Maybe two.~.~ Well I'll try... An-e-ways..
On with the story!
Chapter 4
Reawakening Soul
Insane laughter filled the school grounds creating chills that ran down the spine of all the bystanders. Most people took comfort from the people around them and others turned their heads away from the giant buds the horrors of the day flashing through their eyes. Some stood staring at the plant standing tall and determined, they would remember the sacrifice if there was truly to be one. Kagome sat on her knees her hands resting on the ground and tears streaked her tear filled face. Sango and Miroku had made there way over to her and both had their arms wrapped around her. Sango looked to the depressed young women and tears began to leak from her eyes. She shut them trying to prevent the river that wanted to overflow. Her tears still fell like rain out of the dark covering of clouds that were slowly beginning to form overhead.
Of all the things to happen, somehow Miroku had thought Inu to be invincible, ever since he had taken the whippings from that strange tree for the three of them. It was almost as though he had had no doubt in his mind that Inu was going to do that. The fact that Inu was a hanyou wasn't a big surprise to either him or Sango, almost as if they had been expected it. Plus when they had called Inu Kamagoti Inu Yasha, it was unnerving. He didn't quite understand it but he couldn't help but feel that this was something that had happened before, or at least something similar. He hoped someone would come and explain it to him, this whole thing was driving him over into insanity!
"Why," he said quietly, "Why is this happening?!" He hugged the two sobbing friends closer to him as at long last the first tears began on his cheeks.
"All will be answered in due time Houshi." A voice they all knew well said disrupting the silence that had grown over the crowd.
Students, press, and officials, parted to let Kimiko through as she calmly walked toward the huddling trio on the ground. She knelt down in front of them and placed her hand on Kagome's shoulder causing the shocked girls eyes to focus on Kimiko's silver orbs. It was then they noticed the difference in Kimiko's appearance. She wore her long raven tresses back in a low ponytail with a single white string. She had a red medieval miko robe draped around her body and a bow was strapped to her back along with a few nicely decorated arrows.
"There's still time to save him." She said quietly, "Follow me."
Kagome quickly got up and followed the now known priestess. The minute they stepped out of the safety of the gate roots rose out of the ground challengingly. The Miko handed Kagome her arrows and told her to act on instinct. Kagome knocked the arrow, pulled back the string and aimed. When she let the arrow fly a pink glow surrounded the arrow and struck the plant completely disintegrating it. Kagome stared at it in amazement.
"Quickly child," Kimiko urged as the second root rammed it's way towards them, "Do not revel in that one victory while there is still danger!"
Kagome quickly knocked another arrow and shot the next root. Kimiko had Kagome kill a few more before she put a barrier up around them. In Kagome's head, memories swam of another life and Kagome looked at Kimiko startled as one particular memory appeared. Kimiko and Inu kissing?!
Kimiko was looking at Kagome expectantly, her face passive, as Kagome's eyes looked at Kimiko in realization and then fear, "I know who you are." She said quietly.
"Do you?" the miko asked raising her eyebrow.
"Your Kikyo." Kagome said in awe of what she was remembering.
Kikyo smiled a smile that didn't reach her eyes, "Yes, I am." Kagome looked a bit scared and suspicious causing Kikyo to laugh, "I am not going to hurt you girl, I am here to teach you how to use that bow and to do something I should have done a long time ago." Kagome was more then suspicious now, "Kagome listen to me, I have lived in a world I no longer belong to for such a long time. I've seen too much and learned more then my share of pain and sorrow. I've learned how to feel love and joy again and I have had more then my share of treachery. I am tired, my soul is tired of walking this earth without being whole. I believe that it is high time that I am put to rest and move on. It is time to mend your soul."
"Will it hurt?" Kagome asked before she could stop herself. By the look of horror on the girls face you would think that she was looking into the gates of hell instead of just being rude!
Kikyo chuckled and placed her hand on the girls shoulder once again, "I'm afraid it will hurt a bit." Kagome blushed, "Now I want you to listen to me" they had moved directly underneath the bud Inu was trapped in, "When I go, I want you to stay onto of my bones and listen, listen for what is to come."
