Inuyasha is not mine...yet!
Chp 8
The Savior Mioshika(my character!)
Kagome looked out the door. She waited for Inuyasha to come with her new set of arrows. Her old ones were...well old and she desperately needed to get new ones. She finally saw him turn the corner with her new arrows. Her eyes brightened when she saw the new bow also accommodating. She jumped into Inuyasha's arms and kissed his cheek through her veil.
"You got me a bow!"
"well ya, what use are new arrows with a crappy old bow?"
"Hey that bow served me well."
"Ya ya ya. Now whats my payment for delivery?"
"What do you take?"
"Hmmmmm, well I would take a nice ear rub."
Kagome laughed and gently rubbed his velvet ears between her fingers. He sighed in pleasure as she blew gently on it, a feeling so good...mmmmmm. Suddenly, Kagome heard something crash. The Hojo guy was there. He was kneeling before a girl. She was a warrior seemingly. Her long brown hair reached past her waist and flared out at the ends. Her long bangs framed her face, and her indigo eyes flashed across the room.
"I said it once boy, and I'll say it again. Where is Prince Inuyasha!"
"I know not of his where-abouts!"
"Taste cold steel you worthless servant."
She raised the blade and laughed. She was ready to cry, she found it so humorous.
"You servants always believe people? I'm sorry for scaring you, but come on you have to admit it was pretty funny. You were all 'ahhhh!' and I was all 'AGGHGGGGHHHRRRR' it was great."
The girl laughed and flipped her hair.
"Seriously I need to talk to the Prince. Its of great importance."
"More important that scaring an innocent slave?"
The girl spun around, and turned to find Inuyasha ans Kagome.
"Very ingenious Prince Inuyasha, and..."
"Kagome..."
"Prince Inuyasha and Kagome. How nice. I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself, my name is Mistress Mioshika. Just Mioshika please thought, titles are stupid."
"What the hell do you want?"
"O0o0O lovely manners Princey. I am here to tell you of the great war that is about to rage here in your own kingdom. That horrible creature Naraku has been after me for a long time. I am here to aid you in any ways possible."
Miroku happened to be listening in on the conversation, and entered the room in a quick and swift fashioned. He quickly grasped Mioshika's hand and bended on one knee.
"Will you bear my child."
"...Are you suffering from some kinda serious rejection or are you just plain perverted?"
Kagome and Inuyasha said in unison..."Perverted."
"ah."
Mioshika turned to Inuyasha and faced him. She stuck out her hand.
"Please Prince Inuyasha, I can prove myself worthy if you give me the change. Please allow me to fight along side your kingdom against Naraku. I would be honored to fight with such honorable people."
Mioshika bowed gracefully and flourished, her posture flexible and muscular. She was small, a concentration of compacted energy. Yet she could easily leap tall mountains. Inuyasha studied her for a minute.
"You are welcomed Mioshika."
"Really!"
"Ya ya ya. Look I want to see you "skills". So Meet me at the training grounds tonight an 2 hours before dinner is served."
"Sure thing."
"Hojo, show Mioshika to her rooms. Make sure she is comfortable."
Hojo scrambled up from the floor and led Mioshika to her quarters. She laughed joyfully at his actions and waved kindly to Kagome.
"And who are you?"
"I told you mistress, My name is Kagome."
"And how are you acquainted with Inuyasha?"
"I'm his..."
"She's my Fiancee'."
"Oh congratulations! I didn't know you did that sort of thing Inuyasha. I thought you told everyone you would never marry?"
"Well I changed my mind."
Kagome shot Inuyasha a look of anger. She squeezed his hands very hard, making sure to place the fingers so it brought the ultimate pain.
"Ok well good bye. That you for your hospitality."
"Ya ya OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW."
Mioshika knew threw sistuation from the beginning. She laughed merrily and seemed to fill the whole room with joy. She walked off with Hojo while Kagome walked off with Inuyasha.
"Geez, what was that for!"
"You told her I was your Fiancee' for crying out loud. I thought this was going to be a secret!"
"Why would I keep it a secret. You wear the veil now, why not wear it when you are my wife."
Kagome had another look of painic on her face. Inuyasha recongized that look. It was the same one when she let her secret slip. The same terror he didn't want to see again.
