Moonlight Crystal

Chapter one: Tainted Blood

All ~~~ means dream and flashbacks!!!!!

~~~~~

"Do you know what this is honey?" A young man asked a little girl sitting on his lap. The child toyed with a necklace, from the silver chain, there was a single 3D like thin crystal attached, it look like it was more broken off then modeled like a shard. "Rock candy papa?" The man chuckled, shacking his head. "It's your destiny. When you where born, your mother and I found this besides you when the doctors warped you in a blanket." He said, his voice smoothing the child, making her sleepy. "We put it in the lost and found, but somehow…it showed up again. Within the crystal, the character 'destiny' was written , then vanished. After some years, it glowed and read happiness, and soon your mother was pregnant." The father smiled, while the girl wrinkled her nose. "There was no happiness when Souta came." The little girl whined, sticking out her tongue. Again, her father smiled, and continued. "You grandfather had fallen in love with it, he said it belonged to his ancestor and that you were the reincarnation of Kikyou… His scrolls foretold a story of her love, and that her love had given this," The father picked up the chain, letting the crystal dangle with its tip pointing down, holding it in front of his daughter. "to her before they were to mat- I mean, get married. Unfortunately, she was kidnapped on her happiest day. The captor loved her, but his evil heart wanted something that she had, and she was the only known person that possessed it. It was said the captor took her soul out of her body, leaving her an empty shell, thinking that was how to get what he desired, but he was wrong. Unable to completely kill her, he awaits a day where he could find another soul that is compatible with her body to resurrect her." His voice was decreasing in a low voice, making the story the more scary as well as depressing. "What about the guy she loves? I feel sorry for him." The little girl said innocently, in every children's heart, they could do no wrong and feel love towards everything in ignorance. "I do to Kagome…he was left with a broken heart that was glued together by vengeance…and his kinds are immortal…"

~~~~~~

"Get back here you bastard! You're just a coward without your bodyguards!" The vampire smirked as he was in pursuit of another like his kind. The other laughed harshly even with a deep cut in his stomach with a wooden sword. They ran in the pitch dark, both able to see in its dampness, when the wounded night hunter escaped from his chaser's view, he called out before he vanished in the darkness. "It's no fun when you don't make creatures you manipulate your bodyguards. You should know by experience." His cackling voice echoed in the western hillside, his voice trailing east to the city.

'Revenge ...' She thought to herself, her eye's closed with a necklace, which is the only thing that connects her to her father, in her hand. "Blow out the candles Kagome!" Her friends yelled happily to her, unknowing what goes in her mind and what keeps her awake every night. She opened her eye with a fake smile on her face. With one breath, the candles were blown out one by one in an odd pattern, but no one made much of it.

_________

"What did you wish for?" Keiki yelled with a devilish grin on her face, Kagome's other friends dragged her out of the house. "Your so nosey!" Yuki yelled, covering up Keiki's mouth, it was going to wake up the whole neighborhood in the middle of the night. "See you Friday Kag." They waved to her as they took their ride home. Kagome yawned sheepishly as she closed the door, a smile still on her face. With everything taken cared of , dishes left to a mopping Souta, Kagome turned off her light and found her way to her bed. She got 150 dollars worth of happiness today! Heehe hee.

"Kagome?" Her mother opened the door to her room, turning on the light. "Thank you for not hunting tonight." Her mother whispered, her voice although sad had a hint of joy.

"I won't stop until I kill that vampire. For what he did…" Kagome hissed, her eyes already welling up with tears, this is the second birthday her father missed.

Her mother walked out the room quietly, her face hung down, but she tried to maintain her posture.

"Where is that Kagura!" Naraku hissed in pain as he made his way to a small resident that was desolated from others. In other words: Perfect. He walked calmly up to the closest window, he focus as his mind searched for his prey. He succeeded. He grimace as he lost his concentration as he leaped on the tree, his mind control over the human not working. 'My powers must be more drained then I thought.' The predator opened the window, the figure beneath the covers moved slightly. "Sleep child…" He soothed, causing her to move more. 'It isn't working…' "Child…Go to sleep…" He soothed again, his time the girls eyes widened, although he didn't have a view of her face, he heard clearly of the sound it made.

