A/N: *sighs* I just got back from my trip to Molokai
with my class. I LOVE MY OWN BED!
And it's very inviting right now…
Okay, now I've changed my mind on how dialogue will work:
Text basically a change in emotion and volume of how the word or phrase is pronounced.
Text Thinking. Telepathy. Not too hard right?
I will no longer use the whole [] telepathy. My narrative will help with understanding.
Review Thanks! ^_^
Lifeless-Kanna: Grrr… I know, I wish I could more often. Grrrr.
Hiei's Goth Girlfriend Forever: You get called Kag at school? People say I look like Sango. Interesting. Haha. I look like an anime character? How does that happen? I totally agree! Hiei rules! *sighs* Oooh thanks. So nice! ^.^
Rushyuo: Hee hee. I know. Actually, I hate Kikyou, and yet I hate when Kikyou is made to be a bitch. And yet I think she's a bitch! Does that make sense? Well, I understand that she's not really mean like that, but Kagome has part of her soul, so she isn't really herself. But there was one episode when they worked together, and actually formed what seemed like a temporary friendship. Besides, she lays off later, which leads me to believe that she isn't such a bad person. Jealousy can to many things to people and I'm sure everyone knows it.
LadtWaterDragon: I stopped there for one reason: I wanted sleep and yet my friend said she would kill me if I didn't get the chapter out that night. I like to sleep. This chapter is a little short, but I promise it will be better and longer on the next chapter. Which I hope will be out faster.
kairinu: Yep, sorry, but my trip kind of put a slight hiatus on my writing. Luckily, I had my handy dandy NOTEBOOK! Yes, I'm babysitting for my little cousins and they're currently watching Blues Clues. All I know is that there's some cute dog and a guy who I think is seriously gay. But that means… uh… HAPPY!
lulu: I might do a VERY strange pairing, just because I feel like it and because I think it will be hilarious and VERY different. Get this… Sango… and… drum roll please…
………………………..
*cough*INUYASHA!*cough*
Not sure, but that's kind of what I'm leaning toward. I think it would be funny.
Robin-Chan-The-Miko: Trust me, after you spend five days and four nights with your classmates… well, emotions fly and you get VERY pissed off at people. So pretty much, we've already killed each other, so apparently your too late. Sorry, I would like to hurt myself too for my stupidity.
Elen List Alda: Yes, I'll do my best at updating. But things are very hectic right now. Sorry. But I have Spring Break right now and all I have to do is stay at home with my computer. Ohh… the torture. How will I go on? Haha. Anyway, thanks. ^.^
Teenager 14: Yeah, I pretty much only used the title. And falling in love with someone of a completely different race who is your enemy, but that follows the other book, The Shattered Mirror more doesn't it? You're talking about the one by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes right? If not, I'm pretty much babbling and you're sitting there like "WTF is this idiot talking about?" LoL. I love her books. Can you believe she wrote In the Forests of the Night when she was only 13 and it was published at 14? That's truly amazing, I think. And the book is better than a lot I've read by adults who think they're so great when the book SUCKS!
Babykitsune: *sighs* You're clueless aren't you? (Note: I know this girl, she's my friend so I'm not just being mean to some random person. This is how we always tlak! ^.^) nah, just joking! It took my little mind to figure it out too. Ok, for anyone who doesn't know how to make bold and italic and that stuff to show up, then I use MS Word. But I save it as a Web Page. I'm sure there are many other ways to do it, but that's how I did it.
Midnight-Blue-Wolves: OOOH! I love your story. I think it was called A Rose's Heart? But I love it! I mean, I love anything Sango and Hiei. Sure I like Hiei and Kag, but Sango and Hiei is my favorite pairing! (And yet I'm writing a Kag/Hiei *sighs* I'm an idiot) Anyway, I love it. I just wanted to tell you! Haha. *cries* I can't believe you read my story! I can now die happily. Yes, I'm a pathetic freak. THANK YOU!
Star: Thank you. All you people are soooooo kind! *sniff*
FrbddnAngel: Ditto. Thanks. *sniffs again* I should get tissues before I read all of your reviews.
