Demon Tenshi: If my grammar is bad…sorry. I'll try to do my best in this one. Anyway, thanks for the reviews and please, I don't really mind if you tell me what is wrong with it. Just don't go overboard.
A Twisted Fairy Tale
CH 2: The Deep Forest of Judgement
"Queen Kanashi, your daughter will be arriving." A male youkai informed, as he bowed deeply to the queen.
Kanashi dropped her deep green eyes to look down at the soldier. "Very well, I will see her in the main entrance." She said plainly. Though, deep inside she knew that she love her daughter and by gods she had missed her. She caressed her temple as she imagined what her daughter would now look like. It has been nearly two months since she has last seen her daughter.
Finishing her dinner, Kanashi stood up with her very well made kimono as she made her way to the front of the castle. She wore some make up, but not too much. Her daughter was the new beauty of the lands and the beauty she was called. But her love for her daughter was stronger than she could think that she didn't feel any jealous side to take over. Her daughter was far much beautiful and powerful than she was and could seduce any male, yet her daughter would rather choose to fight.
In many ways, she knows this was her fault. She was the one who gathered up the best trainers in Southern and Northern land to teach her daughter to fight extremely well - even better than her father. She was also the one who had made the most powerful miko, Midoriko, teach her daughter the powers of Miko's and youkais at the same time. With all of the power Kagome had in her hands, Kanashi was indeed proud. Kagome has gained her mother's nature and element youkai power and her father's black wolf youkai strength, the last the miko purifying power from Midoriko. Kagome would rule the Northern, Southern and now Eastern lands forever after she, Kanashi, dies. And she knew that her death would come soon.
Arriving to the front of the castle, she could see the proud form of her daughter's nearing.
"Kagome," Kanashi said, as she opened her arms wide open and walk towards her daughter, to soon wrap her arms around her. She could only sense her daughter's tension go away as she embraced her.
"Mother," Kagome said, as she felt her mother's arms around her.
"You have done well with your mission my daughter." She praised, as she pulled away and looked down at her.
"The wolf demon Kouga was nothing but a fool." Kagome whispered to her mother.
"Many males are." She agreed. "Well then, let us come in and discuss things inside, shall we?" She led her beautiful daughter to the entrance door.
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Laying her head back, she sighed. Her mother was so wise; she knew the exact ways of making her assure that she was all right. Kagome lifted her hand up as she could feel the warm water surround her body. She missed this hot spring, and she knew that she should enjoy it now while she can. Soon she would have to again battle or seduce.
She hated seducing males. It made her feel disgusted that they will essentially think that she would dare mate with them. She knew how to mate, but she never had done it. Her mother was surprised to find out that she, Kagome was able to make Kouga, fall in love with her without mating with him. She could see the glimmers in her mother's eyes as the information was given in a private talk.
Kouga was just a bump of her way to the top, she had much more difficult plans after him - to conquer the land of the West. The land where her father was killed and it didn't matter to her if she was also killed there. But she knew that she would not be defeated easily. She would fight until she would get her revenge - revenge for her father's death. The land of the West is probably well aware that she had killed her future mate - it didn't matter.
The Lord of the West, Inutaisho was long gone, but she will not stop until she has finally spilled the blood of his family. For how dare they? They have taken away the father she had looked up to. She knew that she somehow cared for her father when she was young, and she badly wanted her father to see her when she grew old and conquer lands. Now, she hated the family of the West for taking that chance. For now, all she could do was seek revenge.
Finishing her bath, Kagome lifted up a towel and wrap it around her. She will journey soon for the West, but for now she will handle some business with her past teacher's grave.
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
In a castle in the far west, a youkai walk through the halls of this castle, only to enter a room. The room was filled with many youkai male, some practising for the war that is soon too come. The youkai looked to the far left, as he spotted a tall figure with silver hair. Recognising him as his Lord, the youkai walked closer and saw his Lord stop his training.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, the miko Midoriko has died."
"I am well aware of this information," said Sesshoumaru, as he turned to the side and glared at his incompetent soldier.
