InuYasha- Tale of the Forbidden Demigods.
Prologue
The Betrayals
The beloved Priestess Kikyo stood in the field, waiting for her love, InuYasha, to arrive so she could give him the Sacred Shikon Jewel. Her long black hair was tied in its usual white ribbon and she wore the usual priestess clothes.
She relished the moment he told her he wished to use the jewel to become a human so he could be with her. If he used the jewel, she was to become an ordinary woman as well, as she would be no longer required to protect the jewel.
But something lingered on her mind as a young woman with long, flowing blonde hair with sad, sea blue eyes and the palest skin she'd ever seen on a person, entered her thoughts. Her hair flowed beyond her waist and her eyes were full of sadness and grief. Kikyo sighed at the thought of the young woman, and then forced her out of her mind as she heard the pit-pat of InuYasha's running bare feet on the grass coming up behind her.
Suddenly she saw a flash of red as InuYasha's claws ripped through the cloth and skin on her shoulder. An excruciating pain entered her body and she fell limply to the ground. She grunted and squished her eyes shut tightly in the pain. She opened them and looked forward at the Shikon jewel. She attempted to reach forward for it when a familiar foot stepped on her fragile and thin hand.
"Fool" stated the voice and Kikyo gazed up at her attacker as he continued, "I have no desire whatsoever to become human. But thanks for the Shikon jewel, now watch as i use it to slaughter the village"
Kikyo gasped in shock and watched him leave cackling, as she lay there, frozen by fear and the pain of betrayal and her wound.
Meanwhile, a long, white haired half dog demon stood by the tree waiting for Kikyo to bring him the Sacred Jewel so he could use it to become human. He longed for when he could embrace his human emotions and embrace his love Kikyo. He had no idea of what would happen next.
Suddenly the same woman with long blonde hair entered his mind as well. He sighed at the thought of her. A memory entered his mind making him gasp a little, becoming lost in his own mind.
The young girl stood beside Kikyo as she started slaying a few demons that had tried to steal the Shikon jewel. She turned and saw a demon heading straight for Kikyo from behind.
"Kikyo! Behind you!" she warned as she ran to Kikyo, attempting to shield her from the attack, however InuYasha jumped up from a bush and slashed the demon into many tiny pieces. The girl sighed but then turned as she noticed something.
Her scream echoed throughout the entire village and InuYasha and Kikyo both gasped in shock as they turned to see her fall to the ground as a trickle of blood slowly engulfed the pavement floor. Kikyo growled and then shot the final demon with her arrow then ran to the girl and lifted her slightly as InuYasha ran to their side.
They were in the hut the next day with the young girl in bed, a bandage wrapped round her head and a fever building slightly. Kikyo stood from sitting beside her, then walked past InuYasha, leading him outside.
"She has severe head injuries. When she wakes up, she might not remember who we are. In fact, i'm almost certain of it" stated Kikyo, looking at the ground in guilt. InuYasha sighed.
"Well, at least she won't remember her horrible past then. Isn't that a good thing then?" he asked her, then realised how dumb he sounded and looked at the ground in guilt. Even though she was stronger than both of them put together, she required so much protection because she was so fragile. That was the last thing he said about her that day.
Suddenly arrows shot past him and hit the tree nearby him, making him swing around to glare straight at his attacker, straight at the sight of his love, straight into the eyes of Kikyo with her bow and sacred arrow raised and pointed at him.
"Die InuYasha!" she called as she then fired her arrow, making him jump to dodge and run off with her at his heels. He was then captured in a net by the villagers but jumped out of the trees and slashed the net open with his claws.
If Kikyo wouldn't give him the jewel and would betray him, he would steal the jewel from right under her nose. He dodged the spears and shots from the villagers and burst into the hut that housed the sacred jewel.
He smelled the fumes of the poison musk that filled the fires surrounding it that protected the jewel from demons and he covered his nose with his sleeve as he grabbed the jewel.
"Finally, a way for me to become full demon at last!" he exclaimed in triumph. The door was then knocked down by the villagers and they shot arrows at him, making him jump out of the way as the arrows hit the torches, knocking them over and setting the hut of fire. He jumped out through the roof as the hut exploded, most likely killing everyone inside the hut.
He jumped through the air and then ran past the buildings that lay dormant. Suddenly a cry of his name caught his attention as he turned to see Kikyo aim and fire an arrow straight at him. It pierced him through the heart, pinning him the tree behind him. The force of the hit made him drop the jewel and try desperately for the jewel.
He looked up at Kikyo and saw the wind blow her hair slightly as she stared coldly at him. Suddenly a cry filled the air as both of them turned to look at a young woman with long blonde hair and blue, grief stricken eyes, in a long white dress that was used as a bed dress and a bandage wrapped around her head, staring at the both of them with grief filled eyes as she stared at them in disbelief. She walked slowly to the tree and reached for her best friend.
"Inu...Yasha... Kikyo... why?" she asked slowly as InuYasha then asked Kikyo why, then closed his eyes, dying against the tree. The blonde haired girl gasped as tears filled her eyes. Kikyo then grabbed a hold of the sacred jewel and fell to the ground from the wound on her shoulder.
The girl turned and gasped as she noticed her wound, and collapsed to her level, tears falling from her eyes. A young black haired girl ran to them along with the other villagers.
"Sister Kikyo!" she called as the blonde then took a firm hold of the girl, stopping her from advancing any further. Kikyo smiled slightly.
"Kaeda, Burn the Shikon jewel with my body, as i won't be with you very much longer. Take care of the village for me" she stated as she then started crying with the jewel in her hands, then collapsed to the ground, dead.
"Sister Kikyo!" called out Kaeda, and the blonde girl hugged her tightly. Now not only InuYasha was dead, but Kikyo was also dead, and she'd just lost the two people she was fought so hard to keep remembering, only to see them kill each other. But things would change after 50 years time, even though she didn't know.
