OK, here's a new story i just thought up. I don't know how it'll end up but i hope everyone likes it.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT AND NEVER WILL OWN ANY CHARACTER OF INUYASHA NOR THE SHOW!
A young girl, possibly the age of 15, ran as fast as she could through the trees, her face twisted in pain and terror. She glanced behind her once more, the group was gaining on her and she couldn't run any faster; Pushing her weak injured legs to go faster she managed to jump into the air. She knew when she landed her body would give out and they would capture her. Tears started to cloud her vision as she ran faster and shot herself into the air into a giant tree with a hollowed center from the top. As soon as she landed inside the hollowed tree her vision blacked out and she was unaware of her surroundings. Little did she know that during this whole time, someone was watching her. Someone who was just as unique as herself.
Slowly the young girl awoke, she went to sit up but the injuries placed on her body wouldn't allow her to move. She was in a great amount of pain and she was alone. That's when everything from the past three days came back to her, tears flowed heavily as the events she had witnessed came flooding back into her mind. She ignored the pain in her body as she forced herself to curl into a fetal position, still crying.
Flashback
A beautiful child, sat in her home with her family as they prepared supper. The sun was setting and the family all had wonderful bright smiles that lit up their faces. The young girl was surrounded by a older woman around her early thirties, a younger boy about the age of ten or eleven, and an elderly man. They all laughed as they told about their day's events. Finishing their supper, the young girl helped her mother clear and wash up from the late meal.
"Mother, why am I different from Souta and all the other children? Why can't I be like them and like you?" the young girl asked quietly.
"Listen here Kagome, just because your brother and the other children are not like you don't mean you don't have to be upset. No one in this world is like you, you are so very special and that is why you must wear this every time you leave this house, do you understand?" her mother pulled out a small black ribbon with a beautiful pendant on it, The pendant was stunning to say the least. The swirls of shining silver mixed with the bright sapphire stones, followed with garnet and diamonds. Kagome held the necklace in her hands and could feel a weird sensation, energy perhaps coming from the middle aquatic sapphire swirled garnet that adorned the pendant.
"What does this do mother?"
"It will hide your aura and make you like the other children and Souta. Do not let anyone take it from you alright?" Her mother was being serious, and Kagome looked wide eyed at her as she nodded her head.
"Thank you mother."
"No thanks is necessary honey, just head on up to bed and I'll see you first thing in the morning." Her mother kissed her forehead as Kagome turned and went to bed.
As her mother finished washing up the dishes and prepared herself for bed, there was a knock at her door. It was fairly late already and she just wondered who could be here at such a late hour. She opened the door gracefully and smiled.
"How may I help you good sir?"
"Where is the pendant?" His voice cold and eyes glowing red she could see his aura was pitch black and very massive. She was worried and frozen in shock. The man pulled out a silenced pistol and aimed it at the woman's face. She stared wide-eyed and never answered him.
"I said where's the goddamned pendant? I know you have it and I will not hesitate to kill you to find it." the man snarled.
"I…I don't know what you are talking about sir, but I will have to ask you to leave at once, it is very late and I would not like my children to be awoken."
"Then you leave me no choice." he raised the gun above her head and she screamed.
"Kagome, Souta, Father Get out now!" she screamed before the gun slammed into her temple and she was on the ground, unconscious, and a pool of blood forming around her head from the injury.
The two young children had heard their mother's scream and they had gotten their grandfather up and they were now hiding quietly. Hearing the heavy footsteps getting closer as things in the house was being thrown around. He was in the room the three silent terrified people were sitting in, they held their breath as Kagome and Souta gripped their grandfather's clothing tighter. The intruder stopped in front of the closet in which they were hiding, Kagome held her mother's gift in her hands tightly placed at her heart. Suddenly the closet doors were ripped off the hinges and the man had flung all three of them out onto the floor shooting each person in the back and legs. Kagome and Souta were screaming in pain tears falling freely as they tried to breathe from the bullet wounds in their backs. Their grandfather was the only one to speak.
"You monster, what do you want? Whatever it is we'll give it to you, just please do not hurt the children!" He was breathing ragged and coughing up blood, he knew he would not last much longer. The intruder kicked the elderly man in the side harshly and sneered.
"I want the pendant. I know you have it, give it and I will spare the children." he said coldly.
"I know not which pendant you are speaking of-" another gun shot and Souta was screaming in such agony his old heart couldn't take it. Kagome had fallen silent and he hoped the special child wasn't dead.
"Of course you do, the Shikon No Tama is infused within the pendant, give me the pendant now!"
"Please, I speak the truth, I do not know the whereabouts of the pendant. Spare the children I beg of you."
The man was silent as he crouched down, his heavy leather boots squeaking with the extra movement. There was another shot, Souta lay motionless and silent. The elder's tears fell faster as the gunman placed the gun in front of his face.
"Now, I will ask once more, if you do not tell me where the pendant is, the other child goes."
"No please! She is everything to me, do not kill her! I…I…I think I may have seen it, in the storage house I no not exactly where, but the Shrine gets many things in every week, I do not know if the pendant was in one of those but the best….place would be the storage…building. Just please do not kill my granddaughter."
"Well, it is a loss that you now have no one, I have killed the woman downstairs, and the boy, the girl is not even breathing now, and you are soon to go….it's a pity how weak mortals are." he stood back to his normal staggering height and shot the elderly man point blank in the head. Then left the room with the three bloody bodies sprawled onto the floor. Little did he know Kagome was only holding her breath so he thought she was dead. Once she knew he was gone she climbed out the top window of her mother's bedroom limping and in excruciating pain she managed to climb from a tree beside the house and take off into the woods. The sound of men shouting and dogs barking made her panic and she ran as fast as she could the dogs behind her a small ways and the men with flashlights and guns were rushing towards her.
End of Flashback
Slowly her bright blue/gold eyes opened, they were red and puffy from crying, sitting up even more she winced. The pain in her legs and back were horrid, but she ignored the pain and forced herself out of the hollow tree and up onto the highest branch that can support her. There, she fell asleep, full of physical and emotional pain.
