Sry for the long hold up. Gomen nasai!! –bows-
Saki: O god forgive her!
I will try my best!!! O yeah, this is going to be the last chapter. Dun worry, I'm going to put a prologue thing. I'm going to put that up when I finish it all so I won't be pressured that much. Gomen nasai!!!
During another adventure, Inuyasha and co. began to keep walking on the road of life. ( -.-) Out of nowhere a mischievous laugh echoed in the moist air. Ominous clouds of purple formed and rolled into the scene. A low rumble could be heard and the ground shook dangerously. A crack became larger and larger and soon split the forest in half. A tower of tree like roots shot from the ground, a baboon pelt on the top.
"Naraku" Inuyasha hissed. Kirara growled and turned into its large cat form. "Nice entrance" He said sarcastically.
"Hn" Naraku um…. hn'd. He chuckled and announced, "I would like you all to meet my latest demon, Shinigami. (Translation: God Of Death.)
"Shinigami? Meaning god of death?" Miroku asked, frightened.
"Yes monk. Shinigami has the ability of bringing instant death by pushing pressure points in ones body. He can also bring the dead back to the living and control them at will like Kagura. It is nearly impossible to bring the dead one back to life unless you defeat her."
"Her?" Sango and Kagome questioned.
The clanging of chains against each other could be heard. A small shape of a young boy and an older girl formed behind Naraku. A faint glimpse of Naraku's smirking was seen as he disappeared into a bunch of venom wasps. The bee-like demons flew away as the form of the girl and boy took shape. Kohaku was the boy and the girl looked very young but a few years older than Kohaku. She had a pale face and midnight blue hair. Her face was emotionless and her eyes showed nothing but sadness and pain. She was dressed in a slightly tattered crimson kimono with green fireflies around it. Innumerable scars criss-crossed on her face. A deep scar was on her left cheek and was still bleeding a little.
Kagome P.O.V.
Sango looked like she was going to cry. I couldn't help but become saddened myself. The pain of seeing her brother with the bad guys. What is this? Who's the girl? Is she Shinigami? She looks so hurt. I felt so bad for her. I don't know what happened to the little girl but it looks like a lot of things happened to her.
End p.o.v.
"Kohaku…" Sango whispered. She balled up her hands into fists. She fought back the urge to hug him.
"Sango. We will get Kohaku back." Kagome whispered.
"Yeah. Now get ready to kick some asses." Inuyasha called out.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome said in a warning tone. Inuyasha ignored her ramblings and took out his Tetsusaiga.
"Are you ready, Shinigami?"
The ghost-like child nodded her head slowly and took out a scythe from behind her. She twirled it and stopped at a fighting stance. Kohaku prepared is chain-sickle and charged at Miroku and Kagome. (The battle scene starts here. I'm not that good of a battle writer. I might put some more bloody details so be prepared.) Inuyasha charged at the Shinigami and began the sword clashes. Shinigami only blocked every move Inuyasha made.
"Fight me already! You're supposed to be a shinigami?!" Inuaysha shouted.
Shinigami responded by pushing her scythe away from the blade. She used the handle part and knocked the wind out of Inuyasha when it made contact. In a swift move, she sliced Inuyasha near the stomach. She kicked Inuyasha a bit below his neck and he was sent flying a few yards away. Inuyasha grunted and clutched his stomach. He got up and readied himself. Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. The blood seeped through his clothing and dripped on the dirt ground.
Kohaku was swinging his chain-sickle and it caused Miroku's clothing to become tattered in certain places. Miroku's staff blocked most of the hits. Sango swung her boomerang bone and knocked Kohaku away. He landed on his back. He winced and got back up. He unsheathed his sword and balanced himself.
"I'm sorry about this Kohaku." Sango whispered. She took out her own blade and began another sword fight. She wounded Kohaku's arm at last and he fell in pain. Sango stared down at Kohaku regretful. She elbowed him in the back and Kohaku fainted. Miroku bandaged him and put a seal on his forehead.
"The seal will make him heal and become unconscious for a few hours." Miroku said.
"Thank you houshi-sama." Sango replied.
Shinigami had another scar on her left arm. She did not wince at all. Inuyasha charged at her but when he was about to swing his Tetsusaiga, but she disappeared. Kagome searched for her. The ghostly child reappeared behind Inuyasha in the air. She prepared an arrow and fired. As the arrow glowed white, Shinigami glimpsed at it and blocked it with her blade. Then, blood was flying through the air. It splattered all over the dirt. Her gaze shifted to Inuyasha. He smirked as he swung crimson blood of his Tetsusaiga. Shinigami was sprawled on the ground. Her face showed no emotion.
"You are weak. You don't deserve the name of Shinigami." Inuyasha spat out. Shinigami clutched her sword and got up quickly. Anger flamed in her eyes.
She opened her mouth and spoke very quietly, "I was always called weak. I will show them all I am not the one who is weak. They don't know what I have gone through…" She charged at Inuyasha at great speed. "I AM NOT A WEAKLING!" she shouted. Her scythe swung this way and that. A talisman flew towards her back and stuck itself to her shoulder. Shinigami froze at the spot.
"This talisman will freeze any demon at stay in their position." Miroku announced.
"Hn." Shinigami whispered, "Who ever said I was a demon?"
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the pale girl.
"Your human???" Kagome shouted. The girl glared at her and immediately shut her up.
"Are you fools surprised? Because that I have incredible strength, I cannot be human?" She whispered angrily. "I am human and that does not make me weak at all." She hissed. As she ended her sentence she threw daggers at everyone. Inuyasha dodged them all but one dagger pierced his right thigh. Many daggers ripped and tattered much clothing and pierced some skin. Blood leaked out of the many scars and wounds.
"Ayeeee!" Kagome yelped. Three knives had cut her sides and two narrowly missed her and pinned themselves to the trees behind her.
"Kagome!" Everyone shouted. Inuyasha directed his attention back to the ghostly child.
"What do you have against the world? Why are you killing people? No one had done any harm to you before. Why?" Miroku asked the shinigami.
"You ask to many questions." She stated. "I have always been the weak one. Always casted out in the cold. I had to work for how I am now. Everyone had tried to kill me and I wanted revenge. Revenge for all the times I've been bullied. I am always tortured. Nobody understands the pain I have under go." She said emotionlessly. But a small tear escaped her eyes. She quickly wiped it away.
-Shinigami P.O.V.-
'I will not show them my weakness' I thought to myself as I flicked my tear away. 'No one understands me. They won't understand who I am.'
I have always been pushed away. Told weak because I am human and can never kill. I proved them wrong. I will prove everyone wrong!
Shinigami charged at Sango. She swung her scythe madly. Sango blocked her attacks with her boomerang bone and back flipped as the child swung the blade at her feet.
"Sango!" Miroku called out. He hurriedly went towards Shinigami and took out talismans. He stuck them on her back as the girl was running towards Sango. The young monk muttered strange chants and placed his hands in different postures.
"Ken… kokoro" He finished off. The seals on Shinigami's back disappeared into flames.
"Kyaa!" Shinigami choked out a scream. "This pain. Why does it feel like a knife has pierced through my heart?" She looked around dangerously like a jaguar ready to pounce on them. "Monk! How dare you…"
Shinigami rushed to Miroku and cut him across the chest. The monk fell to his knees and laid on the ground unconscious.
"Houshi-sama!" Sango yelled out as she saw him drop to the ground.
"You will all suffer under my wrath!" Shinigami yelled as she laughed villainously.
