Prolog: All in the Past
The demon sat in the long flowing grass. The breeze blowing it's long white hair. It could smell the girl coming closer. The girl that had turned it's life around. The girl it hated and at the same time couldn't imagine it's life without.
"Hoy demon, what are you doing?", The girl came to stand behind the demon.
The demon turned to face her, "I'm thinking, Kik, just thinking."
"You, just thinking, now that's a strange thing. Usually it's brooding or planning what to kill next, eh Kagome?", Kikyo sat down next to the girl demon.
"Hmph", Kagome turned back, "is that right? Then all you do if pray and bug me then."
"Yep that's right", the priestess quipped, "say Kagome, have you considered my offer?"
Kagome turned back to face the other girl, "Well it's a hard decision to make. But I think I'll go through with it."
"Really? You will?! Oh that's wonderful!", Kikyo faced Kagome and smiled, "I'm so happy. But now I have to go back to the village and prepare for the festival. You'll come won't you?"
"Yes I'll come, but I don't promise to stay, I have brooding and killing to do as you say", Kagome smiled.
Kikyo stood up and started walking back to the village. After taking a few steps she stopped and said, "You won't regret this", and went back to walking.
The girl demon continued to look out past the field she was sitting on, into the sky. Thinking back to when Kikyo first asked her that question.
~~~~~~~~~~ (flashback fun ^-^)
Kagome had come to the tiny village Kikyo was protecting almost two years ago. She had heard rumors of the priestess here having the Shikon no Tama. The Jewel of Four Souls...the one thing that could make her a full demon instead of a weak half-demon. She thought the priestess would be an easy thing to get rid of, but she was wrong.
Kikyo turned out to be cunning, swift, and determined that no demon would ever get close to the jewel. She always seemed to know where Kagome was, and no matter how hard Kagome tried to get the jewel Kikyo was one step ahead of her.
Then one day Kikyo came up to her while she was sitting up in a tree. "Demon", Kikyo looked up, "I'll make you a deal."
Kagome jumped down from the tree and stood next to the priestess. They stood at the same height. Kagome's soft yellow eyes met Kikyo's warm blue-grey eyes. "What sort of deal?", Kagome asked warily.
"I'll give you the Shikon no Tama, if..", Kikyo started, "if you use it to become human."
(End of flashback) ~~~~~~~~~~
It was night. Kagome wandered over to the village and jumped up on a roof top to watch the villagers and their festival. Kikyo saw her and went over to talk to her. "Kagome meet me tomorrow in the clearing, you know which one", Kikyo said and went back to the festival.
That was all Kagome needed to know and she went back into the forest, to her tree to wait for tomorrow.
~~~~~~~~~
Later the next day. Kikyo shot the arrow into Kagome. Not believing that her friend could do such a thing. She reached down and picked up the Shikon jewel from where in lay in a puddle of blood. "All this for the jewel", she whispered. Her vision blurred as she told Kaede to burn her remains with the jewel. She would end this tragedy of the Shikon no Tama now. Protect other from this pain. And Kagome would sleep forever pinned to the tree. The village would finally be at peace without the jewel attracting the demons.
But things rarely ever go as we plan.
