Lost and Found
Prologue/Chapter One
'My wounds cry for the grave.
My soul cries for deliverance.
Will I be denied?
Christ, tourniquet, my suicide.'
-Evanescence
Judo Era
There was a struggle of good and evil that had been going on ever since the disappearance of a great priestess that was entrusted with a tool of great power that could be good or evil. We all know the story. The priestess sadly was robbed, and by someone she thought she had loved. Out of her anger she trapped him by her magic arrow to forever sleep, and in the process was mortally wounded. She knew she was going to die, so she took responsibility for the power, and had the stone buried with her. Who ever knew that it would follow her onto her next life.
It had turned out as well that her love had not betrayed her. It was a greater evil that her reincarnation and love would have to face, an evil so strong that it would almost destroy the world that she had strived so long to protect.
The whole scene since the reincarnation of the priestess had come into the picture had been almost unreal. But the power knew that it wasn't over, even if it had to wait over 500 years to come back to the time where it had almost fallen into the hands of a master that would have once again turned it into evil.
Its power had brought the teenage girl back 500 years. It had brought her back to exactly 50 years after the death of the great one. And it brought her right to the place where she would find her demon accomplice.
They had fought for what they thought was separate causes. The demon it had turned out was only a Halfling, and since the whole incident with the original priestess, who had tried to kill him, he longed only to be full blooded. He had had enough of being part human. Humans to him were inferior, and untrustworthy, wicked creatures. They were the real demons. The girl from the future, fortunately or unfortunately, had shattered the jewel, the source of the great power. The two of them Halfling and the human were forced to retrieve the pieces of the jewel. If they didn't the jewel could possibly fall into the wrong hands. The fate of the world was in their hands.
There journey wasn't easy. They searched and fought with the original evil, that had killed the Halflings love. It had almost come to the point where they had felt that is was a loosing battle. But they had overcome it all, to win over evil in the end.
And it is after this battle where the true story begins.
"Kagome!"
Kagome lay on the ground, her body looked lifeless. Inuyasha ran to her side, he himself was covered in his own blood. His eyes were wide in shock and fear. You could tell that this girl was his life by the way he screamed her name.
Naraku. That was the nemesis that they had just defeated. The demon gained all of his power by collecting souls and bringing them into his being. Since the priestess power over the jewel was what he so desired he wanted to bring Kagome's soul into him. It was in doing this that the battle had finally come to a close.
The demon had tried this tactic before, but only with other demons. They had never imagined that he could envelope a human soul into him. The demon Iunyasha and Seeshemarou proved to be to very difficult to deal with. The swords the Halfling and his demon brother had, made it difficult for Naraku to envelope the two brothers; even though their power was not as strong as he. But with the priestess power he would be able to control all demon powers, even the sword. It was the ultimate power. He the unholy one would have holy power. Who had ever seen this coming?
Then the moment had come, though he had not predicted what actually came to be. He had managed finally to trap the girl, and his malignant body, surrounded her. He felt as her life force was sucked from her body. Everyone around stopped dead in their tracks when they realized their beloved companion was being taken form them, knowing that there was little they could do and little time to do it in, in order to save her.
They thought it was the end as the minutes passed by and Naraku just started to laugh, feeling all of her power inside of him, and knowing that she had taken her last breath and finally bequeathing her soul to him. As he had speared Iunyasha with a tentacle through the gut, and the demon's head flew back in pain and he choked, blood flying through his mouth in defeat, and his sword falling out of his hands, onto the ground, his last sign of defeat, Naraku's body was ruptured from the inside, and a bright light illuminated out from inside of his body. Then another part of him seemed to rip apart, and light shone forth from it. After that another, and another, then another, he had a look of utter terror on his face at this point. He didn't even know what was happening. He threw the Halfling and started screaming in pain, excruciating pain.
His body started to disappear in the light. His screams to stopped and there was a great humming in the air, it was coming from the huge light. The light seemed to be moving up into the air. It was about fifty feet in the air when it came to an abrupt stop. It was like a miniature sun, a radiant sparkling sun. The light was white like snow. A light so bright you couldn't even look directly at its center. The bloody Halfling despite the burning he was feeling throughout his whole body looked directly at the light. The light crackled, and sparked, and then there was a great flash and a loud explosion like a fireworks show, the light started to change colors. It went through the whole color spectrum. It was like time stopped as they covered their eyes, but each kept peeking at the light show. The fireworks seemed to fade, and the light went back to white and started to descend, and dissipate.
There in place of the light was the girl. She was lying there seeming to be lifeless. Her companions didn't know what to do. They were in too much of a shock to even move. All of them accept the hanyo.
The bloody hanyo reached the girl in seconds and pulled her into his arms. He could faintly feel her breathing and he knew then the she wasn't dead. His blood spilt all over her as he cradled her in his arms, rocking back and forth on the ground. He pulled her tighter to him, not thinking about anything but the girl, not thinking about what had just happened, not thinking about anything going on around him.
"Don't you even do anything like that again wench! You are never leaving me you hear!" He mumbled to her. Then he collapsed onto her.
The other in their company had inched their way to the two of them in time to hear the hanyou's mumblings and to see him collapse with the girl in his arms. They had all finally gotten their minds straight, enough to know that the two of them needed serious medical attention.
It took them a day to get back to the village. Miroku and Sango had bandaged Inuyasha wounds. The hanyo had not yet awaken, neither had the girl. But the priest and slayer were sure that the healer would be able to heal them.
Kaedae was there to greet them. "What has happened?"
"Kagome defeated Naraku." Sango said.
"Kagome?"
"Yes. He tried to envelope her, and seemingly succeeded, because we all thought she had died, and it seems that she managed to destroy him from within. There was a big light show and then when the lights disappeared, there was Kagome lying in the middle of it all." Miroku explained to the confuse healer.
"Inuyasha needs serious medical attention, and Kagome has still not awakened." Sango said concerned.
"Hurry lets get them to my hut."
