Ionuyasha's Childhood
Chapter twelve; Awakened
A/N; I slept till two this afternoon, so I'm ready to type! I would like to thank dragonfly, Jodea Moondreamer, magic-shield, HotaruMaxwell, Ztbabe1, Super Baka Cow, and SesshoumaruFanCall911 for reviewing! I'm so happy people like my story! I never expected to receive so many reviews! ^-^
I could feel warm fingers touching my forehead, I opened my eyes slightly to look at my surroundings. I could see raven hair blowing in the breeze, obscuring my vision of the trees. I opened my eyes wider and my vision cleared. The terrible pain that had been ripping through my body was now just a dull throb. The poison that my brother had inflicted upon me was gone.
*My brother. How could he!?*
"You're awake. That's good," a warm voice said. I looked to the side and saw a girl kneeled down next to me.
She had warm brown eyes that were wise beyond her years. She wore the robes of a miko and her hair was up in the style of a miko. The girl held a rag up to my face and I stiffened, the girl halted then pressed the rag against my skin.
"What the hell are you doing!?" I demanded, snatching at the hand that held the rag.
"I'm helping you, what does it look like?" she said as she took the rag away and dipped it in a pail of water at her side.
"Why would you help me!? I'm a half-breed!" I said, spitting the last word like venom.
"It does not matter what you are. When you are poisoned, you need help."
"Why!? Why do you help me!?"
"I am a miko. It is my duty. My name is Kikyou. What is yours?"
"Why should I tell you!?"
"Because it is polite," she said with a gentle smile on her face.
I looked at the strange girl and answered her question. "Inuyasha." *Kikyo has the sacred jewel. I only have to find out where it's at, then I can become all demon,* I schemed to myself.
"Good. I live in the village in that direction," she said as she pointed behind her. "I can see that you are much better off now. I am going to return to my village." She lifted her bow and arrows from the ground at her side and stood up. She turned from me and walked in the direction she had pointed out.
I leapt in a tree and followed her as I hopped from branch to branch. I could feel the breeze blowing through my hair as I followed the miko. She would lead me to the jewel and I would take it from her. I could imagine the look on her face as my claws tore through her flesh, as her body was ripped asunder. I smirked to myself at the thought of her slow and terrible death.
I watched as she stepped into the village and made her way to a shrine. I followed discretely behind, hopping from tree to roof top and to behind several different huts. I watched as she walked inside and I stood by the doorway looking inside. She knelt in front of a pedestal that held a chain of demon fangs. In the center was a jewel that glowed with a purple pink light. The Shikon no Tama. I smirked as I watched Kikyou mix herbs. It was time to set my plan into action.
I walked away from the shrine and jumped into the air. I landed in the village center and started a distraction. I raced through the village, knocking people over and tearing buildings down. I watched the shrine intently, waiting for the girl to immerge at the shocked screams of `demon' and `monster'.
Finally, the girl rushed from the shrine doorway with her bow and arrow in hand. She looked around with a calm air. I ignored her and ran at top speed and jumped over her head. I leapt through the doorway and grabbed the necklace, then ran back out. I ran from the village into the nearby forest.
I suddenly found myself pinned to a tree with arrows hanging from my sleeves. I looked up and saw Kikyou staring at me with another arrow pulled taught in the bow. I stared at her in shock and the silence seemed to last an eternity. She stepped up to me and took the jewel from my hand, leaving me pinned to the tree. She walked away, giving me a glancing look before returning to the village.
I reached a clawed hand up to one of the arrows pinned in my sleeve. I wrapped my fingers around it and drew away from it immediately. It was glowing a faint pink and burned the skin on my fingers. I sat pinned to the tree till I finally got sick of hanging around. (A/N: Nice pun, huh? ^o^) I gripped the arrow in my claws and ripped it from my kimono sleeve. I ripped the other one out and slumped to the ground. My hands were burning from the purity spells on the arrows. I stared at the burned flesh of my fingers, that girl was pissing me off.
A/N; How was that? I know it's not very long, but I don't like to make people wait long. Please review!!
