A few days later, in Melkoshi's POV.
"Melkoshi! Hurry up! We're leaveing!" Kagome shouts to me, as I quickly gather my stuff…After what had happened at breakfast a few days ago, Mioh hasn't spoken to me…Nor have I saw him either…Damn you Inuyasha, if you made him hate me, I'll skin you alive!
"I'm coming, wait up." I shout as I stood up, picking up my bag I had just stuffed with everything I needed and began to walk outside where they were waiting.
"About time." Inuyasha says in an annoyed tone. I just glare at him. I haven't spoken to Inuyasha either, since that day. As I am still mad at him. Kagome sighs and looks at me before asking. "Have you said goodbye to all your friends here Melkoshi?"
I look at her, but then shake my head. "No I haven't…" I say, as I look away slightly. I know I should but…I don't want to make things awkward.
"We'll wait then, as you really should go say goodbye…we don't want another "Melkoshi's gone! Everyone go look for her!" thing again." Inuyasha says, remembering what happened in the past… a lot of times. I sigh and nod my head, as I begin to walk off on my own towards Miako's house.
I continued walking till I came upon her house. I saw Miako sitting on the front porch.. Or steps, whichever you wish to call it. Miako looks over in my direction and smiles as she then runs up to me, hugging me. "Melkoshi, long time no see!" She says as she releases me and looks at me. I laugh, man she sure hasn't changed at all! "Miako, it's only been a few days!"
"So? It still was along time!" Miako says, in a teasing manner. Man if she thinks 3 days is along time.. Then me leaving will be rather bad…but I can't just leave and not tell her.. Nor can I stay here…
"Miako, I.." I start, as I look away slightly. She looks at me, her excited look and smile on her face disappears. "…I'm leaving." I finish, as I still look away.
"..Al..Already? But.. You were only here for a short time.." Miako asks. I look at her and nod, I can tell she's sad about this, heck I am aswell. It's been 50 years without seeing my bestfriend, and now, only after 3 days, I gotta leave again…
"..You'll come back.. Won't you?" She asks again. I quickly nod my head, as I couldn't hold myself from doing this any longer. I then hug her as I reply. "Of course Miako! I would honestly stay here if I could…I want to stay here!" I say as I begin to start crying slightly…whats coming over me…I don't know…but.. This moment.. Is just so sad….
"Melkoshi… if you want to stay here.. Then why don't you do just that?" she asks me, as she hugs me in return. "…I have things I need to finish…I honestly wish I could stay here tho…" I say as I then pull away from her embrace, and look at her. "But…once that's all over.. I'm coming back here…for good." As I said that, her face lit up, and I smiled. Once that day comes, I'll come back here.. And live my old life again…I'll be happy once again…
"Well..Then..Good luck, with whatever you have to do. I can't wait for the day when you are back here for good however." Miako says, as she smiles. The sadness in her voice practically gone. I nod my head and smile as I reply. "I can't wait either Miako…as when that day comes.. I'll be living my old life again…"
"Miako…where's Mioh?" I ask, as I need to also say goodbye to him… Miako looks away slightly as she replys. "He left..Two days ago…for a job"….he left…? Without saying goodbye…?
"How could Mioh leave..Without saying goodbye?" I ask..Mainly to myself..Miako looks at me as she beings to explain. "After what happened at breakfast, that conversation with Inuyasha. Mioh pretty much left the next day. It was like, bringing up what happened hurt him some how."
"I..I see…" I being to say. …Mioh was always one that could never express his emotions properly..He was always the strong type…if something hurt him, he would hardly let anyone know… so no wonder he left..But..Still…without one single goodbye…?
I snapped out of my thoughts as I then looked at Miako once again. "Well, I got to be going…I'll see you again Miako, you can count on that." I say as I make my leave, Miako nods her head and waves to me as I begin to walk back to my group.
Meanwhile, at the slayers village,
Relasouno's POV.
"This is the village?" I ask, disappointed by the sight of it. "Yes…just as Master Naraku stated." Korosu replys. I sigh..This is so going to be boring…I sigh again as I withdrew my sword from it's scabbard and begin to approach the village.
"Remember the top slayers were ordered to Master Naraku's castle. So these villagers should die easily." Korosu says as she fallows me. I nod my head as I sigh..I hate fighting those weaker then I am. Shortly after we reached the gates, we were attack…those foolish people. The number of villagers was surprising, however, how weak they were wasn't.
"This village is too weak." I complained as I then took out another villager, who was stupid enough to attack me. Slashing another in the end by swinging my sword in a circle.
"Don't forget the goal..The jewel shards" Korosu says, reminding me of our duty at hand. "Yeah, yeah Korosu. I know" I said inreply as I sighed as another human's life ended in a blink of a second. It's so sad that these humans think they can ever live against us…Such fools.
"I think that's the last of them" I said, as I had looked around. Bloody bodies can be seen everywhere. Korosu nods her head as she pulls her sword back over her shoulder. I sigh and place my sword back into it's scabbard. This was so bloody boring…
"Remember the goal Relasouno…The jewel shards" Korosu reminds me once again. I sigh, I dislike it that she nags at me like so…I look around for a bit, and then spot the shrine house and begin to approach it. I walked inside and spotted the jewel shards in the middle of what looked like a mini shrine… "Such a waste…humans have no need for jewel shards…" I complained as I reached for them, taking them as I then took one for myself, and placed it within the side of my neck…Naraku will never know.
"The trap is set…let us head back… dear sister" Korosu says. I nod my head, as me and Korosu being to leave the village. I turn around once we got far enough and take one last look at the village…such a waste… I sigh as I begin to walk back towards our master's castle…the trap is set…we must make sure the trap is sprung…
"Dear sister, why has thou taken a shard from what we colleted for ones gain?" Korosu asks me as we continue to walk. I look back at her as I place my arms behind my head. "Well, I deserve some kind of reward…I mean my sword touched human blood..It'll reek for weeks now…" I say complain in my usual way.
"I don't think that was a smart thing to do…" Korosu complains, about what I had done…"Oh come on…whats one shard!" I said in reply. Really..What is one shard? Korosu decides to give up on that. I sigh again..Really what harm could taking one stupid shard do? Get me in trouble..? Oh boo hoo.
We continued walking for nearly 4 hours…our master's castle was actually a real one, I'm actually not very surprised as to why he took the form of the young lord however… I sighed as I remembered the task at hand…Master Naraku had ordered the demon slayers to this castle, he had set a trap and had them killed off. However, one of them, wasn't ment to die. If she doesn't die after what had been done to her, we were suppose to explain to her what happened at her village..But lie and tell her Inuyasha's group did it, thus having her attack Inuyasha's group!
"Relasouno, we're there." Korosu says, snapping me out of the thoughts bubbling in my head. I look up and noticed we were approaching the gates of the castle. We were thought of as personal servants to the Lord here…Lord Kagewaki, the Human our master took the form of. I sigh, sometimes there is just too much to remember.
We walked trough the gate and entered the main house, noticing the courtyard in horrible condition. The trap must have already been sprung for here…
"I see you've both returned." I heard someone say, I look toward where the voice came from and realized it was our Master…Naraku.
"Yes my lord…and we have the jewel shards aswell." I say holding out the 4 shards I had taken from the village. Naraku looks at the shards then back at me, glaring slightly but then grinning as he takes the shards and holds one out in front of his face, looking at it. "You've finished the job, that's enough to say. I assume that your trap has been set aswell?" He asks looking at me. I nod my head as I reply. "Yes my lord, we destroyed the village, not one person lived. The trap is set."
"Excellent. Now we just wait for the slayer girl to awaken… then your parts can be carried out." Naraku says as I nod…so one survived? I wonder if she's even in good enough condition to battle…
"My lord…what if she isn't up to the battle to the death with Inuyasha?" I ask curious. Naraku looks at me and just waves the jewel shard back and forth in his clutches. "Relasouno, how quickly you forget…the jewel shards can do things to humans aswell…With one shard, she won't be able to feel pain…if she complains about pain, you'll give her this shard, is that clear?" He orders me. I nod as I take the shard from him.
