Disclaimer: Someone once asked me to draw a samurai helmet thingy. I ended up drawing a Viking helmet because I don't know how to draw a samurai helmet. Oh! You wanted a disclaimer! I just gave you a weird story from my life...oh well. Too bad! Ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaa!!!!!!
Chapter 4: Beginnings of the True Story
Ryou had gone back to retrieve his suitcase, quite glad to be away from those creepy girls. "Whew. Thank goodness no one stole this." He grabbed the handle and looked around. Now where was he? Oh! By some lucky accident, or destiny?, he was now in front of the hotel "Shining Jewel."
"How fortunate!" he cried out joyously.
"Hello! Nice seeing you again, eh?" said a voice from behind him.
"Oh! Good Afternoon..."
"Call me Zirume."
"We met at the subway station, right?"
"Yes. So we meet again."
"You staying at the "Shining Jewel" as well?"
"I suppose so. Well it was nice meeting you..."
"Bakura."
"Ah. Nice meeting you Bakura."
They entered the building...
Kagome and Inuyasha were back at Higurashi Shrine.
"Well?" called Kagome as she looked down into the well.
Inuyasha had jumped into the well once again. Actually, Kagome had pushed him in.
"Ow! No! The well is not working yet, alright?!"
"Well you don't have to shout!"
Why is the well still not working? thought Kagome. For some reason or other, the two could not pass through the well as they normally could. They needed to get back to the past to get Naraku.
Ti Minira was no longer upsetting to Kagome. It seems that Ti apologized for being mean to Kagome and had then moved away. Kagome, of course, being the gentle soul that she was, accepted Ti's apology.
Now that she no longer need Inuyasha to teach Ti a lesson, Kagome wanted to get back to the past. The problem was that no matter what Kagome and Inuyasha did, they couldn't get back to the past.
"Fine. We'll try again later, Inuyasha."
"'Kay!" said Inuyasha as he sprang up out of the well.
"Let's try again tomorrow morning. It's getting kind of late," said Kagome as she looked outside. The sun was setting over the busy city, Tokyo.
"So are we having saimin for dinner?" piped up Inuyasha.
"Again? Fine. I suppose it's not too bad eating noodles every night..." Kagome replied.
"And who's this Hojo person those girls were talking about?" Inuyasha looked at Kagome questioningly as they headed toward the house.
"Oh," said Kagome as she thought of what had happened earlier when her friends started petting Inuyasha's silver hair.
flash back
"Kagome! Is this your new boyfriend?" asked one of her friends accusingly.
"What about Hojo? You're not breaking up with him so soon?"
"If you're dating this guy then won't that break Hojo's heart? He really cares for you, even if you do have all of those diseases."
"Yeah!"
"Right!"
"Well?"
end of flashback
All Kagome could reply to this was, "No, uh...he's my doctor! And apparently I think I'm coming down with, uh...fever! Gotta go! Bye!"
And she had ran back home with Inuyasha following behind her while her friends just watched.
During the monster incident, several other pairs of eyes were watching. On the top floor of a rather tall hotel...
"Huh. So she's back, eh?"
"It appears so. And it seems that she's brought company."
"Yes. That hanyou, another white-haired person, and a....hn....that one's aura seems familiar. Yes. We've met before, in the past...yes. We must go back to the past Hitori. Word on the street is that the portal will open up at 6:30 tomorrow.
"Evening?"
"Morning."
"Sh!t."
And also, two other pairs of eyes were watching the incident that had happened earlier.
"So what do we do now?"
"I've got a feeling we should keep a close watch on our old friend Bakura."
"You look tired."
"Calming all those people was exhausting."
"Well, g'night then. See ya tomorrow morning."
Back at the "Shining Jewel" hotel.
That guy was fairly helpful.
/Zirume?/
Yes, Zirume. But there is something about him...
/Yami, you're being paranoid./
Ryou sat upon the edge of his bed, watching the TV in the hotel room. Flipping channels, he gazed blankly, not really noticing.
There was also something strange that happened earlier, right?
/Hai. Something strange did happen! When you fell asleep, there was this girl with purple eyes and she seemed to know about you! And then thump, thump, thump, comes this huuuuuuuuuuuge monster! It comes roaring down the streets and looked like it was coming after me! And then people are going "Ahhhhhhh!" and "Oh no!" And then we run away from it and then crash! I fell down and then she ran back toward the beast and then this other girl comes along, I think her name was Kagome? Well, anyways, she grabs me and thinks I'm some sort of Inuyasha creature! And then whoosh! The monster disappears and then whoooooooooosh! And then there were all these feathers and everyone stopped screaming and.../
Several hours later, Bakura got up. Ryou had tired himself our telling Bakura what had happened that day and went to sleep early. Now it was 5:30 in the morning and Bakura was feeling rather restless. He took control of the body, leaving Ryou in his soul room.
Bakura opened the door and stepped off onto the balcony. He leaned against the rail, looking out upon the streets of Tokyo. It seemed so peaceful......almost too peaceful to bear, dammit! In the distance he spotted something. There was an explosion of pink light and an irritated yell of agony. "Heh. I wonder what that was about..."
He looked around from his twentieth floor perch. I think I'll go for a walk, he thought to himself as he left the room, taking the strange cord and orbs with him as well as a knife he had stowed away in the suitcase, somewhere where Ryou wouldn't find it and discard it.
He wandered around for a while, studying the item. The thorns on the orbs looked sharp and deadly, but they were just hard bits that only slightly prickled his fingers. He looked at the feather engravings that ran along the sides. The feathers seemed to dance along the sides. He blinked and looked again. The feathers lay still and motion-less once again. Hm. Must have been a trick of the light, he thought to himself.
