AN: Okie dokie! First off….I knew that either Sat. or Sun. Japanese. Ppl
had school, but, err, heh, I don't have such a great memory….. As for me
saying "baba" for Kaede, that's just the first thing that popped into my
head about Kaede ( I got the anime dvd thingy and Inuyasha's voice saying
Kaede-baba just got stuck, I guess…). Alright! Always trying to answer
questions….gad, why do I have to write confusing fics???? **shakes head*
anyway.. I err…just noticed that the italic thingy on Word does not show up
on FF.net, soooo, a lot of my story sounds kinda weird….whatever…..Err….
an' I forgot to put this on all the other stinkin' fics: Me no own
Inuyasha…..but, hey, I like presents! *gets whacked on the head by Bob, my
penguin * Err, yea, IY is the property of the great and wondrous Rumiko
Takahashi. Yay for her…
ANWYWAY!!!! I'll just start typing, ok? Ok.
"Kagome!!!!" Kagome stared. There he was. It wasn't a dream…
"INUYASHA!" She started running towards him. But then she stopped, for behind the two stood Kaede.
"Inuyasha, we have to stop her!" Kagome said, pointing her finger at Kaede.
"Who? Kaede-baba? What could she do?" he scoffed "Kagome, have you lost your head? We need to give her the jewel, only then will peace come back…"
This doesn't sound like Inuyasha, Kagome thought. Then she gasped. A dark thread was wrapped around Inuyasha's neck and was connected to a ball of thread in Kaede's hand. She then looked into his eyes. They were blank! Kaede, she thought, what are you doing? Why are you controlling Inuyasha?
"No time for questions!" Kagome said, surprising herself when she accidentally said it aloud. She ran towards Kaede, picking up an arrow as she did. I have to kill this, this thing, she thought, I just want things to be normal again!
"Inuyasha, stop her! She's crazy!" Kaede commanded. Inuyasha leapt forward. He started slashing wildly at Kagome.
"AYIEEE!" Kagome yelped, trying desperately not to be sliced into ribbons by Inuyasha's claws.
Then Kaede was so close. Kagome pulled her arm back, ready to strike. She saw Kaede's face, suddenly so close, and saw her terrified eyes. But then, the old woman's eyes grew absurdly happy, and she smiled wickedly.
A sharp pain shot through Kagome's back. Kagome looked back and found herself looking into the soulless eyes of Inuyasha. Kagome grimaced and fell onto the ground.
"Kill her, Inuyasha. Kill her."
Kagome looked at the hanyou, horrified at what he was about to do. And then she saw a flash of something flicker through his eyes. His teeth clenched and his eyes narrowed, as if he was in pain.
"He's…. Fighting Kaede…" Kagome realized. He, a mere hanyou, was defying a miko! And a demonic one, at that. She was definitely a full powered demon.
And then, Kagome felt her eyes begin to close.
"So tired…" And then a bright light filled her vision. A bright light of a bright white room.
"NO!" Kagome's eyes flashed open. She was still there, in the old era…And now she was begging to realize what was happening…
When she had found the scar a while back, she knew she had gotten the cut from Inuyasha's time, but there was a blur in her mind at how. In that white room, there had been a spool of black thread lying in the corning of the room. When she got home, the spider webs in her room were strangely darker than what she had remembered them to be. They were black. As black as the thread. And the handwrighting, as if the writer had an old hand unused to writing, or too weak.
Kaede had been everywhere, with the black threads controlling everything. Kagome life, every moment of it. But why?
"Why…?"
"Why? Because the Shikon No Tama has ruined the life of my host, Kaede." It smiled, seeing the face of Kagome," Yes, she has been a very helpful host, this mortal. Yet, she grows old, ne? Humans are such a bore…"
"How…" Kagome asked, her voice labored, it getting harder and harder to breathe. Inuyasha stood feet away, clutching his head as if he was in pain. The dark thread was getting tighter and tighter, trying to get control of the hanyou.
"I have to make her talk longer," Kagome thought, her hand slowly and painfully inching towards the broken arrow at her side. "I have to stop her!"
"You want to know? Heh heh heh. I shall tell you. Think of it as a last bedtime story before you go to your final sleep." The former Kaede smiled," It all started with that wretched Inuyasha. He stole the heart of Kikyo, thus her powers became less and less out of love. Then came Onigumo. Ahh, the demons felt his dark thoughts. But there was another full of hate. The little Kaede, only seven, watched as the miko Kikyo spent all of her time either with the demon of which she should of killed, or the thief that wanted to have her, to kill her. No longer did she seem to worry about her little sister who was visited every night by shadow demons, and crow demons that watched her followed her by the day.
"And then the demons came for Onigumo. Unknown to everyone but the thief and the victim, Kaede, that she too was in the cave when the demons come. They saw her small body, assuring a longing host life, and the evil in her body was like that of Onigumo. And I," It cackled," I Akumaenshi, I was the largest of them all, and I alone took this body. And I was the exact demon that took over the body of the maker of the Shikon No Tama, the grandmother of Sango. Thus, it explains the notes. That Kaede, she was stronger than I thought. She passed the notes throughout your time, to try to warn you. And did I try to destroy them! But they were well concealed. "
"Naraku is also part of my story. My brother, he is, the clever bastard. He got Onigumo, I Kaede. And together we made a plan to get the Tama covered with hate, thus making its power unlimited. We would share it together, and together would rule the world. "
"Thus, I instructed my younger brother Naraku to strike hate into the minds of the two lovers that made hate develop in Kaede."
"You..!" Inuyasha hissed, his anger destroying the last thread controlling him" You were behind Kikyo death!?! You!" he lunged towards her, unsheathing the Tetsugia as he ran.
"I don't think so, Inuyasha!" Kaede laughed, and her from seemed to rip apart. No longer stood a withered old woman, but a huge dragon.
"DEMON BEGONE!" Inuyasha slashed at the dragon's throat. It hit its target, but the dragon didn't wince.
"It…parried the Tetsugia?" Kagome gasped, slowly lifting her bloodied body of the ground.
"Y-you….have…to….excorsize…the...demon…Kag-gome….."
"K-Kaede-sama!" Kagome ran as fast as she could to the body of the former demon.
"Take….this….bow…"She pulled a bow out of her pack "You…must…stop…it….and…avenge….onee-san…" Kaede's eyes closed, and Kagome knew that she was dead.
And then the strength of Kikyo coursed through her veins and a voice took over her "I will avenge you, Kaede-sama… And I shall avenge the hate that destroyed Kikyo!"
ANWYWAY!!!! I'll just start typing, ok? Ok.
"Kagome!!!!" Kagome stared. There he was. It wasn't a dream…
"INUYASHA!" She started running towards him. But then she stopped, for behind the two stood Kaede.
"Inuyasha, we have to stop her!" Kagome said, pointing her finger at Kaede.
