To Be Continued
Chrysolite Heart
A/N: I know how long it's been since I've written a story and I know my other story (Using Love) is on hold right now (which I usually don't do), but I really felt the need to write this story. I've received a lot of requests for another Sess/Kik fic so… here it is! However, unlike Waiting for You, this one is going to be set back in Inuyasha-world after the Final Act. I'm going to try and keep everyone mostly in-character (thought you will definitely be meeting a new Kikyo) so this one's going to be tough. Let me know what you think!
Chapter 1
Pound. Pound. Pound. She might as well have hit her head against brick wall. With a moan she turned and sharp razor of pain cut through. She furrowed her brow, slowly opening her eyes. Where am I? A wooden ceiling stared down at her.
"She's awake."
"Let me see!"
"Careful, your wounds haven't completely healed yet."
Kikyou turned her head to face her speakers. A woman and two men looked back at her. She closed her eyes for a moment and then looked again. They were still there. Her throat felt dry as she opened her mouth to speak.
"Who…who are you?" Her voice was barely above a whisper. One of the men stood up and grinned.
"Welcome to The Guild."
And that's how it all began.
"That girl learns faster than anything I've ever seen," Ryuu remarked. The long scar along the left side of his face became crooked as he grinned. Long strands of raven hair intertwined with two silver blades flew past him.
"Her name might mean 'bell flower', but that one's deadly," another voice chimed in. Ryuu glanced over at his second-in-command, Itsuki, with a smirk.
"Kikyou! That's enough for today." Ryuu called. Kikyou stopped in her tracks, panting. She quickly sheathed her twin swords and began to approach him.
"She's perfect, don't you think?" Itsuki asked, crossing his arms.
"Yup, perfect." Ryuu replied as Kikyou approached.
"You're not half bad," Ryuu said, placing a hand on Kikyou's shoulder. Kikyou resisted the urge to flinch. "I think you're ready." Kikyou glanced up to meet Ryuu's gaze.
"Ready?" Kikyou echoed.
"We're sending you on your first op." Kikyou cocked her head to one side. "Don't worry; it'll be a piece of cake. We need you to gather some intel on a certain someone."
"Oh? Who is it?" Kikyou asked. Ryuu's mouth turned into a half smile.
"The man who killed our master. I'm sure you've heard his name around the guild by now, haven't you?" Ryuu replied. Kikyou looked at him doubtfully.
"Sesshomaru?" she whispered. The other half of Ryuu's smile came to light and he placed a hand atop Kikyou's head, leaning down towards her.
"Sesshomaru."
A/N: R&R! Tell me what you thought!
