The Kiss You Wished For
Hey, readers!
This is my first fanfiction, and I let my friends read it and they liked it, so I decided to put it up on hope you like it!
Pairing: Sesshomaru and Kikyou! They are my favorite pairing, and they make the ULTIMATE couple! (all those Kikyou haters and Sesshomaru haters, back off)
Chapter I
Kikyou placed her hand on the villager's daughter. It was hot. She quickly dipped a cloth into the bowl of water and placed it on top of the little girl's forehead. She picked up the girl's wrist and felt the pulse. Normal. Kikyou sighed with relief. This girl was lucky. There was a disease that was roaming the whole land. Who caught this disease first began to get a high fever. Next came the fast pulse, which caused the patient to breathe abnormally. Then came the coughing and spitting blood. Last, death.
"Kikyou-sama, is my daughter all right?" asked the girl's father, looking anxious.
"Yes, and this girl is very lucky. She hasn't gotten to the next stage yet, which would be harder to cure. Here are the herbs that are needed," answered Kikyou, handing out the herbs. The villager's face relaxed. "Put this into cold water, we the cloth with this water, and put it on your daughter's forehead. Change the cloth at about every ten minutes."
"Thank you, Kikyou-sama. Thank you very much," exclaimed the villager as the miko started towards the door.
Kikyou sighed as she got out of the hut. She had to visit many villagers that were sick. These days were so busy and tiring that she could only get a few minutes of sleep. She slowly turned her head and looked at her busy village. Every now and then, people would come in and out of their huts, taking care of their patients. She sighed again as she walked into the forest. This forest had so many memories, very painful memories. The tree that Kikyou once pinned Inuyasha on was part of this forest. Oh, how much she had loved him fifty years ago. The day when Kikyou told Inuyasha about the life of a miko and how the two lovers promised each other to purify the Shikon no Tama by transforming Inuyasha into a human was unforgettable. Yet, the next day was unforgettable also, but painful. It was the day when the hanyou Naraku transformed into Inuyasha and Kikyou to make it seem that they betrayed each other. Worst of all, Kikyou died of blood loss from the wound that Inuyasha/Naraku gave her.
Now, Kikyou was alive by the body of clay, dirt, and bones. Kikyou quickly shook off the painful memory and looked down into a pond. This pond was her 'thinking spot'. She found herself looking at the reflection of a gorgeous woman with hazel-brown eyes, bangs that reached eyebrows, beautiful raven hair tied with some locks on her shoulders, wearing a traditional miko hakama. This was how she looked like before she died also, but yet it wasn't the same. She sat on a rock, thinking deeply about her reflection. She was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't feel a demon chasing a little girl.
This big ox-looking demon was chasing a little girl to eat. Just as the girl screamed when the demon smashed its horns on the girl's fragile body, Kikyou snapped back to reality. Before he knew what she was doing, she had already pulled the bowstring and shot the demon. The miko hurried over to the trembling girl. She had a checkered yellow and orange kimono with a small lock of hair tied on the top right side of her head.
"Are you all right? Are you hurt?" asked Kikyou, looking anxious, holding the girl with her hands. When he released the girl, there was blood. She checked the girl's arm, and there was a wound that was poisoned and now bleeding freely. Kikyou's hands began to glow purple. As she touched the girl's arm, the poison vanished by her purifying powers. Kikyou tore a piece of cloth from her hakama and tied it around the hurt arm.
"Are you feeling better?" asked the miko. The girl smiled sweetly and nodded. "What is your name?"
"Rin, miko-sama," answered the girl, hugging the surprised miko. Kikyou felt…warmth. This girl was so sweet and nice, and she was touched by her.
"You may call me Kikyou," she offered, after the two girls broke away from their hug. At a distance, they both heard a call for Rin.
"Rin-chan, whoever that is, you must go. That person is looking for you," said Kikyou softly, sad that they must part so soon.
"No, Kikyou-sama. I want to show Jaken-sama and Sesshomaru-sama my savior!" exclaimed Rin, pulling Kikyou's arm. As she followed the little girl, she thought that she knew who Sesshomaru was, but she just couldn't remember.
"Rin! Oh, where are you, you brat!" shouted a voice. As Rin and Kikyou followed the shouts, they found a toad with a staff that had an old man's and a woman's head on it. It was very short, shorter than Rin.
"Jaken-sama! Rin is back!" exclaimed Rin as she walked towards the toad. But the toad's eye wasn't looking at Rin, but staring at Kikyou.
"Who are you, wench? What do you want?" spat Jaken, glaring at Kikyou.
"Jaken!" said a low voice, soft yet sharp. Out came a tall youkai with very long silver hair. He had a blue crescent moon on his forehead and two red stripes on both of his cheeks. He was wearing a white-blue kimono with Sakura patterns on the side of his left collarbone, armor, and a giant fur boa. His eyes were sharp amber, not showing any emotions except for blank coldness.
Kikyou was stunned. "In-, Inuyasha?" she murmured. This demon had the same silver hair and sparkling amber eyes. But this demon couldn't be Inuyasha – he had a completely different aura around him.
"Do not mistake me for my hanyou brother, Inuyasha," said Sesshomaru, sounding annoyed. "I, Sesshomaru, am not like my weakling brother." Sesshomaru knew who this woman was. She loved Inuyasha, but died. He smelled clay and dirt mixed with some flower scents from this woman. She wasn't human, nor living or dead.
"Sesshomaru-sama! Rin-chan was saved by Kikyou-sama!" said Rin happily, pointing to Kikyou.
"I see."
"Sesshomaru-sama! May Kikyou-sama travel with us? She's so nice!" asked Rin.
Sesshomaru couldn't make up his decision. He loved Rin even though he didn't show it. He didn't know what to do. "As you wish, Rin." His gaze was still fixed on Kikyou.
"Yay! Kikyou-sama! Can you travel with us?" asked Rin, happily dancing around.
"It may be your choice, Rin-chan," smiled Kikyou. She turned to Sesshomaru. "I am here for Rin, no other else." Sesshomaru turned around. "Jaken! Let's go."
Jaken was stunned. He couldn't believe that his Lord Sesshomaru, one that despised humans, would actually agree.
"Jaken! Start leading the way!" snapped Sesshomaru, kicking Jaken. As the four walked along the way, Sesshomaru was deep in his thoughts. He was told that this revived Kikyou is full of hatred and anger. But the woman that he just accepted didn't seem anything like it. Also, he was now traveling with Inuyasha's lover. Kikyou…she seemed different to him. He hated humans, but his feelings towards this human was – unusual.
