Last Time:
He just stood there looking at me. When he finally spoke, his words were not the one I expected them to be.
"As you seem to have read my emotions, you have earned my respect… Kagome"
This Time:
Kagome's POV
When I woke up the next morning, it was strange. But not in that sense, in the sense that I had a foreboding feeling like something was going to happen, something bad. I wasn't sure what was going to happen but I just hoped that I was wrong, but my feelings are never wrong, which scares me.
I got up and unzipped the tent flap, got out and closed the flap back up to prevent bug from getting in. Outside had the look of after it drizzled or rained; nice, cool, and damp. I loved it, my type of weather. Just absolutely perfect.
I look up and see Sesshoumaru sitting there in his tree where I left him. Speaking of leaving something… I left my journal at home, in my time. I knew I was forgetting something. I take that journal with me everywhere; it was the last gift my dad ever gave to me before he died. I try to write it every night but it was hard doing that in the feudal era; never knowing when you'd have to run or go into battle.
"Sesshoumaru?" I called up to him to get his attention.
"Yes? What is it Kagome?"
"I need to go home for a little bit to get a few things that I forgot." He looks directly at me, seemingly to remember that I lived in the future.
"May I see this home of yours in the future?" he asked with want in his voice.
"Yes you may if the well will allow you to pass through." He jumps down from his perch in the tree.
"Well, we must hurry if you want to get home before dark." With that said, I set out to clean up the makeshift camp, which took all of about 20mins. We then head back the way we came, out of the woods, and then towards the well near the border of the Western lands; Sesshoumaru's territory. We had walked a ways into the forest, when I had a thought.
'Why are we walking when we could fly?!' I thought, suddenly stopping and smacking myself on the forehead for being so stupid.
'Fly? I didn't know you could fly.' Tenseiga thought in my head.
'Well, technically, I myself can't, but I can make an object from my Miko powers that I can stand on so that I may be able to fly.' I thought to Tenseiga.
'How does that work?'
'Well, it's like making a flying barrier, but only flat, like a board.' I thought back, basically explaining a hover board. I looked towards the ground where I started to form my transportation. I noticed Sesshoumaru out of the corner of my eye, watching me very carefully and what I was doing. I focused back to what I was doing.
First I formed it into a small barrier; I can never seem to from what I want without forming a barrier first; then I started to compress it in on itself, making it flat, until there hovered a pink semi-see through board the length somewhere between a snowboard and a skate board.
I went up and stood on the board, having straps come up and wrap around my feet, to secure me to the board. I looked over at Sesshoumaru to see him staring at me quizzically.
"Well, are you just gonna stand there and be left behind or are you coming along?!" I shouted down as I willed the board to get higher and higher. That seemed to knock him out of his staring as he himself started to levitate up to me.
"Hurry up! Or you'll be left behind!" I shouted as I speed North-East. I looked back and saw Sesshoumaru quickly gaining on me. I looked back ahead of me, crouched down, and sped up. It didn't take long for Sesshoumaru to catch up. I looked to my right and saw him looking straight ahead. I looked forward again, speeding up to go as fast as I could; which was, last time I tested it, was bout 130mi/hr, which was considerably fast if you ask me.
While flying, I got to thinking. 'What do I do when I get there? I can't just leave Sesshoumaru behind; he'll want to see my time. What if I run into my friends while there? They'll probably want to come too. Well, I know for sure that either way I'll be leaving with Shippo, I miss him too much to leave him behind.'
At that moment, something flickered across my eyes, but it wasn't physically there, it was more in my mind. It came across my vision again, this time staying longer and bringing a headache with it.
I watched as a man- no demon- stand above what looked like Sesshoumaru's unmoving body; sword drawn to his throat. As I was watching this, they kept getting closer as if my vision was zooming in or I was getting closer. Watching as the man pulled the blade back; he looked up at me briefly, a smirk on his face; but that small look was enough for me to see his identity. Turning his attention back to Sesshoumaru's unmoving body, he drove the sword down into Sesshoumaru's throat. I couldn't help the scream that tore from my throat.
"NO!" I screamed as I was brought back to reality to find myself falling. Hearing Sesshoumaru yelling my name was enough to kick me back into action. As fast as I could, I re-formed my board, shooting back skyward, with only half a foot from the ground.
I flew slowly back up to Sesshoumaru's awaiting form. When I reached him I found concern clearly in his eyes. I've noticed that ever since I earned his respect, he's been more expressive with me.
"Are you alright? What happened?" he asked, inching towards me.
I wrapped my arms around me, "I'm fine. I- I don't know exactly what happened."
