Guest:I just realized this is a review for chapter 1. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I've totally forgotten the disaster that chapter 1 is, I''m aware I misgendered Sota like twice If I remember correctly. I've been meaning to fix for a while but always forget, so thank you guest:)
UmiNight Angel Neko: I know, don't worry he'll be fine. for now..
Queen Mo-Freakin: Thank you so much! I'm still insecure about my writing so thank you for this :) it means a lot
agimaru: first of all, thank you for Reading, each review means a lot to me :D. Concerning your review I will address every "question" individually. I really hope I don't come out as rude, because I can guarantee you that's not my intention at all. Sorry if I offend you in any way, I'm just trying to answer your questions, and hopefully clear out any misunderstanding or doubt that other readers might have.
-Her duty: protect the jewel, going to the feudal era to find help to destroy it and prevent everything, cause I doubt she'll rip her torso out to get it. Also, she felts like she has a duty to the original Kagome to protect her love ones, I believe she mentioned it in chapter 1. "I would dare, I don't want to bring more misfortune to this world because you don't want me to destroy the pearl"
It was true. She was planning on destroying the pearl as soon as she returned from her time. That way there would be no Naraku, Kikyo wouldn't be revived, Shippou's father would still live and Kohaku and Sango would have their family. In her eyes the pearl only brought evil to those who possessed some of its fragments". Actual quote from chapter 5.
-Shippos and sango's family: Yes, without the shikon they 'are alive. The shikon was destroyed because in kagome's and inuyasha's "battle" she didn't make the shikon break on purpose (? It was the result of both inuyasha's and her energy colliding, since he was coming at her with the tessaiga. At the moment, he didn't trust her, so he didn't have any reason to not attack her to get what he wants. In the anime the only thing he wanted was to be a full demon. I'm sure he wouldn't let a random girl interfere in his lifetime goal. It is my fault for not being clearer on that Sorry u.u
-Smash the pearl: it would prevent everything, literally. But without the pearl breaking, there's no plot, neither for the anime the manga and my poor fic :(
-Wish it away: no plot, literally. Inuyasha's can still go down the well, piss off a half demon is not a smart idea. Yeah, it would be great to not have every one after her head, sadly that's how thing are for the moment: / it doesn't mean they wouldn't get better 7u7. *wink wink*
I apologize again if I offend you.
Please felt free to ask any question you have concerning my fic, I know I'm not the best author but I try to write something decent lol.
Thank you very much for reading 3
Her legs were burning as she ran to the inn. The surrounding people became a blur as she forced herself to run faster. The distance to the inn seemed to have doubled up in the time she was out, because she could swear the place wasn't that far from the market.
When the inn finally filled her line of vision, she knew something was wrong. With hesitation, she stepped inside, forgetting to remove her shoes in her hurry, if her mother saw her now, she'll never heard the end of it.
The image that greeted her shook her body to the core. The lovely decoration that adorned the reception earlier was gone, now replaced by a deteriorated and creepy atmosphere. She contemplated the idea of shouting for inuyasha, but her self-preservation decided for her. The idea of screaming her lungs out with a possible threat was plain stupid. Apparently living two lifetimes weren't enough for her to be more courageous and run directly into the darkness that invaded her.
"The lady is gone too" she whispered quietly.
Her legs started to walk on her own as Kagome cursed herself for forgetting her bow in the room.
She could already heard inuyasha's mocking voice in her head.
The hall had also changed. Darkness filled every corner killing any calmness that tried to fill her mind. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept her going. The fear of suddenly being jumped on while vulnerable was horrifying, but the fear of inuyasha and Shippo being in danger was bigger.
The layout of the inn had also changed. There used to be 6 rooms, 3 in each side of the hall, but now, there were more than 20 and there was no way she could know which was their room.
She cursed herself every time she opened a door. "I'll have to glue my bow to my back, this can't happen again"
Kagome opened the shogi door, slowly wincing on the inside at the creaking sound that it made. She stuck her head through a small opening and almost had a heart attack caused by the lady standing in the middle of the room.
"Excuse me, ma'am" she said entering the room. "Are you okay?"
Kagome walked closer to her only to stop abruptly at the ringing laugh that came from the lady. Her shoulders shook vigorously as she laughed louder.
Immediately she knew that the lady wasn't covered her palm with her spiritual energy and prepared to fight.
The lady whirled in her feet to face her. Kagome's mouth opened in surprise at her appearance. The tight knot that tied her hair was now loose, giving her a haunting look, now that the knot wasn't there to prevent her face from wrinkling.
"Miko-sama" she began talking in a fake respectful tone. "You're back earlier than I anticipated "Her head turned to the side allowing Kagome to see the scales covering her face. They were a deep shade of green and gold that complimented the gold irises that were her eyes giving her a reptile vibe to her appearance.
"Where are my friends?" She asked angrily.
The reptile lady just laughed, shrugging off her question. "I've been watching you for quite some time. I must admit I was surprised with the outcome of your battle with the hanyou."
Kagome's eyes narrowed as realization dawned upon her. "You were the one that was watching me when I was bathing" she accused angrily.
