Twisted Love
Chapter 19: The Time Guardian, Hime
"Too late Akiya, you're way to late" Hime smirked. "To bad"
Hime looked to her side, her servants on their knees before her. "Kagura, Jesse, and Hitomi"
Kagura looked up, her fan in her hand. Jesse looked up, her scars visible to the naked eye. Hitomi smirked up at Hime. Black hair with some golden highlights, blue eyes. A handsome face for any to see, pointy ears, showing he was a youkai.
"My, my, you killed Naraku" Kikyo smirked as she came in to the room. "Never thought I would see the day when a lowly life time-keeper would kill her master"
"Shut up, Kikyo" Hime snapped. "I will not hesitate to kill you either"
"Oh, little feisty" Kikyo said.
"Kikyo, do not test me" Hime glared at her, her ruby starting to glow.
"Do not test me either" Kikyo shot back. "I am more powerful than you think"
"Right, more powerful maybe...More powerful then me, no"
"Hime.." Kikyo said through gritted teeth.
"Bow down my puppy, you shall serve me as well as everyone else" Hime narrowed her eyes, making Kikyo kneel down. "To my feet is where you shall stay."
Hime's mirror appeared before her. Showing a new face of a male. "So, this is InuYasha's new friend"
"Hime, he's a human"
"A human maybe, but I know he has time magic"
"What? I thought you were-"
"No, Hitomi, more people then I have time magic." Hime looked in to the mirror, looking closely at Bryant. "So, he knows not he posses such a great gift"
Her mirror flipped three times. "Let me see in to your heart and soul, Bryant"
"Hitomi, look, his aura is white" Hime smirked. "Very, very interesting. So far, everyone invloved with that hanyou has a great aura. Look, a white aura. Time-keepers have this aura, an aura that can only be possesed by those who truly have the time magic. A tainted heart, a broken one to. He has lost something so precious and he'll do anything to get it back."
Hime narrowed her eyes. "A woman. His love perhaps? A tainted soul, a black past. A special place in his heart for the hanyou's sister. Is it possible he has found a forbidden love for the hanyou's sister? Hitomi, it's him. I want him to join me, so together, we may control all of time. So together, we may finally posses everything we need to bring my love back in to my arms"
"Yes, mistress" Hitomi bowed.
"I will go to the hanyou's house...befriend his miko, his sister, and this Bryant."
"As you wish, Hime"
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"With everything, it's all good" InuYasha leaned back against the tub. The warm water soothing his body. "...Pretty close to heaven"
"InuYasha, move it!" Sesshomaru's voice made the hanyou jump up, the water spilling out of the tub.
"Oi, what the fuck!?" InuYasha yelled back.
"Get your ass out!"
"I just got in!"
"That's what you think!"
"You fucker..." InuYasha mumbled and pulled the small switch to let the water drain. "Asshole"
Downstairs, Kagome and Serenity were busy watching some television. The doorbell rang. "I got it, I-oof!"
Souta slid across the floor, his head hitting the front door. Getting up, he opened it. A woman dressed in a black skirt, a white shirt, a black jacket, and black high-heels was there. Long black hair curled and held in a high ponytail, crystal blue eyes, and a small smile.
"Hello, there" she said. "Are Kagome and Serenity home?"
"Yeah" Souta turned around. "Sis, Serenity! Someone is here to see you"
Kagome and Serenity went to the doorway. "Hello, I'm Kagome and this is Serenity"
"Hi, my name is Ms. Nyguna and I'm here because my company is interested in having both of you. Would you care to have lunch with me?"
"Eh, sure, we'll come" Serenity grabbed the house keys and their purses. They left the house.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Now, recently, my company has sent out a number of people to observe you two" Ms. Nyguna started. "Allow me to explain myself better"
She took out a folder and opened it. "In a number of occasions, you have been involved in. First, it says here that Kagome Higurashi died two years ago, on April 12th. You were seen dead, an autopsy was made and was paid by a Mr.Naraku. My hospital comfirmed you were dead-"
"I thought you said, you worked for a company?" Serenity interrupted. Ms. Nyguna sent her an irritated look.
"I do, but I am also head to Tokyo hospital" She frowned. "If I may continue...Two years later, you came back and claimed your younger brother, Souta Higurashi. You registered, however, under the name Tsuroka, Kagome. Tell me, Kagome, how is that possible is my hospital comfirmed your death two years ago?"
Kagome stayed silent.
"Now, Serenity Tsuroka. About a month ago, you recived a fateful wound. I was there, you were comfirmed dead. However, your brother, InuYasha, had the same wound, but no bullet. How is it that both of you got the same injury without being at the same place? He was home, you were apparently in your apartment about twenty minutes away from where he was. My nurses comfirmed a man brought a sword in to a hospital and held it over your brother and Kagome. You came back to life, how Serenity? How is it possible?"
