Come undone Chapter 4
Numb
She awoke in an unfamiliar place, it was bright, there were glowing figures sitting at a large wooden table, turned toward her direction. She could not make out their faces, because of the brightness, she closed her eyes and reopened them, the light had faded and she saw the faces of magnificent and indescribable beings to her left and what appeared to be demons and humans sitting together on her right.
The most beautiful female she had ever seen stood and walked over to her clasping her hands in her own. "Welcome Kagome, I am glad I get to meet you, I just wish it would have been under different circumstances." The women spoke her beautiful charcoal eyes lit up, her long flowing raven tresses appearing as soft as silk; the decadent kimono she wore showed she was of royalty. A large demon came to stand next to the women; he took Kagome's hand in his own. He seemed familiar just like the women but she could not put her fingers on whom or what they reminded her of.
The demon spoke, his silvery white hair in a high pony tail, a crescent moon on his forehead and two claw marks like stripes on his cheeks. "It is a great honor to meet the one who fixed all that had been undone in my absence. " The demon took her hand and kissed it lightly "I am very proud that my son found you."
"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked confused at everything that was going on. One of the beings to her left began to speak. "Life is never fair young priestess, and many do not get a second chance. You who can cross through time and who has healed many wounds with your selflessness do not deserve what happened to you. "
Kagome turned to face the being hanging on its every word. "We cannot give you your soul back for it belongs to one who is already living. But we can give you a soul of your own filled with your purity and strength; we will give you the gift of life as your own person."
Before Kagome could say anything she was enveloped in darkness
She awoke in a hut, the sound of shuffling feet made its way to her ears. "Ah you are awake; you have been asleep for so long I did not believe you would make it through." The women who spoke was beautiful she had golden hair tied high in a bun; she was wearing a simple green kimono that brought out the glowing paleness of her skin.
"Who are you?, Who , Who am I"
"I am Akina, I am an earth demon, I live in the village with many orphaned children, and a few families that come from villages attacked by demons, and you are Kagome a priestess from a village far from here. You were hurt and wound up in my village; I have cared for you for nearly a month." Akina said.
"Kagome" The name fell from her lips, it sounded so familiar, it sparked something a memory or a dream, but she could not grasp it.
"I will help you while you are here. I will teach you some of what I know, healing and fighting and such so that you can defend yourself if you choose to leave this place. You may stay in my hut; the only thing I ask is you help out when needed in the village. I know this must seem scary or daunting because you have no recollection of your past, but you will get through this I promise." Akina said as she handed Kagome a bowl of soup.
"How do you know so much about me if I am not from here?" Kagome asked, as she slowly sipped her soup.
"The God's told me, they have instructed me to care for you and that is what I shall do. Now eat up before we go out on our afternoon errands." Akina said taking her own bowl and beginning to eat.
Two days Kagome had spent in the small village and she had found her knack at the end of the second day. Akina had told her to watch over the village children a mixture of humans and demons and even two half demon children. When Kagome met them they would argue, and fight. The humans fought with the demon children and then they both ganged up on and fought with the half demon children. Kagome quickly put a stop to it and explained to the children about a magnificent half-demon who helped save the world.
She had no idea where the story came from, but after the children realized how foolish they had been to fight amongst each other. From then on Kagome had been in charge of taking the children out to play, or telling them stories while the adults of the village and Akina worked.
Akina watched smiling at the girl who so affectionately cared for the children, she and the young priestess had developed quite a friendship, and she was happy to see the more she interacted with the children the more she was able to recall about her life even if she did not realize it yet.
Another month moved quickly spring had arrived and the village was going to celebrate with a feast, the children were going to put on a small show for everyone. Everyone in the village was content and they could not wait for the evening's festivities.
Two months two fucking months had passed and he hated it, he hated himself, he hated the world, he just wanted to die. But he couldn't, the day Ayame had told them of Kagome's tragic end he fled, he was ready to die, because in his heart he had felt it, he had felt her slip from the world, and to one he could never reach. He left his group for three weeks, hunting down and killing demon after demon hoping one would end his life, then one night he felt it. It was the spark of life, the bond he had with Kagome it was there he could feel it.
He could feel it move his soul, she was alive, and he wanted so desperately to find her, to see her, to hold her and to never ever let her go. Now that he knew she was alive he would be damned if any other person or demon in the world would take her from him.
He reunited with his pack and explained to them everything, he saw the look in their eyes, they believed he had lost it but he hadn't he was as sane and alert as he ever could be. They humored him though and decided they would follow him to the ends of the earth if it meant getting Kagome back. But it had been two months two horrible lonely grueling months. There was no trace of her anywhere, no rumors of a wandering priestess, and no rumors of a void soulless human wandering forests. There was nothing, his pack was tired, his brother grew restless, they were out of food and the hunt had become scarce, they were also out of supplies.
They got lucky when they had been traveling along a river; they found some human villagers who were kind enough to approach Inuyasha and his pack without hostility. They spoke of their village of the peacefulness of it and how they welcomed wayward travelers, humans, demons, and even half demons. This surprised them all, but they decided it would be nice to be in a village where they were welcomed.
They followed them to the village and were greeted by the smells of vast amounts of food, and the beautiful sight of decorations. The villagers explained their celebration to everyone and they were glad that they would have some time to relax. They were invited to stay in huts designated for travelers; it surprised everyone that even Sesshomaru decided to stay in the village.
Once everyone had settled in they went out and were led to the village leader to their surprise it was a demon.
"I welcome you to my village; it is so nice to see familiar faces." She said although many of them were confused by what the demon said. "Ah how you have grown Sesshomaru, I remember when you were but a pup running around wreaking havoc in the western lands." Sesshomaru stood still and said nothing to the demon.
"Oh and look if it is not little Rin it has been far too long since we last me." Akina said at which Sesshomaru growled and stood in front of her. "Do not be upset Sesshomaru you may not know this but I met Rin once a very long time ago when she was wondering in the forest, I directed her back home but I see she did not listen." At this Rin covered her mouth as her memory flashed back to a time when she was very young.
"Oh and look if it's not Miroku the Priest, I have never met you this is true but I met you father and your mother and they both were beautifully tragic, I hope the same fate does not befall you and your young demon slayer." This comment caused Sango to Blush and Miroku to contemplate.
"The Priestess Kikyo freed from her chains of death, I see that life suits you far better." Kikyo did not respond instead she looked away.
Akina laughed and turned to the wolf prince and princess "How tragic the both of you, Koga I know your father taught you better, but of course boys will be boys I suppose. Ayame it has been what five years since I saw you last, and look at you now mature, beautiful, and yet still broken."
"Akina it is a pleasure to see you again." Ayame said with a bow, receiving a slight bow of the head from Akina.
"And last but not least the pup and his kit. You are lost my boy very lost, but maybe you shall find what it is you have lost, sooner than you think." Inuyasha growled.
Akina laughed again "please do get comfortable, the festivities for tonight are going to be even better than I expected. Oh and Inuyasha please refrain from breaking anything in the village if you must stake your claim do it in the forest away from my sensitive nose."
They watched her leave "What the fuck was that stupid wench talking about, staking claims, she is an idiot" Inuyasha spat.
A small human child came up to the group and looked at Inuyasha covering his mouth "You're in trouble mister" The kid said causing everyone in the group to laugh.
"And why am I in trouble you little brat?" Inuyasha asked irritated with the small child.
"Because you're not supposed to say bad word nope that's what she said," The child continued his face tinged red with anger.
"And who said this? Whoever it is guess what they are not the boss of me. SO go back to you mother kid." Inuyasha said turning around.
"But Kagome-onee-chan said not to say words like that you have to apologize "Inuyasha stopped immediately his eyes flashing between red and gold, the little kid stood their unafraid.
Rin moved quickly kneeling in front of the child "Onii-chan can you please take us to your Kagome-onee-chan?" Rin asked sweetly the little boy blushed and nodded. Sesshomaru watched the interaction and smiled his Rin would make a great mother one day.
They followed the little boy when they heard voices singing mostly off key. They saw someone kneeling in front of the children in a pink Kimono decorated with butterflies. The little boy ran over to the girl in the kimono.
"Kagome-onee-chan that man over their said lots of bad words right in front of me, and he won't apologize." The little boy said in a sing song voice.
Everyone that stood behind them was silent; they could not move could not breathe. They waited, until the girl spoke it was like music to their ears.
"Akito-chan don't worry he will apologize." She said as she stood up, she turned around and looked at the group of people who were standing behind her; they looked as if they had seen a ghost. "Which one was is Akito-chan?" Kagome asked her voice sweet, her dark brown eyes ablaze.
"That one with the puppy ears." Kagome looked up Gold Clashed with Brown. Kagome's heart raced she did not know why, all she knew was that she knew those eyes, she had seen them before.
Inuyasha couldn't move he couldn't believe it; there she was alive, so full of life her cheeks dusted red from her apparent anger, her brown eyes set on him a look to kill, the kimono wrapped around her lithe figure so gracefully. He could not speak, he forgot how to form words, he could not move, he forgot how to work his body. He stood there like an idiot while she marched straight up to him and poked him in the chest. "Who do you think you are coming into our village and using your foul vocabulary in front of the children?" She said each word a poke to his chest.
He gave a toothy smirk, yep this was his Kagome, he pulled her towards him, and she yelped in surprise, he inhaled deeply her cherry blossom and vanilla scent before pulling back and crashing his lips to hers.
Maybe I should have named this chapter reunited and it feels so good. Lol