"But the miko left a valuable item." The inu youkai said nervously, seeing the apparent anger on his Lord's usual impassive face. "The item is the jewel Shikon no Tama. This jewel is able to give a youkai strength of ten times stronger and able to give you any wish you desire." The soldier continued shakily. "Lord Inuyasha wishes to know if you would let him travel to the middle of the Southern Land in the Deep forest of Judgement for him to gain this Jewel."
Thinking through with it, Sesshoumaru catch on to what his hanyou brother really wish to do with the jewel. The hanyou wishes to use the jewel for his own desires on becoming a full demon, like he Sesshoumaru. "Tell the hanyou that I will searched for this jewel and I will decides things from then on."
"Hai, Lord Sesshoumaru."
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
"Just as I expected, that arrogant bastard won't give that thing to me. He knew what I was thinking and now he probably wishes to bribe me with it." The hanyou assumed, as he looked down at the soldier. "Damn it!" He yelled, his eyes showing pure antagonism. "That damn bastard won't ever let me do anything, just because he fucking got the chance of becoming the fucking Lord of the Western Lands."
Hands slid from behind Inuyasha's back as it wrapped around him seductively, as a woman nuzzled the hanyou's neck from the back. "Don't worry my love...he is not the only one who will go after it." She said seductively.
Inuyasha tilted his head to the side, as he looked at Kikyou. "What do you mean?"
"Before Midoriko's fatality, she has willingly taught a demoness how to have miko purifying energy. This demoness, as I believe is the princess of the Southern and Northern lands. She is as prevailing as your brother and I do believe that she will moreover be after the jewel." She smiled seductively, "They will eventually eradicate each other and you will be left to rule the Western lands."
"I don't think so, Sesshoumaru isn't easy to beat."
"But she is the infamous princess of the Southern, Northern and now Eastern lands." Kikyou said, as she tightened her arms around him. "Her exquisiteness is known by all." She added jealousy laced with her voice.
A chuckle emit from the hanyou's lips. "I doubt she will be more beautiful than you." He assumed.
Kikyou just kissed him. She wished that the information were true. But she knew it wasn't. Her beauty was nothing but clay. Maybe her hanyou lover hasn't sense it yet, but she knew that his brother has. She was made out of clay and was brought back from the dead to ruin the family of the West. Her owner, Naraku wished to do that, so he may be the one to control the Western Lands and marry the princess of the Northern, Southern and Eastern Lands.
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
In front of the Northern castle, Kagome and her mother, Kanashi stood.
"I will return." Kagome said in a smooth voice, assuring her mother. Her eyes held nothing but seriousness.
Her mother had not wanted her to leave. What was the point in her gaining the jewel? She had made a promise to her trainer a long time ago and she will have to keep it. The jewel, Shikon no Tama was hidden somewhere in the Deep Forest of Judgement near her dead teacher's grave and she had promised her dead teacher that she will find it and protect it.
"Very well then, while you are absent, I will make sure that your army is well feed and well train, so they will be ready for your upcoming battle." The queen said, as she caressed her daughter's face.
"None of them is to have any wine or sake." receiving one last embraced, Kagome pulled away. She nodded to her mother and jumped to the highest tree she could find. She will head to the Southern Lands.
…………………………………………
It has been nearly the whole day of running throughout forests that she was finally was able to reach the Southern lands. The castle her mother use is in the Northern lands - the castle of her dead father's. It made Kagome want to smirk as she thought of how many lands she rules in Japan. Nearly everywhere she goes is part of her lands.
What more could a princess want? She had all the three parts of Japan underneath her control and her mother had given her this power. So no one would even try to go to the Deep Forest of Judgement without her knowing about it afterwards.
Though, no one has ever passed the forest well or alive. The forest itself was something to be scared of. The Deep Forest of Judgement was a forest that would judge your fate. If couples were to go through it together, if the couple's love weren't strong and weren't loyal, they will end up alone and will never be able to find each other again.
Her teacher Midoriko use to live in this forest, this is where Kagome had first met Midoriko. Kagome knew why Midoriko would hide the Jewel here. It was the perfect place, but Midoriko also knew that many would searched for such power, so she has made Kagome promised that she, Kagome, will take care of it after she passes away.
Midoriko has chosen her, for Kagome knew that she has no need for the jewel what so ever. She had all the power in the world. She is an immortal, powerful, beautiful and the princess of the three lands.
