Eden's Goddess; Demon's Angel

Chapter 2: From The River They Came

"The forest is restless tonight."

Two figures stood quietly watching the stars in the dark sky.

"Yes, I can sense it too." The dark haired woman whispered, her deep blue eyes shifting to the river in the distance.

She could sense the shift in the river, the water nymphs were fidgety as well and yet it was almost like they were excited too. The feeling of the whole atmosphere was singular to describe.

"Goshibunko, the river is calling." She whispered, before slowly walking away.

The God watched her walk away; he wasn't certain what she was feeling, but decided to follow her after all. He knew that if she felt something that there would most likely be something up. She was the Goddess of the river after all.

Suijin knew that something was coming. The river's song grew louder with each step she took, causing the excitement to increase with it. Reaching the riverbank, she watched as some of the water nymphs swam towards her.

"Mistress, mistress, the gift is here."

"Mistress, the river it sings."

The nymphs were now all jumping around in the water, their sea foam green eyes glowing brightly as they frolicked around.

Suijin could feel the strong pull now. It almost felt like a small buzzing at the edge of her consciousness. Her blue eyes widened as she finally saw the basket. Whatever that was calling her, was in that basket. Not caring that she was getting her feet wet, she entered the cold water and wallowed her way towards the basket

Goshibunko who had followed after the water goddess, was slightly taken back as he watched her make her way into the river. The tree God quickly made his way to the edge of the river.

"What do you have there?" Goshibunko asked watching as the Goddess slowly turned in his direction.

Mint green eyes widened as they came to rest on the infant in Suijin's arms. It was a human baby. He wondered how a human baby appeared in the Ancient Forest. Only Gods, Goddesses, deities and other supernatural creatures inhabited the forest. Humans stayed away from the land, knowing very well that they were not welcome there. The Ancient Forest was the only place in Eden where peace still rained. It was untouched by human hands and the forbidden army's claws.

"What is she doing here? Where did you find her?" The green haired God asked as he stepped closer to Suijin.

"I don't know, what's she doing here. And I found her in this." She finished pointing to the basket on the floor.

Goshibunko furrowed his deep green brows as he gazed at the infant. A quick glance at the water Goddess was enough to assure him that the female was getting attached to the baby and he could not allow that. A human did not belong here.

"We cannot keep her. We could travel to the edge of the forest and leave her with the humans who frequently pass by." He was taken aback as the Goddess narrowed her jewel like eyes at him. Anger was clearly evident in those eyes.

"The river brought her to me. She's mine to keep, the fates wanted it this way."

Amber eyes darkened as the god took a step towards her. She didn't back down and instead narrowed her eyes further at him.

"We cannot keep her, she's human. She does not belong here,"Goshibunko insisted, but deep down inside he knew it was already too late. The possessiveness that emanated from Suijin was more than enough to assure him that she would not let the child go.

"She's my child now. I do not know what kind of circumstances might have brought her here. However I will not give her back." She brought the child closer to her body, her whole posture radiating maternal protectiveness, causing the god to sigh.

Goshibunko knew very well that once the goddess made her mind, there was nothing that would change it. It seemed that the child would be staying after all. He tiredly ran a hand through his leaf colored hair and focused his eyes on the child.

"What shall you call her?"

The smile on Suijin's face was enough to assure him that his decision was the right one. It always felt good to make her happy and he reluctantly admitted that he would do just about everything to see her happy.

He watched as Suijin turned her attention to the child in her arms. To the god's surprise, he watched as the baby's eyes slowly fluttered open. He felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, when those deep indigo blue eyes settled on him. The power lingering in those deep blue eyes was unmistakable. This child was not normal. There was something else.

Nevertheless Suijin seemed completely oblivious, while she cooed at the newborn.

"I shall call her, Kagome." Suijin whispered.

"Kagome." Goshibunko muttered, his now amber eyes focused on the child.

He wasn't certain what the future held, but he knew that this child would definitely change everything.

He moved easily through the dark forest. As soon as he had entered his lands, he had felt his presence. The seer had been right, of course the fool had refused to tell him at first, but after being tortured for weeks, he had finally relented and told him when and where to find him.

For years he had been waiting for this. Since the first time he had heard about the prophecy, he had known that he would be the one to own the child of chaos. With this being in his power, he would lay waste to Eden.

He sneered, perfect set of fangs visible. Revenge would be so sweet. His tongue darted out to lick his lips, he could almost taste their blood on his lips.

The sound of an infant crying brought him out of his musings. A sadistic grin crossed his lips. The sound of water could be heard in he distance. Pushing his way through the thick foliage, he found himself gazing at the calm river. Crimson eyes ran along the shore and settled on a small basket. The sound was coming from there.

Within a few minutes, he had opened the basket and had taken out the infant. The babe, stopped crying and instead gazed at the dark haired male. His crimson gaze bore through the royal blue ones. Already he could feel the hidden power radiating from small boy. With the right training, he would become the perfect weapon and with him, he would finally conquer Eden.

"I shall call you Bankutso." With a smirk on his face, Naraku whirled around and walked back into the dark forest.

TBC...

I know it's short and I'm sorry, but I needed to complete this part of the story. The next chapter will show Kagome all grown up and for those who were confused, Sesshoumaru and Kagome are not siblings. Bankutso and Kagome are. Anyways constructive criticism is welcomed and so are reviews.
