A/N: Hiya! Thank you all to those who reviewed! I really appreciated the
nice reviews. *Starts to bow* ^____^
Well, let's see...hm, if I made the last chapter a bit confusing, I apologize. Anyway, in this chapter, an 'extra' sort of thing would be added in; it'll be like a 'sort' of legend and some things would be placed differently. B/c this is an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE story. (Sorry, but needed to remind some people -_-) Like how these next few characters would be placed and how they would act. Just warning some before people get a bit angry w/me. And this chappie might be a bit boring to some of you. But anyway, here's the next chapter and well, hope you review it when you're done. ^^
Read on!

CHAPTER SIX: LEGENDS AND PROPHECIES?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The full moon's bright light pierced its way through the thick, dark cloud that tried to cover it up. Moonlit rays scattered in different areas of the modern city of Tokyo. It was almost midnight and the city was still awake. Cars were driving around, people still walking about; some stores or shops are still open for customers and so on. A lot was still happening as the hour of midnight approached. But most citizens or tourists are fast asleep, unlike one in particular.
Kagome, the girl was still up and looking out to the full moon as she stroked Kirara's soft fur. She was staying at Sango's home for the night and now she's out on the patio, gazing at the moon and stars. After watching the news this afternoon, she became quiet and depressed. The death of her friend, Koaru, was devastating. She had known Koaru since she was a baby, for Koaru was a year younger than she was. She was like a younger sister to her, but now she's gone and dead. Fresh new tears slid down the crying girl's face.
A small breeze of wind blew around her, making the air become chilly. Kagome became cold and deciding that it was already late, she went back into the house. When she stepped through the doorway to Sango's room, she sighed and collapsed onto her bed.
"Kagome?" Sango asked from across the room.
"Hmm?"
"Who do you think had done this to Koaru?"
"I don't know," she started as she clenched her teeth, "but whoever has done this will surely pay." A cry of vengeance could have been heard after she had spoken this.
"How will they pay?"
A short pause took place until Kagome answered her friend. "When I find them, I'm going to kill them..."
~_~_~_~_~_~_~__~_~_~_~
It was almost one in the morning, the full moon was still high in the sky, and still, things are awake. Animals hunting, people bristling, demons and vampires lurking within the shadows, stalking their prey, witchcraft brewing and stories of legends are being told....
* * *
Seven to eight feet poles circled around the large temple. There were about five poles and between each one, was a tall tree. On each tree, little folded pieces of paper with sacred writings for happiness and good health, were tied to a branch. Not all of the branches were covered with paper, only the branches that were closer to the ground and arm's length were.
Within the center of the circle of trees and poles, lies the temple. The temple appeared to have been made during the Sengoku Jidai, the Warring States Era. When it was just made, a powerful youkai ruled it. He was a powerful leader and every human or youkai alike, obeyed his every command. He cared little for humans; he literally despises them. He was Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru was mighty and yet, at the same time, beautiful. With his long, silver-white hair, golden-brown eyes, a beautifully shaped face and a well-built body, many will love him. Though Sesshoumaru is not the only one that many would love. He had a younger half-brother. Inuyasha - young, quick with wit and mostly stubborn - is not at all like his older brother. He would now and then care for humans, unlike Sesshoumaru, who by which would never in the world care for any. Until it was the day when Sesshoumaru had met the little girl called Rin.
After Sesshoumaru met her, he somehow changed. He had saved her from a pack of demons and brought her along with him to his home. She became a daughter to him and he began to love her like one. During some occasions, Inuyasha would see his brother with the girl. This was a strange sight to him, and so, he would leave or go away to his own place.
The two would seem to look as if they're close friends at first to people who had just met them, but deep down, they hate each other so much that whenever they meet, they would lash out anger and fight one another. Never once did they happily meet. But they had to join forces once - there was a war - a war that was caused by humans who hated all demons. These humans decided to attack every youkai they see. Even young ones that had just been born, they have been ambushed by the humans. By this, the two brothers became very angry and had settled their differences, agreeing that this will be the only time that they'll ever work together. And they did. With the aid of each other's help, they defeated the demon-hating clan and the slaughtering had ceased.