He wound the cord around his left wrist leaving the orbs to dangle. Then he got out his millennium ring. It was time to find these "shards of the shikon shards" that these "Kagome" and "Inuyasha" characters had hold of...Ryou had mentioned that he met those two...dammit! Fate better not be playing with his head! Heh-heh...he used his ring and ran a search for the "shikon jewel." It seemed to give off a strong sense...the ring's pointer thingies started spinning around...pointing in several directions and then...they stopped and pointed in one direction. It didn't feel too far away...good.
He walked in the direction he was pointed in, following this street. Turning right and into another. Keeping slightly to the shadows that the tall buildings cast in the early light of morning. Glad that the sun wasn't fully out yet, he made his way through Tokyo's streets. He looked back...hm...it felt like someone was following him.
Bakura stowed his ring back under his jacket and turned down another street. He could feel that the person following him was not too far behind him. He slowed a bit and turned to an empty, dead ended, alley.
"Where're you headed?" asked the stranger, his face was shrouded in shadow and his dark hair seemed only to darken those shadows. "The portal is in the other direction."
"What portal?" Bakura asked, feeling for the knife he stowed away in his jacket sleeve.
"The portal that will be open to all with the stronger auras this morning at the shrine. It's only going to be open for a while. It is our link to the past. We have been gathered to go there to destroy that which will upset our present selves. It is our destiny," said the stranger, who now looked at Bakura. He sniffed the air. "Wait. You are not one of us, are you? My mistake. I suppose I shall have to destroy you now."
"Don't talk to me about destiny and then realize you're talking to a stranger," said Bakura menacingly.
The stranger lunged forward at Bakura, a glowing javelin of dark light rested in his hands. Bakura dodged to the side as the man chopped at the thin air with the light stick.
He swung round only to have his gut connect with the hilt of Bkaura's knife. He dropped his weapon with a gasp as he cried out, "this wasn't supposed to happen! Hitori will get you!" And he fell, melting into the shadows around him as his weapon did the same.
Huh. That guy was weak. I wonder what happened to him, thought Bakura as he looked at the area the guy was last in. He spat on the ground and continued his search. He kept walking in the growing daylight, wondering about what just happened. He followed the direction the ring pointed in and came across a temple building. He paused and looked around. He saw no one, so he went to the temple. He followed as the ring pointed toward the temple, and walked through the open doorway.
"Get in there," he heard a girl's voice say.
"No!" said a guy's voice.
Bakura paused and watched from a corner. He saw the girl and guy from the photo. He watched as they argued while standing over some well in the ground. The guy wore a red kimono and had white hair like his own. The girl wore a sweater and skirt with black hair.
"Come on, Inuyasha!" said the girl in an irritated tone.
"Why don't you?" shouted the white-haired guy.
The girl pushed the guy over the rim of the well and said, "SIT!" Bakura watched, amused, as the guy dropped into the well in a flash of pink light.
"Oh!" said the girl, as she looked down into the well. "Well I guess the well's working again! Alright then!" She grabbed an abnormally large yellow backpack off the floor and jumped into the well.
Are they both suicidal? Thought Bakura as he walked toward the well and looked in. No one was there. Is this some sort of trick? He looked around and saw no one else in the room. If this was a trick, he wasn't falling for it. Nope. No siree........he'd just have Ryou take over and jump into the well. Yep. Sounds practical enough.
He went to Ryou's soul room and shouted, "Ryou! Wake up!" Then he retreated to his own soul room, forcing Ryou to take over.
"Huh? Where am I?" he said aloud, drowsily looking around him, bewildered.
Suddenly Bakura took control of Ryou's legs, long enough to make him jump into the well that was in front of him and then retreat back to his soul room. "Hey, what's happeni--Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" He closed his eyes as he fell...
He never felt himself hit the floor. He opened his eyes and saw pink and purple light surround him and flecks of golden lights...like stars or something... Then he gently landed on the floor of the well. He looked up and saw vines and creepers growing along the side of the well. They looked sturdy enough to support his weight.
He started to climb up the vines, his feet finding small niches in the wall to grab hold of. "Ungh," he said as he climbed. Finally he rached the top. He pulled himself over the side of the well and fell into soft green grass. He looked up and saw white clouds floating around in a beautiful sunny sky. He saw butterflies flutter by him and felt the warm rays of the sun on his skin as he looked around to see more beautiful green grass and equally green trees...
"Oh my gosh!" he exclaimed. "I've died and gone to heaven!" He got up and wandered around, looking up into the beautiful trees, not really quite noticing the gleaming red eyes that peered down at him...
"I'm in heaven! I'm dead? I don't feel dead though...but this just has to be heaven," he said to himself, trying to convince himself that this wasn't just a dream by pinching himself. "Ow," he said. "If I'm in heaven, how come that hurt? But this wonderful place just has to be heaven!"
He wandered deeper into the forest. "Wow...heaven's just soooooooooo wonderful...wow..."
Bwa-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Thanks to the only person who reviewed chapter 3: Puppkid! I like reviews! Though this story is kinda weird...but it shall make sense in chapter 5: It's a demon's world. Oh! And that part where Ryou thinks he's in heaven....that was what a friend of mine said I should put..............heh-heh.........R and R. Dat means....something or other...yah...g00d by3 p30p35!!!!! Bwah-ha- hahackha-hacough- haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Damn. I really need to work on that evil laugh...it's not supposed to make my throat sore!
