So sorry….I is a lazy loser. I'll get it on through summer though. My muse hates the school time.
: Mystery of the Heavens:
I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever.
: heaven
Sesshomaru faltered at the sight in front of his eyes. Lady Ran was struggling to hold Kagome back from pounding her head against the wall. Sesshomaru rushed to Kagome and cradled her body to his own, stopping the damage. She was burning and Sesshomaru had to resist the urge to take his hand back. She was so hot; Sesshomaru could feel his flesh burning where her flesh was touching. What the hell was that dress material made of?
"What has happened to her?" Sesshomaru demanded.
"I'm not sure. I can't recognize what is happening. I've bandaged her wound, but I don't know what else to do. I have no idea what this is. I've never seen anything like this." Lady Ran was pacing in frustration and confusion. How could this happen? Kagome was always so nice to the people in the castle. She often brought the workers outside water and snacks. Ran had to admit though, she was one of the many who had misjudged her and thought wrongly of her, that she was cursed, that she was evil. She felt horrible and she wanted more than anything to save the child, more than anything she wished…
Sesshomaru glanced at the neglected book he had forgotten when he had captured Kagome. "That book!" Sesshomaru called to Lady Ran, "that book holds the disease, or should I say poison." Lady Ran picked the book up and read a couple sentences. Horror etched upon her face she turned to him.
"I don't know how to cure this. Lord Yuki was one of the strongest immune system of the history of lords and ladies. He also had the best healers. If they couldn't cure it, how can I?" Lady Ran looked at him defeated.
"Show the book to the Lords, in the Library," Sesshomaru said "we will fight this, she will not die, she will not…" Sesshomaru looked down at the sweat and pain filled woman's face in his arms. His eyes held a tender gleam as Lady Ran mentally noticed.
"I shall also fetch a maid to bring in some cold water, the poor thing needs to get cooler. Take off the top layer of her dress. I'm pretty sure there is something underneath." Lady Ran said as she took the book and Sesshomaru nodded. He took off the top dress part and looked down. Kagome had only her black shorts and her wrapped top covering her from Sesshomaru. The maid entered and blushed at the scene. Sesshomaru glared at her. The maid scurried out. Sesshomaru began to tenderly wipe her forehead. He didn't notice the glowing eyes peering into the room. Peering from a distance and laughing mentally at his game.
Lady Ran hurried to the lords. She saw a maid rushing about. Tapping her slightly, she gave her instructions before searching for the library. Once found, she took a step in and crushed into Lord Nibori.
"Where is my child?" His voice boomed, echoed by Lord Inutaisho.
"Yes, where is mine as well?"
"She is with Lord Sesshomaru. He has found the disease, but we know not the cure. Look!" Lady Ran shoved the book into their hands as they peered down. Lord Nibori clenched the book in rage.
"I shall have the bastard's head! This is war, Naraku! You shall die by me!" Lord Nibori screamed. He began sprinting towards the room where his daughter was. Sesshomaru was wiping Kagome's brow as she began to shudder violently. Lord Inutaisho was a few seconds behind Nibori, soon after came Inuyasha and Lady Ran. Now it was the rest of Kagome's family missing.
"We know who did it and what it is, but what is the cure?" Lady Ran said aloud while walking over to Kagome to push the hair from her face. The poor dear…
"There is no cure." A new voiced from the shadows. "I don't think anyone can survive this poison." Kikyou said while walking solemnly to her younger sister. "But if there was ever a person, it would be her." Kikyou said as she grabbed Kagome's burning hand, fighting the stinging sensation. A tear fell on to the back of Kagome's hand as it soon turned to air and sizzled up.
Lord Nibori walked to his eldest daughter and hugged her while grabbing Kagome's other hand. He was proud of Kikyou. She was right, and she was terribly sad that Kagome was sick. Now his wife…
: A missing wife?
'Kagome, Kagome the angel we seek
Growing up sadly, wistful and meek
Holding a power few know such tale
Waiting to be freed in mighty whale'
Kagome bitterly opened her eyes to the voice. Wait…she had heard that tune before, that song…she knew it…Kagome widened her eyes around, what was it? Who was it? The voice? Like an angel…When she was little…when her mother refused to sing her asleep, they did. Their voice came for the skies; they pierced the black of night and fell on her like a night light. They sang her asleep till she was 9. Where had they gone? They were her only friend in the lonely days as a child. Why had they abandoned her when she needed them?
