A New Beginning
(Chapter 33)
Start of the Chain
Last time:
Mika finds Luna and also finds out Kinomi might be the one that separated her and Koro. Now its her human night and she wants to get some payback.
On with the chapter:
It was hard to believe that it was still there. Mika didn't hesitate when she put the head band on. All of a sudden a burst of energy went threw her. It felt like he was there again. Yes it felt like that when the necklace started glowing but it was stronger now. "Ah man I'm turning into an emotional whack!" she yelled in her head. It really did feel her whole soul was back, she didn't know why Koro wasn't back. Besides the fact energy was going threw her like wild fire.
She closed the box again and put in her pocket. She started walking back to were Akira was. She needed to talk to him and see what he knew about what Kinomi had been saying. She was the cause of this she was dead. She ran the rest of the way. She got to the door and knocked once.
"What is it Mika?" Akira asked
"I need to ask you something." Mika said
"Ok come on in." Akira said
She went in and sat down. "Hey Akira you remember Kinomi right? Well Luna has told me she has been telling people she's the one that almost killed me and the one that sent the demon after us and sent Koro to who knows were. You know if its true?" Mika asked
"Mika I can tell you first hand she has bragged about it. I have heard her tell others and they are laughing and it." Azarni said
"That little.. she is going to die for what she's put me threw!" Mika yelled
"Mika we know you want revenge but here is not the best place. Your not even sure if its true or not." Akira said
"I can bet she's the one that has made my life a living hell and also the one that took the person that meant most to me!" Mika yelled and ran out. Akira was about to go after her but Azarni stopped him.
"Let me handle this." she said and went after her. Azarni was close behind her when Mika suddenly stopped.
"Mika are you ok?" Azarni asked
"No Im not ok and never will be either." Mika said
"Look I know you want to kill Kinloser more then anyone but you have to hold back for now." Azarni said. Mika looked at her with a weird look. Mika didn't think people like her talk like that.
"What?"
"Never thought you would talk like that." Mika laughed
"I always act different around Akira. Just letting you know he acts different too."
"Yeah I guessed that much." Mika said
"Now look I know you probably want to get some payback but if you do, don't hurt anyone to bad and if Kinomi dose come around kill her in the forest ok." Azarni said
"You got it. Thanks." Mika said
"No problem. See you later." Azarni said and started walking back.
"Speaking of payback I think I should pay someone a visit." Mika thought and ran off.
She snuck threw the forest on the sides looking for anyone she knew or in this case victims. Most of village was asleep but most of the people she was looking for was wide awake. She was about half way around and saw one of the most hated group of trouble makers, there leader none other then Cane. She was growling slightly when she heard them over talking.
"Hey man guess what I heard from Kinomi." one of the guys said
"What? She did the world a favor and killed scar?" Cane laughed
"No but Kinomi said she sent a demon after her and she was killed." the other guy said
"I would think she would get killed by a human." Cane mocked
"Who says I'm dead?" Mika growled and walked out of the bushes.
"Well, well scar is still alive." Cane laughed
"How about you shut you Cane." Mika growled
"You can't hurt Cane. Your only human now." one of the guys laughed
"You want to test that?" Mika growled
"Well scar since I don't see wolf around I'm guessing he's either dead or he left you." Cane mocked
That's what set Mika off. In a flash every guy was down and Cane was being held up 3 feet in the air but the front of his shirt.
"Now look here if you bring up Koro again like that I will kill you. Oh yeah and if you don't tell me were Kinomi is I will hurt you worse then you already are." Mika growled
"I'm not telling you were she is." Cane yelled
"Fine." Mika growled and hit him in the face giving him a black eye and also knocked him out. She left them on the ground and she started walking back. That fight let out a little anger but still when Kinomi was dead she would be in heaven. She was about half way back when both the crystal and the other necklace started glowing and it wouldn't let up. Her demon sprit knew something and so did the small part of Koro's soul but she didn't know what. She couldn't go out and search like she was and she didn't even know what it meant. So she ignored it and started walking back not know what the glowing meant. (Please people try to guess what it means.)
The night went by slow and it was getting on a few half demons nerves. The sun would be up in about 3 hours and that was still to long. Mika was replaying memories in her head, most of them from the when Koro still was around and after he disappeared remembering all the training she had done. Questions racing threw her head. She was trying to connect anything to might say Kinomi really did do these things. She wanted to hurt her anyway but this was on a totally different scale. If she did she will die slowly. "And she will die by my hands." Mika thought. One thing no one ever did was mess with her friends or in this case Koro and make her think he was dead for 7 years and get away with it!
"No one messes with my mate and gets away with it!" "He's not even my mate!" "He probably would think Im a freak anyway." "You know that's a lie!" "You know we're a freak anyway." "As long as he comes back I don't care." "Oh stop lying to yourself and get over it!" "Feh" "When we find him and he dose stay then I will stop." "Fine."
"Either way Kinomi is going to die. I will rip her heart out! Let her know how it feels to have her heart ripped out." Mika growled
"Child I sense something is wrong." Midoriko said
"If your soul has been in me since I was young then you would remember Koro." Mika replied
"The young half-wolf demon?"
"Yeah."
"I see now. Your afraid that he will put you in the same place so many others already have. You do not care of what the others say but he is special. Am I right?"
