Kagome's POV
I peered down at the broken city below me and glared in disgust. Our, once, beautiful town now lay in poverty. The skies had darkened into a dull gray and the streets were filled with blood. I watched as another demon pushed a small child down and beat it before slicing its head off.
In the distance, the Takahashi building stood proud and tall amongst the piles of rubble. My eyes narrowed and I spat at the ground as I stared at the monstrosity they dared call a sanctum. That building was the reason for our resistance and what we fought against every day just to stay alive.
Shikon City had once belonged to both the demon and human race before my evil bitch of a sister turned and made it a living hell hole. Kikyo had sold her soul to the devil in exchange for ultimate power and the result was her going to the Takahashi clan and filling their minds with lies.
She had declared the human race was planning to take over the city and chase away all the demons that reside within it. Thus, a war was born and unneccessary blood was shed. The Takahashi brothers, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, had gathered their armies of demons and attacked our poor city.
They destroyed countless homes and took all of our food then locked us all within the walls of our home turning us into slaves and weak mortals. They fed us by growing all the food within their walls and then coming out in pick-up trucks where they would throw it at us in bags. Sometime's it would become a blood bath as people tried to fight just for some food and then run off in fear of it being taken.
In these days it was rare to find spare food or shelter. If we disobeyed any laws, we were taken to the Takahashi tower where they would beat and torture you for days and then throw you back out on the streets to die a slow and painful death. It was truly a gruesome act to watch.
"Kagome *static* come in Kagome," a voice echoed from my belt. I grasped the walkie talkie and pulled it up to my mouth.
"Reading you loud and clear Sango," I spoke into the walkie. I heard a slap and a growl on the other line and had to hold back a smile.
"You perv get your hands off of me *static*!" Sango yelled at Miroku. I dusted the invisible dirt off my shoulders and sighed before speaking,
"Guys we have a mission to do remember?"
"Oh yeah *static* the demons will be leaving soon and you will have a 30 second time frame to get the food and come back *static* if you fail you know what to do," Sango told me. I smirked and said,
"Will do. Chow," before dropping the walkie and smashing it into pieces with my foot. I glanced up towards the sky and sighed before sliding on my black safety goggles along with my black, felt ski mask. I pulled my thick, long black hair in through the hole in the back and stood up.
My outfit was a black leather suit that my best friend, Sango, had designed from her knowledge of the demon slayers clan. The leather was tight and fit like a second skin and inside she had built in pads on my chest, elbows and knees which created a rippling effect on the outside. The boots had been made from a demons hide and were as strong as steel.
Sango had lost her family against the demons when they had demanded her father make weapons for them. When he had refused, they had all been executed on the spot all except her and her brother, Kohaku. The worst part was that they had made them both watch.
My family had been split apart and forced to work before Sango had come along with Kohaku and rescued me. Together, we escaped and made it to the outside where an old woman named Keade had taken us in. She brought us into the hive, which was now known as the Rebellion, and taught us everything we knew.
Sango and I were both exemplary fighters, with me being a miko and her being a demon slayer, but she was too focused on making sure her brother stayed alive to go out and fight. So I, among three others, was voted to do missions that required us to leave the hive and go into the city.
I pulled my gloves on and grasped my bungee rope from my belt on my hip and plunged the metal clip into the rocky structure of the building before peering over to watch the demons below.
It was a family of rat demons this time and I smirked. I watched as they moved to jump out of the truck like Sango had said and backed up slightly before breaking into a run and jumping over the edge of the building. I straightened my body out as I flew downwards quickly and reached my hands down to grab the bag of food in the back of one of the trucks. I wrapped my hand around the bag quickly as the rope began to pull my body back up like an elastic rubber band.
Half way up, I did a slight flip and whipped my blade from my hip and plunged it into the side of the building before unclasping the hook around my waist and clinging to the building tightly. Sweat dripped from my brow and I looked down to see the demon guards go into a panic at the sudden loss of food.
Choke on that bitches, I thought as I scrambled up the side of the building. Once I had pulled myself up and over onto a ledge, I bent down to inspect my package and smiled as the smell of fresh meats along with a few bits of produce hit my nose. It had been a while since we had had any meat.
