Some of you have stated that this story is similar to The Perfect Mistake. I have read it and it's actually good, and yes some of our plots are quite similar, but on the contrary, I didn't made Inuyasha and Kikyou the perfect couple. Inuyasha's soul mate is someone else. For my story, I have collected some ideas from various Chinese and other Southeast's movies, and put them together. I was actually influenced by this one old movie I saw a long ago, where the goddess fall in love with the main guy, but he was destined to be the main girl's soul mate. It was actually touching though. Anyways, I do recommend for you guys to read The Perfect Mistake. Her skill in writing is better than mine.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
The Wrong Soul Mate
Chapter 2: Broken String
The other stone hung lifelessly against Inuyasha's as the string didn't turn bright red like it suppose to be.
Kagome's face leaned forward to the tree as she examined the stone, trying to find some dent mark that might have effect it. Nothing. Not even a smudge of dirt was on it. Her brows frowned.
When two souls are chosen to be soul mates, their names are engraved in a rectangle stone that appeared in the ancient tree. The stones are tied together around the edges with a red string, meaning they are ready to be soul mates. That is where Kagome's job comes next. It's her duty to fly down to Earth and tied the red string around their ankles to awaken their love for each other.
She pensively looked at the two stones. "Maybe it will glow when I'll tie it around their ankles." Maybe. She read the two names again, making sure. 'Sakamoto Inuyasha... and,' The female name was no other than 'Miyasaki Kikyou.'
She then summoned a scroll to appear in front of her with a quill. "Sakmoto Inuyasha and Miyasaki Kikyou." She read out loud as the quill scribbled their names on the scroll by itself, and then disappears when it was done.
She grabbed and rolled the scroll and tucked it safely inside her kimono sleeve. Lastly, she untied the red string from the stones. It disappeared when it wrapped gently around her index finger.
She smiled as she walked to the edge of the pavement and jumped off.
"How many times do I have to tell you to put that green plant near the edge of the water!" Inuyasha yelled to the poor girl, who nervously holding the plant. "Do you want to get fire?"
"S-sorry Sir." She nervously replied as she carried the pot of plant to the edge of the water platform.
"Calm down, Inuyasha. You're scaring all your workers now." A handsome man with a short ponytail stood beside him.
"I'm paying them to work, not to be a lazy bum like someone I know." Inuyasha quickly glanced at him.
"I'm hurt, Inuyasha." He raised his hands in defense. "You know I tried my very best to help you and this company to succeed as best as I can."
"You mean by groping our female workers?" He walked past him toward the bridge that lay across the huge water stream. This was after all a water amusement park.
"They didn't complain, right? Beside I'm helping them to release their stress."
Inuyasha turned around and faced him. "You mean like how Sango released her's?"
"She was born to be aggressive."
Inuyasha tried to hold his laughter. "Y-yeah." He turned around and walked across the bridge.
"Miroku!" A female voice shouted from Miroku's walkie-talkie.
"Speak of the devil." Miroku muttered.
"What's with all this models at the front of our counter!"
'Even her voice sounds dangerous.' He thought. "Oh, those models, I think it's a great way for them to help advertise our show."
"Come here Miroku!" Her voice boomed from the walkie-talkie.
"Yes, M'am." He walked off toward a building at the entrance.
Inuyasha shook his head after hearing those two conversations. "It would be a miracle if those two ever become a couple."
He walked toward one of the bench and fall tiredly on to it. It was hot, very hot indeed. 'Thank God to whoever invented shorts.' He wouldn't even survive wearing a suit in this kind of weather.
He lifted up his water bottle and drank it thirstily. He was relief when the cold liquid gently washed away the dryness in his throat. He sighed as he tilted his head upward, but his eyes squinted later when the rays of the sun burned his face.
"Damn sun." He lifted his bottle again, but soon realized it was empty. "Damn!" He muttered as he walked off toward the building.
Kagome landed safely as she looked around, trying to find those two soul mates, but there were no one in sight. She took out the scroll and unrolled it. Just then, a young man with silver hair walked towards her.
