''Tadita?'' She heard her mother's voice, that was her mother's nickname for her, and as soon as that name was spoken, the eyes vanished, and the pain disappeared, she was left staring at the tapestry of Inu no Taisho, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's father, she realized that the man was the exact replica of the one whom she had seen before arriving to the time Kagome calls of feudal era. She felt like telling that new found information to Kagome but the pain she had just experienced made her body ache, her mind pulse and her heart beat faster, she was left exhausted and so she slowly closed her eyes, letting herself drift off to sleep, before she fell asleep she realized something, since she woke up from the coma, she had been sleeping a lot, and wondered if that was normal, yet shrugged as her body was washed away with another wave of exhaustion.
Just before she fell asleep, and conscious slipped, she spoke ''Night mommy.''
Kagome but simply gave a small condescending smile. ''Good night Lilith, go see your mommy.''
Sesshoumaru stared at her and back at the ceiling, he saw it, the purple eyes, and the pain emanating from her body, and wondered how did she, a priestess, did not see such a demonic creature.
Chapter 7: Dreams of Freedom
Lilith woke up on a two-headed dragon's back, at first, she was startled but as soon as her eyes fell on Kagome she relaxed, and brought her body upwards, sitting side-ways on top of the dragon.A smile grew on her face as she remembered when her and Kagome played chase at the age of 10, Lilith was always the winner, being the faster one she caught Kagome in a glimpse of an eye, and well, when Kagome was caught, she immediately gave up on playing and called for her mom, saying she wanted to go home, however Miss Higurashi always found a way for Kagome to play with Lilith again.
Kagome's parents knew Lilith's before they died, they felt awfully bad about the event, and no matter how much they wanted to, they couldn't take her in, when Ib took her to his home, they were delighted, they visited them weekly to keep Lilith in touch with reality. They couldn't have imagined he would later on 'dump' her at the orphanage again, all because of his girlfriends, it stung Miss Higurashi's heart to see Lilith so helpless and alone, that's why she made her best to keep Kagome there for hours when they visited. She felt herself yearning to run, and do, she moved her eyes towards her legs, gently caressing her knee, she attempted to bring her leg up, much to her dismay, it didn't even itch, she found herself dragging her eyes towards the sky, admiring the beautiful white clouds mixing with the blue background, it looked so peaceful, once in awhile, a small group of birds flew above them, Lilith stared at the small creatures, completely free, soaring above all else, ruling the skies, she missed the feeling of freedom, how she felt so unbeatable every time she ran, it was as if her body became one whenever she heard those three little words 'Ready? Set! GO!' , even though she never left the ground, even if gravity still pushed her body in the hard floor, she didn't feel the ground, she felt the wind, and her legs were her wings, allowing her to fly and be free, but now, that feeling was nothing more but a part of her dreams, her Dreams of Freedom.
Her mind traveled further back into her past, the memories of her parents bringing tears to the corners of her eyes, the salty water rolled down her cheeks as she recalled her mother's sweet voice when singing her a lullaby after she had a bad dream, and her father's strong arms, that held her safe and above all else whenever she felt scared or sad, the two people who gave their all to make her happy, so that she could live, to survive, to become the warrior she was born to be.
Focused on her memories she did not notice the wind hitting against her face, that was until she felt a leaf hitting her face. Her green orbs flew open, she could see nothing else but the blue peaceful sky, she looked downwards, staring as her feet and legs hang like like the lifeless limbs they were, she felt her body being roughly attacked by the wind and claws on her shoulders as she saw, a big black bird, with emerald wings, and red stripes flowing from it's blue eyes down to it's fire like tail.
''LILITH!'' She heard Kagome shout from behind her, looking over her shoulder she found her, Sango and Miroku riding Kirara, while Sesshoumaru flew on some sort of white fluffy 'cloud' and Inuyasha rode on the two-headed dragon's back, with the company of the toad like demon. Kagome's bow was swiftly pulled back, an arrow pointing at the bird's body, when she let go the sound of wings flapping echoed through the plains, as the bird flew high above the sky, at full speed, his grey beak began to glow red, as flames started to engulf it's body length in a black fire.
