From Miko to Hanoi
Disclaimer: I told you, I don't own Inuyasha so there.
*She turned around just in time to hear him yell
"Kagome"! Before two arrows pierced his heart and right shoulder. Kagome stared in horror at the quivering bow she held in her hand.
"Nooo"! She screamed as she was wrenched from her dream.*
*
"Kagome! Kagome wait! KAGOME"!
"Huh"? Oh uh what's up Lex? Kagome asked with fake cheer.
"Kag I've been calling you all weekend! What happened Saturday? One second your fine, then I hear people yelling that you had fainted. What's up, are you ok?
"Of course Lex, why wouldn't I be?" Kagome didn't remember fainting. She barely remembered anything other than her dream. Yes that's what it was, a dream she admitted it now, a dream. Kagome whished it wasn't a dream, simply because of how real it had felt.
Meanwhile poor Lex was following her best friend as kagome daydreamed.
"Oh Kag," Lex thought sadly.
"What's going on with you? And why don't you trust me anymore "? Lex was more than a little hurt that Kagome was keeping an obviously big secret from her. She was too busy watching out for Kagome that she didn't notice the car until it honked, by then it was too late.
*
(Kag's P.O.V)
"Kagome"!
"Inuyasha"? Thinking she heard Inu's voice, Kagome turned around, her eyes connected with her friends for the last time.
(End Kag's P.O.V)
*
"Oh I know lots of thing's Inuyasha, but how much of it I'm ganna tell you is another story". Rin was being evil and she knew it. In reality she needed to get Kagome back to, if Sesshomaru found out she had lost her.......She didn't even want to think about it.
"Hello? Earth to Rin"? Inuyasha didn't know what to think, he was worried yes but what he couldn't figure out why. It was unlike him to be worried over something that didn't directly benefit him. Maybe it was because she resembled Kikyo so much.
"Kikyo"! Inuyasha exclaimed out loud.
"No Inu-chan I'm Rin remember"?
"No Rin, Kagome looked a lot like Kikyo "! Inuyasha thought about the battle that had raged between him and Kikyo. It was the last thing he remembered. As an after thought he added.
"Where is Kikyo anyway"?
"Ummm," Rin bit her lip, she wasn't sure how Inu would take the news that Kikyo had only put him to sleep, where as he had killed her.
"Ummm what Rin? What happened"?
"Oh Inu-chan," Rin gushed
"I don't know how you'll take this"
"Rin! Tell me right now! Was Kikyo ok"?
"Inuyasha" Rin said slowly and carefully
"You killed her; she took the Shikon no Tama with her. That girl, Kagome, she is the reincarnation of you're past love"
*(end here? Nah I don't think I will ^.^)
The car had been trying to stop, but the driver had seen Lex a millisecond too late. Kagome watched as her best and only real true friend was torn away from her. Kagome didn't realize she was screaming till she placed her hand over her mouth and felt the vibration. Hysterically crying she ran to her friend and pulled Lex's battered, broken body on to her lap. The one thought that kept repeating itself was Lex's sadness that Kag was keeping something from her. After sometime she faintly heard someone telling her an ambulance was on the way.
"No" she replied in a dead voice.
"She's already gone"
"But"? The person went on too late as Kagome had placed Lex on the ground and positioned her hands over her heart. Then when Kagome stood she reached up and snapped the necklace Lex had given her off her neck, and placed it on Lex's hands.
"I'm sorry Lex; I didn't deserve to be your friend." Kagome turned to walk away.
"Miss!" Startled, Kagome turned to the stranger.
"If not for your friend then look at yourself! You're – you're covered in blood! How are you even standing"? Kagome stared darkly at the man left kneeling at her friends, no not her friend, Lex's side. She reached up and felt the back of her head. Then she looked at the blood slowly trickle down her arm.
"Oh" she said softly as (once again) she blacked out.
*
Bubble world, Kagome found her self in the space with all the bubbles.
"Damn bubbles" she grumbled under her breath. She stumbled, because of the gash in her head, towards the main bubble. She was stunned to find it empty.
"Looking for someone?"
"What the—"Kagome gasped as she turned around, she was met with the sight of the girl from before. Only this time she was awake and moving and... dressed.
"Are you ok"? The girl asked although concern was the last thing Kagome perceived from her voice.
"Umm yeah I-I'm fine......how did you—I-I mean where am.....ugg!" Kagome gave up with a sigh and gazed at the girl.
"Awww Kagome looks confused." After that remark Kagome was even more confused. It had finally hit her how weird everything that had been happening to her really was.
"How do you know my name"?
"*sigh* That's not all I know little girl, I also know your father left you with your mother when you were 2, your mother remarried and had a son name Sota, her husband died and now you your brother and your mother all live with your grand father. With her hands and smoke she created a apparition of Lex, the last way Kag saw her.
"And just recently you lost your best friend to death that was meant for you ". Kagome started crying. It was what she had expected all along, now that she had been told she remembered what really happened.
*flashback*
"Kagome" thinking she had heard Inuyasha's voice she turned around, her eyes connected with her best friends' foe the last time.
"Thank you Inuyasha "she thought. His voice had helped her see the car and say goodbye to her friend. She knew the car was coming and she accepted it. What didn't expect was Lex pushing her out of the way.
*end flashback*
"So," the girl's voice brought Kagome back. She was on her knees looking up at the girl through a sea of tears that were streaming down her face.
