Chapter 5
~*Kikyo's POV*~
Kikyo stood at the top of the hill leading to Inuyasha's forest at sunset, listening with envy to the happy sounds coming from Kaede's hut. Her dark eyes widened with surprise as she sensed a new aura that joined them; another girl. Kikyo grew even more astonished as she probed deeper into the girl's aura and found that she, like herself had been before, was a keeper of something hugely powerful, and the aura of the item itself was remarkably similar, almost the same, to the Shikon no Tama.
But wait. If that was indeed true, then…
Then Kikyo could wish herself back alive, for real. She could make Inuyasha hers once again. Now all she needed to do was to make sure that the girl would listen to what she had to say. A faint smile formed on her lips as a devious plan began to take shape inside her mind.
~*Kami's POV*~
Kami spread out her sleeping bag on the wooden floor. It was really crowded tonight in Kaede's hut. Inuyasha and Miroku were going to sleep on a pile of straw, Inuyasha nearest the door; Kaede would be in her usual place nearest the hearth, and Sango, Kagome, and Kami were sleeping on the far side of the room, as far away from Miroku's groping hands as possible. Shippo and Kirara curled up on another, smaller pile of straw near Kagome and Kami. Shippo had insisted that Sparky sleep next to him.
Finally, everyone got situated and one by one pairs of eyes closed and slipped deep into the Dreamtime.
"Kami… Kami…" A voice called out at her through a blanket of silver mist.
"Who's there?" Kami clutched the Pokeball protectively around her neck. "What do you want?"
"I am someone very much like yourself, Kami. Forced to hold and protect a dangerous item that nearly took my life for it. I want to spare you from the same fate as me."
"Who are you?"
"Call me…Kikyo. Come, Kami. Awaken and head to the hill near Inuyasha's forest. I shall be waiting for you."
"What are you going to do?"
"You'll have to trust me on that one." A face loomed at her through the mist, with long black hair and ebony eyes, a face that looked very much like Kagome's. "Awaken, Kami!"
Kami sat up in her sleeping bag. A long, silvery object flew stealthily through the flap of Kaede's hut. A closer look showed it to be like a cross between a snake and an insect, with six legs near the front of its skinny body. "Kami…follow the soul skimmer." The voice rang out inside Kami's head, regal and commanding. "And do not waken anyone else to go with you. This is something they will not understand."
"O-okay," she whispered to herself. Getting up quietly out of her sleeping bag, Kami silently pulled on her boots and gathered her Pokeballs, glancing nervously every now and then at Inuyasha, who's ears were twitching slightly with each little noise she made. The soul skimmer waited patiently for her.
As soon as she was dressed, the small demon flew out of the hut, Kami trotting after it, trying not to step on any twigs or trip on rocks. They made a strange sight, a young girl and a silvery demon walking together under the moonlight.
Kami followed the soul skimmer all the way up the hill, to where a girl in a red and white kimono was waiting for her.
Dahahahaha… yet another cliffhanger! *dodges tomatoes.* Heh heh heh… well, we'll see what happens to Kami, and if Kikyo does persuade her into joining her. Don't worry, the Kikyo trash-and-bash party is yet to come! *gets water buckets*. Hee hee hee…I want to splash her with cold water and see if that earth-and-bone body of hers melts, but unfortunately we'll just have to wait and see. See ya later!
