Chapter 12 (Carly Arrives)
Kohaku took Angie with him and ran as far and as quickly as he could, he looked around to see if Naraku's poison insects were following him. They were like little reporters to Naraku, whatever they saw, he saw. Naraku would surely know that Kagura died, that much was evident. "Okay, they're nowhere nearby." Kohaku ran into a cave and sat down with Angie, he let out a sigh and looked over at her. "It's a shame that you don't remember her, but like me, you'll probably be too burdened and fearful to go to her. With that sacred jewel shard that is in your neck, you may die."
Angie had not spoken a word or even made any attempts to move or run away from Kohaku during the time they were running. It was truly an odd thing, but there wasn't much they could do about it at the moment. Kohaku slowly stood up and walked toward the entrance of the cave; he surveyed the landscape and saw the Priestess Kikyo. The woman was walking toward the cave; she spotted Kohaku and then saw Angie who was balled up in a corner.
"You are the one known as Kohaku, are you not? You are the one whose life is controlled by Naraku, but your sister does not wish for your death." Kohaku knew that Kikyo was on a hunt for the jewel shards as well, that meant he knew full well that she would kill a puppet of Naraku for a jewel shard if it came down to it. He glanced over at Angie and grit his teeth; she was not in a good position right now.
"What will you do, Lady Kikyo?" Kikyo looked at Kohaku and crossed her arms, she really was more concerned with the jewel than the life of one person.
"I will purify your jewel shard, but then I will remove it…however I will remove it safely and without killing you. It is the work that only a priestess can do." Kohaku nodded in understanding, but at the time he would much rather Kikyo save Angie over him. "Of course, that girl is a puppet of Naraku as well…unless she remembers, I will remove hers."
Kohaku understood what that meant; Angie would die for Kikyo to remove her jewel shard. If Angie didn't remember, or if she did remember and wasn't anybody important, Kikyo would just remove the jewel shard from her neck and kill her. "Let us travel with you, Lady Kikyo. Let us travel with you until she remembers who she is…" Kikyo looked at Kohaku and then turned around, her silent response told him that she was willing for him to travel with her.
"Bring the girl with you…"
-NEW SCENE-
Carly was a mess, it had been over a week and she didn't know where her friends were. They had been missing for a whole week, now she was in Japan, searching for the Higurashi Shrine, the place found in one of Sam's notes. She found an old man walking the streets, she stopped him and he looked at her kindly. "Is there something I may help you with?" The man asked.
"Yes sir, I'm looking for Kagome Higurashi, she lives in the Higurashi Shrine," Carly responded while frowning. Her body was shaking, she was afraid that Sam may have gotten into danger by visiting a person she never met personally. "Kagome was apparently my friend's Penpal, and two of my friends visited her and have been missing for more than a week, I need to see this person."
"Kagome is my granddaughter, she is a great person. However, she is very ill I'm afraid, pancreatic jumps at every three minutes!" Carly raised her eyebrow, she had never heard of that in her life. Of course, this was just routine for the grandfather, making up illnesses.
"You don't understand! Sam Puckett and Freddie Benson, they came here over a week ago and they haven't returned! I need to know where they are, and I want you to tell me, or at least this Kagome person…oh my god, please don't tell me you're Kagome!" Carly's eyes were wide, fearing that the internet had grasped her friend. Fears were running wild through her head, rape, torture, murder, and various other things. "If you hurt Sam and Freddie, I swear-"
"Hold on there!" The man held up his hand and gestured for her to follow. "Come with me, I'll explain to you on the way." Carly reluctantly followed the old man toward where the Higurashi Shrine was, he would have to lead her to the well.
"Okay, so you better start explaining before I start going psycho on you!" The old man sighed and crossed his arms, he understood full well the fears that she had.
"My granddaughter has actually been in the feudal era for over a week, I believe your friends have as well." Carly raised her eyebrow in disbelief, that made absolutely no sense to her. "I believe one of your friends had the wind tunnel, like his ancestor, Miroku. Kagome has been fighting a demon named Naraku, and there is talk of a priestess named Kikyo."
"Kikyo…Kikyo is the name of my ancestor, now I know you're messed up." The grandfather sighed and led her to the well, she looked in and raised her eyebrow. What she could not deny was the feeling of something eerie in there, as though something were calling her.
"You are the descendant of Kikyo then? She was the original holder of the Shikon No Tama, otherwise known as the sacred jewel shard. She was a priestess who lived hundreds of years ago and died at the hands of the fowl demon Naraku. However she was revived and walks the ground as a clay body."
"What?" Carly was starting to freak, this old man was scaring the crap out of her. She looked into the well and saw what looked like sky at the very bottom, that was confusing, there should have been no sky whatsoever.
"I'm sure you will find your friends." The old man placed his hand on Carly's back and pushed her into the well, she screamed and closed her eyes, waiting to hit the ground. She never did hit the ground, she opened her eyes and found herself at the bottom of the well, how she got there without a loud crash, she never knew. Her eyes were wide and fearful, she looked around quickly, trying to find out if there were any decaying bodies of her friends, praying that there were none.
