Forgotten Dreams of Darkness Part 7
Sesshomaru was walking back to the bedroom to check up on Kagome which he had her alone with the children that early morning. As Sesshomaru approached the door and walked in he was surprised to see Sango attending to his children and looked about the room for Kagome.
"Oh it's me don't worry." Sango smiled. "Kagome stepped out a little while ago."
"Where did she go?" Sesshomaru asked almost immediately.
"I don't know where she went but Kinata is with her, maybe they went out for a walk." Sango suggested.
"In this weather, it's starting to storm again." Sesshomaru said.
"That isn't good." Sango said. "I'm sorry I cannot be of more help to you."
Sesshomaru sighed as he turned to look out the window then suddenly felt cold all over. Inside Sesshomaru's mind, it was telling him something was not right. Something in his mind was telling him and it wasn't before to long he felt this terrible pain in his heart. The only time this happened was when his mate was in danger.
"Kagome…" Sesshomaru whispered. "Where are you." He pondered as he closed his eyes trying to sense where she could be then froze. Sesshomaru turned around quickly as a puzzled Sango looked at him.
"What's wrong?" Sango asked.
"It's Kagome, she's in danger…" Sesshomaru said as he growled slightly.
"Oh my kami how, did Blaire attack Kagome and Kinata?" Sango asked worriedly.
"Some how this one doubts that." Sesshomaru said as he turned to leave the room.
"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked.
Sesshomaru turned to Sango and ordered her to watch the children.
"Watch the children and don't let them out of your site not even for a moment." Sesshomaru said as he soon disembarked from the room.
Sesshomaru rushed downstairs rather quickly as he found everyone gathered in the commons room. Lord Shinichi soon sensed and learned of Sesshomaru's distress and turned to him asking him what was wrong.
"Sesshomaru what is it?" Lord Shinichi asked.
"Kagome and Kinata are unfortunately in danger…This Sesshomaru can sense that something has happened to Kagome." Sesshomaru said.
"What happened?" Lord Shinichi growled. "Where is she?!" he barked.
"Kinata…" Inuyasha whispered in the background. "No…"
Everyone began to argue about what actions there was to be made in the background there was this villainous laughter that was heard throughout the castle. Everyone looked around to see where the voice was coming from but no one could find out. In the center of the room black spoke appeared and once the smoke disintegrated, there stood…Blaire.
"Where are my grand-daughters?!" Lord Shinichi growled.
"Don't worry she's in really good hands." Blaire taunted and smirked.
"Bastard you lay one hand on her and I will kill you!!!" Lord Shinichi yelled. "Where are my grand-daughters?! "
"Poor, old, and senile fool." Blaire smirked. "Do you remember the fate of your daughter? She was one that could scream very loud." He laughed.
Lord Shinichi eyes went red as his inner demon came out and attacked Blaire. Lord Shinichi sliced Blaire in half but then stopped soon after that realizing…it was a fake.
"Damn it." Lord Shinichi cursed.
"Where could they have gone?" Kagura was the first one to ask as Kouga held her in his arms.
"There is only one place." Lord Shinichi spoke as he looked towards Sesshomaru. "And you probably know the same place I'm thinking off."
"Where is that then?!" Inuyasha yelled fearing for both Kinata and Kagome, but mostly for Kinata's sake.
"Were the Dark Angels live and thrive." Sesshomaru said coldly as he remembered reading about Dark Angels from the book he found back in his study.
"How do we get there?" Kouga asked.
"I know the way." Inuyasha spoke up as everyone looked towards Inuyasha. "I saw the way through Kinata's memories."
Lord Shinichi looked at Inuyasha suspiciously then stopped and realized there was no more time to argue.
"There is no more time to argue, we all must depart now." Sesshomaru said as he turned to Lord Shinichi. "This one will be sure of to bring them back."
Sesshomaru turned to the rest of the group and each one of them nodded their heads in understanding.
"This may be the final battle, we've known for a long time it was coming and now it's finally here. Let's move out." Sesshomaru spoke.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha leaded the front as everyone turned to follow them off to the Dark Angel's dwelling. Lord Shinichi held the children in his arms as Sango departed off as well.
"Oh kami bring back my girls safe and sound." Lord Shinichi spoke as he watched Sesshomaru and everyone else disembark from the castle.
