Chapter 1: Sisters of Purity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once upon a time, there where three-count em'-three sisters....well, genetically they were NOT sisters. They were actually orphans who treated each other as sisters. No one knows what happened to their parents, all anyone knows was that a long time ago, they were found on the steps of the church and ever since then, the priestess/nun Mother Kaede had been taking care of them.
The oldest daughter was Sister Kikyo. She was the most skilled priestess of the three, with her magic intuition, and holy bearing, she was truly the strongest. Sister Sango, was the middle sister, she wasn't a priestess, but she was a damn good demon exterminator! She was good at what she did particularly because she was so determined and had fun with what she did. And the youngest of the three was Sister Kagome. Poor Kagome. The WORST at being a priestess, she was. Never getting her spells right, she wasn't even all that great at archery, hitting the target was sheer luck. But her sisters and mother loved her anyway. (AN: oh how gracious. *Sarcasm*)
Well it was a beautiful morning in the sengoku jidai. The girls sat by the lake on this particularly lovely day. They sat under the shade of a tree in the cool grass playing poker. That's right, church orphans playing poker! ^^
Kikyo looked up from her cards suspiciously. Sango looked up from her cards, her eyes darted from Kikyo to Kagome. Kagome just smiled slyly at her cards. Sango petted Kirara, who was purring in her lap.
Sango laid her cards down. "Five of a kind!"
Kikyo laid her cards down. "Four aces!"
Kagome smiled and laid her cards down. "Full house!"
Sango collapsed onto her back and stuck her feet in the air. "Ah, man!" she hit the earth with her fists.
Kikyo sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Kagome, how come you always win!?"
Kagome just smiled and collected the wood chips they used. "Sorry girls! Kikyo's an exorcist, Sango's an exterminator, and I'm the Queen of Hearts!" she held up said card and smiled triumphantly. ^_^
Sango and Kikyo sighed with the agony of defeat. Kikyo stood up and looked at the position of the sun. "It's about time we head back sisters, Mother Kaede might need our help."
"Help? You mean she needs us for child labor!" Sango said and Kagome giggled. "All we ever do besides training is clean the temple!"
"Kagome, wilt ye scrub the floor?" the youngest mocked Kaedes voice.
"Sango, wilt ye polish the alter?" Sango mimicked also.
Kikyo looked at them out of the corner of her eye like they were rude and said. "That's not funny! She doesn't ask us to do that much anyway, and it's only fair that we do what our fair share of the chores."
Sango and Kagome were quiet after that but they smiled the rest of the way home. When they arrived at the temple, Mother Kaede was standing out front talking to some strange man. The girls knew he wasn't from their village, what did he want?
Then Kaede saw them out of her one still usable eye and said, "Girls! Come hither! There be news from a neighboring village!"
The girls crossed the grass to the old woman and Kikyo asked, "What is it Mother?"
Kaede looked at them seriously and said, "Pay attention, there is a village under attack by many a demon. I want you to go with this man here and exterminate them."
The man stood looking at them pleadingly.
"Wait!" Sango said. "Are you actually giving us a mission?! To do by ourselves?!"
"Yes, I be too old to go exterminating whole villages now, so I leave it to the youth." She said.
The girls looked at each other excitedly. Their first REAL exorcism!!
--------
-
They laid a map of the village out and pinned the sides of the parchment down with rocks. The girls sat on different sides of it. Kikyo got out a cube of charcoal and started staking her claim right away. "Alright, I'll take this part of the village." She marked a whole half of the village that was next to the lake.
"Wait! Why do you get that huge chunk?!" Kagome asked.
"Because! That is where most of the demons are and I can handle them, I'm just making it easier for you." She said. She looked at the angry looks on their faces and she laughed lightly. "Don't worry! You can have the biggest piece next time!"
Sango looked at her suspiciously then looked at her other sister and said, "Remember Kagome, Kikyo owes us BIG!"
Kagome nodded.
Sango took the brush and circled the other side of the map that was next to the forest. "I'll take this piece."
"What?!" Kagome said.
"Well, they're coming from the forest aren't they? I can create a strong barrier then me and Kirara can destroy the ones in that section."
Kagome looked at the map knowing how they were trying to cheat her. "What about me?! There's no where else for me to exorcise!"
"Sure there is!" Kikyo said. She pointed at a square on the map. "You can exorcise the church!"
Kagome face faulted then looked up at them infuriated. "Are you kidding me?! No intelligent demon alive would try to possess a church!"
"Sure they do Kagome!" Sango lied. "Besides, if they're there, you'll have a better chance at exorcising them!"
Kagome suddenly gave her a flat glare. "And what is THAT supposed to mean?"
Sango looked a little uncomfortable. "Uh, well,"
Kikyo's lips thinned and she said, "No offense Kagome, but you aren't exactly the best priestess."
"Yeah, I mean, the church will be good practice, you can improve and stuff!" Sango said trying to sound nice.
But Kagome knew what they meant. Just because she was the youngest, and she failed a lot of the purification tests, they thought she was incapable of handling an equal third of a demon infested village! Well she would show them, yes she would! She would purify that church, and she would show just how competent she was!
