Demons in the Darkness by Irate Prophet
Chapter VIII
Kagome slowly sank in a sea of darkness, nothingness around her, she couldn't tell what was up and what was down, the only thing she could feel was loneliness there was no energy of life what so ever not even her own. Kagome had no will to fight this, her hope was gone destroyed by the man that killed her family, he killed them for the Jewel that once rested inside her body, the Jewel she was cursed to protect, Kagome thought it was safe in the modern era she was wrong.
'Where am I, am I dead?' thought Kagome, 'Wait the arrow, I remember the arrow striking my back, then it is true I'm dead this must be hell for all the death I've caused, funny though killed by a dark Priestess after all the battles I've faced done in by a shot in the back. I should fight this try to purify the curse the dark Priestess placed on me,' Kagome thought her hope raising a little then just as it came it left.
'What's the point I don't have the power to fight him, all this death I've caused is enough, I don't want anymore blood on my hands I'm so tired.' Thought Kagome, suddenly as her hope was at it's lowest a bright light shun in the darkness Kagome shielded her eyes it was so bright
"Kagome don't give up, you may have had a setback in your quest but that doesn't meen you should give up. What about InuYasha with out you he is nothing, he won't fight for anything if he does he will fail. With out you to encourage him and need protection from him, the power he needs to win will be unattainable. And think of this when InuYasha fails who will protect the children with out you they are prime picking for demons everywhere," Spoke the powerful fatherly voice from the light
"That is why the demons have been attacking, for the children, wizard children increase a demons power tenfold, with you gone Meldrick will attack the school and eat the most powerful students." Fear gripped Kagome's heart
"Yes Kagome they will be the ones chosen, your Sister Hermione, Her friends Ron and Harry, and even Malfoy, they are the four strongest students, the rest of the students Meldrick will devour over time to gain more strength if you choose to remain here everyone at Hogwarts will be slaughtered." Kagome knew she couldn't let them die she had to go back and fight.
"How am I going to fight him he's too strong?" Kagome asked, unexpectedly the light grew stronger and stronger, Kagome covered her eyes the light enveloped the darkness, when Kagome opened her eyes she wasn't floating in darkness she sat atop a mountain peak, when she looked around she was surrounded by mountain peaks, beneath her was a valley covered in a think fog. Kagome slowly made her way down the mountain into an elegantly beautiful valley; tall grass moved like waves against the warm wind, birds sang gently in the scattered tall trees, this valley was so peaceful not a signal dark aura. Kagome walked threw the valley and came upon a large three story Japanese temple, it was made of red brick, bamboo and gold, there were two dragon statues at the base of the tall stone staircase leading to the large red door with gold engravings of dragons, Kagome pushed open the heavy doors the hinges creaked as the ancient door was opened, Kagome walked into a giant room, with tall red pillars holding up the deep red ceiling, there were several Dragon statues hugging the walls.
"Welcome Kagome," spoke the fatherly voice at talked to her before, Kagome whirled around a smaller then normal gold Japanese dragon stood behind her, and Kagome gave the dragon a confused look
"This is not my form I am much larger in truth, I am Sui-Riu king of dragons, he spoke, he had thick horns and a flowing green main, with sharp claws and a thin white moustache
"I'm glad you have come, I feared you might never learn the truth thus never be able to reach here." He spoke as if he knew Kagome but she had never met him
"What do you meen truth?" Kagome questioned raising an eyebrow, he looked at Kagome surprised
"If you do not know, how did you come to float in the darkness?" he asked
"I was cursed by a dark priestess and died." Sui-Riu face was extremely troubled
"What am I suppose to know?" Kagome asked, Sui-Riu sighed
"There is a prophecy I must tell you for you to understand first."
"What prophecy?" Kagome asked
"In a time long sense past, when demons roamed the land, drenching the earth in human blood, a union shall be made, and a child born, her blood shall be tainted with the tears of Angels, her soul shall be ageless and empowered by the fire that the Dragon magic burns. Upon her death she shall take the throne and be reborn as the Empress of Dragons." Kagome blushed at the prophecy she thought it was beautiful but didn't know what it had to do with her
"What I am trying to explain to you is that you are the child in that prophecy, your mother an Angel and your father a Dragon. Haven't you wondered why you've never lost your Angel powers on any given night?" Kagome eyes went wide she never thought of the reason why she never turned completely human, she figure it was luck of the draw. Kagome couldn't believe she was the daughter of a dragon, her mother never told her, that her father was a human just a very powerful kind man Kagome always assumed her father was mortal.
