A New Assignment
A young girl sat alone in a gazebo that was surrounded by a rose garden that only grew blue roses. She had wavy black hair that reached just past her butt. She was wearing a white dress shirt with a blue sailor's collar and cuffs. She was also wearing knee length, skin tight, navy blue shorts. White, mid-shin, socks with one blue stripe and blue ballet flats adorned her dainty feet. She was sitting at a simple black piano with her eyes closed. She was playing a slow song that seemed to hold a sadness in it while singing.
(AN:I don't own My Immortal, Evanescence does)
"I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all of my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me."
The young girl took a deep breath and let it out. She kept her eyes closed and her fingers lingered on the last key. She was often praised for her beautiful voice but no one could figure out why she only sang sad songs. She was the angel of love. She was supposed to be happy in heaven. She was happy most of the time but she had her moments. She heard a voice behind her say "Kagome why do you always sing such sad songs?"
Kagome's eyes slowly opened to reveal icy blue orbs that seemed to hold a sadness of their own accord. She turned to face the girl who spoke. The new girl had straight, waist length, dark brown hair that was in a high pony tail and light brown eyes. She was appeared to be older than Kagome by three years and was quite a bit taller. She was wearing mid thigh jean shorts with a loose white long sleeved shirt and nike shocks on her feet. She stood there looking at Kagome sadly.
Kagome said "Some see nature as beauty. Some see love as beauty. I see the heart's true feelings as beauty. I wrote my songs based on what I feel. How many times do I have to explain it to you. There always has been and always will be a sense of emptiness in my heart. Something telling me I'm incomplete. My songs help me express my inner emotions." Sango simply nodded her head. That was explaination Kagome always gave her.
She understood the sense of emptiness though. Her and the rest of the legendary angels and some ordinary ones they were friends with felt it. Though Sango was strong enough to not let it rule over her life. Then again she is the angel of strength. Kagome was very creative, caring, and loving. Though she always seemed to have a sadness about her and wrote sad songs. She refused to sing any songs she didn't write but no one cared since she had such a beautiful voice.
Sango closed her eyes and sighed before hearing the faint playing of a guitar. Kagome was skilled with all instruments so it was easy for her to write and perform her songs. She opened her eyes and saw Kagome had closed her own again and was getting ready to sing another song. Sango sat down on a bench near Kagome and listened while she sang.
(AN:I don't Going Under, Evanescence does)
"Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I'm dying again
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
I'm dying again
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe
I can't keep going under
I'm dying again
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
I'm going under
I'm going under."
Sango smiled and applauded her friend who in return opened her eyes and gave Sango a faint smile. Kagome put her guitar away and closed the piano keys before standing and stretching her arms of her head making her shirt lift and reveal her flat stomach. She reached a hand out to Sango who took it and they smiled before walking off to find Rin. The angel of joy and one of their best friends.
They finally found her sitting in a feild of daisies softly singing to herself. She had waist length black hair that was in a partial side ponytail with soft brown eyes. She was wearing mid thigh, skin tight, yellow shorts with a loose white tank top and yellow flip flops holding a daisy. Sadly they couldn't hear what she was singing. They walked up to her and smiled to which she smiled and stood. Sango whispered in Rin's ear "She wrote two more songs. I heard her sing both. We need to find something that makes her truly happy. I'm scared for her."
Rin nodded at Sango and Kagome looked confused while asking "What are you whispering about?" They both looked over to her and said "Nothing." Kagome simply shrugged and ran ahead to find Ayame. The angel of peace and another great friend of theirs. She finally found her sitting in a lawn chair staring at a calm swimming pool. She ran up to her smiling and said "Come on Aya. We have to find Amai and Keita." Ayame sighed while Kagome tugged on her wrists.
Ayame had mid back length fiery red hair that was up in high pig tails with emerald eyes and very faint freckles. She was wearing a white, silk, knee length skirt with a white form fitted tank top and white flip flops. Ayame finally gave in and stood when she saw Sango and Rin finally catching up. They continued walking all together until they came across the library where they knew Amai would be and Keita would most likely be with her.
They walked in and right away they noticed Amai sitting at a table reading with Keita sitting across from her listening to an ipod while he read. Amai had knee length, extremely light brown hair that was nearly tan in a loose braid and baby blue eyes with freckles. She was wearing a sky blue tank top with white capris and white ballet flats. She was the angel of wisdom and only came to the library to read for her own entertainment.
Keita was the angel of life and was Amai's best friend since before they came to heaven. They were always together- well almost always. Keita had medium length, shaggy, sandy blonde hair and gray eyes. He was wearing a baggy white t-shirt and black basketball shorts with white nikes. Kagome walked over to them and sat on the table and they looked up at her before closing their books and standing. Then they all proceeded to walk out of the library in silence so as to not disturb anyone.
