The Tale of A Demon
By Melkoshi!
Oh my gosh, I am so super sorry, it's been taking me so long to finish my story. ; It's so hard to write these days! But anyways! This chapter is kinda boring…but it also kinda was needed for some plot…anyways,
I do not own any of the characters that do not belong to me. Characters, such as Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Shippo, and Naraku all belong to the creator of Inuyasha. Mioh, Miako and the rest of their family, belongs to my best friend Miako. Melkoshi, and her family belong to me. If I left something unsaid, forgive me.

No one's POV
"So this is the cave you lie in Korosu? How pathetic…" He said in an evil tone, as he walked through the beginning of the cave. Shortly after, he stopped at a barrier. "I guess Rakonou knew what he was doing after all." He said, smirking as he held a ruby out in his hand. As the barrier's light shined off of the ruby, the reflection broke the barrier.
"What a pathetic defense... If anyone who had this gem came in here, they'd be able to walk right through." He said as he continued on his way down the cave. After a short while, he came upon the end of the cave. At the end was a young female chained to the back wall. She seemed to have been there for decades as of the condition of the cave, but she lies there…almost as if in eternal sleep.
"Korosu…I've finally found you….Heh" He smirked as he once again held out the ruby. "Korosu! I command you to awaken!" He shouted, his smirk turning into an evil grin. The young female slowly began to open her eyes, and lifted her head slightly, to gaze upon the ruby he held in his hand.
"Heh…Rakonou was such a fool…such an easy way to awaken you now…" He stated as he began to approach the female, but just as he went to grab a hold of her face, a barrier stopped him. He withdrew his hand quickly, and hissed slightly.
"I guess Rakonou wasn't as much as a fool as I thought…" He muttered, as he looked upon the female…Korosu, bound by chains to the wall. The legend states, that this very female caused thousands to die in a single day. But her own father, Rakonou, placed her into eternal sleep. And to keep her from awakening once again, he took her soul from her, and placed it into a ruby and separated the two. Never would the two be rejoined, or else chaos would reign over the world.
"Who would have known those legends would hold truth to them after all. If I remember correctly, there was a spell to release her…" He thought as he tried to free her from her imprisoned state.
"'To those that seek the truth, they must turn to the past. To those that seek power, they crave evil. And now, I seek freedom, I crave to be released!'" He said in a clear tongue. Just as he spoke that last verse, a glow formed around the chains that bound Korosu to the wall.
"'Korosu, I command your release!'" He shouts, finishing the spell. Just as he spoke, Korosu's chains broke, freeing her. The release caused her to drop from the wall, landing on her knees, holding her arms in front of her for support.
"Korosu…I've released you…You now belong to me…Look at me and obey me!" He shouted at her. She slowly looked up before speaking in an emotionless voice "and…who is ye?"
He chuckled slightly before responding, "Who am I? My name is Naraku.".

Rel's POV
So.. After 50 years…she's returned hasn't she? After 50 long years, Melkoshi finally returned. Heh and I thought that she had died. Oh well, at least this way she'll die by my hands. However.. It makes me wonder, what really happened to her 50 years ago.. She was supposedly dead, however no body of hers was found, and our mother had gone missing apparently too.
I sigh as I sit up. I was lying on top of the roof of my so called home now…it wasn't long ago that I had came here…as I had sold myself to a young demon by the name of Naraku for power…Power is all I need, and with power, I'll be the ruler of this land one day! Then everyone would have to bow down to be and obey ME!
I noticed something approach, and I looked towards the gates of the castle. The gates opened, and two people, my master being one of them.. And another riding on horse back walked through. They dismounted and began to approach the main castle. The other person is covered in cloak - I could only slightly see their face. I leaned over the edge looking down, noticing this.. Person wasn't human…and was a she…and she sure had a sense of a demon on her ..But ..This sense.. It's familiar.. But from where?
Out of curiosity. I went back inside of the castle and made my way to the entry room. Where I ran into my master and his visitor. Like always I bowed down to my master, saying "Welcome back my lord." Like I always do, once he returns.
"That's enough Relasouno. You may rise now." He says, I nodded my head and stood up. Looking over at the young woman with him, I began to grow more curious, as this woman had the same sense I used to get from my father…who was also a demon.. But this sense is different for every demon.. So why am I getting it from her?
"Relasouno, best not to stare." He says in a low tone. I blink, and look away from the woman. Who is she? I thought to myself, and as if he was reading my thoughts, he said. "I know you're wondering who this is…Korosu remove your cloak." And just as he said so, she pulled the hood back, and pulled the cloak off of her shoulders. Showing a 6'7'' tall woman, wearing ripped black clothing, old gloves and boots…that have been stained with blood. She had dark purple hair and the eyes of a soulless human.