Serenity glanced at her.
"Your family is under my watchful eye. I know something is happening here, and I will not rest until I get it" She stood up, the ruby she had on pulsed once. A wave of red light and then everything fell silent. She turned around, watching as everyone froze in time.
She smirked as she grabbed two strands of hair from Kagome and two from Serenity. She took them and got out of the resturant. As she came out, she snapped her fingers. The frozen world around her turned back in to time, seeming as thought nothing took place.
Kagome finished standing up. "Hey, where did she go?"
"I didn't see her leave, she was standing in front of us a minute ago"
"Weird woman" Kagome shrugged. "Let's go home"
"Alright"
IIIIIIIIIIIIII
A little girl ran down a field, wearing a yellow kimono with sakura blossoms on it. Long black hair chasing her, her crystal blue eyes shinning. Watching as some villagers walked by, she continued to run. Passing through the forest, watching as the sun beamed down, the wind tickle her face. A small hut by the entrance of the forest, she ran towards it.
"Mommy, mommy!" She happily yelled. "Mommy, look what I got"
The woman turned around, smiling at her daughter. "They are beautiful, honey"
The little girl gave her mother the flowers. "For you"
"Thank you, Hime" She smiled. Her long black hair held in a bun, piercing violet eyes. "Wash up, dinner is ready"
"Okay" Hime smiled, watching as the ruby necklace her mother wore seemed to glow. She looked at it, but complied with her mother's orders. Eating dinner, Hime went to bed. However, screaming woke her up. She scrambled out of the bed, running towards the door. She ran outside, gasping.
"Mommy!" Hime ran over to her mother, who laid in a pool of her own blood. "Mommy!"
"Hime" her mother sighed. With shaking hands, she grasped the ruby. "Take..this..."
"B-But, mommy"
"Take it, Hime" she ordered. "When the sun rises, hold it towards the horizon."
"Why?"
"It's a time ruby, Hime" her mother gasped. "Do as I say, Hime, please. It cannot save me this time. Remember though, my sweet little Hime, remember that time isn't something to be meddled with. When using it, be careful, for you may die"
"What are you saying, mommy?"
"Just please, remember that-" her mother smiled and with a final breath, her head fell back.
"MOMMY!"
The morning sun crept over the moutains, forming it's horizon. With tears, Hime held the ruby, pointing it towards the horizon. It pulsed in her hand before emitting a red wave. The trees stopped swaying, the people running towards them froze, the birds froze, the sound was mute. Hime gasped as she saw the sun stop rising, the world around her stop completly.
"Wh-What happened?"
"Hime"
She looked up to see a man. He smiled down on her. "Hime, keep the ruby, place it around your neck."
Hime did as he told her. "Now what?"
"Take a walk with me, Hime" He smiled, his brown eyes glowing. Hime nodded, her small hand grasping his. "Do you know what you just did?"
"No"
"You stopped time, froze everything and everyone"
"Is that even possible?"
"Look around you" the man said. "There are things in this world that people control, but no one knows. Your mother, for example, was a time-keeper. A time guardian, keeping the time gate safe from an intruders who try to meddle with time"
"...Oh"
"Now,Hime, it's your turn." he said. "Now, your mother has passed on, and you must be the one who is the new time-guardian. Do you want to accept this, Hime?"
"...Yes"
"Good"
Hime scowled. 'Protecting the time gate. I wish I never accepted that, five-hundred years ago. Becoming a slave that was held by that stupid gate!'
"Hime" Hitomi looked at his mistress.
"What?"
"Someone at the gate, a youkai"
"When will living beings understand that I will kill any who even try to meddle with time" Hime sighed and stood up. "I will be right back"
Hitomi sighed as he watched the girl leave. In a red light, she dissapeared.
'If only her mother haden't died..then maybe, just maybe her heart wouldn't be so black. Hime...what would you be like if Aitoriko never came in to your life? If you took your responsiblity at your appointed time? Hime, would you be a different person. One with a heart, perhaps? Hime of time...Hime, the time-keeper...the time guardian...one who has no heart at all, one that posses aswesome powers, yet, her heart and soul don't let her reach her goal.'
'Hime, what happened to the sweet innocent girl I befriend?'
Hime returned in another flash on red. "That was absoluty pathetic as well as boring. Hitmi, I will be in my room. Do not disturb me, please"
With that, she turned and left the room. Hitomi sighed. 'I must help her...help her find herself again...If only Aitoriko never met her, if only he haden't brainwashed her.'
'...Hime'