Then, as Kagome jumped to the highest tree, she could see the sun start to set and the animals start to get ready for sleep. She too should rest, but she didn't even want to. She just wanted to find this jewel soon. She kept on going, as she jumped from tree to tree, when she jumped her highest, she could see the shape of the Deep Forest of Judgement. It was dark and if you were as powerful as Kagome, you could sense the power that encircled it and even see it.
Her usual blank face made a small smirk as she landed softly to the entrance of the Deep Forest of Judgement.
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Deep in a forest of the Southern Lands, the taiyoukai of the West walked gracefully. His eyes were the colour of gold, his face impassive, and his hair long and silver. He had two purple stripes on each side of his cheeks and a crescent moon proudly shown on his forehead. He travelled alone, not wanting to endanger the life of his ward if he brought her with him to the Deep Forest of Judgement.
This forest wasn't part of his lands, but he felt no need to care. So what if the princess so known for killing her mate, found out that he was here? It wasn't like she could match him in strength and power. Maybe he owned only the Western Lands. But as far as anyone can go, no one has been able to conquer the Western Lands as his or her own. The Western Land has been the most powerful. It stood alone by itself, not being allied with any of the other lands.
He knew that the death of Lord Kouga and yet by any chance, he would call the princess weak. She seduced the Eastern Lord first before being able to kill him, clearly showing him that she was nothing but a weakling. A princess who needed to seduced to be able to kill Lord Kouga. She was smart, but she was no match for him. For he, Sesshoumaru knew that he wasn't going to be seduced easily, especially by a whore.
As he walked past many trees and animals, he could sense that the Deep Forest of Judgement was near. The sun has just set and he could feel it's dark and powerful aura. The Deep Forest of Judgement was a mystery to all. He had heard tales about it, on how it can confuse minds and how maybe even the powerful will fall to it's game. He doubted that so.
Arriving at his destination, he looked up at the main trees that clearly state that after he enters, he would be in the Deep Forest of Judgement.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
It never seizes to amaze Kagome at how this forest seems to whisper words. Large animals look at her as if to devour her. The ground, instead of feeling hard, felt somehow soft and easy to land on. To her, the forest sounded as if it was whispering the words, 'Meet your future...' It did in fact sounded creepy. For the voice of it all, was creepy to her pointed youkai ears and the background of the animal's noises made it seem creepier.
Still, she wasn't scared - she shouldn't be. She knows of this forest tricks and wasn't going to fall for it. Deciding mentally that she will find Midoriko's grave and look around it, Kagome walked deeper in the forest.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Sesshoumaru closed his eyes as he listened to the whisper of the forest. "The judgement will be fulfilled..." Whatsoever it meant, he knew that he just wanted to find the jewel soon. He wasn't scared, but he felt a little wary.
Deciding that if he didn't find the dead Miko's grave soon he will have to look for a cave to stay in. Then as he walked deeper and deeper, he could see the tall branches of tree covered the view of the moon. The wind blew and cold air hit his skin.
He kept on waling until he thought that he sensed another's aura near by. Wishing to find out to who it is, he paced to its direction, carefully trying to not make any sound. The more he walked, the stronger the aura felt, only to feel it disappear. But he continued to walk on as he found a large rock with beautiful crystals surrounding it. On top of the crystals, he could see a circle purple jewel. He walked up to it and observed it. It was the grave of the dead miko.
Then, feeling the same aura he felt before, his head snapped up as he jumped to the side, dodging someone's sword from behind him. It made his blood boil at how the youkai would dare attack him. It made his youkai beast want to shred the youkai to pieces at the thought of that one attack could have in fact ended his existence. As soon as Sesshoumaru gently landed on the ground, he turned around to face the one who dare to end his life using the trickery of this forest.
There he was - his enemy. He stood in the dark like a ninja, pride and elegance seemingly written by the way he was positioned. Adjusting to the dark, he let his eyes roam the form of his adversary. He expected to find a powerful youkai - a male youkai with intimidating looks, but what he found wasn't what he expected.
He found a gorgeous female youkai.
"You dare trespass my domain, demon?"
