Winter was the coldest season that she had ever had the chance to witness. As much as she loved to kill, she loved winter. It got rid of the old and killed everything, yet at the same time it made way for something better. Kagome silently watched the spirit detectives knowing that they couldn't see her. It was more like she was following around one spirit detective. He still carried her feather with him even though it had been two days. His human appearance hindered his beauty in her opinion. He turned to talk to the human with Kitsune soul.
"She just vanished?" Kuronue questioned.
"Kikyo has simply vanished off of all the realms," Kurama confirmed.
Kagome smirked at the small talk. Hiten knew how to hide things, because he constantly hid himself. Kagome watched as they walked back to the decent apartment with Shippo. He was currently bouncing around Hiei who looked ready to dice the child in half. Kagome frowned at this and figure he needed to be taught another lesson.
'What should I use this time?' Kagome pondered as his crimson eyes narrowed.
"I am now Shippo's guardian," Kuronue sighed.
"My condolences," Hiei calmly replied as Kurama grinned.
Kuronue sighed and flopped down on the couch. He winced as his wings cramped. His illusion fell and he was left with his youkai features.
"He isn't that bad," Kurama commented.
"Kits are horrible," Hiei simply said.
He opened the door and went to take off. The door slammed shut and Hiei slammed into it. Kurama and Kuronue stared at Hiei in shock. He was still slammed into the door not moving. Both didn't move because they were too shocked. Hiei stepped away from the door. His crimson eyes narrowed as he searched for that damn Fallen angel. He threw open the door and stomped off in anger.
"Hiei is clumsy," Shippo said before he skipped to his room.
"Does she pick on all the detectives?" Kuronue questioned.
"Unfortunately," Kurama sighed.
"What has she done to you?" Kuronue questioned.
"Nothing…yet," Kurama sighed as Kuronue closed his eyes. The bat just wanted to fall asleep on the couch.
"She doesn't…seem…that bad," Kuronue mumbled between yawns.
"She's a demon, she is that bad," Kurama calmly reminded.
"I'm a demon," Kuronue reminded.
"It's different," Kurama simply said.
"Why?" Kuronue questioned as he started to drift in sleep.
"She is evil," Kurama answered as he stood up and headed to his room.
Kuronue sighed and began to drift into sleep. He didn't understand that Fallen angel and he found that he wished he knew more. Kuronue yawned as he continued to lazily think. His mind formed fuzzy thoughts on the angel.
'I wish she would stay around more often,' Kuronue thought.
The pearl colored feather erupted into flame and turned to ash. Kuronue didn't notice the feather on his table vanished. He also wasn't aware of the Fallen angel silently cursing him now.
Kagome cursed as she softly heard the wish in his mind. The feather had granted his wish in the weirdest way possible. She knew he didn't understand the consequences of a feather, but the damage was done. Kagome floated above him and gazed at his features. Her features turned angry as she glared at him. He may be a youkai, but he was still mortal compared to her.
'He is like all mortals…selfish, vain, and idiotic,' Kagome reassured herself.
He turned to his side and she tilted her head. She scoffed and she traveled to Shippo's room, the child was still pure. He was not yet corrupted by the world despite the violence he witnessed. Kagome scoffed at her own thoughts, she would only end up corrupting him since she was evil. She floated beside Shippo and gazed at his sleeping form. Light didn't bother her; it was another thing she didn't need. It was like eating and sleeping, it was a leisure.
'I wonder what dreams are like,' Kagome thought with a wistful look.
Kagome sighed and floated to the window. She looked up to the sky with a sense of longing. It was a known fact that she would never see heaven again. They would never see or experience anything close to heaven. She put her hand against the window and didn't feel the coldness of the winter chill that caressed the glass. Her hand pressed against the glass and yet she was not solid. She could be invisible and still touch the solid; it was something she didn't understand. Kagome closed her eyes and rested her head against the window.
"What must I do?" Kagome softly questioned.
"You wish to enter heaven do you not?" Naraku questioned as his crimson eyes watched her.
"I do…I want to see my friends again," Kagome desperately said.
"Then you must enter through the gate," Naraku stated with a grin.
"I thought the entrance was forbidden," Kagome carefully said.
"Once you enter you will understand your place," Naraku carefully worded.
"Do you promise…will I see them in heaven again?" Kagome questioned with tearful eyes.
Naraku remained silent as he brought his hand to his chin. A smirk crossed his features and he thought about this. Kagome feared that he would tell her she was a fool. The fear dug into her being as she waited for his answer. His words were the only thing that gave her hope.
"I promise…you will see them in heaven again," Naraku assured with a grin.
Kagome nodded as the fear left her being. She stood in front of the gate and traced the black doors with her eyes. A mortal would never see this because it was the entrance to another realm. It didn't exist, just like the gates of heaven, it couldn't be seen by mortals. The doors slowly creaked open and she closed her eyes. Heaven had purifying fires, but this was different. She opened her eyes and stared into the entrance.
Kagome's eyes snapped open as she jumped away from the window. That was the first time she had ever remembered the entrance. She knew about it and knew her experiences, but she had never watched them like a memory. Kagome ruffled her feathers and noticed that a couple fell from her wings. They turned to flames and then to ash. She frowned at this and noticed that it was now daylight.
'I only closed my eyes for a second,' Kagome thought.
She remained invisible to the mortal eye, but she chose to walk. Kagome passed through the door and entered the kitchen. Her eyes narrowed when she spotted another Fallen sitting at the table. Kagome recognized the angel as one of Naraku's devotees. Most of the Fallen listened to Naraku, but didn't give a rat's ass about his orders. The feared him, but didn't trust him. You then had the type of Fallen that listened to his every word like a mother teaching her children. Kagome used to be one of those, but now she was the type that was on her side and her side alone. She still listened to him, but she rebelled because he could do nothing about it.
