Rain's Poison X Chapter 2"The Search Begins With Rage"
Back In The Fedual Era;Sunset
Sango,Miroku,Shippo,and Kilala were in plain shock after hearing the news about Kagome who still shook in anger. None of them knew what to say to the subject. Kagome must be deeply wounded from this discovery. Inuyasha wanted to confront Kagome badly but he didn't know what she'd say or do. Her eyes had flashed silver. What was she? Will things change?
Sango began hesitating"Kagome," Kagome looked at Sango waiting to here her beginning question. She could easily see she was hesitating to say something to her. Kagome closed her eyes and relaxed thinking happy thoughts. The only happy thoughts she had at that moment were when Inuyasha was smirking at her. A smile appeared onto her face. Sango's voice finally came concerned "What will change?"
Kagome didn't know herself what would happen from there,but she took a breath a smiled at the concerned friend in front of her "Finding my real family would be a start,Sango.Other than that...I hope nothing changes"
"Okay.Do we search tommorow?I wanna help!"blurted Inuyasha. Everyone looked at him surprised. Kagome smiled. Inuyasha waited for her answer.
"I'm glad.We'll start tommorow.Sorry to put jewel shard hunting on hold"muttered Kagome. They all understood the problem,and wanted to help.
So that night everyone went to sleep on time. Wanting to wake with full strength to take what was coming. Though none of them knew that finding the village was going to lead them all to another disaster of the year. Just around the corner was a whole new power. That would combine with the strong force they already faced. As they all sleep the stranger was waiting for the right time and day to strike.
Next Day;Dawn;On The Path
Everyone had awoken almost at the same time. Kagome and Sango were in a deep sleep but they were all on the path to finding where the Village Of whatever was. Inuyasha hadn't left Kagome's side since yesturday. She wanted to know what his deal was today. Was he just being overprotective?
"Um... Inuyasha,"began Kagome curious. Inuyasha turned to look at Kagome.
Inuyasha didn't turn to look at Kagome"What is it?" He looked at Kagome from the corner of his eye.
"I want to know why you're... at my side.You usually ahead of me not beside me"whispered Kagome realizing how dumb the question sounded. Inuyasha had to take in the question and place his own words in his head.
Inuyasha sighed"Kagome... I know this is a hard time for you.I want to help you.I don't want you to think that you have no family because you do have a family.Me,Sango,Miroku,Shippo,Kilala,even that dumb wolf Kouga.Remeber we'd do anything for you,Kagome.You always stood by myself,and I'll always stand beside yours.Even if I'm not here"
That last sentence struck Kagome like lightening. What did he mean by 'Even if im not here'. He has to be beside her always in life. To hold her when others thought of her wrong,and to always protect her when she was in danger. She wouldn't believe that he'd ever leave her,because if he left so would she. Not by death but in life. She'd become a assassin. She loved him to much. Even if he didn't know it.
"Don't talk that way,Inuyasha."whispered Kagome looking the other way. Her bangs covered her eyes like a shade.
Inuyasha whispered back"I mean what I say,Kagome.Just don't ever forget what I told you.We're your family...a...and we'll always love you no matter what" Kagome gasped,and stopped in her track,but Inuyasha walked on not looking back. Kagome had to think about what he said before realization crossed over her face. Just as she yelled his name the ground rumbled and a huge grey salamander demon arose from the ground. It's smooth scale skin reflected the dawn light.
The salamander growled"I,Suppai,will do the pleasure of killing the miko protector of the sacred jewel,and the daughter of Lord Etsuo,and Lady Hamako Oajini.Do not struggle with me or you'l-
Kagome clenched her fist and yelled"AM I THE ONLY ONE IN THIS WORLD THAT WAS NOT TOLD WHO THE HELL I AM!" Everyone was shocked that Kagome said hell. Her eyes flashed silver. Suppai stepped back not liking the power he was sensing. A blue static light striked around Kagome as though a storm was rolling in fast.
"Ahem... let's not be rash... I was sent here by Lord Naraku to kill you from getting any closer to the Hidden Rain Village."shook the black salamander in fear.