Kagome's arm reached to what ever she felt nearest to her bed, her night lamp, it was made of glass, but at least it was something. She felt it, a feeling of spider legs running up your arm, falling down your spine, even if it wasn't much, she was still able to feel their presence when they were by. Being a slayer, it is one of the most important senses she needed to demolish them. With one swing, to her surprised, she pounded on nothing except the end of the bed. She was now sitting up, her blanket pulled up to her neck with one arm and the other holding the lamp. It wasn't that dear to her anyway. She turned her head to one of the corners of the room, and shadow crossed in the light. It wasn't her eyes that were deceiving her. That thought didn't satisfy her needs for security at the moment, her hair was flared up, all her senses trying to track what was ever in her room. The wind blew the curtains of the window, giving her an example the creature must be thin or small. 'Please let it be some flying pig, for once I don't go after them, they come after me.' She thought, using her experience to block her mind from the vampire that is lurking in her room, her fingers tightening around the lamp's midsection.

"One of the closest guess I have ever heard, child." Kagome's eyes widened, her confusion showing in her face and movements on how he could have entered her room so unnoticed as well as to hear her thoughts even with the two years of practice she had of holding her mind back; although he only read part of it. An image came to her mind. "You're an angel!?" Kagome shrieked sarcastically, imagining a person with the little pig wings. "No! But I do need something from you." With a swift movements her eyes were barely able to catch, he had knocked the lamp onto the bed, one of his rough hands holding her wrists enabling her to search for the lamp, his other hand bearing her throat. She felt his hot breath on her skin, she shivered in its response, her hands reaching to the hidden weapons in her room. She had never been attack in her home, or even in the neighborhood, and it didn't occur to her that a vampire that was strong would even bother to go to her home instead of the city that was close by. His fangs extended from its human looking teeth, slowly reaching her neck. He didn't care if she wasn't under his mind control, if she screamed in agony, he would be far gone before anyone arrives. His love bite would have healed, leaving two identical small bruise blemish. Only a droplets of blood to fill his thirst, he recoiled away from his victim, he stumbled back a few paces before he regained his footing, his lips burning by fire. His mouth cracked into a grin.

"I see god's rainbow and the devil's thunder stricken umbrella! It is satin's work that has presented me with a tainted mortal once again, and this time I shall not fail!" His laughter was low with a haunting rumble, but in his eyes showed the contentment in his discovery.

(god's rainbow : his frown/ devil's thunder stricken umbrella: his crocked smirk)

"Tainted…? But I'm still a virgin…" Kagome whispered, thinking of what he meant by me being a tainted mortal…'That he wasn't able to b..ite…me? This didn't make sense!' She had always overpowered every vampire she had gone up against, and they had never gone close to her as this one had. 'Is he a new race of vampires or something!?'

(pay attention to his description of Kagome! He can't see her that well!) '…' -thinking

"…I was questioning why your features are unclear to me as it is for mortals in the night, I can't read all your movements or the thoughts you block out. You have ancient blood in your vain."

'…and I want your power…but how will I remove her blood so that I can drain the mortal if her blood burns me?! No matter, I will find a way. But for tonight, I must leave and rest…tomorrow is a whole new day to look forward to.' Naraku smiled in mischief, his eyes lost its focus as he notice she was eyeing him, as if searching his…mind…

"…my blood?…Burns?…" Kagome whispered, searching in his mind was giving her a migraine! Her hands reached to the small bite at her throat, the puncture small. This vampire was old…very old, he surpass the usual vampires that live in the city, and with the wound… was chased here? Kagome smiled, she was a slayer for over two years, and no matter how old or strong any kind of vampire was, she wasn't intimidated by them. None has ever been able to break through her forces, although this particular one had manage part way. "If you want, leave, I'll see you tomorrow night then." Kagome yawn, causing Naraku to hiss between his fangs, besides furious, his surprise was common when ever Kagome show this behavior toward a vampire. Their lack of knowledge of her experience and her primary motivation that cause a young girl of fifteen to become a vampire slayer.

