The Tale of A Demon
By Melkoshi!
OMFG I am really really really sorry! T.T I am so sorry for not updating in so long! I am SO sorry! And this chapter is kind of short...but meh, I felt like leaving it there! XP so yeah.. Again really sorry.
Please note that I'm most likely made the Inuyasha gang OOC...so sorry about that, but meh, this is mainly why I only do my own characters. Then they CAN'T be OOC. XD
Thanks you all for reading my story so far, and my reviewers aswell! :)
Oh yes.. I don't own any of the Inuyasha characters, only my own, I don't own my friend's character's either. o.o;;

Kagome's POV
"Class, we have a new student today. She just transferred here today. Everyone please welcome..." The teacher looked at the young female. The girl just looked up at him and finished his sentence. "Melkoshi Kazea."
What?! How come I sense a Shikon shard now and here?! Wait no! A WHOLE Jewel! It's coming from that girl!...But theres something different about the feeling....It feels different....Could she have the Shikon Jewel? Or a copy?!
"Oh yes that's right. Why don't you take a seat next to Miss Higurashi over there." He said, pointing in my direction to the empty seat next to mine. After a moment I smiled at the girl as she walked over to the empty seat.
"So your name's Melkoshi huh? My name is Kagome, nice to meet you!" I said to her as I turned my face towards her. She only nodded her head, but then pointed at the teacher before replying "We shouldn't be talking when class has already started."
What? Oh, she mustn't want to get in trouble for just saying a few words in class. I guess she must take those rules to the max, a rule follower. Oh well, I can talk to her at the end of class. I want to find out more about this girl, mainly about that jewel...
Class went by quickly, a pop quiz but I was prepared (For once!). Though, I often looked over at the new girl...Um Melkoshi I think her name was. She looked panicked and confused throughout the whole thing.
I sigh as I walk past my locker towards her. If this girl somehow has a jewel like the shikon jewel, maybe I can at least get some answers about the Shikon Jewel. Just as I walked behind her, she took a step back, bumping into me.
"Oh sorry! I wasn't....Oh it's you again. Sorry about that. I don't normally watch where I'm going." She said as she put her hand behind her head. She sure seems nice, maybe we can become friends.
"Oh Melkoshi, before in class, didn't you say your last name was Kazea?" I asked her, I'm also wondering this cause there was someone with that name on the test today.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" She asked as she opened up her locker and swapped her books for the next class.
"Oh no reason, but I remember studying about a guy with that name, he was mentioned on the test aswell. Are you related to him? Rakonou Kazea?" As I said that name. She slammed her locker shut. Did I say something wrong?
"How did you know that he was my Fath...Er I mean my ancestor?" She said as she turned around. Why is she acting like it was no big deal now? When she slammed her locker like that when I said his name. Also did she nearly say father instead?! Could she somehow be a demon?! Nah, I doubt that but still...She gives off that senses of the Shikon Jewel and everything.
Suddenly the school bell rang, class is about to start. Melkoshi turned to me before saying something. "Well, I guess I'll see you after school Kagome. I don't think we have anymore classes together." I nod as she runs down the hall to her next class. I sigh. Man, just cause of that stupid feeling, I'm all worked up about this.
After that run in with Melkoshi, I couldn't concentrate on anything else. It has me really thinking. Did she come from the well? She has a whole jewel much like the shikon and even called Rakonou her father! I know that wasn't a mistake! He was alive 500 years ago, and she couldn't have lived since then! No way no how!
"Kagome!" I heard someone shout. I turn around and see Melkoshi; I smile as she runs up to me.
"I wanted to ask you something, Um, I had another test today. And I didn't do very well on it..." She says as she holds out the paper. An F? Man that's bad, and in math!
"And you were hoping if I could help you?" I ask her, she nods. I sigh, I got another test in a few days! But I guess maybe I could help her, I might find out more about this Jewel of hers as well.
"Sure I'll help you! You can come with me home today and I'll help you out." I said as I smiled. She smiles too before replying "Really?! Thanks Kagome!"
"Think nothing of it! It's the least I could do!" I say smiling. Really it is the least I can do, since I want to ask her some questions. Like why she reacted the way she did to my simple question about her last name.
We mostly talked on our way to my house. Mainly about what Melkoshi's failing and having trouble about. I don't mind helping her out at all. Plus, maybe this way I can sort of study a tad more then I have to!