"You see we now have a problem, my name is Kikyo and you are Kagome, my reincarnation. So while you still live I can't come back."
"Why not"? Kagome asked not really understanding. Lex's death was still too fresh.
"Because you have my SOUL you stupid girl"! Suddenly Kikyo had a long blade katana in her hand. With loath in her eyes she aimed it at Kagome's heart. Kagome closed her eyes, expecting to feel the cold steel enter her body. When it didn't come she risked opening her eyes. To her disbelief someone was standing between her and Kikyo.
"Lex"? she questioned. Not quite sure if what she was seeing was real.
"Hey Kag" Lex said with her back to her.
"I saved you once, why would I let you die here"?
"But how did you—"
"Aw don't worry about it Kagome, I just wished you woulda told me what was bugging you, I coulda helped."
"I'm sorry Lex" "I know"
"How quaint" Kikyo interrupted
"But I can just kill you both!" Kikyo faltered as Lexious glared at her with a stare that sent chills up Kagome's spine.
"No" Lex said simply and Kikyo burst into dust and blew away. As Lex turned to Kagome, Kag gasped. She looked, to put it bluntly, dead.
"Lex your—"
"I know Kag," she replied while dropping the necklace on Kagome's lap.
"I gave this to you, it's from your father, or really our father, he wanted you to have it.
"Our father"?
"Yes Kag our father we are sisters, I'm sorry I never told you before, I wanted to but I was never sure how you'd take it." Lex than cocked her head as if listening to something.
"Goodbye........sister" before Kagome could answer, Lex was gone. She picked up the necklace.
"My father" she wondered, the necklace was a choker, tiny round pink stones all around it. The center was what looked to her like a large pearl; it seemed to have an internal glow. As she clasped it around her neck the floor became liquid and she slowly fell through.
"Inuyasha"! She mentally called in panic as the floor covered her mouth and eyes.
*
"A-A what?"
"A reincarnation"
"Oh," he said Kikyo was dead. He had killed her. That last fact was buried deep in the back of Inuyasha's mind.
"The Shikon no Tama," he began
"You said she took it with her"?
"Well......yeah, at least that's what we think, but we're not really sure. All we know is that Jewel of 4 Souls disappeared the same day she was cremated."
"So you're not even really sure? What if she—if she" Inuyasha smelled that familiar scent of jasmine and strawberries.
"Kagome?" He questioned his senses for the first time in his life.
"Kagome! Kagome's here?" Rin stood up as she excitedly asked.
"I think so" Inu responded thoughtfully.
"Where, where, where!" Rin exclaimed.
"Is she near here?"
"Uh" he thought a little bit while he sniffed the air
"No," he stated
"She's a little ways away from here. With other people"?
"The village!" Rin shouted as she jumped up and began to run. Inuyasha caught up to her and stopped.
"Tell me what way to go" he said
"And I'll take you"
*
Kagome found her self in a village, surrounded by a group of hostile looking people.
"Uh, hi?" She said trying to sound friendly. She received evil glares from the adults and frightful glances from the children hiding behind their mothers legs. Kagome grew nervous as the crowed parted and someone, apparently someone of importance, came through. It was an old lady. An old lady that almost had a heart attack when she saw Kagome. Although she didn't show her surprise.
"Come here child." She said. Kagome, weary of the looks she was getting, staggered towards the old woman. The woman was so short when Kag got there she knelt so she was looking eye to eye. The villagers took it as a sign of respect and relaxed a little. Almost as soon as Kagome knelt the women swiftly pinched Kag's nose and yanked her head down so she could see the back of Kag's head.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk" the woman said
"Go back to work, she's not a youki, she's a human seeking help." The villagers registered this and steadily the common commotion of the village began again.
"Um, uh excuse me" Kagome sputtered as the woman all but dragged her to the center house.
"Hush," the woman said.
"We can talk while I take care of that gash on your head." The woman was strong for her age. Or perhaps Kag was weak from loss of blood. She found herself kneeling as the woman applied different herbs and healing plants. Then she wrapped it so it would stay. Kagome found her self wrapped in a blanket with a cup of hot tea in her hand.
"Now" the woman began
"I know who you are; you're the girl in the future. My older sister's reincarnation." Kagome almost spit the tea all over the woman.
"Older sister!" Kagome's eye's bugged out.
"But I saw Kikyo, she's young and beautiful." The old woman sighed.
"I suppose I should tell you a tale that has become a legend in this village. 50 years ago our village was the most important village in all of Japan. Our miko, though young, was the most powerful miko. She alone took care of the Shikon no Tama, or Jewel of 4 souls. I was a young girl then, about 5, yet I remember it as clear as when I lived it. Kikyo fell in love with a hanyou. A thing that was not forbidden but extremely frowned upon. Now that hanyou got the bright idea to steal the Shikon no Tama to make him a full youki. He thought he could get away with it because of Kikyo's love for him. He was almost right. Kikyo knew the only way to stop him was death. I still remember the sorrow in her voice when she came to me in tears
'Oh Kade, I cannot kill the one I love, I would rather kill my self ' so I told her not to kill him but just put him to sleep. She took my advice yet she still got her wish. She died and the Shikon no Tama was never seen again." As Kagome digested this the villagers were excitedly listing to what that village expert on youki's (besides Kade) talk about his opinion of the mysterious girl.
