Chapter 10-Two Faced
"Ehh" groaned Kagome as she slowly opened her tired cobalt eyes. "Ahh" she gasped sitting suddenly up wide eyed.
All around her was the purple-black darkness of clouds of miasma. She lay on the ground that wasn't there and was alone in a place she knew did not have a happy ending.
"Hahaha" an evil laugh split through the darkness and echoed off the suffocating clouds of poison, but it wasn't Naraku's laugh. Kagome knew this laughter but she could not place it for the life of her; it came from a young woman that Kagome knew for sure.
"Hello?" called out Kagome looking around but found nothing.
"Hahaha" and the laughter rang out again chilling her to the bone.
Kagome leapt her feet a snarl on her face. "Who's out there!?"
All was silent, lonely and eerily dark, then a warm sinister breath blew across Kagome's neck and she grew rigid in shock and fear of the unknown.
A chuckle rang out in her ear. "Only you out here" whispered a growly yet feminine voice behind Kagome".
Kagome spun away and saw what…who had spoken. "No" she whispered Kagome as she backed up on weak legs from the figure before her.
The figure laughed again an evil grin on her face as she stepped from the shadows. "Oh yes Kagome" and she laughed again. Kagome knew that laughter now. She knew it in pain, she knew it in joy, she knew it in grief…she knew it in love…this laughter…was her own.
There standing in a thigh length black kimono with crimson swirls running through it and white tap wrapped around her feet and legs up to her knees leaving her toes bear to the ground and the same was with the arms even though covered by the kimono sleeves. On her head matching her black and silver streaked hair were black and silver dog ears and a tail came from beneath the ebony kimono that like the hair and ears were black and silver that swayed back and forth calmly but still with a predatory sway to its movements. Her eyes were cat-like with slightly dark purple eyes with flicks of indigo and silver in them. Her dark crimson eye shadow matched the jagged triplet of lines cascading down her cheek bones and the crescent moon that lay on its side with the points up to the sky. Here standing before Kagome with a killing gleam in her cat-like eyes was the youkai side of Kagome.
"NO!!!" screamed out Kagome and turned and ran with Inuyasha's haori flying behind her.
Kagome's youkai self chuckled and it echoed off the clouds of poisonous vapor and in her head. "You can't run or hide from me Kagome, for I am you once the curse takes true hold of you!"
"No!! I don't want become a youkai!!" she screamed as she still ran.
"You have no say in the matter" barked back the youkai and appeared in front of Kagome who came to a sliding stop, two feet from the figure that was her and yet not her. "As long as you bare his mark you can not escape him or me!!"
"Then I'll fight you!"
The evil youkai Kagome chuckled throwing her head back her ebony and silver hair swaying with sinister grace. "How?"
Kagome stuttered but she glared holding strong. "I don't know, but that won't stop me from trying!!!"
The youkai dramatically stopped laughing and snarled. "I am that very mark you bare, you fight me you fight the mark, you fight the mark you fight Naraku and Kaguya combined!!!"
Kagome gave her own laugh and was surprised that it held a evil sarcasm to it and the youkai before her looked confused. "Do you think I care!? For being my youkai side you don't know me very well."
"Silence human! You will become servant to our master!!"
"I won't become anyone's servant!! I'D RATHER DIE!!!!"
The youkai Kagome snickered evilly flashing her ebony colored claws before her face. "We will not kill you" she whispered deathly soft. "We will break you."
Kagome snarled and charged the youkai with her own claws. "I will not break! I will not bend! I will stay true to my heart!! LIKE HOW INUYASHA ALWAYS ENCOURAGES ME TO BE!!!!" roared Kagome in her fury and sliced her claws through the youkai's chest from right shoulder to left hip in a spray of blood.
The youkai only laughed. "I expected you to bring up that half-breed, but even with him in your heart, you can't kill me, not here, not ever." Then the youkai leapt at Kagome and stopped two inches from her face. "I am you, as you are me; we are one with two different faces weather you like it or not." And with slightest touch from the youkai, Kagome felt like her back was on fire.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Kagome screamed out in pain as the youkai fell into her making her back pulse loudly only causing more pain. It seemed to take an eternity for Kagome's youkai self to fall into herself, but once she did Kagome collapsed to the ground exhausted.
Kagome took giant gulps of air and soon the pain slowly subsided and she groaned as she raised herself to kneel on her knees. Looking up into the purple-black clouds of miasma, Kagome let her tears of loneliness finally fully fall in sob that racked her body. "I feel that beast inside waiting for any opportunity to come out" thought Kagome as she tears still fell.
"Inuyasha" she whispered in a pleading voice of a whisper as she threw her face into her hands. "Inuyasha, what should I do?"
And Kagome fell over to exhausted to even sob but her tears still fell endlessly and there on half of her face were the markings of the youkai trapped deep within.
And on the soft wind that wasn't there she heard it before the darkness coming to her consumed her. Inuyasha's voice came flowing softly to her like on the breeze that swirled in his forest with warm and comfort and it protecting embrace saying her name softly in grief, hope, affection, and determination.
"Kagome."
And Kagome fell into unconscious oblivion with a sweet innocent smile on her face.
