The Festival

It was later in the day when people had began to arrive at the shire with there offerings for the festival. This was the day that we celebrated the harmony on earth. It wasn't human or demon but every living creature that resides on earth has both good and bad thanks to the gods and thats what we celebrate today.

Kagome and Tashi sat under a beautiful sakura tree and watched the festivities from a far. All the villagers talked some were dancing to the music of the wise. The food was bountiful and smelled delicious floating in the air inviting all to enjoy it's many gifts. Kaede sat in her usual place teaching the children the reasons we celebrated and tall tales. Kagome already knew that kaede had taught her everything she knew yet kagome's thirst for knowledge hungered. She wanted to learn how to fight and new experiences outside the village. She knew one day she would. People believed kagome to be strange but they accepted her abnormalities. She could run faster then anyone and jump high enough to reach the branch of the ancient time tree. Kagome always took them as gifts from her Tashi and the necklace meant the world to her because she knew they were given to her by her parents. Tashi meowed and rubbed against kagome's stomach and unknowingly kagome pet his head. Kagome looked towards the sky for a moment then heard a great commotion. Everyone was taking there places next to kaede to hear the story of The Great Battle of the Blood Moon. Kaede crackling voice yet fine like glass began to tell her story and her voice just seemed to echo in kagome's head.

"Long ago the powerful warriors of evil came together to control the world. The only things standing in their way of total domination were the three warriors of god." Kaede paused for a moment to let the mood set in. A little girl with a ponytail engulfed in flowers like a black waterfall from her head with flowers cascading down it ask a simple question kagome had never really thought about. "What are the names of god's warriors kaede?" she asked so innocently. Kaede smiled that warm smile that kagome remembered well that the right question had been asked. "Aye that is a good question child. The first was a demon who controlled the power of the moon's great majestic power his name was Inu no Taishou. The second warrior was Lady Suki a great demon who controlled the essence of fire and of earth's elements. The third warrior was a great war demon Lord Shouten was very powerful he controlled all elements well that I know of. Some say that Lady Suki and Lord Shouten became gods or god like figures or else immortals and were mated together to create a force so strong they could not reside on earth but no one truly knows." Kaede said with a bit of pride. Kagome noted that because kaede would usually speak like that when she was hiding something. This made kagome somewhat curious. A young boy then asked kaede a different quite opposite question, "how many evil warriors were there and what were their names?" Kaede thought for a moment like she usually does, "well child there were I believe five. The evil dragon twisting demon Lord Sounga. The great sword wielder bankotsu. The evil wind witch kagura. The evil illusionist Kaguya. And the worst of them the lord of evil itself Naraku," as she spit his name out like poison kagome froze and had a sudden flash back.

He laughed evilly, "Pathetic." Naraku suddenly spun around and a black orb of great dark energy came swirling towards sesshomaru and kagome. Sesshomaru as quick as kagome blinked deflected the orb with a whip that seem to drip from his claws...Naraku tensed and watched sesshomaru intently. Sesshomaru began to emit a Bright blue light. Naraku turned away and kagome saw Naraku's blood red eyes before the light sesshomaru was giving off became to bright and she covered her eyes.Kagome suddenly was thrust back into reality. It can't be the same naraku...it's not possible...is it? That one thought seem to linger in her head as she had once again entered the world of reality and realized that kaede had already began the story.