With that Kikyo grabbed Kagome in a tight hug and smiled, " I wish you luck."
A strong wind whirled around the two hugging women and Kikyo disintegrated into dist right before Kagome's eyes. A blue glowing outline of the woman could still be seen hugging the young miko and like rain the women's outline turned a pink color. Her smile could just be made out on the face before it became a swirling wind around Kagome and slowly became absorbed in Kagome's skin. To Kagome it felt as though water was rushing through her veins and soul washing out any corruptions. Pain flared through her body and she fell to he knees onto the pile of bones on the ground in front of her. Her head pounded with memories of living hundreds for years. The giant bud behind her disintegrated and Inu fell lifeless to the ground into Kagome's arms. Her only thought was that he seemed so peaceful asleep and that she hoped the two of them lived through whatever was happening to her so that she could see him another day. Kagome bent down and gently kissed Inu's forehead and a single tear fell onto his cheek.
Wind began to whip around them and Kagome held Inu close to her as pain racked her body and she threw her head back and let out a blood curdling scream. A pink glow flew out of her in the form of rippling water and seemed to wash away all of the death and dark energies that had corrupted the school grounds. The school and its grounds told of tragedy and the bodies of the dead still lay dead but the souls that had not entirely died came back to life renewed but asleep their bodies still in critical condition. Still the death toll was high and the memory of the day would never leave the minds of those who survived, but they all felt as though their hearts were lighter then before, their minds wiser from seeing such devastation and there was a new feel hope in the air. In the back of their minds though, they new it was only the beginning of a new darkness.
Kagome stared at Inu's pale face and she knew he was alive, she could feel it and she knew that she had some how created a bond between the two of them older then time, or had it merely been reawakened? She knew that this bond had most certainly been there before. It was the reason she had felt so connected to Inu that first day they had met three weeks ago. Was it truly three weeks? It seemed like a lifetime. Kagome caressed his cheek and smiled, she didn't know what was to happen next but maybe she was going to find out soon.
A small wind was beginning to form and Kagome instinctively turned her head and listened. A small song began, its voice beautiful and chorused, soft at first but all who listened could hear it and because of that it grew in intensity.
The Prophecy
"In the darkness, in the light.
Out of time, away from might.
If one soul combines to two,
Every false will become true.
If ever one death becomes a lie,
Child of Light, spread your wings and fly.
If one who sealed gave their soul,
It shall combine to another whole.
To create a bond of amazing power,
That will save our world from this time on.
Child of light heed thy words,
One of half and one of whole
One once sealed will rise again
To smite the world with a bloody hand.
Now children of light,
Not one but two
The fate of this world rests within you
Through three trials we will challenge you
Through three trials we will strengthen you.
In these trials you will face,
A past that holds your greatest hate.
A resurrection of two that were lost,
A jewel of destruction that will claim you as host.
A pain that will rebirth a cutting wind,
A soul once broken now on the mend.
The second trial you will see,
A valley once lost by the god's great tree.
A remembrance of what once was,
And all of it for a greater cause.
A great alliance will come to be,
Of demon, human and of thee.
The third trial will bring you closer to your task,
So pay close attention to your heart.
It holds the answers to your fate
Of a past replayed through that of a play.
Pay heed dear children of dark and light,
Pay heed to he who wants to fight.
The final battle is drawing near,
So be wary of those that you hold dear.
The world's fate is in your hands,
So play this right or be forever damned.
Now is the time to end a battle of hate,
It should have ended in Sengoku Jidai.
So please awaken Child of light,
For now is the time to end the fight."
The wind stopped blowing it's melodic tune and Miroku and Sango ran out to the field to help Kagome and Inu get home for while the events had been broad casting on public TV Kagome's mother had come to take her home. They helped Inu into the car and quickly drove to the Higurashi shrine. The events of the day had fatigued and all of them walked into the house, laid Inu on a spare bed, crashed on the couch, and fall asleep immediately. Explanations would have to come tomorrow.
Well, that's it! Wow its short! ( That's the prophecy!!!!!! Not that great I know but I've been trying to get in that damned thing for ages!!!!!! I finally got it in there!!!!! Wahoo!!! So REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
