New starlight falling
By Chikara-Yuy
Kagome ran she glided swiftly and agilely through the trees.
For her, it was easy now. For two years she had been coming to the fedual era she had trained with Kaede, she could now use the bow and arrow more efficiently than ever, she learned how to do most of the things that Kaede herself said took her years to learn. Sango had even trained her in basic weapons, Kagome favored the sword and bow the most though. She had also trained with an old friend of Sango's that taught her how to use ninja based weapons which Kagome enjoyed a lot.
Kagome only a month ago had finished the jewel, but now she had finished her training, now she could leave.
Inuyasha had long ago chosen Kikyo, and had left this world for the next. Kikyo had(though unwillingly) given back Kagome the part of her soul she had kept. Sango and Miroku had come to terms as his hand was free of the wind tunnel but not of its lecherous fingers. Kagome smiled as she remembered her last threat on the monk. She had told no matter what barrier or no she would come back and make sure his way of 'having children' would say goodbye if he pulled another lecherous stunt again.
Miroku had gone pale at her words but had promised.
Kagome knew he would keep it, for he loved Sango to death.
Kagome burst into the clearing which held the well. She looked back at the village which was still in view though, far off enough none could see her. After Inuyasha had gone she had stayed to continue her training, and Kaede had taken on another apprentice that could stay in her place if Kaede died.
Kagome then turned to the well. She wore the shikon no tama around her neck the pale pink jewel glittering in the sunlight. Kagome stepped onto the edge of the well and jumped in disappearing into swirling blue magic.
Kagome landed on her feet on the other side of the well. She climbed out and smoothed her priestess robes. Once that was done she walked out of the well house and gasped at what she saw.
"No…" she gasped her hands covered her mouth.
Flames danced high in a crazy ritual to the stars. Red and gold danced in the darkness and not even a person was around. Kagome heard a fire truck in the distance but ignored it.
"Momma! Sota! Grandpa! MINNA!"
Kagome raced up the back stairs to her house ignoring the heat of the flames that reached for her.
Kagome raced through the house.
"Momma? Sota? Grandpa?" Kagome coughed from the smoke that she inhaled while calling out.
Kagome raced though the flames trying to find her family. She ran up the stairs and to check the bedrooms by now she was covered in soot and multiple burns, but she didn't care.
Kagome opened her younger brothers door and screamed as flames leapt out at her. She used her miko powers and sensed no living form in the room she then rushed to her mother's room flames had already engulfed it also. Kagome checked her father's room as a last resort and then ran back to the stairs on the way to the stairs her foot caught on the railing and she tumbled down them hitting her head then Kagome's mind went black.
Beep…beep…
'What's that noise?'
Beep…beep….
'Am I…am I dead?
Eyes opened to a white ceiling.
'I guess not since I can hear you'
'Well at least there's some good news.'
'what happened to you, and where are you?'
'Hospital it looks like. I tripped in my house when it was on fire and I guess I blacked out.'
'well that explains the question of am I dead.'
'all right. I am getting the hell out of this hospital though I hate being caged up.'
'I know so do I'
'see you soon'
'be careful'
Kagome sat up straight in her bed.
It had been ages since she had spoken to that voice. She knew that they were able to speak telepathically because they must have had similar powers. So now she would leave this hospital burns or no burns she was out of here.
Kagome looked around the room and winced she looked at her arms not many bandages there her legs had a few more bandages then her arms but since there wasn't a lot of pain there. Her head on the other hand was throbbing. Kagome put her hand to her hand to feel a bandage there. She sighed the noticed a little neat pile of sweats in the corner. Grabbing them she went into the bathroom and changed into them. Later she peeked out the door into the hallway and walked out.
She smiled she had lived in Kyoto long enough. Now she was headed somewhere new.
'Tokyo here I come.'
Cliffy! Okay I know I seem cruel now but I'm not really I just have to get off the comp now family rules..
R&R!
