NOTE:KAGOME IS KIYOSHI! REMEMBER THAT!
Chapter 7:Sou'unga
Kiyoshi, Hiei, and Kurama ran out of the castle and took off to find Naraku. They ran for three days strait, until Kagome's legs were burning.
"Can… we…-pant- stop…-pant- for…. a… minute-pant, pant, pant-?" Kiyoshi asked as she turned into her demon form. Kurama expected Hiei to say something, but, surprisingly, he only picked her up and continued running. Kiyoshi blushed.
"Thanks, Hiei." She said once she caught her breath, clinging on to him for dear life. Hiei was about to say something when they came to a halt, surrounded by about 100 A-class youkai. The three youkai prepared for battle. Hiei drew his sword, Kurama his rose whip, and Kiyoshi her shadow sword.
A few minutes later, they were back running. They came across a house, and Kiyoshi sensed Naraku inside. The three of them walked in cautiously. Kiyoshi spotted Naraku, Kagura and Kanna. Hiei and Kurama ran over and killed them.
"I wantssss the jewel shardsss." Naraku hissed.
"Naraku!" Kiyoshi shifted into her demon form and lashed out at him.
"Kiyoshi! Use your shadow sword!" Kurama shouted. Kiyoshi nodded. She jumped up and severed Naraku's arm. He growled and readied one of his tentacles. She screamed as it narrowly missed her heart. She collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Kurama ran towards her as Hiei walked forward, growling softly.
"You hurt her, you pathetic half breed. You hurt her, and now you will PAY!" Naraku's eyes widened as Hiei's bandages fell to the floor in flames.
"Dragon…"
Naraku's eyes widened even more.
"Of the…"
He started to back away.
"Darkness…"
He stumbled, barely keeping himself from running.
"FLAME!"
He panicked and tried to run, but soon became a pile of ash. Hiei walked over to Kagome and collapsed. Kurama sighed. It looked like he had to carry both of them. He picked them up and dragged them out the door.
Dream Sequence:
Kiyoshi looked around, taking in her surroundings.
"You are Kiyoshi, am I correct?" Kiyoshi spun around to come face to face with InuTaisho.
"You're dead!" She exclaimed, looking on in shock. InuTaisho smiled.
"I am. This is but a dream. I am here to give you this sword. I'm sure you remember Sou'unga?" He held the sword out to her.
"But doesn't Sou'unga have an evil spirit within it that can bring any human to kill?" she asked.
"I will train you in the way to properly use the Sou'unga so that it doesn't control you. Also you are the only one who can wield it. If you were just a miko it would still be able to control you. However, as you are a demonmiko, you can resist its lure." he replied.
"Alright. Let's get started then." Kiyoshi was surprised to learn that no matter how long she slept it would be like a normal night. InuTaisho taught her swordsmanship, and to zap the sword with her miko powers every time it disobeyed her. A few months later, InuTaisho came up to her.
"Kiyoshi, I believe that you have completed your training. In about five minutes you will wake up. Go into the center of the forest and Sou'unga will be there for you. When you first touch it put all of your energy into it, If it's enough, the sword will accept you and obey you."
End Dream Sequence.
Kiyoshi woke up, panting. She ran past a startled Kurama and headed out to the forest.
"Hiei, follow her and make sure she doesn't get hurt." Kurama ordered, worried about his little sister.
'If she gets hurt, I will kill him, Kiyoshi, what are you doing?'
"Hn." Hiei ran off.
'If she's hurt in any way, the fox will kill me. Kurama is violent when it comes to his sister's safety. I don't want to die by the hands of a kitsune in a human body. Kiyoshi, don't die, for both of our sakes.'
Kiyoshi walked on for many hours, thinking about the nice soft bed she had left behind.
'Why did I agree to do this?' She asked herself. A few minutes later she came across a clearing. In the center was a sword pulsing with a slight red light.
"There it is. The Sou'unga. Well, I might as well just get it over with." She shook her head.
"Great, now I'm speaking to myself." She walked towards the sword. Coming to a stop before it, she picked it up and slid it out of its sheath. Concentrating her energy, she thrust it all into the sword. She screamed as a blue glow surrounded her, when it died down, she was standing there in her demon form, the stone on the hilt of the sword no longer pink or red, but a dark blue. She sheathed the sword and collapsed from exhaustion, not even noticing when a figure wearing black dashed out and caught her.
Kiyoshi woke up to realize that she was still in the forest, and that Hiei was lying next to her, his arm wrapped possessively around her waist. She shifted, sitting up, and causing Hiei to stir.
"Kiyoshi, you're awake?" He asked, sounding mildly surprised. "When did you wake up?"
"I've only been awake for about one minute." She replied.
"You had me worried. I thought you were going to die." Kiyoshi smiled and pressed a soft kiss to his lips. Hiei's eyes widened. Kiyoshi blushed and looked away, suddenly finding the trees very interesting.
"Kiyoshi…" he whispered. He crushed his lips against hers. Kiyoshi's arms found themselves around his neck, as his found their way around her waist.
"Kiyoshi! Hiei! Where are you!" Hiei broke away reluctantly at the sound of Kurama's voice and jumped into a tree, leaving Kiyoshi standing under the tree, mock glaring at him.
"Kiyoshi, there you are! Where's Hiei?" Kurama asked, running up to her. Kiyoshi pointed up. Kurama smiled.
"I see. Why don't you come down here, Hiei?" Hiei appeared next to Kiyoshi and put his arm around her waist. Hiei glared at Kurama.
"What do you want, fox?" Kurama smiled and noticed the sword by Kiyoshi's waist.
"What's that?" he asked, indicating the sword.
"This is my sword, Sou'unga. It's the reason I came out here." She replied.
"The legendary sword of destruction?" Kurama asked.
"Hai. Let's get back to the castle before someone realizes we're missing."
When they got back to the castle, Hiei led Kiyoshi to an empty room.
"What're we here for?" She asked.
"We have unfinished business." He replied as his lips descended upon hers. After a minute she broke the kiss.
"Hiei, what do you think of me? Are you serious or are you just playing with me? I don't like it when people play with my feelings, and…." Hiei silenced her with a kiss.
"I can assure you that I am completely serious about my love for you. Unlike the fox, I don't play around." Kagome smiled.
"I'm glad, and I am serious as well." Hiei smiled, a smile reserved only for her.
"We had better get back before Kurama comes looking for us." They headed towards the hall, but were stopped as they saw a horrible sight. A girl with red hair and a boy with red hair hung from twin ropes attached to the ceiling. They were dead. In fancy letters, writing appeared on the wall in red.
"It's blood." Hiei muttered.
"His friends die one by one. Eventually he has nobody left. Where all else has failed this will succeed. Where all others have died I will live. Be warned, your foolish attempts to save are futile. I am God, I am Satan."
"Well, that's encouraging."
"Yeah."
