Tale of the last Dragon Master
Chapter Six: Meet Kikyou, the jealous undead miko!
==Kagura's POV==
'This assignment is much more interesting than the last one.' Kagura shudders at the thought of having to follow Kikyou around.
'The young Dragonken is a much more interesting person.' Kagura had been following the group for an entire day. She had watched the group of friends with something akin to jealousy. She saw Youko talking to Shippou while Kagome listened, teaching the kit the ways of the Kitsune. She watched the flirtatious behavior between the Houshi and the Tajiya. She watched InuYasha watch Kagome, with possessiveness. She watched young Tsukasa as he watched the others, with a small smile on his face.
'He looks sad and happy. It's as if he likes spending time with
them, but wants to rescue the girl.' The wind sorceress had come to pity both of the young Dragonken.
'Its not like they did anything to deserve this. Damn Naraku.' That's when Kagura noticed that Tsukasa was looking at her.
'He can't possibly know that I'm here. He would have done
something about it. Damn, if they find out I'm watching them...' When Kagura looked at the young Dragon Mage again, his eyes were on the dragon that belonged to the young Dragon Master.
'Poor thing. What does Naraku want with them?' While she contemplated this, she looked over the other members of the group. The young miko, Kagome was currently in her true form, talking to the two Kitsune, who were genuinely interested in the conversation. The Tajiya Sango and the Houshi Miroku were holding their own discussion whilst the fire neko walked beside them. InuYasha was following the dragon Vahn, lost in his own little world. When she looked back at Tsukasa, she noticed that he had a small, sad smile on his face.
'He looks so frail from up here, like he could break apart at
anytime. Damn you Naraku....'
==Tsukasa's POV==
'Well isn't this amusing. I bet I'm the only one who knows she's
even here.' He'd noticed Kagura was following them a while ago, when he heard a mind voice that did not belong to anyone in the group. He'd almost told them she was there, but stopped when he heard how frustrating it was to be forced to obey Naraku. And how much she pitied them.
'Well, we aren't supposed to know she's there, so I guess I'll
pretend I don't know.' He focused on Vahn again, and heard Kagura's mental sigh of relief.
'She isn't going to attack us, so I can ignore her thoughts.'
"Tsukasa, I want to ask you something. Do you mind?" Kagome spoke up, stepping in beside him.
=Of course I don't mind. What is your question?= He noted that she was very nervous and uncertain.
"How much do you know about Tenshi Youkai, Tsukasa?"
=I know enough to answer most questions. What do you wish to
know?=
"What kind of powers did they have? What kind of race were
they?" She was looking him in the eyes, hoping he knew.
=Tenshi Youkai, in general, had abilities that fell into three groups:
General Abilities, which were shared amongst the entire race;
Class Abilities, which varied among the population; and
Special Abilities, which were very rare. The General Abilities
were flight, Healing, energy manipulation, and empathy. All
Tenshi Youkai had those abilities, and therefore, you have them.
Class Abilities fell into three groups: Elemental, Psychic, and
Spiritual. Elementals had powers in tune with fire, earth, wind,
and water. Psychics had telepathy, telekinesis, foresight, and
teleportation. Spirituals had the ability to see, hear, talk to,
and control spirits. Most Tenshi Youkai fell into either one or
two of those categories. It was very rare to find one with all
three. Special Abilities are powers beyond the others, the most
common being Plant, and the least common Storm. Special
Abilities granted complete control over a certain aspect of
nature. Since we don't know yet what Classes you are, let alone
what Specials you have, we'll move on to your second question.
The Tenshi Youkai were once the allies of the Dragonken, a very
long time ago. They were a very tolerant and forgiving race for
the most part. They had very little prejudice against anyone. It
is a rather grand legacy, Kagome.=
==Kagome's POV==
'Whoa, Tsukasa wasn't kidding when he said he could answer my
questions.' She had been shocked at the sheer number of attributes that her race had. Her head had been reeling when she realized how many powers she might have.
'I hope that the others can help me train them. Otherwise, we
could all get hurt!' She worried over this for a while, when she felt a tug on her soul.
'Kikyou? What is she doing, coming here now?' When she looked over at InuYasha, she was surprised to see that he hadn't noticed her yet.
"Youko, do you smell something?" Youko looked at her and sniffed the air. He then began to cover his nose.
"Ugh, I smell death and ashes, damn that reeks!" Youko demonstrated just how much it reeked by being unable to breath in through his nose. She looked at Tsukasa to check on him, and he was rooted to the spot, staring in the direction of her incarnation, Kikyou.
=Kagome, that's her. The one who looks like you but is not you!
She's the one who hurt Cairi!= Tsukasa was beginning to panic slightly.
"What does she want Tsukasa? Tell me!" She was worried about him; he was becoming more and more upset.
=She wants the rest of her soul, to drag InuYasha into hell, and
she wants ......= Tsukasa trailed off, uncertain.
"Tsukasa, what does Kikyou want? You can tell us!" Sango told him, concerned for her new friend.