"But I don't understand if I am half dragon wouldn't I look it." Sui-Riu smiled
"No only your true form would show signs of dragon heritage, I know what you are thinking that is still a human form, your true form is a giant animal with dragon traits though I can't say what they are it's different for every person."
"But what about Kikyou?" Kagome asked
"Yes you are her incarnation, but only in facial appearance, and spiritual powers, don't forget Dragon's have magic too that is why your powers have always been stronger then others, Dragon magic is very similar to Mortal magic, it is unclear how mortals were given magic some say a dragon gave it to them while others say they stole it."
"Wait if Dragon's can talk why don't they in the real world?" Kagome asked
"They can, just don't bother many Dragons are arrogant and believe mortals are not worthy to communicate with." Kagome nodded her head
"So who is my father?" Kagome asked, Sui-Riu smiled
"I am your father Kagome," Kagome nearly fainted she couldn't believe this it was unbelievable never in all her years had she ever heard of anything like this,
"Wait, you said the child in the prophecy will be born in a time when demons roamed the land, I wasn't." argued Kagome, Sui-Riu smiled
"Yes you were, you were born and raised here but when demons started attacking you, your mother erased your memories of this place and changed your form to a seven year old human child where your mother left you with the mortals and you grew up like a human none the wiser. You are Kagome, Daughter of the Angel Dezaray and the Dragon Sui-Riu your power is legendary and your birth a blessing, the Prophesy has been told in the great tails sense the time of the first dragons." Kagome sat down letting this all sink in everything she once believed about herself was a lie,
"What do you meen changed to a seven year old how old am I?" Kagome question, Sui-Riu face grew nervous
"You are 256 years old." Kagome was shocked, and nearly fell over
"Couldn't I have lived here, or in the wizard world with her, why did she abandon me?" Kagome mumbled to her self
"Your mother was killed my the demons she hid you from when you were young, if you known your father was a dragon from the very beginning word would have quickly spread, and people fearful of your power might have tried to kill you, or evil people might have tried to gain control of you, there are many reasons why your mother left you with the humans whatever the answers to those questions may be remember she loved you dearly." Kagome looked up tears in her eyes she knew he was right she had to fight for those who couldn't
"How am I going to defeat Meldrick he's so powerful?" Kagome asked
"Use the power of your ancestors, Your Mothers angelic courage with your Fathers electric strength, acknowledge your dragon heritage and the power will come to you." Kagome close her eyes searching her soul, Kagome began to pulse her hair began to flow, like a wave white washed over the raven black, her finger nails grew longer her eyes shot open pure cat slits, but an intense pain erupted from inside Kagome, she screamed in pain flashing her inch long fangs her scream turn to a load fearsome roar then darkness.
Kagome awoke in a strange room cedar walls with oak floors
Gorgeous Japanese Dragon paintings adorned the walls; the bed was incredibly comfortable black slit blankets, with an 18th century bed frame, Kagome slid out from under the warm blankets she reached for her coat but stopped letting remain on the chair next to the bed, slowly Kagome opened the heavy wooden door to her room to an adjoining hallway, the last thing Kagome could remember was an intense pain all over her body, she wore dark green pants even her tail was seen, black boots, with a black shirt, with one long sleeve and a spaghetti strap for the other,
'How long was I asleep?' Kagome wondered to her self, she managed to find her way out of the temple not a single living thing with in sight
"You're finely awake," Kagome turned, behind her was a man wearing jade green robes, he had black hair with forest green cat eyes he was rather handsome a kindly yet strong face, Kagome looked at him confused
"Dragons here can take many forms; this is the form a used when I met your mother,"
"How long was I asleep?" Kagome asked
"Four days in this world time travels differently here four days here could be two weeks in your world, the sudden awakening of your dragon blood overwhelmed you it's not surprising you slept so long." Sui-Riu said, Kagome didn't know how to feel about her newly found father, this could be a demon trick to try and gain her trust then kill her when her back is turned, but she's already dead so that kills that idea
"You must be hungry come we shall eat." Sui-Riu extended his arm for her to follow which Kagome excepted, and dinner was amazing, fresh fruit, BBQ chicken, roast beef, and pork, with corn on the cob, garlic mashed potatoes, and steamed carrots. Plus an extremely delicious cream pie, it was made from the green Meldix fruit, it only grows in the Land of Dragon.