Kagome tossed and turned in her sleep as she awoken in a dark cell chained to the wall. She tried moving her arms, neck, and legs but couldn't. Kagome started to look around the room and could not find the door. Instead she heard this shallow dark breathing and it started to scare her until the door opened. Kinata was pushed into the room and laid unconscious by Kagome.
"Kinata!" Kagome cried wishing she could run to see if she was alright. "Kinata wake up."
"She can't hear you." A voice said.
Kagome turned and saw Blaire in the room. Kagome wanted and tried to lunge at Blaire but could not. Blaire instead smirked and laughed at Kagome's foolish attempts.
"Face it you cannot defeat me." Blaire taunted.
"How can I defeat you if you are the one is so afraid of fighting me!" Kagome shot back.
Blaire turned and walked up to Kagome and grabbed her by the throat really hard and whispered.
"You have your father's courage I see but that won't save you. He was a coward that disgraced our family when mated your filthy mother. No wonder he abandoned you and your sister. I would of too.
"My father did not abandon us!" Kagome yelled as she felt Blaire squeeze her throat even tighter.
I killed your mother and I could do the very same thing to you…but what kind of guy would I be if I did that now." Blaire taunted. "Now who should I leave that to?"
"You're psychotic!" Kagome yelled as she choked.
"I'll let the creatures of darkness have you both!" Blaire smirked as he let go of Kagome's throat and walked out of the room.
"Make sure they don't get out." Blaire said to one of his guards that were dressed in a black cloak.
The man wearing the black cloak nodded his head showing he understood. Blaire walked away and inside the room the shallow breathing Kagome heard earlier got heavier and heavier.
"Kinata come on you got to get up right now!" Kagome yelled. "Kinata wake up!"
Kinata did not stir and Kagome could feel the creatures coming closer and trying to devour her. Kagome screamed as she tried to break away from the wall.
"I'm not going to let you devour me or my sister! This will not be my final resting place!" Kagome yelled as she used her strength and finally managed to break away from the wall.
Kagome then ran over to Kinata and covered her with her arms and held her. Kagome absorbed and took all the damage the creatures were throwing at her. All of a sudden the door opened and the creatures were forced back into the darkness. Kagome looked up and saw this tall figure dressed in black cloak. The man helped Kagome up.
"You and your sister have to get out of here right away follow me now!" The cloak hidden man ordered.
"Why should I listen to you, how do I not know your like Blaire or those creatures we just fought?!" Kagome yelled. "Who are you?!"
"Now is not the time, we got to move now!" The cloak hidden man ordered. "Move!" he yelled.
"Not until you answer my questions!" Kagome yelled as she pulled away the cloak from the man's hidden face and gasped.
"Father is that you?" Kagome whispered.
"Let's go and I'll explain things on the way." Kagome's father told her.
Kagome nodded and she bent down trying once more to wake Kinata up. This time she awoke slowly and was unaware of what was happing.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"No time to explain we've got to get out of here right away!" Kagome said.
Kinata nodded her head as Kagome and their father ran out of the room.
As Kagome, Kinata, and their father were running down the corridors of the castle he started to explain to the girls what had happened. Kinata was more than shocked to realize and find out that was her father. He started to tell them after their mother died he couldn't stay in the eastern lands anymore until Blaire was defeated. He said the only way to do that was to return to his own lands and await the arrival for Kagome and Kinata to return. He told Kagome and Kinata the both of them had the power to defeat Blaire and it would take both of them to accomplish that task. That is why him and their mother had worked so hard to separate the two but never knew until it was too late Kinata had been abducted from the previous caretakers. Their father soon pulled them into what was a closet. From the shelves were identical black cloaks like his and gave each of the girls one.
"Put them on." He ordered.
"Dad…." Kinata started but stopped.
Their father placed a hand on both of their shoulders. "Everything will be fine." He assured them as he both embraced them as he let go of them.
"Let's go now." Their father spoke as Kagome and Kinata nodded their heads quickly and followed their father outside of the room.
"I hope we have the power to defeat Blaire." Kagome said as the tree of them shuffled along side the dark corridors of the castle.
"It feels so cold…" Kinata whispered.
Kagome leaned closer to Kinata; it was a little cold but not too bad.
"Were almost there now let's get moving before we're caught." Their father said.
"Sesshomaru…where are you when I need you." Kagome whispered but continued to follow her father.
Kagome, Kinata and there father were getting closer to the exit but suddenly where stopped when stood silently in place.
"Kinata what's wrong." Kagome asked.
"We can't go this way…"Kinata whispered. "We can't go at all…"
"What are you talking about? Of course we got to go this way Kinata." Kagome said, while she still confused why Kinata had said that.
"He knows…they all know…I can feel it." Kagome whispered.
Kagome and their father looked at Kinata who looked back at them then all of a sudden they heard this most evil monotone voice that was so powerful, so cold, it would send chills down your spine. Everyone tuned and saw Blaire at the end of the hallway. There was no way out unless you got around him.
"Damn it…how did he know?" Kagome said.
"I know everything that goes around in this castle, just like I knew all along that was your father." Blaire smirked.
"Bastard, leave them out of this! This is between you and me Blaire!" Their father yelled.
"Dad…" Kagome whispered.
Takashi looked back at his daughters one last time and smiled to the both of them.
"Kagome, Kinata take care of one another!" he yelled. "You both have the power to defeat Blaire.'
"Father what are you doing?" Kinata yelled. "No…" she whispered. "No!"
"Go!" Takashi yelled. "Tell your mother I'll be waiting for her on the other side!"
With that Takashi ran at top speed to attack Blaire. Kagome looked around and saw a window that lead to the outside. Kagome ran and grabbed Kinata's wrist and ran to the window. They climbed onto the edge and opened the window…down below was a river. This was their only way out.
"Kinata get ready." Kagome yelled. "One, two…"
"Three!" Kinata yelled.
Kinata clung to Kagome's wrist as an explosion shook the building tears were falling down Kagome and Kinata's face. Both plunged head first into the river as they drifted down stream that lead into the Dark Forest. Kagome saw a rock and reached out for it. Somehow with what strength she had left, Kagome was able to pull herself and Kinata out of the river bank. Kagome shivered as her and Kinata tried ringing out their clothing the best they could. Kinata looked up into the sky and everything was getting really dark.
"Where are we?" Kagome asked.
Back at Kaede's village:
A storm was moving in as many villagers were running inside and gathering the children as well. The rain started to come down in a drizzle but intensified after that. Thunder crackled and boomed as the lighting lit up the sky. Kikyou walked out into the open and looked up. It was just as dark as the night's sky.
"Sister Kikyou comes back inside before ye catch a fever." Kaede called.
Kikyou watched the sky as she started to turn back to the hut.
"Sister Kikyou ye got to stop being reckless ye are no longer just soil and bones." Kaede scolded.
"I know Kaede." Kikyou replied with a smile. "There's a change coming…I can sense it in the air. I sensed this after Naraku's aura was missing as well. Something even more dangerous is at bay…hopefully Inuyasha and the others can handle it…."
Back in the Dark Forest:
"Where are we?" Kagome asked.
"Kagome…What are we going to do now?" Kinata asked. "What did Father mean by we have the power to defeat Blaire? How are we supposed to accomplish that?"
"Calm down Kinata we just have to think logical for one moment." Kagome spoke.
"Think logical? Kagome there is no time for that! We need to act quickly or else everyone we know and care about will be dead…Look at what's become of father! He sacrificed himself for us; we cannot let his death go in vain." Kinata yelled.
Kagome got up and slapped Kinata across the face real hard which made her flinch.
"Don't you think I know that?! I know father sacrificed himself for us because he believes we can defeat Blaire. I know we can restore this time and place to the way it once was before the darkness took over." Kagome spoke. "Kinata I need you here with me."
"I'm here." Kinata whispered.
Kagome took a deep breath and suddenly got into a defensive position as she sensed a number of people coming this way.
"Looks like we got company." Kinata spoke as she too got into a defensive position.
"Shall we dance?" Kagome smirked as she looked over at Kinata who smiled right back at Kagome.
"I'm not going down without a fight." Kinata spoke.
Kagome and Kinata waited patiently to see who was coming and was surprised to see Sesshomaru and the others.
"Sesshomaru it's you!" Kagome cried happily as she ran into his arms.
Inuyasha ran to Kinata and embraced her as well.
"Are you crying?" Kinata asked as she touched Inuyasha's face.
"No what would give you that idea?!" he yelled.
"No reason." Kinata smiled.
Sesshomaru embraced Kagome and examined her wounds to make sure she was okay.
