Chapie 3
My
Old Friend
Kioshi ran as fast as she could but then made an
abutted stop in some bushes. "It's him" she whispered to
herself. As she looked closer for further inspection there were two
humans then two youki's. There was a woman who had a youki
exterminator outfit on, She then had long black beautiful hair and a
huge weapon but couldn't make out what it was exactly. And then the
man looked like a monk of some kind. He had a long gold walking staff
as a weapon. He had blue and black garments on, he then had had short
black hair with a tiny tail on the back of his own head. She let out
a giggle when the young women hit the monk and he lay on the floor.
Kioshi looked over and saw two youki's a fox youki and a cat youki.
The cat had two tails and was a light color with a few dark strips on
its tail. The fox youki had a little boys face and hands but feet and
tail of a fox. He was wearing a nice light blue teal shirt and pants.
She gave a smile to the child and started to scan the area once more.
She then had seen the one she had been looking for, for so long. He
had long silver white hair. Two perfect dog ears at the top of his
head and his red outfit. She longed for him to turn her way and stop
pacing about that stupid well. Then he sniffed the air and looked
around. He had stared at that very place for a moment and then began
to pace around the well once again.
Kioshi
then stood up with Alu and began making a rustling sound. Inu yasha's
head snapped back over. She had been cloaked in the forest full of
darkness. Inu yasha looked up and had a shocked look on his face as
he sniffed the air. "What's wrong Inu yasha?" questioned
the monk. "Inu yasha?" the woman questioned. "Kio- -"
he was then cut off by an attack from Alu which was soon followed by
the kick to the stomach by Kioshi. Both of the humans jumped up and
the woman threw her weapon "Hiraikotsu" she had yelled.
Kioshi grabbed it and broke it in half. Soon Inu yasha unleashed his
Tessaiga. The sword was huge. "Not bad Inu yasha" she
laughed as she took off with her great agility. She ran circles
around Inu yasha then kicked him in the back and he fell to the
ground.
The monk saw this and ran towards
Kioshi. He tried to hit her but every time he tried she would
disappear. "Come on monk what you are trying to hit?" she
said while laughing to herself. "Show yourself demon from hell."
Kioshi soon appeared as did Alu who stood in front of her and
growled. She turned around to face Inu yasha who had a big smile
planted on his face. "Miss me?" she questioned as she
helped him up. At that the monk backed down.
Inu yasha starred into her eyes for a moment until she broke the
trance with a big hug. A hug she had been longing to give ever since
she left the castle they all lived in. "Inu yasha!" she
cried as she hugged him tightly. "Kioshi" he said quietly
returning her hug. "I thought you died." He admitted as
they where still attached. Kioshi had tears pouring from her eyes she
had found her best friend and was so over joy. After ten years of
looking there he was right in front of her, hugging her. "No I
am alive and well" Kioshi held him a bit tighter as did Inu
yasha and they both began to dig their claws into each others skin
causing some slight bleeding neither of them noticed. As they parted
Kioshi kissed his cheek.
Kioshi and Inu yasha
both looked over to the well and a young girl in the well gave a sad
look. "Future huh?" she questioned Inu yasha. Inu yasha
turned to her then started. "You went to Kaede before me?"
he questioned. "Of course she was closer" she said happily
wiping a tear away from her cheek. "Besides I wanted you to feel
surprised when I beat you up like the old days" he gave a laugh.
"You didn't beat me all the time." "oh yes I did
remember that time when you and Kikyo where out by the river and you
thought it was a date but it was really a set up for me to get your
head dunked into the water cause you didn't want to swim?" Inu
yasha sweat dropped he remembered that day all to well.
"Umm" the girl in the well began. Kioshi turned
her way and looked to her as she got out of the well. "I don't
mean to be rude but who are you?" she questioned. Kioshi walked
up to her and examined her for a moment. She had long black hair a
white and green outfit and dark eyes. "Hummm recantation eh?
Don't got the clothes or the attitude. I think the gods went wrong
with this one." The girl got red and began "WELL JUST
BECAUSE-" she was then cut off by this wolf who was growling to
her viciously when she raised her voice to Kioshi. "No! Alu
don't dare!" she warned. "I am sorry about Alu oh and also
I am Kioshi." Kioshi extended her hand to the human girl who
slightly looked like Kikyo but not much. "I am Kagome. And these
are Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara."