"What did you do Kagome."
"Um...Nothing...nothing at all."
"Don't play dumb with me!"
"I didn't do anything! Don't accuse me of doing anything, cause I didn't do anything wrong."
"I didn't ask if you were doing anything wrong, I asked if you were doing something."
"Well, I am innocent until proven guilty, and I'm not gonna stand here and have you accuse me of doing something wrong."
"Kagome, you were gone one morning. You weren't there when I woke up. You always were before. You didn't go to the bathhouses that day either. You didn't have the smell for it. Now I'm smelling wolf on you, and I smell dirt. Your up to something Kagome, don't treat me like a fool."
Kagome frowned, he had her there. How could she come up with an excuse for her scents. Grrrr, why didn't I remember his sense of smell...
"I can't tell you where I've been. Or what I've been doing, I'm sworn not to tell you. I promise you though that its not bad, it only brings good."
"Kagome, you told me no more secrets. I trusted you to tell me things, I keep finding more and more secrets. I just want you to be open with me. Secrets tear people apart, you have to understand that."
"Sometimes...secrets protect people. Sometimes you have to kepe a secret cause in the long run, it helps to protect certain people. If you want to find out my secret, you have to figure it out yourself, because I can't tell you."
Kagome turned and walked away, her heart filled to the brim with guilt. Inuyasha lowered his head in remorse. He knew he hurt her, he knew she wasn't doing anything wrong. Now he pried too hard, and he hurt her. He shook his head and he turned to walk away.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mioshika watched as Kagome and Inuyasha split up and parted. She ran to catch up to Kagome.
"I thought this was going to be arranged by the time I got here."
"Well it wasn't...I didn't know you were coming so soon. Did you bring it?"
"Yes my lady, its here."
Mioshika took out a silver orb. It glowed brightly and then opened to reveal a ring.
"It contains the power. Your powers..."
Kagome looked at the ring with a look of unsureness. The ring was simple, just a silver band. But Kagome knew it meant much more. It was Kikyo's hidden power, her stash of miko energy. Kagome knew that Kikyo sealed half her power in case she was ever taken. Which proved to be a good thing, like all the other preparations Kikyo made for Kagome. Kagome knew her powers would increase, and it was a good thing in the long run. But would she change?
"Kagome, you must know that Kikyo only intended for you to be strong. She wanted you to fight for her people. She wanted you to kill Naraku."
"I know, but I don't want to change."
"You won't, no one could change you."
Kagome smiled and looked at the ring. She took a piece of string from her sleeve and made a necklace.
"I wont use this unless I have to. Because even though it's here to make me stronger, I think I want to be strong by myself."
"I think your very wise Kagome."
Mioshika turned to walk away, but Kagome stopped her.
"Mioshika come with me. I want to go practice together, like old times."
"Sure."
Kagome smiled at her friend. Mioshika smiled back. They walked to the practice grounds together, remembering the good times.
flash back
"Kagome, come on shoot it!"
Kagome let go of the arrow she was holding, it few across the air to the target. She missed the target completely and it hit the door of the little hut. Kagome's "mom" came out and shook her head at them.
"Kagome if you ever want to be more than just a servant you have to have better aim."
"I'm sorry mom..."
Kagome lowered her head, and her mom rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"Don't forget your gonna be someone."
Kagome's mom shut the door. Kagome went back to practicing. Mioshika laughed at Kagome.
"Your so stupid Kagome! You looked through the wrong eye."
"Hey I'm so sorry! It wasn't like I could concentrate! With your annoying whining,'shoot it Kagome, shoot it!'."
"Its not my fault you couldn't shot and arrow the save your pathetic life."
"Hey I'm gonna be someone!"
"Dream on. Dream on, you know why we live with Mom...Because no one wanted to have to see your stupid face all the time."
Mioshika laughed and fell onto the ground. Her long bangs blocking her vision. She got up and brushed herself off. Kagome laughed and soon the whole village was roaring with laughter. Mioshika ran and went into the forest. Kagome followed, taking their bow and arrows with her.
"Come on Kagome. I see the rose bush."