"Korosu?" I muttered to myself. Naraku looked at me and nodded. "Yes Relasouno…She is Korosu…I'm sure you've heard of the legend…"
Legend?...Korosu…Wasn't that a demon my father put away? But…he said that was only a myth!... but… wait… .If it's true then….she's my half sister?!
flashback
"Daddy! Tell us a story please?!" me and my sister ran up to our father, begging for him to tell us one. He laughed and gladly did so.
"Do you two want to hear of a tale that happened to me?" He asked us, and we both nodded our heads excited. He happily laughed once again as he knelt down. He picked me up and sat me on his knee, my sister sat down on the floor next to him.
"Once along time ago, I had fought a very terrible demon." He started.
Melkoshi rudely interrupted repeating "a very terrible demon, daddy?"
Our father nodded his head and continued. "Yes, a very, very terrible demon. She had killed over 1000s within single days!" me and my sister both gasped at that. "But, with luck, I was able to stop her! I had separated her soul from her body, then imprisoned her soul inside of a ruby, which I sent to be hidden away. It's been said the ruby now lies behind a huge waterfall!" he continues.
"Daddy, who was the very evil demon?" I ask. He looks at me, hesitating for a moment before answering.
"The demon…Her name was Korosu…Sadly…She was my first daughter…." He says.
Melkoshi rudely butted in once again, "YOU MEAN I HAVE A OLDER SISTER?!?!" She shouts and almost stomps the floor….man she prides herself of being the first born so much it's pathetic!
"No, no hunny! You are the first born in THIS family…Remember how I am over 400 years old…so I could have many families over time. Yet..I only had 3 children total. Korosu is one of my past children, who..Sadly turned out too evil for her own good." He starts calmly. Melkoshi sighs at that of relief…what a little brat!
"Daddy, what happened to Korosu?" I ask, curious as to what had happened to her.
"Oh yes that's right, I didn't finish. Oops" He says putting his arm behind his head, laughing before continuing. "Anyways, after putting her soul into the ruby and hiding it. I had to do the same with her body. I had put a spell over her, so that she'd never wake up again. I then sealed her inside of a cave using my magic spells. She still lies there to this very day!" He finishes, moving his finger up words in a positive manner.
"This is all true, daddy?!" me and my sister ask at the same time. And he nods. "Do you think your old dad would lie about such?" he says laughing. Our mom hears the conversation and butts in at that one point.
"Rakonou. You know that's only a legend!" Jensumi, our mother says. Our father looks over at her, laughing slightly.
"Dear, it really did happen!" He says in his defense. Our mother glares at him slightly and folds her arms.
"You said the same thing about being the one who trapped Ryoukotsai!" She snapped at him. He looked down slightly, but then put on a happy face.
"…Okay, maybe I do tend to make stuff up once in a while, but dear! This one is for real!" He stated once again in his defense. Our mother just sighed and replied with, "Right…".
end flashback
Could this woman really be that same demon my father referred to all those years ago?! But how?! He said that she was under an unbreakable spell! How could Naraku break that spell!? I thought to myself as I stared at Korosu in disbelief. There is no way she could be..That same demon!
Naraku smirked by the look of my expression. "Now now Relasouno, why so stunned? Shouldn't you be happy? There is another member of your bloodline now…and this one has not turned her back on you…much like your family did. " Naraku says, as his smirk turned into a grin. I look at him, why..Why would he bring up such?!
"That's..That's not true! You don't know that!" I shout at him. He just shakes his head. "Tsk, tsk, tsk Relasouno. It's not my fault you don't want to face the truth..Isn't it true that the last words you heard from your sister were, "why don't you just leave!? I'm sure the family won't miss you one bit!" which was the cause for you to take revenge on her? And try to murder her?" he says grinning madly. I take a step back and stare at him…how…how could he know that?!
I fall to my knees, and look down. "I'm sorry my lord…I just..don't want to remember such things…"
"It's all right Relasouno…this time anyway." He says, I look up at him and nod my head as I rise. He is oddly being more forgiving than normal. I wonder if Korosu has anything to do with this… Naraku then turns and faces Korosu, as he pulls out two shikon jewel shards.
"Korosu, extend your hands and give me your palms." He commanded her. She looked at him and does as commanded. With no emotion, no soul as if….wait! My father said something about taking her soul from her…is she still souless?!..She must be…
"Korosu, to make you more powerful, and to let you have some freewill, I grant you two jewel shards…however..Lose these two shards and it's your head." He says as he then violently stabs her palms, placing the jewel shards within her palms. My eyes never looked away once as he did so. I could see blood running off of her hands from the wounds. After a moment Korosu raised her hands of her own free will and looked at them.
