Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Inuyasha or any other
characters in the story, but I do hope 2 own Shesshomaru one day!!!!!.oh
yeah.if the little white boxes appear on your screen, it is not your
fault....for some reason it is just acting up! It gets on my nerves! It
only works for apostrophes! So if you see it then don't worry, but read the
story and r/r....thanx^_^.... let's begin.
Previously on 'Kagome and the Seven Shippos': the queen Sango had just died and Miroku has not a shred of sympathy for his once true love, instead he let the vile Kikyo out! What will happen next?.....
King Miroku had gone to the dungeon himself. He walked down the cold, damp stairway with a thousand little keys jingle back and forth. He was so happy that the anticipation was too much to handle! His pace quickened and his pulse raced! Finally, he was there! He looked within every cell trying to find his love, Kikyo. Thousands of cells, but Kikyo were not in any of them! He looked far into the chamber and he finally saw his love sitting in the corner of her cell.
" Kikyo! Kikyo! Kikyo! Are you all right? Have those vile soldiers hurt you in any way?" asked Miroku in passion for his love.
" No. they have not hurt me.but why did you come down here? Won't your queen get mad for you coming to be with me?" she asked in a sly tone.
" No, Kikyo. She can't! She has passed and now you are free!" he jumped with excitement and let Kikyo out.
She then jumped in his arms and kissed him.
" Oh, poor Sango. I didn't want her to die. oh well. Now we can be together as one big happy family! Right, Miroku?" she had no sympathy for death of Queen Sango, nor respect in her tone of voice. Miroku looked at her and they went back up the stairwell. When they got to the door at the top, Kikyo had asked about Kagome. Miroku said that she would adjust to her new mother. Besides, she was too young to know that her real mother is dead. Kikyo had put on a devilish grin and proceeded out the door.
8 year later.
Kikyo was now growing old and so was her king. She was upset over the fact that her delicate skin was now pruning. Her once dark hair had turned gray and white. She was furious about that!
" Miroku! Miroku!" she screamed.
" Yes, my love? What is troubling you?" asked the pitiful king.
" I hate being old! I want to be young and beautiful, again!"
". But you are beautiful!"
" Really? Do you really think I would listen to the likes of you? Ha! Fine. If you think so..I will be right back." She then left and went to her private quarters.
She then looked into a dazzling mirror. It was embroidered with gold and thousands of small jewels. There were delicate painted pictures of roses and other flowers.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest one of all?" she asked into the mirror.
The mirror then glowed with a vibrant light and then spoke.
"Why the fairest one of all is Kagome, you are 2nd though."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! She can't be! She is nothing, but a small child! She can not be prettier than me! I can't let her...."
Kikyo then ran down the long staircase and entered a gloomy and dank room. She turned on a switch and a dim light shown.
" I will be the fairest one ALL! That Kagome will never be more beautiful than I. NEVER!" she screamed.
That night she stayed in the cold room. She worked endless hours to make something, something that will make Kagome die. She was not going to have the little Kagome be better than her. She was absolutely furious about such a thought. She tried and tried to make something, but failure had pierced her inconsiderate heart. Since she had failed, she thought of a new plan.
'I will let that stupid child go far in the woods, then I will send a huntsman to go and kill her. Ha ha ha ah ha ha ah! She will never be found again!' she thought.
That morning, she told Kagome to go out and pick some flowers and bring them back to look at. The flowers in the wild were far prettier than the ones in the garden, she explained to Kagome. Kagome being of only ten, agreed and set off to please her step- mother.
"What a foolish child! She believes me! Ha! I should go and tell one of my men to go and retrieve her. She should be pretty far out by now. Oh... I bet the poor doll is scared by now. Ha ha ha!" she laughed with great satisfaction.
She then left for the soldiers' quarters and asked one of the men to come and do her a favor. He was delighted to serve the queen.
"Queen Kikyo, what is your desire?" he asked.