The lady smirk confirmed her accusations.
"I didn't sense you" she snarled "why?!"
"I've been using this human body as a second skin" she inched closer revealing her sharp teeth with a disgusting smile.
"Not even the most powerful miko can see through my disguise"
"It doesn't matter now, snake" she hissed. "You'll die now"
She clicked her tongue in annoyance "I believe you'll be different from your friends" she paused to give her a sad look "I even took the time to left a fragment of shikon for you in the mountains"
"So, it was a bait?"
"You're a smart girl, but not enough"
The miko prepared herself from the impact, only to find that it never came. The snake had started to scream in pain as the blue flames engulfed her body.
"Kagome you're safe!" Shippo exclaimed happily from inuyasha's shoulder.
She let out a relieved breath. They were safe.
Inuyasha eyed her carefully to make sure she wasn't injured before he threw Shippo at her, and used tessaiga to try to slice the snake.
Once again, her rumbling laugh filled the room making the thin paper wall to shake violently.
"My scales are impenetrable" she looked disapproving at their attempt. "You have to try harder if you want to kill me"
Inuyasha smiled smugly accepting her challenge. "Kagome" he gave her a side look "the fragments are in our room. Take Shippo with you"
Kagome grimaced slightly. She wanted to stay and help him, but without the pearl inside her and her bow she was outmatched. Hitting Jaken was a thing, fighting a full youkai with her bare fist was another history.
Shippo jumped in her shoulder and pointed ahead of them.
"Our room is at the end "
She nodded and started to run, ignoring the screams of the snake lady.
The closer she got, the fragment presence became stronger. Apparently the surrounding darkness was used to disorient them. It didn't matter now, they were almost there.
Kagome swung the door open, wincing when the door slipped out of it place. She quickly located her backpack in one of the corners along with her bow. She opened her backpack scanning its content with a critical gaze. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding when she spotted the jar containing the 4 fragments of the pearl. She grabbed her things, and decided last moment to hide the fragments inside her bra. She turned to Shippo, ready to leave this madness behind.
"Let's go"
The wall seemed to close in them as Kagome forced her legs to run faster.
"There he is!" Shippo shouted pointing at Inuyasha.
The hanyou seemed to be holding up pretty well, despite the gash that crossed his torso, his breath was ragged and his eyes had acquired a mischievous glint. He swung his sword at her and with a growl he sliced her.
She hissed at him and licked the blood from her wound. Her golden eyes narrowed in anger. She looked extremely offended by inuyasha's actions.
"I was a fool for wanting to keep you for me" she gave a fake sad sigh and smiled at him "I won't make the same mistake!" She maneuvered her body in a zigzag patron truly resembling a snake in that moment. Her scales glinted multiple shades of gold and green as she approached them slowly.
"She doesn't have a fragment of the pearl" kagome said, silently giving him permission for his next course of action.
The snake lady screams echoed in the room as inuyasha finished her off. Blood pooled at her feet staining the already damaged tatami. She cringed when the red liquid touched her feet.
"There's two other fragments in the mountains"
Inuyasha's ears perked up at the information "then what are we waiting for?" He said eagerly as he bent to pick up the discharge bag of groceries she didn't remember throwing in the first place.
She just nodded and started to walk to the main door vaguely aware of her heart trobbing loudly in her chest. That was a close call. Next time she was back at her time she'll have to research some fighting moves, because the one she had right now weren't appropriate for fighting.
As unbelievable as it may sound, her situation was finally setting in. With the events that had happened earlier with Shippo, mixed with the shock of fighting for her life twice in a day in the span of hours, her poor mind was finally giving in to exhaustion. It could be her imagination, but inuyasha was giving her a worry look.
"We are getting closer" she mumbled tiredly. Her eyes felt heavy and her legs were rooted to the grass.
"Kagome are you okay?" Shippo asked her before she fainted.
She woke up hours later, enveloped by the warm comfort of a fire. She sat up slowly as to not overwork herself. She assumed her fainting spell was caused by the overuse of her spiritual energy. Since her reserves were shorter now, she needed to be careful and use it wisely, at least until she could find a way to increase her current energy.
She inspected the area they were in suspiciously. It was too quiet in her opinion. She had been laying down in the grass using her pack as a pillow. Shippo was resting next to her snoring softly, and in the distance she could make out inuyasha's figure resting in a branch.
Even with her lack of spiritual energy she could see the purple light emitting from one of inuyasha's sleeves.
It made sense he had them, after all she was in no position to protect them if needed be.
Her stomach rumbled pulling her out of her musing. She fished a cereal bar from her bag pausing her movements when a red journal catch her attention.
"I've forgotten about you" She muttered caressing the cover. This was the journal she had written when she was 7, it contained all the events that were going to happen when she turned 15. The calligraphy was very neat for a child, each word was written carefully, as if she was afraid to make it permanent. The words were a mixture of english, Spanish and japanese romaji mixed. She was a very precarious child.
"It's time to check some things"
She opened it and started to read it.
pls review ? i want to read your opinion (:
