Chapter 6: Kami good and bad
Kagome roamed around the well making sure everyone was in position "remember guys hold on to the well no matter what," she whispered taking her place.
"What are we going to do Mama?"
"Believe in me guys. Believe in my love and keep It close to your hearts okay," they nodded as she started to chant
To the kami I call, hear my plea
To the earth I call, her my prayer
I call to the power of the east and west
I call to the power of the North and south
Open the way and let the power come forth
The well begun to shake and rumble, their grip tighten as they held on.
Behold, the time has come
The time has come to unite as one
Behold the time has come
To encircle the earth with my love
A stream of power shot from the well straight up into the sky as Kagome tried to bend it to her will. It took a few moments before the power drew back and the old wood glowed brightly as it poured into Kagome. She took all that she could without killing herself and pushed the rest back into the wood and toward everyone else.
Rin heard them before she turned her head. The tell tale sign of wolves. Their hunger eyes and snarling mouths came into view through the trees. They slid along with the darkness, making the hair on the back of her neck stand up. She could swear she felt ones panted breath on her back. "Tonight you die little one and none will be able to bring you back," they growled.
Rin closed her eyes and was about to raise her hands to ward them off when Kagome's words came back to her. Her grip tightened as she spoke. "No I want Rin believes in mama and mama says you lie"
"That human woman is a fool. She doesn't love you give up child and die"
"Mama loves everyone but she loves Rin more. Mama's love is legendary. So go AWAY," Rin stood still gripping the old wood and started proudly at Kagome who seem to smile to her. Power flooded her system making her eyes roll up in her head as she fell to her knees a smile painted her face and the darkness rolled away. Through it all her hands never left their place over her symbol of the 3 quarter moon.
The voice taunted Shippo from the darkness.
"Your family died and so shall you," Shippo looked around scared. No one was there. He was the only one holding onto the wooden structure. "Their over there little snack" Shippo looked to see Kagome, Rin and the others walking away from him. He screamed for them yet they kept on walking until they disappeared from his sight. "They left you. They left you," it sang off key hopping from shoulder to shoulder.
Shippo howled and sob for what seemed forever as the dark creature sang on and on. He leapt up onto the well still gripping the wood about to jump when he froze. "Why did you stop little snack: Their leaving their leaving" It song.
Shippo looked down as his tears hit bottom.
Ki plink (Miroku) "Water can show you many things"
Ki plink (Rin) "Magic and water are like one"
Ki plink (Kagome) "Evil can not corrupt the beauty that it shows"
Shippo slide back down the well and looked back down as his tear once again revealed the fact his family was all around him. And that it was only a flutter of light jumping from shoulder to shoulder.
"You lie," he growled "Mama would never leave me. Her love is Legendary and one day they will tell tales of mama's love. GO AWAY" he howled.
Kagome smiled at him before power untold raced through his body. His eye too rolled up into his head as he fell forward and to his knees also with a smile.
Miroku quivered when he felt her pressed against his back. Only one person made him feel like that way, her. His nose quivered, only one person smelled like her, her scent of battle, wild and free like the winter wind. "Come away with me Roku, let's forget everything and run away forever" he could feel the heat of her burning against him and he choked. He wanted to forget everything just to have her back with him again like she used to be. His staff jiggled under a strange breeze that tune she used to hum as she cleaned her weapon. "Forgot what you saw Roku that dog means nothing to me" This was killing him he started to pull away. "That right Roku give in and come with me . . . I love you my Roku" she purred.
Miroku's staff rang off key
Flash: what now he knew as Sango sneaking out of camp later during the night
Flash: "Inuyasha you need to stop seeing. . ."
"Stay out of it Monk he can see anyone he wants you are not his father or anything," an angry Sango fumed before knocking him out.
Flash: Inuyasha driving into Sango toned body like a madman. Her begging for more before a naked Kikyo joined the two.
Flash: "We all have darkness within us, just never give in to it" Kagome soothed him when he riled about how he wanted to hurt Sango for what she had done to him
"Almost demon of darkness," he gripped the wells rim tighter. He looked to Kagome who winked at him and smiled, "Be gone and torment me no longer."
"Do you think that child could love you? Give it up Miroku no woman will love and you will end up with no children. You will die alone"
Miroku looked right at Kagome's smile. "Than I will have the love of Kagome-sama. The love of my sister and her children it doesn't matter with the love of my sister I need not another. Her love is legendary now BEGONE" he yelled never taking his eyes of Kagome and her smile. His eyes rolled up in his head as power filled his veins.
The darkness finding it had no chance with these three slid back unto the pit that spawned them. She was worthy; it was the final piece of the soul the Kami were looking for.
When the lights finally died down all gather looked on in awe at what they saw. Two being of sparkling moon light turned to them. Everyone even Sesshoumaru took a step back awed at the power these two being poured into the clearing everyone gathered knew automatically these beings were a higher power
"Behold the shaman and warriors that freed youkai kind eons ago have been reborn."
"Armitama" Rin smiled still clutching a piece of the collapsed well in her clawed hands. Long gone was the humanoid child in its place a tiny Inu looking like what would be a female Sesshoumaru only black with no amour. A piece of the jewel now criss-cross her 3 quarter moon. On her neck a pink ribbon with three charms, a heart, two crossed katana and a fan.
