Hello reader! My name is Niki and you are welcome to read the story if you like... I won't do a huge long monologe... this time. ;P
This takes place near the end of the Bleach series. It would be around episode 254. So if you haven't seen it you should be able to find a good player on but they may have taken down the good player! ^_^
Disclaimer: I do not own ANYTHING! Except the plot, and the clever characters I somehow manage to come up with XD
Seimei No Nazo
Chapter 1: The Riddle Begins.
Dear Kit,
She of the tiger...
I have heard them all my life. The voices of many different people, singing a strange song, a song that sounds more like a riddle.
...must be freed...
They sing in pairs; one male, one female. No exceptions, and if I listen hard enough, I understand the true message. Then, I always forget it when I wake.
Give her space and...
I think they are calling me 'She of the Tiger', but I don't know If I'm actually the one they are refering to!
... fill her need.
It starts off every line with the same words "She of the tiger" What's that even suppose to mean? Sounds like a spooky old curse to me!
She of the tiger...
There is a pattern to it as well, they says she's afraid every other line, but I'm confused... what's she afraid of?
... is afraid...
Anyway, personally I think it's just some weird dream I always have, but MOTHER says it's a 'sign' As if I'd understand what that means!
...Of what you ask...
I don't think I really understand anything anymore, this whole thing with Inuyasha... it's left me so confused! What am I suppose to do? How am I suppose to react, is there some secret to love, something I'm totally missing out on?
... the secrets made...
I feel like he doesn't even like me anymore, it's more like he's leading me on to believe he likes me just so I'll help him with the jewel shards!
She of the tiger...
Is that really what is going on? Is he simply using me for his own twisted need? As if I wouldn't help him if he didn't love me. Which as I said, I'm doubting. He sneaks off every night, thinking I don't see it.
...cannot win...
He goes to see her, Kikyo. He's become so distant lately, as if he's forgotten me entirely. Sango tries to comfort me, and I pretend it doesn't bother me, but... I just love him you know? I can't not love him and pretend it's nothing!
... Until she learns...
Maybe I'm just not good enough for him, maybe I don't deserve him.
... to love again...
Love Ya,
Kagome
Today was just getting worse and worse.
It had started off normal enough, Inuyasha had come screaming through the well and tried to force her back into the Fuedal Era, nothing out of place there right?
Then, her mother had sided with Inuyasha talking about her duty, still the norm.
However, what he neglected to tell her was the village was being attacked by Naraku and his demons, and worse off Kagome's bow and arrows were in Kaede's house.
Sadly enough the house had already been demolished by the time Kagome got there, so she had no weapon.
Then, Kikyo showed up and got herself into a life or death situation, so naturally Inuyasha left Kagome's side and allowed her to do whatever she pleased.
Of course Kagome had tried to run to Sango, who was screaming for her to get behind her. But of course a large blue Oni had to get in front of her and swipe it's claw out... decapitating her.
She had then appeared inside the Shikon Jewel, which she found out after Midoriko appeared next to her, sweating and bleeding, and explained that she wasn't Kikyo's reincarnation, but Midoriko herself's reincanation.
This would have been all rosy and dandy if they hadn't been surrounded by demon's and if Midoriko hadn't gone on what Kagome could only call a lunch break.
Anyway, here she was unarmed and surrounded by the biggest demons she had EVER seen and after some consideration, she decided she didn't wish to die... again.
So, she began to fight the monsters and found out she had some pretty cool new powers! Haha! Fire, Ice, Earth, Energy, Water, you name the element and it was totally responding to her!
She let out a girlish squeal. "Thanks Midoriko-sama!" She had called, obviously believing said woman had 'lent' her the power.
She then continued to slaughter anything that dared get close enough to her. Midoriko finally came back, and watched in awe to see Kagome taking a breather while the demons began to once again manifest around her.
"There is something I had yet to inform you of our soul." Midoriko said quietly, as if guilty.
Kagome stared at her curiously. "This soul of ours is not of this world. It is not what one would call 'human'."
Kagome's brow wrinkled. "If I- we aren't human what are we called?"
Midoriko sighed. "They call us Akuma no yoso, or Demonic Element they believe our existance is that of a possessed element."
Kagome raised an eybrow. "I don't understand, why couldn't I use these powers before?"
Midoriko smiled. "Like I said, we are not of that world, in this new world we have entered we may use of powers as we please."