I pulled the bag up around my neck and tied it tightly before breaking out into a run towards the hive. Miroku had named it that after watching some stupid horror movie, but sadly it had stuck. He said it had made our underground home sound so scary and badass, but really I think he just liked to believe that.
I jumped from building to building being wary of the demon guards below. When I finally reached the building I had been looking for, I hopped down into the shadows before slipping down into one of the alleyways and knocking on the hidden door.
A grunt sounded and I whispered the password, "Oswari," and smiled when the door opened to reveal a familiar face with a Mohawk dressed in a white wife beater and torn, faded out jeans.
"Hello Hakaku," I said as I pulled my mask off and marched into the dark hallway. Hakaku was a wolf demon who had joined the Rebellion a few weeks ago. He was one of the few demons who didn't agree to the other demons need for power and had joined us when I had run into him a mission once before. He wasn't very good at fighting, but when he was given any type of eletronic, he was a genius.
His brother Ginta was just as bad at fighting, but we owed it all to them for the high tech security both on the inside and outside of our hive. Hakaku guarded the door and Ginta worked in the surveillance room watching for all signs of activity within the city.
"Well hello sis. Got the package?" he asked. I dropped the bag down from my shoulders and smiled up at him as he leaned down to take a sniff.
"Mmm meat. Been a while since we had that," he said and I smirked before gesturing for him to take the bag as we headed down the dark hall.
"Yea, bastards didn't even know what hit em," I said as we stopped in front of a dead end. Hakaku pressed on a hidden slot in the wall and a screen appeared before us demanding a finger print. He pressed his finger against it and I watched as the door slid open to reveal a small, steel cylinder elevator.
I walked in behind Hakaku and looked at him as he typed in more buttons on the inside screen. I felt the familiar whoosh of air as we descended below the city and into the hive. Once the elevator stopped, Hakaku stepped in front of me and typed in the password again to open the doors.
Once the doors opened I stepped past Hakaku, grabbed the bag, and waved at him before the doors closed and the sound of the elevator moving up reached my ears. I turned around and blinked as the darkness engulfed me.
The hive was designed in a complex structure of mazes so in case we were attacked, the enemy would be confused before really figuring out the structure. We had also blacked out the outside halls and made everyone remember the steps to get to the main door. It was a difficult combination of twists and turns that only four, within the hive, actually knew. That was why only three of us were always sent out on the missions besides Hakaku who always stood guard.
I walked down the dark hallway and folowed the familiar paths I knew before coming in front of another dead end. I knocked lightly and smiled when I heard a familiar female voice.
"Come on Sango you know it's me," I laughed and smiled when the door opened to reveal a tanned, white woman in dark skinny jeans and a white blouse. She was bare foot and her dark, brown hair was in tangles. I gave her a thumbs up when her brown eyes, finally, met mine.
"Kagome!" she cried and pulled me into a tight hug. I smiled and pet her head before pulling back and showing her the bag that was in my hand.
"We scored big time. Meats and a few bits of produce," I told her as we walked in and bolted the door behind us.
The hive was designed like an ordinary home. The kitchen was to the left and the living room, where the boys usually played games and hung out, was out towards the right. Further down the hall was the living quarters where each of us shared a room. In the back of the hall was Keade's room. There, she mediated and came up with plans with Hakaku and Ginta. Sometimes Miroku would join in or go and train the newbies.
The weapon and training room were located behind a hidden door in the back of the kitchen. The only reason it was hidden was because it was where Ginta also had the surveillance room set up. On the other side of that was a lab room used for experimenting and where Jeneji worked on different medicnes with demon blood to see if he could create a faster reacting herb to put on wounds.
As we walked down the hallway we made a left towards the kitchen to unpack all of our food.
The kitchen was decorated in both blue and white flowers. The cabinets were all white as were the counter tops. The kitchen tiles were all blue and so was the dish washer and fridge. Keade wanted us all to feel as close to home as possible so that we wouldn't forget to always be happy.
Suddenly, we heard a meow by our feet and looked down to see Kirara. Kirara was Sanog's two-tailed cat demon who had been given to her by her father when she was a child. Kirara had the powers to transform into a very large cat demon and fly. Sometimes she was very useful when our missions required us to take large amounts of baggage.
