And Her Eyes Were Blue

Part one: PROPHESY

Chapter two: Noise

The noise of the town entered her head long before it came into view. It was like thunder rolling in her temple; a small piece of glass scrapping her brain. She had never felt such a thing and it caused her to stumble. Never had the noise in her head been so loud!

the youkai will kill us all…

the next town over will murder us in our sleep…

my children will grow up in this broken world…

The fears were so loud and so consuming that it was like harsh and scared screams in her ears. Never had the noise been so loud! Back at the mountain she knew that most knew how to shield their minds from her and they often did so she would not have to face the noise. But also, there was not much to feel back in the mountain other then peace and joy.

Sango knew that this would happen. She knew it and yet she had fought it. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Kagome stumble; her breathing was labored, as if each breath was causing her pain. Then slowly, she sunk to her knees and gripped her head. A small cry fell from her lips.

Sango knelled and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Kagome you will have to fight this." She whispered and Kagome look at her confused.

"This curse of mine can not be ignored." She told her softly and continued clutching her head. Up ahead the youkai had slowed to a stop.

Sesshoumaru fixed his ears to listen. The strange girl's breathing and her heartbeat racing. He could make out her cries of pain. His eyes narrowed; she was not bleeding and he was sure that she had come to now injury up to this point. So what was wrong with her?

He turned and faced the two women who were both on there knees. The one with blue eyes was clutching her head and shaking slightly. He made out their sentences, but they were only half truths. Of course, it was not his job to find out. His task was to take her from point A to point B and that was all.

However, if they were being stopped be a simple headache that the girl could not handle, he was very well going to intrude into their lives.

"What is the delay." He said and the one with brown eyes looked up to him in slight panic. He could smell the worry and confusion flowing off her.

"S-she's ill." She stuttered and Sesshoumaru took a step forward and breathed in her scent.

"She's not ill." He replied and the woman looked at him blankly.

"It will be hard for her to be around many people. Especially humans." She told him and he raised a brow; curious.

"We are three miles away from the closest human town." He informed her and she looked away from him as she cursed under her breath.

Kagome could hear Sango and the youkai speaking but her head hurt to much to focus. Wanting to know about what they spoke she willed her mind to shut up. She felt Sango pulling her up, and although she only wanted to remain in a curled up ball on the ground; she complied.

The noise was becoming a numb pain. She felt herself twitch every now and then along with a jabbing pain. Thankful that they seemed to not draw any closer to the town, she tried her best to continue walking.

Desperately and in vain she tried to fight the noise. But no one had ever taught her how to fight it. The ones at the mount had all handicapped her by never telling her that this gift was no gift at all. They never thought for one second that she would be outside of the mountain and away from its protection.

But here she was. Being told to fight a battle when she had no weapons.

She did not speak a word for the remainder of the day. All of her energy was concentrated on a way to keep the noise out. Although she seemed able to turn down the volume; she could not seem to turn it off.

The sun fell and the tree travelers stopped to make a camp. She could hear Sang ourging her to eat but she did not reply to her. She loved Sango as a sister but Sango could not understand what she feeling; even Sango's worries were added to the noise and she could not seem to get away.

Focus on the youkai seemed to help. There was no noise coming from him; he was calm and collected. But she knew that perhaps if he had not masked himself, then there would be noise. But in the moment she was grateful for the one peaceful mind.

The trees and her surrounding were also peaceful and she tried to also focus on them. She knew that leaving would mean facing her unique gift- as they called, but she did not calculate this pain. And sadly, this was only the beginning of it.

Sango made several attempts to entertain her and pull her out of her own world, but none worked. "I can do nothing but breath." She had told her honestly and her friend had given up. Telling her that she was going to sleep and that she should too.

When Kagome knew she was asleep she looked over at the youkai. She had noticed one thing; the closer she was to him, the softer the noise. Biting her lip, she stood and left her and Sango's side of the fire and joined him on his side.

She tried not to look at him, afraid what he would do or say. But her action had worked; the noise was softer- instead the youkai calmness had deflected its loud and hurtful volume.

Sesshoumaru watched as she came to sit on his side of the fire. He was not blind to notice how she had twitched threw out the day. She continually brought her hand to her ears as if she was thinking about tearing them off. A few hours ago he had smelt her blood only to turn and see that her fists were so clenched, that her nails had drawn blood.

Something was defiantly wrong with her. Distantly he wondered if she was crazy; but somehow she did not seem the crazy type. She had hardly spoken a word that day and comparing that to yesterday; it was strange.

He watched her try very hard to ignore him. Deciding that he did not care to be anywhere near her he stood, intending to retreat farther from the fire; perhaps even into the woods.

"No." He heard the soft plead, but he did not oblige it. He took the few steps and retreated were no warmth of the fire would hit him. He watched as she glanced back at him and seemed to be debating what to do next. To his great dislike, she stood and once more moved obviously closer to him.

"Miko, if you do not return to where the other woman sleeps, the outcome will not be fortunate for you." He told her dangerously and she froze in her attempt to get closer. He thought that she had come to her senses but she only stood staring at him, her blue eyes glistening and pulling him in. He looked away from her angry that she was still standing there.

Frustrated that a minute later she had not moved, he sprang at her, to quick for her to see. His clawed hand circled her throat and her eyes grew wide, but not with fear. With surprise and even relief. He growled.