"I'm fine really I am." Kagome spoke. "We meet our father." She whispered.
"You did? When was that?" Sesshomaru asked.
"When we escaped…Sesshomaru our father helped us escape, he also sacrificed his own life for us." Kagome said. "We have to eliminate Blaire now before it's too late."
"It's already too late for you!" A voice called out.
Everyone turned and saw it was Blaire and behind him were over a hundred dark angels.
"Damn it!" Inuyasha cursed.
"Looks like our little reunion is goanna be cut short a little shorter then we expected." Kouga smirked as he got into a defensive position. "Bring it on!" he yelled.
"Oh I'm not going to fight you, all of you tainted blood demons are worthless! Kinata!" Blaire called.
"No…" Kinata whispered.
Kinata held her head as she lost her balance while Inuyasha caught her in time.
"Leave her alone!" Kagome yelled. "Sesshomaru Blaire is controlling Kinata's mind somehow!"
Sesshomaru nodded as he went to attack Blaire but Kinata stood in his way and sent him back into the ground.
"Sesshomaru are you okay?!" Kagome yelled.
Sesshomaru got up easily and was unharmed.
"Sesshomaru let me deal with her…she's my sister." Kagome spoke as she advanced forward. "Everyone stay out of this it's between Kinata and me."
Sesshomaru nodded in understanding as he watched Kagome walk forward to Kinata who set up a barrier so there would be no intrusions.
Blaire and everyone waited to see what was to become of this match.
"You betrayed me." Kinata growled. "Everyone else along with you is the same!"
"Kinata listen to you! Blaire is lying to you he's controlling your mind!" Kagome yelled.
"You're lying!" Kinata yelled as Kagome dodged Kinata's attack. "Mother and Father abandoned and tried o kill me!"
"Our parents loved us very much Kinata, what you're saying makes no sense!" Kagome yelled.
"It will all make sense in a little while." Kinata spoke coldly.
Inside Kinata's mind:
"No Kagome! It's not me that's talking!" Kinata cried. "She can't hear me… no one can…get out of my head! Let me regain control of my body!"
"Kinata I don't want to fight you please you're my sister!" Kagome yelled.
"You are weak and mean nothing to me!" Kinata yelled as she struck Kagome with a fatal blow. "Now I will kill you!"
If Kinata wouldn't believe Kagome then maybe Kagome could convince her not by words but maybe by memories. Kagome hurried when she got up and struck Kinata onto the ground. Kagome invaded Kinata's mind showing her what had truly happened eighteen years ago.
Inside Kinata's mind:
Kinata was walking around inside her own mind that was nothing but complete darkness. Suddenly Kinata was pulled into this blinding light and didn't know what was happening. Kinata looked around and saw the bone eaters well.
"Why am I here?" Kinata asked. "What purpose is there for me being here?"
If only she hadn't asked. Kinata then saw a beautiful young lady running and collapsed next to the bone eaters well. It was her mother! In her arms had to be Kagome.
"Mother it's you!" Kinata cried out as she ran over to her mother to embrace her but went through her. "Am I a ghost?" Kinata asked but then stopped.
The next image Kinata saw was her mother dropping Kagome into the bone eaters well and her being attacked by…Blaire!
"No…leave her alone!" Kinata cried.
The next image was her mother was dead and her father that finally who managed to escape the dark angels.
Suddenly Kinata was pulled into another memory and this one was after her mother and father decided they had to give Kinata and Kagome up in order to protect them both. Kinata saw the dark shadow creatures attack her and her caretakers. She then saw how Blaire had abducted her.
"No…" She whispered.
Kinata then remembered how her father had sacrificed himself for her and Kagome. Her parent's sacrificed their own lives to see Kinata and Kagome to have their own.
"Mother…Father…Kagome…I'm so sorry!" Kinata cried.
Inside her mind Kinata then saw Kagome whose hand reached out to Kinata's. Kinata grabbed her hand and was pulled free from Blaire's grasp.
Kagome was then sent flying and smashed into to the ground. Around Kinata, everyone heard a blood curling scream that escaped from her mouth.
"I won't allow you to seal my fate!" Kinata yelled. "I won't give in to you!"
