Bloody Jaspers
~ Chapter Four ~
Colors
By Inuyashas Youkai
It was just before the sun rose that the grounds began to quake within the friendly new village that found Kagome but a week before , and the eruption of this new development found her sleeping , but something lingering within was not , as it now shown with change in her eyes , once seemingly created from bark. With her eyelids fluttered open quickly to hear the overwhelming screams in its attempts to bust out her eardrums , then jumping to her feet , oblivious to the changes occurring within her ,as she continued to run out to assist.
When the sight of carnage crashing upon violently within her sights , Kagome sprung , leaping into action to help fight of the hordes of demons coming at the village relentlessly. Soon joined with some of the men of the village , as the woman, and children scattered in randomly chosen directions , seeking many didn't make it to their promised safety because they were in the end slain , being marked as another casualty of war, but so were those taken on both sides to follow the path of the lost , when slaughtered in such a way.
It was within those crowds of demons sent but a force unknown , but only felt as the vile evil was bubbling up within the nearby atmosphere in copious amounts , and being enough to rape the living , as well as to strangle the peace within the undead, it was that potent. This great destructive power was even affecting that of Kagome, as a miko , but not directly only passing thru her to taunt the spirit that now attempted to violate the purity inside her soul. In addition it was then using the bodies of the dead , as to string them up like puppets , and act against those of their own , controlled by an outside force not far away.
Hearing the familiar chant from something within the surrounding trees , caused the miko to grow furious with need for vengeance for whom she discovered lingered within them , as the words spoken brought about another attack against them using those of the fallen.
"Dance Of The Dead "
" Kagura !"
Whilst fighting amongst those still standing within the village , Kagome grew weak inside her pathetic human body , and she knew if something didn't change fast for the better in their favor , this battle would be a dead wringer for those on the opposing side . Those of the fallen still came , and the mismatched demons coming at them in unbelievable numbers still , as it seemed was only a distraction , while gaining more with their kills to rise , then with a will not of their own , turning against them. Looking beside her, Kagome saw now that the village miko now stood at her side , seemingly as a unknown pull was tauntingly attempting to yank her towards a uncertain location, and somehow able with the shock of the new arrival to reign in some of her lacking control when gaining the look of questioning concern staring back at Kagome.
" Still with us , Kagome?" The other miko questioned seeing the obvious changes shown on her features, if not for feeling it within her now fluctuating aura.
" Outside of feeling exhausted , I'am fine..Why?" Kagome questioned , hiding the fact that she too had been injured.
" I see the change within you miko , and if your not careful , it will come . Whether wanted or not , your distraught aura proves it to be so.."
From the far corner of the trees something shot forth , and came rushing at her from the other side of which she stood , thus proving to be lethal with the pain forcefully permitting it's entrance within her flesh, joining with large amounts of blood running down her side. Gasping over the shock from the blood loss flowing out from her injury , but then again it wouldn't be the only thing that was streaming down with red at the moment , as her eyes became to bleed with a more reddish hue than prior.
Pure evil emotions began to take claim over her intent , as the scent of blood lingered within her nose , and struck a unnatural craving for it to be spilled all the more , but instead to feel the dripping warmness clinging to her fingertips.
Can you feel it crush you
Does it seem to bring the worst in you out
If there's no running away from
These thing holding you down
Do they complicate you
Cause they make you feel like this
Of all The colors you've shined
This is surely not your best
But you should know these colors that your shining out
Surely aren't the best colors you've shined

~The Blood Summoning From Far Away~
Walking on a downward slope towards nowhere , the remaining occupants traveling within the group led by that of a hanyou, Inuyasha , presently unwillingly allowing the break from the task they were given when their miko vanished seemingly so long ago. It was at least until that of the hanyou, the kit , and the two tail caught onto what may be some distorted scent of the one they have been in search of for a time. Strangely enough along with her alluring scent , also reined true of a demonic presence claiming stake inside her. Upon discovering this the group , gathered everything quickly and hightailed it towards the scent billowing out for anyone to find, as well as carrying the even stronger reek of massive blood amounts entangling itself into it wake.
