Part of your world ch. 6
I forgot to mention: I FIXED MY LAPTOP!!! (actually, the kind folks @ Gateway fixed it, buuuut) so I can update like 3 times as fast!! YAY!! warning: this chap is kinda long, to avoid a sort of cliffhanger.
Kagome woke up the next morning around 11:00. She got up, and noticed she was in one of Inuyasha's kimonos. She walked out of her room. He was nowhere to be found. She found a notice on the stereo. IT said "Press play". She did, and sat down. The tape began to play.
"See the thing about you, that caught, my eye, is the same thing that makes me change, my mind, kinda hard to explain, but girl, i'll try. Listen sit down this may take a while. See this girl she sorta looks just like you. She even smiles just the way you doooo so innocent she seemed, but I, was fooled. I'm reminded when I look at you."
'You remind me, by Usher. But why?' thought Kagome.
"You remind me of a girl, that I, one knew. See her face whenever I, i LOok, at you, wouldn't belive all of the things, she put, me through. This is why I just can't get with you.
"thought that she was the one, for me. Till i found out she was on, her dream, ooh she was sexin' eve ryone but meeee. This is why we can never be!
"you remind me of a girl, that I, once knew. See her face whenever I, I look, at you, wouldn't belive all of the things, she put, me through. this is why I just can't get with you!
"oooh, it's so unfair to you (so unfair) I'd delvering the - to you. WIsh I kneeew (wish I knew, how ot seperate the 2) you remind me!
"you remind me of a girl...."
The song ended, and Inuyasha's voice came out of the stereo. "Her name was Kikyo, your great grandmother. She looked exactly like you. She was also the miko of the Shikon no Tama jewl. I loved her, and she loved me. We were going to be married. I took her back to my time to get married. But I left her alone, just for an hour, and an evil demon named Naruku took my shape and tricked her. When I came home, she shot me. She shot an arrow right through my heart, pinning me to a tree. I was unable to move. She was a powerful enchantress. I watched as she left down the Bone Eater's well with the Shikon no Tama. It was to be the key to our happiness, turning me into a human so we could be wed. I was pinned to the tree for many years, laughed at by village children. Someone freed me one night, late. I couldn't see her. When I got free, I jumped down the well after Kikyo. But it had been about 50 yeas, and she was long dead. So I searched out her kin. And I found you. You... you're amazing, you're wonderful. But.... Kikyo's ghost still haunts me. I cannot be free of t. I need the Shikon no Tama to become a full demon and try and forget about her.
"By the time you hear this, I will be long gone. I am going on a trip, and will be back in 3 days exactly. Wait here for me. Oh, and don't hate me for the sleeing potion in your cocoa last night. I had to do it so I could get away, you would never let me go. Feel free to use any of my food, medicine herbs, anything, just not all of it at once, ok? And if you want more information about Kikyo, all I have is under my pillow. Goodnight, dear Kaogome."
She sat there, stunned, for a minute. Kikyo. Her great grandmother. It was hard to think of her as a real person, whow loved this man. And the well... it was on her property.... it was where Inuyasha had been staying before he got this apartment. He had probably been sneaking home whenever he wanted...
Kikyo... Kikyo hated her. She knew that much. Why, she couldn't fathom. No, she knew. Somehow, in the afterlife, Kikyo must have found out about Lilith. Of course Lilith would be her favorite great grandchild. And somehow her ghost must have been watching Kagome as she killed her little sister... she was doomed. Even though she had never met her in life, who else could have come to her in that party? And shown her those images of Inuyasha? She wanted her dead. It would be better to die. She was worthless, utterly worthless. She could do nothing right. She deserved only death.
But Kikyo...
Kagome resolved to find out more about this Kikyo. She went to Inuyasha's cot in the bedroom and looked under his bed. She found a ring, a photo from an instant photo booth, and another cassette tape. She left the ring there and took out the photo. There was a beautiful girl in it, who bore a passing resemblance to Kagome, and Inuyasha. They were laughing, happy. She was radiant, glowing with an internal light. She had a wonderful smile. Her hair and eyes were the same color as Kagome's, and her skin, and she had a similar face, but the resemblance stopped there. Kagome knew that she could never be so pretty. She replaced the photo and took out the tape. She put it in the player.