Last time, on Demon in My View…
Kagome and Hiei have special orders, to kill the other at any costs. We left off at Kagome sensing the presence of a powerful demon… what will happen next? DUN DUN DUUUN!
"No! Ogre! Do something! Get a team to help her! Call the Spirit Detectives! The psychiatrist! GET MY MILK!"
"Koenma sir, please!" The blue ogre cried, avoiding the flying objects.
To any naïve being, this scene would seem like a normal tantrum thrown by yet another toddler. However, anyone with a brain would recognize royalty.
True royalty and a high level of complete importance.
The object of maturity and grace.
"George! You talk too much!" The "Mighty Lord Koenma" stated, before rambling off about the world, demons, and how he needed a nap.
"Koenma, sir…" The blue ogre sighed, watching as the toddler proceeded to kick all his paperwork off the desk in another tantrum. He turned his attention away from his great ruler, and watched the giant screen in front of them. "I hope she'll be alright."
[.:.Chapter Three: The First Fight.:.]
"He's on the roof!" Kagome yelled behind her shoulder. The response she received was the rushed footsteps behind her.
It's not even trying to cover its aura. She thought to herself upon the realization. Still, she felt its power, she knew it was strong enough to hide its presence. He was trying to get her attention.
Come miko. Kagome stopped abruptly halfway up the roof ward stairway.
The stop was utterly uncalled for and Miroku struggled not to knock his friend over.
"What is it Kagome-chan?" Sango asked quickly, clutching the rail.
She didn't answer, she was concentrating on the voice. The intrusion was familiar, too familiar.
Of course, she had felt it just the night before.
How had she
forgotten?
It was the same demon.
She shook away her thoughts. What was she thinking? Why did fear creep into her veins?
Still, she could feel the demon's overpowering energy. The force of its powerful aura clashed into her own.
How had he gound his way into her mind once again? Were here mind shields really getting this weak?
She knew that it was most likely a trap. Still, she didn't have a choice. Besides, she had thwarted many demon's plans, why should this be any different.
She threw open the roof door, and glided outside.
Met by the blinding rays of sun, she winced.
When her eyes, though slightly watery, finally grew accustomed to the sun, a figure was standing in front of her.
He didn't seem like the other demons.
Big.
Ugly.
Sure, she couldn't see his features, but it wasn't as if what she could see was ugly, nor big… not big at all. He seemed short for a man, yet taller than herself.
His aura was unlike any other demon she had ever met. Searching through it, she found bloodlust, rage, and malice. What the hell are you doing? His voice pierced her thoughts, she fought to keep concentration. She continued to search the eerie abyss of his aura.
Of his heart.
There was something else that just wasn't like the others. Something that just wasn't the same.
Something different.
Was it…
… sorrow?
Hn. She heard in her mind. Worthless human emotion. Figures, he knew what she was thinking didn't he?
Kagome frowned at him. And what is anger might I ask? She thought back.
Hn.
This was just great. Now she was conversing with it. She could tell by his aura that she couldn't simply send the demon to Makai.
She would have to destroy it. Killing demons was not something she liked to do if there were any options such as peace. Yet it was necessary.
Using her spiritual energy, she held her hands in front of her chest. She couldn't waste any more time. A demon like this one would be a great danger.
But sorrow. He's lonely. Saddened. Scared. Fully aware that he could hear this, she ignored her thoughts. It seemed as if he were doing the same.
A burst of power emitted from between her hands as she shot it at the demon with one thought of her mind.
This had come naturally as a miko. She could fire a blast powerful enough to destroy a city with a single trigger of command in her mind. This one wasn't powerful enough to bring the demise of Tokyo, but should be enough to kill the troublesome demon.
The surge crackled toward the demon. The blast was so quick, no one, demon nor human, would be able to have a prayer of dodging the attack.
Hn. Don't underestimate me. Baka Onna.
She frowned at the words. But before her very eyes, the energy was gone. Frantically looking around for the demon, she tried to calm herself.
Her shot was gone, as if nothing had ever been there in the first place.
No demon had ever thwarted that power before. Her spiritual energy was immensely potent and utterly precise. Was she weakening this much?
She glared at the demon once her eyes found him. His features were curled into an amused smirk.
Stupid human.