"You're sure I can come in? I don't want to be a burden..." Melkoshi says, as we enter my home. I shake my head as I pulled off my shoes at the door. "You're not a burden at all Melkoshi! Like I said, think nothing of it! Now come on, my room is this way!" I said, as I showed her the way to my room. I put my backpack down by the side of the door, and I reached into it, to grab some books. When I felt something odd...like the shikon jewel sense I have... oh no! The jewel shards! I forgot about them!
"Um Kagome..." Melkoshi asks, I turn my head towards her as I stare at what she's holding. The jewel shards! What will I do now!? I can't tell her about them! She'll think I'm nuts!
"Kagome? Answer me please, are these the shards of the Shikon Jewel?!" She asks in a clear voice. I gasp out of shock. She knows about the Jewel?! But, but how?!
"You know about the Shikon Jewel?!" I ask her, she looks away but nods. Whats going on here?! Was my thoughts about her were correct?!
"I know about the Shikon Jewel. And can tell you're the reincarnation of Kikyou as well..." she says still not looking at me. How does she know about Kikyou? Or anything like that?!
"Melkoshi...You're not from this time, are you...?" I ask her. She looks at me and shakes her head. I knew it! I knew it! She acted too weird to be from this time! But...Did she come out of the well? Or has she been here longer?!
"Kagome, I came to this time 50 years ago...After something horrible happened... " She says after sighing as she sits down on my bed. I nod my head as she continues, obviously skipping several events. "I then trapped my soul in a fake Shikon Jewel. I had heard that Kikyou could see the jewel, and I'm guessing you can as well?" I nod at that, and then she places her hands over her heart, sighing. So that's the feeling I was getting! Her fake shikon jewel must have been made to be nearly identical to the real thing, so that's why I could see it.
"But why would you do such a thing, Melkoshi? Trapping your own soul for what reason?" I ask her. She sighs before replying. "I had to, to test my theory about the dry well. I wanted to leave that place and I did. Seeing my best friend dead, pinned to a tree by my father's killer as well, just made me want to take action." Wait, pinned to a tree? That sounds like the same thing that happened to Inuyasha!....Maybe she knew Inuyasha!
"I see. Just out of curiosity who was your best friend, Melkoshi?" I ask her, she sighs again. This must be hurting her to open up like this. She replys after a moment. "Since the jewel shards are here, I'm guessing you've gone through the well. If that's so, then I'm sure you've seen him. Since the well wasn't very far from the tree..." Wasn't far from the tree? What does she mean? Does she mean that he was trapped to a tree near the well? Wait! She means Inuyasha! He wasn't very far from the tree when I first saw him pinned! She going to love this! I'll tell her Inuyasha's alive!
"Melkoshi! Inuyasha's alive!" As I said that she faced me for the first time through out this whole conversation.
"You're lying! I saw it with my own two eyes! Inuyasha was pinned to that tree! The arrow went thought his heart! It killed him!" She said as a tear appeared in her eye. I shake my head as I grab her by the shoulders.
"Listen to me, Inuyasha's alive! Kikyou only put him under a spell! But I somehow released him from it, he's alive! I just saw him yesterday!" I say to her. She looks up at me before replying. "You're not lying? He is alive? After all this time?" I nod my head and she sigh. Why is she sighing?! She should be happy about this news!
"This is just great! The reason WHY I left that place was cause Inuyasha died! Now that I found out he's alive and was only under a spell...Gah! What a fool I was! Trapping my soul just to go through the well..." she shouts as she forms a fist. Okay maybe I shouldn't have told her....
"Oh, question. How did the Shikon Jewel reappear? And shatter for that matter?" She asks looking at me. I look away at that. Great, now if I tell her that I was the one that broke the jewel she might get angry with me!... Oh what to do. I sigh, before replying "The shikon jewel reappeared inside my body. One day I was dragged down into the well by a demon. Which took me back to the feudal era...And being back there with the jewel was dangerish.. And well, a Crow demon took it and I broke it trying to get it back..."
"YOU broke the jewel?!" She shouts. I just nod, sighing. Great now what? "I didn't mean to...Plus I'm trying to get all the shards back, so that the jewel can become whole again." I say, still looking away. Maybe it was a mistake telling her about the jewel...Though, who am I kidding?! She basically has the right to know about it...since it did come from her time...