The name Inuyasha started to glow. "So that's must be Inuyasha. But where is Kikyou?" She smiled when she spotted a woman with long black hair came out from a building and started to walk toward her. "Right on time."
They both turned at the same time at the corner, and crashed to each other. At this cue, Kagome pointed her index finger toward them as the red string wrapped around their right ankles. When it tried to form a bow, the string broke in half.
Kagome's eyes widen in horror.
"Hey wench, watch where you're going!" Luckily Inuyasha hold the wall from falling backward.
"Excuse me, you are mistaken. YOU'RE the one that crashed into me first!" Kikyou's eyes flared with anger as she rubbed her head.
"No, no. This is not supposed to happen!" Kagome shouted, but those two didn't seem to notice a young woman dressed in a kimono stood beside them.
"Look Lady. I think there's something wrong with your eyes because you sure can't read the sign CLOSED from the entrance." He smirked at her.
"I was actually looking forward for an apology from you, but then again, I guess a barbarian doesn't know how to apologize." Her eyes were cold, yet dangerous.
It already sent chills across Kagome's back, but it didn't seem to have the same effect on Inuyasha. "What you just called me!"
She smirked back when his smirk was wiped away from his face. "I think you hear me perfectly well unless there was something wrong with your ears."
"Why you--" Around another corner in front of him, he noticed one of the security man walking by. "Security!"
The man stopped, and turned around. He soon rushed toward Inuyasha when he spotted him.
"Yes Sir?"
"This woman is trespassing. Kick her out." He folded his arms in triumph.
The security grabbed her arms. "W-what! No, you can't do that!" She screamed at him. "You don't know who I am!"
"Apparently you don't know who I am too!" He smirked at her again.
She gave him one of her dangerous icy stare before she was dragged away.
Now that glare did send chill on his back, but he shook it off when he walked toward the door of the building.
"It had never happen before! Why now?" Kagome pick up the two broken strings. "This is not good. Not good at all."
"What's wrong, Lady Kaede?" Kagome asked as she showed the elder goddess and the kids the long red string that was now broken into two pieces.
Kaede examined the broken string. "This has never happen before! What happen, Kagome?"
"I don't know. I was tying the string around their ankles, and then suddenly, it broke!"
"Maybe you tied it too tightly Kagome?" Takeo asked.
"Takeo, every couple I have tied in the past was always tied tightly or else it will loosen, but this problem," She held the end of the string for him to see. "I have never encountered like this before!" She stared nervously at the string before letting it go.
"Hmmm." Kaede stared at the string pensively.
"What's wrong Lady Kaede?"
"I don't know exactly why, but the only thing that I know now is..." Kagome and the two kids leaned forward. "Ye have to go down to Earth and fix the problem yourself."
"What!" Their heads jerked back, swiftly.
"You have to disguise yourself as a mortal and fix the problem first." Kaede repeated herself again.
"Me? Dress as a mortal?" Kagome stared at her like she had two heads. "You're got to be a kidding?"
"Kagome is a goddess!" Saku replied. "You can't strip her immortality like that!"
"Yeah!" Takeo agreed.
"Whose say I was taking her immortality away from her?" Kaede looked at them. "This is the only way to fix it without the high councilors finding it out first."
Kagome shuddered to think what kind of punishment they will bestow to her if they find out about this incident.
"Okay. But--" Kaede pushed her toward the edge of the platform.
"Don't worry; you have these two over there to help you." She gave them Don't-you-mess-this-up look. "I'll stay here and try to find what's the problem is."
"But if I have to pretend to be a mortal, who will I stay with?"
"You will live with him of course, but you must disguise yourself as one of his roommate's long-distance cousin."
"What?" Kagome tried to stop the woman's strength from pushing her forward, but didn't succeed in doing so. She may look old, but boy, her muscular strength shouldn't be laugh at.
"By the way, Sango's long-distance cousin's name is Rin." Kaede added before she pushed her off the cloud.
"Huh?" Again her sentence was cut short as she felled toward Earth.
AN: I have this idea for Chapter Three, so stay tune for the next chapter! Thanks lilacks for noticing the errors on this chapter. I suck at grammer.
