Vengeful Souls Never Die
Disclaimer: Sadly I have to renounce ownership of Inuyasha, and everyone in the anime and manga. Although I do own six DVD's; I guess that counts for something.
A/N: Alright, well this is my first fanfic of this Anime. Let's get cracking!
Chapter 1~ What Happened?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Inuyasha!" Kikyo screamed at the fleeing Hanyo. He looked back and turned around, Kikyo let her arrow fly.
"Huh?" Inuyasha uttered as he felt the arrow penetrate his flesh and go through it. He was pinned by the tree behind him. The Shikon-no-Tama flew out of his grasp and fell to the ground.
Kikyo was standing with her bow raised and blood silently flowing down one side of her body. She then fell to the ground in pain. Inuyasha felt sleepy and his senses were becoming dull. His eyes grew heavy and the last thing he saw was Kikyo talking to Kaede, her little sister, about something he couldn't hear. Then his eyes shut for the next fifty years.
"Sister! Sister, hurry we have to get your wounds treated" Kaede begged her older sister
"No, it is already too late. I want you to burn this with my body" Kikyo held the Shikon-no-Tama out to her sister "so that no one may use it for evil again" Kikyo then fell over to the ground and left the realm of the living.
"Sister…" Kaede fell to her knees and cried for her dead sister. Then she took the Shikon-no-Tama and put it round Kikyo's neck for safekeeping.
"Oh! Where am I?" Kikyo was floating in seemingly endless white. She felt a presence other than her own and calmly turned around, looking for the person to which it belonged. However, her efforts were fruitless and nothing could be seen. Just felt.
"You are at the crossroads between the spirit and living worlds. You will crossover soon but before you do you must settle this anger and betrayal in your heart. For to move on you must be pure." A disembodied voice said, "That will be your mission, you shall return to the living world as someone else, but your memory and ambition will not be altered. Now GO!"
Kikyo felt herself pitch backwards and be pulled somewhere. Where she had no clue but she had to do this or else she felt nothing could be right. But what did he mean by "betrayal" and "anger", she could not think of what he could've meant. Then one word flashed in her minds eye, Inuyasha. Then all went dark.
It seemed an eternity that all Kikyo saw was dark and she felt numb. Then she was standing on the ground, perfectly fine. She stood for maybe ten seconds then was on the ground. Her muscles were like a newborn baby's and were not strong enough to hold her weight. So she lay on the ground and looked at the bright blue sky. She could feel the slight breeze and the coolness of the ground. As she watched the clouds drift by, a little girl came into the field and found her lying there.
"Excuse me?" the little girl said
Kikyo turned over onto her stomach and looked at the girl. She was wearing a kimono and looked frightened. "Yes?" Kikyo inquired
"Umm…why are you out here?" The girl took a step away as she said this
"Well, because I can't seem to get up or stand. So I just stayed here hoping someone would come along and help me" Kikyo answered
"Oh, ok. I'll get someone to come and help you then" The girl said as she turned and ran as fast as she could towards a house. Kikyo turned back over and waited for someone to come.
"Father! Father!" the little girl shouted as she neared the house
A man came bursting out of the doorway. "What is it, Koyomi?"
"There's a woman out in the fields and she says she can't walk. Can you go and help her?" Koyomi asked
"Where is she?"
"Out over there" Koyomi said pointing in the general direction "She's wearing red"
"I'll be right back, stay here" The father told Koyomi.
A/N: Ok! Sorry if this is a bit short but it just seemed like a good place to stop. Hope you liked it and the next chapter will be longer and better. Flames are welcome ^_^
