It was early morning when Kagome finally woke up. She rolled on to her back and looked at the sky and thought of everything that had happened. She knew that the Sesshomaru's curse had something to do with her turning in to a demon. But she didn't know how. He had said that when the curse was broken it would grant the deepest wish in her heart and in his. She knew that she never wished to be demon. at least out loud, she had wished to be able to be able to live with Sesshomaru and be accepted by every one.
* I guess that the only way to be with Sesshomaru and be accepted is to be a demon. I remember him saying that he wished that I could talk to animals like he could, that must have been his wish * she finally concluded.
She sighed and she looked around at her surroundings. She stared up at the giant god tree that stood before her and inhaled the air deeply and was shocked when she noticed for the first time that she had a fanatic sense of smell. She could smell the trees the plants, and even the smell of smoke from a village that she guessed must be at the edge of the forest.
She sat perfectly still and listened intently and was shocked as she heard the voices of the birds, but what was weird was that she heard them directly above her, she looked up and focused intently up and saw nearly 70 feet in the air there were two tiny birds chirping for their mom at the tipey-top of the giant god tree.
I guess that makes sense, I am a dog demon and dogs have great hearing and smell, I guess they have a great sight too.
Everything around her smelled so clean and neat. But, there was another smell, a smell of someone else, close buy too.
She stood perfectly still to hear the intruder but she could only smell them.
Slowly she stood and walked around to the other side of the God tree. She gasped, a look of horror on her eyes. There was a boy who was pinned to the tree he looked like he was asleep but he wasn't breathing, but he wasn't dead because there was vines growing all over him, showing that he had been there for a vary long time, and yet his body hadn't rotted. * He must be sealed * she concluded.
She just sat there and looked at him. Slowly she walked up to get a closer look at him. He had pure white hair like Sesshomaru but he didn't have any markings on his face like he did. And instead of pointed ears he had two dog-ears sticking out of the top of his head. She found herself lightly stroking his cheek, but pulled back when she released what she was doing, slightly embarrassed.
Then she decided to look around the forest she sighed * I'll probably be here for a while *
She walked up to him and touched his face softly. It looked so much like Sesshomaru, how long ago had it been? A few days? Weeks? Months? She didn't know. She suddenly felt the erg to get away. And she ran off into the woods.
As she walked aimlessly about until she found herself at an old well, long dried up. She sat on the end of the well and looked into the forest and started to hum again Sesshomaru's song. She wished she could remember the words.
Suddenly she noticed that everything was quiet, to quiet (A/N sorry! I couldn't resist putting that!).
Suddenly a fluff ball came crashing down on the ground in front of her. She ran to it and gasped, there in on the ground was a young demon, a fox demon to be exact. Only 5-6 years old by the looks of it.
She gently picked him up as she realized that he was coming to his senses.
Its eyes snapped open and it tried to struggle out of her arms, but she held tight.
"Calm down." she cooed tenderly trying to get the young demon to stop struggling.
It looked at her for the first time and froze, taking this to her advantage she searched his body for wounds. Mostly he had only scratches but when she checked his arms she couldn't help but gasp, for he had a vicious wound running down his right shoulder.
"Who did this to you?" She asked, her voice shaking in anger.
He pointed feebly with his one good arm in the direction that he had come.
"Ok." Still the tiny demon clutching the she ran, faster then she had ever dreamed, she ran so fast it felt as though she was flying, but she didn't seem to notice * Who ever did this will pay* she thought angrily.
"First I need to put you somewhere safe." She said softly to demon, who had passed out, * probably from the pain * She thought angrily.
She needed to get a better look around and she remembered that Sesshomaru was able to jump really high, so she tried. She gasped, she must have been 100 ft in the air! While she was up she saw the village that she had smelled earlier not far away. She rushed towards it. She jumped from tree to tree in the directions of the village. When she first entered the clearing she immediately smell herbs. * The healer of this village must have a herb garden * she thought. She immediately found the house. She rushed to it and knocked urgently on the door. An old woman answered it.
"Please take care of him," She asked desperately as she thrust the tiny demon into her arms "I will return for him."
The old woman nodded dumbly. And with that the she was gone.
Kagome jumped again and heard the calls of the animals that only she could hear.
The young girl looked shocked at the seen before her, many of the animals of the forest had been backed up into a corner along with many peaceful (well.. maybe not peaceful, but weak) looking demons, much like the young Kitsune that had told her of the massacre, being tormented and being eaten one by one by a giant centipede lady.
Right as she was just about to strike again, the little girl jumped in her way and slashed her hand off.
"Leave them alone!" She cried, "What did they do to you?!"
The Centipede lady snarled and dove at her, missing terribly but landed on some of the fleeing creatures below. * I have to get her away from here * she thought desperately as she ran in to the only place where she has never seen a breathing soul, to the God tree.
* I NEED HELP * she thought desperately. Suddenly at the Shinboku tree InuYasha's heart slowly starts to beat once again.