Without another noise, he was out the window, the wind blew into Kagome's face. Naraku had barely gotten a quarter of a mile away, his pursuer jump from above a withered tall tree, landing in front of Naraku. "Inuyasha…it's nice of you to finally show up." The wounded vampire hissed, his wound healing, although it was ten times slower then it would have been for a bullet shot.

"Shut up you ass hole! I've chased you for over a hundred years, and I'm starting to get tired of it! Today is when I finally get my vengeance on you!" Inuyasha jump, heading straight for Naraku with his claws extended. A millimeter away from a smiling vampire, Inuyasha was kicked from the side, falling violently to the ground.

"Men." A young looking vampire women hissed, pointing towards the pissed off Inuyasha. "In the sight of a women, and not wearing a shirt." Kagura, the newcomer, hissed, although more flirtatiously, then before. Her fingers tracing the dash scare on Naraku's naked body. Vampires are dead, having no feeling towards the temperature disturbed by the distance of the sun, and having more than pants strapped to their body, was called carrying dead meat, the more moral women would were something close to a tube-top or just a bra. Kagura in his case, a tank top, cut short beneath her breast and having baggy black sweats. "What makes you think I would be wearing a shirt like a mortal?" Inuyasha hissed, already knowing the reason, Kagura always thought of new jokes about his non vampire half. It was now routine for them to argue without saying the real reason. Though strange as it is. For the truth, he didn't hate her, but he didn't like her either. She was turned into a vampire by Naraku, and the original vampire always overpowers the other. Naraku is a …second edition as one can put it, like himself, after the very first vampire. Having the very first vampire commit suicide because over a 150 years of boredom, they are some of the most powerful beings alive. One wrong move from her, and she's dead by Naraku's hands alone. That's another thing, without any wood, Naraku is able to kill her because she has his blood.

"It's not that! I meant you would look better wearing one, and twenty million over it!" Kagura called out, her hands were now at her side. "Shut up Kagura! Take me home!" Naraku hissed, his hands grasp around her throat, her hair pulled down. Kagura winked at Inuyasha, waving goodbye before she threw something at his feet. Garlic powder. Vampires aren't sensitive to it, but it sure smells and itches their eye's. Other then that, it was just tradition because of the human legend. As the explosive powder cleared from his face, he found himself standing alone. He was so close tonight, but Naraku had managed to escape from his grasp once more. Inuyasha's head jerked towards Naraku's scent. It was a few minutes old, meaning he had gone this way and returned back, and that was where he intercepted Naraku. Like eyes of a creature of darkness, he located its mark. A shrine like house stood alone on an extremely small hill.

Kagome turn on her battery operative nightlight, feeling respiration dripping from her forehead, not noticing it until now how hard it was to maintain him out of her mind. 'If he hadn't left, I don't think I could defend myself from his mind control.' Kagome pounded her fist on the bed, TWO years of pushing back her life to train, mastering a wooden sword and archery, killing every vampire that attack at night in hopes that it was the one that killed her father. But she wouldn't know…she'll never know if she had finally got the revenge for her father or not. Meaning only one thing…

There is only one solution: to kill every vampire on the face of earth. With that one thing to occupy her mind, she soon fell asleep.

"What took you so long." Naraku commanded an answer, ignoring that he was choking her. He flung her against the wall of his chambers. "It wasn't my fault…I couldn't trace you…even with our connection. Then later it just appeared again…" Kagura couched out, holding her throat with her hand. Naraku didn't saying anything, with a movement of his hand, Kagura was signaled to leave.

