I Can't Stay
Prologe
Kasumi licked her lips before a drop of blood could fall to the ground along with the dead cold body on the ground. Kasumi smiled a wicked smile at she looked down at the body. Her stomache was finally full and she would be moving on to a new town to cause trouble in. She turned to leave but in her way was a older woman, about in her late 40's. Kasumi looked at the ground and smirked, "Does this upset you?" The woman gave no signs of fear but she radiated of hate. "That was my daughter you vile creature." "Awww...would you like me to reunite you with her her?" Kasumi began to walk forward when the woman stopped her by simply lifting her hand, "You have made a grave mistake...for I am the most powerful miko in all the lands! I curse you!" Before Kasumi could even blink she was in a totally white room and the woman was with her dressed in a white gown.
Kasumi became outraged, "What have you done? You think you can stop ME!" The woman just held up her hand and instanly Kasumi realized she couldn't talk. "Kasumi, foul damned one, I have brought you here to curse you. For two centuries you have cause havok on these lands and it is time you are stopped. I will not kill you for i shall bestow apon you a far greater burden. From here on out you are to travel time. Leaping across time demensions if you will. You will be forced to help people with pure hearts who call out to you. And trust me there will always be someone calling. You WILL help them. If you do not you will be given a fearch migrane. Like this one." Kasumi began to scream for she had never felt anything likethis. It felt as if her head was being ripped open and someone was playing with her brains.
When Kasumi stopped screaming the woman continued, "You will randomly be placed in different time dimensions. Once you are gone no one will remember you. It will be like they fixed their own problem. You will be forgotten. You will make friends, you might even fall in love but you will be forced to leave them behind and they will forget about you. You will be lonely forever. Never to be loved or befriended for longer than i chose. You will keep you memories but they will not. When we are about to pull you out of the demension you are currently in you will hear a click in your head, from there you have fifteen minutes to finish whatever you can. You should also learn how to control your demonic side...for every time you kill a human you will be given another migrane only 10 times worse. That doesn't mean you cannot feed. By all means feed just dont kill. Now I will leave you to your duty...i believe I hear someone calling."
Some time Later, about 200 years (she cant tell time since shes jumping around)
Kasumi woke up in a forest somewhere. That was her least favorite thing about this whole thing. She would wake up in random places not knowing where she is or even a clue of who she needs to help. Usually they find her though. She moaned and got up to begin her mission. She was walking through a medow when she head someone ask very rudly, "What the hell are you doing in my forest?" She turned around and punched the person square in the face sending him fyling into a tree. "Now listen up you incompetunt idiot! I go where i please when it pleases me to do so!" With that she began to walk away only to turn back around again, "You wouldn't happen to need help would you?"
Inuyasha was shocked and pissed. She punches him with enormous strength and then asks if he needs help? Wierd. He was prepared to kill this wench when Kagome came running through the clearing with Sango and Miroku. All ready for battle. 'Ugh! I hate doing this! It makes my job so much harder!' She put her hands in the air, "Hold on a second! I don't wanna hurt anyone!"
"Then why did you hit Inuyasha?" Kagome asked firmly.
" Oh...because he was rude." Kasumi stated mater-of-factly.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha. The way he was staring at her he could tell she was telling the truth. Kagome sighed,"Sit." Inuyasha met his long time friend. Dirt. He mumbled a string of curses before he got up, "Wench! I thought you were on my side?" Kagome looked like she was going to kill Inuyasha, "That was before I knew you started it!" "BAK-" "SIT! SIT! SIT!" Inuyasha went flying into the ground again, "Do not call me a baka." Kagome said that dangerously low and Inuyasha either got the point from her tome or the sits but it worked so who cares right?
Kagome turned to Kasumi, "I'm sorry. He can be such an idiot sometimes. My names Kagome, thats Sango and Miroku...and this idiot is Inuyasha." She pointed to each person as she said thier name. Kasumi nodded, "My name is Kasumi." "Well...you look tired. Why don't you come bac to our campsite and you can tell us what it is you need here."
Kasumi thought about it for a second, "Sure. Why not?"
Later that night at the campfire Kasumi had told them everything. About her being a vampire and all about her curse and how evil she used to be. They all took is pretty well. Except for Inuyasha but one he got sat a few times he kept his opinions to himself. Suddenly she got increadibly dizzy and very hungry. She looked around at the blurring faces. If she didnt eat soon she was going to pass out
"Kasumi? Whats wrong?" Kagome looked genuinly worried.
"I have to eat." Kasumi felt weaker and weaker every esecond that passed by without food.
"Well theres lots of food on the-" Kagome was interupted but Kasumi.
"I need blood. Human blood." Kasumi looked Kagome right in the eye. Kagomes eyes flashed with red, "Don't worry i can't kill you or the migrane, remember?" Kagome looked relieved.
"Um...well I guess you'll have to drink from someone here." Kagome looked around at all the shocked faces. "C'mon guys! She said she wont kill anyone! Fine! I'll do it! Kagome was about to let Kasumi feed of her when Inuyasha stopped her, "Like hell you will! Theres human in my blood...it'll have to do." Inuyasha Removed his haori and brought Kasumi to his neck for easy access. Kasumi looked shocked for a second but soon recovered and sank her fangs into Inuyasha's neck. When she was finished She unlatched herself from a half consious Inuyasha, "He needs rest." Kagome nodded and Miroku helped Kagome drag Inuyasha inside to sleep.
"I'm sorry. I did not mean to take so much. He was just so...good. And oddly firmiliar. Like I've drinken him before. Anyway... tomorrow I'm afraid I must be leaving. I have to complete my mission." Kagome nodded and gave her a reasuring smile. Already Kasumi was begining to like these people as friends. She knew she shouldn't for she would be leaving and didn't want to get attatched. Kasumi jumped into the Goshinboku (is that how you spell it?) and made herself comfy on a branch starring up at the moon. 'He tasted so firmiliar. Oh well...those people are so nice. I will not let myself get attached though. I can't.' And with that she fell alseep.
Kasumi woke up unaware that someone had been watching her. She yawned and streatched and when she opened her eyes she screamed bloody murder and fell out of the tree. She composed herself on the way down and landed gracfully on her feet. She turned around and raging dark blue eyes met shocked amber. "WHAT THE HELL INUYASHA!" Inuyasha's ears flatened against his head, "Shut up wentch! Everyone else is still sleeping!" "Well then...can i ask what the fuck you were doing starring at me?" She wispered in harsh tones. Inuyasha just glared, "I was curious. You said i tasted farmiliar...I was seeing if I knew you."Kasumi smirked...this guy really was an idiot or did he just take her for a fool? She began to braide her midnight blue waist length hair, "Fool...I do not forget faces...if I had known you I would've remembered."
Inuyasha climbed down from the tree and sat next to Kasumi. "Is it hard doing this and not being able to stay with the people you meet?" The question took Kasumi by suprise. She had not expected that at all, "I try not to get involved with the people I help or the people I meet along the way." Inuyasha rephrased the question, "No I mean, don't you get lonely or sad that you can never have friends or love but you have to watch everyone else experience it?" She was even more shocked at the depth and meaning of his question, "Well, yea I do suppose I get lonely. But I don't usually open up to people like this. Mostly I'm considered quite cold. I don't like to get attatched." She smiled a small smile. 'Why tell him because they'l only forget me? It'll only make it harder to say goodbye.'
He looked at her as if she were crazy. He could never live like that. He suddenly felt very sorry for this girl. Having to live forever with no company or love. He bowed his head, "I'm sorry." Kasumi again was caught by suprise, "Inuyasha...don;t be sorry! I really do deserve this. I was very evil. I've accepted this...please don't feel sorry for me." She cupped his chin with her hand and brought him up to look at her smiling face. He jus nodded. "Well i better go." Inuyasha gaped at this, "What? But the rest of them haven't woken up yet. Don't you want to say goodbye?" Kasumi looked slightly sad at that comment and Inuyasha wondered if he had said anything wrong. "I have been forced to say goodbye far to many times. Tell them I said thank you." Inuyasha nodded and she began to walk away in the mist of the morning. Inuyasha chuckled at the irony (her name means 'mist' in japanese).
