The Passing Of Love Through Time (An InuYasha FanFiction)

Break For Escape Part 1

I’M BACK! And I have 3 or more chapters coming your way. I know I have been pulling these disappearing acts but please forgive me. I’m in high school. I can’t help it. So without further or do.

Chapter 21

“Finally!” Miroku exclaimed. Even though it was only a few hours, to the group it felt like days. They had finally made it to the foot of the mountain and were traveling up the path. When they first started traveling this morning they had a lot of energy, but as the journey continued they slowed down to a more moderate pace.

They were no more than a few miles up the path when Sango observed and shared aloud, “Everything that’s suppose to be alive that I’ve seen so far is dead.”

“You’re right Sango.” Miroku said as he took notice to it himself.

“Even the soil seems to have no life in it.” InuYasha said as the gang continued walking.

The soil beneath InuYasha’s bare feet was gray, dry, and has the texture of sand. Every tree and bush they had passed was dead or in the process of dying. They even saw a few skeletons of animals and demons.

Sango took notice to Kirara getting restless and noted the group about it, “Hey guys, Kirara’s getting anxious.”

“Yeah,” InuYasha started, “we’re so close now even I’m getting a bit twitchy. Boy when I get my claws on-huh?” Something flew by, as the wind grew stronger. Could that have been . . .? It must’ve.

More of them flew by, allowing the rest of the group to take notice to them. As they continued walking, more and more flew by as the wind picked up. Hundreds of white rose petals were swirling around them by now.

InuYasha stopped dead in his tracks as he looked up and stated, “We’re here.”

Up ahead was a large opening to a cave; on either side was a white rose bush with charcoal black branches. All the petals that were still blowing in their faces seemed to be coming from inside the cave.

“So what do we do now?” Sango asked.

“Ain’t it obvious? We go in, kill the bastard, get Kagome, and get out.” InuYasha said in a what-do-you-think tone of voice.

“What if it’s a trap?” The monk asked.

“So what if it’s a trap? This whole thing could’ve been a trap. But we can’t stop now! Not when we’re so close. We made it this far and I will not turn back until I have Kagome safely in my arms again.” InuYasha ranted. “Now let’s move!” He started walking but he didn’t hear footsteps behind him. “You guys coming or what?” Inuyasha yelled over his shoulder, but when he turned around, no one was there. “Guys? Miroku? Sango? Kirara~?” No one answered and the thick scent of roses blocked Inuyasha’s senses.

“Inuyasha~” An eerie voice called out to him, the voice coming from inside the cave. “Inuyasha~” It called again.

“Inuyasha!” A voice screamed out but it was not the eerie voice he heard before, but it was the voice of Kagome.

“Kagome~!” Inuyasha ran straight into the darkness of the cave, not even noticing the wall of thorny branches block his only way out.

. . .

How long had it been now? Kagome was still sitting in the small room. Eating the same food. She had lost track of time hours ago, she was about to go stir crazy. And being pregnant and moody didn’t help at all.

She decided to do the best she could and entertain herself. She grabbed the pillow off of the futon and held it close to her chest, as she lay face-up on the futon. After a few minutes she got bored again and started throwing the pillow up in the air only to catch it when it came back down. When she threw it once too high she was afraid it was going to hit the ceiling, but it didn’t. Instead the pillow went through the ceiling and out of sight for two seconds before it came back down for her to catch.

An illusion? Kagome stood up and threw the pillow again, the same thing happened. Kagome got an idea; she probably shouldn’t be doing this in the pregnant condition she’s in. But it’s Kagome with hormones, and she is not thinking logically much.

Kagome remembered seeing it in movies from her time, so it was time to prove Hollywood fact from fiction. Kagome stripped the sheets from the futon along with the blanket and tied them together with a loop at the end. She threw the loop up through the ceiling and off to the side then pulled down to try to get the loop to hook onto something.

After about 10m minutes she finally got it to hook onto something, and she started to climb. Thank goodness I was good at gym. But I hope doing this won’t hurt Oki (AN: Sorry I shortened her to a nickname. So Okurimono is now known as Oki. Keep reading!!) in any way. She finally made it past the fake ceiling and over the edge. She got up and looked around, she was still in the cave but the walls were covered in thorns unlike the small room.

She looked back from where she climbed out of; it was like looking into a fish tank. The top had a water-like appearance, and then the inside was the enclosure itself. So Rose has been watching over me this whole time? She did a 360 but didn’t see anyone. “Where is she?” She wondered out loud.

“Right here darling.” Came a voice from behind Kagome, she spun around and there was Rose. How’d she do that? I didn’t even sense her, let alone smell her. “How’d the animal get out of her cage?”

“Um . . . I-I . . .  uh-“ Kagome stammered. Wait, why am I making up excuses?! “Because I figured out your stupid little trick!”

“But not all of them.” Rose said calmly. Kagome’s hands were suddenly bound behind her back and Rose was trying to force something over her mouth and nose.

“NO!” Kagome struggled with all of her strength but it still didn’t seem like enough. Just when she thought it was hopeless, a relaxing scent washed through her as it overcame the scent of the roses. Inuyasha! Kagome struggled enough to get the cloth away from her mouth and nose in order to scream, “INUYASHA!” A sharp pain went through her head and everything around started becoming blurry. She could hear someone calling her in the distance, but before she could respond everything went black.

PM me or review and tell me how I did. Please tell me if I made any mistakes. Thanks to all of you guys who stuck with me even though these disappearances! Love ya!

Sincerely,