"Go around to the outside door that enters the side room…when the slayer girl awakens you, Relasouno, will tell her what you, supposedly saw." Naraku says as he turns around and begins to walk into one of the side rooms. I nod my head as me and Korosu do as he ordered, we had walked up to the door, and I placed my ear up to it and over heard what was being said.
"So, you've awaken?" Naraku asks as he walks towards the girl. She just ignores him I think as I heard no reply from her. I sigh as I begin my role "Young lord." I start as to get Naraku to come outside, yet for Sango to over hear it.
"Ah Relasouno, my faithful servant. What is it?" Naraku asks, continuing the role of the young lord to trick the poor girl.
"As you commanded, me and Korosu rushed to the demon slayer's village as quickly as possible." I started, breathing quickly as I continued." But…by the time I got there..It had already been attacked and destroyed." I spoke. Continuing after another moment to breath. "The ground was covered by the corpses of villagers…And in the long view I saw the demon! That had done such! It was Inuyasha!" I stated as I continued playing my role. "Inuyasha wishes to use the power of the shikon jewel to become full demon. And because of that, he attacked the village." As I said that, the girl opened the door to where we were and spoke. "My weapon…Give me my Hiraikotsu! That bastard that attacked my village…I'LL KILL HIM!"
A couple of days later.
Melkoshi's POV.
"..Where are we heading again Kagome?" I asked. Complaining AGAIN about having to leave so shortly.
"We're going to that demon slayer village Miako told us about." Kagome said before sighing. I had asked that same question at least every hour…I really didn't want to leave…
"Lady Kagome, we have been in search for a couple of days now. Are you sure we're even heading in the right direction?" Miroku asked as Kagome sighed as she replied. "Honestly, Miako wasn't very clear on WHERE to find it, so pretty much no."…idiot
"Quit your whining! You'll find it somehow!" Inuyasha says, annoyed by our complaining. I sigh as I then ask. "Once I we get there,. Are we going to take the jewel shards from the village?" Inuyasha turns towards me and then shouts at me. "Of course! Why ELSE would we be even heading there in the first place!" I sigh at that..With an attitude like that, I'd be surprised he didn't get exterminated himself by the demon slayers.
"Well, I want to know why the Shikon jewel was created. They should know since it was created in their village…" Kagome says in reply to Inuyasha arguing. I nod my head in agreement, I mean, really. I'm sure every one of us, even Inuyasha wants to know that.
I sighed again, man at this rate we won't find it at all…After a while of walking, I say..For like at least a good half a day worth, we final come upon something. I was the first one to see it and spoke up. "Whats that…?" I asked as I blinked confused. "Looks like a fort of some sort." Inuyasha says as he then sniffs the air and then glares. "…I smell the scent of human blood." He says as he then begins to run towards the fort's gate. The rest of us fallowed him, I was in some sort of shock over that…I mean, that can't be a good thing.
We made it up to the gate, where it was forced open and broken, walking inside showed us the decaying bodies of humans, blood was everywhere.. I gasped slightly as I saw it. "What's this…?" Kagome had asked. "Looks like a massacre" I say as I continued to look at the sight of the battle flied.
"Theres no doubt. This fort… Is the Demon slayers village we've been looking for." Inuyasha says as he begins to walk forward and looks around a bit more. Kagome then does the same but stopping as she says. "I don't sense any Jewel shards here…"
"They were taken already by my guess…" I say as I fallow both of them out and look around…just looking at this is making me a tad nauseous… "Such a shame this had to happen…Now we won't find any jewel shard leads at all." I say in a selfish manner. I jumped slightly as I then heard a weird beast like grow come from within the village, kagome does the same and asks. "Whats that?"..Does she ever get tired of asking that? I thought as I sweatdroped slightly but then remember whats going on as I then saw a big cat like demon with two tails emerge from the village, growing at us as it approaches us. Inuyasha grabs his sword as he says "This must be the demon that did all of this!"
"That voice… Is it you, Inuyasha?" I heard a voice speak. Inuyasha blinks in confusion…like the rest of us…it talks? What on earth is going on?
"Calm down Kilala, these people are not the enemy." The voice said again, as the big cat like demon put down it's guard and shrunk! AW how cute! It turned into a little cat… demon? A flea then jumped off the little cat demon and bite Inuyasha's nose as it spoke. "Long time no see."…Inuyasha then struck it..So that thing that spoke was really a flea? I wish someone would just explain everything for once…
"Myoga, what are you doing here?" Kagome says…she knows the flea! "You guys know this…flea?" I ask in quite confusion. "He's Inuyasha's retainer…sorta" Shippo then spoke up. Okay I feel stupid…the fox kid knows more about this then I do…
"So Myoga…explain what on earth has happened here." Inuyasha asks the flea in a rather annoyed manner. "This was the hidden village of the Demon slayers, or exterminates as some call them." Myoga..The flea says as he begins to explain. So this was the village after all…that really sucks.
"The people of the village have made a living by exterminating demons for many generations." He says again. "Then there really isn't any surprise as to way the village was attacked then." I say, trying to understand. The flea then speaks to me. "True… but why did whoever attack, attack now…?" I blink at his question. "Their best slayers were summoned to Saru castle that night. So the village was lacking defense." The flea explain. I then look over at Kagome who then says. "I have a bad feeling about this…"
"I do too…" I sighed as I then continued to speak. "This is such a shame. There were so many things I wanted to find out." Inuyasha then looks over at the flea as he asks. "Myoga, you know something don't you?"
"About the shikon jewel?" he asks, kinda confused by the question…wait HOW can a flea get confused!
"Myoga, that was why you came here yes? To find out about the jewel?" Kagome then asks as the flea then sweatdrops..Which amazes me…as he replys. "Yes…it has been bothering me for a while now, just what exactly the Shikon jewel is. After all, it seems that everyone who becomes involved with the jewel suffers a tragic fate."…yeah like me for example…
"Rumors of the shikon jewel led me to this village. However something was bothering me on my way here…Were those images of the fleeting girls in black just apart of my imagination?" Myoga say, asking that question to himself at the end…Wait what? "Girls in black you say?" I ask outloud in shock..could it have been my sister?...It's possible…she should still be alive after only 50 years…and she was always wearing black…but..He said girls… I could just tell it was Relasouno..I have a hunch it is…but..Whos the other girl..?
The next day.
I sighed, we stayed the night in this..distoryed old village…I shivered just thinking about it…we had buried the bodies yesterday, so it's not really that horrible here…I kinda feel sorry for what happened here..I mean…I'm also glad my village wasn't on their revenge list of whoever attacked this village…
"The cavern in which the jewel was made?" Inuyasha had asked, which had snapped me out of my thoughts. "Yes, where we are going now. It's a holy temple a little way from the village. But…" the flea starts to speak, stopping shortly then continuing. "This village has offence and defense divisions aswell…"
"What do you mean?" Kagome asks, as we continue to walk. "They are making weapons and armor with the bones and skins of the demons they've exterminated" the flea says, explaining what he ment…kinda like how my village does now…I wonder if all demon slayer villages are like this?
We continued walking till we came upon a small cave after walking a short bit from the village. "It seems it was conventional to throw the unnecessary remains in here." The flea begins to speak once again, as we reached the cave…does this flea EVER shut up?
"Consequently, the inside of this limestone cave is littered with the remains of demons…but apparently, there was originally a mass of demon corpses at the back of that cave."The flea says again…I want to smash that flea so bad right now…he never shuts up…
"And that's where the Shikon Jewel was?" Kagome then asks. "Yes. That's the sort of story that is connected with this place." The flea begins to speak again…
"You've researched this well, haven't you Myoga?" Inuyasha then asks…yeah I can sure say he has..He hasn't SHUT UP ABOUT IT since yesterday! I sigh as I then speak up "Well, aren't we going to go inside or what?" Inuyasha looks at me then nods as he begins to approach the cave. "Yeah, lets go."
