Souls Collide
~ Chapter Eight~
Separation
As Told By Kagome Taijaya
Age 10
By Inuyashas Youkai
I don't what inspired me to write within the pages of this book , but while reading over what was left behind by my parents after that of a ambush separated us , and of course being scared I had ran to hide. I had a feeling that maybe I should contribute my part within because as I am so told since the days I was young that I am the reincarnation of the late Kagome Higarashi, and supposedly my dear friend Inuyasha's intended life mate -whatever that is. Anyways , after that so called embarrassing run in with my womanly path thingy that I was told about , things had began to change not only with what was going on around us because thereafter soon started a time of war, and there wasn't much time or will to enjoy life as it was anymore. At least in the way to me it seemed.
I was alone , a hanyou with the slight abilities of what is known of as a miko , or priestess . I had no one after the ambush had broken out separating myself from my parents Miroku , and Sango , as well as with them I couldn't find Inuyasha neither , since with them that is how he I think knew how to find me . I stayed hidden mostly , with the exception of finding food here and there , but for the most part stayed to myself with only my thoughts , as well as this book to keep me company . I think now as I traveled within the trees , as I was taught not only from the missing friends Kouta , Amaya , and Tasou , but my friend Inuyasha as well , but I had not seen them since the ambush , and Inuyasha since that day , seemingly so long ago , now, that I has strayed far from the nearby location of where I once was .
During my wanderings , I had come about rumors about things about the war in general , and that for the most part didn't pay much attention to , until that is that words spoken about a Inu demon describing one so much like Inuyasha , but as I would come to find out that the person they were speaking off wasn't the one I thought and someone else entirely , by the same relation. Once I traveled West seeking anything that may come as answers to where that I may find someone that I know , but only found a much colder form within that of a lord, Inuyasha's brother named Sesshomeru. Sesshomeru , at the time couldn't stand me , as much as he could throw me, and by the looks of it , well... I am quite sure that he could do that well on his own without much trouble , but it was his ward Rin that opposed such cruelty , and suggested taking me in ..
So in telling you this , I guess my life had changed alot , a rapid turnabout into now residing with a lord , and his ward , supposedly relations of Inuyasha , coming from my parents where it felt more free , to this stricter more reformed way of life , but anything had to be a improvement from spending so long alone without much contact from anyone or anything . The days began early in the morning , well before Dawn , and carried through until dusk learning lessons with Rin like mathematics, history , speech , and language then went our separate directions to more specialized courses like for me it was the studies of a priestess as well as that of the understandings of a miko's power.
Although , even if my days were filled to the brim ,with tasks and things that served well to busy her body , as well as her mind , but as time passed , I could never forgot the ones missed or the place I came from . I often wandered as to how my family and friends that were no longer around me were doing , and where they were at that time. I mean I could still feel them somehow , especially Inuyasha , although seemingly far away , they were still among the living I knew, maybe it had something to do with the promise that was made so long ago, making Inuyasha mine ,and myself his, though I don't know how or why with the exception of the one I was named after , as well as the one I supposedly was before this life.
Today I felt nervous for some reason , and I don't know why it is . A visitor from the Eastern Territories was planning to make their presence to Sesshomeru in announcing the second following in the land's ruling – whatever that's supposed to mean ! I mean what in the world do people need someone to control every movement , anyways , I understand rules and consequences if they don't abide by them , but when it goes way past it as it has I wonder what's the point in searching for the way of life if you have to question that of a higher power first. The meeting had everyone in the castle squirming around like rats to be ready for tonite's dinner, and charade , one where everyone seemed to had to portray one that was fake to the being one was, it was disgusting !
Although as the presence came to be announced for some reason made my skin want to crawl, and some places in my body hurt where there was nothing to explain as to why it would upon my flawless skin. It was odd , and at the time I felt I wanted to chance into something that stopped the tingling feeling that in my fancy new dress that I was being undressed by one 's reddened hungry eyes. Outside the party that night was indeed fun once Rin , and myself was able to get out of the creepy newcomer's range of sight , because when I saw his eyes something inside me changed , as I began to remember things that I shouldn't without ever having the experiences to back them up , but one thing was for certain that man should be stayed far enough away to avoid contact for what his eyes promised was certain death , pain. Though I don't know why I would know that , the man did seem friendly , and he was polite in nature , but I could sense a certain kind of darkness within him , one that wasn't being allowed to show under the untrained eye.
It became a sort of a game between Rin , and I , without knowing for a fact indeed how dangerous the man truely was , being called , away from the bad man , a game that was kind of like a hide , and seek game to prevent those red eyes to find us , but somehow they always would sway in the direction we went every time. At the time we didn't see anything wrong with it , as we were the wards protected by the lord Sesshomeru himself , but as the night grew on certain thought were put inside my head one's that weren't my own trying to tell me otherwise , but not as to why. It then became time , as it was getting late for all the children that someone looking like a deformed , twisted looking toad under the lord's direct orders to see myself , and Rin to bed , that the lord would be up once we were tucked in .
It was when Sesshomeru had that , he himself in little words informed us that we were to stay away from the man that tonight was announced as a guest, because he was very dangerous , and that we should use all caution while he was near . With that confirmation , coming from a man seemingly could take on the world without care , and very little strength to say that , therefore caused my fears to expand themselves tenfold..
I hoped this gave something to whoever is reading this book some light in my perceptive of things , even though in some places it seemed as routine , and mundane , but because I felt after reading the urge to contribute .. Well I hope this was something that could be hopeful, and isn't seen as a intrusion to the one thing of the person that I once supposedly was .Anyways Sayonara for now , and I hope next time I write I have more happy , and interesting things to say .
Mrs Higarashi , surprised that one of the chapters claimed her daughter's reincarnations writings inside , but she also gained some knowledge of how her life had been , and now it seemed that even though protected that things may certainly go either way at this point . It made her scared for the one who now carried the soul of her dearly departed Kagome , and hoped that Inuyasha , as well as the others within her family in the past would protect her like they had her daughter Kagome prior.
