Destiny's Plan
Chapter 4: Don't waste your Time.
Recap: She lifted herself onto the side of the well once again and looked around her. This time something seemed off. There was a feeling of Evil surrounding her, And that's when they attacked. Soon a dozen demons charged at Kagome, each one seemed to be willing to do anything for the jewel around her neck. They picked up pace and were upon her before she could draw her sword.
"This can't be good."
InuYasha smelled the air, as he felt a familiar aura enter this world. He recognized the scent and he recognized the power. However, the scent, So familiar, so vivid in his mind but for some reason he just could not place a name to it.
The Shikon Jewel? That's impossible!, only kagome has possession of it. He looked in the direction that he felt the jewels presence. He was sure he felt it, there could be no mistake. So with a quick jump to his feet he began a dead-run towards the Jewel. Determined to find out who or what it was.
Kagome side-stepped a large serpent demon that wanted to sink its teeth into her side and Hacked its head off in a smooth mechanical motion. These demons are merciless, I can barely fight back.
She managed to swing her sword above her head preparing to cut down the lead demon. It shimmered in the sun, waiting to be soaked in the blood of demons. "Heh, you bastards will be my first test Subjects, I have never fought a demon with a sword before, But I know that my training and my technique will lead to my victory."
She awaited the lead Demon. It was a boar demon with blood dripping from its giant tusk. His eyes were red with bloodlust. She pulled back her arm, and Swung from shoulder to waste with the full strength of her arm.. I haven't been in combat since I was last here. Training is good but this will prove that my skills have improved. She felt her sword Rend the demon's flesh apart.
It let out a horrific scream of pain. His body was slowly being purified. Behind the boar was a Demon that she could only describe as a monkey. She Removed her sword from the boars now disintigrating flesh and Slashed upwards, splitting the monkey in half.
The demons power and spirit were seemingly absorbed by her sword. She stood and glared at the swarm of demons. "Who else wants a piece of the pissed off priestess?–"
She stopped her speech when she noticed another serpent demon coming from her side. She raised her sword and barely deflected the Demons large fangs, not fully successful. One of the demons fangs grazed her side, tearing a piece of her kimono and leaving a gash leading from her front to back. She ignored the urge to scream in pain and backed away from the demon.
She could feel the warm blood stain her kimono as she stood facing the serpent. She awaited its next attack. She stood in her stance, both hands on the handle now. The serpent came straight at her, as if plotting to swallow her whole. Kagome side-stepped the serpent and with a strong hack, removed its head. "these demons haven't got a clue how to fight. Do they?"
On his way there, InuYasha could smell the sweet scent. Blood. He quickly picked up pace.
He entered the clearing and could see a mob of demons by the well. There by the well, fighting off the demons was a woman. She was fighting ferociously, slashing the limbs off of the demons as if it were such a simple task. However he noticed her left side was torn and drenched in blood. She was fighting so gracefully and yet brutally he had never seen such a style before.
The girl ducked beneath a bear demons paw rolling through the gap in its legs, she stood up behind the demon and slashed out the back of its legs. The demon fell backwards and landed on its back with an earth shattering weight.
The girl then stabbed the small blade through the bears stomach. The bear growled in pain as she began to drag it down towards her. The wind swept the shimmering remains around the girl as it was absorbed by the sword, making it so the sword glowed.
He watched her as she stood, admiring her and the power that could lay inside the sword she carried. He then noticed a figure rise behind her, surrounding her in its shadow.
The priestess turned around too late, the demon pierced her with one of his claws right through her shoulder. She screamed in pain.
InuYasha had his hand on his tetseiga and was about to charge the figure. Just then the girl pulled the demon as close as she could by pulling its arm through her own. She then took her sword with a reverse grip and quickly stabbed the demon in his side, penetrating his putrid heart. The demon reduced to ash as the girl clutched her shoulder. She looked up to see her spectator, InuYasha. her eyes widened with recognition. Even though InuYasha still did not recognize her from the distance.
She then fell down to her knees and let out another gasp of pain, before falling to the ground.
He just had to find out who she was. InuYasha then ran to the young girls side. "Hey, can you hear me!" there was no response. "Woman, are you okay?"
He was unfortunate enough to be able to hear her reply. "Go away Mutt Face."
That was the same nick name Koga used to call him. He twitched with aggravation. "Oi, get up!." He said while prodding her with his foot.
She mumbled a response. "Leave me alone before I purify you too." She threatened.
"Hah like you could do anything in your condition." He smirked. "Give up the act; you couldn't defeat me even if you were the healthiest human alive."
"Heh maybe I should deflate that ego of yours." She then pushed herself off the ground, her bangs hid her face. "Now if you don't mind half-breed I'll be on my way."
She then walked away, clutching her shoulder, but not before InuYasha noticed two things about the young girl. One: she was wearing the Shikon Jewel around her neck, and Two: her eyes. Kagome? InuYasha was confused. This cant be Kagome, wasn't she in her world, with the well sealed? How could she be here, why would she be here? And who taught her to use a blade? This couldn't be Kagome.
Kagome was making her way to the village through the forest, making sure to avoid pockets of demons she could feel around her. She could feel tears welling up in her eyes, and the fatigue from the days battle, along with the blood-loss was taking its toll on her. she didn't care, she had to get away as fast as she could.
Was that InuYasha?—but he went to hell with Kikyou a year ago. She thought. She then collapsed. I cant go any farther,…my body cant take much more…
She could feel herself slipping in and out of consciousness, her fatigue out weighed her resolve and she was unable to move.
The last thing she felt was being carried in warm strong arms.
"Kagome?..." Her vision then faded to black.
It seems you can't hear me
When I open my mouth you never listen
You say stay, but what does that mean
Do you think I honestly want to be reminded forever
Don't waste your time trying to fix
What I want to erase
What I need to forget
Don't waste your time on me my friend
Friend, what does that even mean
I don't want your hand
You'll only pull me down
So save your breath
Don't waste your song
On me, on me
Don't waste your time
It's not easy not answering
Every time I want to talk to you
But I can't
If you only knew the hell I put myself through
Replaying memories in my head of you and I
Every night
…
Don't waste your time trying to fix it
So save your breath, don't waste your song
On me, on me
Don't waste your time