The rose bush was their code name for the princess. Princess Kikyo was their friend, she was born on the same day as Kagome. They looked almost identical too. It was amazing they weren't related! Kikyo smiled and ran to her friends.
"Hey Kagome! Hey Mioshika! Where were you guys! I thought I was gonna have to play by myself!"
Kikyo smiled and handed her friends the bags she had behind her back. Inside there was a ring for each of them.
"Look its just a silver band. But Mama got the jewlers to put a little piece of us into it. So we'll always be with each other!"
"Wow thanks Kikyo!"
"Really wow!"
Kikyo smiled and the three friends admired their new treasures. Kagome smiled with a funny look, like she knew a secret.
"Hey Mioshika, look at your bow."
Mioshika looked at the weapon and gasped. Kagome put sticky honey all over it!
"Kag! How could you! This is my only one!"
"It washes off, but you'll be stuck to it if you know what I mean."
Mioshika realized the bow was attracting all the grass and dirt in the area. Her bow was filthy.
"Kagome! Come on...why'd ya do that."
"Payment for when you put pepper in my hair."
"Kikyo, will you help me clean this off in the river?"
"Sure thing, you come too Kag! Your the reason our practice will be delayed anyway!"
Kagome followed her friends to the river. All the while they bagged on Kagome for delaying them. But Kagome just laughed, it was worth it.
end flashback
Mioshika shot the arrow at the target and pierced the middle. The arrow glowed with miko power. Kagome shot next, hers also giving off a miko aura. They both got the target and they both smiled.
"Know what Kags..."
"What?"
"Its not the same without Kikyo..."
"I know."
"I remember when we still didn't know you two were sisters. You guys were such good friends. But after you both found out, Kikyo had to go away. Then you were trained to be a princess. Then I found out I was a descendant of Midoriko," She made her voice deep and pronounced,"That I was to finish what she started out to do, and protect those who cannot protect themselves."
"You left out the part about when you found out you had an entire army at you command."
"Hey, that wasn't funny. Its not my fault I wet myself."
Kagome burst out laughing and Mioshika joined in.
"So was Inuyasha lieing when he called you his fiancee?"
"No, he wasn't."
"I'm really happy for you Kags...I know you loved him before Kikyo."
"He didn't know it was me. He thought it was Kikyo, everytime he saw me I wanted to let him know...Its not Kikyo, My name is Kagome and I love you!"
"Must have been hard, knowing he couldn't be yours unless your sister died."
"Yea...it was really hard. Because it seemed like I had no options. Now...I regret ever thinking sorely of her."
"Sometimes we don't realize how much we truly care about someone until its too late. Sometimes, we regret the things we say and do. But thats why we have to work at it to become better."
"I know."
"Your gonna be an amazing Empress, Kagome."
"Your gonna lead my armies and fight with me right?"
"I live for it everyday."
Kagome smiled. Mioshika smiled too. The obstacles ahead could not sever their friendship. No one, nothing, and defiantly not some stupid Naraku.
Inuyasha waited for Kagome to come back from the practice grounds. His ear twitched with annoyance. He closed his eyes to keep concentration. He didn't want to lose his focus. He couldn't take a change to lose it. He had to meditate, so he didn't lose himself again. So he didn't turn into that thing again. He didn't want it. It was the part of him he didn't want. He only wanted to protect Kagome. He didn't need to kill her along the way. He had to kill the shadow guy, and Naraku. Plus he had to find out Kagome's secret.
"Damn it!"
Inuyasha slammed his fist into the ground. He left an indention in the marble floor. His hand bled from a cut from the marble. He looked at it, watching it drip down off his hand.
"Why so many problems. What ever happened to taking a break from everything."
Inuyasha looked out the window and saw the sun set. He sighed, remembering his own flaw.
"Not again."
Inuyasha felt his powers disperse. His hair flew up as he closed his eyes. When he opened them, they were a beautiful violet. His silver hair was midnight black. He was human...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o0o whats gonna happen! Well you'll have to wait and find out. Just to recap, Mioshika is Kagome's childhood friend and was destined to help her to defeat Naraku. Inuyasha is pissed off at his demon blood, then gets pissed at his human blood. So ya...Next chapter will be better I swear I know the last few chapters haven't been very eventful, but I write as I go. I could use some input on my readers!