"Will you tell me about it? You can trust me." When he said that last part, I looked up into his eyes, which were like hot Carmel melting in a molten sun, looking for any kind of deceit. When I found none, I looked down and slowly nodded.
"But not here. I don't feel it safe to talk here. When we get to my home, I'll tell you." I said looking around, a feeling of unease and of being watched. He simply nodded and turned to lead us to the well, at a slower pace.
~~~Time Skip~~~
We had been flying for a few hours now and the sun was starting to set over the western horizon. I looked down to the ground passing us by. I looked forward and saw flickering lights starting to appear. The village, Edo. Looks like the villagers were preparing for the oncoming darkness.
"Sesshoumaru, we're approaching the village. I think it better if we land now and continue on foot from here."
"Hn," was the only reply I got with a sharp nod of his head to go with it. I watched him descend and quickly followed his lead.
We landed in the woods around the Bone Eaters Well. I stood there a moment, taking the familiar smells and sounds when I felt the tugging at my soul.
"Kikyo…" I said with distaste. I turned and saw her striding towards us, her soul collectors hovering around her. Either InuYasha didn't warn her or she was just plain idiotic; I'm thinking the latter of the options.
"You really are dumb aren't you?" I said as I crossed my arms, a scowl on my face.
"I was about to say the same to you; you should've never returned." Kikyo said with her clay face emotionless.
"Who are you calling wench, clay face?" I taunted; a smug look on my face.
"Whore."
"Takes one to know one!" I replied in a sing-song voice.
"Slut." Kikyo scowled.
"You should look in a mirror before you say that, Kinkyho." It was all I could do to keep from laughing. From the corner of my eye, I could see the amusement in Sesshoumaru's eyes but his face remained impassive.
"I should've killed you when I had the chance, you bitch." Kikyo said with malice in her voice.
"Wouldn't you be the bitch? Aren't you mated to InuYasha? Or did he tire too quickly of your dry, clay cunt?" I said with laughter clearly in my voice. I watched as she drew her arrow and pulled her bow taunt.
"You will die today." She said; her voice angry. I just calmly and slowly drew my Wakizashi from its sheath. I knew that if anyone was going to die today, it would be her; and I'm not just saying that because I think I'm better than her or anything, but because I had foreseen her death.
"No Kikyo; today is your last day. I hope you said goodbye to InuYasha." At that moment, she decided to let loose her arrow. I watched as an impure light surrounded it and come closer. Once the arrow was close enough I brought up my sword and sliced it in two. Firing one arrow at me just wasn't enough, so she just kept firing. And with every step I took towards her, I would slice an arrow in two, watching the anger on her face turn to rage. That rage fueled her arrows, making them stronger.
She fired her last arrow at me, and by this time, I was too close to cut the arrow. I leaned my head to the side and watch as the arrow whizzed passed my head, only centimeters from clipping my ear, and embedded itself in the tree a few feet behind me; the dark energy eating away at tree like acid. I turned my head back to her to see her face smug. I watched as I saw her reach back for another arrow, only to find her quiver empty. A look of shock and fear crossed over her face as I tore the bow from her hands and threw it aside. She watched as he bow collided with a tree and looked back at me in time for me shove my sword into chest. Kikyo leaned forward slightly, her hands grasping the sword where I stabbed her as a look of shock and pain crossed her face.
I leaned forward whispered into to her ear, "Welcome to hell." And with that said, I yanked my sword out of her chest and backed away as she fell to the ground. Once she hit she turned into bones and graveyard soil inside her priestess garb. Watching as the souls of the dead left her; shooting towards the sky. All but one, my soul. My soul hovered a few feet away from my face, tainted from Kikyo. I stepped forward and reached my hand out to my soul. When my fingers just barely touched the outside of my soul, it seemed to shiver. When I pulled my hand away, it started to pulsate, becoming more pure with every pulse.
My soul pulsed and got brighter with every pulse until it was blinding, then suddenly it flew towards me, slamming into my chest and knocking me back onto my back. I must have blacked out for a moment because the next thing I know I'm propped up against the well, Sesshoumaru tending the fire, his face blank again.
"What happened? What did I miss?" I asked, sitting up straighter. Sesshoumaru looked over at me, his face still blank. "You've been out for about an hour, after your soul merged with you once more." He said, standing and looking around. "We will rest for the night before heading to your home." He said. Sesshoumaru seemed back to his normal monotonous self but I didn't mind, I can read him any way he acts.
I just simply nod and shift so I'm lying next to the well, looking up at the beautiful stars. It's a while before I manage to close my eyes again but I finally do and I'm bombarded with another dream.
I'm evil I know but I'll just leave this here. *places story and runs* Give me ideas!