"The tainted mortal has the same powers…as my dear Kikyou…" Naraku's fist was clenched, a single ring was on his forth finger, (married finger) it was a golden flat circle with some writings engraved around a small red shot ruby. Placing it on the forehead of a stone statue of a women that was placed between two book cases.

With a single light, it shone upon a young girl laid on a marble table, dressed in a beautiful white kimono wedding dress.

"Kikyou…"

'Naraku has definitely have been here…*sniff* *sniff*' Inuyasha wrinkled his nose, he moved the curtains out of his face, surprised by the reason of the inviting opened window. Even for Naraku, no vampire is carefree about having humans know about their society. Such carelessness would cause an uproar that the vampire that caused it would be tortured to death. 'Perhaps he killed her?' Inuyasha stood still on the tree that grew by her side of the house. His ears caught a heart beat. 'He must've knocked her out.' Inuyasha shrugged, not caring to clean up Naraku's mess, her began to close the window.

"Where am I" Kagome whispered, she stood alone on a vast shore, most of her view covered by mist and fog. She walked a short distance until her bare toes touch water, it soaked the ankles of her pajama pant. She squinted her eyes, straining to hear any noise. The fog cleared partly, her eyes caught a wooden pier. Like the fist morning sun's intermittent light, the mist rose and the warmth eased onto her skin. Bath in heat, her insides gave into its welcoming embrace, her knees buckled and fell to the soft sand. Behind the luminosity radiant light, her eyes made out a small figure on a small wooden boat. The craft stopped at the wharf, her eyes widen, there was a second person on the boat…

'That's…me…?' Kagome thought to herself, she sat on the ground, her legs weakened by the smooth warmness. Her body didn't respond to her command, leaving her to only watch from a far distance at the couple. Kagome stared at herself, or the person that was remarkably similar to her, although there were some differences. The first passenger was a blur of red behind the light, but she was able to see his movements. The two unknown people stepped off the boat.

The next think Kagome knew she was doing was staring wide eye at the couple that were hugging. Felling herself flush by the fact that the girl was her and she was positive she was hugging a guy.

The two embraced each other, making Kagome face turn scarlet when she saw herself smile, resting her head on the guy's shoulder. Her mirror image opened her eyes, her lips parted, whispering a sole name. Before Kagome knew what she was doing, she felt the same name escaped from her own lips.

"Inuyasha…."

The vampire halted, his little doggy ears perked up ( you'll find out why he has doggy ears later on) by the mention of his name. 'She knows me…' He reopened the window, pulling himself inside swiftly, not making a single noise. With his hands placed behind his neck, the wind blowing his snow like hair against his bare back. His face held disgust, watching the girl sleep, her face turned away from him and facing the wall. He walked by her bed, slightly moving away the hair on her neck, and fingering the other side with his cold fingers, feeling for any punctures. The half vampire searched her face in the dark, knowing that if this girl was a mortal, he would have been able to see her face as clear as day. Meaning she was a night creature. From what he could tell the girl wasn't a shape shifter or a vampire. Vampires were the easiest creatures to state, besides the usually blood feeding, hey don't breath or does their heart beat, and their body is cool with a slight whiteness to it.

He withdrew his hand from her neck, her warm breath still heating up his chilled hands. 'She's not used as food and a witch. One of Naraku's new pets.' Inuyasha clenched his fist, even the thought of Naraku boiled his body. (the only info I gave you of him is that he is half vampire. Use the clues to figure out the rest. The story will explain itself later on.)

Kagome's unconsciousness extracted from her, leaving her feel unprotected without a weapon in her hand. She sprang to her feet, the blankets falling to the floor. With a jump and unsurprised with a calm motion, the vampire landed away from her, leaning with his hands behind his head on the wall opposite from hers. The light that evaded the shade of the tree outside, gave a small view of his body to her, showing his location from the still opened window. She didn't give a second look at his figure, knowing well vampires use distraction as a weapon. 'It's one of that vampire's men.'

