Okay I finally updated - wow a looong time. Have a gooden reading this e-e
Ch 5 I'm whoHie carried the girl and placed her on the steps of the temple, he had no idea what to do. What luck as Yukina came up the steps to find the poor girl bleeding as she hollered for Genkai to help her. She was placed in a guest bedroom, the one next to Yukina's.
"Get some bandages and healing ointment Yukina..." Genkai's raspsy voice said from her position on the floor next to the bleeding girl. She took up a cloth and dabbed her side, she whimpered wanting to roll over and get away from the pain. These look like youkia scratches on the poor dear. Thoughts interrupted by the young ice apparition giving her the things for treatment they never noticed Hiei sitting in a tree by the window taking a look inside now and then to see the girl got the right treatment. A few hours later Kagome was well underway to recovery as she mumbled incoherent things, her dreams were filled with terror.
Kagome's Dream
She felt something wrap around her middle as Shippou came into view a few feet in front of her. Reaching down to touch what felt like tendrils of some sort keeping her in place. She saw Kirara, Sango , and Miroku as well as the fighting scene came to her eyes.
"No Mama!!!!!!" Shippou yelled as Sango protected him, keeping her body over him as Inu Yasha prepared to slice her head off, unfortunately Miroku couldn't use his Kazanaa because of Nuraku's poison bee's. She watched as they all dead one by one. First was Sango who was huddled around Shippou, her Hiraikostu missed its target and Kiara already lost to the world. Inu yasha's Sankon Tetsusou hit her square in the heart from her back, as Shippou yelled and ran for cover. Miroku tried to cover him with one of his ofuda but Inu Yasha took his sword and slashed through him. Shippou squeaked trying to run more as he found the well in the clearing, his enemy took on a look of anger. He cut his arm and then yelled "Hijin Ketsusou!" his blood claws dug into the tiny body as it slumped over on the wells lip.
End Kagome's Dream
Kagome let out an ear-piercing scream as she sprung to life in the bed like a jack in the box. Gasping for air she could hear her own heart beat widely, left hand clutching her chest and perspetrating. How could Kikyou of gotten to my world...unless Inu Yasha sided with Naraku and he gave Kikyou ... maybe his incarnations pieces of the shard he has... her eyes widened at that fact.
"Now they can come through...I'm the one...with the other half..." she whispered still gasping for air, it felt like some one had stabbed her in the heart and kept plunging it in, twisting and then pulling out. How could you Inu Yasha her eyes watered as small hands went up to her face to cover her eyes. I have to stop this...I can't cry anymore for the one who doesn't love me...her eyes got a glassy like look in them as if reminiscing or remembering something from the past. Suddenly she remembered as pain shot up her back.
"So he did hurt me..." reaching back to where it hurt the most, her hand glowed a bright pink illuminating the room and catching the attention of the sleeping Hiei in his tree that was next to her room unfortunately for him.
Yukina was walking down the hall sweeping and saw the light as well. She hurried down the hall expecting to se some thing horrible but saw that the girl they rescued was getting out of bed.
"You should be resting, that's a very bad wound..." she said going over and pushing the girl gently back onto the bed.
"I'm fine..." Kagome got up again, seeing she wasn't in her regular cloths she sighed. Greta I left my bag and now I have to go get it. Before she could get a foot out her room a goofy looking guy came in and took the ice apparitions hands in his.
"Yukina my love! I have returned for you!" this guy was heart eyed, with curly orange Elvis style hair, black beady eyes, and a crushed up face. The girl laughed at this as Kagome tried to side step them and got away before the resonating sound of a slap was heard, walking down the hall she stopped to by pass a library. But what made her stop was the one book out all those in there the one titled Legends About The Shikon Jewel.
Her interest now on the book instead of her pack at the moment forgotten she took a step inside the library. Once at the place in front of the book she reached out a hand, her fingers brushed the binding as it pulsed, she gasped.
"Just like Goshinkobou..." she had also noted that another followed her throughout her stay here. "No..." she took her hand away from the book, "I need to find my pack" her hand went to rest on the bottle around her neck Inu Yasha forgot to get away from her. She semi smiled walking out of the library to have her wrist be caught by some one, her eyes travled up the arm, over small muscles and to a face with crimson eyes. Glaring at him she tried to yank her arm back but he held onto it firmly.
"Please let go" she asked looking into his red colored eyes, tears prickling there way into her own. As one fell down her face he wiped it away with his finger.
"Why was the hanoyu attacking you?" he said in a gruff commanding voice expecting her to answer he let go of her wrist as she fell back onto the ground. Her pink lips moved without any sound coming out, but then she spoke.
"He wants...what he can't have..." getting up from the floor of the temple she was making her way to the exit as another guy passed her, looking over. Oceanic blue orbs burned into amethyst brown with a un seen fire that raged within her very soul.
"In any event..." she said stopping at the door "I thank you for your help..." she dropped the bloodied bandages on the spot and ran down the temple steps. I'll never be free unless Inu Yasha is stopped and I avenge my friend's death, I don't really care who or what I am. Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice she knew.
