A\N Just to be clear that first chapter was really like a prologue. This is where the story truly starts but we'll get to that pretty soon. Just remember this is about the day before. PS I don't own Inuyasha. All legal rights go to the proper people. PPS This is my first story so feel free to leave reviews. Constructive criticism is always welcome On with the story...
We can never have just a normal day!
"Inuyasha! For the hundredth time can we please stop for a little while. We are all exhausted
"That's because you're all nothing but weak humans! We haven't even been walking that long. I'm not tired"
"You never are! We've been walking since the morning and the sun is going down. We are stopping for the night!"
"Keh, fine! You good for nothing weaklings"
"Lady Kagome, do you feel that aura?" Miroku asked
"I sense it too" If Sango can sense it it must be big
"Hmm?" I stop and feel, but not for long because it's very powerful, very big, and very close. "Miroku that's really strong, do you know what kind of demon it is"
"Keh none that we can't handle" Pulling out his sword Inuyasha waits for whoever it is to show
Slowly a man emerged from a break on the trees. Long black hair, tanned skin, and piercing red eyes, much like Naraku, and a smirk that just barely showed the tips of his fangs.
"Who the hell are you?" Inuyasha yelled at the unknown man.
"Dorijan. If you must know, I was sent by Naraku, but I'm not one of his little reincarnations or puppets. He hired me and I intend to get paid the amount he promised and more if I can drive you out of your mind" laughing Dorijan stared at me and waved.
Confused I just continued to stare at him wondering what he was up to and what exactly Naraku had hired him to do. So I decided to ask, "What exactly do you intend to do?"
"I intend to do exactly what I was sent here to do. And that is to drive you all out of your minds and make you reveal every secret you've ever kept from each other and everything you never wanted anyone to know about." As I stared at him with a face void of anything but fear, his grin grows to a full smile and he says, "Hmm, looks like little Kagome has some secrets to keep, haha, why don't we start with you"
"You won't lay a hand on her if I can help it" Inuyasha declared as he moved in front of me.
"With a wave of his hand Inuyasha and everyone else went flying backwards all slamming into trees and the ground. Vines wrapping around them holding them in place. I was left standing staring at him. I started to reach for my arrows only to realize they were gone as well. I look around at all my friends and start to run towards Inuyasha vines shoot out of the ground and grab my arms and legs keeping me in place.
"Now Kagome dear, we can either do this the easy way and you let me into your mind it the hard way and I force my way in."
"What exactly are you? Why do you need to get into my mind?"
"Because honey I'm a memory demon and I feed off the pain of the past and I can tell you had quite the experience" Stroking my face he whispered in my ear, "And I want a taste of it"
"Get away from her! You wait till I get out of these damn vines you're a dead man!" Inuyasha screamed from his prison of vines. But I knew it was no use. If he could subdue all my friends with just a wave of his hand he was a lot stronger than he was letting on… and that was scary.
"After a quick glance at Inuyasha he was back to staring at me and suddenly I started to feel a tug on my heart. Trying to call out and ask what he was doing I found I couldn't speak. Panic rose in me as I started to feel myself drifting away. 'No… I can't let him in I won't lose. They can't know…' I used my powers to put a barrier around myself. It pushed him back but I could still feel the tugging on my heart and mind.
"Lady Kagome you have to put a barrier around your mind as well or he'll still be able to get in!" Miroku you always know what to do.
I tried to erect a barrier around my mind but I was quickly losing the battle. I started seeing bits and pieces of my past flashing before me…
Blood… tears… gunshots… Him… 'No, no I'm not going back… I refuse to go through that again. I can't let them know… they'll never look at me the same…'I pushed as hard as I could and shoved him out. 'I did it' I sighed as he stepped back from my barrier.
"Did you really think that would stop me? I saw a glimpse of what's there and it looks delightful, I can't wait to have a proper taste" He laughed "Like I told you we could've done this the easy way or the hard way. You just choose the hard way" His entire body began to glow with some type of energy. When he raised his hands I could see a ball of it growing "Don't worry it won't hurt"
"Don't touch her!" Sango yelled, all of them still trying to break free.
"Your friends are so annoying. But they're going with you, so I can't really kill them *sigh* oh well" Pushing his hands out directly at me the ball of energy came flying towards my chest.
