Chapter 1: Meteor Falling
-------------------------------------
[Dream]
"It's so dark…"
A pair of piercing marigold eyes stared idly at his surroundings. He was secluded and was muffled by the darkness of the forest. The shadows of the trees towered over his lanky form. The hair on the back of his neck pricked up by a sudden draft…he felt something amiss…
-He could feel the Earth tremble…-
-The cries of pain echoed in his ears. Battle.-
Jumping out of his thoughts, his connection to the outer world, his large, almond-shaped eyes narrowed and he self-consciously started pacing in the seclusion of underbrush and the roots of the ancient trees.
"Ancient? How did I know that the trees were ancient…?"
He glanced upwards and through the dark green canopy of trees, he saw the stars twinkling, floating in the infinite void of black. Moving his golden gaze a few inches, he saw the white luminous moon, half-way dipped into the onyx shadows above. Breathing in the air, he could smell the heavy scent of life, the musty undergrowth of age, and in the down current, the breeze also picked up something else…blood.
"Blood…who is dying? Do they need help?"
He panicked slightly and blindly followed his nose. The rushing winds going against his face, caressing his cheeks before falling away, encouraged him to run faster. He pounded his way to the battle but stopped short when he neared a small pond. Slowly, he slinked his way towards it…something was glowing and the water replicated the light…
That's when Rei gasped.
The pond reflected his silhouette as he approached, but it was different because his form in the water was glimmering brightly, just like the same stars above his head. Unsure whether or not it was an illusion, he dipped a slender paw into the water.
"Paw?!"
Wide cat eyes examined the soft, white fur that replaced his skin and the hard soles underneath his paws that could retract the sharp golden claws. Golden armor ran down his neck and shoulder plates were fitted snugly on his shoulders. They gleamed in all their glory under the waning light of the moon. Turning his head around to look behind his shoulder, he saw a long white tail and hind paws. His fur was patched down by a pattern of green stripes.
"I must look like…Driger…"
His musings and examinations were interrupted when a large rumble broke through the sky and the Earth fell quaking. Rei gave out a startled roar and narrowly avoided a falling tree that decided to collapse after the earthquake.
Recovering from the tumble, Rei, in his Driger form, ran towards the noise by following his newly acquired acute senses. He took a deep whiff from his surroundings and the stench of blood was heavy and quite noticeable. He also noted how wrong it smelled. It didn't taste (A/N: Tasting the air…) like human blood, a tangy, coppery taste, but more salty and bitter.
"HIRAIKOTSU!"
The echo of a female voice sounded in the entire forest and no sooner did he hear that voice did a giant boomerang, with one of its edges covered in blood, slice through the trees easily as if the trees were processed paper. His gaze watched the weapon fly through the air in a low altitude, nearly slicing his head off, and rebounding back through the trees again where it came from.
"Amazing…if it wasn't so dangerous…"
Rei, shakened by the fact that a giant boomerang narrowly missed decapitating his head from his body, hesitated as he emerged from the forest. He felt quite exposed once out of the forest and the snow white fur did not help in camouflaging and his worries on that tripled when he saw the gory display before him.
Rei, himself, was on top of a hill and down below him, only 30 meters away, were monsters and demons. Doing battle with the demons was a woman, dressed in black and pink armor, seemingly holding the same boomerang with ease and throwing it towards the demons. A few meters away from her, was a dark clothed monk, bashing the demons away from him and a little ball of fluff. Above them was a giant cat that was banded by black stripes, flinging fire at the demons. However, something else caught his eyes too that flashed through the sky like a red streak. A silver haired person dressed in red was wielding a large blade and slashing through the demons. The person was agile and swift with his blows and he decimated more then half of them in two blows.
As he watched them battle, he felt his own heart quicken in his chest with his breath constricted in his lungs. The smell of blood was really over-powering his senses.
Unknown to him, one of the demons spotted him and shrieked, driving the attention away from the monster slayers and towards the white tiger. The humans blinked in confusion as they watched the monster fleeing from them and attacking something else situated on the hill above them.
Rei blinked twice as the demons dived towards him and by instinct he began running, the adrenaline coursing in his veins. He took off, down the hill, towards the other humans.
"Wait, what if they mistaken me as an enemy?"
But it was too late to change course now, the demons were swiftly catching up to him. His heart pounding against his chest, he focused his sight in front of him and saw that the woman was readying her boomerang again.
-"Don't hit me…do NOT hit me!"-
The woman raised her eyebrows and turned to the man next to her. Rei noticed her mouth moving and then the man shook his head instantly, answering no, and then pointing towards the demons and Rei. The woman nodded and threw her weapon at the demons behind him, a hand span away from hitting him.
Rei sighed with relief, ran past the other humans, and slid to a slow halt. Safe. The demons were once again attacking the humans. Now he felt a tad guilty for bringing back the trouble to them. Then another thought struck him.
"Wait, if I look like Driger, did I inherit his attacks?"
Rei turned around and saw that next to the monk, the fluffy human shaped demon, he had mistaken him earlier as a really small dog, was in danger.
"Might as well try…"
Rei roared defiantly and pounced at the demon attacking the small kitsune. He unsheathed his claws and in a swift movement, the demon laid dead at his paws as the tainted blood dripped out of the large slash he created on the dead demon's body. Nausea swept through him as the ranking stench of blood filled his nostrils. Picking up the unconscious fluff in his mouth, he walked a few ways away from the battle grounds and set down the small kitsune-youkai beside him gently.