Do you care who or what you are? Or is revenge what keeps you going on like this? She tripped on a lose stone on the steps and tumbled down the few remaining ones.
"Midoriko..." the one word made her look up into the endless sky, the clouds swooping over large tree's, making even bigger shadows then the tree's themselves. "What is it you need to tell me?" her breath again grew ragged, hand slowing going to clasp the Shikon Jewel shards around her neck.
You are the Jewels Keeper but you are not Kikoyu's reincarnation. Your mine..."W-what?!" she started shaking, as a hand came to rest on her shoulder, it was the same guy who had captured her wrist in the hall.
Sweet child you're my reincarnation and so much more. I held a secret with me as I was chosen to be the guardian of the Jewel, so you are a forbidden child as was I. Her eyes went wide as realization struck her in the gut.
"I'm forbidden?" the words rolled off her tongue as the guy behind her tensed up. "Midoriko why am I forbidden?"
"Ningen..." the voice behind her held so much venom as she again spoke in Kagome's head.
Your father was a fire apparition and your mother an ice apportion. Much like the young man that stands behind you now. I leave you with knowing what you are and a gift from myself will be with the weapons of your friends once you get there. The voice faded as the words Forbidden echoed off the trees, the person behind her heard it as well. She stumbled to find the words but remembered tonight was her 16th birthday and that means she would turn into her true form, how she knew it was beyond her.
"Let go...please..." she said as the person turned her around and again she was assaulted with the crimson red eyes.
"Ningen you will tell me why you ran and what non-scents you speak of!" he shook her non-to gently as her eyes glassed over.
"I'm the guardian of the-the Shikon Jewel..." He helped her stand and glared as if she were nothing but trash. "I have to leave" her throat tightened up as she was once again let go of and ran into the forest.
"Hn...weak ningen can't even protect that damned Jewel..." he snorted finding a place to sit in that was shaded from the sun. Why do I feel obligated to even ask her anything? Its not like I have feelings for that wench! The pit of his gut said other wise, as the decision was made to follow her into the forest. How he hated when he made one choice then turned around making a second one, he usually went with the first impulse. Now he thinks about it like a common ningen, pushing that thought to the side of his mind so he can mull over it later on, he speed towards the girl.
Kagome walked on through the forest noticing she forgot to put shoes on, her now scratched up feet didn't matter at the moment. She wanted her friend's weapons and Shippou's cerulean hair bow; she stumbled a few times getting some rips and tares in the nice fabric she wore. I'll pay with money once I can get my pack. Her mind whirled all the while remembering the good times they had, she giggled at that thought.
Flash Back
The summer day was nice as the sun warmed her already hot body from so much walking. They had gotten another lead on a Shikon Jewel in a neighboring village and headed that way. Kagome and the others looked tired as well, so she jogged up to were Inu Yasha lead the group, with a nice smile on her face she stopped him.
"What" he glared at her through molten gold pools, as long strands of silver/white hair spilled over his shoulder.
"Can we stop to make camp?" smiling even bigger she hoped he would say yes.
"No we can't we need to keep going." After he spoke he noticed the other grumbling. Then his ears were flat on his head as Kagome smiled sickly sweet at him.
"Oh Inu yahsa...SIT BOY!" she yelled an eye twitching as she took her large pack off and started to pull out Ramen and some sleeping bags. Twitching in the small indent in the ground Inu Yasha peeled himself from the dirt and was about to yell at her when he smelled Ramen cooking, she giggled at his look of bewilderment and pushed the cup into his hands. He scarfed the whole cup of flavored noodles as the others got their meal as well. Once all were done the only thing left was to clean up and Kagome went to go wash dishes by the river, as she came back a loud smack, thump, thud, and howl of pain came from the direction of camp. She entered it seeing Miroku had again groped Sango, he now sported four fist sized lumps on his head.
"Didn't just hit him did you Sango." She giggled as Sango held up Hiraikostu with a wink and laugh.
End Flashback
Walking past the tree Inu Yasha pinned her too she looked around the clearing for her bag, and found it by Hiraikostu, Shakujou, and the cerulean hair ribbon. She reached for the hair ribbon first as Hiei had gotten there.
"He killed my pup..." tears started running down her cheeks, as some splashed onto the ribbon. Once done with her morning for her friend she put the ribbon in her own hair, picked up the other weapons but was surprised to find a new one laying at her feet. She knew Hiei was there and called out to him.
"You can stop hiding now I know your there" her hand grazed the hilt of the rusty sword, one would think it was another Tetseiga, but it was just a bit longer in length and the blade itself was rusty. If Inu Yasha sword protected people, then what does this protect?
The words were carried on the wind for her ears alone.
It protects friends and loved ones...Sobajin..."Sobajin...that's the swords name..." taking the sword firmly in both hands she swung it, and then jabbed twice.
Hiei didn't know what to think of the frail looking ningen who had gotten a rusted beat up sword. What a piece of crap he chuckled.
