okay, now for part two...
The journey to the past.
Kagome woke in someone's arms.
"Inuyasha?" she asked as she looked up, then, seeing the wheathered face above her, the memories came flooding back.
"Oh.."
"It's okay." he said as he brushed a stray strand of hair out of her face.
They were running along a path, now.
She let him carry her awhile, then she insisted that they walk.
"Are you sure?"
At her nod, they stopped and Kouga set her down.
They walked till noon, then she insisted that they eat lunch.
By the time Jaken had caught some rabbits, kagome had already built a fire and was ready to cook.
When they were done, they started out along the road again.
When night fell, they made camp and slept under the stars.
Then, with dawn, They rose, ate breakfast and set out again along the road.
Soon they came to Tokyo, where a festival was being held.
They made a wide path through the crowd, the only people, human or not, that were wearing white.
"They come to the festival mourning" came several excited whispers.
"What are they here for..."
"the tall one is a wolf demon.."
"What is that girl doing with the wolves?"
Kagome suddenly felt the presence of several shards nearby, and strait ahead.
Then, kagome caught the sight of a familiar building, though it looked newer.
"Higurashi Shrine." Said the letters over the door.
"Hmm." she thought to herself
"Kouga, let us stop and make an offering." she whispered lowly.
At his slight nod, she led the way to the door and into the place where the well lay.
She took off her earrings and laid them on the altar, then walked out.
"Kagome?" Kouga asked...
"No." she answered without hesitation.
They continued in the direction of the large castle in the distance.
Soon, they were at the gates and were being observed by three guards, all three humans.
"I am Kouga, of the wolf demon tribe, and i have come to bring this maiden to offer her to lord Damien as a wife."Kouga stated.
"The lord Damien will be pleased." the first one said, then led the way through the gates.
They followed him down a long series of twisting and turning hallways that eventually led to a courtyard with the god tree as it's center.
Kagome caught the sight of Inuyasha and sesshomaru suspended in the air, turned to stone.
Inuyasha was holding a flaming tetsuaiga, and sesshomaru had his claws bared.
Kagome felt sick. They were just there, and she could do nothing about it.
"So, kouga, lord of the wolf tribes, i see that you have brought me a woman. She is fair." Came a voice from all around, then Kagome sensed the glint of jewel shards and determined that Damien was in the god tree.
He suddenly came in to view and she was amazed.
He was around six foot tall, with long red hair that hung nearly to his firm butt. A loose fusha kimono hung about his wiry frame, that, even from here she could tell was built with muscle.
He was almost beautiful, except for his eyes.
They were a burning yellow, shining with death, that sent shivers of fear running down Kagome's spine.
When he walked, he glided, the swords at his side barely swayed.(Imagine a taller Kesnhin in Batthosai mode)
when he reached her, he paced around her, and suddenly kagome felt like she was a peice of meat.
He reached out to touch her and she slapped his hand away.
He laughed, He ACTUALLY laughed.
"She's feisty too." he grinned, "Take her to the house of maidens, i still have yet to make my choice."
Kagome allowed herself to be led away, then, when she was alone, she broke down and did something that she hadn't let herself do in a long time, She cried.
When a noise caught her ears, she stopped dead.
"It is alright, lady, i am only a servant here." came a familiar voice.
Kagome looked up and caught the gaze of someone she thought dead.
"Wh...Who are you?" she stuttered as she looked into the face of the mischevious monk.
"Lady, my name is Miroku, and i belive i was once a monk." he mumbled. then his eyes widened in recognition.
"Ka..kagome...You must go now! Damien will kill you here." he stuttered.
"Miroku, i am only a legend here. i am the fire maiden of the west now." she said, holding his hands in her own. "Miroku, is sango alive as well?"
"I...I dont know." He bowed his head.
A bell rung in the distance and his head turned.
"I must go. tell noone of who you are." he whispered hastily and slipped out of the room.
she spent the night alone, locked in that room.
Then the next morning, she was awakened by the giggling of women.
When she tried the door, she found that it was unlocked, and she went out of the room and into the noise of thirty giggling teenagers.
She saw Ayame and Sazume, then she saw many people that she recognized from her school.
"Hello, i'm Ayame, this is Sazume." said her old friend.
"Hi, my name is Kagome." she said, holding out her hand.
"Hey Zanza, come here for a minute, we have someone to meet you." Sazume called over her shoulder.
soon, A tall man came around the corner. He had black hair, spiked up like it defyed gravity, and he wore a jacket and pants.
"Hmmm, White, eh?" he said as he glanced at her clothes.
"Pardon my rudeness, I am Zanza, the bodyguard of the house of maidens, and i belive you are the woman that the halls and streets are buzzing about. You live up to your reputation, Kagome." he knelt and kissed her hand.
Kagome blushed.
When he left, the others giggled.
"Isn't he cute! He looks like a god!" Came excited whispers.
Kagome's thoughts lingered on Damien for awhile longer.
Suddenly a bell wrang and the others started to leave. Ayame grabed her hand and dragged her after the others and into the feasting hall.
Kagome guessed that it was lunch.
as she sat in her place on a blood colored, silk, pillow, Kagome watched the others as they ate and chatted, then she rose from the table and went back to her own private chamber.
She sat in solitude, enjoying the peace.
Suddenly she realized that she was not alone...
(You know, i could just be my usual cruel self and leave it off right here and go to bed, what do you think?
All: Picking up pitchforks and torches "Do it and die!!!"
Yall do know i have a slight death wish, right?
All: Alright, then we'll tar and feather ya!
YELP!!!!
I think that i'll just continue on with my story and stop it when you least expect it! Nods head )
Kagome hesatantly opened one eye, half hoping it was Miroku, half hoping that it wasn't.
As it turned out, it was someone worse: Damien.
"Yes?" Kagome surprised herself that she kept the little shiver of fear out of her voice.
"I want to tell you before i make my announcement to the others, i choose you as my bride." He said, studying her face.
She was surprised.
"Why did you choose me?" she asked warily.
"You are untamed, beautiful, and everything i want in a mate." he stated bluntly.
Kagome gulped.
"Starting tomorrow, you will be staying in my sweet. I would like to get to know you before i mate with you. I would like for you and i to become freinds before we became lovers." he whispered, then was gone.
Blunt, Damien was, Subtle was a verry different matter entirely.
Sorry, but i have to sleep, but for all you night owls who work, i really don't see how you do it.
"If you can work for a Greek, you can work for anybody." -the lady at Arbys.
This is sooo true, my boss is greek, and he is a total pain in the butt. it takes the nerves of a saint to work with him.
Okay, enough of my complaining, and off to lullaby land for me.....
Snores VERY loudly
