By The Light Of The Moon
Chapter 3: Ryuki
Thanks to fanficgirl for answering me!!! Special thanks to all of my other reviewers!!!!! *************************************************************
Kagome awoke to a fire burning ten feet away from her, 'Weird' she thought. Looking up at the sky she realized it was the too late to be night and too early to be morning. You know what they say, darkest before dawn. It was all too true, the moon was hidden by trees, and the small fire cast eerie shadows of darkness into the thicker parts of the forest. Behind her a twig snapped.
Kagome spun around. "Don't be frightened, Lady Kikyo." Said a tall, dark figure, clothed in dark robes and high boots, no flesh was visible of the creature making it hard not to be frightened. "I'm sorry, you must have the wrong person, you see, I'm Kagome." She pointed to herself in the 'me Jane you Tarzan' sort of introduction. The creature removed the hood of the robe.
Dark eyes, pale skin, pointed teeth, pale blond hair, and a scar beneath the left eye were visible. The girl looked surprisingly young for her eyes.
Kagome felt a sense of familiarity, but instinct told her to run. And run she did. Fast.

"Look, sir, my father is sick, my son is suffering minor trauma, my daughter is still missing and you're telling me you can't do a thing about it until she's been gone a full 24 hours?" Mrs. Higurashi screeched into the phone. "I'm sorry ma'am." The operator apologized, he was used to this type of case, he did not fully agree with the law, but it still was a law, and being an officer of the law he had to uphold the rule.
"Don't give me that crap." She snapped tiredly. "What do you people want, you want to wait until her body is dragged back here, or maybe you should wait until she's good and starved, maybe she's been kidnapped and you think that waiting until she's suffered enough will help with your fucking publicity!!!" she slammed the phone down and sank to her knees.
"Mom?" whispered Sota softly. "Yes honey?" she smiled up at him to assure him everything was all right. "Is Kagome going to die?" he asked frightened. "Of course she's not going to die, she's just lost, don't worry, I bet when you wake up tomorrow she'll be waiting for you to hurry up so she can take you to school." She tucked him softly into bed and kissed his cheek. "Now, nightey-night." She shut off the light and closed the door. With in seconds you could hear his soft snore.
'Please, let her be all right. We've gone through too much all ready. Please don't tear us apart, we need her.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Run! Kagome ran until her breathe came fast and hard, her legs burned and an uproot grabbed her foot. She fell hard, knocking the wind out of her. She lay on the ground trying to breathe when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She was flipped over on her back, which did nothing to help her breathe come back it only delayed the process.
"You have no reason to fear me." The girl said softly. "I have no intention of harming you." Kagome heard her words, warm words spoken in a cold voice. Cold, with no emotion. Kagome felt nervous, she backed up...further...stopping only when she pressed against something...or someone.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of Ryuki." Exclaimed a voice, directly behind her, full of sarcasm and pain. But there was a deeper sounding hunger to his vocals. A hunger for the rich, copper taste of blood, human blood, full of innocence, weakness, emotion, mortality, and its rich nutrients called to his tongue. His stomach churned, expectant for their feeding, the hunger he relished, hated, feared. Hunger was pain, hunger was danger, and he thrived on pain and danger.
His throat dry, lips cracked, tongue swollen, he felt empty, lonely. He felt betrayed, by the only one he loved, could love. But, it's better to have loved and lost, then to never have loved at all. At least that's what they say.
"Her strength is no match for yours, Kikyo." He pronounced the name Kikyo with hatred. "Who is Kikyo?" she asked. "Kikyo; Queen of Vampires, ruler of Vampirels and even the strongest Vampirens, deep beauty, lurking shadows, immortal danger, unthinkable strength. Any of this ring a bell?" Ryuki was truly confused. 'What is this strange test?'
"Stop pretending, run her through, just like you did to me." He shouted. "But...I'm Kagome..."
