Kisu ofy fu Tenshi - Kiss of the Angel
Chapter 4 - Encountering Evil
*************************************************
The next morning Kagome was packing up her things, yawning, as she stretched her hands high above her head. For some reason all her joint were stiff and ache, as she tried to loosen them up.
"Lady Kagome did you get enough sleep last night?" Miroku asked, from teho ther side of the fire. Kagome laughed, rubbing the back of her neck uneasily.
"Yes, I did Lord Miroku. I'm fine I just haven't woken up yet..."
Kagome didn't feel like explaining the night before. After she had spotted Inu yasha and Kouga looking at her, and asked what it was, she had gone straight to bed, hiding under the covers from the two blushing youkai. To much to explain, and she was too tired.
"I see.." He said, nodding his head in agreement.
Kagome finished rolling up her sleeping bag, before shoving it in her backpack. (AN: is tat even possible?!?!)
All of them had already eaten their breakfast meals, and Kagome had changed out of her pajamas, in to a more comfortable set. She had been wearing her sailor uniform for a few days now, and it was utterly filthy. She was now wearing a white tank top, covered by a loose black knitted sweater. Instead of her green school skirt, she was wearing a short blue skirt, that was longer than her then her uniform went by a few inches, and it even had pockets on the sides. On her feet she wore flat white sneakers, and black socks.
She found her barettes and put on on each side of her head, to pull the hair back from her eyes, so it wouldn't be blowing in her face all day. This outfit was better for traveling, and it looked better too.
She hefted her bag on her shoulder, taking Shippou in her arms, anf filed in after Inu yasha and Miroku, as they began walking in the direction of the village. Sango was standing on her right, and Kouga had crept up to her left. She heard Inu yasha's disdainful snort. She ignored them.
"So we are deffinately heading back to the village?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded.
"Yes. To go visit Keade, and my family for a few days.. I haven't been home in almost a week.." She said drifting off in to thought. It would be a week tomorrow morning, and in a month, Kagome realized, for a full year now.. the whole group had been together, and that means... she'd missed more school days then she felt like counting. She sighed. Oh well. I know I need my education and all... but I think saving the world is a little bit more important. She thought wryly.
"Kagome?"
"Yes Shippou?"
"Do you have any chocolate?"
"But didn't you just eat breakfast..?"
"Yes, but....."
"I see. Your addicted to it.." She said smiling. The kit looked at her confused not knowing what the word meant, she just shook her head, setting him down, so she could open her bag. She stuck her hand inside, and dug until her fingers grazed foil in the hidden pocket. She grinned pulling out two bars. She shoved one in the back of her pocket for later, and unwrapped the second one. She broke off a large peice for Shippou who yipped in delight, as he grabbed it from her with a "Thank you!" as he began chewing on it.
Kagome looked out of the corner of her eye, and saw Kouga staring at the fox, wondering what could possibly taste so good.
"Do you want some?" She asked breaking off another chunk, and holding it out for him to take.
He took it cautiously, doing the same to bite in to it. She saw his eyes literally light up when he tasted the flavor.
"Kagome what is this!?" He asked. Kagome saw Sango cover her mouth to hide the grin that broke loose on her face.
"It's called Chocolate. It's very, very good." She said, then looked to dog youkai.
"Do you want any Inu yasha?"
He snorted.
She took that a a no.
She broke the remainder of it in to three peices. Enough for her, Sango, and Miroku. She bit in to the dark chocolate, thinking, the fuedal era has its good qualities, but her time deffinately had its perks.
Suddenly Inu yasha stopped, and she almost bumped in to him.
"What is it?" She asked watching his ears swivel, as he sniffed the air.
He growled.
"Naraku.."
"He's nearby?"
"Yes."
"I don't--" She began, meant to say she couldn't feel any powerful auroras nearby except there own.
"Kagome lets go now!" He barked. She climbed hesiantly on to his back, Shippou grasping Inu yasha's other shoulder as he took to the air.
Sango and Miroku followed behind on Kirara, as Kouga started off, dirt flying behind him, as he darted off with a whirlwind. She clutched his shoulder, leaning down closer to his ear, so she could talk to him easier.
"Inu yasha, this is probably a trap..." She said.
"I know that, but I smell him, so he has got to be nearby!"
"But--"
"Look if he's nearby, that means it can't be that dangerous!!" He yelled over the wind. She knew he wouldn't stop, so she'd just have to bare through this.
A few minutes later they came out in to a large plain, barren of grass, only hard earth. In the center of all this was a man wearing a baboon pelt.
"Ku, ku, ku... so Inu yasha.. you came..."
"Naraku you bastard! It's time for you to die!" He yelled, after Kagome had clamboured off him. Grabbing her bow and arows, she poised one at Naraku. Inu yasha drew Tetsuaiga. Miroku was holding on to his prayer beads ready to unleash his wind tunnel. Sango was mounted on a transformed Kirara, in full battle gear, holding her boomerang bone in hand ready to toss anytime. While at the very end, Kouga stood in a fighting stance, snarling.
Inu yasha's, no longer able to hold back, spotted the wind scar.