Kioshi gave a smile and stared at Inu yasha some more barely
believing it was him. "Is this a dream Inu yasha?" she
questioned as she pushed back tears. "I don't think so Kioshi."
He answered as he engulfed her in a hug. "I have missed you more
then words can describe." Kioshi said in a whisper to the point
you could barely make out what she was saying. "I have missed
you also Kio." Kioshi gave a bit of a smile as they parted. "I
haven't heard that name in over 50 years." She said quietly as
she looked to the ground.
She then turned her
head back to Inu yasha's friends when they all came together looking
at them. Kioshi gave a laugh. "I am so sorry. I am Inu yasha's
old friend it has been years since I last seen him." Kagome then
noticed Kioshi's black tail the black stripes on her face and her
crescent moon on her right hand. "Oh you're barely noticing I am
demon?" she questioned with amusement in her voice. "It
took my awhile to figure it out too."
"How
do you know Inu yasha?" questioned the woman named Sango. "I
met him when I was 6 years old. We had each other then and we where
each others only friend. I lived with him and his family till I was
14 and left. Now for the last 10 years I had been trying to find the
tree he was sealed to. But about a half of a year ago I heard a human
girl released him and for that I am grateful." "That long!"
the little fox demon let out. "Yes yes and so has me and my
companion Alu. She is very protective of me all four of us. Since we
where so close to each other when we knew each other as children."
"You look exactly the same way as you did
that morning when you left." There was a long silence. "Why
did you leave Kioshi why?" She gave a sigh and cracked her
knuckles. Then she gave a light chuckle. "Inu yasha have you
heard the legend of the crescent moon?" she questioned as she
reveled her hand. Inu yasha shook his head no as did the rest of his
traveling companions. "Can you tell the story?" Shippo let
out. "No Shippo that's rude." Kagome said as she looked at
him. Kioshi laughed and sat on the ground as the rest did also. "Ok
you see here goes the legend. It is said millions of years ago their
where demons every place. Well you see these two youki where madly in
love with each other. But it could not be. You see there was a huge
war going on back then. One of the Youki's tried to kill the other
but could not. It didn't matter to him if they where in the war they
loved each other more then their life's. So the day before their
execution they met in secret. The woman youki had been very strong
with mystical powers. She then turned themselves into moons vowing
they would be together again. Well only few youki's out of the whole
universe has this crescent moon. Then because of this when they meet
one another they fall madly in love with each other for they were
meant to be." Both human girls gave a sigh and mummer. Inu yasha
had a smile on his face not really paying attention to the story but
loving hearing the sound of her voice again. The monk was neutral,
and the little fox demon had his tongue sticking out.
"How sad" Kagome said sadly. "Yes it is very
sad." "But why did you leave Kioshi you make no sense."
Inu yasha said a bit sadly. She gave a sigh they still hadn't figured
out why. "What does your brother Sesshomaru have that I have?"
Inu yasha gave a laugh and was about to be annoying. "And don't
you dare give mean obnoxious answer." She warned. "The
crescent moon" Miroku let out. "Exactly." Once again
the girls gave a sigh. They had caught on very fast. But who can
blame them they where women. Miroku shook his head in understandance,
and Shippo had the same face he had previously. "I don't get it
what doss Sesshomaru have to do with anything?" Every one rolled
their eyes. "You never did catch on right away did you?"
Kioshi had questioned.
The female Youki soon
got up and walked up to her friend. "Come on Inu yasha we have
to catch up." She then smiled and took his hand into hers. He
moved slowly sniffing the air around her. "How have you been in
the past six months Inu yasha?" She questioned. "Uh fine I
guess." He answered as they sat on the ground. Kioshi sighed
which caused Alu to come and sit by them. Inu yasha then gave a light
smiled and pat Alu who was lying in the middle of them. "Kioshi
why did you leave? And what confuses me more why did you leave on
Sesshomru's wedding day?" Those words practically made her eyes
bulged out. She didn't remember that Sesshomaru was to wed a Youki.
"How are they? How is their marriage that is?" She asked
quietly. "They didn't get married" he answered. "What?
Why?" She said a bit confused. "Before they could wed
Sesshomaru decided he didn't care what father said he wasn't going to
marry her at all costs. So he killed her." Kioshi's eyes almost
bulged out from this new information and wasn't sure what that all
meant.