"Nigimitama" Shippo growled as he grew a few feet in height, furry ears perched on top his head twitch in time with his 6 tails. His colors all black with cream strips here and there. Around his neck hung a tiny bell and what looked to be a sword, on his forehead the symbol of the sun and a shade of jewel.
"Kushimitama" Miroku sat crossed-legged one hand still holding a piece of wood his staff in the other. His hair had changed to a pitch of black like Kagome's only with violet highlights. His forehead matching Shippo's only with a bigger piece of the jewel. Around his neck hang a strange symbol his robes all white.
"Sakimitama" Kagome body gave out as Sesshoumaru caught her he took in the changes. Like the Monk her ears were slightly pointed. Her face more refined and less babyish. The mark on her forehead over lapped the Full Moon and completed jewel.
Everyone noticed the smell of death no longer clung to the three of the four. Shippo and Miroku smelled of bamboo, water and the earth after a day bathed in sunlight. While Rin and Kagome smelled of honeysuckle and moonflowers that bloom under the moons first rays. Power raw and untamed flowed through them all giving them an unearthly feeling like the two being bathed in moonlight.
"At the beginning of time the tale goes. Youkai kind was enslaved. Beaten and used for entertainment they were. Until four humanoid creatures stood up and helped us escape. They had power over flowing raw and untamed like the Kami. We rose up energized and ready to fight as we made our escape changing the face of creation for all time. The male warriors taught us how to fight while the female shamans gave us powers so that we would never be enslaved again."
"Are you sure papa?" young Sesshoumaru questioned.
"Of course my son it was written so we never forget"
"Forget what papa?"
"They will come again my son. When they do youkai kind will undergo another change if we are found worthy"
"Are they Kami papa?"
"Earth bound Kami my son. That is why I must get close to that Izayoi woman. I believe she is the reincarnation of that shaman."
Sesshoumaru was brought from his thoughts s Kagome shifted in his arms.
The Kami allowed moments to take in the four and them before they spoke again.
"We have delivered our children among you yet again. It is time for the world to change yet again. And they will usher in that change. Youkai kind is dying out and that can not happen."
"What do mean change?" The northern lord spoke up.
"Do you not remember your teaching child of the youkai that came before?"
"That was a myth? Wasn't it?"
"No child of the youkai that came before. Youkai kind was enslaved I am sad to say by the ones that were supposed to protect them. But our children stood up, the ones you see before you stood up and wiped them off the face of this world and sent them to a hell they created. Now it is your turn to protect them until it is time for the great change once again"
"What do you mean we are dying out?"
"So close to your animal counterparts' youkai kind don't reproduce half as fast as humans. This will cause youkai kind to die out leaving nothing but stories behind." One of beings floated toward Sesshoumaru and stroked Kagome's cheek. "Our daughter knows all to well what happened to youkai kind and her kind alike. You have but to ask her. If her trust in you is solid she will answer."
The other being who had been quite up until now finally spoke.
"Come my only we have told them enough"
"Why," came Kagome's small voice as she stood.
"Because you are worthy daughter of mine. Your family is right they will tell tales of your legendary love for eons in the heavens and on earth. No Kami human or youkai is as loving and caring as you are. Believe in your love as your family does and nothing can stop you, not any earth bound creature nor heavenly creature"
"These children of the youkai that came before will provide you and yours protection. Believe in them for they have been found worthy of our trust little phoenix shaman."
"What am I supposed to do?"
"You will know when the time is right. Your heart will lead you has always lead you to the truth, keep following it my little phoenix. You will raise above and the world will know of your love"
"Come my one you have said and seen enough," with that the two disappeared in a shower of light.
The moment the Kami left the group was attack. Through the tree they came attacking everyone in their sight. The flash of steel blinded Kagome for a moment as she threw herself in front of the children raising her hands; she purified six creatures before she lost two fingers. Her scream of pain pushed the group of youkai into action killing all who attacked them. Only one youkai got away and it was being chased through the woods but vanished as quickly as it came.
Sango waited until the solider left before picking up the tiny bloody fingers.
She placed the fingers on the alter along with the other items Kikyo had her collect. They killed many a Miko and witch for this ritual. She couldn't wait to get this over with. She wasn't made to kill humans like this, but if this was it takes to stop Kagome she would do it.
Kikyo lite the fire around the ceramic bowl and started tossing in items.
Akuma hear my plea
Flesh of my flesh
Bone of my bone
Return to me what is mine
Eyes of the oldest witch
Tongue of a seeress
Akuma hear my prayer
I call to you Akuma
AKUMA
The ground rumbled lightening struck the ceramic bowl as darkness oozed from the bowl. Only red eyes could be seen staring back at her.
"Why have you called me woman?" the dark voice spoke delighting in the fear it inspired.
"I want to be returned to flesh, I want my soul back"
"Your soul has been reincarnated woman you have claim of nothing woman," she tossed in Kagome's fingers. "mmm such a pure soul a child of the heavenly Kami. This is the soul you claim?" the darkness twisted around Kikyo as it whispered and laughed. "You know this soul is not yours woman why do you want it?"
"The child is too weak I need power and shall have it," she boosted as the dark spirit laughed again.
"So be it let the ritual began, "It growled and disappeared. The liquid turned purple . . .
