Chapter 2 Curse Of The Sword 7/4/2003
Thanks for the review from senseistephino! :) So far I haven't gotten any flames and I want to keep it that way. After all I don't enjoy destroying peoples lives or do I...hmm I'll have to think about that. Anyway heres chapter 2!
"I want to help you so I can be free of this sword."exclaimed Kyle by picking up the sword.
"The sword?"said Kikyou, she had thought he would want some kind of reward for this. Like money, power, maybe a night with her. Something of the sort.
"Yes the sword has a dragon god named Demis in it."Kyle said with a sad gaze staring at the sword in his hand.
"But what does this have to do with you?"
"I'll tell you the whole story."Kyle said before she could ask anything else.
"When I was in my own time my parents were fighting so I left the house. I walked all the way to the nearest park. When I finally got to though to a clearing in tne park I saw a man in a baboon pelt killing what looked like a demon. The man ripped out of the demon a shard of a jewel. Then the man turned his he to where I was hiding. After that he walked over to me and picked me up and threw me inside some kind of I was on the other side the man in the baboon pelt said that he was Naraku. Then he dragged me through another portal."
"We were in what looked like a underground room. I spent days down there getting tortured. But what was strange is that he taught me how to use a sword. Until finally I found a way out. By using a piece of metal that I managed to rip off the bars. I picked the lock and got out of the room that had been my prison."
"As soon as I got out of that room there was this sword by the door. When I grabbed the sword I felt the most horrible pain in my life. It was like a thousands hot daggers stabbing me at once. After the pain was gone I looked all over the castle but Naraku must have left. I left the castle and traveled trying to find a way back to my time."
" I learned about the curse on the sword on my travels. Also I found out that my eyes changed from blue to black because of it. The only way to get the curse off of the sword is to do more good then evil that Demis did."
"Oh so that's why you want to help me. So lets go!"Said Kikyou, eager to get this all over with and help him in the process. And see his true intentions of course.
"Wait! In order for the spell to work you have to give up whats holding you to this world."Kyle exclaimed before she could get her hopes up.
"And how do I do that?"
"Easy you'll have to tell me."he replied with a small, comforting smile.
"What, Tell you! Why?"
"Because I'll be the one casting the spell and It will help you lose your attachment to this world."explained Kyle.,"Also don't worry about dieing, I'll cast the spell before you you should tell me before that way it will make a long story short. As long as you keep some of whats holding you to this world."
"I guess I'll do it then."Kikyou said, through a little less excited. Telling a stranger about her life would be harder then the spell itself.
"Great! I'll be outside cooking if you need me."With that Kyle walked outside and left Kikyou by herself.
"I just hope this works." thought Kikyou before stepping outside minutes after Kyle had left.
When Kikyou was outside, she looked around and saw that the sun was camp where, they currently were, wasn't too far from where she fell.
As she walked over to where Kyle was, which was by a camp fire, she asked him,"What are you cooking?"
When she asked that he jumped up.
"Oh you scared me. I'm just cooking fish would you like some?"
"Yes."Kikyou responded to his question. She didn't need to eat, but it might unnerve him if she didn't.
"We'll leave tomorrow morning."said Kyle.
This was chapter 2 next one is chapter 3 Start of a new quest and the first sacred item.
And please remember what I said at the end of chapter 1.