Kagome felt her emotions spark. Quickly, she tried to calm the jewel, making the demon chuckle slightly.
"It's obvious that you don't have the power for the jewel, ningen." He didn't bother using the mind link this time, a signal that he felt no threat from the girl.
He began to step closer to her. "Just give it to me, and the burden will be gone." He demanded quietly, his voice a mix of a growl and a whisper.
She stood her ground. "It's not a burden." She informed him. But who was she trying to convince?
The demon, or herself?
Saying the jewel was a burden, if she hadn't lied in other words, she would be making a complete understatement anyway.
The jewl wasn't a burden, so in a way, she hadn't lied. It was so much more than that. A killer, a death omen, the jewel was hell. All because of the damned jewel, she could never lead a normal life again. Because of the damned jewel, she lived in fear for her family, yet had to protect people she did not know. Because of the damned jewel, she would never see her friends again.
Because of the damned jewel, she had no life, no past, no future. All she could hope for was the present, and the best, and most of all, for a quick, painless death.
Damned human. I can hear your thoughts anyway. Just give me the jewel. His voice split through her mind.
Kagome thought quick desite the mind intrustion.
She pulled out one of the ribbons which tied back a few strands of her long, ebony hair.
Muttering a quick spell, she jumped back as he lunged for her.
When the girl landed, she was holding a shimmering katana, the sun's reflection on the blade casting the rays to play on her figure.
The demon's amusement curled onto his features, eyeing the sword.
He sighed. I warned you.
With that, he drew his own sword from his sheath. They stood on the rooftop, staring the other down. Both engaged in a glare fight.
Hiei was a bit surprised that she didn't look away from his intense gaze.
He charged with incredible speed. Let's see if you're better with a sword than you are with your pathetic energy.
Kagome growled, glad nevertheless that next to her archery, her sword was her most powerful weapon.
The fight was fast paced. So quick, that no human eyes would be able to keep up with the movements.
Each thrust was made with enough force to pierce the other easily.
Almost sensing the other's movements, the fight went on.
The air was full of the sound of metal chiming to metal as the blades clashed together.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Like dancers, the fight was graceful and deep, it couldn't have been better matched, and this, was what worried the demon.
Finally, they're blades clashed once more, each leaning on the other's blade for more support.
With a final push, both pushed back after a brief moment, landing softly away from each other.
Panting, she brought her hand to her cheek where blood was starting to flow down from.
Hiei stared at the miko. He gazed with disbelief at her.
A girl had fended him away.
A human girl no less.
All that power, the unbelievable speed, the power, everything all of that and all he had been able to inflict on her was a single scratch.
It was then that he felt a sting on his stomache. He looked down in shock.
There was a part on his black clothing, it was slowly turning darker.
Blood.
She. Had. Cut. Him?
The young koorime was about to launch another attack when a scream rang throughout his mind.
His eyes widened, "Yukina!" He yelled carelessly.
With that, he was gone, for once not caring now wcowardly it would seem.
If the one thing that he had ever cared abou was in troucle, Hiei would gice his life and much more.
Half sister or full, he loved her. He would never admit to such a human emotion, but even he couldn't hide the truth from himself.
So he left, he had to save her from whatever danger.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Yukina!" The demon yelled, midway from her. He seemed to hover in the air for a moment before he was gone in a blur.
Kagome was taken by surprise. There she was, standing on her school's roof, holding a sword in a defensive position.
She sighed.
"That was strange." Half of her expected the demon to appear once more and strike but the other half told it not to be dumb. She felt the aura moving farther away.
She flicked her sword, disappointed that there was no blood to flick off.
She retracted energy from the blade and with one last shimmer, it returned to a single, long magenta ribbon.
She tied the ribbon around the from few strands of her hair, pulling them to the side of her head, above her ear.
"Kagome-chan! You okay?" She spun around to see Sango and Miroku emerging from the roof door. Come to think of it, she had forgotten that they had been behind her.
"The demon must have placed a barrier." Miroku mused, frowning at the door in a thoughtful gaze.
The demon only wanted the jewel. This could be bad.
This could get very, very bad.
A/N: Sorry so short. Grrr. I just got back from my class trip and I'm exhausted. I can't write fight scenes. *sighs*