'That's odd I know there is something I have to do, but I can't remember what, oh well if it's important I'm sure I'll remember.' Thought Kagome,
"Is there anything wrong Kagome?" Sui-Riu asked, Kagome looked up from her puzzled look
"No nothing," Kagome excused herself she thought a walk might clear her mind, she walked the dark halls of the temple the only light by small candles giving just enough to find your way, she walk within the deathly silence until a child's scream forced her to turn around, but nothing was there only shadows, Kagome reluctantly continued her walk this time the hairs on the back of her neck stood up, slowly she turned and running down the hall was a transparent girl, she wore a school uniform, she had curly brown hair, Kagome knew her from somewhere but where, close behind her where two boys a red head and dark haired boy with glasses the boy with glasses held a blue orb in his hand, they ran right threw Kagome and seconds after a large bear creature and bull ran out of the shadows after the children, the bull threw his cub tripping the red head and the girl, the boy with glasses stopped and turned to help them, but the girl started saying something and the boy stopped he looked back down the hall then his friends he reluctantly ran down the hall disappearing, the bull and bear creatures picked up the kids holding them under there arms walking back threw Kagome disappearing. Kagome stared down the hall in amazement, and then the screams if hundreds of children echoed threw the hall so loud Kagome had to cover her ears, finely the screaming stopped
"That's it I remember." Kagome announced
"I knew you would remember, Meldix fruit blocks the memory of something important you have to do, if you don't want to do it, you won't remember. I am sorry I put you threw that but for you to win this battle I had to be sure you wanted to fight it, if you forced yourself too you would have failed, and the price of your failure would have been too high." Said Sui-Riu standing in the shadows holding Kagome's now dark green coat, bow, and sword in his hands
"You must hurry; the demons might have already taken the school by now." Kagome took her things from Sui-Riu smiling up at him
"Thank you…Father." Suddenly Sui-Riu pushed Kagome but she didn't fall instead she landed in the sea of darkness again, a shot of bright white light shot out from the portal to the Land of Dragons.
"Look with in your self my child; you have the power to purify." Kagome closed her eyes and prayed a bright pink light erupted from Kagomes body, then Kagome awoke in the cave she fought Meldrick before only this time it was empty, the scents were stale almost gone, the cave it's self was in shambles ready to fall apart, claw marks, and acid burns adorned the wall with a large gapping hole in the roof, Kagome's cloths had changed, she wore black pants tucked into black boots, with a black sleeveless shirt with red claw marks across the front, and long dark green coat, with her bow and sword on her back. Kagome walked out of the cave in a daze seven feet of snow covered the ground and the snow still going strong, the air was extremely cold, if you took a deep breath your lungs felt the sharp cold pain this cold gave, the cold didn't bother Kagome intact she thrived in it.
"InuYasha must have gone after Meldrick, after I died if I find Meldrick I'll find InuYasha I hope." Kagome turned her head sharply glaring into the woods she could hear something like chopping amongst the falling snow, Kagome slowly walked over to investigate the perplexing sound, when closer Kagome seen the Bull demon she saw in her vision before
"Hey why don't you someone your own size." Kagome spat the bull demon glared at her
"Fine I'll pick on you." The demon charged Kagome but with one swipe of her claws it was destroyed, Kagome walked over to the tree the Bull demon was chopping and she found a scent she almost expected to find,
"Do you go looking for trouble or is it just a hobby?" asked Kagome to young Harry Potter hiding under the old tree stump, no one could blame him for hiding if he had taken on the demon he would be bull food right now
"I found you… Kyoko, you are the exterminator?" Kagome looked surprise at Harry how did he know she was the exterminator or how to find her then she saw the glow orb in his hand, and recognised it as the orb she gave Dumbledore so they could find her if anything happened
"Come on out of there and tell me what happened."
Flash Back:
Hermione had just come back to school yesterday and was getting settled most people left her alone thinking that's what she wanted, but Harry knew otherwise when in mourning even though you think you want to be alone you want nothing more then someone to comfort you, He found her in the library studying furiously about demons anything she could get her hands on.
"Hermione," she looked up startled
"Hello Harry," she said in a sad happy voice
"What are you doing?"
