KyonKyon: This is a crossover of Fruits Basket and Inuyasha! Hope ya like it!
" You are banished from these lands forever, traitor!" the youkai roared, pointing to the fallen man, who looked up at the figure with great hate and venom.
" NEVER!" he screamed in rage and before anyone could stop him, he withdrew something from within the depths of his robe and flung it onto the floor.
Smoke covered and hid the fallen villain.
The youkai quickly acted.
He could see the retreating figure of the villain and with a roar he cast his spell.
" You, who have betrayed me, shall forever be lost…never to be found again…time will take you…where no one knows…" the youkai roared and the villain screamed in agony as the orange light surrounded him.
………………………………………………
Claws.
Kyo could feel his heart thumping away.
It felt like he had been running in a marathon…expect that a marathon didn't fill you with fear.
Rubbing his eyes, he looked down at his hand intently through the weak morning light.
An illusion, he told himself, calming himself.
He had imagined claws instead of hands…
Shaking off the remains of the dreary sleep, he got up swiftly.
In the bathroom, he looked at himself again, as a precaution.
The same fiery orangey-red hair…crimson eyes…hands…not claws…
His heart finally calmed down but he couldn't shake that feeling…that something was wrong with him…actually, not wrong…but…that something was happening within him and he didn't know what.
It scared him…
Flashback:
He wanted to beat that rat…damn!
Why couldn't he do it?
This was the countless time that Yuki had beaten him in the P.E training for running.
He had left school in a rage, glad that P.E had been the last lesson for the day so he could simply run out.
He didn't bother to change into his school uniform, just ran out in his tee shirt and his shorts.
He ignored the coldness of the weather and the way the wind slapped his face.
Damn!!
He didn't know when he had begun running but all he knew was that he had never felt this way before!
It was fantastic!
He was running so fast that he was almost a blur…everything passed by in a whirl.
He would have continued running but for the fact that he tripped.
Skidding all the way on the harsh cold ground, he lay there, feeling the breath knocked out of him.
He could feel the hot wetness along the length of his legs and his palms stung painfully.
Looking down he could see the redness of his blood along his legs and his palm.
Damn…
Limping slightly, he stood up.
Lucky he was nearly home anyway.
Lucky for him that Shigure was not home.
Neither Tohru nor Yuki were home too.
Luck…
Sighing, he tossed his bag onto the floor and headed down to the bathroom.
He wanted to wash the blood off him.
For some reason the smell of his blood seemed particularly strong.
It wasn't unpleasant…the metallically sweet scent…but it disturbed him to smell it so strongly…God, he must be bleeding like a struck pig.
Not liking the metaphor, he stepped under the shower having stripped already.
He waited for the painful stinging of his legs but when none came, he opened his eyes, puzzled.
Looking down, he felt his world spin for a moment…
How could it be?
There…was no wound…no large gash on his legs…
The blood washed down the drain, the only sign that there had been an injury and that it hadn't been a figment of his imagination.
His trembling, he touched his leg lightly…nothing…smoothness…
Shit…
He could hear his heart beat so loudly…
BANG
Kyo came out his daydream with a rude jolt, his heart palpating rapidly at the sound.
" Oi! Would you hurry up?" Yuki shouted from outside and Kyo bit back his retort.
A wave of red rage filled his vision and for a moment he feared he was blacking out.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw his face and abruptly stopped, shocked.
The red haze disappeared.
Looking closely at his face again, he was relieved to see it was normal…
But…something had happened!
He didn't imagine it!
Was…the bracelet finally…defective?
Looking down at the bracelet, he clenched his fists tightly against his skin, the beads cutting into the skin.
No…
No…
No…
………………………………………………..
A pale unicorn like creature galloped across the harsh terrains of the land, its feet moving ever so gracefully.
In the moonlight, it looked like a majestically dream creature, a creature woven from dreams and the moonlight…
The creature stopped briefly and looked at the direction where it was going.
A battle was being fought…darkness was losing…
The Sacred Jewel…
Racing across the lands, it made its way to where the source of the power was coming from.
………………………………………………
The battle had been harsh and painful.
Inuyasha leaned heavily onto his sword, wincing as the wounds bled freely.
Kagome was on her knees a few feet away from him, exhaustion overtaking her for a while.
Sesshomaru lay on the ground a few feet from the mutilated body of the dead Naraku. He grimaced as he stood slowly.
That dratted Naraku had taken a great chunk of him when he went.
The wound on his chest flared, causing Sesshomaru to wince.
" Shippou! Where's he?" Kagome asked, looking around tiredly.
" He's alright…I've got him…" Inuyasha said, swaying slightly on his feet.
" Damn…" Inuyasha cursed as he moved the unconscious kitsune in his arms.
" Something's coming…" Kagome said suddenly, her head snapping up as she clutched the Jewel to her.
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru looked up, their mouth tightening.
Shit, more trouble!
" Kagome! Get behind me! Now!" Inuyasha barked.
But before Kagome could comply, the 'thing' burst into view.
Awe struck, they looked at the creature.
" What is it?" Kagome asked, not aware of her husky voice.
" A Kirin…" Sesshomaru replied, his cold mask of indifference settling in again.
" A what?" Kagome and Inuyasha asked together.
" The 2 of you are certainly ignorant…" Sesshomaru snorted but before he could continue, the Kirin stepped forward and approached Kagome.
" Ano…" she began but the Kirin bowed its head and its horn touched the Sacred Jewel and light surrounded them.
" Hey!" Inuyasha's loud shout was heard before the light swallowed them up.