But their victory didn't last long; an arrow with powerful magic possessing within it, struck Inuyasha's heart. The hanyou cried out in pain when the arrow pierced him. He then collapsed on the spot to where he stood. Before falling, he had caught a glimpse of who the shooter was. It was a miko. The priestess from the next village who was believed to be a witch was the shooter. Her name was Kaede. By the way the expression written on her face, she looked determined, angry and worn. She had been fighting demons day in and day out for the past three days. She is tired and weak.
Sesshoumaru watched his little brother lying on the ground, dying slowly and unable to cry out. When his last breath of life past his lips, Inuyasha closed his eyes and no longer did his heart beat.
Sesshoumaru remained still as small droplets formed in his eyes. Slowly, he picked up his brother. As Sesshoumaru walked, he saw Kaede preparing herself for another arrow, but she didn't shoot at him. Instead she held her position, ready for an attack. Sesshoumaru didn't attack the woman; he just walked on.
He brought Inuyasha to a quiet meadow near a well and buried him beside it. The youkai then said a silent prayer and with that, he left. The reign of the powerful Sesshoumaru had begun to fall.
No one knows what had happened to Sesshoumaru after that, nor do they know where the remains of Inuyasha lie now, for his grave was soon dug up and his body was gone. But it still remains a mystery to the local villagers who lived near the well...
~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
"I don't understand that story, Grandma!" a young boy exclaimed loudly. "Why are you telling me this every month?"
The old woman looked down at the young boy that was her grandson and chuckled. "It is very important for you to hear this story, my young Shippou," she said to him. "Because if I am no longer in this world, it will be you who will take over this temple and it will be your duty to pass on this story to others of your generation."
"But why?"
Kaede sighed and closed her eyes. For many months, she has been telling Shippou this story. Shippou and she have lived in this temple for many long years and her time in the world will soon be up. "I will tell you later, my boy. But first, you need to go to bed. It is way past your bed time."
Shippou turned around from where he was sitting and saw the clock that hanged above the front door. It was almost one in the morning, but he didn't even feel sleepy yet. The boy frowned, not wanting to go to bed so soon. "Grandma, I don't wanna go to bed."
"But you must or you will be very grouchy when I wake you up early." Kaede got up from the floor she was sitting on and held out her hand in front of Shippou. "Now come on. I will take you to your room."
Shippou took her hand and the two walked together. Once they were in Shippou's room, Kaede tucked the boy in his bed, gave him a good night kiss and left.
Kaede walked towards the front of the temple and went out through the door to look up at the full moon that floated above the sky. A sudden gust of wind blew around her, sending her a message. "'Tis almost time," she started to say, "'tis almost time to bring the Four chosen ones together before it is too late."
~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
Botan tossed from side to side in her bed. She was asleep but tiny beads of sweat covered her face. "No..." she cried out as she slept. "No...Kurama...Don't! Don't go in there! He'll get you! Kurama, DON'T GO!!!" Botan opened her eyes and realized that she was sitting on her bed instead of lying down. Her hand was even out in front of her, as if she was reaching out for something or...for someone. Her heart was pounding louder than a drum; it was beating a rhythm.
"What just happened?" she asked herself. She looked around her; her friends were still asleep. They didn't wake up from her cries. 'Did Koenma hear me?' she questioned mentally. She became quiet and lied down on her bed. She began to close her eyes but another image of Kurama formed in her mind once more. Botan snapped her eyes open. 'What the - - What was that for? First the dream and now this? What does this mean? I barely know him and how could this start to happen?' She turned to her side and pulled the covers over her head. 'What does this all mean?' she asked quietly.
Botan had clearly been dreaming about Kurama, but it was more like a nightmare that seemed to be so true in her mind. She didn't understand the cause of her dream and was confused. Maybe she could talk about it to her friends later before school? But what if they begin to think that she's starting to have feelings for Kurama? Or maybe she should just remain quiet and not tell her friends at all? Botan was beginning to feel troubled about this.
She then lied awake throughout the remaining night.
~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
A pair of emerald green eyes watched a young girl die with the loss of blood. Earlier that night, this girl was attacked and was killed; Kurama did not participate in this slaughter. However, he only watched what was happening to her with disgust, he witnessed Hiei drinking her blood and had refused to join him when he was offered a taste.