During the conversation of Inu yasha
and Kioshi Sango and Kagome couldn't stand it anymore. They had to
ask her questions about everything. Soon Kagome and Sango ran over to
Kioshi where she was situated next to Inu yasha. "You want to
talk?" they both questioned. Kioshi gave a laugh as she stood
up. "Ill be back in a bit Inu yasha" She said as she turned
around. "wait!" Inu yasha interrupted which cause all the
females to turn around to see what was the problem. "do you
promise you'll come back this time?" Kioshi's eyes were soften
by those words and nodded her head lightly. "Promise" With
that she turned around and began to leave Inu yasha behind.
Kioshi gave a smile then she began to the females. "It
has been so long since I had someone to talk to aside from Alu she
has always been there for me." The girls quickly ran off in one
direction into the woods. "There is a place near by here and me
and my best friend aside from Inu yasha helped me make it."
Kioshi stopped suddenly causing Kagome and Sango
both crash into her. Soon Alu made her way towards her master. Kioshi
gave a smirk "If you don't leave now I will be forced to hurt
you." She stood there for a few moments as Kagome and Sango were
just getting up. "Fine your choice." She quickly leaped at
least 7 feet in the air and jumped onto a branch. From human ears you
could only here rustling and some cussing. Then soon you could hear
screaming and someone taking the first ticket down the branch
elevator. Soon right in front of Kagome and Sango's feet laid Inu
yasha who had scratch marks on his face. In a blink of an eye there
was Kioshi who fell on Inu yasha on her feet. "Are you part cat
youki?" Kagome questioned. "Why yes I am. Cheetah to be
exact." she answered as she walked onto of Inu yasha's head.
"Damn Kioshi you worse then stupid Kagome here." Kioshi
looked over to the human girl whose face was red. She gave a laugh a
human couldn't do anything to a youki. "Sit, sit, sit, sit, and
sit!" she yelled. Every time the human girl yelled those words
Inu yasha flung to the dirt floor. Kioshi walked over to Inu yasha
and bent over examining what was different to cause this to happen.
"The necklace" she said with a smile on her lips as she
helped him up. "This human is in control of you doesn't she?"
Kioshi questioned while trying to suppress her laughter. "Yeah"
he answered quietly. Kioshi soon fell to the floor rolling with
laughter. "This is so priceless!" She quickly pulled
herself together after a few minutes now aware she was being watched
by the humans. "Ah. Any ways...Inu yasha go away!" he
crossed his arms meaning no. "Fine Alu take Inu yasha away and
guard him and if he doesn't correspond then it looks like you get to
practice your new move on him." Alu quickly growled at Inu yasha
and nipped at him every time he didn't move. Soon the girls where
alone again and Kioshi wasted no time in getting away.
Kioshi quickly ran but didn't run as fast as she would
normally run because the humans behind her. "Here it is"
she said with a sigh. What they had found was a huge house sitting in
the middle of the forest. "What's this place?" Sango
questioned as Kioshi walked inside. "This was my favorite hiding
place away from lord Sesshomaru when I was a child." "So
you really lived with them then?" Kagome questioned as she and
Sango also walked in. "Yes I did it was a wonderful place to
live." She admitted. "You said one of you best friend's
help you make this. Who?" Sango questioned. Kioshi gave a smile
and was more then positive they had known her. "Kikyo" she
answered. "Kikyo?!?" They yelled in disbelief. "But,
but she is well not right she is crazy." Kagome hid her head
ready for the next war to begin but Kioshi only smiled. "If you
had known her like I did when we were kids you would have been her
best friend too. She was a wonderful friend and her sister Kaede
looked up to me and her both. But when Inu yasha and Kikyo were both
14 and I was 12 I got them to go out together. It was so obvious they
loved each other they found warmth within each other so Kagome I can
tell you love Inu yasha and yes I said love so if you hate Kikyo and
Inu yasha especially cause he can be a jerk blame me. I am the one
who started it all." "How can I hate you I don't even know
you yet." Kagome said which caused Kioshi to give a very light
smile.
"Isn't it true?" Sango
started. "Is it true you and Sesshomaru a soul mates?"