Kagome aimed three arrows at the salamander. Everyone gasped in shocked. Kagome couldn't even aim with one... how was she gonna pull that Kikyo like stunt off. Suppai spit acid at Kagome. She let the arrows fly toward the salamander. It purified the acid on it's way toward Suppai. He dodged the arrows very fast,and spat at Kagome once again. Kagome closed her eyes waiting for her skin to feel the substance burning her smooth skin. It never came. She heard Inuyasha's voice yell his main technique. The Wind Scar. The source of power cut the salamander in half. It fell to the ground. Shaking the earth beneath them.
Inuyasha asked"Are you alright,Kagome?!" Kagome nodded not trusting her voice. They continued their journey.
Nightfall;Village Reninn
"Hello there fellow traveler's may I ask your being here?"asked the young village boy.
Kagome cleared her thorat"I need to know.Do you know where the Hidden Rain Village may be?"
He was quiet. The smile on his face disappeared. He looked at all six of them. He reached for his sword,and slid it from it's shealth slowly. Everyone stepped back.
"Who are you,and what do you need with that information!Sir Hino!"yelled the boy.
Kagome closed her eyes and yelled"I'm the daughter of Lord Etsuo,and Lady Hamako!"
He froze. His shock look was replaced with anger. His face turning slightly red from anger. Kagome knew he did not believe a word she had said to him. A older man with raven hair,and jade eyes ran from the main hut.
"Who are you!"spat the man who must've been the Sir Hino.
The boy yelled"This wretch is acusing of be...being...being Kagome"
"But I am Kagome!"yelled Kagome. Inuyasha growled and pulled out his sword it tranformed. The boy fell back onto his back. Sir Hino clapped his hand together,and the village began to fog up.
Miroku smirked,and removed the beads then yelled"Wind Tunnel!" The mist was being sucked into his hand. Sir Hino glared at the group with pure hate,and sorrow.
"What can I prove to make you believe I'm Kagome"whispered Kagome slightly desprate.
Hino looked into Kagome's eyes"Kagome.Has been gone for 17 years.This can't be possible.That she is alive.There's nothing you can do to prove yourself.Leave here before I do something more drastic."
"Basturd!I was just told a day ago by my so called mother that she kidnapped me as a child.Sara Higurashi ring a bell!Abel Higurashi?!"spat Kagome getting angry.
Hino,and the boy looked at Kagome in shock. Whatever she just said must've been believed because the boys eyes softened as did the mans. Inuyasha wasn't likeing those looks not one bit. Until he heard someone say something. He was keeping his guard up.
Hino whispered"You are her.If you weren't you wouldn't of known that information.This isn't the Hidden Rain Village but the Hidden Mist.We honor your father Lord Etsuo.As well as Lady Hamako.Tadami.Go tell the other's Kagome has returned to us all...just in time"
"I want to stay,Sir Hino!"hissed the 14 year old. His long raven hair spilled down his back,and his silver eyes angry from Hino ordering him.
Hino hit Tadami on the head"I said go tell the others.The truth is least of our worries" Tadami rubbed his head,and stomped toward the hut.
"I want to meet my parents"whispered Kagome a bit disappointed she hadn't found where she was heading yet. Hino nodded but did not say anything. Instead he guided them threw the village. the villagers had shocked,and pleased eyes. Kagome was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment.
Hino whispered in joy"You'll meet your parents shortly.Tadami has gone to tell the head hut,and they will send the message quickly. Lady Hamako,and Lord Etsuo will be here.Things haven't been safe for the ninja villages.Those humans took you away from your mother.She lost control of her inner demon and had to be taken to the mountains for only 3 months.3 years later she had a son,Tadami.Tadami is your little brother,and has been well trained but you...I suspect is very out of shape.You haven't been trained.This causes a problem."
Kagome was slightly disturbed about meeting her parents for the first time in her life. How did they look. She had a brother! A real and trusting brother. Would the village except a weak miko?! There was so mcuh to think of at the moment.
"I've got a feeling we're going to hear something we aren't going to like today"whispered Sango to Inuyasha,Miroku,Shippo,and Kilala who nodded in agreement.
They sat in a hut waiting for Kagome's parents to arrive. Hino had finally admited who was he to Kagome. He of course was Kagome's uncle,and her fathers full blooded brother. A lot of the people were family but some were friends. She was so nervous that she nibbled on her nails. Sango pulled her hand away from her mouth.
Sango smiled"Calm down would you.I bet everything'll be great!"
"Other than the part with me crying"whispered Kagome with tears rolling down her cheek. Shippo sat up and wiped Kagome's tears away then put each hand on each of her cheeks.
