Loving You is so Easy

Chapter Three

Her power wrapped about herself, rippled outwards with strength unseen in a ningen for hundreds of years. Unbeknownst to her, thousands of demons be they full of half for miles around the park were pausing in their every day duties as she let loose her hold on her powerful soul.

Hers' was a soul that had withstood the test of time and the fires of hell. It was a soul which had been born in heaven and sent to Earth and beyond the mortal plain, in the hopes that one day she would be a savior for both demons and humans upon Earth.

"Hello.." She called out to the voice that begged for help, willing the person to respond to her. "Where are you, who are you?"

Now fully within the thick bunch of trees it was hard to believe that she had just left the bright morning sunshine behind her. Here, where she stood, very little light made it through the tall, thick trees and abundant bushes and shrubs. She looked around her, fearing that she would become lost if she turned about one too many times. 'Wait, I'm in a city! All I have to do is run in one direction long enough and I will have reached civilization!' She berated herself for letting her mind play such tricks on her. She knew better than to fall victim to panic.

"Help, pleease.."

She stopped in her tracks. She knew the other was close by, the whisper had become slightly louder. Moving to the left slightly she searched the ground as she spread the bushes at her feet, searching as she went.

"I'm coming, keep talking, so I can find you." She called out to the voice.

"Here. I'm right here."

Kagome furrowed her brow. It seemed as though the voice were right beside her, behind her, in front, but looking around herself she could see no one on the ground anywhere. "where?" She asked, as her panic began to take hold once more.

She could feel an almost black force closing in on where they were. It's power strong, but nothing she and her companions of a time long past could not take of, but they were not here. Only she was. She began to shake slightly as her fear gripped her.

Jumping and shrieking she leaped away from where she had stood a moment ago, looking back at the spot. She searched for what had touched her shoulder but found nothing there.

"Hello?" She called out once more, her hand going to her shoulder to touch the spot that something else had touched mere moments earlier. Cradling it as though it had been hurt.

Feeling something warm and slick sliding through fingers she slowly turned her head, lifting her hand slowly and splayed her fingers she stared upon them. Her mouth opening slightly, her heart thundering within her chest and her blood became a roaring river in her ears.

Even without the light she knew what it was. Blood. Blood upon her shoulder. Raising her head in slow motion, not wanting to see what it was that had dripped the red vicious liquid upon her slowly brought her eyes up. Her hands went to her mouth, her arms folding in at the elbows pressed firmly against her breast as she released a blood curdling scream.

Wanting to close her eyes to the sight before her, to turn her head so she would not have to look upon the gruesome sight. She wanted to run, to escape before it was too late. Her Aura becoming a beacon in the darkness as she lost all control of it.

She was being stalked, her knew. The beast that had ensnared the female demon above her, was now circling her. Walking the perimeter of holy power as it searched for a weak spot. Hidden deep within the darkness, preventing her from getting a look at it.

"Help me, please, help me."

Kagome looked once more upon the torn and rent flesh of the other being, hanging in mid air, twenty feet off the ground by a rope tied about her feet. Even from here, she could see where the bone protruded from her skin, could see the long ragged rips through her flesh on her cheeks and exposed skin. The fingers of the being having been bitten off at the third knuckle. Blood drenched the body and dripped down in a slow pit pattering way.

Swallowing back her bile and vomit, Kagome fought with herself to regain control. She was expending too much energy in her mad panic. Realizing that she did not need her sight to find the being that stalked her, hunted her, she closed her eyes and drew in deep calming breaths.

Grasping hold of her aura once more she reeled it in and formed it into a dome around herself. Spreading out her arms in font and behind of herself, she set the size and then opened her eyes once more. It would take a clear mind to figure her way out of this one.

Reaching into her pocket she almost sighed with relief as her fingers touched the cold hard steel of her pocket knife. Though the blade was small, barely that of three inches it was very strong and incredibly sharp. Clutching it within her hand she looked about her. 'Use what is around you.' She thought as her eyes took in her surrounding.

Cringing slightly as her gaze landed on bones scattered about her. How had she missed them before when searching for the voice? Shaking her head, she eyed the tall thin trees around her, biting her lip, she nearly groaned at her own feeble idea as she walked forth towards a sapling.

Brandishing her knife she began to whittle away at the tree just above her head. In moments she had sliced off the top most branches of the little tree and formed the tip in a sharp point. Breathing heavy, trying to ignore the sounds and pleading words of the female strung up in the tree, she then knelt and proceeded to whittle at the base as well.

Screaming she fell in fear as something big and strong struck out at her barrier behind her. It shimmered slightly for a moment before calming once more. She whipped around every which way, trying to get a look at where it was or what it was, but it was no use. The thing was in its' own habitat, she was the outsider here.

Minutes later she stood up and brandished her newly made spear, nearly loosing heart as she looked upon the weapon, she herself had made.

Fleetingly she thought of just fleeing for her life. Of seeking out help for the creature strung up above her, but quickly she dismissed the idea. The minute she left the clearing the monster in the darkness would devour his catch and be gone before she could return with help.

Despite knowing that it would be the smart thing to do, she stayed where she was. She couldn't in good conscious leave a wounded individual to die, to be murdered while she ran for her life. It just was not in her. Resolve stuck in place, she turned upon her feet, her spear held firmly within her hands she flooded it with purifying energy and allowed her barrier to drop...