"Studying what else would I be doing?" she asked, Harry figured she was doing one of two things either learning about demons too kill the ones the killed her parents or occupying her mind maybe both,
"Killing them won't bring your parents back." Harry reasoned,
Their not my parents," she mumbled
"What?" Harry asked
"I was adopted, I have an older sister she's an exterminator, maybe if I learn about demons I can find her?" she said
"You've known this all this time we've been friends?" Harry asked slightly hurt
"No it was in a book I found, and their will." Harry took a deep breath
"Kyoko left school, she left shortly after you." Hermione stopped put the book away and leaned on the stacks
"If I stop I think, and it hurts too much." Harry took her hand in his
"I'm sure they'll find the demons that did this and make them pay." Hermione smiled, then suddenly a load explosion shook the entire school, Harry grabbed Hermione's hand and ran to find one the Professors running into Ron along the way the Trio was pulled into an empty hallway by Professor Dumbledore
"Professor what's going on?" asked Harry
"We are being attacked by demons, take the orb to the forbidden forest and it will guide you too the exterminator that has been helping the school, now go quickly." Professor Dumbledore pushed the children down the hallway it lead too a side door that was about twenty feet from the forest edge, but the Trio didn't get far before a Bull and Bear demons ran after them, the bull threw his giant cub and tripped Ron and Hermione, Harry stopped to help them
"Keep Running Harry, find the Exterminator she's are only hope, RUN!" Hermione cried, Harry looked at Hermione then down the hall he didn't want to leave them but he knew he couldn't save them, his heart breaking Harry turned away and ran as fast as his young legs could carry him, Harry burst out into the five feet of snow covered the grounds, Harry hesitated he didn't know what way to go he held out the orb infront of him moving it back and forth he figured he should go the way where the light was the brightest, Harry looked behind him he could hear something big coming going on instinct he ran into the woods, Harry ran for what seemed like forever he had no clue where he was going he was being guided by the orb he could only hope it knew where to go. Harry knew he couldn't stop the Bull demon was slow but on his tail the whole way if by some chance Harry lost the demon it wouldn't be for long
End Flashback:
As Kagome and Harry made their way back to the school Harry couldn't stop staring at Kagome he marvelled at her white hair, pointed ears, and incredible blue eyes Kagome could sense a change in Harry aura it grew darker.
"What is bothering you Harry?" she asked, Harry looked at Kagome she hadn't even looked at him but she knew he was troubled
"Their dead aren't they," For the first time Kagome looked back at Harry; he was transfixed with her eyes he couldn't turn away from her Kagome didn't say anything the world melted away in her eyes she had a power over him, and Harry knew it if she asked him anything he wouldn't lie to her just bluntly tell the truth.
"I don't believe you friends are dead Harry, they are too important to Meldrick," Harry looked at her confused, "Meldrick is the head demon I went to kill,"
"But why are they important to him?" Harry asked
"You know how some muggle kids are stronger then others, faster, smarter,"
"Yea,"
"Well it's the same in the magic world, but I think you know that, and Meldrick needs the four strongest students in the school to increase his power so he needs to keep the students alive until he can find them. So I believe your friends are alive for now." Kagome continued on her way Harry sat thinking for a minuet before catching up
"But the teachers are way more powerful then us, why not go after them?" Harry asked
"Because children are pure, there is no darkness in their souls, pure souls increase the demons power and Wizard children increase it ten times that of a normal child. Some evil demon Black smiths use children to increase the demonic power of their newly made swords."
"How,"
"Back in the Feudal era there was a demon sword-maker Kaijinbo, he soaked a sword in the blood of ten murdered children too increase its power." Harry went pale Kagome smiled
"Don't worry he's not alive, in the end it was one of his demonic swords that killed him."
"How did he die?"
"That is a part of a must larger story."
"It's a long walked," Harry reasoned, Kagome smiled
"Alright, there are two half brothers, one full demon the other only half who hated each other, the brothers always fought the older brother always trying to kill the younger one for his sword the Tetsusaiga a sword so powerful it could kill 100 demon in one swing, given to him by their father, while the older brother got the Tenseiga a sword with the power to heal 100 humans, as it turned out the young brother got into a fight with a powerful demon who bit the Tetsusaiga in half, even still he managed to kill the demon, after the older brother heard of what happened he took a fang of the dead demon and took it too Kaijinbo who made a amazingly powerful evil sword from the fang, the sword was so strong it's dark aura destroyed him." Kagome remembered, she loved telling of her adventures in the feudal era, Kagome and Harry stopped at the edge of the Hogwarts grounds a demonic barrier surrounded the school, Kagome could see that the frigid tempter was far colder inside the barrier then out a normal person couldn't handle it for very long…
End Chapter
I know I will most likely lose readers because of the fact Kagome's father is a dragon but a few weeks back I was reading up on the Japanese dragon and how the Dragon has human descendants and I thought it was the coolest thing I knew right there I wanted to write about it but I didn't want to write a whole new book so in put the idea into this book, with Kagome father as the king of dragons, in fact Sui-Riu is the rain dragon and is the king of all dragons though I don't know his colour.
