A/N: Well I hope you people are happy that I'm busting my butt off to
satisfy your needs. Well let's cut to the chase and get to the most
dramatic chapter (so far) of 'A Miko's Memories'
"Speaking" 'Thinking' -----------: change of scene
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Short, sweet and the truth.
************************************************************** *Last Time* "Inuyasha," Miroku began, "I believe this will be a mirror story of your and Kikyo-sama's. I can only assume the worst for this tale." Inuyasha nodded and leaned against a tree.
"Kagome," he whispered, before drifting into a dreamless sleep.
**************************************************************
Kagome woke to the chirping of the birds and Ryu not at her side. "What a beautiful day," she cried out.
"A perfect day to get a new aniki, right 'Nee-chan," Souta said brightly.
"That's right Souta. I'll see you later. I've got to get the jewel and take it to Ryu. You can take care of breakfast right," she said running out the door. Souta never had a chance to answer thought, because she was long gone.
Kagome ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Today was the day she and her Ryu could be together with him feeling shameful. She came to a small hut deep in the heart of the forest, "I'm here." Kagome walked into the hut slowly and came to the alter. Sitting undisturbed was the Shikon no Tama. Kagome sat in front of the jewel and said the releasal pray;
"Shikon no Tama allow me to use your power so it may never be misused I, your keeper, ask you to release you barrier And allow me your use"
There was a blinding light within the small hut and the invisible barrier broke and allowed her to pick the jewel up. She studied for a second; it was connect to a small silver chain.
She looked out side, "I want to be early, so I can surprise Ryu." She ran to the tree where they had met and sat at the base. She closed her eyes and waited for her beloved. ------ Inuyasha had followed Kagome while she went to get the jewel and had asked Miroku to follow Ryu. Suddenly the air took on the smell of cherry blossoms.
"It's time." -------
"Kagome," said the voice Kagome loved so much.
"Ryu, you've come so early. I wasn't expecting you till a few hours from now."
"I'd like the jewel now." He said, eyes power hungry and cold. Kagome noticed this right away.
"Ryu what's wrong, you don't seem yourself at the moment."
He smiled maliciously, "Don't you see you foolish women, I'm more myself than I've ever been. I've been toying with you ever since the day we met. You were a fool to fall in love with me, now you pay the price!" He began to laugh a horrible, evil laugh. It chilled Kagome's heart, and made her feel like crying, 'This can't be my loving Ryu. I just won't believe it!'
"Wench, you don't believe that I am truly Ryu. I know how your stupid okaa- san was killed. Kaguru killed her, and I can't say I blame him. Humans are so bothersome, I only put up with you to get the jewel. You never meant anything to me." Ryu raised his claws and stalked towards her.
"Now taste my claws you stupid women," Ryu slashed his claws into Kagome's arm. The same one that Kaguru had slashed years before. Blood seeped from the wound and soaked her white miko top.
"You are not my Ryu," she said through gritted teeth. She clutched her arm in pain.
"Now give me the jewel!"
"NEVER!!"
Ryu smirked, "Then I will take it by force." He raised his claws again and slashed her back. She cried out in pain again, tears of confusion and pain streaming down her sweaty face.
"You will never get the jewel as long as I live. I don't care if you impersonate my love and try to turn me against him. I will never give up!"
"If that is the case then I will be forced to kill you. DIE!" he screamed. Kagome held her uninjured hand up and let forth a ball of all the energy that she had left in her body.
"Gah," he said, stumbling back and clutching the area that she hit. The blast had caused the disguise to dissipate, revealing Kaguru.
"You vile demon," Kagome cried out.
Kaguru began to laugh, "If I can't get the jewel from you directly, I'll have your little boyfriend get it from you." He jumped into a tree and took off to find the real Ryu.
"Nooooo!!!" Kagome screamed. She got up slowly and ran to find her love. 'I promised not to let him hurt you. I will not break that promise!'
-----------
Miroku was told to follow Ryu while Inuyasha followed Kagome, and all he could say was boring. The hanyou had not moved from the tree since he had left Kagome-sama's hut.
"I suppose I should go to our tree," he heard Ryu say.
"It starts now."
----------- Ryu rose to go to the tree where he and Kagome had met 7 fateful months ago.
"Ryu," said a sweet voice from behind him.
He turned to see his love standing behind him, looking as innocent as ever.
"Kagome, what are you doing here love?" He ran to embrace her.
He was shocked when she held her hands out to stop him. "Ryu, please do not touch me."
"You had no problem with me touching you last night."
"Ryu, how silly you are," she said laughing slightly, "Thinking I could really love a half-breed like you. You're a fool. I am a miko, and as my job as a miko, I am obliged to kill all demon who come near my village." "But, Kagome." he was stopped by a cold glare sent his way.
"You should be quiet when a miko is speaking half-breed. I knew you would not die with a mere arrow to the heart alone. You would fight back but if you could not fight back then I could kill you with but one arrow," she pulled out an arrow, notched it, pulled back the string, and aimed, "One arrow to the hearts."
"Kagome, I love you. You said you loved me to. You really are going to betray me?" He hid his eyes beneath his bangs.
"Love is a fickle emotion. Only weaklings fall in love. Die Ryu!!" she cried letting the arrow fly.
