that would be at home on Inu-yasha's mouth . . .

The door smashes open and orcs fill the doorway.

The orcs stand, dumbfounded, in the doorway, trying to figure out what happened . . . there
should be a gang rape going on, instead there is one human female in the room . . .

Kagome raises her new bow and she fires.

The orcs in the doorway vanish in the purification wave . . .

When the arrow hits the wall, down a long narrow fifty meter corridor, a house sized section of
the wall explodes.

The tower shakes . .

Kagome grins. "I've got to watch myself. I don't want to bring down this building. At least not
yet. Now to find Sesshomaru and get out of here."

She leaves the room and enters the corridor. The floor of the corridor is populated with slime-
covered weapons and armor. 'At least, I've still got my shoes. I'm going to hate cleaning them
after wading through that mess, but . . . ' she complains to herself.

Lining each side of the corridor are cell doors. 'I'm in a dungeon, like I thought.' As she walks
past one, the prisoner shakes the door, obviously wanting out, although Kagome cannot
understand the language he is using.

"I might need help, and there is no way that I'm going to leave them here." She decides and as
she walks down the corridor she swings her sword at the lock holding the doors shut. Her sword
slices through the locks like a hot knife through butter.

The captives joyfully gather around her. Through gestures and some luck, they understand that
she wants them to gather the orcs weapons and follow her. She'll lead them to safety.
One of the captives, an elf, gives her the shirt off his back, so, even if it is long and somewhat
dirty, she does have something to cover herself. She bows her thanks to him.

'Hurry! They'll regroup and attack!' Kagome thinks as she tries to get the couple of hundred
captives organized and ready. It does take longer than she'd like, some of the prisoners need help
from the injuries of their torture.

And while they are organizing . . a scream occurs at the far end of the corridor.

A group of half-a-dozen werewolves burst from a hidden stairway. They are attacking and
killing the freed prisoners.

Kagome raises her bow and fires. 'Please, gods, let this work, and don't let it destroy that
stairway, we need it to escape . . . '

The blinding purification wave hits the werewolves . .

When it fades, there are half-a-dozen black-haired puppies on the floor . .

The stairway, for the first time in more than one hundred years, is spotlessly clean . .

Kagome smiles, 'I've always liked dogs, so, why not turn them into puppies?'

She frowns. There are a couple of puddles of goo where some of the prisoners were. 'It shouldn't
have hurt them. Aren't they good people being tortured by evil monsters?'

Through pantomime and gestures a couple of the captive indicate to her that some of the
prisoners weren't nice people and some of them were traitors placed in the dungeons to gather
information and spread dissent. 'Ok. So . . . I wonder how many of these are bad people?' she
thinks as she looks at the gathered prisoners. 'No time. We've got to get up those stairs and go
out here, then we'll figure out who's who.'

Kagome leads the prisoners up the stairs. As they pass, at Kagome's request, the prisoners pick
up the puppies and take them with them.

At the top of the stairs, some instinct warns Kagome and she activities her shield spell. 'Shield!'
she thinks as something jumps on her back, driving her into the stone floor. Spots appear in her
eyes from the force of the attack and her chin and jawbones are rubbed raw as they scrape along
the floor. Her sword goes skittering of into the distance, knocked out of her grasp by the blow.

A stinger tries to punch through her shield, but like the Tyrannosaur Rex from a few days ago, it
slides off her spell and embeds itself in the stone floor.

Kagome twists around so she is laying on her back. She stares up into a nightmare.

She is staring into the face of a gigantic spider. Some of its eyes are the size of a fist. Its fangs
are big enough to make great meat cleavers. The body looks like a tarantula spider, but is at least
three meters long and wide. It is solid midnight black in color and it seems to absorb the light,
only the eyes glitter and reflect the light back.

Its stinger is trying to stab Kagome's stomach.

Its fangs jab down at Kagome's face.

Time freezes . . .

Kagome knows that if she panics, her concentration will shatter and her shield spell will collapse.

And, as her friends know, Kagome is afraid of bugs and spiders, and she sometimes does panic
from them . . . the boys in elementary school used to tease her with bugs, until she finally lost
control and got mad. One boy had three fingers broken and the other received a broken nose and
lost four teeth . . . that stopped the teasing, (but not her fear of bugs), especially as she wore her
two black eyes proudly to school the next day.

So . . . Kagome panicking from seeing a spider up close is possible . . .

However . . . She's also been fighting monsters with Inu-yasha and she has fought spider-like
monsters before .

So . . .

Kagome reaches out and grabs the fangs, she grunts at the effort to stop them, but stop them she
does. The poison from the fangs drips on her checks, she can feel the heat from the poison as it
slides down the side of her face.

"Ok, you monster. Let's see how you like this!" she yells as she forces her purification power
into her hands and tries to purify the spider . .

But, this is a daughter of the Ungolaint. Her mother, in the age before the first age of middle
earth, absorbed and destroyed the Two Trees of Valinor, (the sun and the moon were made out
the last, smallest, bit of power from these trees), which produced the purest light ever seen on
middle earth, So . .

The giant spider glows black as it absorbs Kagome's power.

Waves of fear, loathing, disgust and other negative emotions flow off the spider as it turns
Kagome's purity into evil . . .

The prisoners, who were working up the courage to help Kagome, run back down the stairway in
a panic, leaving her alone against the daughter of the Ungolaint. (One of her sisters is Shelob, by
the way.)