He noticed that through out the battle, the others watched him warily but did nothing to hurt him. Rei's tail twitched constantly and as the last of the demons were destroyed, the small demon beside him stirred.
The kitsune demon's eyes widened in fright and stuttered as he laid his eyes on the tiger. "Euhhh…don't eat me please!"
Rei stared curiously at the little guy before feeling sorry for him. He must be really scaring the little guy but he is also scaring himself. How can he show so much compassion to a figment of his imagination? Isn't this all a dream? Shaking his head, Rei laughed, sounding more like a hearty growl to Shippou, and he beckoned the small demon to follow him with another swish of his tail.
"They probably don't even understand me. Might as well resort to the most native of all languages…"
Rei tossed his head towards the kitsune-youkai's other friends and found that the humans were staring at him hesitatingly. Rei padded forwards and the woman clutched onto her boomerang weapon tighter. She was about to throw it at Rei if he came any closer but stopped because the giant cat with the black rings around her tail landed and somehow transformed into a smaller, cuter form. It mewed and ran towards Rei, unafraid.
Distinctively, he heard the woman speak, "This is strange but if Kirara thinks this is a friend, then it is." She lowered her weapon and Rei gave out a sigh of relief.
Then the man beside her spoke, "Well, he did save Shippou. I saw him do it."
"Nuh uh!" Shippou was already beside the monk again. "I bet he was going to eat me!"
"You're over-reacting. If he was, he wouldn't have stayed here and let you get away this easily." The monk smiled at the paranoid demon.
Rei was slightly embarrassed at the attention he was receiving and instead glanced down at Kirara who was now sitting in front of him.
The silver haired warrior with the white dog ears on his head frowned as he approached the group, "He doesn't smell like a demon. He smells sort of like a human but weirder."
"But I am human…!" thought Rei indignantly.
Rei growled at the Inu-hanyou and the hanyou merely smirked, "So you understand us eh? Tell us what you want or else scram before I hurt you."
Before Rei could retort back at the half demon, his heart hammered very hard against his chest and he felt as if the gravity grew heavier around his mind and head. Rei meowed pitifully as the brain wracking pain hit him with full force and as soon as it came, it was gone. Rei blinked back a few tears and looked up towards the sky, ignoring the strange looks the humans gave him.
"…something went wrong. Someone is hurt!"
And then he saw it.
A fiery form was hurtling down from the sky and it was heading their way. The waving flames lapped against the object it was burning as it fell. He barely saw it, but behind the burning object, he saw the moon again, and this time, it was a pale red.
"Take cover!" he heard the monk yell out to his comrades.
Rei stayed where he was, rooted down by fear and expectancy. The giant fireball came closer and closer to them all.
"What the hell is that tiger thinking?!"
Rei heard and saw no more of anything as the hurtling ball of fire impacted on the ground, creating an enormous crater…
[End Dream]
-------------------------------------
[1:00 am, Kinomiya Dojo]
Rei's eyes dilated as a scream tore at his throat. Panting with streams of sweat dancing down his forehead, he glanced around the dojo, spotting his friends beside him, one of course was not there since the beginning of the day, and read the numbers on the digital clock on the floor.
"It's only one…"
Sighing, he laid back down on his futon unceremoniously, thinking. "That was all just a dream?"
Making sure it was just a dream; he glanced down at his hands and touched his face. "I guess it was really just a…dream. But it was so real, I felt as if I was really there…"
He got up, walked quietly out of the room, and sat outside on the porch for some fresh air. The air cleared his mind but the cold impression didn't leave him.
Looking upwards, the stars were littered throughout the sky in the same pattern as in his dream. "Why wouldn't that stupid dream leave me alone?"
He spotted a shooting star flying through the sky, its tail streaming behind it. Immediately, the fire-consumed object in his dream invaded his thoughts. Shaking his head, Rei went back inside. "I'm thinking too much about a dream. I'm just over-reacting…Besides, there's a tournament to attend tomorrow…"
-------------------------------------
[Sunset Hill, Tokyo; 1:00 am]
Higurashi, Kagome sat on her windowsill, the cold, night wind playing with her black hair. She yawned slightly before she continued staring lazily at the stars in the sky.
"Stupid Inuyasha…he's such a jerk!"
The 15 year old teenager hugged her legs closer to herself for warmth before banishing that thought from her head. Sighing to herself, she decided to return back to feudal Japan after tomorrow. This was due to that fact that her brother, Souta, forced her to promise to attend some sort of 'match' that he was battling in tomorrow.
Muttering to herself, she spoke to herself, "Hopefully that will swerve my thoughts elsewhere…"
The pallid moon hung in the black blanket that hung over the world. Kagome watched the stars glimmer and caught sight of a shooting star making its way through the dark sky.
"It's so beautiful," breathed in Kagome.
Closing her eyes, she made a wish on it.
"I wish that we could get back the Shikon no Tama from Naraku soon…" She bit her lip before continuing. "…and that Inuyasha will always be safe and won't come into any harm."
She sighed and swung her legs back into her room. Closing the window, she took one more glance outside before pulling on the curtains.
"Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day."
-------------------------------------
[To Be Continued]
Okay, I admit it. I made the beginning a bit more Rei-centric. Don't worry; everyone will have their own spotlight later.
I'll give you a speech map if you want one next chapter…that is…if I'm writing a next chapter o-o; I still don't know if I should continue or not…hehe…=) I still need to get the plot straight…XD
Thank you for your valuable time readers.