Hiei and Kurama were out to look for the four Elemental Witches; they haven't even found one of the four yet. But along the way, Hiei became hungry and wanted to eat. Kurama refused to take part; he wasn't hungry. He already had enough blood for the day and didn't need any more until the next sunset.
The two belonged into a different vampire race. A race that is stronger and advanced than the common vampires that many people know of now. They are part of the Kurokiba race, the Black Fangs. This race didn't have the weaknesses that most vampires have; they don't cower in fear when exposed to sunlight. In fact, they don't need to hide away from the bright rays; they could stay all day in the sun and live like human beings. The Kurokiba race is not afraid of Crosses or Holy Water, nor do they burn when they come in contact with either, actually, any thing related to a Church, they do not fear it. They have abilities that most vampires have or don't have. Abilities to read one's mind and thoughts, to change shape or form, to fly, to have telekinetic powers and so much more.
As a Kurokiba vampire, their taste and lust for blood isn't as tempting to them like most vampires; they could live for a day without the need for blood. But, if they don't have any for more than 48 hours, they would fall weak and become vulnerable against predators and enemies. They need blood. In every human body, red blood runs through them. Within that blood, there is a vital substance that a Kurokiba must have to survive in this world. They cannot live two days without it. With the blood, they will no longer be weak. It's as if they are reborn with new life, rejuvenated, refreshed. It isn't just blood that these vampires would feast on all the time; a Kurokiba can eat human food and drink liquids that a human can drink. They could even live like human beings and could be seen as one. But they are not like humans at all...They're immortal.
While most vampires have just been turned into one, their eyes and hair would turn pitch black and their reflection would no longer appear before them in a mirror. A Kurokiba on the other hand, once they have just been turned into one, it is the opposite (or somewhat they opposite). Instead of their hair and eyes turning into a black color like most, their hair and eyes would remain the same as it was before they have died and their reflection would always be seen before them when faced in front of a mirror. For example, Kurama, before he died his hair was crimson-colored and his eyes, a bright, emerald color. Even so until now his eyes and hair are the same. His skin is also flawless and smooth when touched. Kurama is over 300 years old but he still looks 15 - as if he had never aged one bit. Still young and handsome, he makes every woman want him.
As mentioned before, a Kurokiba's age can cause advantages or disadvantages. If her or she is over 300 (like Kurama), they are powerful and not particular harm could be done to them. Actually, any vampire younger than 300 will do no harm to those who are older than them, but training can always be done to improve one's strength. If a Kurokiba is over 500, they are almost invincible; nothing could hurt or harm them. If one is over 1000 years old, they could practically rule the Underworld. But there is only one Kurokiba that is over 1000; he is the creator of this race, the one that started it all, the king of all vampires (with a really long criminal record -_-). He is impossible to find and kill. He could live anywhere and look like a human being. Throughout time, many knew that demons and witches tried to stop this monster; however, many have failed to destroy him. Though there is one way that he could be stopped and that way is through the Elemental Witches.
The Elemental Witches consists of four chosen girls that can harness the powers of Wind, Water, Fire and Earth. These four girls would have a sort of symbol located somewhere on their bodies (like forehead, neck, arm or leg). This symbol would appear upon them when in battle, when faced against danger or whenever they use their magic. When their powers are combined, they can destroy all the evils that plague this world. But this is a prophecy that was created by the witches of before, during the Sengoku Jidai, and until now, they've been waiting for them to be brought together. However, not one of the Four has been found; when all four are together in a sacred place (like a shrine/temple), their powers will come to them; these powers do not just go into any girl, it must go into the chosen ones.
* * *
With all that going on, those who are waiting for the arrival of these witches do not know who they are. They still search for them even though they haven't learned of their identity yet. Legends and prophecies would come together very soon once they are found.
The Kurokiba, on the other hand, have their own prophecy about these witches. It is said that the creator of the Kurokiba had gone to seek advice about his reign as the new king of vampires to the Oracle who can see the future. The Oracle saw his future; he saw that in the faraway time of the future, his reign would ultimately decline once four girls with special powers come together and destroy him. These girls would not be at all powerful if they have not been brought together. By this, they would be easy to kill and his reign would be safe. However, once their powers are within them, they would be impossible to defeat. That is why until now, the Kurokiba vampires has been ordered to search and destroy these four girls before their powers come to them. But no one knows who they are yet.