A young girl's voice rang out.
"Hi Inuyasha! Merry Christmas! I made this tape for you, since you like my singing so much. Yes, I know, I should be sending a tape to a recording studio, but... well,... to tell the truth, I'm scared they won't like it. Yes, I know, that's nonesense, but... maybe once you are human you can help me out some, huh? Anyways, here is the tape of christmas songs."
The girl, Kikyo, began to sing. Her voice was rich and wonderful, like a nut. It was deep and womanly, but she hit the high notes easily and gracefully. It was wonderful.
"The first noel, the angels did sing, was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay. In fields where they, lay keepng their sheep, on a cold winter's night that was so deep."
The noels began low and rich, the second one a tad higher than the first.
"Nooo-el, noel"
Then 3rd one held that note, and the 4th slid back down.
"nooo-el, noel. Born is the kiing of Issss-ri-el."
The next set began the same,
"Noooel, noo-el"
Then went up and kept going up, until the last one was high, sweet, and angelic without any signs of strain.
"noooel, noooeeeeeeell. Born is the kiing of i-i-i-s ri-el!" (note: that's how you pronounce the Isreal in the song, though it is misspelled)
It was beautiful, like an angel from heaven. She sang "All I want for Christmas", "Jingle bells", "Jingel bell rock", "Walkin in a winter wonderland", and "Merry X-mas (war is over)", all as well as the first, though with less effect. When the tape ended, Kagome was realing in shock. Was this person even possible? To be so pretty, and so talented, and not be famous? And to love a Hanyou, and want to marry him? And to think that Kagome knew this Hanyou! She realized then that she had never recorded herself singing. She decided that she needed to hear some bad singing to balence it out. So she found a blank tape, put it in the recorder, and hit play.
"umm... testing? testing? " She began to sing. "Santa can you hear me? I have been so good this year. And all I want is one thing: tell me my true love is her! He's all I want, just for me, underneath my christmas tree. I'll bed waiting here, Santa that's my only wish this year."
She hit stop, then rewind, then play.
"Santa can you hear me? I have been so good this year..."
Could it be possible that she had accidnetally put Kikyo's tape in again by mistake? Certgainly it was her voice coming from the machine. She decided to record asong Kikyo didn't sing.
"The bells are ringing the song they're singing the song is bringing the people round. They hear the instructions they follow directions they travel great distences to the sound. They are persuaded by the music of the bells! They're not responsible for anything they do. The people know, the way to go, the bells are ringing they hear the sound!
"the bells are ringing and everyone's walking with arms extended in a trance. Forgetting the washing neglecting the children they're dropping all buisnesses at hand. The bells are telling them to act a differnt way. They cock their heads so they won't miss what it will say. And now they know, the way to go, the bells are ringing they hear the sound!
"The bells are pealing and they're revealing the simple key to happiness. it isn't evil it isn't good it's only what the people miss. The bells explain what they've been missing all along. They were disorganized and that was what was wrong. And now they know, the way to go, the bells are ringing they hear the sound!"
She hit stop and rewound, then hit play. She was amazed. Kikyo didn't know that song! Then that voice must have come from.... her? impossible. Yet true. Possesion? But why? or maybe.... but no, she was worthless, and she was a murderer. There was no way any god had given her such a wonderful voice. She made herself some breakfast and resolved to forget the whole thing.
REVIEW!!! And I know she 4-got the bridge, but she wanted to make it fast. The songs used in this song-ful chapter were, in order of appearence: U remind Me by Usher, The First Noel, All I want for Christmas by Britney Spears, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bell Rock, Walkin in a winter wonderland, Merry X-mas (war is over) by Jon Lennon, All I want for christmas again (Kagome sang the chourus), and The Bells by They Might Be Giants. REVIEW! or did I say that already? oh well.
