Chapter 1
Long after Kagome, Inuyasha Sango and Miroku believed that the Jewel of four souls had disappeared forever, a young girl, half a millennia later walked the streets of Tokyo, her violet eyes searching the book stores for something even she herself was not aware of.
Her long black hair cascaded down her back as she threw her head back in frustration in a loud growl. Her cold glare turned toward everyione who stared, they instantly looked away. There was something about her that simply seemed to indimidate people. Her eyes fell as she realized that the woman at the counter was displeased with her, the girls eyes falling to reveal a slight red line above her lashes, a birthmark that had been there since before she could remember, her mother didn't have it, however her great grandmother possessed the strange eyes.
She sighed defeated as she purchased a book of legends from the shelf and walked home. She was alone now, her mother and father having died recently in a burning structure. No one knew what'd caused the spark, but everyone believed thy'd sinned and angered the gods for unknown reasons.
"Sangokuki!" a boy called, she turned her eyes saddened, a light smile on her face.
"Souta! Is your sister ill again?" she asked as he grabbed hold of her hand, he was only four years younger than she.
"hu, oh yea, mama and gramps went off to some resort, can I stay with you please?" he begged. His eyes of chocolate ringing out to her in a small plea for company.
"I odn't see why not, you tend to drop in anyway." She laughed. Her thoughts drifted to the day
Like souta, Sangokuki had been told the legends of the Shikon Jewel. Her heart fluttered at the mention of it.
She knew grandpa Higurashi well, and stayed for the legends of the half demon and the love he shared with the powerful priestess, and her reincarnation. She knew how Kikiyou *she named her* was the first to love Inuyasha, and their story of betrayal, and how *Kagome* was the lovely reincarnation who came to love him regardless of whatever happened, and so they were together forever more, after the "correct wish" as grandpa Higurashi called it, had been made.
She was proud of her secrets, she remembered once that she wished apron a star, lonely in the night sky among the constellations that she would one day be given the power to protect those few dear to her, as she had never been able to warn her mother and father of the disturbing feelings that led to the flame.
On her fifteenth birthday she could feel a new aura from her, pure and balanced, she'd joined the archery club, though no matter how lonely or crowded, no one saw the blue light that surrounded her arrows and disintegrated the arrow. She could since it's destructive purifying power, though never knew exactly wehre it originated. She'd liked to have believed it was from the lonely stare in the sky, but there was still something else that made her wonder. She remembered after her parent's passing, a nighmare which surrounded her in darkness and death, many creatures of distruction, if she'd have to name them something, it would be demon. Yes many demons were attacking her, however at the same time it wasn't her. a bright light flashed before her and she was herself again, invisible to people looking at a strange jewel, a jewel tht looked so much like Grandpa's replica of the jewel. She watched them carry it to a priestess, Sangoku barely remembered anything after that, but only to the betrayal of the two lovers. She knew the story by heart, but she was later faicnated how accurate her dream had been.
But it wasn't over yet, id' been returned to the half demon she again named "inuyasha' however he was bitter and changed, more guarded than before, this eventually changed as different memories or thoughts flached before her eyes as kikiyo's reincarnation struck the jewel.
A light flashed again, fading into a horrific seen of death and gore. Sangokuki watched as a boy killed his entire family and practically his onw sister, the soul survivors of this masicor, however pain was made, as she looked into her own face as the girls brother struck her.
None of this made sence, everything was melding into eahother, she barely had time to connect images, but she finaly looked into her one eyes, however fainly familiar the face was, she still could not place it. The eys belonged to a man a monk who accompanied the woman with her face. She realized that she looked ike them, however this couldn't be possible, and this detail and fither connection was later forgotten with other things.
And so Sangokuki followed Souta to her home, a traditional stile house nestled atop a hill, surrounded by trees and away from the hustle and bustle of cars ad chatting gossip of people.
She hadn't realized how fast time had gone, or if it never existed hwne she checkt the clock to find it was nearly half past ten, Souta had already eaten and gone off to bed, souta's sister was cared for by world renound physisions round the clock, and they had her number if ever needed it, though it would be hard to understand the relationship, she'd never even met his sister.
"oh well time for bed." She stretched herself and settled under a thick blanket. Admireing the ancient weapon apon her wall, her father said that it was from her great, great and firther on ancestor. He said that when he met Sangokuki's grandmother had given it to him as a gift of acceptance into the family. He'd told her that it was called Hirakotsu or 'the bone that flies back. However as to what bone, she did not know. Though at times of extream boardom, she'd go into the forest and pay with it, even to a digree of using it as a woodcutter, what with it's ability to split trees and protect from fallking dibre.
Shed done it enug times to be rather skilled at the object she favored. Ther was a scertain connection she held with it, at times believed it was alive and would sit beside it in times of loneliness.
She was about to open her book when the phone rang, her heart lept as she ran and tripped over multiple pieces of furniture hidden in the shadow, worried over the condition of the secret higurashi.
"Heloo?" she held her breath.
"sangokuki?" a female voice called.
"yes?" she didn't want to assume the voice, her mind was too numb to place the name.
"it's Miaka Sukinami, is everything all right? Taka said you fainted in gym today."
Sangokuki blinked, she hadn't remembered that, but then why should she? She'd be unconscious if she fainted. Or was her dream that she thought was so long ago more recent.
"yes Mrs. Sukinami, I'm fine, tell your husband I'm all right, I think I was just tired, I had the strangest dream today, it seemed to last forever, thank you for your concern thougn, really I'll be there tomorrow." Sangoki said pleasantly. She held her breath again, hering a voice in the background
"tell her to stay home, I don't want another incident like today, I'm not going to call the hospital." It was Taka.
"I think that's a good idea, Sangokuki, stay home, you can recover your work later, really. We both wish you well." Miaka smiled and waited for her to respond.
"um, oh, thank you, if you both insist, tae care of Hikarin."
The call was happily over before Sangokuki fell comfortably asleep on the sofa with a blanket draped over her. in her hand, rested the book, not the book of legends Sangokuki intended, but another book that'd traveled from hand to hand, breining faith and love together
THE UNIVERSE OF THE FOUR GODS.