Carly looked up and tried to grab the top of the well, it was difficult since the well was so high up. Only the tips of her fingers could reach the top of it, she was in desperate need of help. "Somebody, help me! Help me, please!" Carly was trying her best not to cry, but she seriously feared for her life, it would be hard not to cry. She was expecting that man to come back and kill her, but what she saw of the man was that he was not evil. That much confused the hell out of her.
"What is all that noise?" A woman's voice asked. Carly smiled with hope as Kaede's head appeared over the well, looking very surprised.
"Please, you have to help me! There was this old man, he tried to tell me that my friends were in some other world and that his granddaughter, Kagome was as well. Well I don't think there really was a Kagome, I think it was just a creepy old man, and the man pushed me in here!" Kaede raised her eyebrow and grasped Carly's wrist, another hand came and helped to pull Carly out.
"Kagome is as real as the come, she comes through this world and her own time to help Inuyasha slay the demon, Naraku…" Carly groaned once more, thinking that this woman was another lunatic. "Recently she had two other people with her, but who are you and how did you get through here?"
"I don't know exactly, maybe it's because I'm descended from some woman named Kikyo…" Kaede's eyes grew wide as Carly stepped on the fresh ground. Carly gasped and looked around, everything around her was different. "Where the hell am I?" Kaede looked back at the person who helped her, that was Kohaku. She had been visiting with Kikyo, Kohaku and Angie before hearing Carly screaming.
"You're in the Feudal Era, and behind me is your ancestor, Kikyo." Carly raised her eyebrow and looked over, it was then she noticed the slender looking woman standing next to a young girl.
"Angie!" Carly ran over toward Angie but Kohaku quickly stepped in the way and Kikyo held her arm out, Carly stopped running and looked up with confusion.
"She is Naraku's puppet, she will die," Kikyo said quietly.
"What! No! You can't kill her, she's Sam's sister…speaking of Sam, where the hell is my best friend! What did you freaks do to Sam and Freddie and who the hell is this Kagome person?!"
"They are fine," Kohaku said in a quiet voice. "Freddie Benson has dragged Kagura into his wind tunnel, however…" Kohaku walked over to Angie and turned her around, it was then that Carly saw a jewel shard in her neck. "Naraku and Jonah have embedded this into her neck, unless it is purified by a priestess, then she is controlled forever. She has no memory of her elder sister, just like I had no memory of mine. Kikyo says she may purify the shard and take it out safely, since that's the only way…if it is removed from her neck, she will die."
"I aim only for the jewel shards," Kikyo said quietly. "I will do Kohaku, but I make no promises for Angie."
"Wait…no!" Carly exclaimed as she fell to her knees. "I don't know what to believe, but you can't just let Angie die! She means the world to Sam, if you let her die, Sam will be devastated!"
"That is not my concern." Carly clenched her fists and gripped the grass, her face tightened and she looked at Kikyo with pure anger in her eyes.
"Then how the hell are you my ancestor!" Kikyo looked taken aback by the statement, Carly slowly rose and slapped Kikyo across the face, Kikyo did not seem to be fazed. "You can't be, you have no heart! This girl has a life, this girl has a family that she loves and they love her! How the hell can you just say it is of no concern to you? How can you say that she's unimportant? Who the hell gave you the right to just take something out that could kill her and say that you didn't care! Who the hell do you think you are?"
"I am the priestess, Kikyo…and if you are my descendant, then surely you understand just as well as I do, the importance of that sacred jewel shard. There are demons out there all over the place, they are hunting these things and the only way to purify the jewel and remove it is to put all the shards together. I need that shard, and I can probably purify it, but I can't say that I'm willing to take it out safely and use up my power for two people rather than one."
"So you're going to save this boy's life and you're going to let Angie die."
"The boy has an older sister who loves and cherishes him, she would be nothing without him."
"What the hell do you think is going on with Angie! Her older sister is the same damn way, she loves Angie to death, if something happened to her, Sam would die! Why give you the right to decide who is happy and who is not, why are you so afraid to use your power for both of them and only use it on one!"
"My power is not that great anymore."
"Screw you then! If it were me, I would use my power to save both of them and die afterwards rather than use it to save one and continue living! From what I heard, there's apparently others going after Naraku, you don't have to be the one to kill him!" Kikyo raised her eyebrow and stared at Carly.
"If you wish to save the young girl, then you may come with us and I will teach you the things that a priestess must know. For you are my descendant, I will teach you and you will be the one to save this girl's life and reunite her with her sister." Kikyo turned and Angie continued to stare at Carly, when Carly looked at Angie, it appeared there was something in the young girl's eyes. It was very faint, but it looked like maybe the girl was starting to remember something.
"Fine…if it will help Angie, but I still don't know what's going on here. I mean, priestess….demons…it all sounds fantasy to me." Kikyo continued to walk, Kohaku and Angie turned and walked with her, Carly sighed and followed them.
I hope you enjoyed that chapter, and yes, I needed to get Carly in. Now I will work on the next chapter, it should be up soon!
