HI! I was watching the movie "Stalingrad," a German movie about the second world war, from a German soldier's point of veiw.
It has nothing to do with romance, but I thought of a great Inu/Kag fanfic anyway. I'm
really sorry about the crappiness of this doc. but I can't seem to keep it formatted.
Gomen. Disclaimer: I do not the following characters: Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango,
Myoga, Kikyo, Kouga, Keade, and any of the Inuyasha cast. The rest of the characters
belong to ME!
Battle Heart, chapter one, Medicine Girl.
In the years of 7089-7102, three thousand years after the apocolypse and the rebirth of mankind, a massive war went on between the united armies of the Irinasians, Paclians, and Igishtars, and the Meccan Empire. Casualties went uncounted, for they soon mounted to unimaginable numbers. In the year 7095, about halfway through the war, the Meccans found a weapon that had the power to knock out scores of troops, innocents, and whatever else. They were delighted in their "present from the Gods" for their goal was ultimate destruction. The weapon disappeared in 7099, and where it was last seen, a diary had been found. It was the only written record of the war, and it was deadly accurate. In the very end, there was a poem,
it read:
When you don't care to live,
They will struggle to save you,
When you fear death,
everything possible will be done to kill you.
When you are drowning in sorrow,
a title wave will come to steal you sanity,
and when your heart is broken,
someone will come and mend it only to break it again.
In the midst of all this,
I cannot understand why,
so many live, with the hope of a better world,
for when sin is washed a way,
it is only reborn in the face of mankind.
February 7th, 7093
"Kikyo! Get me the eril!" yelled Maro. The old woman wiped the brow of the dying officer. He was delerious with pain, and was screaming "SHOOT ME! PLEASE SOMEONE! HELP! SHOOT!" repeatedly. Bombs shook dirt from the ceiling of the bunker as Kikyo ran to Maro' side.
"Here!" The fourteen year old girl gave theeril to Maro and looked at the dying soldier. His lower right leg had been shredded, and the tendons had to be cut off. "Kikyo, give him the eril while I get the knife." ordered Maro.
"Yes ma'am." Kikyou answered. "Please. . .please." the soldier suddeny grabbed Kikyo's hand with ebbing strength. "Please. I don't want to live. W-without my leg, I... won't- . P-p-please, I don't. . .no. Kill me. . .please." He rambled on and clutched Kikyo's hand harder. In shock, Kikyo nodded slowly. Her trembling hand reached to the pack of his neck, and pinched the exact spot she wanted to.
"It. . .it doesn't hurt." The soldier smiled his last smiled, whispered, "thankyou," and went limp.
Just then, Maro returned with the knife. "Kikyo, I saw that, you traitor! Why did you? I could have-
"Look at his face Maro, look." Maro looked, and saw the smile on the man's face.
"Well, smiling or not, Medicine girls that kill their patients are of no use to THIS army!" She grabbed Kikyo's arm and led her swiftly to the captian, who was overlooking the makeshift hospital and smoking a cigar.
"Captain. This girl here-" Maro jerked on Kikyo's arm roughly, "deliberatley killed a soldier, one that could have been saved"
"He didn't want to be saved!" cried Kikyo. "He asked me, begged me to kill him! I had to! You can't just let a person live on like that, wishing they were dead"
"Hold your tongue!" barked the captain. "I WILL NOT be spoken to in such a way! MARO?
"Sir"
"Take this girl to the pits. Have her stand in line with the rest of the traitors and prisoners."
"Sir!" Maro led Kikyo outside the bunker and, dodging shrapnel, ran to the running kam parked outside.
"WHERE YA GOING?" the driver called over the din.
"The prison pits!" Maro yelled back.
"Alright! Get on!" Maro pulled Kikyo into the kam and they sped away, trying no to get hit with bombshells.
MEANWHILE, TWO AND A HALF MILES AWAY
"UNSPEAKABLE!" The Lueteniant Major spat at the young lueteniant standing at attention before him. "It is TREASON!"
"He was going to kill that woman!" the lueteniant protested.
"SHE WAS A GOD DAMNED PRISONER!" The general roared. "YOU DON'T DEFEND PRISONERS! YOU DO NOT ATTACK YOUR OFFICER BECAUSE OF A PRISONER!"
"Wait," said one of the captains. He slyly sized up the young lueteniant. "I think that
this is curable. This man has only a soft spot for the helpless. I know how this weakness can be fixed."
"Hmmmm..." the major rubbed his chin. "I think I know what you are talking about." He
turned and ripped the gold band from the lueteniants arm. "You are hereby stripped of
your rank! Captain!"
"Yes?" the captain came to attention.
"Take this man and put him on execution duty."
"Yessir!"
"What?" the former lueteniant's eyes grew wide. He was escorted away by the captain, on
his way to the prison pits.
THE PRISON PITS
Kikyo, after being dropped off by Maro, was sent into a crowded tent. She was shoved
aside by others until she felt one of the tent poles dig into her back. She looked around
the tent. It was full of "prisoners," mostly unruly soldiers who didn't toe the line, and
Meccans who were captured. But that wasn't all. There were women, and children who
had been caught after invading a town or city. In a corner, Kikyo saw a family, a reunited f
amily. A sobbing woman hugged her two children and her husband. Kikyo felt her throat
constrict at the fate that loomed before these people, and herself.
She didn't have long to wait. By the end of the hour, her and nineteen other prisoners
were being led outside to the execution pits. Kikyo and the others were lined up in the
bitter cold and stood waiting for their death. She cast a glance to her executioner, and
gasped. There, in front of her, stood Inuyasha. His ears (with were like a dog's and
constantly made fun of) drooped and his shoulders sagged as two officers verbally
stripped him down from either side. Kikyo caught the words "cure" and "soft spot" and
realized that Inuyasha had defended another prisoner. One of the officers shoved a GC (a
type of gun) into Inuyasha's hands, and called everyone to attention. Inuyasha looked up
and dropped his gun.
"K-kikyo? KIKYO?" He tried to run to her, but two officers grabbed his shoulders and
held him back, he fought for a while, but eventualy the officers shoved him back in place
and put the GC back in his trembling hands. Calling attention again, the officers stepped
back behind the line of executioners.
"READY!" they called. "AIM!" ALL the soldiers, even Inuyasha, raised their guns and r
eadied the triggers. Kikyo could see Inuyasha pale, and a tear slipped down her cheek.
"Goodbye, Inuyasha." she whispered.
"FIRE!" The gunshots sounded, and the prisoners fell to the ground.
First chapter is out! Hurray! I hope you like this story line. I guess we now know what happens when you watch too many World War one, World war two, and Civil War movies. (From almost every perspective!)
HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
Kam: a type of army jeep.
GC: A gun resembaling a rifle.
Eril: This age's equivelant of morphine.
