Disclaimer: I do not practice the art of necromancy, nor condone it. I am only good at search engines. I do not own Inuyasha. Neither do you.
A new way for Inuyasha to need Kagome besides the jewel...
Necromancy is something that has been passed down for generations as a fable, and experiment never to be had.
"Let the dead sleep," they had said. Sleep indeed.
There was always a search for power and control over the dead was one of the cruelest.
Imagine after finally accepting your lover was dead, after moving on, the necromancer beseeches you for land, money, control, etc, in exchange for your lover to rise from her grave, six feet below. It was pure maliciousness to taunt poor mortals with that which could never be true, and yet somehow, it WAS true.
Yes, groups of them congregate beneath the very soil that they grow the dead like flowers. Constantly looking for talent among their ranks and outside them as well, they lure people with dreams; Dreams of loved ones, of knowledge, of power and strength.
The entrances were always concealed in some way, a well, beneath floor boards, under the very skin of the earth, they hid.
No, the art was not that of puppetry, but that of something akin to mind control, soul control. Stillborn babes are brought to them to increase their ranks, or to write up a contract with the babes' mothers. Mutations are "treated" by forging the parts with that of the dead.
Humans will always try to chase after their happiness. But happiness is only temporary.
Kagome Higurashi was about to discover just how inviting the offer of necromancy was.
And just how horrid being "The Messenger" could be.
All right, so this idea came from thinking about kikyo and how it was just so sad the way she died. I then thought of kagome who had to deal with everyone's problems. Well, what about her father? Did he die? With all the resurrection stories in Inuyasha, you'd think that someone would try and corrupt Kags with temptations of bringing her beloved father back to life or at least for her to meet the man who was her father for 5 seconds.
Lets all pray that embalming fluid doesn't make one go insane. Or better yet, maybe it DOES.
Anyways, I'd love some help if anyone is willing to offer, this is bound to become a bit morbid.