"you…stabbed me?" she asks as she stares at her hands. Naraku laughs as he replies, "So the jewel shards effect you do they? Hopefully you are only able to speak and think. But not show emotion or disobey me. " he says. Korosu nods her head. Naraku then looks over at me. "Relasouno, show Korosu to her quarters. She'll need to know how to get around the castle so stay with her until she's used to her surroundings, understand?" I nod my head and bow down to him once again. I then look at Korosu and then turn and begin to walk slowly. She gets the idea and follows me.
"So, do you remember anything from before you were awakened?" I ask as we begin walking down to her quarters. She shakes her head slightly. "I only remember a little..But that is it…"
"you must have been asleep for a long time." I say in reply, placing my arms behind my head. "How long was I asleep anyways…?" she asks. I turn around and think….
"well..I don't know for sure but I'd say one or two hundred years." I say in reply to her question. She stares at me but nods her head. I turn back around and walk to a empty room. "This'll be your quarters it's not much but yeah. It's good enough for you." I say as I face her once again. She nods her head as she walks inside of the small room.
"Master Naraku told you to stay with me till I was used to everything, isn't that correct?" She asks, I nod my head. "Then wouldn't that mean you'd have to sleep in here aswell and be by my side till I adjusted?" I think for a moment but then nod again…This'll be a long week won't it?
Meanwhile, at the old village
Melkoshi's POV.
"I..Can't believe it…Melkoshi…After all this time..You're finally back." Mioh says, as he held onto me tighter. I of course returned the embrace. I looked up at him after a moment, and saw a few tears running down his face…Mioh's…crying?
"Mioh…" I begin to say, as I pulled out of his grasp, as I wiped one of the tears off of his face. I smiled as I said "Are you..Really crying over me?" Mioh looked at me, as then smiled. "It's just..I can't believe, you're here..After 50 years….I had almost given up hope after so long." He then hugged me tightly once again. Then he asked, "..Why did you ever leave in the first place?"
I looked down at that…I don't know honestly why..I just did…but how would I ever get him to understand that? "I'm..Sorry for what I did Mioh…I honestly regret it with all my heart…" as I said that, Mioh pulled away form me and looked at me. "Melkoshi..I'm not asking for an apology…I'm asking for the reason why you ever left." He says, I look away at that as I reply… "I don't..Really have a reason…But that doesn't matter now, as I'm here, I'm back now." I say facing him halfway trough that. Mioh stares at me for a moment before standing up and walking past me before stopping.
"Melkoshi…I don't know what to tell you but…it does matter. Do you know how many years everyone spent looking for you? Do you know how many years I was just hopeing you'd come back and everything would be normal again?..I'm sorry but..I can't forgive you for all that you've done…I mean..Leaveing one day without a word and not coming back for 50 years? Do you actually expect things to be normal after that?..If you do..I'm sorry but..You're wrong…" He says in his calm emotionless voice..But I guess that I put him trough a lot… I turn around and face his back side as I speak.
"Mioh…please..Understand that…" I begin to say but Mioh cuts me off. "No, you try to understand this. I had you promise me, that'd you wouldn't leave before I left, remember that promise you made me?! Well you broke it, and I'm not about to forgive you for it." He says in a angry tone. I stare at him honestly unable to think of a response to say to him. I look down at the ground as I felt tears once again form in my eyes…have I honestly messed everything up, so much that even Mioh won't forgive me?
After a moment Mioh looks back down at me and knelt down next to me. He then grabs ahold of my chin and forces me to look at him, as he does so a tear escapes and falls down my face. Mioh's expression changes a full 100 as he sees this. His emotionless face and stone hard eyes turn into a soft cheerful face, as he smiles slightly as he wipes the tear with his thumb.
"I'm really sorry Mioh…I honestly don't know why I left…I just did…" I say once more, hoping he'd understand. I honestly do regret leaving..And I wish I could do it over again..I honestly do…
"Melkoshi..I am sorry for snapping at you like that but..I still can't forgive you for leaving..Even if you are sorry..It doesn't change the past or what has happened…." He says as he still holds my chin in his palm. Staring straight into my eyes.
"But..Why? Why can't you forgive me…?" I ask, maybe I am out of line for asking this…but…I want to know why… Mioh lets go of my chin and looks away before he begins speaking. "…Melkoshi…do you honestly think you'd be able to forgive me if I left for no reason? Made you worry sick for years? Made you think I was dead for years? Would you honestly forgive me for putting you through that? I doubt you would…and that's what you did to me…" he says all in one breath, his voice full of emotion…I made him go through so much…now I understand why…
I looked down at the ground after a moment of staring at him. I spok once again, "I am really sorry for making you go through all of that…because of my foolishness…" I say, hoping that maybe, if I say it enough he'll give in. Without even turning his head, he replied, "You may be sorry…but it still doesn't take away all the pain I felt through all these years…" and with that he stood up and looked down at me.
