(I know I haven't written in any of my other stories for a while, but I had to write this story before it left my mind. I did not use any full songs, only bits and pieces from different songs. No I do not own any of these characters, or any of these songs, nor will I ever own them. The only one in this story I own is, well, you'll know when he's introduced. If I tell you who it is, I'll be giving away too much. Enjoy! )
Wild Lightning: Chapter 1
Kagome ran away from the scene she just witnessed. Once again, she found Inuyasha with Kikyo. When she saw him with her this time, she felt a strong erg to say her SIT command on the baka hanyou. Instead, she held back her tears and fled from the scene she wished she never saw.
This is the story of a love that flourished in a time of hate.
Of lovers no tyranny could separate.
Love set into motion on the Nile shore.
Destiny ignited by an act of war...
The moon slowly began to rise, casting a sliver glow upon the land. Kagome sat on a large bolder that over looked a sparkling lake. Her raven colored hair flowed in a gentle breeze. Tears stained her face as they fell from her chocolate colored eyes.
She was about to head back to camp where her friends were waiting for her, when she heard a cry of pain. She got up from her sitting position and made her way toward the sound. When she made it passed the thick brush, she found a midnight black stallion lying in a pool of blood. She walked slowly to the injured horse and gently stroked its velvet head.
"Shh..." she soothed as she began to circle the horse. She noticed that the horse had a slash on his right hind leg that was bleeding rapidly. The horse looked at her cautiously and nudged her arm, trying to warn her away. "It's okay, I won't hurt you," she whispered. A warm silver glow came from her right hand as she placed it on the injured leg and healed it completely. "You're okay now," she said with a smile.
The horse rose to his feet and nuzzled her shoulder, showing her his thanks. The stallion circled Kagome and reared on his hind legs. When Kagome stepped toward the horse, he nudged her arm again and waved his head toward his back. "Do you want me to get on?" The horse nodded his head and rose onto his hind legs again.
Kagome smiled and climbed onto the horse's back. When she was settled, the horse started racing across the sea of grass that blew in the wind. Kagome laughed as the horse picked up speed and leapt over a small river.
Something has changed within me, something is not the same.
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game.
Too late for second guessing, too late to go back to sleep.
It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap...
"Kagome!" she heard a voice call out.
She told the horse to stop before she heard the call again and realized how far she had gotten from her friends. When she recognized the voice as Inuyasha, her eyes narrowed into a cold glare. Inuyasha caught up with her before Sango, Miroku and Shippo did.
"Kagome, are you alright?" Inuyasha asked.
"Where did you get the horse?" Shippo asked as he jumped on the horses back. The horse reared up, forcing Shippo to jump off. "What was up with that, Kagome?"
Kagome calmed the horse down before sliding off of him. "I don't know, he just seems jumpy around strangers."
"But we're not strangers, Kagome."
"You are to him."
"Where did you find him?" Sango asked.
Kagome stroked the horses head before answering. "I found him injured in the fields next to the lake."
"Well, I think that we should take the horse to a village or something. We don't have time dealing with him." Inuyasha said rudely.
The horse reared up against Inuyasha and knocked him off his feet. Inuyasha got up and growled at the beast insulting him. "Damn that horse. I'll kill him!" he threatened before extending his claws.
"Stay away from him, Inuyasha!" Kagome demanded. She grabbed a hold of his hands trying to keep him from striking the beautiful stallion. When he pulled away from her grasp, "SIT BOY!" BAM, Inuyasha slammed to the ground.
Inuyasha pulled his face out of the ground and spit out the dirt he was forced to eat. "What the hell was that for?" he yelled.
"Why do you have to be so-" Before she could finish, she climbed onto the horse's back.
"Where do you think you're going?" Inuyasha yelled.
"None of your business, half-breed." She growled.
Before anyone could respond to what she just said, the horse reared up and raced off. "Kagome!" Shippo called out.
Between the future and the past tense,
Lies the present and the distance.
So you think we're never coming back?
Scoring points for passion and persistence.
"Where do you think she's going?" Sango asked.
"I don't know. But I think that horse might not be what he seems." Miroku relied.
"This is all your fault!" Shippo yelled at Inuyasha.
"What did I do?"
"You're such an idiot!" Shippo yelled before chasing after Kagome.
Kagome held on tight as the stallion picked up speed. The night sky was being taken over by the dawn by the time Kagome told the horse to stop. Turning around, she looked back at the rising sun and sighed. What was she doing? Why did she leave her friends like that? Oh well. It's not the first time she left them. This time, it may be for good.
She leaned down by the horse's head and petted him gently. "I guess it's you and me from this moment on, Lightning," she whispered softly. Lightning nodded and nuzzled the hand petting him.
I watch the prevailed sunrise
Coming over the pacific end
You might think I'm losing my mind
But I will shy away from the specifics
Cause I want you to know what I am
Then you will see my heart
And the sad mistake it's been in
Cause this in no place
To try and live my life
She smiled wickedly as a demonic aura surrounded her and Lightning. She felt a strange change with in her. It felt evil, but at the same time, it felt good. For the first time in her life, she felt free as the wind. From that moment on, the Kagome everyone knew and loved was a thing of the past.
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Put yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Till it ends and your book begins
The rest in still unwritten
(I hope you enjoyed this first chapter. If you want more, I want reviews! 3 reviews are all I ask for. If I get more, you won't hear me complain. I would like to know if you recognized any of these songs. That's my little added challenge, because not many of these songs are known to well. Farewell for now!)