Shippo smile"Don't cry then you'll make me cry,Kagome." Kagome smiled and hugged Shippo. At least Shippo's warm fur comforted her a lot so she relaxed.
"Kagome.It really is you!"came a soft voice of a woman. Shippo pulled away from Kagome. Kagome looked at the beautiful woman that walked threw the door. She had long raven hair with strands of red,and dark blue eyes. Kagome stood up,and Hamako,her mother,hugged Kagome. Crying. Kagome felt tears arise in her eyes. Kagome hugged back.
A man with shoulder-length red hair,and silver eyes walked in threw the doorway. His face pale when he saw Kagome,and Hamako hugging. All the tension in his shoulder's relaxed. To see his daughter safe and out of harms way. Sango,Inuyasha,Miroku,Shippo,and Kilala smiled happy Kagome found what she was looking for.
Hamako finally let go of Kagome,and let Etsuo hug her. Etsuo hugged Kagome protectively. As though if he didn't she'd slip away once again. Sango had tears rolling down her cheek thinking of her own family. Sango wiped her tears. Seeing the scene made her even more determined to save her little brother.
Midnight;After Meeting Everyone in the village
Everyone sat around the camp fire. In silence. Awaiting for wise words to be spoken from any of the ninja's. Kagome had finally become her old self again. Memories of ever being in the darkness disappeared.
"Kagome,"began Etsuo. Hamako stared into the fire not wanting to look up. Kagome looked at her father waiting for his next words to be spoken.
Etsuo looked into her dark blue eyes"In 5 months.There will be terror.Naraku.Has joined forces with our worst enemy.Her name is Koma Oajini.She is your mother's half sister,and your mother's worst enemy.She was in on the plan with Abel,and Sara Higurashi.She had a daughter... Kikyo.Who is your half sister,and your worst enemy.You shall not feel any sympathy for her.Or do you?"
"The only sympathy I hve for her is that she's alone"whispered Kagome. Inuyasha had a angry look on his face from what Etsuo said of Kikyo. His old love.
Hamako grimaced"That feeling is unnessary.She has a choice between loneliness,and company in her life.She picked loneliness and that isn't our problem.You have the bit of feling for her she'll make sure to take advantage of that"
"Don't say that about her!"growled Inuyasha. Kagome sighed knew that was coming. Anger,and jealousness surged threw her. Etsuo,and Hamako looked at Kagome then Inuyasha realizing it before the others did when they first met.
Etsuo whispered"So you're Kikyo's love am I right?" Inuyasha's express became unsurness when he looked at the slightly pained Kagome. Hamako smiled,and looked at Kagome.
"I don't know"whispered Inuyasha. Kagome looked at him,and he looked away. Sango,and Miroku sighed still wondering when they'd tell each other how they each felt. Shippo still didn't get it,and Kilala slept in Sango's lap.
Etsuo smiled"Anyway,I,your mother,and Hino will be training you for 3 months.In 5 you'll face the ultimate secret of battle.There will be no interference" Kagome as only slightly confused til her mother explained that part.
"I'm afraid your friends will have to leave the village and return in 3 months."whispered Hamako taking a sip of her tea.
Kagome yelled"Why?!They can't stay?!" Tadami looked at his father's slightly angry face. Hamako looked at him with a stern look,and he closed his eyes to calm down.
"I will not argue with you,Kagome.What I say goes,and that is final.Your friends leave.Tommorow at dawn"muttered Etsuo as he,and Hamako stood,and left. Kagome sighed in defeat.
Sango smiled"It's okay,Kagome.We understand,but I'm gonna miss you.A lot" Kagome hugged Sango. Inuyasha had that angry look. He didn't want to leave Kagome alone. What about her safety,but she was surrounded by family but still he knew Kagome. She liked to run off. Was there anything he could do to keep herout of harms way?
That night everyone slept except Kagome,and Inuyasha. They sat outside on the hut porch. Not saying anything for a while. Just looking at the night sky. The stars twinkled happily above.
"I'm sorry about whay my father said about Kikyo."whispered Kagome not even wanting to say that.
Inuyasha shrugged"I don't care anymore.What I hate right know is the point of leaving you behind for 3 full months.I... I'm going to miss you"
Their conversation continues in Chappy 3!!!!!!!!!!
