Kyoko, Kagome's Twin Sister
Chapter 3
Last Time:
Kyo P.O.V.
Fluffy glares at me, then turns around and takes my dagger out of the tree that it was embedded in.
"This is heavy for a dagger, human. What is it made from?" He asks examining it.
"Diamond. Diamond blade but a rubber sheath. The blade is indestructible. Even for a demon such as yourself."
He glares at me, and then looks back at the blade and smirks. I frown.
'There's only one thing that would make him smirk like that…'
Now:
He begins reading aloud,
"To my precious Kyoko…" I feel the blood leave my face.
"…I hope this will help you on your path to self discovery…" I shudder to myself.
"…I want you to be happy, even if it's not with me…" my I find my voice,
"DAMATTE!!" I scream, but he continues as though I didn't say anything.
"…I love you with all of my being. Love, Tohru… aka Ru-Chan… baka humans and their baka emotions." He says, turning to leave.
My aura spikes with anger and I use my Wicca powers to slam him to the ground in rage. I drop my sword and run over to him.
"You're not going anywhere with that dagger!" I cry kneeling on his back.
"Why, cuz it was a gift from… Ru-Chan?" he says, with a slight sneer on his face.
I wrap my hand in a lock of his hair and pull like I'm trying to yank out his hair, causing him to hiss in pain. Then I say quietly,
"Don't you ever, ever, insult… my Ru-Chan…"
"And why not ningen? Is he your intended?" I tear up.
"I-iie… he was… but h-he… he died…" and I break down in tears, falling on my side as Fluffy got up. He looks at me, looks around, sniffing, and then picks me up, my torso in his arm and my legs wrapped up in his mokomoko-chan. I summon my sword and my board to my hands and cry myself to sleep, cuddled up in Fluffy's arm.
Sesshy P.O.V.
As I watch the human girl cry herself into sleep in my arms, I'm overcome with an emotion that I've only felt once. With… her. 'It can't be…' I took her back to Jaken, Rin and Ah Un. I arrive just as the sun sets. As soon as I enter the clearing where they are, Jaken runs up to me.
Author P.O.V.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Where have you been?!" he looks at Kyoko.
"And why on earth have you brought another human into our midst?!" Sesshomaru looks down at Jaken.
"This Sesshomaru has no reason to explain himself to the likes of you."
"No milord, of course not." Jaken says bowing.
"Where is Rin?"
"She is sleeping on Ah Un."
"I see. Let us go." Sesshomaru says flipping Kyoko around until she is on his back with his arm wrapped around her leg and his mokomoko-chan holding her up. Then they set off with one thought in Sesshomaru's mind.
'She looks so much like…"
Kag P.O.V.
I climb out of the well and come face to face with an angry hanyou.
"Eep!" I squeal and instinctively let go of the well, falling a few inches before Inuyasha grabs my wrist, and pulls me out with a mutter of,
"Clumsy wench."
"Shut up." I mutter back.
"Keh, come on, there's a shard rumor about a day away from here, I sent everyone else ahead once I was sure you were here." He said.
"Inu… Inuyasha…?" he looks at me with a kindness in his eyes.
"Yeah?"
"Why did you send them ahead? And… why are you being so nice to me?"
He smirks.
"Cant keep nothing from you can i? Actually, I wanted to talk to you, Gome."
"About what?" 'Gome?'
"About… you and me…?"
I gasp quietly.
"What about us?" I ask quietly.
"Well, um… I just… it's like… o fuck it… I love you, kagome." He says, looking down. "I've always loved you. Hell, I know that you're Kikyo's reincarnation…"
'There, he said it… that's why he loves me… I knew it…'
I look down. Inuyasha cups my chin and makes me look up.
"…but you're not kikyo, you're kagome… you're one of a kind… and it took me three years to figure it out…" he finishes kissing me.
He pulls away, slowly, and looks at me. He must've assumed that I didn't want it, or didn't enjoy it, because he quickly turns and starts walking away.
"Inuyasha!" I call running up to him. As he turns around, I kiss him sweetly, and then hug him with all of my strength.
"I love you, kagome." He says into my hair.
"I love you more, Inuyasha."
We then start heading west, towards the Shikon shard rumor.
After about three hours of walking, Inuyasha stops suddenly.
"What is it?"
"Shh." He says sniffing the air. Then he growls. I gasp.
"I sense a demonic presence… more then one." I say quietly.
He nods.