'Great!' Kagome almost, in reaction to the spiders power, panics, but . . . 'Let's try this then.'
She releases the spider's fangs. They embed themselves into the stone on either side of Kagome's
neck. Kagome straightens her fingers, and like a blunt dagger she thrusts her hand into the fist-
sized spider-eye only inches from her eyes.

Her hand punches through the soft tissue of the spider's eye. The spider rears up, trying to shake
Kagome, but Kagome's other arm wraps itself around the spider's head, holding on to it.

Kagome's hand smashes through the thin plate between the eye and the spiders brain. She
reaches in, grabs part of that brain and pulls it out . . .

The spider collapses back onto the stone floor and on top of Kagome. The impact knocks the
breath out her and causes black spots to appear in the eyes from the blow to the back of her head.

"Let's see you stop this, now!" she hisses and releases her purification power.

The spider is transformed into a pile of black goo. It splatters everywhere, including all over Kagome.

Kagome turns her head and dry heaves from the stench.

'Got to get out of here . . . ' is her thought as she struggles to her feet.

A human prisoner and an Elvin prisoner come up the stairs. They see the black puddle of goo
and leaning against one wall, trying to stand, is Kagome, covered head to foot in bloody black goo.

"I'm . . . badly hurt. I've got heal." Kagome mumbles and she slides down the wall that she was
leaning against.

She brushes off the efforts of the two prisoners to aid her and concentrates. Her power flows
easily and quickly.

She glows . . .

The room glows and the black goo vanish . . .

She shakes her head. "Good. I feel better. Now to escape." she says. Her powers did clean her up
as they healed her. She gathers up the sword, bow and arrows that scattered when the spider attacked.

The room at the top of the stairs, the same room she killed the spider in, has three exits.

She starts to go to the right-hand side exit, but the prisoners keep pointing to the left-hand side
exit. 'Well, they've got to know this place better that I do.' She follows their lead and begins to
travel down the left-hand corridor.

Kagome does encounter and kill the occasional orc, but the corridor is basically free of danger as
she leads the prisoners. 'Ok. This is strange. If I was Inu-yasha, I would be sure that right now
that we'd are heading into a trap.' She readies her bow and arrow. 'So, let's spring it and attack.
Yes, that's just what he'd say.'

The corridor ends in at a huge doorway. The doorway is carved with scenes from a torture
manual. The doors are far too large to open easily.

Kagome waves the male prisoners, who were attempting to open the doors, aside.

She draws her bow and fires . .

The Tower shakes . . .

The doors are blasted open. And now that they are open, Kagome can see the trap.

The room on the other side of the doors is huge, at least one hundred meters by one hundred
meters, with a twenty-meter ceiling. There are some columns in the room, holding up the roof
and the building.

On the other side of the doors is a horde of orcs, all armed and waiting to kill everyone . . .

Kagome places another one of Inu-yasha's smiles on her face and she begins to fire arrows into
the horde of orcs . . .

Blinding streaks of light cross the room . .

The sound of thunder echoes through the tower . . .

The tower shakes and shakes . . .

Dust, dirt, and the occasional basketball to beach ball sized giant spider fall from the rafters
behind Kagome. The armed prisoners quickly kill the spiders, and everyone else huddles
together in fear.

Their fear . . . 'Will the tower still stand after her attacks?'

They can feel and hear some of the underground parts of the dungeons collapse.

Kagome empties her quiver into the room with the horde of orcs in it. The light fades . . .

The floor of the room is covered in greenish goo. Not one orc is standing, or even visible.

The walls on the far side of the room have a dozen large holes punched in them. Some of the
columns in the room are also gone. Through the holes, daylight and dirt can be seen. Kagome's
arrows have punched holes to the outside. Tens of meters thick stone walls have vanished under
Kagome's attack.

"Good. They can leave through them." She waves the prisoners to leave through the openings.
Some of the men try to stay with her to help her, but she waves them away, ordering them, via
gestures to leave.

Kagome concentrates. "Now, where is Sesshomaru? Where are the shards?"

She looks up. "Higher up in the building." She frowns. "I can sense the shards, easily enough,
they sing out to me. But Sesshomaru . . . he's hidden somehow. Well . . . If I have to open up
every door in this place, I will."

She scans the room and the ceiling of the room. Cracks are beginning to form. 'I must have
destroyed too many of the columns.' She pauses. 'I've got a time limit as well, before this
building collapses. But, I think I've got time, those cracks aren't spreading all that fast.'

Kagome's eyes locate the stairway up, the same one the orcs were using so it's slime covered,
and begins her ascent of the tower.

As she crosses the room, she gathers up more arrows . . .

Kagome's assault on the tower of Tol-in-Gaurhoth begins in earnest . . .

DOOM . .

Had a couple of reviewers ask so . . my posting schedule: I try to post on Tuesday, Thursday,
and Sunday each week.

For your interest: the orc in ch 26 was standing just outside the room when Kagome first used
her powers. He survived and ran to Sauron for orders, like a good orc.

For your interest: why in the tower on the isle of werewolves, does Kagome only meet 6? Sess is
occupying them . . . (how will be explained in ch 28)

preview chapter 28 . . .

'He cheated . . . I was winning . . . ' is Kagome's last thought as she falls unconscious.

.....

Sauron takes a deep breath in relief, 'What is she? Only the Elvin princess's Luthien and
Galadriel are close to her in power. And she's human?'

.....

"Take her to my room." he orders the orcs that are peaking around the corner.

'I'm going to rape her mind and find out exactly who and what she is.' Sauron decides . . .