"You're trying to put the jewel back together?" She asks, much calmer than before. I look at her and nod. She then smiles, before speaking once again. "Then, if it's not too much trouble...May I come along and help you collect the rest of the fragments?"
"You want to go back to your own time? But I thought you said you never wanted to go back there." I ask her. Not that I'm against her joining me and Inuyasha, but it seems odd she'd want to go back to a place she basically risked her life in leaving.
"I never said that. I said that I couldn't stay there any longer once I saw Inuyasha basically 'die' right in front of my two eyes. But that was along time ago, and I miss...my friends and family..." She says, looking away at that last part. This must be hard for her to talk like this, opening up after so much time of always hiding herself...at least I'm guessing anyways.
"Well, then! It's settled! Your coming back with me!" I shout happily. She looks at me, smiling before nodding. "Thank you Kagome. Maybe...No hopefully, my friends are still alive...and maybe...he still might love me..." She says after a moment, softly saying that last part to herself rather then to me. I smile, it's great that I can help her like this. I mean if I hadn't of said anything to her, or even meet her, she of might just keep on living the way she has for the past 50 years. I feel sorry for her for that...I couldn't even think of how it'd be to stay the same age and keep her secrets well, secret.
"Melkoshi, may I ask you something?" I ask her, she nods and I continue. "Why did you leave anyways? I mean, was Inuyasha that important to you that seeing him like that made you give up everything?" She looks away at my question. Did I ask something I shouldn't have?
"I don't know... I just felt.. I don't know how to explain it...I just had to get away from there...as far away as I could...Even though I regret doing so...Since I left him behind..." She answers my question. I can tell from her eyes that this hurts her greatly... But who is this guy she keeps on speaking of?
"Melkoshi, is the reason you regret leaving is cause you left someone really important to you behind?" I ask her another question. Maybe I shouldn't ask her so many, but I just want to understand. She looks back at me, slightly smiling...yet it's a sad one.
"Yes there was...His name was Mioh...He was my best friend while I was growing up. He protected and always cheered me up. He was a true friend..." She says, trailing off at the end. Sounds like she likes this guy a lot. But from whats she says, he's only a friend. But didn't she say before something like 'Maybe he still loves me'?
"Was he only a friend? Or were you two a couple?...Or did you only like him?" I ask her another set a question. She sighs before answering. "He was my boyfriend... I loved him so much...Yet he never told me he felt the same way..." As she spoke, a tear fell from her eye. She loved him yet he never said he loved her back? Poor Melkoshi...That really has to hurt. And yet she still hopes he feels the same after all this time.
"Now, Melkoshi cheer up. Next time I go over to the feudal era, which will most likely be this weekend. I'll bring you with me, and we'll see if your friends are still around." I said, as I smiled at her. She looks at me, and smiles, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Now anyways, why don't we start studying! I mean, I for some reason I can't understand math at all! I also have a bad memory when it comes to history..." She says, laughing slightly at the end. I laugh as well, before pulling open one of my math books and start helping her.
That weekend
Melkoshi's POV
Oh my god.. Oh my god.. I can't believe it.. I'm finally going back home...After all this time...
Though why am I thinking like this? Before, I never wanted to see that place ever again.. But now...I just only want to go back there and continue my old life...or what was left of it.
"Melkoshi! Come on, hurry up!" Kagome shouted from the door way. I sighed as I finished packing all that I needed. "I'm coming! Hold up!" I shouted back in reply. I lived on my own basically; I was adopted at one point in time. But ran away since it seemed they were close to discovering my secret.
As I made my way to the doorway of my apartment, I sighed. I'm most likely never going to come back here.. I have no reason to...I almost never made any friends here...and I never could. Since they would always find it odd how I didn't age...since that one day.. I've stayed 13 years old, my body keeps growing, but I never age. I still look like I'm 13...even though I'm almost 65 years old...hard to believe yes, but even with my demon blood, I should look at least 16 at this age.
Kagome had come over to help me pack and such. Throughout the past week, we had been talking nonstop. She keeps on asking me questions about the past and the jewel, well I however find it nice to have a friend for once...someone to talk to.. Someone to open up too...
I shook my head, clearing my thoughts. I am going to change that! I'm going back home!
"You sure about this Melkoshi? I mean.. From what you've told me you had some very bad times back then...do you really want to go back?" Kagome asked me as we walked down the street towards her house. I nodded my head in reply. "I'm very sure.. I mean...in this time I can't have a friend or family for maybe a year, since I don't age...they get freaked out and I always run away...but now.. If I go home, I'll be able to live like before... In a happy life."