* * *
They have been searching for almost 400 years now and the Kurokiba have become restless. They have recruited new vampires into their race but with that, there isn't much being done. Kurama has become part of this hunt, though he no longer wishes to be involved. After his precious Kikyou had died, his heart had started to become soft. He no longer wanted to search and kill these girls. But those are his orders, as so is his best friend Hiei's and his group. Within this group, there are other vampires (but they'll be introduced later on in future chaps), that look around for them. Together they devise plans and such; for example, the plans that Kurama enters the local high school; walk amongst the students and look like one so that it'll be like a disguise as they search. But soon, another member of this group will be in the school to help Kurama.
Not much luck has been happening for them; tonight it was only Kurama and Hiei hunting out. The others were too lazy to join them. Still, nothing much happened. The only thing that has happened this night was the death of another innocent little girl...

A/N: Okay, I'm ending it there for now. I got confused when I was writing this up. But it might or might not be for you guys. But anyway, just tell me what you think about it and I apologize if this story has gotten boring and confusing to you. If it has been, then I might stop writing this. If not, then I'm still going to write. Maybe... Too many new ideas for writing this fic kept coming into my brain; I'd either want this or that to happen now or later and so on. Anyway just tell me what you think when you review. And I'll add in the next chapter once I've received 5 reviews.
Well, all for now. Gotta go and finish my World History and English homework!
Byes!
~KY
Well, let's see...hm, if I made the last chapter a bit confusing, I apologize. Anyway, in this chapter, an 'extra' sort of thing would be added in; it'll be like a 'sort' of legend and some things would be placed differently. B/c this is an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE story. (Sorry, but needed to remind some people -_-) Like how these next few characters would be placed and how they would act. Just warning some before people get a bit angry w/me. And this chappie might be a bit boring to some of you. But anyway, here's the next chapter and well, hope you review it when you're done. ^^
Read on!

However, not one of the Four has been found; when all four are together in a sacred place (like a shrine/temple), their powers will come to them; these powers do not just go into any girl, it must go into the chosen ones.
* * *
With all that going on, those who are waiting for the arrival of these witches do not know who they are. They still search for them even though they haven't learned of their identity yet. Legends and prophecies would come together very soon once they are found.
The Kurokiba, on the other hand, have their own prophecy about these witches. It is said that the creator of the Kurokiba had gone to seek advice about his reign as the new king of vampires to the Oracle who can see the future. The Oracle saw his future; he saw that in the faraway time of the future, his reign would ultimately decline once four girls with special powers come together and destroy him. These girls would not be at all powerful if they have not been brought together. By this, they would be easy to kill and his reign would be safe. However, once their powers are within them, they would be impossible to defeat. That is why until now, the Kurokiba vampires has been ordered to search and destroy these four girls before their powers come to them. But no one knows who they are yet.
* * *
They have been searching for almost 400 years now and the Kurokiba have become restless. They have recruited new vampires into their race but with that, there isn't much being done. Kurama has become part of this hunt, though he no longer wishes to be involved. After his precious Kikyou had died, his heart had started to become soft. He no longer wanted to search and kill these girls. But those are his orders, as so is his best friend Hiei's and his group. Within this group, there are other vampires (but they'll be introduced later on in future chaps), that look around for them. Together they devise plans and such; for example, the plans that Kurama enters the local high school; walk amongst the students and look like one so that it'll be like a disguise as they search. But soon, another member of this group will be in the school to help Kurama.
Not much luck has been happening for them; tonight it was only Kurama and Hiei hunting out. The others were too lazy to join them. Still, nothing much happened. The only thing that has happened this night was the death of another innocent little girl...

A/N: Okay, I'm ending it there for now. I got confused when I was writing this up. But it might or might not be for you guys. But anyway, just tell me what you think about it and I apologize if this story has gotten boring and confusing to you. If it has been, then I might stop writing this. If not, then I'm still going to write. Maybe... Too many new ideas for writing this fic kept coming into my brain; I'd either want this or that to happen now or later and so on. Anyway just tell me what you think when you review. And I'll add in the next chapter once I've received 5 reviews.
Well, all for now. Gotta go and finish my World History and English homework!
Byes!