'We didn't leave you.' The voice answered her. 'We were here all along' the manly voice answered. Where are you now? Who are you? Why is it dark? Where is your light? Why am I here? Why are you there? What is that song? How do you know me? Kagome was so confused. She couldn't remember what was happening. She could feel pain though. It was so dark. The voices were silent now. Kagome was fading somewhere
:Somewhere
Sesshomaru laid Kagome on the bed. She was still sweating. Her brow furrowed in thought and trouble. He kept a hand near her heart, making sure she was well and still living. Her heart began to speed up, as if she was exercising, just like her breaths. Suddenly they stopped. Sesshomaru looked at her. He listened: nothing.
"No heartbeat!" he screamed. He and Kagome became crowed as they relatively shouted the same thing: come back Kagome. Sesshomaru gazed at her worriedly. What if she did die? What if he lost her? He saw here chest move again and was flooded with relief when she began to breathe and live once more. What would he do is she didn't live? What would he do? He hopped he would never have the misfortune of learning the truth in that situation. He hugged Kagome to his chest.
: To my chest, lay thine head, rest and sleep, here is your bed.
Kagome found herself in a garden: a maze of flowers. Now where was she? She wondered. One corridor held a veil. It was floating. Another corner held her mother. For some reason, Kagome ran anyway. Another corridor was dark. But she heard sobbing. She walked in.
"Hello?" Kagome whispered. The sobs grew as she got closer. In a small light there held a woman. She had a sullen aura and she was cradling a child. She wore a veil. Kagome turned to see the woman, but when she turned, the woman disappeared and the baby fell into Kagome's arms. The baby was calm, but its own aura was a mess of emotions. A cloth from the cover was covering his face as Kagome picked it up to turn it. She pulled it away and peered at the child's face. There was none…only eyes. Kagome stood transfixed into them…'the truth' Kagome fell herself falling into a vortex as she finally landed in a sturdy ground. She looked up…she was home? The halls were empty. Kagome heard crying and screams and followed the sound once more.
She turned into a room: it was the room that she and her sister were born. It was also was where her father and his mother were born. She went to open the door, but her hand passed through. Kagome closed her eyes, but traveled through like a phantom. Inside she heard moans and screams. She opened her eyes. There was her mother…and the midwife that had delivered her. Kagome walked over to them. They couldn't see her. Kagome watched as she was delivered, except she came out legs first. When they pulled the rest of her body Kagome paled...it wasn't her. It was another child…dead… Kagome fought the scream of confusion in her voice…where was she? Kagome watched as her mother peered at the dead child before grasping its lifeless body and tossing it into the fire nearby.
"Damn you!" Lady Oko screamed in rage. Peering towards the midwife she stood uneasily before slapping the woman across the face. "You demon bitch! This is your fault! You did it!" Lady Oko continued to beat the crying woman when she heard a voice.
'A child miscarried shall be replaced.' A light shone down as a carriage floated down. Inside was a baby. 'This child is Kagome. She is the daughter of heaven. She is in your care and you shall protect her. You shall raise her as your own. Touch her not, lest we find you and send you to the 7th layer of hell. Kagome shall be the raising of your world. She shall rise to save you all.' The voice faded as Lady Oko walked to the child with a glare.
"You are not my child. Damn you! I shall see who shall raise and fall, Kagome" Lady Oko said as she raised her hand to strike the babe who slept in the basket quietly. Suddenly remembering her threat, Lady Oko lowered her hand only to turn it to the midwife nearby. Kagome watched as her "Mother" beat the woman to death. She soon began to fade away, reappearing in the same room as the rest of her family. She looked down as he sister held her hand. Kagome smiled. She felt her self raise as she looked down at her lifeless boy. Sesshomaru had begun to shake her. They were all screaming something.
'It is not your time yet, my child.' A womanly voice whispered in a feathery light voice. Kagome felt her self pushing her self back into her body. She then felt a great pain. It hurt so badly! 'You must overcome it!' the voice implored her. I can't...Kagome gritted. "The higher beings give trials to those who can overcome them." Kagome found herself listening to her master once more. "Kagome, one day you shall face death and face a great evil, will you be prepared, will you overcome it, and will you fight?" Yes…yes! I will! Kagome promised herself as she fought the poison. She gathered it in one spot, in her right hand. She gathered it and pushed it all there. In a great yell she rose up and shot all of the poison into a power source and through the roof of the castle. She pushed it out, expelling the evil, unnatural source from her body and into the sky. She fell back on the bed and looked up. The faces she loved…
"Kagome…" her father whispered as his eyes watered.
"I'm tired…I want to sleep…but I promise I will wake." Kagome breathed out. Lord Nibori nodded as the rest of group left, except Sesshomaru, who made him self, comfortable next to Kagome on the bed. He was exhausted, too.
