Naraku Castle Pt 2

" Auntie is really dangerous! If I stayed there for another second, I would have perished in her lovely hands. I must report to the others." The boy stood on a branch and looked down at the two opponents. He was sure that he could not take both of them at the same time.

On the orb, it showed two half-demons running directly into the castle blindly.

[ What in the world does Naraku want with her? What is her connection in all this?]

" Master Kikyo! Where are you? Say something, please. Um, are you alive at last? W-well, I mean not dead but dead." She shouted at the top of her lungs in the dark hallway with only a few candles lit. Her voice echoed twice which sent a chill down her spine.

This was the person that knew about her real papers and could be the key to unlocking her memories. She lowered her eyes at her hands and bawled up her fist firmly.

[ I remember bit and pieces for the fight with that boy. I transformed, didn't I? What if InuYasha hadn't come when he did? I would have probably killed people and a lot of them. I really need that necklace; I fear that I cannot control myself at all. Yet, I'm in the enemy base. Is this such a great idea? Will I be able to regain my consciousness if I went berserk again? For some reason, I have a very bad feeling.]

Loud and heavy footsteps continued for quite some time.

[ It feels like we have been walking forever!]

[ If Kagome was here, it would be much faster! Her eyes…. Only if I could sense the jewel sacred too, then I would be helpful.]

An arrow came from the dark corner of the hallway and was flying fast toward her. She slightly moved her head, and the point of the arrow was very sharp; it cut her cheek and then pinned her against the tree. She stepped back alerted and touched the wet surface on her face. She was shocked by the amount of blood on the tip of her fingers.

It was a special grade of poison that was used to paralyze demons.

Usually, a powder like this is easy to pick up on but it is invisible to demons.

After searching for almost an hour opening multiple doors in the castle and finding many empty rooms, one of them found a latch to a basement.

" Mhm, it looks like they arrived." His voice vanished into the shadow with his scent altogether.

The priestess was in such a weak state that her thoughts could barely function.

[KIKYO]

InuYasha quickly cut down the chains that kept her shackled as he caught the woman in his arms and held her lovingly. There was an expression that has never been shown before.

[ Master Kikyo and InuYasha have something special that cannot be mended or broken. I do not understand this bitter taste on my tongue, I starting to understand why Kagome is always jealous at the sight of them]

Kotori's footsteps wandered around the underground room looking for some sort of clues then came to realize something.

[ I do not think he is here anymore. Why does it seem like he is always running away unless I am alone with him? Am I the key to --]

She spotted a short pillar and on the top was a pillow with a completed jewel sacred. It was like a miracle and the moment that she longed for. To become human, nothing else mattered. It was like everything flew out the window.

There was a strong pressure of wind at blew her hair up as she reached her hand towards it, and the jewel was purified with just the single touch of her nail.

But there was nothing that could prepare her for what happened next. Out of nowhere, the jewel infused itself into her chest. It was like there was a pair of hands around her heart and had a tight squeeze ahold of it. She was faced with confusion.

[ What just happened?]

The building slowly dissolved until it was just dirt.

" Hey! Are you guys alright?" A familiar voice shouted. The demon slayer rushed towards them worriedly as she watched the particle float into the air as the castle melted away.

" Dammit! Naraku escaped again."

The large saber-toothed cat landed on the ground near a hut. She walked inside with her overpacked, heavy yellow backpack.

" Kagome!" The young fox demon jumped in her arms.

" What happened here? Where are the others?" She questioned.

After a while, the others headed toward the mountains.

Kotori stood up and was attacked by a surprised embrace from her companion. It was a new form of kindness, but at the same time a hint of a heartache for some odd reason.

"Shippo and Miroku told me. I was so worried about you!"
