Chapter 4
Dark, that is what it was and death and blood was on the wind but that was normal lately. The rumors were that of a demoness from the deepest pits of Makai has come to kill them all. Some ran away saying you will be eaten by plants or purified if you cross her path. A few believe it to be the wrath of the Kami's that have sent them a damned miko or a glorified demoness but one thing was clear. The demons of Makai were terrified to get any where close to where new rumors were spread. None described her because they feared even looking upon this rumored demoness. A few said as long as you don't look upon her then she will not see you and will move on but no one thought to seek of those who have seen this demoness. One demon did try to tell the others she only kills in defense but they thought him bewitched and he was killed.
All of this was spread like the plague across Makai though it did take about 5 years for it to make its way back. No description though was given of this demoness because those who claimed to have peaked on her were killed by other demons hoping she would not make her way there and kill them for finding out one had looked upon her.
Soon the rumors were starting up again by these curious ears and though others fled, he did not. He wished to see who could make such a stir and more importantly, if he knew this female that sounded so familiar. He watched a figure walking towards him after it just got done killing another demon that tried to attack him/her. The shadows seemed to aid it with keep the demon from being revealed. The shouts of war cries and 'its the demoness,' 'kill her,' were yelled. He watched the figure make a whip and killed the demons without breaking pace.
"Just my luck, I get stuck down there 50 years trying to get up here and find out what happened to everyone and every demon runs away or tries to kill me. They didn't even give me a chance to explain myself before they attacked. I didn't know they could be so suicidal. If I could, I would subdue them but that hasn't worked. Seems like the demons that do listen are killed anyways. I must be ugly or something if they avoid me like a damn plague. All these damn rumors about me are not even true, its like High School all over again."
A demon attacked her again and she sliced it with her sword and slumped down against a tree where the moon light hit. She purified the blood off her sword and looked up at the moon thinking. She closed her eyes and let her body rest for a few moments till she would be attacked again.
"I give myself a few more days at the least till I drop from exhaustion. This senseless killing hasn't stopped since I got out of the pit 5 years ago so I might as well go back. I made it out once I can do it again but if I stay up here any longer then I have no clue how I'm going to make it." 'Sigh.' She opened her eyes to show the world her beautiful saphire orbs that looked so desperately at one of the moons.
"I guess I'll just make my way back there and stay to recover and come back and travel the shadows for a while till the demons hopefully forget my aura or scent. It would be the best plan or I will never find out what happened to my friends after the wish and Naraku." She heard a rustle and soon an injured demon came out. It looked at her in aww and then terrified when it realized who she was. Soon it was pleading for its life. She looked back to the moon.
"I'm not going to kill you. All those rumors are false, I'm only looking for my friends but no one seems to listen these days. They see me for whats in my blood and attack or run away. Honestly I'm just another demoness who is trying survive while looking for her comrades or at least find out what happened to them."
She closed her eyes again and let her head fall to her knees as she brought them up to her chest. She wrapped her left arm under her head for extra support while the right hang limply still clutching the sword. The demon looked at her closely. The demon was a wolf of white furs. She brought her head up again and looked at the demon studying him as if she just thought of something.
"Wait! Are you from Ayame's wolf demon clan. You know, Ayame and Kouga. Kouga was a prince of the eastern moutain tribe and Ayame was in love with him. Please tell me you know who I am talking about!" The wolf demon nodded.
"OMG YES! I finally found someone that might know what happened! Please, call me by Kagome. I use to be the guardian of a powerful jewel, I was a miko but Naraku cursed me to be demon. I fought along side them in battle and after I defeated him we started to make a wish to rid of the jewel but Naraku's heart was still alive and he sucked me into a portal that made me fall down into the pit here in Makai." She was standing up and waving her arms wildly and twirling a little. "I'm saved!" She spread her arms out as she looked at the sky.
She looked at the demon who was starting to think her nuts and then she realized how much of an idiot she seemed right then and blushed. She immediately sat down facing the demon. "Well yeah I guess I looked like a fool there but going from having friends and allies all around you and then people trying to kill you for about 55 years, it can do a lot to a person. So when can you take me to them?"
The demon was still looking at her oddly. "I'm actually lost right now. I couldn't find my way back after battle and we still don't have an exact location so I'm not sure where they are." He watched her shining face sink down into a frown. She sat pretzle still holding her face in her left hand.
"Damn, then I'm still lost too. Well your injured so until we reach your comrades or you feel like you can sruvive on your own then you should stay here. Just don't go telling anyone about your discovery of me till you reach those two cuz it seems the others end up dead cuz the other demons think I bewitched them or something." The demon nodded. She patted the spot next to her. "Come on over here and sit. I'll watch over things while you rest up and as soon as you feel better we will begin tracking them down."
The wolf demon made his way towards her warily and finally sat up against the tree to rest. Things were peaceful and Kagome had a joy in her that spouted a new hope. She wasn't going to go back to the pits yet. She was going to find them and see what happened after all these years.
Wasn't that a nice chappie? Well yeah, I don't think I will let her get reunited with her friends just yet though. I know mean but I want people to really understand what she is going through and not just by a few battles, I want everyone to see the real hardships and loneliness she has gone since everyone was taken from her grasp.