"I may not be able to kill you, but I can inflict pain." Her eyes narrowed and she pulled at his wrist that held her. Satisfied he dropped her and she gasped for air.

Kagome could not help but think of the way that when he touched her; the noise went away. It was as if she was able to feed of him and since he was masked so well, all she gained from him was nothing! Which eliminated the noise.

As he dropped she brought her hand to rub her neck. Yes, he was certainly dangerous, but anything was better than hearing the noise. She took a step to him and his cold and even glare made her shiver in minimal fear.

"It's because you make the noise go away." She tried to explain but his cold glare did not stop. She searched for words to explain but she that was the problem. She had never had to explain. "I can feel them…their worries and fears. They're screaming in my head." She tried yet again but to no avail.

"Whatever your problems are, I care nothing for them." He told her indifferently and she frowned and took a few steps closer to him.

"What's your name?" she asked him slowly and he narrowed his eyes at her.

"We have been over this before." He replied after a few seconds and she nodded her head.

"Your right we have." She looked away from him and up to the moon. It was beautiful out her; that was for sure.

But she had to learn how to control this gift of hers, and if no one from the mountain had done so, then maybe they had not been very wise in her upbringing. She knew not of why she was demanded to leave nor why she was being taken to where ever she was. But she knew that something bigger then herself was going on. And this cold and distant youkai might be her only way to know; Sango knew nothing, after all.

Her mind shifted to the Inuyasha. If only she could find him now; he would surely help her. "Listen, I think…that's something's going on. You see I have this gift, or at least that's what they call it-"

"Miko, why do you inform of things I do not care to know." He said harshly and she winced. "There is something going on; war. I am here to take you were the elders have ordered me to take you and my only motivation is that once you humans think you got everything figured out then the youkai can began to sort the real matters of this world out." Kagome's frown deepened at this.

"I've heard the history…Do you think youkai being completely superior is the answer? Will not history repeat itself?" she asked in genuine thoughtfulness.

He growled softly. Kami if only he could kill this idiot girl and be done with it. But what she said did have some truths. "It will not be all the same." He said not really sure he believed his own words. He watched her as she shifter on her feet.

"Are you…a dog youkai?" Kagome asked him. His eyes were not exactly like Inuyasha's nor was his hair, but she could not help but wonder if they somehow knew of each other.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. "How long will I have to endure you and your questions?" he told her coldly, but strongly she only smiled.

"For as long as they are unanswered in my mind." He growled at her and she took a small step back but continued smiling. "That growl sounds kind of doggish."

"I am an inu youkai." He answered in hopes that it would shut her mouth.

Kagome eyes widened. Inuyasha was an inu youkai too! Or at least half. "Do you know and hanyou by the name of Inuyasha?"

Sesshoumaru's widened momentarily as his body tensed at the name. How did she know of Inuyasha? He did not reply but his mind was working on producing reasons to how she would know Inuyasha.

Kagome waited for him to answers. She had not missed the surprised look that had crossed his eyes for a half second. Sesshoumaru had to have known who she asked for to let his emotionally detached mask slip. But how? Something in her told her that it was not by chance that this youkai had come to escort her. There was something bigger in motion.

His hardened glare told her to pick her battles wisely. The way he tensed informed her that whoever Inuyasha was to him, perhaps it was nothing good. She sighed and awkwardly lowered herself to the floor and tried to make herself comfortable on the ground. Traveling light meant no sleeping supplies.

"Just please stay near. It's not like I really want to be next to you, the noise just hurts so bad." She said turning her back from him. She slipped into sleep without the noise invading her head, so she guessed that he had obliged.

Sesshoumaru waited until the other woman woke before moving. He had consented to her mainly because if the annoying girl was asleep, then that she was not awake and asking questions of him. He was glad at least the brown eyed woman woke first.

"A word." He told her hoping that the one with the blue eyes would not wake up. Brown eye looked over at Kagome, as if to make sure she was safe, and then nodded.

"What's going on?" he asked simply and brown-eye hesitated.

"I thought it was not your job to know?" she asked sharply.

"Indeed, but if there is something that you are not telling me that may effect this mission, I need to be told. For example…what is this noise she hears?" The woman's face dropped.

"Her power…its untrained. None of us even know the extent. I believe that is why Lady Keade allowed her away from the mountain. But she can hear people's fears and pain. Unless it is blocked in their mind she will even feel their fears and pain; as if it were he own."

Sesshoumaru thought over the explanation. That would explain why she begged to be near him; his mind was most certainly blocked off. "And none of you have thought to teach her how to block these thing from her mind." The woman said nothing in reply.

"It is not so easy." She finally bit out and Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow.

"All things can be controlled." He told her coldly.

"Then why don't you do it?" she snapped back at him and he was ready to threaten her when her heard blue-eye's breathing become shorter.

"She wakes." The two stepped away from each other instantly; it was understood that they were not to speak of the conversation.

"I feel that the noise is not her gift. There is something more; and Lady Keade has set us free because the answer is outside of the mountain." Sango mumbled to him before walking to Kagome's side.

He eyed the two with mild interest. So they both thought that something bigger was going on? Well, it was not his concern. His concern was to get her to point B as soon as possible. That was it.

Blue eyes glanced over at him; pulling him in.

Somehow, no matter how much he denied it, he knew that this mission would lead to something more; whether it had to do with her or not.

He was no idiot; the women were right. Something bigger was taking place. He willed himself not to care.