Finally when they got outside Rin sighed dramatically and purposely fell backwards knowing Kagome would catch her while saying "How can anyone stand being that quiet!?" Kagome stood Rin back up and they all laughed lightly. Finally they arrived at the grand hall and looked at each other nervously before walking in. They went straight to the head angel, Kikyou's office. They walked in and Kikyou was sitting at her desk as usual. Kikyou looked alot like Kagome.
Kikyou had straight black hair that reached mid thigh with cold, calculating brown eyes. She was wearing your usual business suit and was staring intently at the six that just walked in. She had called for them and they wanted to know why. She looked them over a couple times comtemplating whether or not this was truly needed before deciding it was. She sighed and said "I need you six to go to earth for an assignment." They all gasped and Rin said "I thought ordinary angels could handle assignments."
Kikyou looked to her and said "Usually they can, but usually Naraku doesn't send out his best. I think this is his version of a challenge. Trying to say Hell is better and stronger than Heaven." Gasps were once again heard before Kagome said "Then we can't let them win." Kikyou nodded and said "Exactly what I was thinking. That's why I'm sending our best. You will also be taking a few people I've already chosen along just as they have. Your compainions will be Shippo, since he's in Kagome care. Souta since he's Kagome's brother and in her care. Kyou because he's your friend and pretty strong. Finally Kohaku since he's Sango's brother and in her care. You will leave tonight. Their assignment is to convert any angel we send against them so yours is to convert them. Got it?"
They all nodded and Kikyou simply said "Good. You are dissmissed." They all bowed slightly and left the building. Once outside Rin jumped infront of them and continued walking backwards while saying "I wonder who their best are." She looked at everyone and noticed they were all deep in thought. She sighed and thought 'I hate when they get like this.'
She smiled and jumped next to Kagome and clung to her arm. Rin looked to be sixteen but acted like a six year old most of the time. Kagome looked down at her new attatchment and smiled before turning back to stare ahead in thought. Kagome only looked to be seventeen and Rin often looked up to her. Amai sighed and leaned against Keita who just stared at her. Amai looked to be fifteen and Keita looked to be sixteen. He slipped an arm around her shoulders to help support her before staring ahead of himself in thought like Kagome.
Ayame looked to be twenty two and was one of the most mature of them. She looked around at everyone with her hands clasped behind her back. She sighed knowing a meteor could crash infront of them and they wouldn't care. Sango was too deep in thought and worrying about what could happen to Kohaku to pay attention to herself and tripped over a rock and started to fall. Right before she hit the ground she was caught. She looked up to see who caught her only to come face to face with Kagome who looked worried and had Rin clinging to her neck from behind.
Sango slowly steadied herself and said "Don't worry Kagome I'm fine. You know it's pretty cute how Rin always clings to you and looks up to you." Kagome simply nodded before patting Rin on the head. Rin giggled and clung to Kagome's arm again. Then before she knew it she had two new attatchments. She looked down at her leg and saw Shippo and at her waist and saw Souta. Shippo had rusty red hair and emerald eyes. He was wearing a blue t-shirt with black basketball shorts and black nikes. He looked to be eight years old.
Souta had brown hair and deep brown eyes. He was wearing jean shorts with a black t-shirt and white nikes. He looked to be twelve years old. She gave them both a smile before turning back ahead. They looked at each other confused and asked Rin "What's wrong with her?" Rin looked down at them and said "Did you hear about the assignment?" They both nodded and Shippo said "Everyone did."
Rin smiled and said "That's what is bugging everyone!Annoying ain't it?" The boys nodded before turning ahead just like Kagome so they wouldn't run into anything. Everyone had heard the conversation between Rin and the boys so they were going to pick up their partners and leave immediately. The demons might already be there and they had to stop them from reeking havoc on earth. Their first stop was Sango's house. They stopped outside and watched as Kohaku walked out in silence.
Kohaku had hair and eyes like Sango but he had freckles. He was wearing a gray t-shirt with jean shorts and black nikes. He looked to be thirteen and he and Souta are best friends. He walked up to Sango and clung to her waist just like Souta was doing to Kagome. Sango wrapped her arm around his shoulders before they continued on to Kyou's house. When they got there he came straight out with solid determination in his eyes.
He had shaggy black hair that reached his shoulder blades. He kept it in a low ponytail with violet eyes. He was wearing a black muscle shirt with black jean shorts and black nikes. He gave them a faint smile and appeared to be twenty five years old. He walked up to them and they started off on their walk to the grand hall to report to Kikyou. The walk was taken in silence.