Among the Rebellion besides Sango, Hakaku, Ginta, Kahoaku, and Miroku were three others. Shippou, a fox demon who had come to us during an all-out battle against the demons, could use magic and was always helpful with keeping the home full of laughter. He had orange hair and now wore some small shorts along with a blank tank top. The little thing was only a child and usually was always around me or Sango.
Ayame, another member from the wolf demon tribe used leaves as her attack weapon. She was also good at scaling walls and running really fast. She had red hair and was usually seen walking around in her wolf tribe clothes of white fur and armor. She was another one of us who was usually sent on missions.
The last member of our family was a large half-demon named Jeneji who was also the shiest. He usually stayed within the lab and it was very rare if he ever came out. He liked to do as much as he could to help other people and dedicated himsef to his work.
I laughed at Sango as she picked Kirara up who decided to run up and down her arms. Sango kept trying to catch the little minx and would always miss at the last second. Our fun was interrupted by a cough at the doorway and we looked to see Miroku.
Miroku was a human who had been growing up at a shrine like I had. He knew the ways of the Buddha and was good in exorcisms and spiritual things. He had violet eyes and pale white skin and dark black hair which was always pulled back into a small little ponytail. He was the last of the hive who was sent on missions.
"Hello ladies," he said as he stepped into the kitchen. I sighed and turned to lean against the sink.
"What is with you and the boys lately walking around in fucking these wife beaters and torn up jeans? We aren't gunna think you guys are suddenly it-on-a-fucking-stick just because you changed your looks," I said while pointing at his attire. Miroku laughed and then pulled his shirt off flashing me and Sango.
"Ahhhh!" I yelled and covered my eyes as he tried to flex his arms. Sango only brought up her fist and looked up at the monk from below her bangs.
"Mir-o-ku," she hissed out before running over and punching him square in the face. This caused me to drop on the floor and laugh as she continued to bash on him and he tried to get away.
"What *punch* do you think *punch* you are *punch* doing *punch, punch*!" she yelled at him. As Miroku tried to explain his actions, we were suddenly interrupted as we heard a voice enter from the intercoms,
"My children ye are needed. I shall speak of what has befallen when ye reach my quarters," Keade's old voice said before cutting out. We quickly ran to her room and watched as everyone else filed in right behind us.
Keade's room was designed as an old japanese tea room. In the corner was her futon where she rested and in the middle of the room was a large, short table with sitting mats on the floor below it. He room connected to her bathroom that was designed in a simialr matter.
In the corner were different floor and mission plans along with her computer that she used to hack into the Takahashi's main frame and collect information. I smiled as she looked up at me but it dropped as I saw her eyes filled with a strange sadness.
When Shippou entered, he ran on all fours towards me and jumped up on my shoulder while smiling and said,
"Kagome!" I gave him a reassuring pat on his head and smiled at him then motioned for him to be quiet as Keade's voice spoke up.
"Children, another execution has occurred," she said. We all gasped and looked at one another before Keade spoke again,
"Kagome, my dear I am sorry but it was ye family that received the blow," she whispered out. Suddenly my eyes widened and I dropped to my knees as her words sunk in. My blood pounded in my ears and my lips slightly parted as I wanted to scream. Instead, I let silent tears fall down my face as I felt someone wrap their arms around me.
Ignoring everything around me, I balled my hands into fists and looked up at Keade before growling out,
"Who?" Her old face smiled sadly at me again as she brushed her old, long gray hair from her shoulder and then fingered the eye patch that was over her left eye.
"Are ye sure ye-" she began ,but I stopped her and slammed hands against the table in front of me.
"Just tell me the fuck who!" I yelled at her panting slightly from my outburst. She closed her eye and let out a sad sigh before looking at me.
The name that she said would now be my victim in a deadly game of life and death. I would not rest until the person responsible for my family's execution was dead and thier head on a platter before my very own eyes. I looked directly at her and pleaded she tell me and I then felt my world stop as she whispered his name out,
"Inuyasha Takahashi."
Please review and tell me what you think. Until then :)