Now if I remember correctly when I was in trouble his sword would transform into the fang, but I don't have any but my family that I love... her mind was going in a bit of a circle as who but Naraku himself would show up to say his greetings.
"Kagome...so nice to see you again. Ah you brought the rest of the jewel with you..." he smiled under the light blue skull, and white wrap of a monkey, he extended his hand to take the jewel, halfway there another hand stopped him. Hiei had come off his perch to watch the girl die, but each time he saw some one trying to hurt her, something inside him cracked like it was his duty to protect. It was one thing to deny the feeling for another but why would he pass up a good fight that promised bloodshed? Cracking the wrist of this Nuraku person he smirked.
"Ah I see you have another to protect you...my Kagome..." he began to back off when she went running at him with a huge sword, swinging it at his head and killing the bastard. She huffed an angry expression on her face, she spat on the wooden doll that fell out of his body and broke it.
"I belong to no one...Do you hear me Nuraku! I don't belong to you!" Nuraku looked on at the scene the girl made, through a small circular mirror held in the hands of a small albino child named Kana. He waved his hand dismissing the child from his room and fell to thinking another plan to rile the girl up.
Kagome looked on in aw at the sword she held in her hands now, Sobajin rivaled Tetseiga by far. It might have been a little bigger but the blade wasn't as thick, it was made to fit her though. The tip of the blade was sharp, the steal magnificent as it glinted in the first suns rays of morning, taking it on another test run she swung it at a tree as Hiei snickered thinking she missed it, he turned around to walk away when the tree crashed to the ground. The hilt was made with fine black leather, she wanted to examine it more but it reverted back to its rusty bladed self.
"Midoriko you forgot the sheath!" her voice echoed off the trees in the surrounding area, Hiei thought he was dealing with an idiot as a sheath appeared before her in pink energy. She smiled and bowed to the sheath saying a prayer; she blinked in surprise at the weightlessness of the sword and strapped it to her side. Something else caught her eye, some prayed beads glinting in the sun, along with a whole bunch of Ofuda near her pack.
"Women stop dialing and pick those things up! We need to get back to Genkai's temple!" he grunted picking up the heavy pack and she scooped up the weapons, prayer beads and Ofuda.
"You mean the temple I was at was Genkai's after all?" she stared at the small guy in bewilderment. Her mind whirled with more unanswered questions as they came upon the looming temple, there at the top was an old women with light curly pink hair that comes with age, and old hard eyes looking past her to a boy that ran around the temple.
"200 more laps slacker!" she yelled to a tall guy, in a yellow muscle shirt and blue jeans, his hair was greased back and he had amethyst brown eyes. That's the other guy I saw in the hall never noticing were she was going she bumped into the guy that had her pack. The other guy running stopped, to by his friend.
"Hey Hiei you never told me you had a girl friend!" he pointed laughing like an idiot, and I don't know who got there first but I took the Shakujou in my hand and ran after him, my glare promising death. Though Hiei got there first and slammed the guy into the temple steps.
"Ysuske...if I ask for an opinion I'll let you know..." Hiei grunted, pushing his friend back down when he got up.
"oh my..." She walked back to her things on the ground and picked them up, Ysuske gaped at the chick because she had a huge boomerang on her back, a few weapons in her hands and what looked like a small cat coming out of the woods.
"Mew..." said a voice from behind her, Kagome stood stalk still, slowly putting her things to the ground and turning around to see Kirara hurt very badly.
"Kirara!" she rushed over to the almost dead walking neko. "Oh Inu Yasha did this to you didn't he?" she asked scooping the bloodied neko in her arms. Hiei watched from afar as always, but got on his guard incase the neko was foreign. The girl gasped as she took out a Jewel Shard.
"I can see how you got here Kirara...the only way was through the..." she was about to say well when the neko went unconscious and she took her to the temple. "First my friend then my weapons..." she said to Genkai, the old women nodded. A lot of bandages and some hours later Kagome washed her hands of Kirara's blood. Inu Yasha I will kill you. Bastard! She shook all over walking back to the neko's side as it opened its eyes.
"Mew..." it said climbing into her lap and places the two tails over its face, she buried her face in the bandaged fur. Then taking out the jewel shard that was in one of the neko's cuts.
"I see you're the guardian of the jewel am I correct?" the old women named Genkai came in as the girl nodded and purified the shard; putting it in the glass bottle around her neck.
"Now that you know your history I am to train you" Genkai got up as Kagome picked the neko up with her cradling it in her arms. Ysuske was still running his laps but got an extra 200 for stopping before. Hiei watched the girl from his tree, seeing she took in hand the weapons and Ofudas.
The battlefield were Ysuske fought Rando were Kagome was to learn her first lessons. Boy this will be interesting she thought taking all the weapons off and setting Kirara off to the side on the soft lush marshy grass.
Will Kagome ever stop getting into trouble? Is Hiei debating his feelings for Kagome? Were did Kuabara go! Genkai teaches Kagome about spirit energy and the same training Ysuske had for those few months she will go through. Will she survive the hell of training or will the one who betrayed her break her spirit! R&R!
