Tales Of The Guardians
WhisperingKage, Itoma
Summary: The Guardians have existed since the beginning of time and their mission has always been the same. To protect the children of the world. As time wears many fall and even more are forgotten. All that is left of the forgotten ones are the tales of their adventures... a series of drabbles, oneshots, ideas, and snippets that demand to be written. Inu Yasha/Rise Of The guardians.
This Time
Pairing: Jack Frost/Kagome/Bunnymund
Summary: Every time they called upon her she was someone else. A new face and voice but the same soul. It was her curse, she was only human, but this time they would protect her, no matter what.
Time is a fickle thing.
She waits for no one.
Has no master.
And is unstoppable.
Just like her guardian.
"Kagome?"
Many assumed she was something special, after all who else gets dragged down a well on their birthday by a demon?
Yet she took it in stride, she had been Kikyo's reincarnation, the bearer of the Shikon no tama.
Just a girl dragged into a plot set in motion by the gods.
Nothing special.
Just a pawn.
Anyone could have done, it had just been her that had been picked. She was in the right place at the wrong time.
Yet as she stared at the large bearded man across from her, grinning happily as she sat on the floor a jumbled mess, having been dumped out of a sack onto the cold hard floor, she could only gape.
Gudirans?
Destiny?
Protectors?
She was a guardian, the guardian of time, and now that her adventures in the past were over it was time for her to take up the fight.
To protect the children of the world.
It was her destiny.
What she was born for.
They would have collected her sooner if not for the seal placed on her powers by the jewel. A by product of one of the many souls that made up her own large one. Yes, many. Her soul was so large because it was a mesh of many souls combined to make her own. They were all women of great power that held great densities and were touched by time in some sort of way.
She was the final product of all those grands adventures...all those great densities tied into one being to make her the guardian of time.
It was an obstacle that she had to face alone. Her test, to see if she was worthy of truly being a guardian. Had Kikyo passed her test she would have been made Time's guardian but she had failed and once again she had been reborn and would have been born and born again until she was ready.
It was her 'Hero's journey'. A term she had learned in school, the things you think you won't use in real life end up being the things you need to know to survive...
To stay sane.
"I think ya broke her..." The accented voice was low yet still she was able to hear it. Blue eyes flicked over to gaze at the...Easter Bunny, who was in fact a real bunny. Be it a much larger physically fit humanoid one...
"I think the Yeti's were a bit much..." She turned her glazed gaze back to the Santa Claus, whom she had stopped believing in when she was twelve. He was more stocky than the holly jolly version she had been taught to idolize as a small child.
Her gaze left the jolly man to gaze at the sleeping golden man...the sandman...
Yes, the Mr. Sandman bring me a dream sandman...
"Oh kami..." It was far too much for her to process. One minute she was walking home from her criminal justice class the next she was freezing and had a sack thrown over her head...oh yeah...she did what any normal person would have if put in the same situation...
Her eyes rolled back in her head as she flopped onto her back passed out.
Bright blue eyes gazed at the passed out women in worry.
"I told you the Yeti's were going to be too much!" The voice was boyish and annoyed, he had warned them that the Yeti's might be a bit too much for her to handle. He had been keeping an eye on her, their scout so to speak, to gauge if she was ready to be welcomed into the fold, and he knew that it would be overwhelming.
She had just gotten used to being 'normal' no more magic and demons. She was a normal freshman college student trying to get her degree and put her past behind her.
Yet destiny never called on you when you were ready for it, he too had been brought to the North Pole in the same way years ago. It was a scary experience, not knowing what was going on and then having everything thrust on you liek that.
North sighed and nodded. "Maybe you were right...the Yeti's might be a bit to much..."
Tooth fluttered over the fallen female and frowned, fretting over her like a mother hen. "The poor dear. Let's get her settled in and once she wakes up we can ease her into it... Bunnymund if you would please?"
Bunnymund merely rolled his shoulders as he bent down and picked up the small female. She was so tiny, a by product of being human he mused. He rolled his shoulders again as she settled against him letting out a tiny sigh her small hands burying in his fur.
He felt his cheeks flush and was glad his fur hid it. He shot a glare at Jack se he gave a snicker no doubt sensing his embarrassment.
"Well lead the way." Jack merely gave him a snarky grin and lead him out of the grand room. A small twinge of jealousy flaring in his frozen heart. He had grown fond of the human woman. He had been watching her for more than four weeks, he knew her as much as any one person could know another without actually talking to them.
She loved freshly fallen snow.
Loved hot baths on chilly nights.
Hated spiders.
Her favorite food was oden.
Her least favorite was leeks.
She enjoyed the occasional horror movie and often laughed at how fake the murder scenes were.
He knew she felt out of place in the world, no longer a normal person.
She was trying so hard to re adapt to being 'normal' if only to please her family.
She was so very alone...
"You're staring Jack." He huffed at Bunnymund and merely tore his gaze from the sleeping female.
"Whatever Fluff butt." He cracked a grin as Bunnymund grumbled at the nick name. While no longer sore about his prank that one Easter...he was still semi hard on him. But it was only because he cared. He was like an annoying older brother...who liked to whack him...a lot with his damn boomerang.
It had been four years since they had battled Pitch and he had grown since then. Both physically and emotionally. He was still a trickster at heart but he was also more mature...well to a point. He still enjoyed the occasional prank or two...
He still held the record for the longest time on the naughty list.
A title he wore proudly.
"Tooth said to put her in this room." He paused outside an ornate wooden door and opened it. They both stepped into the large room. It was cozy and done in silvers and blues. Over the doorway was an engraving of a time clock.
A symbol of her powers...her destiny.
Bunnymund merely walked up to the blankets and deposited the small bundle into the large bed. He gazed down at her watching a she curled into a ball and sighed burying into the silken blankets.
"Think she's ready?" His voice was low and they both knew he was talking about the new darkness that was rising.
It was the reason they had sought her out, this new darkness was powerful, so powerful that they had to call on the guardian of time.
The only human guardian to ever be born.
She was mortal.
Had always been and would always be.
She was so rarely called upon...every time she was she was a different person.
The same soul with a new face and voice.
Jack gazed at her pale sleeping face and merely hmm'd. Ready or not she would have to fight.
Yet this time they would protect her.
They would not lose her to time.
Not again.
