Hey guys! If you all would review this would happen way faster. But that's your choice, not mine. Any way on with the story.
Flash back:
She took one last look at the demon and jumped.
Kagome looked up one last time to notice that the fox had a ceratin glow to it. If her eyes weren't tricking her, there was also a set of small wings and a halo.
Her heart was pounding so hard that she thought it was going to burst right out of her chest. The sound of the falls finally hit her ears once she jumped over the edge. She could feel the water in the thick air as it condensed onto her skin. Faster and faster she dropped, but she wasn't scared. No. More like, thrilled. Why do I feel this way? This could kill me, but I feel good. I feel great!
Kagome hit the water a few moments later. She plunged deep under, until everything got dark, but she floated right back up instantly. She gasped for a breath once she reached the top. No pain. Not even normal pain. She glanced over her shoulder at her wing. It was healed.
Healing water! The fox had to have been an angel. I've heard of these places in a story once. Only angels can open the entrance to the still forest with the healing waters. Kagome looked around. This was not the same forest she had fallen from.
The water fall was no longer there, the pond was completely still. The forest around her seemed to be a glow from the full moon's light. The ground was soft moss, no dirt of pine needles. Kagome could almost feel the life from the trees. Everything was silent and still. Kagome looked at the shore.
A unicorn was getting a drink from the waters.
Everything was silent and still in the bright forest. The unicorn hadn't even seemed to notice Kagome yet. The mossy light green ground was covered in dew, that most likely stayed there all threw the day. The full moon's brightness was almost as blinding as the sun itself. Even the still pound seemed to have a faint tint of purple.
Kagome's wings twitched instinctively under water, making little ripples flow over to the shore. They reached the unicorn and she stopped drinking. It flared its nostrils, obviously trying to smell her. Kagome could see its sides heave a big breath. It snorted and shook its mane and then looked up at her.
The unicorn was bright, pure white. It had black hoofs, but white mane and tail. It was huge, bigger than a normal horse. It had sparkling purple eyes and even a small glow came off from it. The unicorn didn't seem real.
Everything was quiet for a moment. "I haven't seen one of you in a while. Though, you look in experienced, you don't even have a gown. You must be an apprentice." Kagome gasped. The unicorn was talking, but the voice came from inside her mind. "P-pardon?" stuttered Kagome. A low rumbling came from deep insides the unicorn's throat, which kagome realized was a laugh.
"How young you are! How old are you child, only 50?" Kagome swallowed the lump in her throat. "I'm -uh- almost 16," she said. The unicorn reared up and snorted. It landed with a stomp. "Sixteen! You look much older. You must be at least 50, no?" Kagome shook her head. The unicorn rumbled again. "I see now you're a human, correct?" Kagome was at a lost for words. The horse stomped its foot. "Show some respect and answer me. And get to the shore before you drown." Kagome nodded and dove into the water, popping back up near the shore.
The unicorn grabbed the back of her shirt in its teeth and lifted her out of the water. It gently placed her on the mossy ground next to her. "Thanks," said Kagome. "Well?" "I was human, but now I don't know what I am," she sighed. "And now I've lost my bag and screwed everything up! I've ruined it all1" she wailed. The large horse's ears pressed back. "Silence! What a horrible sound. You look fine now."
Kagome sat up and looked up at the unicorn. It couldn't be less than 10 feet high. She felt so inferior to it. Kagome looked around. There was lots of sound moss, the pond, moon light, the air was cool and the trees were tall. Purple flowers shook in the breeze. "Am I in heaven?" Kagome asked. It snorted. "No, this is Serenity. It's very close though." "What's the difference?" "Heaven is for humans."
Kagome drew back. "Then you're dead?" she whispered. The horse nodded.
Mura screamed. "How could a wench like her get into Serenity?" She stomped around the cloud. "Only sprits of pure animals and true angels can open the gates to Serenity!" A puff of cloud appeared by her. "A visitor," she growled. "Fine, come. I'm fine." A fox faded in. "You!" she snapped. It flicked its tail in annoyance. "Look at what you've done!"
"You are a fool," it said cooly and then faded out.
"So where have you come from little one?" "Just in the forest. . . . .that I thought I was still in." The horse flicked its tail. "You look upset. Who have you left behind?" Kagome looked up at the white horse. "How did you know?" "I know these things. What is your name young one?" "I'm Kagome." "And I am Hoshiko, but you may call me Hoshi." She tossed her mane with a playful snort.
Kagome giggled. Just then the wind changed direction. "The wind has changed course. Someone is coming," said Hoshi. An image faded in onto of the still pond. "The fox!" Kagome exclaimed. It trotted over the water without even the slightest ripple or disturbance. It bowed its head in greeting, which Hoshi and Kagome did also.
Kagome realized, when she looked harder that the fox was larger than a normal fox. It was as big as a large dog. Its wings were a little smaller than Kagome herself. Its halo was in proportion to its head and hovered lightly above.
"Thank you for helping me earlier," she said. The fox nodded. "I am known as Keiji," he said in a deeper voice. "I haven't seen you in a while, Keiji," said Hoshiko. Keiji dipped his head respectfully. "A lot has been happening." He turned to Kagome. "It is time for you to be leaving." Kagome looked over at Hoshi. "It was nice meeting you. May I ask one thing before I go?" "You may." "I need one of your hairs," she said softly. Hoshi nodded with out question and pulled out a hair from her mane with her teeth. She walked over and dropped it into Kagome's hands.
Kagome wrapped her arms around Hoshi's neck. "I'll miss you," she said into her mane. Hoshi placed her head against her back for a moment and then Kagome released her embrace. "We will see each other again sometime," she promised. "Of course!" smiled Kagome.
Before she could do anything else, she and Keiji began to fade away. Hoshi tossed her mane in fare well, but then was gone in an instant.
Kagome winced from the brightness of the sun light. Birds were chirping happily and the forest was busy in action. Before Kagome could speak, Keiji spoke up. "You have a long way a head of you." "I know," she replied. "But I haven't got my bag anymore-" she began. He silence her with a flick of his tail. "This journey is not for one person alone," he said. "Then you're coming with me!" she smiled. "No," he said cooly, "but you know who will." A moment later his image faded away.
Kagome flapped her wings. "Who?" she echoed. At least I can fly now. She hovered a little off the ground and sighed. "What now?"
"Kagome!" a voice yelled. A second later Inuyasha jumped over next to her. "I found your, um, bag thing," he said and tossed it over to her. She smiled brightly for a moment before launching herself into his arms. "Inuyasha!" she exclaimed. He nearly fell over from the force of her impact, and the shock of it all. "K-kagome?" he stuttered.
"I missed you," she smiled and held onto him tighter.
