I don't own Inuyasha
"Sayuri, you are just a child, you should not see this. Maybe you should go now." Midoriko whispered walking through her abandoned village nonchalantly swinging her sword back and forth.
"No! I would never leave your side!" readying her naginata for battle.
"I wont either." Inutaishou cooly responded drawing Sounga from it's sheath.
"Fine." holding back her smile and tears. This was it the final battle where she was going to die a warrior's death. The village was filled with abandoned huts, dead grass and the lingering stench of death. The group walked in silence, enjoying their last moments together.
"I smell it, they're close." the inuyoukai told his female comrades.
"Must be thousands..." Sayuri whispered frightened, she was strong but one taiyoukai is no match for one thousand mindless youkai. But she would never show that fear, her "parents" were here.
"Ready?" the miko asked as if it were an option. One second later a weak snake demon dived from the air ready to eat her heart but was slashed in half. More came in droves ready to kill the priestess and the three youkai she traveled with. Everyone split up and fought them off.
"Kami, how could you fight so many?" Kagome asked the nekoyoukai next to her who was still watching her younger self bring down her enemies with swift strikes.
"When I look back on it... I don't know." her face impassive still watching her past self. It was astonishing that so many youkai and monsters could be brought down by only three youkai and a miko. "Let's fast froward. Seven days of bloodshed and gore is not necessary to be seen." snapping her clawed finger to another part of the battlefield.
"They wont stop coming!" dodging an attack from a monster then sidestepping to stab it in the skull.
"Sayuri! Just hold on!" Inutaishou reassured the teen killing everything in his path to Sayuri. "Are you alright?"
"Fine...just fine. Where's Midoriko?" her breathing ragged and labored. "I cant pinpoint her scent." Both scanned the battlefield for her but to no avail. They only saw Kirara running toward something...
"Where do you think she is going?" she asked staring at the youkai cat running at full speed.
"Follow her." cutting through hoards of youkai, Sayuri did the same; leaving a trail of dead bodies behind.
Here she was the strongest human in the world bleeding from the mouth and missing her left arm clutching what was left with the right.
"Midoriko!" In unison, if Kirara could talk she would of said it too, but she could only roar.
"Leave...I can handle this...go now..." in a whisper only a demon could hear coughing up blood.
"No I'm not gonna leave you!" the young girl screamed with a tear stained face, running to her "mother" only to be blown away by a force field.
"I said leave... I have to do this on my own... I -I love you all..." making a mad dash into a nearby cave. Something strange happened. The few youkai left merged into one following her inside.
"I wont let you kill her!" ready to follow the miko inside but was stopped by a clawed hand.
"If you go you'll be purified!" Inutaishou hissed warning her, Kirara in her pet form on his shoulder.
"But we cant leave her!" more tears running down her face, clinging to his armor.
"..." wrapping his strong arms around her, there was nothing else he could do.
BOOM!
"What?" turning her head to face the cave a bright light came and everything went white for a second. When it faded, birds chirped in the trees from the forest nearby. "We should go look inside." They all agreed.
Inside their she was coiled in the merged youkai's body jaws inches away from her body a hole in her chest. Trapped in stalagmite, both of them.
"Oh my gods...!" staring at the sight before her. That's what the others did, just stare.
"Look."
"What, Inutaishou?" never taking her eyes off the stalagmite.
"This jewel." picking up the Shikon Jewel holding it in his palm.
"It came from her... didn't it?" turning to face him.
"Yes..."
"What are we going to do with it?"
"Leave it here... what else can we do?" setting the jewel on the floor, then leaving the cave with the two nekos. A small weak rat demon grabbed the jewel, and so begins the travels of the Shikon no Tama.
"So Kagome, do you see how the Shikon jewel was born?"
"Yes." touching it from her necklace.
"Well, I'm hungry. What do you want to eat?" scratching her left ear.
(Well I'm done. Drop a line, tell me what you think. Give me some advice! It will be very appreciated!)