Finally Kikyou called them in and said "The demons will be released when you leave so make sure you are cautious. I heard there will be three dogs, one cat, two bats, one wolf, one tiger, and two leopards. Be on guard at all times. They can appear like humans anytime they want. You only have slight differences between human form and angel form. Their differences are large. You are dissmissed." They all bowed and walked out of the grand hall. They stood at the gates to Heaven and watched as they slowly opened. They slowly walked out and watched the gates close before releasing their wings and flying down to earth without a second glance.
Inuyasha, the demon of destruction, sliced his claws through yet another demon ending it's pitiful afterlife. He stared at his blood covered claws for a second before smirking and licking some of the blood off. He lowered his hand and prepared himself to attack another unforunate demon but right before he could pounce he was grabbed by the collar. He growled and turned to come face to face with his little sister Aiko, the demon of death. He stopped growling and sighed. He could never hurt his sister unlike his brother.
Inuyasha appeared to be twenty and had waist length silver hair and silver puppy ears on his head with golden eyes. He was wearing black sweats with a red muscle shirt and no shoes. He is very violent and hateful. Aiko smiled at her brother and tugged on one of his puppy ears while saying "Naraku called for all of us." Inuyasha simply nodded.
Aiko had ankle length silver hair that looked like the end was dipped in ink and black puppy ears with silver tips. Her eyes were golden with specks of light brown and hazel and she was very petite. She appeared to be sixteen years old. She had her hair down with a skin tight black tank top that stopped about three or four inches below her breasts. Along with that she wore red capris and red ballet flats. She is very sweet but also has a temper and is extremely protective.
They walked all the way to Naraku's lair in complete silence. Finally they reached the room he was in where they met up with the other legendary demons. They all walked in and Naraku smirked while saying "Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and Aiko children of the great dog demon Lord Inutaisho. Kouga prince of the wolf demon tribe. Miroku prince of the leopard demon tribe. Keichi, second born prince of the leopard demon tribe. Also known as Inuyasha, the demon of destruction, Sesshoumaru, the demon of knowledge, Aiko, the demon of death. Kouga, the demon of chaos, Miroku, the demon of pain, and Keichi, the demon of suffering."
"You are all gathered here because you are being given an assignment. Whatever angels Heaven sends in response to your departure it does not matter. Your job is to convert them. Though I have a feeling they'll be sending their best along with some friends and family. You all will be going along with a few other demons you know. They could prove well as distractions for the guests the angels are bringing. You will be bringing Shiroi and her elder sister Hitomi of the bat demons. Keiko of the cat demons. Along with Kisa of the tiger demons. Good luck. You are dissmissed."
They all bowed before leaving. As soon as they got out their guests arrived. Inuyasha smirked and said "Yes! I've been itching for some action! Things have been so boring around here lately!" Everyone looked at him as if he were insane. Afterall rebellions were breaking out constantly as of late and yet here he was saying it was boring. Aiko simply sighed and said "You are so iggnorant." Inuyasha glared and said "I am not iggnorant!"
Aiko looked at him skeptically and said "What does iggnorant mean?" He looked utterly confused and said "I don't know but I ain't it!" Aiko glared before smacking him in the back of the head and saying "Iggnorant is another word for stupid, dumbass!" Everyone laughed and Inuyasha just fumed. Finally they got to a good spot and were gone in a flash.
When they appeared they all changed their appearances so they looked human. Inuyasha's silver hair turned black and his golden eyes turned midnight blue along with recieving normal human ears instead of puppy ears. Sesshoumaru's mid-thigh silver hair also turned black and his golden eyes turned brown he even got normal ears. Also his demon markings dissappeared and he was wearing a black muscle shirt with black denim jeans and black nikes. He appeared to be twenty-five.
Aiko's hair turned completely black and her puppy ears dissappeared to be replaced with human ears while her eyes became completely hazel. Kouga didn't have a big difference. His pointed ears turned into normal human ears while his tail dissappeared. He still had his baby blue eyes and long black hair and was wearing a brown muscle shirt with blue jeans and nikes. He looked to be twenty-three. Miroku's black hair stayed the same in it's rat tail and his pale blue eyes stayed the same. The only difference was his ears became normal and he lost his tail and markings. He was wearing a purple button up shirt and black slacks. He looked to be twenty.
Keichi's violet hair became black and his glowing blue eyes became pale like Miroku's. His ears became normal and he lost his markings and tail. He was was wearing a white button up shirt with dark blue slacks. He looked to be sixteen. Shiroi's usually lavendar colored knee length hair turned dirty blonde and her silver eyes turned sky blue. Her ears became normal and she lost her markings. She was wearing a black sundress with her hair in two french braids with black sandals. She appeared to be nine.
