~Chapter One~Emerge from the Waters
The air had grown cold, the sky dark. Sesshomaru, thought to be dead by many, sat alone on a hill over-looking a patch of dead trees and barren earth. 'Hideki,' he thought rather sadly. It was strange how he, a full blooded demon, had come to find a love such as this. He was cruel and cold hearted, yet somewhere inside of him was a glimmer of soul, a faint touch of true heart. She had a strange effect on him. The keeper of the Oni. His one and only. After she had disappeared he had become darker than ever, yet he still searched for her, through all his journeys, he looked for his cursed love. 'How ironic,' he thought. 'Inu Yasha, the worthless half breed finds a new love and expects to keep her. How sad. I will see an end to that.' He stood and walked to the east, following his instincts. His heart was bitter and revenge would be sweet. Watching Inu Yasha's face break as Kagome died. To see his own kin suffer like he filled him with satisfaction. "Don't worry,"he murmured, "all will end well. You'll die too, brother."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Inu Yasha sighed and sat up. It had gotten a bit colder. He looked down to Kagome. She was still asleep, snugly under the thick woven blanket, using his hamaka as a nightgown. He smiled. It looked good on her. Better actually. It was loose and flowed slightly. Just enough to delude one into thinking she was a princess of some sort. Not that she was. There was no way she was or ever would be a princess of any sort. He smiled at the thought and leaned over her, carefully brushing a small strand of hair away from her face. How peaceful she looked. So beautiful. It still was new to him, loving her. It had taken a lot to get over Kikyo's death...but he had hadn't he? He was positive, he loved Kagome after all. A small sliver of light fell into the room, illuminating the steel blade of the Tetsusaiga. Inu Yasha stared at it for a moment. The Tetsusaiga, his father's blade. Only second to the Oni. A mysterious blade the Oni was, hardly any saw it and if they did they rarely lived. Sesshomaru had once been in love with the mysterious girl who wielded the Oni, but he wasn't sure what had happened.
He sighed and stood up, stepping out into the damp night air. The sky hung heavy and the air clung to him like a blanket. Inu Yasha sucked in the cold night and let out a long sigh. Something wasn't right...he could feel it. "Inu Yasha?"
Kagome's sleepy voice startled him and he twirled around. She stood beside him, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. His hamaka had slid off one of her shoulders and he stared at her bare skin, almost enchanted by the sight. She yawned and looked out over the vast forest, seeming lost in another world. He watched her for a moment. "Um..Kagome?" "Hmm?" "What are you staring at?" "The stars."she said softly, so soft he hardly heard her. "Why?" he asked looking up at them. There they were, glittering like a thousands grains of sand. "They look like they always do." He sniffed. Kagome shook her head."No...at home, there is so much light from the city, you can hardly see them." She sighed and wandered to the edge of the porch. Inu Yasha followed her and together they sat down, each staring at the sky. "What makes them so special Kagome?" "They just are Inu Yasha. Don't you see how each one glows so bright? It's the love some one has for some one else. When that love fades, so does the star."
She pointed to the far northern sky where a falling star shot into view before fading. Inu Yasha's ears pricked and he looked at Kagome wide eyed. "How did you know that would happen?" She laughed softly. "Lucky guess." She reached over and took his hand. They sat together in the silence of midnight, watching the stars above them. Suddenly Kagome felt chilled. "Inu Yasha," she whispered. He looked at her startled. "What is it?" She shook her head. "I..I don't know. I feel a presence here. One that doesn't belong!" Inu Yasha stood and and sniffed the air. She was right. There was something there. He ran inside and emerged with the Tetsusaiga. "Kagome, go inside."
She shook her head. "NO WAY! I am not letting you have all the fun!" She glowered at him. Inu Yasha began walking into the forest, Kagome hot at his heels. What was it? What was it they felt and smelled? Kagome could only hope it wasn't a demon. The two of them left the safety of the house and walked slowly towards the woods. A mist swirled around the base of the trees, giving them an omniously darker look. Kagome gulped and inched closer to Inu Yasha. He looked down at her, his eyes showed his disapproval of her coming but he said nothing. The feeling grew stronger with each step. They entered the woods and followed the path deeper inside. Leaves rustled to the left of them, a bird fluttered overhead. Silence resumed and they kept walking in the darkness. They stopped at the edge of a pond. The water glowed, the mist floating above it glittered. Inu Yasha frowned. He felt that this is where they should be, but there was nothing here. Unless.....
He peered into the water,its icy blue depths showed nothing. Suddenly bubbles began rising to the surface. A glimmer of gold light flashed around under the surface. He jumped back. "Kagome!Get.." She had already run passed him and dove in. "Ka-KAGOME!!" He reached out and gasped as she disappeared under the water. The entire pond was now bubbling. He gritted his teeth, ready to jump in after her, when she resurfaced. She had her arms around a girl with flowing pink hair...and ears like a cat. Kagome swam to the edge with one hand, dragging the girl behind her. Inu Yasha pulled tham both out of the water and layed the unconcious girl down on the ground. He turned and grabbed Kagome, pulling her to him. "What's wrong with you? Jumping in like that..." The bubbling stopped and a glint of silver flew up into the air. They jumped out of the way and the silver landed on the ground next to the girl. Inu Yasha stared at it. It was a sword, a thin silver blade with a design in the middle...pink cherry blossoms. He looked at the girl. The presence was surely hers. Kagome poked the girl's body. "Is she ok?" Inu Yasha shook his head. "Lets take her back."
She nodded and stood up. Inu Yasha lifted the girl onto his shoulder and began walking. Kagome grabbed the sword and they headed back to the village. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ 'I'm breathing...Am I alive?...Has it been fifity two years already?' Every thing in view was blurred. She was wrapped in a thick soft blanket, in a warm house. She struggled to speak, but only a small gurgle came out. A face floated into view. "Hush now. You'll be ok." A girl's voice. She closed her eyes and sleep took over.
Kagome sat by the sleeping girl, comforting her when she tried to awaken. They had brought her back, dried her off and put her in pajamas. She wasn't ready to be awake. She was weak. Kagome wondered how she had ended up in the pond. She turned suddenly. The girl was sitting up. "Oh!Your awake!"
She smiled and poured a small glass of water, handing it to the girl. The girl drank slowly, then sat there in silence for a few minutes. She looked up to Kagome. "Thank you,"she said softly. Kagome smiled and put her hands in her lap. "I was hoping you would be ok. Inu Yasha was pretty worried too."
The girl dropped the glass,her face in shock."Inu..Yasha?"
Kagome turned to her. The girl's face was twisted in pain. She reached out for Kagome. "Where did you find me?"she asked tearfully. Kagome blinked. "Uh...a pond in the forest. Who are you? You seem to freak each other out."
The girl lowered her eyes and tears landed on her cheek. "I am Hideki, keeper of the Oni."
