Note: This is my first Fan Fiction, I hope you like it!
Sesshomaru walked silently though the dark forest, blood staining his clothes, and the scent made his stomach sick. He had wanted to kill Naraku before; but now he wanted to slaughter him by any means necessary. Tears threatened his eyes once again, taunting his being. How could he allow himself to get so soft? He let out an anguished howl from deep within his soul. He would get his revenge.
Inuyasha, Miroku, Songo, and Kirara sat around the fire, the silence engulfed them. Everyone was thinking about the incident, nobody wanted to talk about it. They all knew Kagome would have to know when she got back from her era. They could hear the shattering howl of the broken Sesshomaru even though he was no where near. Inuyasha felt helpless, he had always thought his brother was heartless only to be proven wrong by that cruel sight. The memory of tonight plagued everyone there.
Jaken had gotten tired of being Lord Sesshomaru's abused servant. So in turn he had gone to Naraku and deceived Sesshomaru. Jaken had told Naraku about Rin, Sesshomaru had treated Rin like a daughter, cared for her and even loved her like the child he had never had. Rin had been taken by Jaken to Naraku, when Sesshomaru came to Rin's rescue the stage had been set. Sesshomaru had exhausted himself fighting all of Naraku's minions, by the time Sesshomaru had made it to Naraku he was badly injured and too tired to fight.
With Sesshomaru paralyzed Naraku had slaughtered the poor child heartlessly in front of Sesshomaru spilling her blood all over him. There was nothing anyone could have done to help, for everyone with Inuyasha was paralyzed by a powerful poison, leaving them helpless, forcing them to watch the butchering. Even though Naraku could have killed them all he left. As he had disappeared he whispered to them in a low taunting tone, "Now you all know how serious I am." With his departure Sesshomaru crawled over to the child's lifeless body, gathered her up and held her, tears flowing. For hours he had stayed that way whispering softly, "My child, my Rin you dance among the stars now."
Kagome sat in her room, quietly packing with the window open to allow in a nice breeze. She was interrupted by a soft giggle from outside. She stood up and casually looked out the window. Her Grandpa was talking to a young woman, possibly in her early twenties. His eyes were wide, and his arms flied around dangerously as he told her tales of demons, wars, and evil spirits. Kagome left her room and walked into the yard to meet up with the pair.
"Wow, how exciting if only all those tales were true, I wouldn't mind an adventure!" The woman chimed. Kagome smiled with the thought that grandpa finally had someone to rattle on to.
"Oh Kagome, you've come out of your room! This is Alicia; she has come here all the way from America!" Grandpa said excitedly. Kagome eyed Alicia curiously. She was around 5' 1" with milky white skin. Her hair was a curly blonde that reached all the way to the middle of her back. Her eyes were a brilliant blue. Even though the girl seemed happy, her eyes had a deep sorrow to them. She was clearly beautiful and obviously not from Japan.
"Nice to meet you Alicia, so how long will you be staying here in Japan?" Kagome questioned.
Alicia smiled softly, "Permanently I hope, I felt pulled here…" She answered curtly. Kagome eyed her curiously, she would feel pulled here too if she had to be down in America with the war and all.
"Well its nice talking to you, I hope that we can get together sometime, but I have got to go." Kagome excused herself, she was late and Inuyasha would be angry. Running back to the house she quickly gathered her things, placing the jewel shards in her pocket she exited the house walking to the well house. Safe inside the well house she pulled out the glass jar full of jewel shards counting them. The jar slipped from her hands and shattered on the ground. "Damn…" she muttered.
On all fours she picked them up quickly putting them into a plastic baggie and placing them in her pocket. Kagome then got up and jumped into the well.
Alicia listened to the old man babble on and on and on. Never ending it seemed. At first it was quite entertaining, but now it had gotten old. Kagome looked like a nice girl, but Alicia felt like Kagome was hiding something with her quick departure. Alicia had fled from America, with the war getting worse and worse she had hopped a plane and came to Japan. She was hoping for a better life but now she was just a homeless person. It was getting dark outside and she had eyed the well house earlier that day. She had planned to stay in it, and came to take a look around. Finally the old man had left, something about posting up spells and such, this was her chance. She eyed the yard nervously and took off running toward the well house fast so no one would see her.
It was dark inside, but it kept the weather out. Earlier she had placed a backpack behind a beam so nobody would see it, she found it almost immediately. Searching though it she found a flash light. Turning it on Alicia looked around the well house. She held her backpack in her arms protectively. She noticed broken glass then something shined purple in the dirt. She kneeled down picking up some kind of fragment. It was pretty. She smiled and decided to keep it tucking it into the pocket of her tightly fitted faded blue jeans.
She sighed heavily turning on her heels, the dirt made her fall clumsily backwards over the edge of the well and down into it. She shrieked helplessly as she fell, there was a strange blue light and she landed softly to the bottom. She looked around confused. Oh no what am I going to do now she muttered. She wasn't even supposed to be in the well house and now the old man was going to find her in the morning in the well. She saw foot holes and decided to climb out herself. She tossed the heavy black backpack on her shoulder and started to descend from the bottom of the well. Her stomach was growling with hunger, it was three days since her last meal and now the activity was making the pain in her abdomen much worse. Her white tank top was probably really dirty and the fashionable black studded belt securely fitted on her hips was making the climb much harder.
She reached the top and threw herself over the edge landing with a thump, breathing hard she rolled over on her stomach noticing that she had landed on thick, lush grass instead of concrete, dirt, and broken glass. She looked up to see the well house was gone and she was in the middle of a forest. Confused and a bit scared she rose to her feet. This must be a dream she thought just a strange dream. She walked around touching the trees, and following the fireflies that had come out to play. Suddenly she heard a low tone growl, startled she turned around to find yellow eyes starring at her in the darkness.
She turned and ran as fast as she could deeper into the forest. She knew the beast wasn't following her but she was too frightened to stop. The backpack was growing heavier and heavier but she refused to drop it. Finally she collapsed by a shallow stream, she had cuts on her skin from the branches hitting her body, her sweat was making her skin itch, and she was out of breath. Alicia was so tired, but her body was tense with fear. Where am I? She whispered shakily.