"Hump. Did he send you to check up on me? I said I'll be waiting for him tomorrow." Kagome picked up her blanket, feeling a sudden warmth. When withdrawing back to her bed, and further away from the vampire, she felt a small amount of decrease in the temperature. 'It's the window.' She thought to herself. She knew the vampire was watching her, but there was a unforeseen alter of emotion in him from his earlier calmness.

'She thinks I'm working…' Inuyasha's thought vanished from his mind, replaced by the fact that she knew something he needed. "I was just here to make sure you don't leave town or anything." Inuyasha replied, his smirk hidden my the shadow. Before Kagome could take another breath, he was gone.

Kagome shock off the event that just took place, trying to recall her dream. For some reason, she found it significant to her…

"I was on a…-"

"Kagome! Your keeping me up!" Souta whined as he entered his older sister's room. He rubbed his eye with his right hand. He stopped as Kagome was standing in front of him, a haunting looming atmosphere around her.

"SOUTA!! Now I forgot the whole thing!"

"MOM!! Help!"

_________

"Kagome? Are you alright? You seem really tired today." Her friends asked looking a bit worried, noticing during class that their friend was concentrating on something important to her and taking notes on a piece of paper.

"Sorry, I had a bad night yesterday." Kagome explained, still staring at the piece of paper, ignoring the food her friends were swiping from her. "What's that?" Yuki asked, looking at the words written on it. "Are you writing a story or something?"

Kagome didn't answer her, just giving a smile, she stuck the paper in her pocket and grabbed back her food. 'No…Just a dream I wish I could remember.'

__________

"Souta, did you get you stuff, we're going to that amusement park you wanted, and staying for the whole weekend." Ms. Higurashi yelled, packing all the luggage into the car. Souta and grandpa didn't even questioned for the reason of the vacation in the middle of May, they were too happy and dancing around didn't help them either.

"Please be careful honey." Kagome's mother kissed her daughter on the head, smiling. "I always am." Kagome gave her mother a farewell hug, both standing in front of the shrine house. "I meant with the furniture. Don't rip the wooden leg of the chair." They both smiled to each other, it wasn't the usual secret a mother and daughter keeps away from the rest of the family, but it was special for both of them anyways.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to keep it in my room."

_______________

Naraku stood at the steps toward Higurashi shrine, Kagura and two others standing behind him. One of them, in male gender, whore baggy shorts and a dark gray sweater. A small girl with dark black eyes stood, or floated, besides him. Her entire self, including her dress was silky white, from that, her dark eyes stood out from everything else.

"Kagura, cut the wires."

___________

With mostly everything moved out of her room, Kagome took a few practice shots on a hanging target paper. With a mechanical launcher strapped on her wrist she aimed with instinctive accuracy. In a bat of an eye, the lights flickered off and she stood alone in the dark of the night. Grabbing the stake on her desk, from sheer memory, she searched with her left hand for her lamp that was battery operative. Before she could turn the switch on, a breeze brushed against her arm and reflected back by the windbreaker sweat she wore. Inuyasha stood by the window, his hair flowing with the draft against his lightly tanned skin, his black sweats covering this bottom half. The vampire held a grim scowl on his face, his eyes didn't even dart around the room but was kept closed. "Naraku…" Kagome connected the name with the vampire that she met last night, but wasn't able to completely fill in the blanks with the relationship of his vampire with the other. "Get out of my room dog turd, I have business with someone else. And did you have to cut the electricity wire?" Kagome ridiculed, devoid of taking another look at him, she turned around, switching on the lamp, causing light to fill up the room. "What did you call we witch? And where is Naraku?" Inuyasha snarled, taking a shift movement toward the human, she was barely able to turn around, her arms in a cross in front of her chest, the stake in her right hand. He grabbed her throat, the other hand, securing her hands. Less then a second he took hold of her, his hands dropped to his side, his footing off balance. Kagome stood stunned by the rush of heat that darted from an unknown resource, remaining still, her eyes not blinking she stared into rich amber eyes that stared with such tender love directed at her.

