Evil Curse of the Dark Priestess, Kikyo Chapter 5
Previously:
Kagome stirred a little. "Sh-Shippo..."
"Kagome!" Inuyasha dropped Shippo, who landed on his butt, and knelt down next to her. "Kagome, wake up. Come on." Kagome was sweating again and whimpering. Shippo crawled over to Inuyasha and looked down at Kagome.
"What's wrong with her? What if she never wakes up? What if Kikyo had that demon do something to her?" Shippo's eyes welled up with tears. "What if... what if..."
"What if I put a curse on her?" came a familiar cold, emotionless voice from the doorway.
"K-Kikyo???.." was all that came out of Inuyasha's mouth. In front of him, Kikyo stood, surrounded by her soul snatchers, staring at him with her usual cold expression.
"Kikyo! What did you do to Kagome!?!?" Sango half shouted, half asked Kikyo. She had risen from the floor and was in a fighting stance, preparing herself for anything.
Miroku stood up from his spot by the fire and walked calmly over to Sango, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Sango looked at him curiously, but didn't let her guard down.
"Kikyo, were you the one who sent that demon after Kagome by the well?" Miroku questioned Kikyo with a serious expression. Everyone turned to look surprised at Miroku, for he had just walked straight up to Kikyo and asked her a simple yes or no question.
Kikyo raised her eyebrows at Miroku, before smirking and flicking away some of her long, raven hair casually. "Why yes, I did send that demon after the girl in the forest, monk. It had all been planned from the start, starting with my meeting with Inuyasha here." She motioned her hand over to Inuyasha, who was listening to her with a shocked expression. "The stupid girl was crying so much, I guess she was too depressed to notice there was a demon right behind her." Kikyo looked down at Kagome, not changing her expression. "Stupid wench. I can imagine what she's dreaming about right now."
In Kagome's Dream
Kagome looked around at her surroundings. "Where am I?..." she whispered to herself.
There was fog and mist surrounding her and she could barely make out two dark figures standing together in front of a tree. She took a few steps forward and gasped as she saw herself standing behind a bush watching the two with sad eyes. She reached out her hand and watched, surprised, as it went right through herself.
"Well this is weird..." she muttered to herself.
Things cleared up and she gasped as she saw Inuyasha and Kikyo standing there talking to each other.
"I can't stand being without you! I think about you every second! I need you, Kikyo!" Inuyasha shouted before running to her and pulling her into a forceful embrace.
"Oh, Inuyasha. I thought you had chosen that reincarnation of mine over me."
"Never, Kikyo. You're the only one for me. My heart belongs to you. I'll never leave you ever again."
Kagome watched herself gasp, and turned around, gazing at the grass sadly. 'Never thought I'd have to see that again... Wait, why am I-'
Scene Change
Before she could finish, her surroundings began to swirl around and she started to get dizzy.
'What's going on...'
She heard a dripping sound and looked around to see Inuyasha and the rest of the group inside an Oni's stomach, dripping with acid. (this tells a little about the last episode, so skip this if you want to) She watched herself hand Inuyasha a little jar with a jewel shard in it and saw him smash it onto the tetsusaiga.
'Wait a sec... I remember this... Oh no...'
The tetsusaiga began to pulsate with uncontrollable power and Inuyasha was struggling to control it. His eyes turned red and he was on the brink of madness. It was too much too watch, and Kagome turned around and stared at the wall of the Oni's stomach. 'Why am I seeing these things again?...'
Scene Change
Before she knew it, Kagome was in the forest by the well and was once again surrounded by mist. (this also tells a little about the first movie so, again, skip if you want to) She gasped as she saw herself chasing Inuyasha towards a tree.
'Oh my gosh... not this...'
She covered her mouth with her hands as she saw herself attack Inuyasha and then make a bow out of pure energy in front of her, and notch an arrow onto it. A single tear rolled down both of the Kagomes' cheeks as the arrow flew towards Inuyasha and pierced his chest.
With Inuyasha and Co.
Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo were all looking shocked at Kikyo, who had just admitted to being the one to send the demon after Kagome.
"K-Kikyo, why?" Inuyasha asked, not wanting to believe it. He had a feeling it was her the whole time, but didn't want to admit it.
"Inuyasha, Inuyasha, Inuyasha..." Kikyo said shaking her head. "Just as clueless as always, I see. If you haven't noticed, that girl is preventing me from taking you to hell with me. She's quite a nuisance and keeps getting in the way between you and I. Things'll be different now though. That girl won't get in the way of us anymore," Kikyo said while looking at Kagome.
"Kikyo! What did you do to her!?!?!?" Sango shouted, clearly worried and upset for her best friend. Miroku and Inuyasha looked expectantly and worriedly at Kikyo, waiting for her answer. Shippo, meanwhile, was sitting next to Kagome, fear etched all over his face. He lifted one little paw up (O.o paw...), as a single tear rolled down Kagome's cheek, and whiped it away.