Kinata fought with all her strength and was finally free of Blaire once and for all. The barrier then broke. Kinata looked over to Kagome and helped her up. Both were breathing hard. While Sesshomaru and the others were fighting off the rest of Blaire's dark angels, that only left Blaire to Kinata and Kagome to take care of.
"Kagome I'm going to attack Blaire with all I got and hold him back. You've got to attack with everything you got, understand? Don't hold back on my account!" she yelled.
"Kinata no this plan is suicidal." Kagome yelled.
"Kagome we got no other choice now!" Kinata yelled.
Kagome knew Kinata was right but the plan seemed way too risky.
"Kagome come on we don't have that much time left!" Kinata yelled as she forced a smile. "You're my sister and I love you with all my heart."
Tears escaped from Kinata's face as she lunged towards Blaire.
"KAGOME ATTACK BLAIRE NOW!" Kinata yelled as she then felt one of Blaire's fatal blows hit her in the chest.
Kagome listened to Kinata and summoned up all of her powers into one attack and unleashed it upon Blaire.
"I call upon the revealing light of darkness let me use your powers, give me your strength!" Kagome yelled feeling the entire power surge through her body.
Kagome lunged towards Blaire and unleashed her attack onto him.
"Revealing Light of Darkness!" Kagome yelled. "Send him back to where he came from!"
"No I'll get you all for this- this isn't over!" Blaire yelled as he soon evaporated into nothing, leaving no trail behind.
Blaire was finally defeated. Kagome fell towards the ground and started to breathe sort of heavily but she laughed. "Kinata we did it!" she yelled. "Kinata?"
Kagome slowly got up and saw her sister's body lay a couple feet away from her drenched in oozing blood.
"Kinata!" Kagome cried as she used every ounce of strength she had left to be by her side. "Kinata!"
"Kagome…" Kinata whispered.
Sesshomaru, Inuyasha and the others ran to Kagome's side. The dark angels were all defeated and it seemed like they had won the victory which they did but now was another battle. That battle was Kinata's life.
"Kinata hang on please!" Kagome cried.
"Kagome I'm dying." Kinata flat out said.
"You can't! No this cannot be happening!" Inuyasha almost yelled as tears were dripping down his face.
"Inuyasha please come by my side." Kinata whispered.
Inuyasha obeyed and kneeled next to Kinata.
"You…you showed me what it was like to feel, what it was like to love." Kinata said as she coughed up blood from her mouth. "Inuyasha I love you too!" Kinata cried.
Inuyasha held her hand and kissed it as Kinata's gaze turned back to Kagome's.
"You're my sister…my flesh and blood…I-I will never forget you…ever." Kinata whispered. "I want to be buried next to mother…that is my last wish."
With that Kinata fell silent and passed on into the next life.
"Kinata…Kinata…Kinata!" Kagome yelled as she tried to wake Kinata up but it was too late. "Sesshomaru try to resurrect her with your Tenseiga."
Sesshomaru walked up to Kinata but could not sense her soul by her body it was already gone. The sword would not pulse or resurrect Kinata.
"This one cannot…her soul is already gone." He spoke as he withdrew the Tenseiga.
Kagome cried as she clung to Kinata's blood covered body.
"She at least deserves a proper burial." Kagome spoke as she got up. "Let's go to the Eastern Land Castle…that is where my mother's grave resides."
"I'll carry her." Inuyasha said as he picked up Kinata's body.
Tears fell from his face as Kagome placed her hand onto Inuyasha for a moment then walked to the front with Sesshomaru.
Back at the Eastern Lands Castle:
Lord Shinichi was inside the castle as the guards came running announcing everyone had returned but where afraid to report what they saw. The Lord ignored them and got up to welcome them on their safe returning. As Lord Shinichi walked outside his smile dropped into a frown as he saw Kinata's corpse in Inuyasha's arms.
Later that day a funeral was arranged for Kinata on the same hill with cherry blossom tress where their mother was resting. Everyone cried for Kinata and said a few words about her in her honor and left shortly after that. Kagome wanted to be alone for a while and stayed. Kagome sat there on the hill when suddenly she saw three transparent figures by her side. Kagome looked up crying and smiling at the same time as she saw her mother, her father, and her sister Kinata evaporate into the heavenly light. Kagome smiled as she watched them go but felt some what at peace. Kinata was finally reunited with their parents…the parents she never gotten or ever had. Kagome sighed as she got up and walked back to Sesshomaru and awaiting, her children.