"We are your friends, we won't abandon you." Miroku stated calmly, while Shippou broadcasted his agreement. Youko nodded at Tsukasa when he looked his way. Sweating slightly from fear, he took a deep breath and began.
=She wants me. She also wants Cairi. She believes the powers we
possess would help her destroy Naraku once and for all. As for
how she'll use that power, she's going to spell bind us.= Tsukasa was now shaking, literally, with both fear and rage. And to be perfectly honest, so was Kagome.
'How dare she, how dare she, how dare she, HOW DARE
SHE!!!!!!!!!' While she raged silently, Kikyou stepped forward into the clearing. She was wearing her usual red and white miko garb, had her hair in its restraint, and was carrying her bow and quiver. She looked at them all before smiling.
"You've made some new friends I see. Why don't you introduce
them to me, InuYasha? After all, we'll be traveling together." Kikyou had that small smile she was so loved for in her lifetime on. It did not distract them from her words.
"What does she mean, InuYasha? Surely she doesn't mean to
journey with us?" Miroku inquired, while the others all stared at Kikyou, appalled and disgusted beyond words.
"I'm sorry, Kikyou. I forgot to tell them you'd be joining us." InuYasha looked apologetically at Kikyou, and she smiled at him with forgiveness.
(AH YUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!! Gag me with a spoon!)
"Why do you wish to join us, miko? Not all of us are so
forgiving of your crimes as him." Youko had stepped in front of Kagome, and had begun growling slightly. He also pulled Kagome closer to him with his tails. At this action, Kagome started to blush.
'Why is he being so protective of me? InuYasha never acted quite
like this. Is he in love with me?' She became very confused, until Kikyou snapped her out of it.
==Kikyou's POV==
"You have no reason to fear for her safety. I am no threat to
her." She said, projecting calm and sincerity. She then began to look over the rest of the group.
'The only real threat to me is the one called Tsukasa. His power
far surpasses my own. He is the one I need to incapacitate.' She was completely unconcerned about InuYasha or the others. Except for Kagome.
'My reincarnation has finally given up on taking InuYasha from
me. I will take back my soul after Naraku dies.' As she thought this, she heard a sharp intake of breath. She looked in the direction of the gasp. It was Tsukasa.
'I forgot, he can read minds.' While he turned to Kagome to warn her, she cast her ofudas at him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!" He screamed in agony, for those wards were made to force dragons in to unconsciousness thru pain.
"Tsukasa!!" The others, Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Kagome, and Youko ran over to him. Youko caught him before he hit the ground. As Youko lowered him down gently, Miroku examined the ofudas. When he finished, he was extremely angry.
"Miroku, what happened to him?" Sango asked, worried about her friend.
"Those are dragon subduing ofudas that knock them
unconsciousness thru agony. She knew that these would hurt him!" Miroku reached to remove it, only to be shocked.
"No one can remove the wards from his body, except me. You will
let me travel with you, or he will never be free from the pain." Now she smiled at them again, relishing the thought of having Tsukasa under her control.
'I don't need to remove all of them, just the ones they can see.
I can activate the remaining ward at any time I choose. He will
have to obey me then.' She smirked at the thought of having the Dragon Mage's power at her command.
"How dare you..." Kagome had stood up, and was facing Kikyou with her head bowed. She was clenching her hands into fists, enraged by Kikyou's cruelty. Her hair began floating, and she was slightly pulsating.
"How dare you hurt him?! How dare you demand such things of us,
you self centered BITCH!" At that, she raised her eyes to Kikyou's, and they were full of rage.
"What's the matter, Kagome? Worried about your friend? He'll be
fine once the wards are removed." Kikyou taunted, enjoying her copy's anger. That is, until the sky started to darken with storm clouds. When she looked back at her reincarnation, she noticed that Kagome's eyes were glowing a dark, angry blue.
"You will not lie to me, Kikyou. Tsukasa already told me that
you plan to control him. I also know that you want to steal my
soul. I think you should just go to hell right now!" As Kagome spoke, lightening began to strike at Kikyou.
"I don't believe it! Kagome is controlling the storm!" Miroku exclaimed in awe. They could only watch as a wind that would have made Kagura jealous lifted them both from the ground. Kagome then raised both her hands to the sky, and lightning struck them, becoming an arrow and a bow. She drew her "bow", and aimed for Kikyou.
"Heaven's Arrow!" With that she released the arrow, and it hit Kikyou in the chest. She then lowered both of them to the ground, the glow in her eyes fading as the storm cleared.
"Kikyou! Are you alright?" InuYasha ran to Kikyou's side, only to have her lifted out of there by her soul skimmers.
"Farewell, InuYasha. Perhaps we shall meet again." As she said that she faded into the distance, leaving Kagome and Tsukasa unconscious.
"Kagome!!"

"Farewell, InuYasha. Perhaps we shall meet again." As she said that she faded into the distance, leaving Kagome and Tsukasa unconscious.
"Kagome!!"