Kagome blinked. "What world have we entered exactly?"
"It's an alternate universe, the Jewel immediately transports whoever is unlucky enough to be trapped inside of it, into this world.
The world of Humans, Soul Reapers, and Hollows. Even in this world we can never be accepted for what we are. Akuma no yoso will be accepted in no place, it is our curse." Midoriko explained.
Kagome gulped. "So, we're stuck here? I can never get back?"
Midoriko smiled once again. "You will live in this world, and you'll fit in nicely. The jewel only needs one preistest. I have chosen to stay, you shall leave and live a peaceful life.
The jewel had decided to put you in one of the three planes. The Hueco Mundo, I hope you may live a happy life there Kagome."
Kagome blanched. "Wait what do you mean three planes?"
"In this new world there are 3 different planes the different species reside in the first is Earth. The second is the Soul Society, and lastly there is Hueco Mundo."
Kagome nodded absorbing the information. "Where do the human's live?"
Midoriko froze. "I'm afraid I'm not aware of that detail, besides the jewel isn't going to back down and take you to another place, let's just hope you get into the right section of this world."
She grew very serious. "Take heed child, you will not have these powers once you are out in that world, you must discover them on your own, only once you have found the man that will tie you to that world, shall you become able."
Kagome's eyes grew big. "I have to find some guy to help me?"
Midoriko cracked a smile. "Not just some guy Kagome, you must discover your soul mate. This task seems easy, but it will be taxing. After all, it is not everyday you discover a man who does not age."
Kagome's eyes grew even larger as she fought back a gasp. "What do you mean find a guy that doesn't age! That's stupid!"
Midoriko stared back at her intently. "Is it now, I must say I shouldn't be surprised, after all the time spent inside the jewel passes in a blur... do you have any idea how long you've been fighting the demons? How long it took me to convince the jewel to let you out?"
Kagome gulped. What could she be getting at? "... No?"
Midoriko smiled kindly back at her. "You've been here 700 years. After you've entered the jewel, you can no longer age."
That is where Kagome's misfortune came to a true beginning.
When the jewel dropped her off, it was in a barren desert of sorts, and she was surrounded by the most terrible of creatures.
They had to be at least 100 meters tall, surrounded completely by black cloaks, all that could be seen of them was a white mask, long claws, and the sharp spikes that proturded from what should have been their shoulders, then making a full circle.
Kagome gulped when they stared down at her hungrily. Come on! Why'd it have to be here!
She squeaked and backed away in fear when something red began to gather in one of the monster's mouths.
"Oh great!" She snarled sarcastically jumping out of the way as a beam of light incinerated the spot she had once been in.
20 years in the future.
Kagome heard what sounded like a groan coming from the giant beings around her.
She had to admit, looking down at herself, she looked like hell had come and burned her to bits, then added water to the mix.
Covered in sweat and grime, her school uniform once calming green and spotless white was filthy, now a rusted green and a dirty brown.
Kagome sighed. When will this nightmare end?
The beings groaned again, before a crack began to make it's way into the sky of Hueco Mundo.
The giant organisms turned and began to reach ofr the crack groanin gas they did so, the crack was getting larger and larger. Kagome could now see green trees and a blue sky on the other side.
Could this finally be my way out? Longing filled her, at the prospect of her finally being able to escape to another, better place.
She ran forward climbing one of the dark cloaks, not that it noticed, she was probably like a misceto, compared to it especially with the lack of food and water, the jutting out of her ribs didn't exactly look healthy.
Kagome got about waist length before she relaxed for a tiny while in a crease of the robe, resting up for the rest of the climb.
Starting out again a moment later she noticed that this time she wouldn't even have to climb! The giant hand... Kagome bit her lip. I know I can make it!
She jumped and landed on it's sleeve, right above the wrist. The hand continued reaching for the crack, which had now stopped growing.
Kagome gasped in pain as lights of many different colors began to shrink the crack. She reached out for it, so close to being freed.
Kagome got ready to jump, when on cue the large cloaked thing finally realized she was clinging to it, and annoyed flicked its wrist like a human would to get a fly to leave.
The combined force from her jump and his... flick of the wrist sent her flying through the crack, not a second before it closed.
Kagome began to gradually not off in mid air, the adreniline was gone she no longer had the energy to care how far away the ground was.
Nor to realize she'd been caught by a pair of strong arms.