"Please wait Inuyasha!" the flea begins to speak up as Inuyasha starts walking. Just as Inuyasha was about to ask what, he walked right into a barrier…getting shocked and flow back from the blow. "There is some sort of barrier placed on this cave, you can't just walk on in." The flea says…Inuyasha then glares at him, shouting "Say that sorta thing BEFORE hand! Not after, but BEFORE!"
I sigh, why do I feel like we stumbled onto a dead end? "You say we can't enter the stupid cave cause of the barrier right..Myoga is it?" I ask the stupid flea… "Yes that is correct."
"Then why don't we go find the slayers that got sent to that castle then? I mean, their alive still, so why not just go find them and ask them to tell us what to do to get it to open!" I say, in an annoyed boredom filled tone.
"That is actually a good idea.. So we should go to that castle and ask the remaining demon slayers about the secret of the shikon jewel and how to unlock the barrier to this stupid cave. Then the story is easy." Inuyasha says, agreeing with my idea. "Well then, what are we all standing here for? Lets get moving." And with that Inuyasha begins to walk off, the rest of us fallowing him.
We walked for a while, fallowing Inuyasha as he seemed to know where he was going. "Hey Myoga, that castle is in this direction right?" Inuyasha asks the flea. The flea sweatdrops as he speaks. "Inuyasha, were you walking without knowing where the castle was?"….Or not…I guess I can't always trust Inuyasha…he got us LOST.
"Inuyasha, that castle shouldn't be too far from here. Can't you sniff it out?" Miroku asks, Inuyasha glares at him slightly but then shakes his head as he replys. "Yeah, but I can't pick up a thing."
The little cat we had picked up from the village, started twitching it's ears and acting funny just then. "Whats wrong now?" Kagome asked the little thing….like it's going to answer… with that I got a funny feeling and felt like something was heading our way. I turned around and then a giant boomerang came flying trough the air, chopping down the tree surrounding us, kicking up dust as it did so. When the dust cleared we looked towards the place where it came from. I saw a girl, holding the boomerang. Who then spoke. "You're Inuyasha, right? I will exterminate you!"
"Who the hell are you?" Inuyasha asks out of confusion. "Inuyasha you must not fight Sango!" the flea then shouts at Inuyasha…a little late flea, as the girl threw the boomerang once again, Inuyasha grabbed his sword and blocked it however the power of the boomerang pushed him back quite a bit.
"You, why do you attack me?" Inuyasha asks her once again.. The girl..Sango glares at him, getting ready for another attack as she replys. "Shut up Half breed! This is the revenge for everybody in the village!" and with that, she threw her boomerang once again, Inuyasha doges it this time. Jumping back further each time she threw it again.
"We have to do something..But what?" I say mainly to myself. " Well I got an idea…Wind tunnel!" Miroku shouts at he releases his wind tunnel pulling the boomerang towards the black hole within his right hand. All of a sudden I heard a low pitched noise and Naraku's poisonous insects show up, I turn towards Miroku, who closes off his wind tunnel, knowing what the insects will do to him…where did those come from? Is Naraku somewhere near by?
I look towards Sango now, backed up behind her is now the insects and two females..Dressed in black… I know one of them…her smirking as she played the flute she STOLE from me to control the flying insects. "Relasouno!" I shouted at her in surprise.
"Ah dear sister, I see that your still weapon less are you? Is that why you don't help Inuyasha fight off the slayer girl? Hm…?" Relasouno says as she toys with her words. I look at the other woman…a girl with black hair, a huge sword which she held over her shoulder.
"I can't believe you of all people would be on Naraku's side…" I say to her in disgust..I only heard about Naraku..I have yet to get into any fights with him yet… but I don't want to start now as I don't even have a weapon yet…
"My, my dear sister, you don't know me at all..You know I'll do anything for power..And Naraku has given me the power I wished for." Relasouno says as she then smirks. I glare at her as I then shout. "Oh so then you're to blame for deceiving this poor girl to think Inuyasha slaughtered her village?" At that Sango looked over at me as I shouted that…maybe if I can get Relasouno to confess she did it, and not Inuyasha, Sango will stop this madness.!
"My, my dear sister..You always have to assume the worse don't you?" Relasouno says, as she plays innocent like always. "Stop playing innocent, I know you're the one that did it. You reek of the smell of human blood! The same blood from the village!" Inuyasha shouted at Relasouno, who then took a step back at that then smirked.
"Sure I did attack the village and take the jewel shards…no I can't take all of the credit…My half sister Korosu here also did a fair share of the killing." Relasouno said smirking evilishly as she did so…wait what!...half sister….I then stared at the other female…was she…Korosu…? The one my father spoke of those many years ago…! "…Half…sister…?" I muttered to myself, in surprise as to hear this. Relasouno smirks as she sees my expression.
"Well, well..It seems by the looks of your face, you're surprised father actually told the truth for once, isn't that right?" Relasouno says smirking even more. I form my hand into a fist…I can't fight back however..This is just…stupid! I run into my…sisters…and yet I can't fight back? This is just…pathetic!
"Oh whats the matter Melkoshi…cat got your tounge?..Or should I say weapon?" Relasouno says taunting me even more. I glare at her as I was about to speak, Sango interrupts me. "Were the demons at the castle your doing too?" shouting angry at Relasouno
"well, no, but it was our master's doing that lured the demons to the castle…we needed a way to get the slayers there and to exterminate them before noticing the truth." Relasouno says in a clear voice. As she said that Sango's expression changed to sad, then to instant furry. "…Murderer!" Sango shouted as she grabbed her boomerang and begins to run towards Relasouno. The shikon jewel shards popped out of her back and flew towards Relasouno which she grabbed it and held it out.
"My, my, if you were going to cross me, then I shall take back what I lent you now deary." Relasouno says as she stared at the now, badly bleeding Sango, who was suffering so much pain. Relasouno then held up the flute of talons, playing it softly…what do those notes mean?…Just then Kagome screamed slightly as a small crow demon snatched the jewel shard hanging around her neck and brought the shard to Relasouno and the bird landed on her shoulder. "Now..I have what I came for…" Relasouno says as she then glares at me, smirking slightly…Korosu then grabbed something she had tied to her sword scabbard and threw it at the ground. Causing poisonous gas to appear around us.
We ran out of the area, gasping for air. After a few moments, the gas lifted, clearing the air. Allowing us to be able to breathe again. The two were no where to be seen…
about a week later at the village
"By the seven hells! What is wrong with that exterminating wench!" Inuyasha shouts angry. I sigh..He's at it again…
"How can she NOT remember the face of that young lord, or where the castle is?" Inuyasha shouts complaining once again…Even since that fight, Inuyasha's been anger at Sango's anwsers..She doesn't remember much she says…
"Inuyasha just quit it. Remember who we're up against. Naraku must have done something to her so she'd forget and not be able to hunt him down. Sides…even with those wounds it'd be a surprised she'd even be able to move if she did remember anyways…" I say arguing with Inuyasha, as I stacked logs onto the fire I was tanding..We've been here in this stupid village for it seems over a week now! Cleaning it up is all we do practically…
"Keh, if it were me it'd only take me 3 days to heal up those wounds." Inuyasha arguing more, glareing at me in an annoyed manner. I sigh as I reply. "She's HUMAN not half demon like us you idiotic flea bag!" I shout at him annoyed…gezz can he get anymore dense!
"Hey Melkoshi, can you help me with Sango's bandages?" Kagome asks as she approaches me. I nod my head and stand up as me and her begin to head towards the hut Sango was resting in. "Sango, time to change your band…" Kagome starts to say but when she walks inside of the room. She shouts " She's gone!" and runs outside and looks around a bit till she sees her. We run up to her as Kagome shouts at her. "Sango, please, you shouldn't be moving yet."
