Truth Beyond the Battlegrounds

(Part 1-The War Begins/Chapter 2: The Battlegrounds

With a long, blue bow in hand and a quiver of arrows over her shoulder a young girl smiled slightly as she exited the Battle Ready Area. She had come to the battle grounds for the same reason every other human did. To fight demons... in a friendly way, it was like a miniature war. But you couldn't kill anyone or side with the opposite species. It was a very fun place to go to, you could easily make friends there... human or demon. The Battle Ready Area was a small house that you would go to, to put on armor or have your weapons set before you entered to the battle grounds. Now she and her fateful, mini dragon companion Fang were standing at the exit of the battle ready area and the entrance to the battle grounds.

After scanning the area for demons that did not have an opponent, she spotted a young demon with silver hair, dog ears, and golden eyes... he appeared to be only a few years older than herself. She grinned and slightly flushed as the image of a cute golden-eyed brunette entered her mind. What was with her and golden eyed demons, she pondered to herself? Shrugging it off, she drew an arrow and aimed at the unsuspecting hanyou. Quickly she poured a certain amount of spiritual enery into the tip... it was enough to hurt him and give him a minor wound, but not enough to purify him. Quickly she let go of the string and let it fly. She watched as ear twitched and he quickly jumped out of the way.

He snarled at her and yelled," what the hell was that for wench?" She flinched mentally, not expecting him to be so... touchy? She was quite taken back... this place was made to fight and have fun! So if he wasn't prepared to battle then why'd he come? She glared at him and retorted," whaddya think? We're suppose to be fighting!" He snorted," for your information I'm on the human's side..." His tone was gruff and harsh... yet she felt a pang of guilt has a hint of sadness was hidden in his voice. He was a hanyou, half demon & half human. So why'd she automatically assume he's side with the demons? Not knowing what to say, she turned heels and took off.

After awhile she was out of breath and decide to take a break. She sat on the large roots of a tree that stuck out from the soil. She watched as people battle fiercely then she turned her gaze to a duo dueling on a hill. A beautiful girl with raven hair in a high-ponytail and dark chocolate eyes wielding an extremely large boomerang, and a raven haired hanyou with crimson eyes that burned with hatred and blood-lust. She gasped... the girl wasn't fighting for fun... she was fighting for her life. The hanyou wanted to kill the woman. His arms transformed into a spiky tentacle and it threw itself at the girl's heart.

But she dodged, and escaped with a severe, deep wound to her right shoulder. Fang nudged his owner, who nodded in response. The small, white & black dragon who was the size of a cat glowed a brilliant, green color. When the glowing stopped he was the size of a sky-scraper. Fang scooped up the girl as she drew an arrow and poured ALOT of spiritual energy into it... not that she noticed. She let go if the string a glowing-blue arrow hit the unsuspecting hanyou directly. He exploded into millions of pieces. Her eyes widened... she KILLED him!

Everything and everyone froze for a moment. Then all eyes were on her, Fang, the girl, and chunky hanyou remains. What had she done? She gulped as people crowded around them, asking a million questions. She wanted to cry as she saw men dressed in black armor, riding on black horses approached them. They had the crest on the IPP (International Peace Police) embedded in their helmets. Fang gently placed the now unconscious girl on the ground, then returned to his smaller form and landed peacefully on her shoulder.

" Excuse me miss... but you have to come with us. And your name would be-?"

" Kagome. Kagome Higurashi."
