Chapter 3: Memories of a Bloody Past
'Tell me aniki… If I didn't do those things… Will I be.. Less scarred? Or will I still remain impossible to save?'
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
"Miko.. Its impossible Koenma. If she DOES have miko ki.. It should`ve eliminated the youki or the youki should`ve fought with the pure reiki.. It simply doesn't make sense. It should`ve automatically killed her." Kurama stated towards the silent Rekai prince.
*It`s completely TABOO! No wonder she was called exiled.. She is considered an abomination in the Makai that`s for sure.* Youko butted in.
'Don't talk as if you know my entire life hybrid.' Hiei looked at the ground, wallowing in unfamiliar and highly unwelcomed guilt.
"Tsk." Kurama glanced at him before conversing once more with Koenma.
"Wai-wai-wait! What the fuck is a miko?!" Kuwabara and Yusuke simultaneously yelled, tired of being left in the dark.
"A miko is technically everything a yokai is not. If youkai have youki, miko have reiki meaning the tainted and the pure." Kurama explained at the two.
"Heh. Made sense. Its an entire body made out of opposite sides.. No wonder she`s hated.. Mah. Im going home Koenma, aint interested in this kind of shit." Yusuke didn't wait for Koenma to respond and dragged Kuwabara with him towards Ningenkai.
A tense silence echoed along the expanse of the room as the three stared at each other. Finally, and surprisingly, Hiei broke the eerie silence.
"Koenma. Why did the Lord of the western lands called her his sister?"
The prince of rekai kept silent. Contemplating the options if he will or wont tell the whole story of the exiled yokai. Looking at the two with intense eyes that made him looking even more mature from his teenage glamour, a sighed escaped his lips and he coplied.
"I hope that this will stay and will be left in this room, understand?" earning a nod –if Hn-ning is considered a nod on Hiei`s part- from the two he started relaying the story of the tragic Exiled.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
She felt funny.. Being encased in such a powerful and warm embrace after having her skin torn, burned or skewered felt really unfamiliar to her. The sensation of having something in contact with her skin without it harming her felt really alien to her.
She forgot how to respond and instead, her soulless eyes looked at the mahogany ceiling over his shoulder where a silky waterfall of silver tresses littered her vision.
"Im sorry.." his voice was stoic yet, she didn't miss the underlying tone of sadness, pain and regret.
Now she hated herself from being numb. She hated herself from losing the ability to offer comfort to her protector.
She loathed herself.
"Aniki.. Im here now. I will not go away. I wont leave you alone again." Her voice was softer, compared to the she used in Rekai.
Sesshomaru pulled back, he cupped her face and he felt himself crack at the utterly broken eyes he once adored, looking at him with numbness and acknowledgement.
He missed those eyes looking up to him in pride and awed.
"Tell me.. Why did you do it?"
Kagome knew he`s blaming himself for what she did to save him.
"Tell me Aniki… If I didn't do those things.. Will I be… less scarred? Or will I still remain impossible to save?" Sesshomaru, looked at her in question, not understanding the cryptic statement.
"Even if I didn`t do it.. I will still land in the very state you see me as now. At least, I managed to twist it to base my own desires… Stop blaming yourself aniki."
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
"There! She`s over there!"
"Kill her in sight!"
"Go there! Block the exit you fool!"
"There she is!" she ignored the clanking of armors and swords as she sprinted her way throughout the whole hall way, kicking doors open all the way.
"Tsk." Her youthful face crunched up in annoyance as she saw that her way was blocked by soldiers littering up more and more.
Flicking both swords in hand, she ducked, missing the swords aimed at her head as both katana`s slashed the soldiers in clean halves. Ignoring the blood splashing on her face and body, she continued her 'search'.
She saw a grand door decked in purple and black designs and then she knew.
Turning, she used the momentum of her spin and let her right foot force the door open, her black cape flailing dramatically.
"Hello Hanayome*-chan.." Drawled a handsome yokai with black tendrils as hair and bloody gems for eyes.
"Do you love me so much that you came here just to mate me?" Kagome`s eyes narrowed at the putrid false words escaping the man`s lips.
"Im here because I`ll do something that is everything but pleasing to you, Naraku." She pointed a sword at his throat, her heterochromian eyes darkening with fury.
Naraku threw his head an laughed, as if finding someone out for his life an amusing predicament.
"Long before you got robbed by that MUTT.. Your already mine.. As long as you have MY mark, you`ll be forever mine!" Yokai with every size and species lunge at the hybrid as they abide their master`s command.
Kagome did her element and Naraku watched her dance, his sick adoration towards the powerful female growing with every blood she shed.
As the last body of a demon fell, Kagome stood panting as blood bathed her form.
"Are you going to kill me now?" Naraku drawled in amusement.
She didn't answer but instead, walked her way to close the distance between them.
"You do know that even your BELOVED brother wont be able to save you for killing the Lord of the Northern Lands.." his answer was a sneer.
"Do you think.." her face formed a devil`s smirk that was not supposed to be on her features and Naraku felt something coming. "That I`m doing this because of my own reason?"
Naraku remained silent before realization dawned on him and he hissed.
"You bitch!" He snarled.
Kagome laughed, enjoying the panicked and angry look on her torturer`s face.
"Yes Naraku.. I KNOW.." She skipped and twirled her sword as Naraku pushed himself out of his throne.
"Im not doing this out of revenge you pathetic little spider!" She slashed her sword and electricity coursed through it, obliterating the gargoyle nearby Naraku.
"Im doing this for Sesshomaru-sama!"
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
"What?" Kurama asked dumbfounded and even Hiei`s eyes widen a fraction.
Koenma nodded at them solemnly, even he was disgusted at the fact he had informed the two yokai.
*That`s.. Just wrong..* Youko mumbled, nausea traveling through his non tangible form.
-And this is coming from a kitsune that couldn't even control his own libido?- Hiei sneered, but he might not admit it but he was quite repulsed himself.
"Koenma.. How can Naraku be Kagome`s father? I believe Im more than confused."
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
"When are you going to stop hurting yourself Sesshomaru?" A sultry voiced echoed from the study wher Sesshomaru tensed from reading some documents and scrolls.
"What do you mean Fuyu?" An ethereal young yokai stepped out from the shadows, his piercing purple eyes looking at the taiyokai`s back as furry black ears stood twitching on top of his head.
"She might be oblivious about it but hiding behind a façade of a brother is not cutting it Sesshomaru." Tossing his thick hair over his shoulder, Fuyu indignantly tossed himself flat on Sesshomaru`s couch.
"…Leave me Be Fuyusuke." Sesshomaru replied, his grip on the scroll tightening, leaving pointy holes due to his claws.
"Im just telling you Sesshomaru, with you making her your very own flesh and blood, mating her is more than impossible."
A tense silence echoed along the study, neither ready to make a noise. Finally, Sesshomaru sighed his answer.
"I know.."
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