"Kaze no kizu!!!" He yelled. The flashes of energy he realeased, tearing Naraku apart. Its head continued laughing as it fell in to a pile of dirt.
"A golem." Miroku spat out in disgust.
Suddenly they all realized the danger they were in. If he wasn't here, that meant whatever he had in store for them, was meant to destroy everything and leave no survivors.
A low rumbling began under their feet.
"W-what's going on?!" Kagome whispered.
Where Naraku's golem had stood, a yellow light erupted from the ground, shooting straight up in to the sky, the light grew, creating a giant orb of power filled with unspent power. Everything stopped for a moment, even the wind seemed to stop, before chaos broke loose.
It erupted, fire hurtling in every direction. It flew towards them, insuring their deaths.
Kagome let the tears streak down her cheeks. She couldn't die like this! She couldn't let her friends die like this! Not by the hands of Naraku!! Not by anyone!!
Her eyes which had been clenched shut, burst open, filled with unshead tears and fury, as she yelled as far as her voice could take her.
"WE WON'T DIE LIKE THIS NARAKU!!!!!!!!"
A swiriling dash of silver and blue erupted from her body, surrounding her and her companions as the blast hit them.
It forced them back, but her energy protecting them from the fires, but the blast was so strong, it lifted them off their feets and tossed them like rag dolls in to nearby trees, each hitting with loud cracks.
Kagome was the last to fly because her aurora was the powerfullest. Debris cut at her face and body. As her hair whipped around her like a flag in a storm's winds.
She finally felt her feet lift off, as she went hurtling backwards. She thought dazedly, why she hadn't hit any trees, but realized because the blast had already taken most of them out already. She descended, he shoulder hitting the ground first. It cracked, as the contact sent her doing a spin in the air, before she fell on her side, skidding a good ten feet in force. She clutched her shoulder in pain. She fainted. Only for a minute or two, just to regain some of the strength she had just spent, before he eyes opened again. First thing she had to do..
"Ou!..unnnn." She moaned, grinding her teeth in pain, as she cracked her shoulder back in place. She took quick short gasps, as she regained her thoughts slowly. She hadn't known what had come over her besides a sudden urge to save her friends, and the power had erupted as soon as the thoughts crossed her mind.
She tried to stand, but toppled over as a pain rushed through her ankle. She must have twisted it during the explosion. She took her sleeve and ripped a long strip from it.
She tied it around her ankle as a makeshift bandage. Taking a quick glance around her, she closed her eyes, using her miko abilities to see if she could feel any other auroras nearby. She only could detect one, and it was very faint.
Kagome climbed to her hands and knees, before lifting herself up, trying to ignore the pain. She had no time to look at the extent of her wounds, she had to help whoever it was. She'd have to think about her own problems later!
She stumbled along a good ten minutes before her senses drew her to a dim aurora underneath a falled branch. She pulled it off to reveal a battered Shippou wincing in pain.
"Shippou-chan!! Your alive!!" She cried. His eyes cracked open, and saw her face, slightly blurred by his tears.
"M..mama?" He whispered. Kagome's own tears rose to her eyes, threatening to spill.
"Yes Shippou." She picked him up carefully, so not to upset any broken bones he might have. He had blacked out again, so she cradled him to her chest, as she started walking away, to find a village where she could recieve help.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Preistess Kano sat in her hut in meditation, when suddenly her eyes snapped open.
"What is it?!" Her little brother, sitting in the room piped.
"Something with a powerful chi is coming.." She whispered. She stood, grabbing her sword, she left the hut, her red leggings flapping around her legs. Her long brown hair was tied in two buns atop her head. Red ribbons tied around them. A strand fell on each side of her cheeks, framing her face. Her bangs were whipping from her face, in her rush to do battle with whatever it was, as they revealed sparkling green eyes.
"Lady Kano what is it?" A village woman asked.
She frowned watching the forest, not answering her question.
A figure stumbled out of the green canopy. Kano gasped. A woman.. no girl, was bruised and bloodied over her entire being. She was limping, and in her arms carried a small child.
She slowly reached the town, not stopping until she wsa standing before the miko. She looked at her with pain dulled blue eyes.
"Please.. we... need... help..." Kagome started, but couldn't continue. Her face flamed up in pain, before it relaxed, as she collapsed from blood loss and exhaustion. Although the child remained protectively in her grasp.
"The poor girl!" A woman exclaimed.
"What should we do Lady Kano?" An old man asked
"Take her to my hut. She needs medical care as soon as possible. Take the child with her." She stated reagally, before she motioned for three men to take her there. They nodded, picking Kagome up and started away.
Kano looked closer and saw that the child was not human.. But a kitsune. She felt a pang of suspicion for a moment that the girl was a kitsune also, the mother, playing a trick on them, but she put the thought away for later, when she realized she couldn't distinguish anything from the girl's face since it was too coated with dried blood and dirt. She sighed. She'd be up all night cleaning and bandaging the two.
She straightened her back, as she walked with a proud overbearing to her home thinking.
'It was her duty! As a miko!!'