"These graves…" Sango begins to say, I blink in confusion as she continues. "You gave them all proper burials…" She finishes as she looks over at Kagome, who nods in reply. "Hey um…" Kagome starts but then looks down…I bet she was going to ask for her to cheer up… "Listen, when you get well..Do you want to come with us? I mean Inuyasha and Miroku are quite nice once you get to know them!" Kagome says cheerfully, offering Sango an invitation to our group…we already have enough people as it is…
"You had a shikon shard didn't you?" Sango then asks, looking back over at Kagome…she nods her head as she replys. "Yeah..We were unable to get it back from Relasouno…"
"then..Shouldn't that mean you should go after her?" Sango then looks over at Kagome, who nods after a moment. "In that case…I'll go with you…" Sango says in a determined voice, Kagome blinks as she replys. "Are you, planning to avenge everyone?"
"Of course..Besides the shikon jewel was…" Sango starts to say but I interrupt her. "Was born in this village, wasn't it?" Sango nods, and I continue. "We originally came here hopeing to learn the story…"
Sango then stands up and begins to walk a little ways then turns around. "Why don't you call the rest of your friends over? Since you guys helped bury all the villagers... I'll tell you , how the jewel was made." My faces brighten up at that. That's just great! I quickly shout for Inuyasha and the rest of them to come over, and they do so.
We walked a short while to the cave in which we saw a little while ago. Inuyasha had to carry Sango on his back, as she was still in quite a big amount of pain. "So we finally get to see the birth place of the shikon jewel." Miroku says as we stop at the base of the cavern.
"Hey Sango, how do you unlock the barrier to this cavern anyways?" I ask her, she just looks at me as she replys. "there is no spell, or special trick…this is tomb."
"a tomb?" I repeat slightly confused and she nods. "Yes, you can't just enter here out of curiosity. In the beginning everyone thought it was a grudge from some demon that kept people from entering…but it seems it's that person who's keeping people from entering the cavern." She replys as I blink confused once again as she explains further. "The person who made the shikon jewel. I think it's that's person's feelings of regret or something that created this barrier. It will be much easier to explain once we are inside. Come on lets go."
"Hey…" Inuyasha starts as he takes a few steps forward. "Are you sure we can go inside?"
"Until now, many innocent people that got involved died because of the shikon jewel. Since you guys have a feeling of sorrow for those people. I'm sure that person will let you in" Sango replys in a clear manner. I nod and begin to walk forward and everyone else begins to aswell. We reach the barrier and walk trough it with no difficulty at all.
I looked at my hands, which were glowing slightly after passing the barrier. Just like when I passed the barrier that leads to my village…"I can't believe we passed it" I said in shock. We continued walking till we reached a big opening in the cavern. I gasped in awe at what I saw.
"This is whats left when a horde of demons, dragons, ogres, and numerous other kinds of beast form into one. All to defect one single mortal." Sango begins to speak once again. I stare at the crystal statue that is right in front of us. "He's wearing a very old style of armor, an ancient warlord I take it?" Miroku asks.
"no, in fact. He, was a she. Some sort of priestess from hundreds of years ago" Sango states once again. I look at her and then back at the crystallized statute…so she was a priestess eh? Wow…
"Yeah, yeah, against demons. A preites is as strong as a hundred samurai." Inuyasha says, stareing at the statue aswell. Sango nods her head as she continues. "Back when the aristocracy had all power. Life was just a circle of war and famine and death. And to feast on the corpses and the helpless. There grew more and more demons. There were monks and warlords who could exterminate demon. But only one had spells that could extract a demon's soul and cleanse it utterly. The priestess named Midoriko."
"So she could extract their souls..?" I had asked. Sango nodded as she replied. "And not just demon souls, either. All the world's creatures, weither human, or animal, or trees or stones… are each made , it's said of four souls." Sango says inreply to my question…four souls…shikon means four souls!
"it's a Shinto philosophy, not Buddhist. The shikon or four souls are known as. Arami-tama, Nigimi-tama, Kushimi-tama and Sakimi-tama. Together those spirits are housed in a physical body as it's soul, or heart." Miroku begins, breathing slightly as he continues. "Arami-tama presides over valor, Nigimi-tama harmony, Kushimi-tama miracles and Sakimi-tama love. A soul in which these four aspects are combined and balanced is called Naohi a true spirit. For that person it is easy to remain on a true path."
…I sweatdrop highly confused as I speak. "It's kinda over whelming to hear it all at once like that Miroku.." Miroku laughs slightly as he replys. "And that's not even the end of it. If an evil deed is committed then the four aspects are unbalanced…the soul becomes a magatsuhi. A twisted soul and the person will turn onto the wrong path."
Sango sighs as she replys. "All it means is that the same soul can be either good or evil." I sweatdrop at that…Miroku you REALLY need to learn to cut the crap and get to the point….
"That is why Midoriko was a dangerous enemy to the demons. Since she can purify a demon's soul which means taking away it's power." Sango continues as she look at the statue. "But she ran out of power when she fought the demon army and lost the battle." Inuyasha says in an annoyed tone. He gets the attention of everyone as he continues. "I guess Midoriko is not that great after all."
"Idiot, she still hasn't lost yet!" Sango shouts at him. I blink..But she's dead isn't she? How can that be then….?
"They say the battle went on for seven days and seven nights. Then finally Midoriko's strength was spent and her body was devoured by the great demon. When her soul was about to be sucked out of her by the demon. In that moment Midoriko used the last of her energy to steal the demon's soul, to take it into her own soul and to expel it out of her body. With that, both the demon and Midoriko died. Leaving behind a crystallized soul…that we call the shikon jewel. But even with their physical bodies have perished…inside the jewel, they say the soul's of Midoriko and the demon are still battling each other…" Sango continued, running out of breath at the very end.
Wow..Thats just..Wow…that's amazing…I then notice something…"Look at whats in her hand! The one that's being swallowed by the demon." I speak, wondering if that whatever it is, is supposed to be there.
"That's not apart of the statue…" Sango then says. I blink as I ask. "Then what is it?"
"A while back, I remember my father telling me, that once a young woman entered this cave. She claimed she was only going to view the statue…but little did we know, she only came to hide that weapon in here." Sango says calmly. I blink as I then ask "Why didn't your people just remove what she placed?"
"The woman had placed her own barrier on the weapon, so we were unable to remove it. In turn it still rests there. I personal don't mind it really, however, to my people it was a disgrace for Midoriko and what she had done." Sango says in reply to my question I nod my head..It is a shame someone would do that….wait a second…a weapon..That an young women placed in here…to hide…could it be…the one my mother hide from me…?
I take a step forward as I being to approach the statue. If it truly is the weapon I was ment to seek..Then the barrier around it wouldn't deflect me…
"What do you think your doing?" Sango shouts at me. I look back at her as I begin to climb the statue. "I'm going to remove the weapon…no one should have disgraced this statue by doing so!"…even if it was my own mother that did so…
I got to the top where Midoriko was, I reached to grab the weapon, getting ready for a shock from the barrier around it…but to my surprise there was none. I had grabbed the weapon and pulled it out of the statue's hand. Strangely the orb on the end of the staff started floating and spinning slowly….was this truly my weapon…?
"Melkoshi..What is that….?" Kagome then asks, stunned by it. I jump down with it in hand, as I approach my friends. "It's..my weapon…"
A couple of months later.
It's been a couple of months since that Sango girl joined our group. After showing us the statue of Midoriko, Kagome wouldn't let her say no as an answer…however since then, Miroku seems to have an eye out for Sango..And I think Sango likes him aswell.. I sigh. I can't wait to tell or even see my friends again! I so got to tell them the things that have happened!
Flash back.
"Come on Melkoshi. Do SOMETHING!" Inuyasha shouted at me annoyed. I just glared back at him replying. "Why don't YOU try and do something with this stupid wand then?"