Kagome smiled as I finished that and nodded her head. We made it to her house in about 10 minutes. Kagome walked into her house for a moment and grabbed the backpack by the door. Guess she left it here since it would have been a pain to take over to my house then back...man that thing is HUGE.. What does she have in it? I wondered at the size of it...
"Come on! The well is in the hidden shrine." Kagome said as she pointed towards an old looking shrine near the back of her house.. I remember this...I remember this place. 50 years ago, a priest found me and my mom outside of the shrine...I was basically a wreck and my mom was too. It's odd how I only remember this now...
I shook my head, clearing my thoughts once again. No need to think about that, I'm going home! I followed Kagome into the shrine and looked down at the well... I gulped as she looked back at me. "Come on, on the other side is Inuyasha and a few of my other friends. I can't wait for you to meet them!" I nodded my head and walked over to the well and looked down.. It seems so deep.
Kagome ended up pushing me a little so I'd jump in.. You can't blame me for being scared now! Jumping into who knows where like that! I shut my eyes tightly as I fall, but I didn't...on the other side I opened my eyes...I landed softly on the ground, the bottom of the well to be exact. Suddenly Kagome appeared out of no where, she was glowing slightly...was that what happened to me?
Kagome then starts to climb up the side of the well. I blinked and she only looked at me, before saying. "Come on, it's only up the well. So start climbing!" I nodded my head, as I dug my hands into the wall of the well. I passed Kagome, but stopped shortly of the top.. I didn't want to do this alone...I don't want to face my past alone...
Once Kagome caught up with me, I looked over the edge of the well top. Climbing over it, sitting down on the ledge...it's all like I remember...luscious green forest as far as you can see. Clear skys...clean air...the most beautiful song birds singing...it's all the same...
"Is it familiar, Melkoshi?" Kagome asks me, I looked up at her and reply, nodding my head. "Yes.. Just like I remember..." she smiles at that, and then points to way towards a path. "Come on, this is the way to where my friends are waiting for me."
"Who are your friends anyway, Kagome?" I ask, as we start to walk towards what looks like a small village. She smiles and replies, "Oh, well Inuyasha of course. A cute fox demon named Shippo. And a monk, that goes by the name of Miroku. Though I have to warn you, Miroku has 'wandering hands'." Kagome laughs at that last part. I simple nod my head as we make it to the village.
I noticed all these people staring at me, as I walked in. I guess they're used to Kagome. But not me...figures though...I even got the same looks from MY old village...I sigh. I hate being stared at like some freak.
"Ah Kagome! Kagome's back!" I heard a young boy say. Upon further inspection, I could see a tail.. That must be that fox demon Kagome was talking about. Shippo was his name, I think.
"Yes Shippo! I'm back! And hopefully for a long while too!" Kagome shouted as Shippo ran up to her, and jumped into her arms. Kagome laughed as he did so. I then heard footsteps, and as I looked up, I saw the same boy I knew as I was growing up.. Long white silvery hair.. Red outfit. His face as rude as always, with the most golden eyes I could remember.
"Finally! Another day and I would have came after you! What took you...so long...?" Inuyasha says angry, till he opened his eyes and stared right at me as he finished his sentence. Kagome blinked before answering. "Well sorry, but I had exams you know!"
"And I see you brought back a friend lady Kagome." Said a person.. No a young handsome man, as he walked out of the hut. He had long black and purple robes, long hair tied back into a pony tail and the most beautiful smile I've seen in the longest time.
"Ah yes, oh sorry! Melkoshi, this is Shippo, Miroku and of course you already know Inuyasha!" Kagome said, pointing to each of them as she spoke their names. I waved and said hello. Inuyasha was the first to react before anyone else.
"Melkoshi...? Can that really be you?" Inuyasha asked, as he walked close to me, and sniffed. God that creeps me out when he does that.
"Yes it's me flea bag." I said, using that insulting nickname I gave him along time ago. He growled and hit my arm with his fist slightly. Man he sure hasn't changed.
"So. I take it you and Inuyasha know one another?" Miroku asked, I nodded as he walked closer I felt a blush appear on my face.
"Well, I'm Miroku. And it's certainly nice to meet such a beautiful young woman like yourself." He said, in the most charming tone, smiling as well...I couldn't help myself from blushing even more.
