The Fix By VALLED
"Excuse me, young miss. Might you help me carry this bag of rice to my home over there? My bones have become weak from old age and I no longer have the strength to," an old lady called from a distance. She had dark gray and her skin looked like it was sagging past her cloths. She was also in a miko outfit. I could clearly tell why she needed my help carrying that bag of rice, she was hunched over s far, it looks like she was trying to pick something up while walking. When she was close enough to me she examined my blood stained cloths. I was wearing a new pair of skinny jeans and a blue Aero hoodie over my bra. The zipper only went half way down the jacket so I placed the zipper as far down as it could go, for it was a hot day. The old miko smiled at me and handed me the bag of rice. I held it easily in one arm and dragged my yellow bag on the road with my free hand. "Come young lady, I will feed you and you will wash your cloths." She led me to an old beaten up log cabin far from the village we were in. The inside was in better condition than the out. It looks as if she recently had then redone due to mold or some other problem. "Set the rice over there and take off your cloths if you have any wounds." I simply nodded, placing the rice down in a corner then removing my jacket, revealing my bare skin, wound, and bra. I heard her gasp slightly at the sight; the wound looked as though three giant claws had struck my stomach, which, in all reality actually happened. "Take that chest wrap off as well," she said gesturing towards my bra. I nodded and removed it. She went to an area on the floor and popped open a secret compartment, and pulled out first aid. "Girl, I have not heard you speak a single word yet, why?" I simply put my hand on my neck turning my head from side to side, and shed a single tear. She nodded, understanding that it was a touchy subject. I gave her a sad and apologetic smile. "Lay here, on your back." I did as told, and she tended to my wounds, and wrapped my chest. The night went by quickly, because immediately after she finished tending to me, we ate and slept.
Due morning, I awoke with no dream lingering in my mind. No lost feeling left lingering in my heart. It's just plain old emptiness that was left to linger in the dark and light corners of my soul. The miko approached my laying body, "Would you care to explain...everything?" I nodded and opened my mouth to start my story, but instead a shriek louder than hell escaped my lips, just what I was afraid of. "It's okay, let it out. Let it all out."
I nodded and began to speak. "Well, where should I begin?"
"Why not at the beginning? It seems like the most logical place to start, if you think about it," the old miko replied waiting patiently.
I nodded, "My name is Kagome Higurashi. I am obviously of Japanese descent, but I was cursed and blessed with my blue eyes. I was born five hundred years in the future. Where Edo is now located, soon, it will be called Tokyo, which is my birthplace." I sighed. "On my fifteenth birthday I was pulled into the Bone-Eater's well at my shrine, by a centipede demon, where I realized I had a jewel called the 'Shikon no Tama' embedded in my side. From there, I came to Inuyasha's forest, where a met a half demon, ultimately named Inuyasha. He thought I was the Priestess, Kikyo, who had died 50 years earlier. I turned out to her reincarnation. At the moment I shattered the 'Shikon no Tama', my journey began." I then explained how I met every one of my companions and enemies one by one using up the whole day at my will, and how another conquest, the search for Naraku, had begun.
She smiled at me sweetly then said, "I have a feeling, that this part of the story is just the beginning to the long, long journey that you are about to tell. I nodded again, and then lay on my back for her to change my bandages and ten to my wounds. We then ate, and slept, and we both greatly awaited the day to come at dawn, to continue along with my tale.
A/N: Yeah, it's my second Fan Fic, and I don't really plan on abandoning this one. So I hope I'll have the strength to accomplish it. (=-) R&R
I also realize that it's an extremely short chapter, I'll try to write longer ones without stretching it out too much.