"I WOULD but that stupid BARRIER around it won't even let me pick it up!" He shouts at me angrily. I reply with "Then just shut up!" as I tried to figure out how to use the new weapon of mine. The book said nothing about HOW to use it! Only how to find it!
"Make me shut up then!" Inuyasha shouts at me angry, I glare at him once more as I then shout. "Fine I will!" as I then swing the wand at him, HOPEING it'd attack. I sweatdrop at the failed attempt of an attack. Inuyasha then laughs slightly at my failure as he speaks. "You got to concentrate! If you want to attack, focus on just that!"
"WHAT DO YOU THINK I'VE BEEN DOING?" I shout at him annoyed. I sigh as I then think for a minute..Okay here goes…concentrate…I then held the weapon up right once again, swinging the wand forward as a gust of wind shoots towards Inuyasha. He blocks the gust of wind as he smirked as he replys. "Good, now try a real attack. Just sending little things of gusts isn't a good enough of an attack now!"
He's got a point…the little gusts, pretty much do as much effect as Inuyasha swinging his sword around randomly. I need to learn an attack..Like his wind scar…something powerful…
I sigh as I then tried once again. Slowly moving the wand in an upright position above my head, extending it to the max my arm would allow. I closed my eyes for a slight moment as I thought. Father, please guide me. I then opened my eyes in a sharp moment. Noticing the orb on the end of the wand stopped spinning and was glowing slightly. I gasped in awe as I then smirked as I then looked over at Inuyasha. As I then shouted an attack out. "Hurricane Infestation!" as I shouted that, wind then shot out of blades on the orb and aimed at Inuyasha. Who dodged my attack quickly, yet still was unable to block some of it.
"Heh at least you can now help us in battle now Melkoshi." Inuyasha says after the attack had finished, standing up, dusting himself off. I grin as I then begin to jump for joy at the fact I actually was able to attack something without bashing it with the wand itself!
End flash back.
I sigh as I remember that day..Man that it pathetic, I mean I was so happy I wasn't useless and stuff. Man..That WAS quite pathetic. I sighed again, oh well. Currently we're heading back to my old village. As we have ran out of leads again, and I begged Kagome and Inuyasha to come back this way. And they got sick of it after a while. I smile, begging is always the best thing to do sometimes. We continued walking till we came across the barrier that my village was within, walking through it with no difficulty at all now, we continued till we came upon the gates of the village.
"Who goes there!" Someone had shouted from the guard toward. I sighed as I stepped forward to address my group. "My name is Melkoshi Kazea, I've come here numerous times before. Let me and my friends pass."
"On one condition." The guard started. I blinked as I then sighed..Must be someone new. Just then the girl jumped down from the guard tower and spoke as she looked at me in the face. "You have to greet me first!" Miako then laughed as she finished. It was Miako after all..Silly Miako…
"Oh that doesn't matter tho, so how've you been Melkoshi? It's been a while!" Miako then asks me. I smile gladly as I then hold up my wand and speak. "Remember that weapon I told you about? The one from the book? Well, this is it!"
"No way! For real? You actually were able to get that same weapon!" Miako asks surprised and I nod as I speak. "Isn't it just great!" Miako nods her head as she agrees. I blink as I then remember something as I then ask. "Do you know where Mioh is by any chance? I wanna challenge him to a match!"
"You want to challenge Mioh? Wow, you must have gotten pretty confident there Melkoshi!" Miako says laughing slightly, I glare at her as I don't find it funny at all as she continues. "I'm pretty sure he's over at the training grounds. Their in the center of the village pretty much. He was there earlier, so I am guessing he's still there now." Miako says. I smile as I then look back at Kagome and the others, I then speak. "I'm going to go ahead and look for Mioh, okay guys? You all can go do whatever you want! Come find me when you're ready to leave!" I said laughing slightly as I then entered the village, running towards the training ground. I just wanna show off my newly found powers to Mioh so badly!
I found my self there shortly after a bit of running. I saw Mioh practicing with his blades. It's been forever since I saw him in his demon slayers uniform. The way it's skin tight, and hugs every inch of his oh so perfect body…Dear god I hope I'm not drooling at the sight of him like this. I then speak up as I begin to walk towards him. "Hey, you want any help training?"
"You mean as in, you want to spare?" Mioh then asks as he turns around, withdrawing his blades as he wipes the sweat off of his brow. I could swear, I'd faint from the sight of him like this…
"Yeah, that's what I ment! I mean looky! I got myself a weapon now!" I said cheerfully as I held the Wand Of Elements in my hands. Mioh then laughs slightly. "A wand? I so should have seen that coming! But that's great you can now defend yourself at least!"
"..What are you saying? I'm not tough enough to face you?" I ask, in a slight annoyed voice. Mioh then laughs slightly once again, as he nods then speaks. "Pretty much. Sorry to say but, I highly doubt you're even at my level of skill."
"Oh really then? Well, I challenge you to a sparing match! Anything goes, you, me right now. First one to give up, or gets knocked unconscious, or is unable to continue losses!" I shout at him, in an annoyed voice..Even if I do loss. I mainly just wanna test my skills anyways.
"Whoa, you're actually serious about this? Well, we'll have a match then. However, I wish to apologize in advance for your defect." Mioh then says, as he takes up an attack position as he draws his blades. I then take a step back as I hold out my wand as I then speak. "What makes you think you're going to win?" at that I then ran towards him, using my wand to try and hit him with the spikes on it. Mioh dodges as he then charges towards me, slashing me with his blades. "Too slow..But not bad tho."
From the unexpected hit, I had fallen to the ground…He thinks he can win like that…dammit…that really hurt…I'll get him back for that…I'll just play dead, and make him get all worried…yeah….
"Melkoshi…?" Mioh asks, blinking in confusion as to why I wasn't getting up..Or moving…hehehe it's working…He then begins to walk over to me, asking. "Come on now Koshi. I didn't hurt you that badly..Stand up." I again don't move one inch, and this causes him to get a little worried and bends down next to me, looking over me.
"Stupid mistake." I said as I then hit him with my wand, which was still in my hand as I sat up. Causing him to fall backwards, off guard. He then glares at me as he shouts. "That was low Melkoshi!"
"Anything goes Mioh. If you can't take the heat, say out of the fire." I said as I stood up, looking down at him…Okay it is low to strike the opponent when he's down, but still I wanna win! "Sorry love, but this battle is mine." I said as I then raised my wand into the air above my head, as it began to glow. Mioh's eyes never looked away from mine as I begin to charge up my attack. However…before I could reach the attack, Mioh stood up and kneed me night in the stomach, causing me to gasp loudly and drop my weapon. Falling face first onto the ground once again from the unexpected attack. Mioh then kicks my wand across the field. Where I couldn't reach it if my life depended on it..
"Sorry Melkoshi, but you said it yourself anything goes. And you dropped you only means of defense. Pretty much, I could kill you right now..So lets just call this over okay?" Mioh says as he offers a hand to help me up. I look away as I accept his offer. I then look over to where my weapon lied, and ran over to it and grabbed it.
"You weren't bad Melkoshi. You just need to learn the basics of strategy." Mioh says to me, nagging at my horrible attempt of a fight. I begin to walk back over to him as I reply. "Well, I would have won if you hadn't pulled that cheep shot. I mean really, kicking my wand away?"
"You got to be kidding me. If anyone played a cheep shot it was you Melkoshi!" Mioh then laughs slightly as he continues. "I mean, after I hit you slightly, you didn't get up. For all I knew I could have killed you! Then when I got close to you, you hit me up side the head with your wand."
"Slightly? You see this gash on my arm! You call that slightly!" I shout at him, annoyed slightly. Mioh grabs my arm and looks at it, pulling at the ripped edges of my sleeve. "Yeah, I mean, sure alittle bit of blood, but it's only slight damage."
