You are ignorant
Blinded
You cannot yet see what their true form is
But we will help you
For you are us
And we are you
And when you are unseeing
Our senses are dulled too
So we will give you a gift
New eyes to see the world from
And then…
Perhaps…
You will understand…
What you truly…
Are
I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I .
Kagome woke up just as the bell rang, the voices that normally hounded her while she was awake had now invaded her dreams. Blinking the blur from her eyes she remained seated till everyone left the room then with a sleepy yawn she jumped out of room, via window, and into a tree.
She had an appointment to keep.
New eyes to see the world
And the vision…
To see the monsters
I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I .
They were all waiting by the front gate, even Nakaura was there thank to Shiba, who was in his class for the last part of the day.
"My, my, my you all came. I'd never expected you to bring Mana into his, my being a possible threat and all. Oh and Nakaura Sensei is one of you to, I never would have guessed."
They spun and found Kagome lounging onto of the school wall.
"Hm, interesting…"
I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I .
She could see flashes besides them, just out of the corner of her eyes, besides Mana who only was followed by a strange aura
The black haired boy morphed into a fierce, tall demon with leathery black wings, blank eyes, and sharp horns.
Nakaura Sensei hardly change save for looking much more formal and formidable, he has holding something that resembled a cross on a chain in his hand.
The eldest boy changed into a monk, or something of the sort, he wore interesting Chinese-ish clothing and had tattoos on the backs of his hands.
The kawaii blond boy's change was dramatic, he had longer hair, a weird outfit, and two pair of wings, one of which sprouted from his head.
The other girl, the one that looked like 'Itsuki-kun' took the appearance of a more modern version of the real fortunetellers she remembered from back in the Sengoku Jidai, the ones that could see all the sins of the world and looked about with haunted eyes.
'Itsuki-kun' hadn't changed much either his outfit changed but she couldn't get a good look at it. A wind swirled rapidly around him, lose panels of clothing around precariously, but they never once got in his way. And his eyes were gleaming with its gold brilliance, golden eyes that reminded her of her past mistakes and her shattered being.
"Hm, interesting…"
Kagome didn't realize that she had spoken out loud till she ended up on the receiving end of several weird looks. Mentally sighing at the horrible impression it must have made, she decided to begin again.
"I know something's going on. Won't one of you be so kind as to inform me of what it is?" Kagome asked mockingly.
The group was silent, Nakaura Sensei gave her a critically examining look that teachers were so good at while everyone else huddled to discuss the subject. Kagome yawned as she watched the people below her discuss whether or not they would tell her what the hack was going on, she soon found that she had no patience for such idioticy when she would come by the information whether or not they liked it and so she told them.
"I don't have all day. If you won't tell me I learn what I must elsewhere."
That was all it took.
Itsuki was chosen to be the 'spokes person' of the group, seeing as he knew more about the war and her than any of his companions.
"A wars has been raging for thousands of years, a secret war that no normal people know about, we call this damn time the Aquarian Age. There are five 'sides' called factions and the mind breakers, like Mana, that can win them to their side. My sister, Haruna and mine's faction is E.G.O., the Evolutionary Girls Organization, a group of humans with supernatural abilities.
"Another faction is the Darklore, who seemed to have inherited their powers from the ancient demons, Kaname here is a Darklore," Itsuki paused to gesture towards the black haired boy.
Itsuki next pointed to the adorable blonde boy, "Tsukasa is an Eraser, they're extremely powerful with their ability to erase enemies in an instant."
The eldest, red headed boy was next, "Isshin Sempai is Arayashiki, they inherited the magic of the orient.
"And finally, Nakaura Sensei is Wiz-Dom, which is the western association of spiritual leaders."
"So what faction am I?" Kagome asked.
They all looked to Shiba for an answer since he the most experienced at reading auras. Shiba frowned thoughtfully as he gazed at her in concentration.
"I cannot tell, it's like you're aura is mixed."
I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I .
He could hear them from atop his perch and smirked at the Arayashiki's answer.
"You don't know how right you are."
And so he focused on the swirling colors. The nearly emerald, but slightly blue tinted swirl of the Darklore that gleamed like a gem in the light. The fantastic pure light that shined like a thousand stars from the Eraser. The strict navy blue that shimmer with the power of a foreign god from the Wiz-Dom. The light, warm blue from the god of Japan radiated from the Arayashiki. The metallic silver of technology swirling with an undercurrent of the E.G.O. boy's own wind and his sister's with a blackish taint in its stead. And finally the strange mixed sensation of the girl that was the key.
"You just don't know how right you are."

. : Author's Note : .
This chapter is a little weird isn't it? I blame it on the fact I'm totally exhausted from walking my dad's dogs. They dragged my brother and me everywhere. It was sort of fun though.
I feel like time is passing by so fast one day it's Saturday and then, suddenly it's Friday. And for some strange reason it makes me think of death, and this makes me cry at random times hours after getting rid of the thoughts. So I think I'm going somewhat insane, but I'll know for sure when I start hearing voices like Kagome does…
I really hope that doesn't happen.
'Cause those voices are really freaky.
Ciao
: . Review Responses . :
Kitty Mew 2005 – I don't know if it's up there but Labyrinthine Reflection Poison wrote two, there Amou/Kagome. Yes write a JO/IY crossover, tell me and I'll read it… It's a really good idea to write the story down first then you can fix it up and close the plot holes before posting, I have no patience to do that at all.
regretfully-yours-Cassy-chan – I'd think girls chasing down another girl they thought was a guy was funny to, especially with Kag's 'hot body' comment.
LKLTB – I know those fan girls are evil, Mana doesn't even have any powers to fight them with. Although she's got a mini army of bishis to do her bidding…
chinadoll27 – Good for you, I don't know if I've got the stuff to try this patience thing out though.
Julie – I really like to but heart breaking moments in my stories, I really don't think a story is complete without one, though I prefer having happy endings.
