BLACK ROSE
By. Libertystar
Chapter one, black rose The night was still, not a single breeze whispered across the grass. Yet out of the darkness came an unearthly music. It seemed to wrap around your
heart and squeeze until you couldn't feel anything else but the pain.
Strangely enough, it also seemed to sooth the pain and shrouds you in loving comfort. If you followed the sound to its source you would be amazed
at what you saw. For there stood a girl no more then eighteen, she was
playing a flute of black ebony that glistened in her hands. As the song finished, she looked up, her eyes were an eerie black and her skin seemed
to glow in the darkness.

She was Kagome, goddess of death and guardian of the shikon no tama. She turned and raising her hand called to a small fire dragon, Aleofan "hello
baby, how did you like mommy's music?" she cooed at the baby dragon. It
chirped and flew around her; Aleofan then landed on her shoulder and snuggled up to her ear. With a small sad smile she strokes her shiny blue scales and when it gave a contented sigh, hugged it tight. She turned and began to walking back toward the pond that guarded her house. As she walked she contemplated what had happened in the last seventy-five years. Inuyasha and Kikyou were still alive and childless (which is to be expected since Kikyou is DEAD!!!) Songo and Miroku, now and three children of their own and several grand children. Keada, sadly had passed away some fifty years
ago. Shipou now was married and was a proud father of not one but two youkai pups. They never knew that there fortune in family life (except for
Inuyasha) was due to her. For it was she that had kept death at bay and
away from their children. They never knew that because of whom she was,
that she could never have a mate or know the joy of having kids.

For being the daughter/goddess of death and the sister to sorrow had taken
its toll on Kagome. She rarely smiled and no longer laughed the way she
used to when she unburdened y the responsibilities of great power. For
because of her close relationship to death she could never die, and yes that might be considered a blessing if you had someone to spend all that time with but alas she did not. For it was also because of that very same
relationship to death and to sorrow that it made it impossible to have
friends or family. Kagome walked through the forest and across a river until she came to a stop at the side of a lake. There was a young youkai
fox standing by the bank waiting for her, "who are you and what do you want?" she asked softly. "I am simply a messenger; the lords of the lands are holding a conference and my master Inuyasha, thought it would be wise if you were informed of this. The conference if tomorrow and noon." With that he sped away. 'Hmmm, it might be beneficial if I were to attend this
meeting, to bad I wasn't invited. I guess I will just have to invite
myself.' Kgome thought, a wicked light twinkled in her eyes. Well? What do you think? Is it ok or is it a little farfetched? Please read
and review.