"You made a rip in my shirt!" I shout at him, arguing. Mioh then sighs as he asks. "And? I'm sure you could fix that up EASY…So tell me, what part of slightly don't you understand Kosh?" I pout at that…he always knew how to end an argument with me..It's annoying…
"Well, since the match ended sooner then I thought it would. I never got to show you the attack I learned!" I spoke, as I then smiled as I held my wand up. "That slamming into the opponent isn't the attack either. I have a special one. Here watch!"
With that said, I then held up the wand above my head, as it began to glow. I then focused slightly as my eyes sharpened as I then said in a clear voice. "Hurricane Infection!" As wind was sent out of the spikes ontop of the orb attached to my wand. Attacking a random part of the training field. I then turned towards Mioh as I then asked. "Impressed yet?"
"Again, you got to be kidding me Kosh." Mioh says, as he busted out laughing at my question. I blink then ask. "Why not?" Mioh then stops laughing for a second to answer. "The only way you'll ever impress me is if you beat me in a match. And face it Melkoshi, with moves like THAT, you won't last another round against me." Bragging slightly, at how awesome he is…and that's the truth, he is awesome..He's amazing…he's…Mioh.
"Well then, if you're SO godly in fighting then. Teach me the art then?" I ask him, complimenting him slightly aswell. Mioh then blinks slightly as he then places his hand on his chin as he replys. "Well, I don't see why not…Hey what could it hurt? Sure I'll help you." Mioh then says as he smiles at me. I then grin happily as I then jumped onto him and hugged him tightly, practically screaming "Thank you! Thank you Thank you!" at his answer. I could have swore, I made Mioh blush from my spontaneous hug.
I then remembered something and let go as I then spoke. "However, there's one problem…" Mioh blinked confused slightly as I then continued. "You see, Inuyasha and the others most likely won't stay here very long..And I'm kinda obligated to go with them…so I was..Kinda hopeing, you'd…come with me next time I leave?" I ask, hopeing that Mioh would agree and be with me on my journey just this once.
"Go with you?" Mioh repeats, and I nod. He then thinks for a moment as he then spoke. "Well…I don't see why not. I mean, I've been wanting to get a piece of that shard hunting for a bit now..And of course, I'd get to spend time with my favorite best friend." Mioh says as he slightly hits my arm in a playful manner. I then smile as my face lights up as I then ask "Really?" Mioh then nods his head as I then glomp him once again. This is so becoming such a habit… However Mioh laughs this time, at how excited I am.
A few days later.
"I thought you said he was coming Melkoshi?" Inuyasha shouts at me angry, tired of waiting around. I sighed as I replied. "He is coming! He should be here any minute Inuyasha! Just have patience!"
It's true..Mioh is coming along with us, he said he would. But..Why is he late? I told him around noon at the gate. I just hope he hadn't forgotten. I sighed as I then looked back at the village path, waiting grew tiring after a while. After a few moments I finally saw him upon the path, running towards us. Inuyasha shouted at him. "About time Mioh! We were about to leave without you!"
"Sorry! I'm here now!" Mioh says as he finally gets up to us. Catching his breath as he beings to speak. "The reason I'm so late is because Miako was telling me about a rumor she heard. About the lord of the Saru castle having a heap of jewel shards."
"Really? Well then, why don't we just go to Saru castle and get those shards then!" Inuyasha then says quickly. I smiled as I heard the rumor. Maybe now I can test all that I learned…
"Well then, guys lets go then! We got jewel shards to gather!" I said as I turned around and begin to walk ahead, the others fallowing in my path for a way till Inuyasha lead the way after a bit. I had then started walking beside Mioh as the group walked ahead of the two of us. After a while, I looked up at him as I then spoke. "I can't believe you actually came along Mioh!"
"Yeah well like I said. I had two reasons." Mioh says, as he smiles at me. I smile back as he continues. "One, to get some jewel shards of my own. And two, to send some time with you. After all, it's been along time since we actually hanged out." I blushed at that last part, Mioh laughed at that. After that, Mioh and I didn't talk much, if any we had some small talk, but that was it.
It soon grew to dusk, as we traveled. In truth, we didn't know much of where we were heading, aside from Saru castle, which we really didn't know was where. After a while more, we finally reached our destination.
"So this is Saru castile?" I asked, as I looked at the surrounding. Sango then stepped forward as she began to look back and forth of the outside of the castle as she then said. "This is..The castle…Naraku's castle!" I looked at her as we then headed straight for the gates, busting them open entering into the courtyard. The air has an eerie feeling to it, but whats causing it?
"So…you've finally come have you?" I heard someone speak, I looked towards the main building, which from the doorway, emerged two familiar faces.
"Relasouno!...Korosu!.." I shouted at them unable to think of anything else to say. Relasouno smirked as she says. "It seems you little children have fallen for the trap we set."
"CHILDREN?...Trap! So that rumer..Was spread by you?" I shouted at her unable to believe what I heard…okay sure it seemed fishy at first..But…still a trap?
"Heh, it seems you caught on a bit too late dear sister." Relasouno spoke once more as she withdrew her sword. "But sadly, now I must kill you." With that said, Relasouno then dashed towards me, I blocked her attack with my wand, using it as a means of defense. I glared at her, as I swing my wand at her, trying to hit her. She leaped back out of reach, as she spoke. "Well, well now. It seems you've learned some moves..But their not as good as mine dear sister."
"Well, then maybe my moves will be!" Mioh then shouted at he dashed towards Relasouno. She glares at him as she dodges it like my attack. Glaring at me as she hissed. "Two against one isn't fair…Korosu! Attack and destroy them!" with those words. Korosu moved from where she stood. Running towards me, swinging her sword down at me. I blocked it lucky, with much difficulty.
"Oh my! You were able to block Korosu's sword? Hm..You must be stronger now sister…Sad that you have to die now…" Relasouno speaks, as she watches the battle. "Stronger huh? Well then, eat this!" I shouted at her as I glared at her. As I released a wind gust towards her. Her eyes widen but then the wind gust completed stopped.
"How foolish…Wind as your attack? I'm afraid your attacks are now useless!" A woman then shouted as she walked forward from within the building. I took a step back, uncertain of what just happened.
"What are you! How could you stop my wind!" I shouted at the woman. She just laughed as she then spoke. "My name is Kagura…I control the wind in this castle. And theres nothing you can do to break my control."
"..Melkoshi! It seems your wind attacks won't be able to work now. You'll have to use you're other attacks!" Mioh shouts at me. I nod my head as I then dash towards Kagura, trying to land an attack to have the power of my wind back..Just as I reached her. Relasouno got in my way, speaking. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. Your opponents are us..Not her" As she said that, she hit me across the back with her sword. From the unexpected attack, I fell to the ground. I glared at her, as I then stood back up. Holding my wand, like a sword. Hopeing, to be able to at least use it in an offences way.
"..You indeed are a foolish girl…you shall pay for that! Dance of blades!" Kagura then shouts, as she reaches a wave of blade shape like wind at the group and myself. Hitting a lot of us. Mainly Inuyasha and the others.
"Dammit it. The wind blades can't be blocked that easly"..Inuyasha curses under his breath. Kagura chuckles slightly as she speaks. "It seems my little attack was able to over power one of you already..How many more rounds can you all go?"
I being to hiss slightly, as I looked at Relasouno…If she says I can't attack Kagura..I'll attack her! I then raced forward as I tired to hit Relasouno again, she blocked my swings with her sword, aside from the random hit here and there.
"How pathetic..And I really had hoped you'd actually be at my level of skill by now…dear sister. You've disappointed me." She spoke, as she frowned at me. I just glared at her as I then looked over at Mioh, who was having a hand full of Korosu trying to keep her away from me.
"Pathetic? No you're the ones that pathetic..At least I didn't sell myself out for power!" As I said that, I swing my wand once more, however the orb on the top lunched at my opponent slicing Relasouno's arm up quite badly. She screamed in a lot of pain, as she grabbed the badly bleeding arm. Hissing as she glared at me.