"I put a curse on her," Kikyo stated simply. "Well, I had that demon do it actually. It's not a very pleasant one either..."
Inuyasha stood up, quite angry now at her vagueness. "What exactly did you do to her Kikyo!?!?!"
"I said I put a curse on her, Inuyasha." Kikyo stated, creepily calm. "She is suffering under her own fears right now. I am forcing her to relive her worst memories, until all she has left are those memories and the darkness consumes her... You can try to snap her out of it, but don't get your hopes up." With that said, the dark priestess left.
Inuyasha growled as she left and then quickly turned to Kagome, kneeling down next to her and pushing aside a few strands of her hair in her face. 'She looks so sad, I wonder what she's dreaming about now...'
"Inu...Yasha..." Kagome whimpered as another tear fell down her face. Shippo reached up to whip it off, but Inuyasha reached it first.
Inuyasha's heart wrenched when he heard how sad she was, and about him. 'She's crying because something happened to me...'
"Kagome... please wake up... come on..." Inuyasha spoke softly to her, surprising the rest of the group, though none of them dared show it, lest he stopped.
In Kagome's Dream
Another tear made its way down Kagome's face as the forest around her started to swirl again. She looked around, expecting another bad scene, and saw herself and one of her best friends, Ayumi, walking down a dark alley, talking quietly. They seemed to be a few years younger.
'Well, this isn't that bad...' She thought and then gasped. 'Oh no... I remember this...'
She watched herself and Ayumi walking, until a bunch of girls, many years older than them, stepped out from the shadows and stood in front of them.
The three girls were all wearing torn jeans and black shirts with matching jackets. The smaller girl looked to be about Kagome's age and the other two were much older.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" The older girls smirked as they looked back and forth between Ayumi and Kagome. The smaller girl just glared at them like she wanted to kill them.
"Um... We'll just be going now..." Kagome grabbed Ayumi's arm and tried to walk around the girls, but they moved in front of them and shoved them back. Ayumi was freaking out and it was obvious how scared she was. "Please, we just want to leave..."
"Not without fighting us you won't, btch!" The smaller girl walked over to Kagome and started pushing her, trying to get her to fight. The older girls followed suit with Ayumi. Kagome made a run for it and dashed around the girl yelling for Ayumi to do the same.
The real Kagome watched in horror as the older girls grabbed Ayumi's hair before she could run and punched her in the face, head, and stomach. If there was anything that could make Kagome cry it was watching her friends get hurt. Two more tears streaked down Kagome's face as she buried her face in her hands, not able to watch her friend get beat up anymore.
Scene Change
The dark alley swirled around and Kagome lifted her face from her hands to see where she was now.
Everything was dark and Kagome looked around to see that she was in a car and it was pitch black outside. To her left, to Kagome's surprise, sat a little 8 year old version of Kagome and a baby in a carseat next to her. Kagome looked at the two people in the front of the car and her heart skipped a beat when she saw her mother and her.... father! Kagome gasped as she looked at her father in the driver's seat.
'No... not this... kami-sama, no...' Kagome had finally realized that she was watching all of her worst memories for some reason, and knew which one this was.
"Daddy, are we almost there?" the little Kagome asked her father, inquiring about the party they were headed to.
"Yeah, we're almost there, honey," her father responded. Kagome felt like she was going to burst into tears of joy when she heard her father's voice, that is until she saw the red light that her father seemed to miss. There was a short silence in the car until an incredibly loud honk was heard and a blinding light passed over the entire family.
"DAAADDDDDYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The truck crashed right into the left side of the car.
Unfortunatly for Kagome's father, he had forgotten to put on his seatbelt when they left.
He smashed through the front window.
Kagome broke down crying. She couldn't take it anymore. 'Kami-sama, why?..... Why?.... Why am I seeing this!?!?'
"Kagome! Kagome, please wake up!"
'Wait I know that voice... Inuyasha!'
With Inuyasha and Co.
Kagome fluttered her eyes open to see a pair of concerned, bright amber eyes staring down into her own. She pushed herself up and looked around to see Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara grouped around her, watching her worriedly.
Kagome touched her cheeks and felt fresh tears all over them then remembered what happened and burst into tears. She dove into the first person she saw's arms, which just happened to be Inuyasha's, and cryed freely. Inuyasha blushed a little and patted her back, comfortingly.
After telling Kagome what happened, the group had a full night's rest and left the next morning to search for more jewel shards.
"So, Kagome. Are you gonna tell us what you dreamed about or what?" Shippo asked as they walked down a dirt road.
"I'd rather not talk about it, Shippo."
"Feh, stupid wench. Can't even mention it without crying." Inuyasha regretted those words soon afterwards. Kagome stopped in her tracks and glared at Inuyasha, before putting on her best smile and spoke in her sweetest way ever.
"Hey Inuyasha?" Inuyasha didn't like how nice she was being and quickly panicked.
"Y-yeah?"
"SIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