"I want you to find my step-daughter and kill her!"
"... but my queen! She is your daughter! Why?"
"It is none of your business! Now go, before I get angry! And also, bring back her heart!"
He was shocked and horrifid! But he had no say in it, so he fled off into the forest. He searched for hours and not a trace could be found. Then all of a sudden he heard a young girl's laughter. He rushed towards it. He could hear it illuminate from a small patch of flowers. He saw her!
There she was, but a little child playing amongst the flowers. He saw her frolicking and dancing with great joy. The sun shone through the treetops and glistened upon the youth. She sparkled with immense beauty. He was so mesmerized, that he could not bear to kill such a creature.
"Kagome!" he yelled.
"Who is there?" she questioned.
"I was sent to come and kill you! Your step-mother had ordered me to kill you and bring back your heart as proof!"
"Why would she do such a thing?"
"Miss Kagome, I have no idea."
Kagome's youthful face had streams of tears. She could not understand why her stepmother would do such a thing! She fell upon the floral ground and cried with pain. She couldn't bear the thought.
"Please, Miss Kagome. You must run far away and never come back again. Queen Kikyo will be after you."
"But where should I go?"
"Anywhere! Please be off now!"
She shook her head and ran deep within the forest. The huntsman had to bring back a heart, so he found a wild boar, killed it, and took its heart. The huntsman arrived a short while later and gave Queen Kikyo the heart.
"I'm pleased. You have done well." She said in a joyful tone.
"Thank you, my Queen."
"Was she difficult to find?"
"Well, it did take a little time finding her, but killing her took only a few minutes."
"Good for you!"
They both let out a hardy laugh. Queen Kikyo was merry for the rest of the day. She danced around and had a happy tone (which isn't like her. ^_-)
Meanwhile....
"I'm so lost and scared! I wish I could go home."
She walked for a long time without anyone to talk to. She so miserable and terrified of being alone and without the protection of the soldiers and the castle. She walked through different pathways and turned into dead ends. Nothing seemed familiar and the road seemed it was extending out into oblivion.
"I want to go home!" she cried.
The daylight was fading and the cold night was approaching. She could feel her small hands freezing and her body began to shake. Her cheeks were frozen and her nose was turning red. The creatures of the night emerged and were hungry. She could hear them rustling underneath the brush.
Her small shadow had now faded and the stars were dimly shining. The treetops were covering the moon, so she was walking in the pit of darkness. She heard a loud screech and ran for her life. She heard her heart beat in her throat and her pulse quickened. She felt the dirt under her feet shuffle and form into a cloud of dust.
The trees haunted her with their rustling branches. They had seemed to be laughing at her helplessness. She felt their twigs crush under her feet and their branches rip her clothing. Her hair was tangled and small plants were trapped like flies in a spider web.
The night had seemed to last an eternity. All she did was run and run. She had no where to go and everything felt hopeless. She tripped on a rock and scratched her knee. The warm blood made her cringe with fear. She cried for help, but it was useless. She then let her cold and shaking body get up off the frigid ground. The ray light of any hope of surviving was infantile.
Just as she was about to give up, she saw in the distance a small cottage. She ran with all her might. When she finally arrived, she approached with caution, for she did not want to wake anyone. Slowly approaching without a sound, she peered into the window of the little house. She thought it was the prettiest thing she ever saw.
Inside the small, but well furnished abode were seven small beds and a table holding seven plates with all the silverware delicately places in their correct order.
The beds each had a small colorful quilt at the end of the bed. The quilts were folded and well kept. On the headboard of each bed, was beautifully carved scenery and around the scenery was well-detailed flowers, that are seen throughout the forest.
"I hope they do not mind me if I go in and make myself comfortable."
She then placed her hand on the doorknob and slowly peered into the cottage. She saw that no one was home so she let herself in. She then called, but the only thing she heard was her voice echo through the cottage. She assumed that since no one was home, she would enjoy the hardy dinner in front of her.