"Precisely as I predicted." A menacing voice was heard behind them, its voice low with a it's usual haunting rumble. Naraku smiled at both of them, his eyes flickered at Kagome, and for a split second held a longing for the women he loved. Noticing the glint, the half vampire's blood boiled with flames, taking the stake from Kagome's hand, it was hauled, piercing Naraku deeply in his rib cage. Grabbing his reincarnated love, he hosted her in his arms and dived out side the window, although took damage on his back from Naraku's claws.

Naraku pulled the stake somewhat painlessly, he hollered outside the window. " Find him dead! But if you harm the girl, it will be your head on my table!"

_______________________

"Hey BITCH! Stop wiggling!" Inuyasha yelled, the wound healing up slowly, the wound itself length up to three inches into his back, every now and then Kagome caught him looking at her. "LET ME GO!" Kagome screamed at the vampire as he carried her like a foot ball. Losing his balance as he scaled from roof tops to roof tops, he hosted her on his shoulder, only that position caused more problems. Kagome didn't lost track about the fact that the night creature was not only a vampire but also a shape shifter by the little white ears on his head. "You stupid dog! Let me go!" with one of her hands free, she tightened her fist and slammed it across the vampire's face. Losing his pace, Inuyasha stumbled, but did a summersault with Kagome trying to brace herself by holding his hair. "YOU WRETCH! THE HELL YOU DOING!" Inuyasha hollered, halting inside a deserted parking lot, he dropped Kagome harshly against a wall of an empty building. 'She's nothing like her! She's NOTHING like Kikyou!' He pushed her against the wall, his eyes lit with frustration. Slamming both of his hands besides her head, preventing her from doing anything. "You want my blood! Then come get it! My blood will burn you!" Kagome yelled, not even sure if what the other vampire said was true. Inuyasha smirked, his long silky bangs shading his eyes. "Then let me taste your fire…" Inuyasha hissed, although he didn't have any intention of doing so and just wanted to scare her. 'God, that was such a cheap ass line…'

He lifted his head up, staring from her lips to her nose, then finally into night blue eyes. 'She's…nothing like her…' He thought, his hands lost its place from the wall, trailing against her soft skin, cupping her face. "Kikyou…" He whispered, thousands of sweet memories he tired so hard to bury over the many years of existence he lived without her. 'Why is it so hard for me to forget you…'

Kagome quivered as she felt his warm hand touch her face, the tips of his fingers tracing the side of his jaw, and his thumb circling around her lips. Her eyes watched his that reflected a passion she didn't want to see in the eyes of a night creature that was directed at her. Her heart grew an uneven pace, her hands beginning to sweat.

'You can't feel…' Kagome whispered to herself, her mind flashing an image of her father's body slathered to the ground, his figure lying in a pool of his own blood.

"Your kind can't feel compassion…" Kagome whispered, her lips firm with devotion of vengeance. Pressing a button connected to a device on her right arm, a wooden knife drew beneath from her wrist and forward past her finger tips. "YOU CAN'T FEEL!" She screamed, memories of her father's body still haunting her and two dark black eyes watching from behind her made her very bones shiver.

Inuyasha stood stunned as Kagome drew herself away, from the blade drips of blood fell to the ground. Stumbling back with a gash trailing across his chest going upward and cutting at his left cheek, he fell to his knees. The five parallel on his back reopened by the force that Kagome drove her blade, blood rippled from mostly his chest, but it was still imperceptible. Kagome watch his eyes draw out of his thoughts, her hands still gripping the short spear in her hand, his eyes were filled with a dampen lost of love. Gliding from his knelt location, he slide in front of her, one of his hand cover the deepest part of the gash on his chest. "Naraku…"
