To Be With You
Chapter 4
Kagome reached the girl's C.R. "Who is that weird guy? How did he know about the shikon-no-tama?" she said, still out of breath from her escape.
She fumbled in her pocket and got the jewel. She decided to bring it because it felt like there was some kind of force she can't explain that urges her to bring the jewel.
She was really not comfortable with it around her. The jewel feels like destruction and sorrow…
………
She woke up at dawn, all sweaty and cold. She had a weird dream again. And every time she has this dream, it seems like an invisible force is pulling her back to the forest.
What is in that damn forest? She thought to herself. She was confused and tired of thinking about the mysteries of this place. Why did they end up here anyway?
It was destiny… said someone in the back of her mind.
Only I can make my destiny. No one will tell me what I have to do. She answered angrily.
That is true for some…ordinary…people. But you…you are not just any kind of girl. Your destiny is already laid down even before you were born.
This time, it was not the voiceat the back of her mind. It seems like the Jewel of Four Souls is the one speaking to her.
Then silence ruled the room. She tried to get some more sleep ate first. Geez! It was barely five in the morning.
But she tossed and turned for what seemed like eternity. Getting impatient and a little furious, she got up and dressed.
She will head to the forest and find some answers…And she won't stop until she gets them.
………
The cold wind met every step of Kagome. Her hair was made to dance with the beat of the wind. Good thing she decided to wear her thick sweater instead of the one she usually wears.
After a few minutes of walking in the cold midst of the streets, she finally reached the forest. The source of all of her questions, mysterious experiences, and unanswerable dreams.
The barrier that encloses the forest is more pronounced at this time of the day…when its surroundings are all dark and dangerously quiet.
Just one look at this forest makes you want to go near it like someone was inviting you in. And you could never resist its venomous invitation…
Kagome held the shikon-no-tama tightly in her left hand.
It is time… she thought walking nearer the edge of the enchanted forest.
She was about to touch the barrier and see if she could go through. Her hand was inches from it when she felt something wrong stir within it.
It felt evil and it felt more of destruction than the shikon-no-tama. Other creatures stirred with it. But its presence is more pronounced. It made the others feel like insignificant insects in its presence.
Then she heard it…
………
Kikyo woke up from a strange dream. She sat on her bed stunned for a few minutes and realized that she was still in the comforts of her own home. She looked around…everything looked normal. But she felt something wrong within her.
She knew it! She knew from the start that they should not have come in this creepy place. It seemed so normal in an ordinary person's eye…But it was keeping a secret in its deep depths.
Oh stop it stupid! She scolded herself. I still have classes so I need to go to sleep. No more weird thinking or my mind would burst any moment!
She lay back in her fluffy bed and forced herself to think that everything is normal…even though she knew everything is not…
………
She heard a voice that can make the hairs at the back of your neck stand.
"Give me power…" it said in a harsh voice.
She felt a chill in her spine. She felt cold engulf her insides.
"Who are you?…What are you?" she tried to ask as if expecting it to answer her directly.
"Give it to me…" it spoke again, with the same cold, harsh voice it used.
She was then tempted to finally go through the strange barrier that divides the world where she stands and the world of the power-hungry creature.
She seems to be hypnotized.
Kagome's fingers already touched it and was going through when…
"What do you think you're doing!"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Too short is it not? I know, I know…that's why I'm hiding myself right now…Hehe…It's too short and it's a cliff hanger and I put too many mysteries in it now. Waaah! I'm very sorry but I couldn't think of what to right next! I promise to clear it up in the next chapters!
Uhh…so now, I already involved all three of them: Inuyasha, Kagome and Kikyo. They're all finally in the mystery and adventure. Romance won't start until the later chapters. It takes time to develop, you know…So, you must now have an idea on who is the creature in the forest…hehe…But if you still don't then wait for my updates!
Please Review! Please! I need it! Thanks very much!