"Melkoshi, even though we just met, would you mind if I asked you of something?" Miroku asked, as he put his arm around me. I blushed even more and nodded my head. He smiled, and grabbed my hands asking "Would you do me the honor of bearing me a child?"
"Kagome, he's at it again!" Shippo shouted as Miroku got a tad more closer to me. Kagome only sighed. "Man what a pervert...after meeting a girl, he always puts those same moves on them.. What a lech." Inuyasha said as he sat down, in front of the hut.
Wait he does this to other girls?... I pushed him away at that thought, and slapped him, causing him to fall onto the ground.
"My my...you sure can hit." Miroku said as he got up holding his face where I slapped him.
"Well duh, genius she's part demon you know." Inuyasha said, Miroku turned and looked at me after Inuyasha said that.
"My, well you don't look demon...other then your golden hair and green piercing eyes of course." Miroku complemented me once again. I blushed like before...god what is it about him that I like.. Wait.. Why DO I even like him, sort of?.. He's a lech! A pervert!...but.. He's SOO cute...Gah
"Well, come on, lets get going! I can sense a shikon jewel shard!" Kagome shouted, as Inuyasha nodded and we started walking towards the way Kagome sensed the jewel shard...though Miroku kept walking very close to me...I sigh at this...
"You know Melkoshi.. You never answered my question I asked before." Miroku said. I blinked and asked what he ment. He smiled and said "when I asked you to bear my children, you never answered...does that mean your thinking about it..?" He smiled a cheesy smile. I stared at him in disbelief.. What a lech! Just cause I only slapped him, he thinks I didn't answer!
...noticing I didn't reply to him at all, only thought. I noticed his hand slowly moving down my backside...
"How dare you! Get away from me you....You pervert!" I shouted at him, slapping him as I do so. He once again went flying ...I sigh...at least I have friends now.. And I'm back home.. Just got to put up with a stupid pervert.....
two days later
"Kagome are you sure there are jewel shards around here?" I ask looking around at our surroundings. She just nods and points in front of us the SAME way we been walking for the past two days!
"Melkoshi, I'm sure of it! I can sense shikon jewel shades coming from this direction! Trust me!" Kagome says in her normal cheerful voice. I just sigh and mutter to myself "that's what you said when you helped me study for those exams last week..."
"What was that?!" Kagome shouted, obviously hearing my muttered words. I look up, surprised. And wave my hands around a bit replying "I.. Oh! Um it was nothing!" in a panicked voice. She just makes this snobby humph like sound and looks away, back towards the way we're heading. I sigh.. That was close.
"Melkoshi, a word of advice. Say those things in your head. Or else Lady Kagome will have YOUR head." Miroku whispered into my ear. I giggled slightly but nodded.
"Careful Melkoshi. Don't let that pervert get too close to you now." Inuyasha said, in a annoyed voice. Me and Miroku kind of.. Grew into liking one another, over the past couple of days and Inuyasha hates it...so he has always been annoyed at whenever Miroku is even NEAR me...it's odd. But oh well.
"Yeah yeah, I know Inuyasha. " I say in reply, as I notice where we're walking towards. There is a HUGE forest in our sights ahead. "Lady Kagome, are you really sure about this? The jewel shards are within that forest?" Miroku asks. Kagome just sighs and nods.
As we continued walking, once inside the forest, it was nearly pitch black. The trees had blocked out almost all light. But we could still see.. Slightly. Something seems so familiar about this place...I can just feel it...but I don't know why I think this...
"Hey whats that? It's like some sort of light..." Kagome points ahead, I can see the light too. I wonder what it is.
"Maybe it's a barrier? Isn't there a legend of some forbidden village in some deep forest?" Miroku asks. My eyes grew open wide at that...I remember now.. The village I grew up in.. I almost never left it.. And when I did.. I was always inside of a deep forest.. And my father had put a barrier around it to keep unwanted guests out.
At that thought, I began to run. I ran towards the barrier. Maybe.. Just maybe.. If it was my village.. Maybe.. Mioh might still be there!
"Melkoshi! Wait! Where you going?!" Kagome shouted, as she and the others tried to keep up. But I ran through the barrier. Stopping dead in my tracks as I realized I went through it.
