A Demon's True Nature

by Sk8er7

Chapter 7

Naraku

Kagome kept running until she reached the small hut in which she had first met Tojo. She smiled lightly and reached the door. Opening the door silently, she entered.

"Hello, Kagome." Tojo was sitting on the ground, looking as though he was -- sleeping? Kagome smiled and sat down with him.

"Tired?" she asked him, although she already knew the answer. His serious face nodded.

"So," began Kagome, looking at Tojo's now peaceful face, "what do we do now?" His eyes remained shut and he did nothing. He then spoke.

"I could take you to where I live," he told her. He opened his eyes. "That is, if you want to." He saw her grin and she nodded.

"That sounds great," she replied. Tojo stood up and Kagome noted that his feet were clawed like Inuyasha's. She looked at his face intently before asking, "What kind of demon are you?" His face kept the serious look before he answered.

"For my kind, there is no positive answer," he started. "Not all demons represent animals. I am that kind of demon. I am similar to a human, except for my demon blood and my slightly different appearance. My ancestry was human, caused by a curse to become a demon." He cut it off there, hoping that it would satisfy her; for now.

Standing up, he straightened his robe (a/n: i know i called it a shirt before, but he changed.) and flexed his claws. He rotated his head on his shoulders and kicked both of his feet up as a stretch. When he was done, he noticed Kagome giggling at him.

"What?" he asked innocently. She shook her head and stopped, though she was still smiling.

"So, I suppose that the Lord of the Eastern Lands doesn't live in a little hut," Kagome stated. Tojo nodded. "So, how far away do you live?"

"If we run, we can make it within ten minutes," he replied. "With your demonic speed, that is. Also..." Tojo's face took on a grim appearance, "I was hoping that you might be able to tell me something about a half demon." Kagome swallowed a lump in her throat, thinking about Inuyasha. "This halfling's name is -- Naraku." Kagome was immediately pulled out of her trance as she heard the name of the dispicable villain who had caused her and her friends so much grief.

"Yes," Kagome said coldly, "I know about him." Kagome sighed and sat back on the floor. "This will probably take a while, so we should just sit while I tell you." Tojo had a questioning look on his face, but said nothing. He joined her on the hard wooden ground.

"Have you heard of the Shikon no Tama?" asked Kagome. Tojo nodded. "Fifty years ago, the priestess who protected it died because she and her love, another half demon named Inuyasha were tricked by Naraku. The priestess, Kikyo, took the Shikon Jewel with her to hell and she sealed Inuyasha to an eternity on a Goshinboku tree. Fifty years later is where I come in.

"I was lost in the "Forest of Inuyasha" when I saw him against the tree. Before then I had never heard the tragic story. Later, I accidentally woke him up and he tried to kill me. I placed prayer beads around his neck to subdue him from hurting me.

"Actually where it starts, is when I broke the Sacred Jewel..."

For two hours, Kagome explained her story in great detailto Tojo, who listened very intently. At times it was painful and sad, but others were happy and exciting.

"So, if my understanding is correct, you are the reincarnation of Kikyo, the Guardian of the Shikon no Tama?" asked Tojo. Kagome nodded. "Naraku was born from a human named Onigumo. His lust for the maiden Kikyo drove him to turn himself into the demon we all know now as Naraku. And now he collects jewel shards to make himself a full demon." Kagome's head bobbed up and down.

"But what is most amazing of all, is that the Sacred Jewel came out of your body! And that is why you have extrordinary holy powers. I knew that when I trained you that you were special." Kagome grinned, a slight blush creeping onto her face. She stood up and straightened her red kimono.

"Well, now that we're done with that, I guess we can go now," she stated. Tojo stood up again and stretched. Kagome fought hard not to giggle once more. Kagome opened the door and went outside, inhaling the fresh unpolluted air.

"Come on!" she told him. "I'll race you!" With that, Kagome sped off. Tojo tore off after her, but he began to think.

'She loved that halfing, Inuyasha.'

YAY! another chappie down.