"Kanna, what are you here for?" Kagome questioned.
The fallen turned her blackened eyes to Kagome. Kagome shivered at the empty gaze, the angel chose a female child form to represent her. The Fallen was once a beautiful angel, but Naraku had tossed her into the entrance. She had been found at the gates to entrance in this form. Ever since that day, she had stayed by Naraku's side without question. Her long white hair was held back by to white flowers, and her white robes appeared smooth. Her feet were bare like most of the others.
"Naraku wishes to know how you've been," Kanna softly said.
"The bastard knows, he was the one who released Goshinki upon me," Kagome snapped at the little calm angel.
"Goshinki was your punishment," Kanna replied.
"What does Naraku want now?" Kagome quickly asked as she glared at Kanna.
"Two Infernals have been created, he wants you to throw them into the entrance," Kanna replied.
"I am not the one to baby-sit the Infernals," Kagome coldly reminded.
"They are eating human flesh," Kanna responded.
"This is not my concern," Kagome responded.
"Naraku orders you to find the two and bind them to the entrance," Kanna simply said.
"So he's using rank?" Kagome questioned with a bitter laugh.
"It is an order," Kanna assured.
"Tell him I said no!" Kagome shouted.
"You will be punished," Kanna softly said.
Kagome's wings tensed and a feather fell to the floor. Kanna watched the feather touch the floor and explode into flames. Her emotionless black eyes stared up at Kagome.
"I now understand," Kanna whispered as she vanished from the room.
Kagome bit her lower lip and growled. Her fists clenched and unclenched before she screamed and smack the coffee maker off the counter it. The glass shattered and she glared at it. She ran and jumped through the window. Kagome flew through the city passed the buildings. The need to destroy raged through her as she continued to fly. Naraku was being a bitch and she would find a way to hurt him. Her eyes landed on a figure walking through the park. Her blue eyes narrowed as she noticed his features.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called to him.
He didn't respond and her temper grew. She dove to the earth and landed in front of him. He walked through her and she now realized that this was not Inuyasha. She floated around him and studied him for a bit. He had not been on any of her lists and she wondered why. His long silver hair floated around him as the wind swept by him. Cold amber eyes stared ahead ignoring anything behind him. He appeared to be an odd looking human.
"He's a youkai," Kagura's voice assured.
Kagome turned from the interesting youkai to face Kagura. Her crimson eyes were trained on the youkai. Kagome took to the air and floated beside her. Kagura sighed and then looked at Kagome from the corner of her eye.
"Are you here to deliver Naraku's message again?" Kagome calmly questioned.
"No, I am just following around this youkai," Kagura responded.
"You've never taken interest in these beings, what's special about him." Kagome inquired.
"He is a youkai, the only child, and reminds me of someone I once knew," Kagura responded.
"Oh, you speak of the human from the past," Kagome mumbled.
"Yes, the one that Naraku killed," Kagura stoically said.
"Naraku keeps you on a leash, I wouldn't get involved in his life…unless you want him dead," Kagome advised.
"I will be free of Naraku," Kagura firmly said.
"We will be free once we are destroyed," Kagome whispered.
"Is that why you kill?" Kagura questioned as he raised an eyebrow. "Do you kill the humans so you will have company in your death?"
Kagome softly chuckled and replied, "I kill them because I pity and hate them."
"And I watch him because he reminds me of what I lost," Kagura whispered.
"I will never become attached to one of those things, they are nothing but a speck of dust upon our perfection," Kagome coldly said.
"You will have more pain inflicted upon you because you will inflict the pain upon yourself. You will one day care so much that it will kill you," Kagura simply said.
"Did you see that in my heart?" Kagome questioned.
"No," Kagura snipped, "I see it in your eyes."
"We don't really have these forms, they are just illusions to comfort us…so maybe all we feel is just an illusion," Kagome reasoned.
"So much pain cannot be an illusion," Kagura whispered as she flew off after the youkai.
"What's his name?" Kagome questioned.
"Sesshoumaru," Kagura responded as she vanished after the youkai.
'Strange,' Kagome thought.
Screams reached her ears and she turned her attention the park. Kagome took off in the direction of the park. Her eyes widened and she stopped herself from wanting to wretch. The sight that met her eyes was the worse thing she had ever witnessed in reality. Fire raged through the park and she could smell the rotting flesh. She landed on the ground and reached out to the fire. It was normal fire; it wasn't the purifying fire or the fire of the entrance. Kagome covered her nose as the stench of rotting flesh became stronger.
'What's going on?' Kagome wondered.
She took another step and made it so she could feel what she stepped on. Something soft smashed under her foot and she grimaced. She didn't want to look down and see what she had stepped on. Her blue gaze traveled to the ground and her face contorted in horror. Kagome covered her mouth and stumbled backwards as her visions blurred with unshed tears. It was a child, at least part of a child. Kagome knew that the small arm could not belong to an adult.
Kagome quickly searched the park and found that adults were running around screaming random names. She normally didn't care for humans, but this was horrible. Kagome floated above the flames and noticed that there was a figure hunched over another child's corpse. Her eyes narrowed and her hands glowed. She knew her weapon wouldn't come to her, but she couldn't help but try to summon it. The figure turned its head to her and she growled. It's lavender hair cover part of the corpse and its green eyes met hers. She could see the sickly wings of the Fallen angel.