"According to the stars" she answered. Both girls looked at
each other and Kioshi decided to decipher the meaning for them. "What
I mean when I say that is yes me and him where meant to be and that's
the plain cold truth. Long before he or I was born we were meant to
be with each other. That was the plan for us" Both girls shook
their head enlightened. "Was Sesshomaru was he the reason you
left? Like Inu yasha said you did?" Sango questioned. "Not
exactly." She answered. "It is very hard to explain if you
really want to know about my past tonight I will show it to you. You
can watch my past threw your dreams." "How is that
possible?" Kagome questioned. "Alu she has a special
ability only her kind can get. She can make us all fall asleep
including me so everyone that falls asleep in the hut will have
dreams of my past up until that moment when I left. Now do you really
want to know?" she questioned. "Yes" they both
answered in union. "Great you will see why and see how much I
loved Sesshomaru." Both gave a sigh again which caused silence
throughout the little house.
"How did you
love him?" Kagome questioned out of nowhere. "How? I mean
he looks so mean and ruthless." Kioshi gave a sigh of
remembrance. "Yes he was. He was ruthless when I was young also
it didn't seem like he liked me much I guess. But when we got
together when I was 13 and he was much older then me he was 24 if I
remember correctly. But we got together-." She was then cut off
by Kagome. "Wait! He was about eleven years older then you!"
She yelled. Kioshi only chuckled under her breath. "You see
young one way back then women married older much older men then
themselves. It might be different in your time and I know things have
changed a bit from then to now. But you see even if it wasn't like
that back then age doesn't mean a thing. There are no limits on love.
Like you you're in love with my best friend
Inu yasha. He is much
older then you and yes I do count the years he had been sealed to the
tree because he was still alive just not there." Kagome sat
there for a moment and thought. "Yes I guess your right"
She had said after a few minutes.
"Can
you continue?" Sango questioned. "Yes" Answered the
youki "Let's see" she said as she thought. "Oh yes!
And when we were together his anger and ruthlessness ceased he had a
heart he was sweet nice and so handsome. I knew he loved me so."
Kioshi gave a sigh as did Kagome and Sango. "Well let's go it's
almost night fall and I will show you my past." The trio got up
and walked out of her hiding place into the half lit woods.
The girls walked in silence as Kioshi thought. 'I loved
him so much I wanted to be with him forever. But now I might never
get that chance. Even if by chance I do find him he might not love
me.' Kioshi shook her head when she heard her mother's words again.
"Its written in the star's" she said out loud. The two
younger women looked at her with confusion. "I'm sorry" she
said with her back turned to them. "I was thinking and I am use
to traveling only with Alu not other people who can ask me what I am
talking about." "What where you thinking about?" Sango
questioned. Kioshi gave a sigh. "I was thinking about Sesshomaru
and my human parents. Also my life in the castle with Inu yasha, his
mother and lord Sesshomaru." "You knew Inu yasha's mother?"
Kagome questioned as the light from the sun faded away slowly. "I
was only 6 and I was 7 when she disappeared we soon found she died
some people say it was murder. But she was a very beautiful kind
person. She treated me like I was her own. Heh Now that I think of it
she made lord Sesshomaru put up a balcony for me to go out on in the
mornings. He was a good person but it's his fault. Me and Sesshomaru
will never be in love with each other again." She said as she
walked a bit faster away from the humans as a single crystal tear
fell from her eye and hit the ground.
"What
do you think she meant by that Sango?" Kagome questioned when
Kioshi was out of sight. "I don't know exactly" Sango
answered. "I am sure after she transports her memories into our
heads then we should know the reason." Kagome shook her head in
agreement. "Do you really think she was in love with
Sesshomaru?" Sango questioned. "I don't know" Kagome
said as she put one figure to her chin as if she were thinking of the
answer. "I guess so maybe its possible but its to hard to
believe I mean Sesshomaru looks like such a ruthless man who has no
feelings toward anything or anyone." "I agree with you"
Sango said as she looked at her.
There was a
silence until "AHHHHH!" Kioshi screamed and this made
Kagome and Sango run up "what's wrong!" they yelled in
union but didn't see her. "Kioshi?!?" Yelled Kagome. "Get
off of me you jerk!" They heard her voice from behind the bushes
kind of laughing. "Ow you didn't have to do that!" whined a
voice that belonged to Inu yasha. "Inu yasha, Kioshi?"
Kagome said cautiously as she entered the bushes. "Oh hey
Kagome" Inu yasha said. "What's wrong?" said Sango.
"Wrong?" Kioshi questioned. "Yeah we heard you
screaming we thought it was a youki." "Wrong it was a
hanyou." She said while ruffling up Inu yasha's hair. "Damn
you" He growled. "He tried to beat me up with one of his
sneak attacks but it was a tie" "was not!" yelled Inu
yasha. "Fine I won" She laughed as they both got up. "No
I won!" he complained on their way back to the bone eaters well.
