THE LIFE OF A SONG-MAIDEN
-by Kittymui-
The requiem of Life
No!!!! Kagome screamed in her mind and awoke. Sweat drops dripping off
her chin. W-where... She looked around and realized that she was in her
bedroom of the castle again.
It was already afternoon, but since the sun was blocked by the thick clouds, the light coming in de bedroom was very dim.
When she tried to get up, her body hurt tremendously. Itai... w-what happened... Kagome laid back down and closed her eyes. The Chimeras were attacking the castle...and one used an antipode storm on me and...
[Flashback]
'Kagome!!' Inuyasha shouted as he jumped on the balcony, landing between the storm and Kagome. 'Stay behind me!' Inuyasha stood protectively in front of Kagome with Tetsusaiga in his hands; ready to counterattack. 'Eat this!! Kaze no Kizu!!' Inuyasha swung his Tetsusaiga at the storm and huge blades of light appeared and flew towards it. 'What the...!!' Inuyasha's eyes widened when he saw that his Kaze no Kizu cut through the storm. It didn't stop the attack?!
Inuyasha quickly turned around, his eyes filled with worry. Chikusou...there's no time to dodge it together with Kagome! He gritted his teeth, but suddenly he could hear a voice in his mind again.
You have to get away! Don't worry about me!
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. 'No way! There's no way I'm going to leave you behind!' he yelled and pulled Kagome in his arms in order to shield her from the attack.
Kagome's eyes widened and struggled in his grip. NOO!! Inuyasha!! You can't... you'll die... I don't want... Before she could finish, the storm hit them both and all became black for her.
At the same time, the Kaze no Kizu hit the Chimera, leaving no trace of it behind in the courtyard.
[End flashback]
Kagome's eyes shot open. Inuyasha!!! Ignoring the tremendous pain of her body, she got up; picked up a thin robe and ran to the hall.
Please... please be okay... Kagome thought as she ran through the halls.
She stopped abruptly when a voice halted her.
'You shouldn't be running around in your condition.' It was Sesshoumaru who spoke.
Kagome was panting from the run as she looked up at Sesshoumaru, who was walked towards her.
I thought you were injured. Kagome thought while scanning his body.
'Unlike humans, youkais heal very quickly.' he responded to her questioning eyes.
'You were looking for Inuyasha, am I right?' he asked. Kagome quickly nodded.
'Follow me.' Sesshoumaru walked down the halls.
~*~*~*~
'This is his room.' Sesshoumaru stopped by a door. 'I think he's resting at the moment.'
When Kagome wanted to enter the room, Sesshoumaru quickly held her arm.
'Kagome, be prepared and don't feel guilty about it.' he spoke.
Kagome gave him a puzzled look.
'As I told you before, unlike humans, the bodies of youkais heal themselves automatically. But since he's a hanyou...he might not recover from those severe wounds he has.' Sesshoumaru explained as he looked away.
Kagome's eyes widened in shock. She then looked up at Sesshoumaru and gave him a small nod. With that, he let go of her arm and watched Kagome enter the room.
-- In Inuyasha's room --
Kagome closed the door behind her and looked around. His room was almost similar to hers, only the blue color was replaced by red.
Kagome immediately noticed Inuyasha lying on the bed and she slowly walked to his side.
Inuyasha was breathing heavily, as if he was lacking oxygen. His chest was bandaged and there were wounds and bruises everywhere.
I-I'm so sorry, Inuyasha, because of me... you... you... Kagome was crying, tears rolled down her cheeks as she knelt down by the bed. She picked up his hand and held it close to her.
Gomen nasai... A tear rolled to her chin and landed on Inuyasha's hand.
'D-dare...?' Inuyasha whispered as he slowly opened his eyes.
He noticed Kagome at the corner of his eye. 'K-Kagome?' Kagome looked up, her cheeks all wet of the tears.
'Why are you crying?' Inuyasha whispered as he touched her cheek with the hand that Kagome was holding.
G-gomen nasai... Inuyasha. he heard her sobbing is his mind.
'You sound like I'm going to die...' Inuyasha forced an irritated look on his face but failed.
'If it weren't for the poison that had entered my body, I wouldn't have such trouble to recover.' Inuyasha coughed.
He looked at Kagome and forced a smile on his face. 'I-I guess hanyou's aren't that strong after all.'
He dried her tears with his hand. 'Don't...cry, it's not...your...fault...' he slightly smiled and closed his eyes. 'B-be...s-strong...' His hand went limp and fell on the bed.
Kagome's eyes widened. NO!! Not again!!... I don't want to experience that again!!!
She begged in her mind. I can't... I WON'T let you DIE!!!
With that Kagome stood up, her eyes filled with determination. Her Shikon no Tama began the glow. Kagome put her hands together and closed her eyes. The power to heal, give me the power to heal... Shikon no Tama!! She demanded in her mind.
A white light surrounded her body. She opened her mouth in the hope that her determination could bring back her voice to her.
~*~*~*~ At the same time ~*~*~*~
After standing a while at the door, Sesshoumaru started to walk away.
What is this sorrowful feeling? he thought while walking down the hall.
Then he stopped when he suddenly heard a voice. Coming from Inuyasha's room!?!
He quickly ran back to the door and listened. Kagome is...singing... he listened more carefully. ... a requiem!?
-- In Inuyasha's room --
Please let me save him. I know I have the power to do that...
A soft voice could be heard in the room.
'Ano...umi...e...'
[AN: This song is called 'Solitude' and it's sung by Akino Arai. Don't mind the lyrics, I'm only borrowing it for the melody ^-^ I don't OWN it!! But I really really like this song!]
My voice!! It has come back to me!! Kagome thought relieved and she continued to sing.
'tsuzu...ku...michi...tada kuru...ma wo... hashira...seru...'
Suddenly Inuyasha's body was also surrounded by white light. A purple damp came out of his body; it was pushing out the poison; spots of blood disappeared and the bruises were starting to heal itself.
This time, Kagome wasn't floating in the air as she used her powers. T-this is hard...I-I guess I'm just a novice...b-but...I've got to save Inuyasha, at all costs!!
Kagome opened her eyes slightly. G-good...the poison is being pushed out. She thought relieved and closed her eyes again to concentrate.
What is this warm feeling? Inuyasha thought as he slightly opened his eyes. Am I d-dead? he thought when he saw his body being surrounded by light.
Then he noticed someone standing next to the bed, also surrounded by the same light. Kagome... His eyes widened. She's s-singing!? He continued to stare at her; her eyes were closed and her long black hair was floating a little above her shoulders.
'anata ga... ita... ano... umi... e...'
The song had ended and the light around Kagome and Inuyasha was starting to disappear.
Kagome slowly opened her eyes, only to look in those beautiful golden orbs that were locked on her dark blue ones.
A teardrop appeared on her cheek as she gave Inuyasha a relieved look. 'Yokatta...' she whispered before she closed her eyes and started to fall forwards.
'Kagome!' Inuyasha quickly sat up and caught her before she fell on his lap. 'Kagome!! Wake up!! Open your eyes!' he shouted as he turned her face to him. She's still breathing... he thought relieved and watched Kagome's sleeping face in his embrace.
You've saved my life... He slightly smiled and lowered his head. Inuyasha placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Arigatou...
~*~*~*~ After a while ~*~*~*~
Inuyasha walked out of his room and closed the door behind him. Then he noticed Sesshoumaru approaching and quickly turned to him. 'We need to talk.' was the only thing he said before he turned around and walked away. Inuyasha followed him.