"Why don't we head back to the village. I'm sure everyone would be happy to hear your back for good now." He say, slightly smiling as he extends his hand, offering to help me up. I look up at him and smile as I take his offer. I then grab ahold of his arm and hold onto it as I rest my head on his shoulder. Before Mioh could say anything about it, I spoke up. "Please..Just for one last time, let me hold onto you like this…just once more." I say as I close my eyes as I hold onto his arm. I could tell Mioh was blushing slightly from this. I can always tell…
"Alright, just don't make a habit of this, okay?" He says, I nod my head as we begin to walk back to the village. Maybe…after a while of me being here Mioh might forgive me over time…I hope so anyway…however, as long as we are still best friends, I can't complain…as long as I'm near him I'm happy…
As we continued our way to the village, I often looked up at Mioh from time to time. He was always smiling whenever I looked up at him on the way…I wonder..Did he enjoy me hanging off of him like this? I smile at that thought. I mean..If he didn't like it..Why would he allow it? I open my eyes as I thought that. We're almost at the center of the village. I wonder if the others were able to get through the barrier?
I then see Kagome and the others at the gate, I shout out to them and wave to them as they look over at me. They inturn run up to me.
"Melkoshi! We finally found you!" Kagome shouts all happily, but then notices Mioh who I was still clinging onto. "Melkoshi..This wouldn't happen to be the same guy you told me about would it?" She asks me, I proudly nod my head as I reply "Yep it sure is! Guys meet Mioh!..But of course Inuyasha you already know Mioh." I say, laughing slightly through that.
Kagome looks at Mioh slightly before whispering to me "You are really lucky Melkoshi..He's such a cutie!" I blush as she tells me this and laugh slightly before saying "you think so?". She nods her head and I laugh slightly.
"So, you two still a item? Or just friends now?" Inuyasha asks. Mioh and I look at one another, I end up blushing, which causes Mioh to blush slightly aswell. Mioh coughs before replying to get everyone attention "We're just friends now Inuyasha." Inuyasha gives him an odd look as he replys. "Then why are you letting her hang all over you like that?" he says as he points to my arm wrapped around his. Mioh sighs before answering "and whats so wrong with it? I personal don't see any harm in letting her do so." Inuyasha gave up the argument after that…I wonder…if Mioh's girlfriend wasn't around..Would he and I become a couple once again?
"Excuse me but. Just WHO do you think you are?!" I heard a young female shout , I look over towards where the shouting came from. I saw a young female approach us. Who is she?
"Mioh..Just WHO is this?!" She shouts at Mioh, angrily. Mioh sweatdrops slightly as he replies "This right here is Melkoshi. I'm sure you've heard of her." The girl just glares at me, before shouting once more.
"Oh..You mean this is the girl that broke your heart those many years ago? Then why are you letting her hang off of you, like a dog does to a piece of meat?!" she shouts once again, angrily. But teasing at first.
"Kasumi! That's enough! You have no right to talk like that!" Mioh shouts at her quite angrily. Glaring at her in turn. Wow..This was Mioh's girlfriend?! Man..She's quite mean…or jealous…whichever..
"I DO have the right to talk like this! SHE'S hanging all over YOU, and if you've forgotten, I'M your girlfriend NOT HER. So I should be the one on your arm! NOT HER!" She shouts one last time, except this time, it's the last straw. Mioh sends her a death glare before shouting back at her.
"Will you just shut up?! You have NO RIGHT to speak to Melkoshi in such a disgraceful way!" Mioh shouts at her one final time, winning the argument.
"FINE THEN! I'll talk to you later then, Mioh. We'll finish this up later." Kasumi says as she then turns her back to us and begins to walk off. Mioh sighs after she's gone. "Man..Why do I even put up with her?"
"That is a very good question, why do you?" I ask him. He looks down at me and blinks, and doesn't reply..I wonder…if Kasumi keeps up hating me will he break up with her? I slightly grin at that thought. If only…
Later that evening
"You mean we can stay here for awhile?!" I ask happily as Kagome and the others nod. I practically jump up and shout happily but I restrained myself from doing so. I was able to convince the group to stay here for a few days. Yay! I had offend them to stay over at my old house, which wasn't in that bad of shape, thanks to the people of the village, they kept it from going to ruin.
"I honestly don't see why not. Maybe we could get a few leads on the jewel, or Naraku even." Inuyasha says, and Miroku nods in agreement. I smile happily just happy to be able to stay here for a bit.
