Chapter 10: Kagome, the Avatar of Ishtar Part I

Walking up to the altar where ‘Ishtar’ laid, the cloaked servant of the Queen stared down at her from beneath his hood. He had to admit that she was in fact beautiful, and from what he had seen she is nothing like any other woman he had seen. Picking her up gently, he also pulled the clear silk sheet along with her. Raven’s wing hair fell down like a waterfall from her shoulders as her head lolled back. Smirking, he began walking away from the altar towards a whole in the wall.

“The Queen shall be very pleased…”

Looking down at the unconscious young woman, he couldn’t help but feel smug. His lady’s plan worked, and soon the girl would be under his Queen’s service. Walking into the hole, he didn’t bother to close it. ‘After all they would be back too late to stop me anyhow.’ Disappearing into the darkness, he laughed as he took the ‘Avatar of Ishtar’ along with him.

“WE HAVE ACTED UNFORGIVBLY AND CAN MAKE NO EXCUSE! PUNISH US AS YOU WILL!!”

Kikkuri gritted his teeth and scowled at the three females. How stupid could they get, why didn’t they ask Kail about this? “YOU FOOLS! TITO ISN’T DEAD, AND EVEN IF HE DID DIE…HE WOULD MOST ASSUREDLY DO IT FOR LADY KAGOME! TITO LOVES KAGOME! HOW WILL HE FEEL NOW, WHEN HE FINDS OUT THAT HIS OWN SISTERS HAVE KILLED HER!?” The three girls couldn’t help but feel shame. Because they didn’t bother to get all of the facts, they had killed an innocent girl.

While the shame rolling off their bodies was a little satisfying, Kail decided to stop this. Telling Kikkuri that he could stop, the blonde Prince looked down at them with narrowed eyes. “The one who claimed to be my servant…who tricked you into killing…” Closing his eyes for a split second from the pain that shot through his heart, he shook his head. “…Kagome, did you not see this person’s face?”

The elder of the three girls looked up, and she shook her head before retuning to her bowing position on the floor. “Forgive us…but he was always wearing a cloak…” Kikkuri turned towards his Lord in alarm. “It’s Uruhi! The Queen’s attendant!!” Amber eyes narrowed, and Kail couldn’t help but close his eyes.

‘So if she couldn’t get her, she decided to kill her…very cold-blooded mother…’

Turning his head, Kail gritted his teeth and gripped one of the small daggers that Kagome had on her body. It was the only thing he had left of her, and he could catch a whiff of her scent from the sheath and handle since it had been concealed on her body. “It most likely was…however…” Looking down at the three sisters, he clenched his fists. “Since no one has seen his face, there is not enough evidence to even accuse him of doing this.”

Pointing towards the vial that was sitting in a bowl, he closed his eyes. “Plus there is no poison left…and so there is no way for us to tie the vial to the Queen.” He couldn’t help but feel like a failure; he couldn’t even avenge her death. “Nakia is always clever…” As he was going to continue, the doors to the room were slammed open, and a soldier rushed in and kneeled.

“YOUR HIGHNESS, FORGIVE ME INTERRUPTION, BUT LADY KAGOME’S BODY HAS BEEN STOLEN! IT IS MISSING FROM THE TEMPLE!”

Everyone’s head snapped in his direction, and Kail’s eyes widened. “WHAT!?”

Rushing back towards the temple, Kail placed his hands on the altar where not even moments ago. Kagome’s body had lain. The village head bowed towards him, and informed him that none of the guards had seen anything though they were at their posts. Amber eyes stared at the altar in disbelief, “Then how could they have…” He trailed off as he suddenly had an epiphany.

“They used a secret door.”

Groaning slightly, Kagome slowly opened her eyes as she mentally fought through the haze. It had taken a while, but she did get rid of the rest of the poison. “…I say…Let Me…Wouldn’t that be okay?” Hearing the broken speech, the warrior princess couldn’t help but curse herself. Though she was awake, her body was slowly coming back under her command.

When her focus suddenly righted itself, Kagome narrowed her eyes as she heard an unfamiliar voice. “NO! THE GIRL SHALL BE TAKEN TO THE QUEEN, AND THERE WILL HER BLOOD BE SPILLED!” Glancing to her right, from the corner of her eye, Kagome suppressed a gasp. There near her was that big oaf Zuwa, and some cloaked person. Huffing slightly, she decided that she might as well try to escape while they were arguing with each other.

‘Now…to get moving.’

Whatever the man said after that obviously angered the giant Neanderthal. “TO HELL WITH THE QUEEN’S NEEDS! SHE NEEDS THE BLOOD TO FLOW FROM THE GIRL’S NECK RIGHT? SO WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IF WE DO IT HERE!?!” Gritting her teeth, Kagome scooted down a bit while making sure her movements didn’t draw attention. ‘They think I am still unconscious so I will continue to play on that…’ The cloaked man with a torch in his hand shut the idiot up.

‘Thank the Kamis for small favors…swear if he kept talking I would have lost more brain cells then I would by just being near him.’ He, Kagome concluded from the voice, stepped forward. “Though that may be, My Lady wishes the ritual to be carried out precisely, and will see to cutting her neck in a way that it won’t kill her…she has important plans set up for her!!” Now that was surprising, Kagome’s half-lidded eyes almost widened, but she composed herself.

‘Yes, the information is shocking, but I can’t give up my cover.’

He then finished his explanation. “This is going to be done when we return to Hattusa!” A feeling relief settled over her as she knew that she wasn’t going to be left with that nutcase Zuwa. Moving a little bit more, she cheered a little. Kagome was starting to become fully mobile again!

Unfortunately as if only to crush her dreams, Zuwa chuckled.

“We can settle it here! Give me her body, and I will peel off her skin!”

Glaring at the back of his head, she clenched her fist and smirked. If he even came near her, she was going to knock his head clean off his shoulders. Suddenly her miko powers completely eradicated the poison, and Kagome jumped to her feet startling the two arguing men. Leaning against the wall to keep her from falling after jumping up suddenly like that, Kagome decided that she was going to get rid of Zuwa once and for all. Turning her head towards them, she watched as Zuwa turned fully around.

“Awake are you, little girl?”

Without even thinking about it, Kagome brought up and hand and pulled her button eyelid down, and stuck her tongue out at him. “That is why you suck at your jog ignoramus! Instead of killing me or whatever, you sit there and have a conversation about it!” She smirked as he growled and lunged towards her with his sword, reaching down towards her thigh she met bare skin and sighed. Bringing her hand up, she smacked herself on the forehead while ducking down making Zuwa’s swords slice through a wooden support beam in the tunnel.

‘Damn how could I forget, they don’t leave weapons on a ‘corpse’…plus if they were taking her somewhere they would remove all the weapons!’

If she had gotten killed over something stupid like that, Sesshoumaru would assuredly come and bring her back only to kill her again…then bring her back and make her go to school! Crying mentally, she started running away as she thought of all the torture that the sadistic Daiyoukai would put her through. Unknowingly to her, she was running aimlessly through the tunnel before she ran smack dab into a wall. As soon as he body was pressed against it, the wall of stone crumbled and she fell through it to the ground.

Seeing the light, she smiled and moved to stand up when she suddenly felt the coolness of a blade against her neck. Nervously looking up, Kagome couldn’t help but almost mistake the axe-wielder as a lion. ‘Really! He looks like one of those lion youkai that Sesshoumaru had introduced me to before.’ A pair of dark eyes looked down at her from the hairy man’s face, and the menacing look wasn’t helping her relax.

“Who are you?”

End of Chapter 10!
