Chapter 2: Persuasion and Realization
A teenage girl walked down a golden hall in the holy temple. When reaching the center she knelt down and waited. Being through this ritual so many times she knew what was happening. A rugged man with many scars, shaggy hair, with a thick beard, stepping towards her. His long robes dragging on marble floor before he stopped in front of her.
Placing a hand on her shoulder her spoke, "Kagome my child, there is another lost soul in grieving. I fear he will do something he will regret. He goes by the name Inuyasha. He recently lost a love one and committed murder because of it. You need to lead him back to the path. Are you ready for this mission, Kagome?"
The girl named Kagome looked up into the tired mans eye so full of concern and wisdom. "I will show him the way to heaven and stop him from making the mistake I did years ago." Believing she was dismissed she stood and turned to leave before the man called out to her.
"Kagome! WAIT!"
Stopping in her tracks Kagome turned, waiting to listen.
Catching up with the girl he spoke urgently, "There's something you need to know about the one Inuyasha lost."
With Inuyasha
Sunset was coming. Slowly but the wait was worth it. At least in Inuyasha's mind. He was sitting in the exact spot where Kikyo died, with his claws extended, ready to slit his throat. The same way Kikyo died.
Looking up he saw the sun fading behind the mountains and the crescent moon appearing clearer. 'It is time. I shall see you soon, Kikyo.' His face stern, unafraid, ready to complete the task. He started to raise his hand before the hand was gently grabbed by a young woman.
Looking up he saw her rich brown eyes were full of fear and kindness. She looked very pale. Her robes were a silvery white, glistening in the moonlight. But what caught his attention was the large pair of wings connected to her back.
'What is this beautiful creature?'
As if hearing his question she spoke, "My name is Kagome, and I know yours is Inuyasha. I am the Angel of Suicide. I am an assistant of God, creator of all living things."
Finding his voice Inuyasha replied, "An Angel? God? No such things are real." Sighing, the dog demon started to stand, but the girl had a strong grip on him.
Pulling Inuyasha back down on the ground she stared at him, just looking. To Inuyasha it was as if she was looking right at his soul, which made him quite uncomfortable. Leaning back slightly Kagome spoke again. "You must believe me when I say the life you are taking is not worth it."
Before Inuyasha could speak she continued, "You may not realize it but you do mean something to this world. You have so much talent but you are so ignorant of the worlds beauty, that you see nothing to live for. Just like the man that could speak many languages but bought a cow and not a horse to travel. No common sence. Do you even know what would have happened to your soul once you died?"
The sad and disparate look in this woman's eyes left him speechless and could only mutter one word, "...afterlife..."
Sighing she continued, "Yes... but where up or... down?"
The last word she whispered softly as if it was cursed. But it made Inuyasha realize that he hadn't really thought about it. Where would his soul go? "Up?"
Sighing again, Kagome stood up making Inuyasha do the same, never losing eye contact. "Things don't work that way Inuyasha. Within the 10 commandments God says 'Thou shalt not kill' and taking your own life is a way of killing. If you completed what you were planning to do tonight, your soul would have to commit suicide over and over again while having it torn apart by the demons of hell for all eternity. Do you understand now?"
The man in question bent his head, thinking about this new information, Weather it was true or not... Inuyasha didn't know. Looking back up into Kagome's eye, now shinning with concern, he said, "For all I know you are a figment of my imagination, and you are making up lies so I wouldn't be with Kikyo. Where is your proof?" In hopes she would give him more then just a threat of God to live
Tilting her head up towards the night sky, her eyes closed, as if waiting for something. With a slight nod Kagome locked eyes with Inuyasha once again. "I will first show you the beauty of this land. Then I will show you things that will help show you what you can do to improve this world. Lastly, you will be given proof of Angels existence. God's, well if you have faith you should already know that answer. Now hold my hand tightly and listen to my words.
Turning away from Inuyasha, holding his right hand with her left, Kagome flapped her wings levitating the couple off the ground. Once reaching a certain height Kagome began to sing with a heavenly blessed voice.
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moon lit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
Just then they passed a small village with what looked like a very comfortable lifestyle.
We're holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Once those lyrics were song her grip on his hand tightened as they flew even higher observing the luscious landscape blending in with the ocean
All across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills, the forest and the steams
Down below them they passed numerous village all a blur of life.
Children gaze
Open mouthed taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
As if the world was obeying her lyrics some children who still wanted to play spotted them as well as their parents. A lot of them looked shocked but some were gazing in acknowledgment and understanding. As if they knew their reason for flying.
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over eyes see mountain floating by
Further on, Kagome led him over tree tops, gazing into the eyes of animals, and then over the top of Mount Fiji, with that glorious peak.
Suddenly
Swooping low over an ocean deep
Rising up a mighty monster from his sleep
Turing to her left she led Inuyasha over the surface of the salty water and then spiraling upward as a large whale, in all its glory, jumpy gracefully into the air before plunging back into the watery depths.
We're walking in the air
We're dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
At long last Kagome flew back the way they came gazing at everything they had past before, only to land back in the field where they first met.
TBC
I could continue. But I think a third chapy is in order. This has a religious meaning to it so I thought three chapters in respect of the trilogy.