"Oh if it's alright, may I stay the night over at Miako's home? She invited me early but I didn't know if we would be allowed to stay so I didn't tell her anything…" I ask the others. Inuyasha just sighs as he nods his head before saying. "Sure go stay over at her house…just don't get intimate with her brother while you're over there." My eyes widen as Inuyasha spoke. "Inuyasha! I'm not like that!" I say in my defense.
"Yeah…right…I've seen what you and him did before. So don't tell me you're not like that." Inuyasha says, as I lower my head…damn him…he was always spying on me…can't believe he SAW such!
"Kagome..Inuyasha's being mean to me again!" I complain to Kagome. Who of course heard the whole conversation and rewarded Inuyasha with a "sit"…there is now a big hole in my floor cause of it.
"Speaking of Mioh..Melkoshi whats the story between you and him?" Miroku asks me. I look at him and try to think of how to tell him. "Well um…he used to be my boyfriend…but we're only friends now of course, as he has that Kasumi girl." I say. Miroku nods his head to show he understands.
I grab ahold of my bag that I had brought with me from Kagome's time and begin to leave the house. "I'll be here tomorrow afternoon, so if you need me, I'll be at Miako's till then." I shout back into the house as I begin on my way over to Miako's place. Which is all the way across the village sadly.. I remember walking over that way so many times in the past. I smile thinking about how much me and Miako have to catch up on.
It was almost dusk when I got there. I knocked on the front door, only to be welcomed by Mioh. "Melkoshi? May I ask what you're doing here?" He asks as he stood in the doorway. I happily reply with "Well, Miako had invited me over. So here I am!". He nods his head and shouts for Miako, and shortly after that Miako comes running up, giving me a hug just as soon as she saw me. I laughed as she did so. Same old Miako. She shows me to her room and I place my bag by the door as I sat on her bed.
"I still can't believe you came back Melkoshi!" Miako says happily. I nod my head as I reply "Yeah same here..I mean..For 50 years I've been living somewhere else, then..I just meet this one weird girl who takes me back here..And yeah…it was weird really..But yeah, oh well. I'm back and that is all that matters!" I say happily as I fall onto her bed exhausted.
"Oh by the way Melkoshi. Do you want to win Mioh back from that Kasumi girl?" Miako asks me, I sit back up and nod my head. She continues "well, I'm guessing Kasumi might show up sometime tonight to talk with Mioh. And we can eavesdrop if you like. Maybe if he dumps her, you might have a chance!" Miako says happily, I laugh as I think about what she just said.
So Miako and I chatted for the longest while, it was rather dark out when we heard someone knock on the front door. Of course we could only guess who it was. "Come on, let's sneak around the back and listen from the corner, my bet is that she'll stay at the doorway." Miako says, I nod my head as she and I headed out of her room and quietly walk towards the font door. I am so glad Japanese houses have walkways all around the house, so we don't have to sneak very far. I look around the corner and just as I thought, there was Kasumi talking to Mioh.
"Why are you even friends with her? I mean, really now, she did dump you all those years ago!" Kasumi says as she argues with Mioh once again.
"Just because she did that, you think I'd turn my back on her?! That would be heartless, and besides she's one of my bestest friends!" Mioh shouts back at her, continuing the argument.
"Heartless? If you want to talk about heartless then just Look at Melkoshi! She LEFT YOU for no reason at all! Talk about heartless!" Kasumi says, as her hatred for me grows.
Mioh forms a fist as he replied, "Heartless?! Melkoshi is NOT heartless! You hardly even KNOW her! So don't say things like that!"
"WHY are you even DEFENDING her?!" Kasumi angrily shouts at him, continuing the argument.
"WHY do you keep arguing with me over her?! Is what you saw today making you hate her!?" Mioh shouts at her in return…wow…I don't think I ever saw him defend me so much…
"I can't stand what I saw today! Her hanging all over you, like flys all over rotting meat! How could you even LET her?!" Kasumi shouts once more. This time. Mioh had it, the fist he formed before now had his blades sticking out of it… The only times I see him with them sticking out are when he's real angry…
"THAT IS IT! I CAN NOT stand you any longer! All you have ever been doing is bicker with me over Melkoshi! Well you know what?! If you don't like it you can just LEAVE. Actually you know what, consider yourself DUMPED as we're THROUGH!" as he finished, he slammed the door in her face. I heard Kasumi mutter a 'Why I never!' as she left.
I look back at Miako and quietly ask "think maybe I should confront him in the morning about this?" Miako nods her head as she replys "yeah I think you should, then maybe he MIGHT make you his girlfriend again!" I smile at that, and we being to head back to her room.
Once we made it back to her room we lay down on our sides of the bed."Hey Koshi." Miako starts, I look over at her and nod my head. "How come you don't have a weapon?" I blinked for a moment at her question… "I honestly don't know why I don't have one…" I say in reply. "You really should get one, you can't live out here without one. You of all people know that." Miako says nagging at me.
