The Unthinkable
Prologue
"Mama!" The two children cried. In the background, a baby's cries can be heard as well.
"I'm sorry, children." she whispered. "But you must listen quickly girls, you don't have much time. After I tell you this, you must flee. Take Souta with you and run."
"But Mama," cried the youngest twin, Kagome, "What about you? Aren't you coming with us?" Kikyo, who still had tears in her eyes, also waited for her mother's response. But, their mother didn't respond to the question.
Instead she said,
"A heartless demon,
who does not know love.
A bitter miko,
who fears love.
Both who seek revenge.
For a painful past.
Will cross paths.
What becomes of the two.
Will, change the world.
If neither understand love.
The downfall of Earth
Shall begin.
And it will be,
Unstoppable."
Their mother, gasping for more breath then said, "Children, you do not need power to protect. To protect someone, you must love. It is now, my time to go. Remember, what I told you, and know that I will always love you."
"MOTHER! No! Mother! Don't go! You can't leave us!" screamed Kagome.
"Mother! Please! Don't..."
But their screams, remained pointless. It didn't change anything. Their mother just smiled sadly, and closed her eyes. The children just sat their in silence, looking at their mother. Blood was everywhere. She, was always a kind hearted soul, and now, she was dead, gone. The murderer, Onigumo, a killer at heart, was still alive, and well.
Again, the sounds of shots can be heard. "Oooh children! Come on out. There's no need to be afraid." The baby, Souta, began crying again. It was his cries, that alerted the murderer where they were hiding.
Both Kikyo, and Kagome's heart literally froze in fear. It was clear, from their mother's words, that they were to find the miko, but who was she? The two, were just nine year olds. What could the possibly do? But both new, that they needed to survive, at least one should live on, to carry out their mother's words to the miko...
"Ah so there you are." A chill voice said, breaking them from their thoughts. "Now, if you run, I'll make your death even more painful." he said. And with that, he aimed his gun, at the eldest, twin girl. Kikyo, sat there, rooted to the spot. She was going to die, and she knew it. As, the man, pressed onto the button, that allowed, a bullet to be shot out, she waited for the pain. Only it never came. When she opened her eyes, her eyes widened in horror. The sister, Kagome took the bullet.
"Kikyo...get...out...of...here..."
"W-why'd you? N-noo I'm not leaving you b-behind!"
"Please...go...take Souta...take care of him...remember...mother's words...sister...one of us...has to live...go"
"B-but..."
"GO!" And she did. While, Onigumo was still in shock, that the little girl would be brave enough to take the bullet, Kikyo grabbed Souta, and ran. Never looking back...
By the time, Onigumo, snapped back to reality, the girl, Kagome, was charging at him. Again, surprised by the little girl's antic's he was unable to stop her from tackling him to the ground.
"Y-you bastard! Y-ou killed my mother! You murderer! You will pay!" It was at that moment, the police came in, and took him away. He allowed them to do so, since he was still in his shock state, but he would kill them nevertheless. The men, would only live, a little longer, because only a moment ago, he saw a flash in the little girl's eyes, that promised revenge. It was at that moment, that he knew, he had found the girl, the miko who had the power to destroy him. And, as he saw her being taken away, to a safer place, he knew, they would meet again. And, when they did, he would kill her.