I lifted my hands up, and stared at them, my body was glowing from the barrier, but it shortly stopped. I looked back and saw Inuyasha and the others catching up with me...Never looking back, I ran once again.. Hearing a BIG electric noise.. Most likely Inuyasha running INTO the barrier, unable to pass...
This.. This has to be my village! Why ELSE would I of been able to go through the barrier UNharmed?! I smiled, knowing that, I'd most likely will see my friends again...Miako.. Amara...Mioh.. Most importantly ..Mioh...God how I've missed him.. I only hope...that he and the others are still alive.
As I continued I stopped shortly, as I saw a big opening coming up, I slowed down to a walk as I continue towards the village. There was a big wooden fence around it, it seemed.. With a gate, to keep even more out...Was this really my village?...Maybe I'm wrong
"Stop! Who goes there!" I heard a young female shout. I looked up, and saw no one, but replyed. "My name is Melkoshi, I mean no harm, please let me pass."
"Melkoshi you say your name is?" I heard the same girl reply. I nodded my head and replyed with a yes. Then all of a sudden the young female jumped down, from the guard tower on the otherside of the fence.
"You got to be kidding me. What kind of sick joke is this?" The young female asked. I blinked, not understanding. "Um.. Excuse me? But what do you mean?" I asked, she just glared and grabbed the sword that hanged from her belt.
"That name! It's got to be a joke! Only one person has that name! And.. You. Are. Not. Her!" The female, shouted, as she pulled her sword from it's scabbard.. I took a step back.. What does she mean?
"Now tell me! Who are you really! There is no way you could be Melkoshi! Melkoshi died over 50 years ago!" The young female shouted once again. My eyes widen in surprise...whoever she is, she doesn't know me...but she knows of a Melkoshi that died 50 years ago...That.. Must have been what people thought what had happened to me.
"I told you! My name IS Melkoshi! Melkoshi Kazea!" I shouted in my own defense.
"Lies! All lies! The Melkoshi I heard about died 50 years ago! There is NO way you could be her! She's buried at the edge of the village! So ha! Your nothing but a pest!" The young female stated. Suddenly, I heard the voice of another young female. "Annie! Stop!" The other young female shouted, as she jumped down from the tower. Looking up, she stared at me.
"But why? She claims she is Melkoshi, and I know Melkoshi is dead! So why should I stop?" The girl named Annie questioned this other female. The other female shook her head and smiled before replying. "You only think that cause you never knew Melkoshi...I knew Melkoshi...and this...this is Melkoshi."
"What?! But Miako! My lady! What are you saying?!" Annie asked with a look of surprise taking over her face.. But wait WHAT?!.. This girl.. Is MIAKO!? My MIAKO-chan!?...But.. She looks nothing like the Miako I knew!...
"Hush! I'm saying you're wrong, this is Melkoshi! I know my own best friend when I see her!" Miako replies, Annie only just nods her head and then bows before her and then at me, I could hear her say sorry when she did so and she returned to her post.
I looked back at the other girl.. The one who's supposed to be Miako...But how...how could this be Miako.. The one I grew up with?
"Melkoshi...I can't believe it! Is it really you? After.. All this time?" She questioned. I blinked and just nodded. All of a sudden the girl ran up to me, hugging me tightly.
"You don't know how many years we searched for you... everyone then thought you had died after we couldn't find you for years...only two of us never gave up hope..." Miako said, as she continued to hug me tightly.
"..You mean...Mioh is still alive..?" I asked. She pulled away and looked at me, shocked. "Melkoshi, come on! Like Mioh would die in 50 years!..This really is you..Isn't it?" she looks at me strangely, releasing me from her hold, and extending her hand. OH! The hand shake! Ha! I then grab her arm in return, and we pull eachother into a tackle hug like thingy, then do the weird hand thingy and repeat the chant we came up with.
"See, told you it was me!" I said, as we finished the handshake. She only laughs and then orders for the gates to open. We walk into the village. Looking around I notice how so much has changed...it seems everyone was either, a demon slayer, or makes weapons or armor.
"As you can tell so much has changed since Mioh took over the village." Miako says, my eye widen in shock at this.
"Wait, MIOH is now the leader of the village!?" I question, in disbelief.
"Yeah. Since he was the next one in line. With your WHOLE family gone, your father left the village to our family, and Mioh is the first born son, and with our father gone as well. He was the one to take the place of village leader." Miako says, as we continue to walk.
