Whispers in the Dark
Chapter 1
Kaori
The damp ground was blanketed by a heavy mist only to be disturbed by the quiet shuffling of an old woman's footsteps. As the old women glided through the mist a shudder ran up her spin as she slowly approached an ancient shrine. "Kaede," the old women turned her head to meet the voice that called out to her.
"Sister," Kaede greeted the dead priestess, Kikyou. Kikyou smiled kindly as she turned away from her sister, walking into the shrine. Kaede followed Kikyou into the collapsing shrine and watched quietly as Kikyou lit a torch on the wall. "Why are ye here, sister Kikyou?" Kaede asked her voice shaking from the cold.
"It's funny how magnificent this shrine once was, but now look at it. A mess," Kikyou spoke before kneeling down to pay her respects to the deity the shrine housed. "Kaede, you as well as I, know why I am here," Kikyou said to her sister, finally facing Kaede. Kaede looked suspicious at Kikyou before nodding.
"I feel it too. The Goddess will reawaken soon," Kaede spoke with more resolve as she walked up besides her sister. Kikyou nodded in agreement as her sister and she looked onward at the sculptured deity before them.
Sesshomaru watched as the dead priestess and the older woman walked into the shrine, the wind blowing frigidly across his face. The winter night shrouded him in total darkness as he walked back to the camp which his servants were waiting for him.
Thud! "Owe," a girl groaned as she reached out for the bed next to her. Finally reaching the bed she quickly lifted herself up and crawled slowly back into the bed.
"Don't even think about it Kaori," an edgy voice threatened. Another groan escaped the girl's mouth as she retreated from her warm bed and looked at the other woman in the room. The other woman was dressed in a pressed black and gold uniform, her hair pristinely done. Her soft skin simmered in the morning light.
"Kiyoshi, its 7 o'clock," Kaori whined looking at the older woman. Unlike Kiyoshi, Kaori was not dressed in a uniform, but in her green and white boxers and in her white sports bra. Her hair was also a mess from sleeping the night before. Kiyoshi rolled her eyes as she looked the younger girl up and down.
"Exactly, you need to be at school at 8:30 and that's with dropping Mika off and meeting Kagome," Kiyoshi stated-matter-of-factly before she left the room. Kaori sighed as she ignored Kiyoshi and started to crawl back into her comfy bed, but was thwarted by Kiyoshi once again. "Don't even think about getting back into that bed!"
"Damn it," Kaori exasperated as she stepped away from her bed and made her way into the bathroom across the hall. As she opened the door she caught sight of herself. "Oh that's lovely," Kaori started her shower, letting the steam roll across her body as she undressed, letting her pajamas fall to the floor.
Steam filled the room as Kaori slowly unwound in the shower as the hot water rolled down her skin. "Sissy?" she smiled when she heard her little brother call out for her.
"Yeah Mika?" Kaori called back.
"Can I come in" Kaori giggled at her innocent brother. Kaori quickly turned off her relaxing shower, grabbed a towel as her brother slowly opened the bathroom door. "Morning Sissy," Mika greeted. Kaori smiled back as she looked at her brother. He was small for a four year old, only 3ft 2' tall, but his cubby face, light brown hair, and exotic blue eyes made up for it.
"Morning Mik," Kaori smiled again. Her brother could always make her day, even in the morning. He was her bright star in the dark night. "How did you sleep?" Mika shrugged as he wondered his way over to the sink and grabbed his toothbrush. Kaori's smile quickly disappeared as she looked at the clock on her bathroom counter.
"What the hell is going on up here?" a husky voice yelled over the scream that had just broken through the apartment. Mika popped his head around the corner of the bathroom wall, smiling as he spotted a 5 foot 7, mousy brown hair, brown eyed Maro. Maro grinned as he walked past Mika, patting his head on the way past him, as he walked towards Kaori's room, only to be knocked over by a frantic girl running as if the house was on fire.