Hitomi's usually violet mid-shin length hair turned a dirty blonde just like Shiroi's and her silver eyes also turned sky blue. Her ears turned into human ears and her markings dissappeard. She was wearing black capris with a black form fitted tank top with black flip flops. Her hair was also in two french braids. She appeared to be fourteen. Keiko's mid-back length gray hair turned light brown and her glowing golden eyes turned into a stormy gray. Her slit pupils also became normal just as her ears had. Her markings faded away. She was wearing a knee length black silk skirt with a gray form fitted tank top and black ballet flats. She looked to be twenty-two.
Last was Kisa. She got to keep her short orange hair and long forelocks with bangs. Her usually glowing red eyes became blue-green and her markings went away along with her pointed ears. She was wearing faded blue jean capris with on orange form fitted tank top and white ballet flats. She appeared to be fifteen years old. They all examined their changes before decided they didn't look half bad this way. Kisa whined and they all looked to her and she said "I miss my tail!" They looked at her oddly before turning back to the city.
They took a deep breath and walked on into Tokyo. They stayed close together the whole time and Shiroi clung tightly to Hitomi's leg since she didn't want to get seperated from her older sister. They continued walking until they came across a park and were all frozen in their spot. Right there was a group of happy people that ranged from age eight to age twenty-five by the looks of it.
Inuyasha couldn't stop staring at one of the girl's who looked to be seventeen. While Sesshoumaru was having the same problem with one who looked to be sixteen. Kouga couldn't tear his eyes away from one that looked like she was twenty-two. Miroku was stuck on a girl who was close too the other three girls and looked like she was nineteen. Shiroi was staring at the youngest of the group while her sister was staring at one that looked to be twelve. Aiko was mesmorized by a boy that looked like he was sixteen and Keichi was stuck on on that looked to be only fifteen.
Keiko was entranced by one who looked to be twenty-five while Kisa was staring at one that looked like he was thirteen. The group of demons exchanged looks as if contemplating whether or not to approach the group. They finally decided they should find somewhere to live first so they all sighed and walked away. While they were passing Inuyasha stole another glance at the girl who had caught his attention and ended up locking eyes with her. He smirked before turning back around and continuing.
The group landed at a park in Tokyo and pulled their wings back in. They quickly looked around to make sure no one saw and that they were all there. They let out a sigh of relief and Sango said "First order of business!Where do we live...?" Everyone looked at another person expectantly but came up with nothing. Kagome decided to speak up "First we need jobs so we can pay for somewhere to live." She noticed they were looking for her guidance since they hadn't been to earth in such a long time they forgot how to do things but Kagome visited frequently. She sighed and said "What are we good at?" Sango said "I'm good with fighting!" Kagome looked to her and said "You can teach at a dojo or do private lessons."
Then Rin said "I'm good at sticking to you!"Kagome sighed and said "Fine you'll be my assistant with whatever I do." Then Ayame said "I'm good at helping people." Kagome stared at her and said "Counselor." Amai said "Anything knowledable." Kagome looked in thought before saying "Teacher or scientist. Scientist pays better." Amai nodded and Kyou said "Sports." Kagome nodded and said "Gym and team coach. A professional athlete travels too much." Keita sighed and said "Organization." Kagome nodded and said "Manager. Also Shippo, Kohaku, and Souta will be attending school. Now what should I do?"
Everyone immediately shouted "Singer!" She sighed and said "Whatever. Okay to keep some of us together Keita will be my manager while Rin is my assistant. Ayame should be a councelor at the local middle school while Kyou does the coaching at the high school. Amai it would be great if you could be an elementary school teacher. I'll stick to local singing gigs and Sango should work at the local dojo until we buy a house then she can do private lessons. Are we agreed?" Everyone nodded and she smiled at them before everyone went into little groups to talk.
Ayame, Rin, Kagome, and Sango all sat next to a fountain. Amai and Keita sat on a bench next to the fountain watching Shippo, Kohaku, and Souta. Kyou was sitting on the ground infront of Amai and Keita's bench watching the kids as well. Suddenly a group of people showed up and they ignored them for the most part but glanced from the corner of their eyes. Each of them was entranced by one of the people but couldn't afford distractions.
When they started walking away Kagome finally gave herself an incentive and stared at a boy with long black hair and midnight blue eyes. He chose then to turn back and their eyes locked briefly before he smirked and turned around. If he had looked for a moment longer her would've seen her blush. Kagome took a deep breath and let it out before going back to her conversation with the girls.