I suddenly remember something, and grabbed my bag and dug through it. Pulling out my mother's old spell book, and flipping through most of the pages to the last page. Where I lightly looked at the page.
"What are you doing Melkoshi?" Miako asks as she sits up on her bed. "I'm going to get myself a weapon!" I say clearly. "Wha..?" Miako asks, highly confused by my words.
I show her the spell book and point to the text. "Read it, you'll see what I mean". Miako then took hold of the book and was unable to understand a single word. "I'm sorry but…I don't know this language" she says as she slightly sweatdrops. I sigh and read it out loud.
"my mother wrote these last few pages, they say that my father's dying wish was for me to have the 'wand of elements'." I begin. "The Wand of elements?" Miako repeats confused.
I nod as I continue "Yeah, it says here that it was a combination of my father's weapon and his steel feathers- his heirloom to me."
"Then WHY don't you have it?" Miako asks me.
I look at her slightly confused "good question!" I said as I begin to read more. "it says here that my mother sealed it away in fear that I'd become power hungry…but it tells me where to get it!"
"Um yay Melkoshi? I'm sorry for sounding not very happy for you, but for all you know, someone else could have found it by now." Miako says, as she lays back down on her bed. "Well, it's still something I could at least try to find. I mean hey, what could it hurt?" I say as I put away the book and laid down as well. Maybe when Kagome and the others go off again, we can try to find it…
The next morning.
God I hate mornings…I pulled the sheet over my head as the sun rose up over the land. I mutter to myself "I don't want to get up…" of course, wouldn't you know it.
Miako over heard me "But, don't you want to talk to Mioh about what you heard last night?" she says as she tugged on the sheet I had covered my head with.
"But..I want to sleep just as bad!" I complained..I was never good at getting up in the mornings.
"You're ALWAYS like that aren't you?" I heard a familiar voice say, I sat up and rubbing my eyes before I stared at who just spoke…Mioh..What..Is he…why.. Is.. He…?!
"Good morning Mioh!" Miako chirped, greeting her brother. Mioh smiles just as he says "Since we're meeting someone for breakfast I'd thought I'd come tell you guys but... I didn't know Melkoshi was still in bed however…"
"Oh leave me ALONE..You both know I hate mornings!" I said as I stood up and began to get ready for breakfast. "Oh, where are we going for breakfast anyways?" I ask, as I pull out an outfit from my bag to change into.
"Well, I can't really say, as your Kagome friend came over and invited us to breakfast." Mioh had said in reply to my question…wait KAGOME is going to make breakfast? I sigh at that…she's not really the best cook around. Oh well, with her at least I'd get more than rice and fish for meals.
Mioh takes notice as to how I am still in my sleeping attire and turns around. "So both of you get dressed and whatnot then we'll go with Kagome and the rest of her group for breakfast." He says before leaving from the doorway where he stood. I sigh, it's too early to think anything of that… I just want to go back to sleep!
"Oh! Koshi!" Miako chirps as I begin changing. I look over at her as I reply. "Yeah Miako? Something wrong or something?" I ask in a very sleepy voice…I'm tired bite me. Miako then turns and begin to dig through an old trunk. I blink as to what she is doing. But she speaks before I could ask. "You remember that birthday gift I gave you those many years ago, but never finished in time so you didn't take it?" she says, I nod my head and she continues as she pulls out a lump of clothing. "Well, here happy…50 years late birthday!" she says as she hands me the clothing, slightly laughing. I unfold it and look at it. Purple was used as the main color but with bright pink for the edges and the sash. I stare at it in awe for a moment before looking back at Miako.
"I had finished it not long after you disappeared…I was hopeing that maybe when you did come back I'd have it finished and all..And well yeah." Miako said, laughing slightly as she put her arm behind her head. I looked back at the dress I suppose it is and pull it on immediately and tied the sash on as well. I stand up and say "Got a mirror anywhere around here? I want to see how it looks!" I say 100 thrilled. Miako then points behind me and I turn around and look at it in the mirror…damn it looks so…neat!
"I personally think with those blue baggy clothes you had on, this matches quite well with it!" Miako says complementing the ensemble. I turn around and smile as I say "It's totally great Miako! Thank you so much!"
Miako laughs slightly, as she speaks. "You're very welcome…Now come on, we have to go get Mioh and then meet your group for breakfast!" she says, in an odd tone. I look at her and nod. "Oh are your brothers coming along as well?" I spoke as I notice Miako finished getting ready.
"Nope, only you, me, and Mioh are going. They only invited us, and I figured it'd be rude to bring them along…besides Miya got worse in the last 50 years..He hit puberty…so it's not even safe to be around him any longer!" she says, as she stood up, and begin to walk out of the door way. I followed her and we met Mioh in the door way.
