Chapter 21

"It's going to be ok..." You whisper and fall into the darkness of unconsciousness.

Later

You blink and blink some more until the all blurriness is gone. Above you see the ceiling of a cave and a few sleeping bats hanging on. It feels like you're laying on hay and you see what's lighting up the cave is small torches with fire in them hanging on the walls. You remember what happened today and sit up. You see that your side and shoulder are bandaged and you're not wearing your yukata anymore just the __ (color) tank top you had underneath.

"Inuyasha!! Inuyasha!!" You yell standing looking around the furnished cave. A small table sitting in the corner with hay for cushions and a beat- up black rug laying in the middle of the floor and a dark tunnel in front of you.

"So you're finally up?" A voice says behind you.

You turn to see a man with long black hair in a ponytail behind him and not exactly a man because he has big purplish black wings. He has pale skin with forest green emerald eyes and wearing a navy blue yukata and a black hakama. Also, two swords connected to his hakama. He starts to walk closer to you.

"Who are you?! And where's Inuyasha?!" You yell backing up. He stops and stares at you a bit.

"Inu...What? Oh you mean that dog hanyou that was with you he's resting in the front..." He replies and you 'sigh' in relief.

"But, who are you?!" The bat demon looks at you strangely and scratches the back of his head.

"Don't play around like that, Midoriko, you know who I am! It hasn't been that long has it?" He says and starts to count on his clawed hand.

"Who's Midoriko?" You look around the room, but see no one else. "You must have me confused with someone, my name is ___."

"No, you're Midoriko... you must have amnesia or something..." He walks right up to you and starts to sniff you. You continue to back away while he continues to advance you.

"Can you stop that!!" He suddenly stops and starts to pace in circles. You trip on a pile of hay and fall on your butt; he doesn't seem to notice though.

"She has the exact same scent... But slightly different though." He mutters still pacing. "Maybe!" He pulls out a shard that glistened from inside his yukata. "This is why!" He stops pacing and looks at you and starts to grin at you.

"Um, if you don't mind I would like to go find Inuyasha..." You say inching away.

"But before you go, ___, would you like to hear the story of who you really are?" You blink.

"...Well that sounds really appealing and all, but-"He cuts you off.

"Don't worry about your dog boy, he should be fine without you for a while and besides he needs his rest."

"I guess then..." You say and he leads you to the small table in the corner. He sits and you sit across from him. He pulls out an orange jug from under the table and pours himself some into a mug.

"Would you like some?" He asks.

"What is it?" You ask back.

"Sake..." You feel your parched throat and stare at the jug. {Sake- Rice wine/the old time alcohol they drunk in Japan before beer came, I think}

"Sure!" You reply besides what harm could that bring you'll only drink a little. He pours you a mug and gives it to you and you take a sip. "Um, thanks, but who are you?"

"Ah! You took alcohol from me and you don't even know my name!" He says and your cheeks tint red. "My names Shingata." He extends a hand out over the table and you extend yours, too. Instead of shaking like you guessed he kisses it. "Nice ta' meet ya! ___!!" He says grinning.

"Yeah, nice to meet you, too." You say with a sweat drop and a small smile withdrawing your hand.

"OK, so where do we start? Hmm, how about, um, I got it! 'ahem' Midoriko was a very power miko {priestess} she fought demons, purifying they're souls to destroy them saving many villages. Some time ago, in a more dangerous time, Midoriko had her final battle that lasted seven days and nights. A demon army had got the best of her, but in the end she saved the people by extracting the souls of the demons and sealing them into her own heart which was ejected out of her body. From that became the Shikon no Tama, her soul and the souls of the unpurified demons still battle on inside the jewel." He says finishing.

"Shikon no Tama..." You mutter. "You mean this?" You mutter and pull out the jewel stuck around your neck. He eyes it for a while and nods. "But if you don't mind me asking, what does that have to do with me?" You ask laying the Shikon no Tama back inside your shirt.

"Right! Well, I have a theory about this." His says and you roll your eyes. "Ever since I found this" he holds up a shikon shard. "I knew the Shikon jewel had to be broken and that would mean the seal keeping Midorikos' soul inside should also be broken therefore her soul could have been reborn with a new body and personality and that could be you because you remind me of her..." He says taking long of sake.

"...Oh, are you sure she could be me?" You say quietly taking another sip of sake.

"Well, it is just a theory! There is a chance that it might not be true! Did you believe it?!"

"...Well it sounded a bit convincing, but not really..." You say with a small smile and he sweat drops.

"What! That was down right believable!! You're just jealous you can't think of your own theory!" He says and you laugh.

"Right, right sure I'm jealous..." You take another sip of sake. "How do you know Midoriko-san?"

"How do we know each other? Well, um..." He scratches the back of his head. "I'd say we knew each other since I was six and she was seven years old. I was an orphan wandering around at the time and I wandered to her village looking for food. The village ningens tried to kick me out because they thought I would bring "trouble" to their village. So, I left the village and that night I was attacked by a demon and she saved me. We were good friends ever since."

Flashback...

Picture a little Shingata running in the middle of the night and crying and screaming with all of his might. {That reminds me of Shippou!} A regular size bear demon chasing after him. Then a little girl with short, black hair pops up and pulls back a tree branch in the direction the bear demon is running and when the bear demon is close enough she lets it go and the bear demon gets belted by it. She then starts to run away dragging the little Shingata along.

"Aren't you one of the ningens from the village!!? Why are you helping me?!"

"We don't all think alike!! I think it was wrong what they did to you!!" They soon get to a river and stop catching they're breath. "By the way my name's Midoriko! What's yours?" She asks smiling.

"It's Shingata, or for short Shin." He replies.

"Alright Shin! Nice ta' meet ya!" She says holding out her hand to shake.

End Flashback.... {By the way, your hair does NOT have to be black because Midorikos' is!}

"That sounds like she was really nice..." You say and take another sip of sake.

Banzai!!! From all the searching I did I'm sure the story of Midoriko was quite accurate! And the theory Shin has belongs to me... Alright, be honest who was surprised that the reader would be a reincarnation! I think I made a mistake putting it in the title even though it's almost at the end of the story though...

R&R

Ja!