"I won" she continued. "No you didn't" he yelled.
"Yes I did!" She yelled back with an equal amount of voice.
They both shut up when they heard ruffling in the bushes.
Kaede then appeared with her hands behind her back. "Hey
Kaede!" Kioshi said happily. She didn't know why but she loved
the hell out of seeing her old friends again. She couldn't believe
how happy she was. "I see you met Inu yasha's companions"
"yes and so far from what I have seen these people are
wonderful! Look Kaede I hate to ask but I need to borrow your hut.
"Why?" the woman questioned. "Well you figured out
what I meant by the black crescent moon right?" "Umm yes I
finally figured it out." "Well you see Sango and Kagome
want to know why I left long ago." "Wait!" Inu yasha
interrupted. "You're going to show them? Well if you do you got
to show me to!" He said he said insistently. Kioshi shrugged.
"Ok" "You got to show me too" Kaede spoke up "you
sure Kaede?" "Yes I want to know why you left so many years
ago." "Ok Kaede." "You want to join Miroku,
Shippo?" Kioshi questioned. "I will" Miroku said as he
stood up. "No!" said Shippo with his tongue sticking out
again. "Kids" Kioshi sighed.
"Ok
umm where Alu is?" She questioned. Miroku pointed in a direction
where her grey wolf was playing with Kirara. This brought warmth to
her heart it had been so long since she could see Alu happy and
acting like a pup again not doing work for her. She gave a sigh and
called her over. "Alu!" She yelled. The wolf soon stopped a
trotted to her side. "Alu you need to do me a big favor."
She had said as she got down on her knees. "First you got to use
your power to make me and everyone else in Kaede's hut fall asleep.
Also after that you and Kirara if Sango agrees watch over Shippo and
take care of him. Then I promise you will have a whole week off doing
no work what so ever promise." Kioshi then stood up and began.
"Shall we go?" They all shook their heads in agreement and
followed her to the hut other then Inu yasha who was right besides
her talking to her.
"Go to the hut."
Kioshi instructed everyone. As she grabbed hold of Inu yasha's hand.
"Come here Inu yasha I got to tell you something." She said
as she pulled him through some bushes in the dark woods. "What
is it Kioshi?" He questioned not even being able to see her
face.
"Inu yasha tomorrow I got to warn you of something."
"Tell me now Kioshi." "I can't" Kioshi struggled
to get out in a worried voice. Inu yasha grabbed hold of her
shoulders as his eyes adjusted to the dark. "Look what I will
tell you tomorrow you might hate me for a very, very long time. I
want this time for me and you to have a good up lifting affect in my
life and yours. Ok Inu yasha? Can you understand? I need to tell you
this but not yet." He nodded his head to her. "Good. Let's
go" she said with a smile. They made their way threw the bush
and made their way to the hut.
"Ok every
one" she said as she entered. "Sit in a circle and I will
be in the middle." Every one did as they told. "Ok first
Sango would you mind if Kirara would watch over Shippo till this was
done. And then Alu could take over?" "No I don't mind."
"Ok good ummm Shippo go outside with Kirara and stay close till
Alu comes and she will watch over you ok?" "Ok" he had
said in an understanding voice. "Great" soon Shippo and
Kirara left the hut. "Ok now here is the basic rundown how this
is going to go. First Alu will stare in my eyes and I will fall
asleep don't worry about me just keep still after a few moments you
will see a flash of light and you will also fall asleep. You will se
me as a child Inu yasha and everything in my life on fast forward
until it stops completely to the part of my life I want you to see
ok?" "Ok" they all said in union. "Any
questions?" "Umm Will it hurt?" Kagome asked. "After
this you will most likely have a head ache because from the memories
you're not use to and that will hurt you for awhile but other then
that everything should be fine. Ready?" "Yes" she
heard out of a few people. "Good. Alu" Kioshi instructed.
"Remember look after Shippo." The wolf didn't answer but
she knew she had understood. "Go on." Alu's eyes then grew
to a deep black as Kioshi stared into them. She had then dropped to
the floor. Her flash backs began. She had seen her parents dieing
when she met Inu yasha, when her and Kikyo built that hiding place.
When she use to do Kaede's hair. When Kaede was first born and she
was a baby. How she use to hug Inu yasha's mother for the balcony. It
then suddenly stopped when she saw herself. A bit older from those
times.
