Child of the Demon Sword
Ch. 2
Kagome rose to her feet slowly, and Inuyasha watched her do so. He wanted to go after Kikyo, but he knew he couldn't because Kagome was there. Kagome looked at the group, "If you'll excuse me, I have some unfinished business to take care of." And with that she walked away into the woods were Kikyo wandered.
Inuyasha looked at the group as well, but didn't bother to tell them that he was following her. He hid himself into the trees, and watched her approach Kikyo.
Kagome saw Kikyo standing by a massive tree. Her soul stealers were flying just a bit more above the ground. Kikyo looked at her when she entered into the clearing. Kagome didn't mind her death stare, she did, however, return it with one of her own.
"Kikyo…"
"What?"
Kagome grabbed the handle of her sword, and drew it out. It was thin and slender, but it was also very sharp. Kagome took an offensive stance.
Kikyo laughed slightly out loud. "Do you want to kill me? You do know that it's impossible, don't you?" She was now facing Kagome dead on, and stared at the blade.
"Really? Well, I'll just have to test that out for myself." Kagome was just about to make her attack, but just as she had expected Inuyasha jumped in front of Kikyo. Kagome glared and stood tall. "What are you doing here?"
"Kagome…" He frowned slightly in confusion. "What's gotten into you?"
"Oh, come on Inuyasha! She's already dead, I'm just giving her a free ride home!"
Inuyasha dropped his head, "Kagome what are you talking about? You've…"
Kagome placed her sword back in its sheath, and grabbed her whip, which she cracked loudly. "Am I Kikyo enough for you now?"
Inuyasha jerked his head and looked at her now, and Kikyo took this time to leave. "What are you talking about? I thought you said that you'd gotten over that!"
Kagome flung her whip around, and rolled her eyes innocently. "Yah… Well… I lied."
Inuyasha just gapped at her. Why was she acting this way?
"But you should be glad about that, because if I didn't carry a grudge I wouldn't be here right now would I?" Kagome smiled, and it was a very unnerving smile. "Well?"
Inuyasha stared hard at her, "well, what?"
She cracked her whip, and suddenly a branch close to his head practically exploded. "Are we going to fight, are you to chicken to fight a girl?"
"You really don't expect me to fight you do you?"
"Inuyasha…" she sighed. "I want my sword… If you will not fight me for it, you might as well just hand it over to me now."
Inuyasha placed his hand on Tetsusaiga. "I guess I have no choice." He drew his sword, but it didn't transform.
"No, I don't want to do this! Why do you want me to slay her? She loves me… And I know you loved her… once. I refuse to be your tool against her. If you must fight, use something other than me. I don't want to cry anymore, no more pain. Please, I beg you!"
"Tetsusaiga…" Inuyasha gasped, but nothing happened. In his hand was just an old decrepit sword, and it was useless to him.
Only one other heard the silent voice that cried out in the night. Kagome sighed and cracked her whip once more. This time the whip wrapped itself around Tetsusaiga and pulled if from Inuyasha's hand.
She let it drop in between them.
"Kagome. What are you doing?" Inuyasha said, taking a step toward his sword.
"STOP!" She yelled, and Inuyasha was knocked off his feet by some unknown force. He only gapped at her from his position.
Kagome placed her hands in front of her, and suddenly there was a glowing white orb between them. Kagome looked at the sword, and a white light shot out from the orb and seemed to be absorbed by the sword.
The Tetsusaiga began to glow white, and then there was a burst of light. It seemed like the Tetsusaiga was melting, but it was also taking another form. The two spectators could only watch in amazement.
There in between the hanyou and the miko was a girl. She was a young girl with long white tresses and golden eyes. Her hair covered her body, and the ground in around her.
Kagome's eyes softened when she saw tears in the young girls eyes.
"It's dark, and there is a white light coming from the glowing orb in the sky. I've seen this place in my dreams. Is this what they call humanity, to breath in air for the first time? I know this woman in front of me. She's…"
The girl opened her mouth. She wanted to speak, but it seemed that she couldn't find any words. She fell to the ground and closed her eyes, she was weak from transformation, it was understandable.
Kagome heard of this once, it wasn't the same, but it was similar.
Oh… To be the child of the demon blade.
