Chapter 6: Dark omen
Kagome was surrounded by demons on all sides. They were more like distorted creatures, with burnt crisped skin and blood-shot eyes. She was separated from the other but knew they were in the same dilemma . Again she heard Mizuki cry out for her; the demons who took her had already knocked Shippo unconscious and broken through the protective barrier. Gathering her reiki, she sent an arrow flying through the hoard, finally clearing a path up the ridged mountain side. From her position she could clearly see an outline of another demon holding Mizuki. He looked worse than the other creatures. He was deformed and his bones showed through his skin. His eyes more red, and filled with unimaginable malice.
"You and your friends fight in vain miko. This was for-told to be since the beginning of time. This young pup shall return to me the powers I once had. Then this world shall be under the rule of Katsurou!" Suddenly a dark light surrounded the figure and the inu-pup.
"Mizuki!" Kagome cried out rushing forward. However before she could reach them, the ground opened up and she fell deep within the abyss. Mizuki's cries for help still echoing in her head.
Kagome woke up with a start and when into a state of panic when she felt a demon presence near her, and a hand grabbed her shoulder.
"Kagome-san! It's alright it is only me" Hayate said softly as he looked at the slightly pale girl before him.
"Hayate? Wha?" Then she suddenly remembered her dream. "Where's Mizuki and Shippo?"
"Tsume is watching them" Hayate noticed her relieved sigh and asked. "Kagome-san what ails you? I was passing by when I heard you scream"
"Sorry. It was a nightmare. But it felt too real to be one."
"Do you wish to speak about it?"
Kagome shook her head. "I might just be paranoid, that's all" She said, giving the tori a small smile of assurance. However, Hayate could see straight through that false look, but decided not to press any further. Maybe she will open up better with Tsume. The two were already much like friends.
"Well then, I shall leave you to get ready. Breakfast has not start yet."
"Thank you Hayate. Uh.. may I ask you something?"
"Anything"
"Is Se- I mean, Lord Sesshomaru is in his study?"
Hayate's eyes widen a little but blinked the surprise away. He did not think the little miko would seek his lord. "Sadly he had an emergency to take care of at the border of the territory."
"Oh. Then it's fine. I will speak to him when he comes back" Kagome said getting up from the bed.
"I shall let you know when he comes" the youkai guard bid her goodbye then left the room. When she was sure he was out of hearing range, Kagome slumped to the ground and let the tears that were held back to fall. Somehow that nightmare felt like a premonition. And if that was true she wanted to know if anyone by the name of Katsurou ever existed and what evil deeds they had committed. She was half-tempted to ask Hayate but felt it would be better to address Sesshomaru first, that way they could have some type of precaution. Taking slow breathes, she calmed herself and got ready for breakfast. She couldn't have people worrying about her now can she?
"Inuyasha, just how long do you plan to mope?" Sango said, getting more than irritated by the hanyou's non-stop grumbling.
"I am not moping! I just can't stand the fact that she chose to stay there!"
"Inuyasha, she did it to protect Mizuki."
"And why must it be her duty t take care of that pup?"
"Who knows" Miroku answered. "But think about it. Why did she have to release you from your imprisonment? Or take in Shippo? Or even be the one to befriend Sango when we first met? Why must it be her duty to be the protector of the Shikon?"
Inuyasha just walked further ahead, knowing the monk was trying to prove a point. "He's right. Why must Kagome do all this? I use to think it was because she was Kikyo's reincarnation. But what if it's for something else? Something out of our control?'
"Alright monk. Since you're so smart, what do we do from here?" Inuyasha asked, waiting for the two to catch up.
"We do what Kagome asked. Continue the journey and find Naraku."
Far away, near the Southern lands, a dark energy was forming. A witch, by the name of Meichiko, led three shadowed figures up a mountain trail.
"How much further witch?" Naraku hissed.
"Patience. We will get there soon." Meichiko replied, keeping her eyes on the trail.
"What is it that lies in this mountain anyway?" Kagura asked. She was tired of not knowing what that man was planning. Even Kanna refused to tell her what they were doing here.
"It is to resurrect an evil greater than my own." Naraku said. Kagura nearly shuddered at the thought of a being more vile than Naraku. She stayed quiet until the reached a cave on the side of the peak.
"Here he sleeps, to be awaken again." The witch chanted a few words and the cave lit up. She then proceeded inside until she came to a mound.
"So this is where the 'great evil' is buried. Not much of a grave is it?" Kagura remarked.
"You would do best to hold your tongue wench" a dark voice rang out through the cave.
"Ah. My master may be in a gave but he is far from dead. Think of this as his imprisonment." Meichiko said with a crackling voice.
"Master you say?" The voice questioned. "The only surviving follower I have is Meichiko"
"Yes. And it is I who speak to you. My dear master, I have brought to you Naraku. He wishes for a deal."
It was now Naraku who spoke to the imprisoned creature. "I have come to offer my services. I will free you of this imprisonment."
"And what is it you want in return?"
"A partnership. Work with me to rid myself of some pestering enemies. Then we could rein over this world."
"... If you can get me out then I shall help you. We will speak later. When the time is right I will send Meichiko to you"
Naraku grinned at this. "Very well. Come Kanna, Kagura. We leave." The three then exited the cave and descended down the mountain.
"You do not truly plan to work with him do you?" Kagura stated, seeing the deceitful gaze in Naraku's eyes.
"Of course not. If anyone will rule this world it will be me."
"A deceitful one he is." Meichiko said, watching as the demons left the mountain. "He plans to over-run you master."
"Fear not Meichiko. I already knew what he was planning. When I am released from this prison, I will let him aid me in regaining my true powers. In which then, I will surely kill him. Soon the mighty Katsurou will rise again and smite all that opposes me!"
ooh naraku's gonna get it lol. ^^ sorry for such a late update. hope you like this chapter.
