Shikon No Tama
"Memories"
Chapter One:
"Grandma?" a five year-old child asked, gaining the attention of an elderly woman.
"What is it, Chisa?" she asked; following her gaze to the large tree in front them.
"Where did the Goshinboku come from?" she asked, touching the bark of the large tree as though they were old friends.
"Hundreds of years ago, there was demon named Youko Kurama…" the woman started. "He was a silver kitsune with the ability to manipulate plants and make them grow. He was a thief and than there was a priestess…"
Is this how my life was going to be? Is this how the rest of my life was to be lived, suffering heartbreak after heartbreak; betrayal after betrayal? I don't want this life if that is to be the case! I want to love and be loved for me… not for being Kikyo!
"I-I love you Kikyo."
No. Don't say that. Please don't say that.
"I'm not Kikyo."
Please don't say that name to me.
"My God, Kagome! I'm so sorry! I was lost in memories!"
Memories that I'm not apart of, Inuyasha.
"I'm not her!" I screamed; grabbing my discarded clothing and slipping them on; running away.
Yes little Miko, run away and all your problems will be solved.
I ran and I didn't stop running, nor did I stop the crystalized tears that blocked my vision. I didn't want to stop running. I ran to the well... my salvation. I didn't stop running when I reached it either. I just jumped right in...unaware of the swirling magic changing around me.
Please let me walk away without looking back...
Please... let me stay where I am at... I don't want to hear that horrid name again...
But she is me...just as I am her
You want love and you deserve that much. We have cursed you and we will now give you what you desire.
I sat in the well for hours; crying like I had never cried before. I was so tired...too upset to do anything other than curl up on the dirt at the bottom of the well. I wanted to sleep and let all of my problems disappear. I wanted my heart to be mended. I wanted everything to fade away and leave me to sorrow and pain before I healed. I needed that much...just to fade away...
Yes...fade and let your problems fall into nothingness. To live forever is a burden and to live forever alone and watching a valuable artifact is something we never wanted to hurt you with. We will give you your love because you are our guardian. Kagome Higurashi, guardian of the Shikon No Tama.
Had I been more aware...I would have noticed the way the full Shikon No Tama pulsed and that the well glowed green and not the usual bluish pink.
OoO
I was sore when I woke up from my dark dream. It was a dream that I never wanted to relive again. Inuyasha and I were by the Goshinboku and he he kissed me. The kiss became more and more passionate by the second. The top of my miko clothing was long gone and than Inuyasha whispered his love.
"I love you Kikyo."
I sighed and than I noticed that I was at the bottom of the well. Tears of bitter realization flowed down my cheeks. It wasn't a dream...Inuyasha did say that he loved Kikyo and not myself. I cried out my pain of leaving Inuyasha...I made up my mind to never go back to the feudal era.
I stood and looked up to see that the sky wasn't the blue I was accustomed to and the well house roof wasn't there. The sky was a lighter shade than the sky of the feudal era and I felt my eyes widen. I rushed to get out of the well but there was nothing to use except very thin vines. Then I felt it before I heard them. Demon's...two...upper S class. I shuddered at the power they released, not even bothering to contain it. They stopped in front of the well and I covered my scent and aura and waited.
"Kuronue...I felt it. I smelt it!" one voice growled. It was soft , silky but now rough with anger.
"Are you sure, you're not going old?" I'm guessing Kuronue asked. "Youko?"
"There was a very strong human around here." I held back my gasp.
"Really?"
"It's mixed with the funny power of magic I smelt."
They smelt the jewel? Felt the power? Oops.
"You're going senile you old fox!" Kuronue laughed.
"Keep calling me old and you will become a woman in less than two seconds." Youko growled.
"You wouldn't!" Kuronue cried; appaled.
"I've killed for less than an insult."
I couldn't help it. I giggled. The demon's stopped bickering and I saw a shadow fall over me. I looked up and smiled impishly.
"Well...hello." the first voice, Youko, greeted.
He jumped down in front of me and I had to hold my gasp of surprise. He landed in crouch and I saw two silver fox ears on his head and long silver hair. His skin was slightly tanned and he wore a white tunic, white pants, a white fighting shoes. He slowly stood and he towered over my 5'3'' by at least a foot. I looked over his sharp aristocratic facial features and than to his golden eyes. They weren't the molten gold of Inuyasha or the frozen sun of Sesshoumaru...they were honey old and warm.
He smirked and I noticed something swiveling behind him...I squealed and latched onto the furry appendage extending from this beautiful males backside. I heard laughter from above but ignored it and stroked the soft silver tail...talking to it as though it was alive. I touched it to my cheek and felr its softness. I heard a deep chuckle and released the tail slowly. I backed up and the male smiled.
"Never has someone openly grabbed my tail without my permission. Afterall...no one grabs the tail of a murderous theif." at those words I pailed but smiled charming never the less.
"I have a small fetish for...ur...fluffy things. I appologize, Youkai-sama. I should have controlled my actions." I bowed deeply and felt myself be lifted bridal style. He brought me out of the well and than dumped me unceremoniously on the ground. I hissed in pain as I sat on a twig and rubbed my abused bottom.
I looked to the kitsune and noticed a bat-demon. He was really a beautiful demon, just like the fox. He was as tall as the kitsune and had long black hair tied in a high ponytail coming from a tattered hat at the top. He wore a small black vest and black pants as well as a violet long skirt of sorts over the pants and black ribbons that wrapped around his arms to shis albows. He had pointed ears and black leathery wings that sprouted from his back as well as amused violet eyes. He smirked and crouched down next to me.
"You don't have an aura, nor do you have a scent. Why is that?" he asked, smirking like the devil I imagined him to be.
"I'm not sure...you should ask the really ripe fruit tree behind you." just as I hoped he would, the bat turned around searching for the fruit. Than I ran away...I heard the fox laugh and the bat curse.
I ran away and hurried...hearing no sound come from the demons, maybe they didn't decide to pursue me.
I spoke to soon because to seconds later, I crashed to the brick wall men called a chest.
Damn.
I looked up into the ammused eyes of the kitsune and sighed.
"You havethe treasure we want, don't you?"
"Do I look like I have treasure?" I snapped.
"You look like you have more than treasure my little vixen. Alot more." than he leaned down and caught my lips in a heated kiss.
Fuckin shit, why is it always me?
I gasped and the kitsune used that time to slip his tounge into my mouth. I moaned as he put his claws onto my sides. I was sexually frustrated at this moment. After all, Inuyasha had stirred may emotions within me before he called me Kikyo. I stiiffened and all the passion within me was drained and I felt cold. The kitsune stopped and pulled away abruptly. No questions as to why I stopped.
"I'm sorry."
"No need to appologize, dear one. My name is Youko Kurama, yours?" he asked.
"Kagome Higurashi." he grabbed my hand and ran a kiss along my knuckles. I blushed and heard a cough from behind me.
"Ah,Kuronue!" Youko greeted, smiling. "Kuronue, this is Kagome, Kagome meet Kuronue."
"I appologize for the fruit trick earlier." I murmured; watching as Kuronue smirked.
"No need. I'll get you back. When we're even than we'll have fun."
I nodded and gulped nervously. Now these two predators walked closeer to me and I swear that I saw my life flash before me.
Damn. Damn. DAMN!
Youko: I already made a move? SWEET!
KYN: I'm still pissed off at you so I suggest you leave before I castrate you.
Youko: Evil psychotic wench.
KYN: WHAT?!
Youko: I love you.
KYN: You better.
Youko: Please review.