"I'm going to be so late! Kagome is going to be pissed!!" Kaori groaned as she shot down the stairs, grabbing her backpack on the way out. Kiyoshi rolled her eyes as she walked towards the door and opened it to let the frenzied girl back into the apartment. "Mika, come on!" Kaori hollered as her brother ran down stairs to meet her at the door.
Kagome watched the clock as she packed her already over-stuffed yellow backpack. It had been two weeks since she was last in the feudal era and Inuyasha had been here about eight times trying to get her to come back sooner; it just made her stay longer. She had been so ticked off at Inuyasha that she left early and stayed later.
Kagome sighed as she realized she had a trigonometry test that morning and Kaori was most likely on her way to get her for it. "Well I guess this post pones things," Kagome sighed again as she started to unpack her backpack.
"What are you doing?" a shiver ran down her spine as his rough voice reached her ears.
"I have a test Inuyasha and I can't skip this one," Kagome explained as she turned to face the hanyou. Inuyasha snorted as he went towards her bed, Kagome shook her head laughing as she resumed unpacking her backpack. Inuyasha eyed Kagome curiously.
"What's so funny?" asked Inuyasha. Kagome laughed again.
"Nothing," she replied. Inuyasha glared as she kept on laughing.
"Tell me," he coaxed. Kagome turned to face him.
"It's nothing really," Inuyasha snorted again as he faced away from her. Kagome rolled her eyes, finally finished getting everything ready. "Inuyasha," Kagome got his attention, his ears perked up to hear what she was going to tell him, "I'll be back around four, so please don't do anything stupid if you stay and wait for me," Kagome pleaded.
"Yeah, as if I'm going to wait for that long," stated Inuyasha as he walked towards her window, Kagome smiled as she turned to her bedroom door, ready to met Kaori. "Wait," Kagome stopped mid-step as Inuyasha grabbed her arm.
"What is it?" She was curious know, but alert, ready for anything. He didn't answer. Annoyed, Kagome wiggled her way out of his grip and started for the door again, but was stopped by Inuyasha once more. "Inuyasha, what the hell is it?" Kagome grew more annoyed; she was going to be late. "Inuyasha, answer me!" Inuyasha growled as he pulled Kagome towards her bed; Kagome's eyes got wide. "Umm…Inuyasha?" her answer was Inuyasha pushing her onto her bed while he walked to her window. Kagome started to get up.
"Stay there Kagome. I'll be right back," Inuyasha sniffed the air, growled and then jumped out her window; Kagome glared at the empty place and purposely getting up to find him.
Kagome was halfway down the stairs when Souta came running up them to get her. "Inuyasha and Kaori are going at it! Come on!" Souta shouted as he reached his hand out to grab his sister's hand, but he was just grabbing air, Kagome had already run past him and was out the door.
"Inuyasha what the hell are you doing?!" Kagome yelled when she saw Inuyasha growling at Kaori and Kaori ready to go at him at a moment's notice. They didn't answer her. "Inuyasha! Kaori!" Kagome tried again, no answer. The movement was slow to Kagome, but it was lightening fast. Kaori jumped at Inuyasha with her fists out, Inuyasha ducted grabbed her arm and twisted it around backwards.
They didn't stay in that position for long. Kaori, with her arm twisted and held by Inuyasha, she did the best move she knew to get out of it. Slamming her other elbow into Inuyasha's stomach and twisting free. Moving quickly Kaori got another blow in, punching him across the face. Inuyasha growled louder as he tackled Kaori to the ground, Kaori kicked him in the stomach and flipped back onto her feet. Inuyasha was up faster than Kagome had seen when he was fighting humans. He was serious. He went for another strike, this time hitting his target and getting Kaori in the gut. "SIT!!" Kagome screamed sending Inuyasha into the ground.
So it's not as BAM as the last first chapter was, but I'm getting there. Yes this is the first chapter of the revision. I hope you like it and I understand it's kinda boring and Sesshomaru isn't really in it, but trust me I'm getting there! laugh