"Ready to go, both of you?" Mioh said, as he stared at me…I honestly wanted to just poke him in the face and ask why he was staring, but I'm not that mean. Miako and I nod and we began to walk out of the house.
"Hey Kosh, you know Kagome better then us, tell me, what do you think she'll make for breakfast?" Mioh asked me, as we walked trough the village, to the spot we were supposed to meet Kagome, I suppose.
"Well, honestly, I'd say she'd just feed us food from her time." I say, Miako looks at me and asks "Is food from where she's from any good?"
I nod my head quickly and smile. "Honestly, it's the best stuff ever! They have a lot of different stuff, and most of it is yummy!" I say excited as I thought about it..I had grown a love for fast food… fries… buggers… hot dogs..You name it, I love it! Mioh looks back at me and grins. "From a reply like that, it looks like we're in for a real good time then." I nod my head in reply.
We continued walking till we're at the far end of the village, near where my old house was..I wonder, were we meeting them at my old house? My thoughts we're torn apart as I heard Kagome shout "Yay! You're all finally here!" in a very, VERY happy voice. I sweatdrop slightly at that. Miako whispers to me "Is she always like that?" I nod my head and she sighs…I can already see she isn't going to like Kagome much..I wouldn't really blame her..Kagome can be…very odd at times…
"Well? What are you all waiting for! Come on in!" Kagome says as she looks down at us. I walked in first, and saw all the food. My mouth literally dropped open when I saw it…from stuff like sushi to sandwiches ..To even..Oh my fucking god! Fried goodies! Miako and Mioh followed me in..And joined me in staring.
"Kagome you over did yourself…" I say, basically staring at the food…just staring… I snapped out of it and noticed Inuyasha, Miroku and Shippo just sitting there, waiting for us to sit down…wow, how nice of them to actually wait for once….I bet Kagome forced them to wait…
"Well now, come on! Dig in everyone!" and with that, I reached for the fried goodies automatically. Inuyasha did the same with the ramen Kagome had made just for him I suppose…Miako and Mioh, both stared at the food for a bit, Mioh was the first to try anything, which happened to be the sushi. The moment he took a bite, it pretty much was all his… kinda the same with the fried stuff I suppose.
Miako looked at one of the sandwiches she picked up and then bit it and grined as she took another bite."This is absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for inviting us, Kagome!" Miako chirps in-between bites. I knew she'd like food from Kagome's time..I sure as heck do.
"You're quite welcome Miako!" Kagome says as she begins to nibble on a sandwich as well. I honestly didn't expect Kagome to have this much food…I guess this was like..All the food she brought over when we left her home…oh well, I don't really care..I got good food…
After everyone had had their fill and was just picking at what was left, which wasn't very much…which isn't surprising as with the appetites of the people here. "Thank you so much for the meal Kagome!" I say, 100 full…I can't believe she actually did all of this…I wonder..If maybe she'll like ask them for anything in return now…
"You're quite welcome Melkoshi!" Kagome says, in her normal happy voice. "Oh yes, Miako, Mioh, I wonder, would you two mind if I ask you both some questions?" she asks them. They blink and nod, letting her ask away…I knew there was a catch…
"Do you two happen to know of anything about the shikon jewel?" she asks them..They both look at one another and Miako beings to speak. "Well, I only know of one thing. That in another demon slayer village, that's hidden up in the mountains, the shikon jewel was born. I don't know anything more then that, so I beat if you go there, you'll have a better chance at getting more info. Sorry" Miako states, as she tries to think of anything else.
"No need to apologize, Miako! That is great info right there! Thanks!" Kagome says cheerfully and clapping her hands at the end.
"Is that all you want to know?" Mioh asked her.
Kagome blinked and said, "Kinda, it's the only important thing..But I'd also like to know how this village was made and how you both become Melkoshi's friends." Kagome stated as she tilted her head to the side.
"Well, this village, as you might know, was made by Melkoshi's father, Rakonou Kazea. He was trying to make a place where demons, humans and half breeds could just all live in peace. However, when Rakonou died, Jensumi, Melkoshi's mother took over the village, but with her disappearance, I was the next in line to take over the village." Mioh quickly says, as he sips from his cup of tea before continuing. "To answer your 2nd question, my father was good friends with Melkoshi's father, so in turn, me, Miako and Melkoshi grew up with one another."
"So you all have been friends for all your lives?" Miroku asks. And Mioh nods his head. "Yeah, pretty much so. If not that, I've known her as long as I can remember." He says in reply.
"Why don't you tell them about how you and Melkoshi dated, Mioh?" Inuyasha states,in a annoyed tone.