Another of Kagome's arrow flew past them as the bird quickly tilted it's body, dodging the arrow and batting his wings with a strength that made the ground, meters underneath, crack. Without warning, the flames engulfed her body, and she saw the bird turn into pure bright flames. Look, the sun. The bird seemed to speak into her mind, she obeyed it's command and looked ahead. Her eyes grew as she admired the view of the sun shining bright above the earth, the beautiful baby blue mixed with light tones of red, orange and yellow, with small clouds here and there, scattered around it, it was a breathtaking view. One day the sun will stop shinning, the clouds will fade, and the sky will be dark, you know, it's going to disappear someday, but you still enjoy it don't you? Sometimes you have to forget what's gone, appreciate what still remains and look forward, to the future, to what it holds you, be it good or bad, it's a blessing to be alive. Never give up on your dreams, on your freedom, fight for it, even if your body is rendered useless, use your sheer will to fight and take control of it, and fly, above anyone else, young one.
The bird that had now turned into flames let go of his grip on her shoulders and flew ahead of her, as she fell, the bird turned, it's face meeting hers, green orbs on emerald ones. Lilith stretched her left arm forwards, and opened her hand as wide as it could, seeking to touch to bird's beak ''It takes courage to dream, to seek out things you know are unreachable, yet to dream, is to hold the greatest power, for your mind will seek further, harder, to achieve those unattainable goals, as long as you are capable of dreaming, hope is never lost.'' The bird spoke when it's head came in contact with her hand, it's body seemed to explode into fire like shadows, as it engulfed her body ''The day will come when you will no longer need to dream.'' The shadows closed up against her body, burning her and keeping her from moving, the ground came closer and closer to her face, the impending fear of losing or life finally rose to the top of her nerves, as a ear piercing scream was unleashed throughout miles of green pasture.
Her scream ran clear as daylight in his ears, before anyone else from the group could see or do anything, he transformed into a ball of light, quickly travelling in matter of seconds to where she was falling, wrapped in shadows, finally back in his human form he flew to her, reaching her arms towards her, in an attempt to hold her, yet the shadows quickly seemed to dodge, time after time, he could not grab her, and every time the black flames moved her around like a puppet, another nonhuman scream left her throat, until finally he felt it, at first it had been barely noticeable, yet after the 5th time of not succeeding to grab Lilith, he smelt his father's scent, radiating out of the girls features, and a white glow that kept the flames from touching her already burnt skin, however there was something even more off, he sensed a demon aura, not the one from the bird, nor his father's, it was weaker, but he couldn't point out the exact location of where it was.
Finally, after mere inches of the ground, the flaming shadows stopped their torment, becoming bright red, before swirling maniacally around her stomach, soon enough the flames pierced into her soft skin, but no blood came out, and the flames keep pushing in, until finally they disappeared and Sesshoumaru was able to grab her unconscious form. Her body laid in his arms in a sloppy bridal style, her head falling back, with her sweet scented brow hair swinging back and forth, her peach lips slightly parted as she struggled for breath, only then, did he truly notice the girl's features, and how, in his arms, she was so light, fragile, so breakable he, the almighty Lord of the West, Lord Sesshoumaru felt afraid of even moving a finger in fear that she might get hurt.
''LILITH!'' He heard Kagome screaming from the sky, as she and the group approached them, full speed.
Something within the great lord stirred, and without warning, a barrier was brought up, separating them from Sesshoumaru and Lilith. He heard Inuyasha scream 'Bastard' before the barrier became complete yet, it wasn't him who made the protective wall, he felt the aura of another demon, much like the bird's, and it felt like it was coming straight from his arms, that's when he looked away from the direction he had previously been looking, and noticed her, skin pale as snow, black hair with red tips, a purple full moon in the middle of her forehead with two small red stripes crossing it, forming an 'X' with a green rose in the center. Her delicate fingers had now turned into a deadly weapon as they gained large, thick claws.
The place from where the flames had pierced her body now shone a bright hue of blue's, and the aura that had been so small, so insignificant now hit him strongly, debating his own power, yet as quickly as her appearance changed, and the aura showed itself, it dissipated, however the barrier still remained.