"I smell bird demons…" he says pushing me behind him. We stand there for a few moments before I turn quickly, sensing a demon, and throw myself to the side as I see a bird demon swooping down on us.
"Oswari!!" I yell out. Inuyasha slams into the ground, and the bird flies over him. He gets up quickly and mutters a quick,
"Arigato."
I get up too, and stand with my back against his, and notch an arrow to my bow. More bird demons come and soon we're surrounded.
"What do you want with us?!" I cry out.
"We want your jewel shards!" the obvious leader calls back to me. Inuyasha growls loudly and I sigh quietly, then mutter so that only Inuyasha can hear,
"Well, that's original ne?" I can hear the smirk in his voice.
"Hai, very original."
I giggle at the sarcasm and then call out,
"Well we're not giving them up!!" then we both call out our attacks.
"Kaze no Kizu!"
"Iku!"
My arrow kills about ten birds and Inuyasha's wind scar kills… um, I'm not even sure how many… a lot.
I quickly draw another arrow, notch it, and fire, all in just a few seconds. I'm firing arrow after arrow, killing a lot of the birds, focused, not paying attention to anything but the battle.
All of a sudden, I hear my name being called; I turn sharply, see a bird, then the black of unconsciousness.
Kyoko P.O.V.
I feel a warm presence close to me. Very close. I keep my heartbeat slow as if I'm sleeping, and open my eyes slowly. I'm on Fluffy's back.
"S-Sesshomaru?"
"Ah, so you're awake, ningen?" I scowl.
"This ningen has a name. It's kyoko, you can call me kyo."
"Kyo… isn't that a boy's name?"
"Technically, yes, but oh well, all the people in the future think I'm a guy anyways. I'm an assassin… and they think I'm a guy cause I'm at the top of the charts… stupid sexist bastards… damn them… and damn you too Fluffy!! I feel hella weak now cause of you! If we get attacked it's gonna be hard for me to defend myself… ugh! I hate feeling weak!!"
"Stop talking onna."
"Why should I?! Hey, why did you bring me with you anyway? Why didn't you leave me to die like I thought you would?"
"Do not question my actions."
"Ok, look here Lord Tsurara, you may be a lord in this era, but where I come from, you're just a normal person… or demon, and I'm going to treat you as such. Now, this concerns me, so I deserve…"
"I needed a mother figure for Rin. A strong ningen woman who can teach her things even I cannot. A warrior woman like yourself."
"Rin?"
"Hai a human girl who is my ward."
"Interesting…"
"Nani?"
"that an icy lord like yourself would have a human girl as a ward."
"Careful onna, any more insults, and you may not live to your next birthday."
"Try me when I'm better Ice-pick!"
"Keep it up wench and I just might."
"Then it looks like we'll be sparing in three days tops. So, where's Rin?"
As if on cue a little girl of ten ran into the clearing and hid in front of Sesshomaru, clutching his legs.
"Sesshomaru-sama!! There are bird youkai coming this way!"
He puts me on the ground and turns, facing the way Rin came, sword in hand.
"Protect Rin." It's more a demand then a request.
"A please would be nice." I mutter as I summon my board. I look at it distastefully and take off the spokes and wheels. I get on and coax Rin on behind me.
"Hang onto my leg tight Rin-chan, and I promise you, we'll be ok."
"H-hai." She says grabbing my let and holding on for dear life.
I take off into the air and try to sense the direction of the birds and let out a small gasp.
"Sesshomaru, they're all around us!"
"I knew that already ningen."
I scowl at him and stick out my tongue.
"Whatever." I mutter taking the swords off of my hips.
"Bring it birdies…" I say holding the swords in front of me. The first one comes at me.
I slash up at its wing with my left hand, and then spin, decapitating it with one clean swipe. Sensing one behind me, I pull a dagger from my waist and launch it behind me. Hearing a thud and a crash of flesh hitting trees, I attack the next bird that comes at me. Then I hear Rin scream,
"Kyoko-chan, look out!"
I turn quickly, but before I can lift a sword, the bird hits my ankles, making me and Rin fall sideways off the snowboard. I sheath my swords and grab Rin around the waist as we descend. I spin around so that when we hit, my back will hit first. Then I cry out,
"Hang on Rin, it's gonna be ok!"
But before we can hit the ground, a bird grabs me with its claws. It drops us into a sack-like thing around another bird's neck. I push Rin behind me and look around only to see…