"..Maybe there is more to you then it appears..Dear sister." She speaks once again. I glare at her one last time, before the orb returns back to my wand, after once again slicing Relasouno up. This time, slashing her across the back side. Blood could be seen dripping down onto the ground. The smell a horrible one. The slight even a worse one.
"…Kagura I could really use some of your help now!" Relasouno shouts back at Kagura, who nods her head, as she shouts. "Dance of the dragon!" Sending tornadoes my way. Separating me from everyone else besides Relasouno.
"It seems..This will lead to you end my dear sister…This is the end!" As Relasouno shouted that, I felt a pair of hands grab my neck. I intently dropped my wand as I tried to grab ahold of the person's hands, but it was no use..I was being strangled…I glared back over at Relasouno. Who only grinned as she began walking towards me, she ran her finger under my chin as she spoke. "You're finished Melkoshi…no use fighting anymore" She then ran her finger lower, stopping right in the center of my chest…right where my jewel was…
I screamed loudly as she then stabbed her claws deep into my chest, reaching for my life force..My jewel…I could feel my power weakening as she grabbed it…everything's growing so cold…
Kagome's POV
At the sounds of Melkoshi's scream, I aimed my arrow at the tornadoes separating us from her, my arrows seemed to have effect on Kagura's control of the wind here. After my arrow hit, the tornados cleared and the 3 sisters could be seen…Korosu holding Melkoshi by her neck, with Relasouno standing in front of Melkoshi with a blood soaked hand!
"After 50 long years…50 years of hatred…I have finally got what I want.. MELKOSHI'S LIFE!" Relasouno laughed as she held Melkoshi's life in her hand…The jewel in which Melkoshi's soul rested…Without that jewel, Melkoshi will surely die! Relasouno looked at the blood stained jewel she had in her claw, as she looked over at Korosu, who then tossed aside Melkoshi's body. Mioh then ran up to her, kneeling over as he spoke.
"You…You…villain! How…How could you hate Melkoshi so much to..Do such a thing! I despise you!" Mioh yelled as he held a now life-less and bleeding Melkoshi in his arms…We have to do something quick! Or Melkoshi will die!
"Oh now, now Mioh-boy, Cheer up. You moved on with your life, Melkoshi shouldn't mean anything to you now." Relasouno smiled as she toyed with Mioh's emotions. I looked back over at Mioh, I could see electricity sparking all around him. His eyes…so full of hatred and anger…
"We have to do something!" I shouted at him, as I grabbed one of my arrows and aimed it at Relasouno.
"Kagome don't!" I heard Miroku shout, I turned my head back towards him. "If you miss and strike the jewel, Melkoshi's life WILL be lost forever! Remember what happened to the Shikon jewel! What if that happened again!" I lowered my arrow at that…What if I did miss and strike Melkoshi's jewel?...Then it'd be my fault that she'd be dead…
At that Relasouno cackle an evil villainous laugh, as she held the jewel tightly in her hand. "Looks like I have power over you all now…If any one of you tries a thing I could just crush this jewel and you'll all loss your dear Melkoshi. Tisk, tisk…What a shame that would be now." She said, waving her finger back and forth as she finished that last part…
Oh I CAN'T stand this! We HAVE to do something! But WHAT! With Korosu and Kagura here, we could easily be attacked or killed if we tried anything…there have to be something we could do…
"Kagome." I turned my head as I heard Mioh say my name. "Kagome, take Melkoshi. I must try and get her jewel back…" I nod, and take Melkoshi as he hands her to me. His eyes have changed, their still full of anger, yet determination aswell.
"Oh, so now lover boy will fight me for this little prize?" Relasouno said as she looked at the jewel she held with her claws. I could once again see sparks forming around Mioh.
"Shut up Relasouno! From day one since I met you and Melkoshi, all you ever done was hate her! Just tell me this. WHAT the hell has she done to you!" He shouts, forming a fist with his hand. Relasouno blinks at this…Has he stumped her with his question?
"Well, um…She was always the favorite in our family! She got Father's weapons! BOTH of them! AND Mother's spell book!"
"Oh come on! You RAN a way! WHAT do you expert!" Mioh shouted at her, angry by her response. She takes a half step back at this and blinks…Has he found her weak spot? Explaining WHY she hates her sister?
"Oh shut up! I CAN hate my own sister and wish to kill her if I wish so! Now, since you got me RATHER annoyed by your arguing..You have to pay." She smirks as she holds up the jewel and trys to crush it with her bare hands.
No! …wait, nothing is happening…Whats going on?
"Fine you won't die from just a squeeze then, lets chop you in half!" She says as she threw the jewel up into the air and then grabs her sword and slashed it in half.
"NO!" Everyone shouts as bright blue light appears around the jewel.
"No! What have you done you idiotic little girl!" Kagura shouts as she sees whats taking place!
"Oh yes! This is what I have waited for! MELKOSHI'S DEATH! SAY GOODBYE!" Relasouno shouts, smirking at what she's done. The blue light becomes so strong this time, everyone is blinded by it!
After a moment it disappears. I slowly open my eyes back up and see Melkoshi's body glowing. "Melkoshi…?" I ask as she starts twitching and breathing once again…slowly her eyes open back up.
"…Where am I?...What happened?..." She asks as her vision again.
"Wait WHAT! I thought by destroying the jewel you'd DIE?" Relasouno shouts at the now, conscious Melkoshi.
Mioh has ran over to Melkoshi's side and taken her back into his arms. Melkoshi blinked and looked up at him and hugged him as wind started to form around her badly damaged body…repairing it!
"Heh! I guess you were wrong! Breaking the jewel was all it needed to give Melkoshi her soul back! And you know what that means…?" Mioh says as he laughs slightly at the end.
"I'm stronger then ever now Relasouno…and now it's time for you to PAY!" Melkoshi shouts, as she stands up. Grabbing her wand from where it lay on the ground. Glaring at her sister, with so much anger in her eyes it's unbelievable!
"Heh, we'll see about that sister! Come and try and hit me, JUST TRY!" Relasouno shouts as she holds up her sword, ready for battle.
"Any last words Relasouno! Cause it's time..FOR YOU TO DIE!" Melkoshi shouts as she raises her wand. Sending out huge gusts of wind, and tornadoes at Relasouno. Relasouno simply smirks and raises her hand, moving it around in a circular motion, controlling the wind.
"Now, now, Melkoshi. Dear, have you forgotten? Wind is also MY element! You fool!" Relasouno smirked as she dashed after Melkoshi, slashing Melkoshi in the arm before she could dodge the attack.
"You're so pathetic. You couldn't even dodge such a lame attack. " She says as she licks the blood off of her sword. Melkoshi glares at her, hissing slightly…Why! Why is she hissing?...that can't be good…
"Relasouno! That's enough!" Kagura shouts.
"What? I want to finish her off! Melkoshi MUST die!" Relasouno shouted back, arguing.
"No, your hatred for her has already made you and I fail this mission. The goal was to get her jewel, not break it! " Kagura shouts back at her. Suddenly Relasouno's face turns pure white, and she falls to the ground, shaking and shivering. Repeating the word 'no' over and over again…WHAT is going on?
"I warned you…Naraku isn't pleased and will be angry if we don't return. Now…Dance of the dragon!" Kagura shouts as the winds starts to pick up stronger then before. As the tornadoes that separated us appeared once again.
The tornadoes caused allowed for their escaped. As the castile vanished…was it all a mirage?
"Damn it…I was..So close to killing her…" Melkoshi says, as the wind, that was repairing her, disappeared and the wounds on her body reopen. Mioh runs over to her, as she begins to collapse. She looks up at Mioh, begins to say. "Mioh…please forgive me…" her voice getting weaker by the minute. Mioh's face begins to show so much sadness.