"Ryu watch out," yell the real Kagome. She pushed him out of the way and was struck by the arrow. It pinned her to the tree, and all Ryu could do was watch is horror as the women was struck by the arrow.
"Kagome!" he bellowed as he ran to her. She blinked slowly and smiled. Ryu's eye drifted to the arrow protruding from her chest.
He grasped it gently, "Forgive me Kagome." Quickly he pushed it from her chest.
"Ah," she cried out in pain as she fell to the grass below. Her blood stained the grass and her eyes held relief.
"Oh Kagome, I sorry! I'm so sorry!" Ryu rocked her back and forth in his arms and cried into her hair.
"No Ryu, it's not your fault love. I-it's Kaguru's" She said smiling weakly and he lowed her to his lap.
"Kaguru destroyed our hopes my Ryu. Don't let him get the jewel," she strained to bring her hand up to his face. He overlaid it with his own, "I love you Ryu, and will for ever and for even longer than that. I can only wish that you be able to move on and live a happy life. Tell Souta that I loved him and take care of him."
"No Kagome, don't talks like that. You'll live damn it, you'll live do you hear me!?"
"Hush Ryu," she said putting a finger to his lips. "I will die I have lost too much blood. I know that, you know that. All I ask for is two things, the dying wishes of this miko."
"Anything Kagome! You name it I'll give it to you." "Burn the Shikon no Tama with me. I will take it to the death with me, never to cause misery again."
"As you wish Kagome," Ryu said tears spilling from his eyes, "What else? What else do you want my love?"
"O-one final kiss." Ryu lowered his head and placed a chastised kiss on her lips, taking in every detail of her taste. When he came up for air he saw Kagome smile a weak smile.
"I love you Ryu."
"I love you too Kagome. More than the moon and the stars and the heavens combined. I will never stop loving you. Not even death will halt my eternal love for you!"
He felt her life force slipping from her, "Don't leave me alone again. Don't leave me."
"You will never be alone. I..will..al.ways.be.the.re," she struggled out. Kagome gasped for air, and fell limp in his arms.
"NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ryu clutched her lifeless body to him tightly.
"Hahaha," chuckled Kagome's killer. The thing that had taken her form had reverted to its original state, Kaguru.
"You bastard," Ryu cried tears still falling from his face, "You bastard."
"What do you expect hmm? Did you expect me to watch as my ticket to being powerful fade away with your silly wish? I think not."
"Why did you have to kill her? WHY GOD DAMN IT WHY????!!!!!!!"
"I tried to taint her heart with malice, by making her think that you turned against her, but the little bitch saw right through my disguise. Then I thought, 'What if I got the real one to attack her?' Then her heart would fill with hate for you and she would taint the jewel with this hate, then I could steal the jewel, but she sacrificed herself. The little fool."
Ryu's growled a loud terrifying growl that even scared Kaguru, his eyes hid by his bangs. He brought his eyes out reveal they were not blood red, "You will pay." He charged. He slashed and slashed, with all the pain, all the anger he had in him. He wanted to kill, to kill until the pain was gone.
It was all Kaguru could do to defend himself, he knew if this kept up he would die. "Stop this, you can not win."
Ryu smiled a bone chilling smile, "That's my line." With that he shoved his claw through Kaguru's heart.
"Why you.." Kaguru tried to say, but he could not. His time on earth ran out. ---------- Inuyasha and Miroku watched in horror at the scene that just took place, a dead Kagome in one corner and an out of control demon in the other.
"Miroku, I can't take. I don't want to be here anymore. I can't," Inuyasha said. He was shaking and a tear had managed to fall from his face.
Miroku had not faired much worse. He was green and was also shaking, "Nor do I Inuyasha, but I feel that it was..."
"Cut the crap Miroku. We didn't need to see that and you know full well Kagome was much better off forgetting all this shit!"
"Inuyasha lets us at least finish what we started." Inuyasha nodded at turned his attention back to the horrific scene in front of him.
-----------
Ryu's eyes went back to there original amber color. He went over to Kagome, "Kagome, I have something to tell you."
He spoke to the wind around here, remembering what she said. "Mother was a miko, so I have some miko blood in me."
"I was going to tell you after I made my wish and ask you to train me." He shook his head and looked to the sky. "But there is something that I can do"
"Mother taught me how to perform one spell. She told me if I every found love, then I could use this spell to tie us together forever. I can still do it but it will take all of my energy, since I haven't had any training" I'll join you in death for now, we will be reincarnated together. Every time we are reincarnated we will find each other and fall in love, in different forms with different names, until 500 years from now. In 500 hundred years we will be reincarnated in these forms, with these names and all will be right again."
His ears twitched, and he kneeled before her and spoke once again, "Souta's coming. He'll find you here and call for help," he placed the jewel in her hands and clenched her fingers tightly around them, "Never let this go."
He began to chant;
'In my hearts So deep this woe Soothe the wound that is there May we meet again in time my love, Till I find you there'
Their bodies began to glow and Ryu said one more thing before collapsing to her side and grasped her hand tightly, "Everyone her is now fated to live as they were on this day, till the day we return to the village. I promise we will be happy once again." His breath became shallow and came in short bursts, until they no longer came. He died with a smile in his face.
Out from a bush came Souta, "'Nee-chan!!!!!! Aniki-chan!!!!!"