Mioh blinked, slightly stunned and then sighs. "I honestly don't think anyone would like to hear about that, Inuyasha." Mioh says as he trys to brush off the subject.
"Oh come on Mioh. Why don't you at least brag about how you and Melkoshi aren't virgins any longer?" Inuyasha says, in a teasing manner. Practically everyone was staring at Inuyasha in, either a surprised, or disgusted manner that he brought up such things. Then everyone set their sights on the both of us..Miako and Miroku were the only ones that had disgusted looks however.
"THAT'S why you came home happy that one day isn't it?!" Miako shouted at Mioh. Mioh just stares at her, unable to think of a reply. "You hardly ever come home, and actually STAYED happy..But that one time, you were completely happy for that whole day!" Miako states, completely disgusted. Mioh just lowered his head, ashamed of himself.
"Great, now I can't even look at the both of you the same any more!" Miako says, over reacting completely. Damn you Inuyasha! Why did you have to bring up something so..Personal!
"Miako, please, it's not that bad! And besides, that was a super long time ago!" I said, trying to get her to calm down. But she won't have any of it.
"Well so? You both still did….it!" she says appalled.
I sigh and reply with "Does knowing that one thing, actually change who we are? We're no different than we were 5 minutes ago." I say. Miako thinks on it for a sec. but doesn't reply and just stops arguing…god..Inuyasha you little…fleabag I so wish to hurt you for this now…
"Well, let me just say I'm honestly surprised…mainly by Inuyasha for bringing that up…" Miroku starts. I nodded my head in agreement.
"What? Can't I just speak about what is on my mind!?" Inuyasha says in his defense.
"Well, then may I say… Get your mind out of the gutter!" Kagome shouts at him…which sadly started a argument between then, and Kagome 'sits' him…great now theres two holes in my floor now…
Mioh coughs before speaking to get everyone's attention "thank you for the meal Kagome. But I feel that we must be going now." He says as he stands up, and looks down at Miako who nods her head.
"Yes thank you so much for the meal Kagome, it was great meeting all of you as well." Miako says, politely as she stood up and the both of them begin to walk outside.
I stood up as well and followed them outside. "Why are you two leaving?" I ask them both.
Without turning around, Mioh answered, "Melkoshi, you know how I feel about the subject of what happened in the past, and I feel that if we stayed any longer, only more questions would be asked."
I just stood there for a moment, before replying "so you're leaving just over what Inuyasha said? You know how he is Mioh. He is just a stupid fleabag!" I say, hoping to get them to stay longer.
"My dear Koshi…you so haven't changed in all of these years…sorry but, we must be going." He says as he stops in mid sentence. He turns around and looks at me. "But do promise me this, you'll at least stay here, right? " he asks, smiling at me.
I blink as I then look down. And I replied.. "Mioh..I..I'm sorry but..I can't stay here…"
"Why not Melkoshi?" Miako asks, as she turns around and looks at me. I look back at them as I reply.
"I'm not sure if I told the both of you this..But 50 years ago…I had trapped my soul inside of a jewel…that is why I haven't aged one bit since then…" I say, explaining my situation. Mioh and Miako just stare at me for a moment, before Mioh speaks up.
"..And you need the shikon jewel to release your soul…am I correct?" I look at him, stunned he'd know such a thing, but I nod my head.
"Yes..That is why I cannot stay..As I need to find all the shards of the jewel..And use it so that my soul may be freed…I hope you both understand." I say as I look at both of them, they both smile and nod their heads. "Of course we understand Melkoshi. However, we just expected you to stay here..Since this is…or was your home.." Miako says.
I nod my head as I agreed with her. "Honestly you guys, I'd stay here if I could, but I want my soul to be free…so I must continue with Kagome and Inuyasha to get the shikon jewel…but don't worry, as I'll come by and see you guys whenever I can. Alright?" I say as I make my goodbye for now. Miako nods in understanding. I look over at Mioh who smiles as he speaks once again.
"Alright Kosh. Just remember, that you'll always have a home in this village. Alright, Windy?" Mioh says, as he lightly hit my arm with his fist, in a playful manner . I laugh slightly and nod my head as I spoke.
"Of course, but now I suppose this is goodbye." They nod their heads and say their goodbyes as they began walking back towards their house.
I sighed as I turned around and entered the house again…I wonder…will my soul ever become free?
to be continued…
YES finally! I got the 4th chapter finished! I'm so sorry it's kinda boring, but I didn't really know how else to end it. I got this mainly for the reunion of Melkoshi and her two best friends. It isn't the best chapter, but I think it's kinda the most…random one really. Anyways chapter 5 will have SOME plot..Also a lot of stuff ripped form the Inuyasha anime/manga..But don't worry, it works! ;
