Chapter 9+1: Dieties of old
Kagome and Inu rose above the clouds, onto a pathway that lead to a golden castle. They were really close to the castle grounds, about a dozen yards to the gates or so. They began to walk there, and suddenly found themselves right at the gates. Obviously, they had wished themselves to the gate, and their new powers had kicked in, putting them there.
They knew this as one mind. Their minds seemed to be connected as one, even if they were two bodies. They wished themselves all the way up to the castle, and found themselves there instantaniously. Then, they knocked on the door, one clawsed, fur-covered fist, and one dainty flesh-covered fist.
The door was opened by a rather large man, with big muscles and a loud, booming voice.
"Nice of you to come! Glad to see you made it so fast. The older ones didn't discover their powers so quickly. All the people you see here are all older dieties, ones of past ages. Indeed, you two are to be the new ones, the new dieties. As young as you both are, we will remain here until you have found all the rules, and know how to rule. Then we take our leave. Then, when you die, and the new ones come, you will no longer have the powers you do now, and will soon abtain. You will eventually cease to exist, however. That is inevitable. Everyone you see here should be back by the time you get done ruling, so that we can teach the new ones. Thus is how it will be, and how it has been for as long as Time itself"
Then, as the booming voice died away, they felt a wave of energy passing over them. Using their linked minds, they figured out that they were getting all the powers that the others had. All the old god's and goddess's powers came into them, and they were powerful, some of them. They knew how to use these powers,and how to rule. Then, the old dieties wandered away, to visit new places, view the galaxy, wherever, whenever, it didn't matter. they could get there. That was all they could do, though.
