Chapter Five: Events To Come
Four days had now passed. Kagome was finally waking again.
"Miko, you have re-awakened! How do you feel?"
Kagome had a headache, but it wasn't bad or anything. She looked at the servant strangely.
"Better."
Kagome continued to stare at the servant with an un-even gaze.
The servant tried to figure out what was troubling the young miko when it hit her. The servant woman bowed deep, her head low to the ground.
"Oh my. Miko, please forgive me for my rude behavior toward you. I have failed to introduce myself so, and for that I do so deserve to be punished. My name is Katanawa, Kahori. I have so graciously received the pleasure and responsibility of being your personal servant. I am solely here to guide and assist you throughout your stay here. You do have another servant to assist you with more personal duties but as of now, I am within your service." She waited a moment later before rising again and facing her knew semi-master.
Kagome's face looked confused.. but otherwise, she looked fine. Kahori traced a bit of fear in her scent. 'I wouldn't blame her though. I would be just as scared.'
Kahori began to walk to a deep cherry wood closet and opened the large doors.
"There is a kimono in here that would be perfect for you!" Kahori said as she searched through the deep cherry wood closet with brilliant flowers carved carefully on the large doors.
'Ah-ha, I've found it!' She walked back over to Kagome and showed her the outfit.
Kagome gazed in awe upon the beautiful item of clothing before her eyes. Kahori held in her hands a black kimono that would complement her skin tone quite well. Over the last two months, Kagome had gotten quite a tan traveling with InuYasha. Since there weren't any signs or rumors of shards around, they had plenty of time to rest, which left the sun plausible time to work on her overly pale complexion.
The overall color of the kimono was black, but the designs on it were very elaborate. At the tip of the v-neck top were deep purple floral designs. There was some pink mixed in which made the pattern truly unique, and beautiful. At the base of the mid-thigh dress was a different floral pattern. The flowers created where a kind with which she had never seen before. This time, they were red.
Kagome could only describe the dress as 'wow.'
Now as fancy as the dress may seem, it was still casual enough to wear without a special occasion. It just looked as if one with a royal status would wear it.
Kahori looked over the miko's features for any sign of approval when a strong scent of excitement reached her nose. 'Ah, she must like it. This pleases me so.'
Kahori smiled.
"I design all the kimono's present in this castle. Although Lord Sesshoumaru-Sama prefers a more traditional attire, I have designed a few more.."
"Romantic, pleasing, try.. revealing.. kimono's" Kagome cut in.
Kahori giggled. "You may call them what you wish, but I guess I have created them as you've said." Kahori walked over and put the kimono on the foot of the futon. (A/N: I'm picturing more modern-type clothing).
"Miko, I do believe you should get up and walk around for a while. I wish not to cross paths with Lord Sesshoumaru-Sama if he found out you were paralyzed, and still so very ill. I do believe you wouldn't enjoy it at all either."
Kahori felt Kagome's head. "I am very pleased to announce that your fever has severed greatly." Kagome seemed a little relieved, but still, anger claimed the expression to her face once again.
"I have an idea. Why don't we get you to the hot springs and get you bathed and ready for dinner. This will get you a great deal of exercise, also, this will prove good for your over-stressed muscles. I know you must be sore."
Kahori turned to once-again face Kagome. "After, you may do as you wish.. so long as you do not enter any part of the northern wing. That area is strictly forbidden."
When Kahori finished, she was surprised to see a defiant gleam in the young miko's eyes. "I suppose we should go, ne?"
"No," Kagome responded. Kahori was stunned even more so.
"Nani?"
"I said no. Not until you give me more answers. First of all.. where am I?"
Kahori was taken back yet again. "We are in Lord Sesshoumaru-Sama's castle of cour.."
"Lord Sesshoumaru-Sama this, Lord Sesshoumaru-Sama that. Please, stop saying his name.. you're giving me a headache. No. Better yet.. tell me just who this amazing 'Lord Sesshoumaru-Sama' is. What.. he your boyfriend, father.. I donno.. cousin.. or maybe.."
"Miko, stop. He is the taiyoukai of the western territory. He is Lord Sesshoumaru-Sama.." Kahori thought Kagome was playing with her.
Kagome now bore an amused expression on her face. 'Rriigghhtttt.. and I'm Ronald McDonald..'
"Miko..?.."
Kahori gasped, for she now understood.
..Too bad that's when Sesshoumaru made an appearance.
¸.·´¸.·´¨) ¸.·¨….. ¸.·´¸.·´¨) ¸.·¨
Sango, Miroku, Kirara, and Shippou had been fighting a Rat youkai, and it wasn't looking to good for any of them.
Sango was tired, sore, and had a very deep wound on her left leg. Her Hiraikotsu had been snapped into four, very unrecognizable shapes, and her lip was bleeding uncontrollably.
Miroku was unconscious.. and bleeding very badly also. When Miroku tried using his Kazanna, the rat youkai intercepted it with some type of poisonous fluid he rejected from his mouth. The fluid went straight into his hand, and in an instant.. he was paralyzed, then rendered unconscious.
Kirara was under a sleeping spell the youkai had managed to place upon her whilst fighting. She didn't look too bad, save for the dark-purple bruise on her back.
