By The Light Of The Moon
Chapter9: This Is Where I Belong
*************************************************************
'This is where I belong.' Kagome thought as she walked through the Red Forest. The moon was back to its normal stage, pure white. The blood was starting to fade, or Kagome was getting used to it. This was a whole new world to her, everything was different, she didn't have any school, no woman wore make-up. Villagers worked all day in the fields while the women stayed at home cooking and sewing and tending to the gardens.
Kagome had gone back in time, and had to stay. She could always turn around and go back to the world that she knew, and was familiar to, but it had rejected her. She wouldn't fit in, she would have to hide, and run. Constantly living in fear.
'I must belong.' She thought with certainty. The stars led her deeper in the forest as she kept her eyes locked on the burning orbs of gas. Everyone always said she had her head stuck in the clouds because she walked looking at the clouds or the moon, and sometimes the stars.
Kagome longed to go home, she would always miss her family, but the best thing she could do for them, would be to stay her. Be away from them. That is the only way she can be close to her family. She loved them too much, she feared for them. She feared herself for them. *************************************************************
~There she is.~
~That's her?~
~Yes, wait for it.~
~What are we supposed to be waiting for?~
~The distraction you idiot!~
~Hey! It's your fault for not going through it.~
~Shh! We're running out of telepathic power, pretty soon we wont be able to communicate.~
~What is the distraction?~
~Watch the kid.~
Two figures moved silently through the forest. None would be able to see them, even if they were looking for them. They were the Watchers. Hired assassins, spies, trackers, or anything that didn't involve head to head combat. They were cowardly, they slunk around attacking from behind, using the element of surprise. *************************************************************
Kagome was still dwelling on her thoughts when she came across a little girl. The girls was tied to a tree, whimpering and huge tears rolled down her cheek's.
"Oh my!" Kagome gasped.
The girl looked startled and shook her head. She was too afraid.
"Do you need help?" Kagome asked reaching out to help.
"No." The little girl pushed her away.
"Please?" Kagome asked reaching out again.
"No...just go!" The little girl shouted. *************************************************************
~She's ruining it!~
~Just wait, she's almost in position.~
~That brat! I'll kill her!~
~Later you may kill her, she was only a distraction.~
~Is that the only reason you breed? To use the children as decoys?~
~They are just children, worthless.~
~You are as cold blooded as I!~
~Yes, we are the same, twins~ *************************************************************
The girl could see the figures, she was trained to, and she could see her father smile at her. Her father had tricked her, he had thought she couldn't use telepathy, he was wrong. She knew what they planned to do, she knew he really didn't love her, it was all lies, lies to get her to help him. And then he would kill her without a second thought.
"No." She said and shook her head.
"Not this time daddy." She smirked and grabbed Kagome's hand, cutting the ropes with a knife her father had given her. She and Kagome ran, ran and ran and ran. *************************************************************
"Damn!" One of the figures cursed.
"I was wrong." The other said and shook his head, letting the hood fall back.
"I'm going to kill her!" The other threatened, also letting his hood fall as well.
Both had long white hair, back in a pony-tail, black eyes and small lips. The one on the right had a small scar under his right eye. The one on the left had the same scar under his left eye. They had both gotten them at the same time, one long swipe, under the eye. They grinned at each other showing pointed teeth.
"This should be fun!" The one on the right said.
"Yeah, more of a challenge!" The other agreed. *************************************************************
"Wait! Stop!" Kagome shouted and pulled at the girl's hand.
"No! We don't have time, they will hunt us down and kill us both!" The girl objected.
"What?" Kagome asked, completely mystified.
"We must find my mother, she will help. I know where we can find her." The girl said and pulled Kagome after her and started running again.
Kagome gave in and let herself be pulled along.
"How...much...further do we...have...to go?" Kagome gasped out. She could tell the girl was getting tired, so she picked her up in her arms and continued in the same direction the girl was headed.
"Just keep going, you'll see." The girl said and relaxed.
*************************************************************
"There!" The girl shouted and pointed to a small house.
"Is that where your mother lives?" Kagome asked.
"Yup!" The little girl nodded excitedly, her mother only knew her from when she was born, and then her father had stolen her.
"Mommy." The girl yelled as she ran toward the small hut. *************************************************************
Oi...I'm cruel. A cliffy!!! But it's partly cause of writer's block, and I need to start writing on my other story. Writing two stories at the same time is kinda confusing. So pretty please review, it's common courtesy. But I accept flames if you don't wanna be nice.