"Melkoshi, please hang on." Mioh says, as Melkoshi slowly drifts into unconscious. I stand up and run over to her. Looking over her, almost life less body… "She needs to come back to my era! Her wounds are too serious! If she keeps on bleeding the way she is…she'll die!" I say, shocked by how badly her injuries are.
"…and she turns human tomorrow…with wounds this badly, she'd died on instant…" Mioh begins to say. I look at him, and nod my head…I mean she has a fricking whole through her chest…I'd be surprised she'd live with that when in her normal form..But in her human form I sware she'd die in a matter of minutes…
3 weeks later. In Kagome's era.
Melkoshi's POV.
"Why on earth did you begin me back to your era Kagome?" I ask her once again…I dislike the fact she made me come back here…
"Cause, I didn't have enough supplies for your wounds back in the feudal era…so we had to take you back here." She says..Oh like I would have died with those wounds..Okay I could have but I'm stronger then that I would of lived…I sighed.
"Anyways, we also need to come back here for tests sometimes. My grandpa has to lie every time I go over to that era. As I have a life here, and if anyone found out, they'd think I'm crazy." Kagome says, as she looks at me. I sigh.. I really hate school. But for the past week Kagome has forced me to go…keep up a good report card she says..Pff, I've done the 9th grade like…20 times in the past 50 years..I don't want to continue it.
"Kagome!" shouts a young boy..Kagome turns and looks at him. "Oh hojo! Nice to see you" She says…hojo? Who on earth is this boy?
"So Kagome, I was wondering, would you like to go out this weekend…Valentines day is this Saturday…" He asks. My eyes practically bug out as Kagome accepts the invitation….Kagome's two timing Inuyasha?
"Great I'll see you then!" He says as he begins to walk off. As soon as he's gone, I start asking questions. "Kagome..Who was that?" I ask her. She sighs as she explains "His name is Hojo, him and I went out a few times before. It's no big deal." She says…no big deal? Does she like not care for Inuyasha! "But what about Inuyasha?"
"You mean that jerk? Humph, he's last year's news to me." Kagome says in an angry tone….okay they had a fight…this makes sense now…
"Oh whats that Valentine thing that Hojo guy was talking about?" I ask her. I may have lived in this time for 50 years, but the culture is still quite new to me.
"You never heard of Valentines Day?" She asks, and I shake my head. She sweatdrops as she speaks "Well, it's a holiday where you basicly find that special someone of yours and do something nice with. Or give them a card, or candy, or even flowers." She explains, I nod my head in understanding.
"Maybe I should do something like that for Mioh… maybe it might win back his heart…" I say to myself mainly and I sigh…I hate how weird my life is….
"You know Melkoshi, that's actually a good idea. You really should do that!" Kagome says, encouraging me. I blink and then ask "You really think? But what would I do?"
"Maybe write him a love message? Or a card, or maybe get him a gift with a note?" Kagome says, trying her hand at thinking of ideas.
"I think maybe the note and a gift would work!" I say as I smile. Kagome laughs slightly at that. The bell rings. "Oh shoot, class is about to start, we'll talk later okay Melkoshi?" And with that Kagome then runs off to her next class…I sigh…school is so boring…
The school hours passed by, like they always do. I sigh again as I walk back to Kagome's home..Ever since I left my apartment, I haven't gone back..I'd rather stay at Kagome's…I don't know why but I just…rather stay there…
"Melkoshi! Wait up!" Kagome shouts as I turn around. I smile as she runs up to me. "So, have you thought of what to get Mioh yet?" She asks, and I shake my head. "I really should however…but maybe I think just a note and a kiss will work." I say. Kagome giggles at that. "How cute! What are you going to write in the note?" She asks I blink as I reply. "I have yet to figure that out." I say stopping shortly then continuing. " However, I do know it's going to be a poem and rhyme." Kagome giggles again at that. "Well, let's hope it just will work then!" I nod my head in agreement as we begin to walk back to her home.
Saturday morning at Kagome's home.
"What do you mean you're not coming back with me?" I short at Kagome, who sighs as she replys. "I got a date remember?"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." I say as I sigh. I give up…I don't think Kagome has forgiven Inuyasha for what has happened or whatever yet…I actually have no clue at what HAS happened either…
"Well then, I'll go back alone" I say as I grab my bag and run through it quickly making sure I have everything needed. I look back over at Kagome one last time before I leave. I sigh as I turn around and begin walking outside of her home and towards the hidden shrine where the old well was hidden at.
"I hate this thing so much…" I say to myself as I look down it. I gulp as I jump in. I've only been through it maybe a few times, so it still scares me. However I never hit the floor hard or anything. Which is quite odd in my opinion. I sigh once I notice I'm on the other side and being to climb up the wall. I really wish someone would put a latter in here or something. I climb up over the top and sit down on the ledge as I look around , as I then pull out the note I had written for Mioh, stareing at it. I smile and blush slightly, thinking about what could happen once I give this to him.
"Well, heres to hopeing all goes well." I say as I then stand up and begin walking towards my old village. The village was surprising not far from the well, it was deep within the forest that was near the village Kikyou used to live in.
I wondered…no hoped everything will go well with this…everything I feel was written into this single note…I honestly hope..Once Mioh reads it…he'll forgive me and we'll be back together again…. I had gotten lost in my thoughts like I always used to as I had walked. I had arrived at the village gates, Annie after a while knew me well enough to open the gates just by looking at me. I smiled as I walked through, and begin to walk toward Mioh's home…
I sure hope he's home…he had better be, or I'm going to angry at him for eternity! I giggled as I thought that, man none of us have changed at all, not me..Not Mioh..Not Miako, we've changed on the outside, but not one bit on the inside. Mioh is still the strong emotionless best friend type, Miako is still the cheerful girl and I…I don't know what I am per say..But I know I haven't changed…
My thoughts were snapped intwo as I reached Mioh's home, I had gotten lost in thought again. I sighed as I walked up to the door and knocked on it. Miako answered the door and she immediately smiled as she spoke. "Melkoshi! You came to visit!" she says in a happy voice. I giggle slightly, nope she hasn't changed at all.
"Yeah I did…um is Mioh home? Sorry to say but I mainly came to see him." I say, as Miako nods as she replys "Yeah, he's home." With that Miako shouted for him and shortly after, I could see Mioh exiting his room as he walked towards the main door way. I could tell from his face he was a tad surprised to see me there.
"Melkoshi, how you feeling after what happened?" He asks. I forgot, that I hadn't seen him since that fight…I wonder if anyone even told him I was doing well…
"I'm all healed up and feeling great Mioh." I say, in reply to his question, he smiles slightly as he replys. "That's great to hear." He begins to say. Then continues by asking another question. "Did you want to see me for any reason? Or is this just a random visit to hang out?" He asks…does he always has to have a reason for everything… I thought as I sweatdroped slightly.
"Well, since you mentioned it there is a reason." I begin to say, as I look away slightly. He blinks before asking. "Which is what?" As he asks that I walk away slightly, only a couple of feet away. I can't believe I'm about to do this. Out of confusing Mioh closes the door and fallows me, to where he's standing right behind me. "Melkoshi…?" he begins to ask but I interrupted him, as I turn around and hand him the note.
"Read it. " I say as I look up at him, stareing right into his eyes. I could sware I saw a faint blush form over his cheeks as he nods and opens the note and begins to read it out load.
"'Through thick and thin, you've always been there. As if it was ment to be. I know I've done so much to you, can you ever forgive me?'" He stops slightly as he looks at me, I nod my head as a sign I really mean it and he continues reading aloud. "'I regret so much, so many things I've done wrong and all. But you were always there when I fall. You mean the world to me and yet still let you slip away. Please can you and me, just be together at least for one more day? I love you with all my heart, please believe me. Lets get back together like how it was ment to be…'" Mioh finishs reading the note, in great surprise he stares at me before he begins to speak. "Melkoshi…I…"
This is it…what the next words out of his mouth are going to say, will give me my final answer…