Shippou wasn't hurt too badly. He hadn't actually been fighting the rat youkai.. the battle just got too close to where he was hiding, and he got a little injured when the youkai's tail connected with his back.
Sango was their only hope, and she knew she would be unconsciousness.. or possibly killed if she didn't slay the youkai soon.
¤.¸.¤°´¯¤¤>
The rat clashed his claws into the ground, missing Sango by an inch.
She felt helpless. She was so tired she could barely even walk anymore. All the blood she had lost was affecting her more then she'd wished.
In one last attempt, Sango got up, and started to run behind the youkai.
'If only I can get close enough..'
She never made it. He'd anticipated her plan, and in the nick-of-time, swung his tail into her rib.. hard.
¤.¸.¤°´¯¤¤>
Sango fell to the ground, but never made a move to get up. She was unconscious. She'd lost.
"Yes, I have finally killed them all! The pitiful ningins, they'd slain my kin and destroyed our home. Did they truly think I was going to let them get away with it? I.."
The rat youkai's words were cut short by a huge blue blast.
"Revenge is far from what you can accomplish."
A woman surrounded by a pinkish glow was standing on a hilltop not far from where the battle had taken place.
"I believe I decide who will win or loose, and you my friend, will not win this one."
¸.·´¸.·´¨) ¸.·¨….. ¸.·´¸.·´¨) ¸.·¨
Kagome gasped at the man on the opposite side of the room. He was very tall.. she noticed he didn't exactly look human. His features were some-what like Kahori's.
He had two magenta strips on either side of his face, and a crescent moon on his forehead.
He had a rather large widows peak, and had ears unlike any she'd ever seen.. well, save for the fairy-tale books her mother read to her when she was younger..
Sesshoumaru looked in Kagome's direction when she began to scoot as far away from him as the futon he provided would allow.
He smirked.
"Lord Sesshoumaru. My master, is there anything wrong?"
He turned to face his servant. "What of the mortal?"
Kahori saw him turn to once again face the miko, who was still smashed against the far end of the futon.
With a sigh, she turned back to her lord and spoke. "The miko's fever has decreased greatly, her wounds are tended, and she has been up for the past ten hours. I believe she is overall.. okay."
Sesshoumaru's left brow quirked up a little.
"Overall?"
He watched his servant stare nervously at him. "I grow impatient. Speak now."
Kahori jumped at her master's tone.. and began to speak at once.
"I am afraid to report that.. the miko, Kagome.. I'm afraid she has.. lost her memory."
(A/N: I wanted to stop it right there.. but I'll clue you in a little with Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Kirara before I stop it!)
¸.·´¸.·´¨) ¸.·¨….. ¸.·´¸.·´¨) ¸.·¨
Sango opened her eyes to find her wounds bandaged, although she couldn't find any one else. She was lying on a field she'd never seen before, but it looked safe, and the rat youkai was gone.
"Sango, I see you have re-awakened."
Sango jumped at the angelic voice, and turned to the direction of which it came. What she saw shocked her.
Before her, a mythical youkai woman stood, a purplish-pinkish illumination surrounding her.
Her eyes were deep green, her hair was a particularly dark shade of red.. but looked pretty nonetheless.
She was clothed in a midnight blue gown with dark green decorations embroidered throughout the entire bottom half.
She was particularly tall, and she was skinny.. but she still looked unlike anything Sango had ever seen.
Sango tried to speak, only to find she couldn't. Her throat wouldn't allow any words to pass. The woman had put a spell on her.
"So, you wish to speak do you? Well then, shall we hear of what you wish to speak?"
Sango screamed as her part of her throat was ripped out. A covering.. a spell rather that disabled her speaking ability was taken off, rather painfully. Sango began to vomit, a little of her blood was pouring out the side of her mouth.
A moment later, she was fine.
"Sorry young-one. Speak."
Sango breathed out for a few more minutes and began. " Who are you? What do you want? Where are we? Where are Miroku, Kirara, and Shippou?.. Wh.."
"Silence yourself. Allow me to answer said questions before bombarding me with more."
She paused.
"I am Sora, goddess of nature. I am the protector of the sky. My counter-part, 'fate' has seen the encounter of a young miko, and the prince of the western lands. The fate they will bring may change the outcome of the world. A great enemy will re-arise in time, and the young miko will not understand what to do to save the world."
Sora paused briefly, then continued.
"In order to save the world, the young miko, and the young prince must join their powers together, and become one with each other. They must figure this out for themselves, and they must decide to do this themselves. The young prince is not foolish; I believe he will do what is to be done.. I have faith at least." She sighed. "Then again, his over-driven pride may just get in the way."
"Are you referring to Kagome, and Sesshoumaru?"
"Indeed. Now, for your fourth question, your friends are over there, by the spring. They should be arising in merely an hour. They are fine."
Sango looked to the direction of which the woman was pointing when a spring came into view. The scenery was amazing.
Sango was back in reality when she heard Sora's voice.
"Young one, be warned. You and your friends take part in this as well. I advise you to go to the young prince's castle and assist them. If anything bad were to happen, the fate of this world-to-be.. is doomed."
Sora began to fade as her last words of warning were spoken. "Nothing must interfere. The key to saving the world lies within the miko. heath my warning, time is running out."