"I see...then, does that mean he also has a girlfriend too?" I ask. Normally the leader always has girls fighting over him and has to pick one..Mioh ALWAYS had girls crawling all over him from the start.. Now.. I'm sure, he's gone from me for good.
"Well sort of. He does have this one girl, Kasumi. But..She's a real brat if you know what I mean..But he likes her and all...so yeah. But hey! You're back now! Maybe he'll dump her and go for you!" Miako says all cheerfull and smiling like she was back then, I smile at that. It's great to know Miako hasn't changed much... on the inside anyways.
"Do you happen to know where he is? I want to see him SO badly now!" I said, as I looked around, we're in the middle of the village if I remember right. Miako nods and points toward the way to the old cliff side.
"Normaly, around this time of year, he's always at that old cliff you always went to...back when everyone thought you were dead and gave up hope, they made your so called grave up there...And from time to time. Mioh goes up there and I think, he prays for your spirit...if you really were dead of course." Miako says...this hits my heart badly...
"Miako, thank you so much! I'll be back later okay?!" I shouted as I ran towards the old cliff side.
"Wait! Where you going?!" I heard Miako shout back at me. I look back and smile, stopping only for one brief moment to reply. "I'm going to find Mioh!" and with that, I continued running....I have to find Mioh. I just HAVE to! It's been so long, finding out he was still alive and in the same village, after all of this time, has been the best news I ever heard!
I quickly made my way up the hillside, up to the old cliff I used to always go to. After a few moments I made it to the top. I then saw Mioh, standing there, at the edge next to what looks like a tombstone. I just stared, unable to believe that it's really him.
"It's been along time hasn't it, Melkoshi?" He says as I stood there. Was he talking to me? Does he know I'm standing right here? I gulped as I tried to start walking over to him, but my legs wouldn't move. He continues speaking.
"It's been 50 year..50 years since I last saw you. 50 years...since you died." He says, his voice becomes full of sadness as that last part. My eyes widen in shock...Was that tombstone supposed...to be mine? He really doesn't know I'm right here...
"Melkoshi, every year, on this day. I have come here to say how I miss you so much. For 50 years, I have hoped that you'd just come back to me." He says as I listen to him. I could feel tears form in my eyes. He really missed me, didn't he? I was such a fool to do such a thing then! I can't believe what I did!
"But now. After all this time...I hate to say this , but Melkoshi...We need to say goodbye..." he says as he places a single black rose on the tombstone. He then sighs before continues. "After 50 years, I find that you're really gone. Gone for good...So it's best to say goodbye. "
I could feel the tears in my eyes sliding down my face. I can't believe this, why am I not running over to him, and hugging him, kissing him even?
"Melkoshi, this really does hurt me to say this. But I need to let you go....I've held onto your memory for the longest time...now I need to move on." He says as he places his hands together, praying a short prayer. Then continues. "I'll never forget you Melkoshi...But now, I need to say goodbye... So this is goodbye Melkoshi...Goodbye forever my dear Koshi." As he said that, a gentle breeze picked up, he looked towards the horizon as the wind blew gently across the land...
I could feel the tears in my eyes falling as I watched... "Mioh..." I said as I was finally was able to take one step and finally speek, that's all that mattered... Him knowing I'm here.
Mioh turned quickly as soon as I had said his name. His eyes a first were emotionless, but then changed to shock, and surprise. He just stared at me, in disbelief. After a moment of both of us just stareing at one another, I took one step forward, holding my hand out as if I were reaching out to him as I said his name once again.
"Melkoshi..?! Is that really you...?" He said as I stood there. I smiled as I then ran up to him, hugging him as I felt tears run down my face once again, but these were tears of joy. He wrapped his arms around me, holding me close. Oh how many nights had I wished for this, to feel Mioh's arms around me, holding me once again.
"Melkoshi...You're alive...But how? It's been 50 years since anyone saw you...how can you possibly be alive?" Mioh questioned as he held me. I looked up at him with nothing but joy in my eyes. "Don't ask how, just be happy that I am." I said as I kissed him. He at first didn't return it, but then did after a moment, pulling me closer to him.
Is this for real? Is it a dream?..No..no it's real! It's not a dream! I'm finally back...being held in Mioh's arms..The arms of my love. Kissing him softly, as the moment seemed to never end...oh how I wish this moment would never end...but then..It'd only be a dream..And this..This is reality.