"If you share my body you should know."
"You don't want to be placed as what others say by him. You want to be his and stay by his side for eternity. Be in his arms. To be the one to heal his battle wounds as well as the wounds of his heart. Help him in battle, protect him. Fight off his fears. You want to be the one he cares for, the one he loves. Those nights when he stayed by you, held you, cared for you, you felt complete. You want to be loved by him and no other. Am I right?"
"Yes ok! Your right on everything and there more then that! When I thought he died my heart was ripped out, dead! I was ready to kill myself to be with him! I was close to dying so many times, but something kept me from it! Now I know why he wasn't dead and the small part of his soul I have kept me from dying."
"Do not fear Mika. Listen to your heart and it will turn out fine."
"Yeah right." Mika said and the conversation ended there. Mika's mind was made up as soon as Kiba and Sakura got up they were out of here. She was still thinking on what Midoriko said and was still playing past events in her head. She totally lost track of time and by the time she noticed the sun was rising. She was back to her half demon self and energy was still going threw her like crazy.
(A little later that morning) (7 a.m.)
Mika was up in a tree still in her own world when she heard Sakura and Kiba coming. She looked down and Sakura and Kiba were waiting for her under the tree. "Hey Sakura, hey Kiba." She said
"Morning mommy." Sakura said
"So you guys ready to start heading back?" Mika asked
"Yeah." Sakura said jumping up and down.
"Ok then lets say bye to the others and get going." Mika said and jumped down from the tree. Sakura jumped on Kiba's back and they went and said there good-byes and left.
(With Inuyasha and the others)
The sun was up and everyone was doing something. Kagome was helping Sango. The others, who knew. Inuyasha leaning against a tree and he had caught the scent of someone he didn't want to see. He ignored it for now not wanting to start anything. Few moments later there was a crash in the forest, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in the area. Shippo started growling and so did Kagome.
"What is it Shippo?" Kimsune asked
"It's the dirt bag." he growled. Tsume, Kirara, and Shadow transformed and ran into the forest.
"Sango what's going on?" Kohaku asked
"It's Kikyo again." Sango said. With that the others took off following Shadow and the others. None of them knowing a certain flee was there as well and for once was going to do some good. When they got there they saw a barrier. As soon as they got threw anyone who wasn't demon or half demon was paralyzed.
"Sango! Miroku! Koahku! Are you guys all right?" Kagome asked
"We'll be fine get Kikyo." Sango said
"Right." Kagome said and caught up with Inuyasha. That's when she sensed the jewel shards. "Inuyasha. Kikyo, she has 10 jewel shards!" Kagome said
"What!" He yelled
"She has ten jewel shards!" Kagome said again
"It doesn't matter we can still beat her." Shippo said. They ran a little farther when they ran into her. They also saw Shadow, Kirara, and Tsume passed out and bloody.
"Why Inuyasha you came." Kikyo said
"Cut it bitch." Inuyasha growled
"You will regret that Inuyasha." Kikyo spat. With out anyone seeing Kimsune went for the attack. "Take this Kikwhore!" Kimsune yelled and took a shoot aiming for her head. She never hit. Before she could react a arrow was threw her shoulder. She skid back were Shadow was. Shippo ran over to her. "Kimsune! Are you ok?" he asked
"I'll be fine." She said snapping the arrow in half and taking it out.
Inuyasha drew his sword and was getting ready for anything and to protect Kagome. Kagome started off the attack and it all went from there. A little later the whole thing wasn't doing so good. Shippo and Kimsune were tied to a tree by the soul stealers. Inuyasha and a whole threw his stomach. Kagome had passed out due to the stress of the battle. Being pregnant wasn't a good thing when your in a fight and the jewel shards increased her power 10x over. Kikyo was ready to take Inuyasha to hell before some one cut her off.
"Back off dirt bag." Tora growled
"Yeah or we will finish you off this time." Iva yelled
"I don't think so." Kikyo mocked
The whole thing just got worse. The barrier started to drain their demonic energy and it was working. There swords wouldn't use there normal attacks and the tetsusaiga changed back into its normal state.
"Oh no I must find Master Mika!" Myoga thought and hopped off and landed on a crow.
"Fly you stupid bird!" Myoga yelled and it took off.
(With Mika)
She wasn't in as much as a rush this time. She more to herself and not talking as much. Sakura kept on asking about the headband Mika just said it was from a friend and left in at that. They were running threw the forest Sakura with Kiba Mika a little up ahead.
Myoga was still looking for her when he saw her. "There she is. Down you stupid bird!" he yelled he jumped off the bird landed on Kiba and jumped over to Mika.
"Master Mika!" he yelled. She stopped dead and looked over. "Myoga?" she asked
"Master Mika you must hurry back Inuyasha and the others are in trouble!" he said
"What's going on? Is Naraku attacking or something?" Mika asked
"No. It is the dead wench Kikyo! She has ten shards of the jewel and the others are losing!" he cried
"Shit." Mika cursed "Kiba lets get going." Mika said and they took off. Myoga barely holding on. "Kiba when we get there stay with Kaede got it and watch Sakura." Mika said Kiba growled back to say ok. They were going as fast as possible. She had her mind set on the jewel shards which she sensed and was hopefully going to be able to use the new power she had.
"Myoga how in the hell are the others losing!" Mika yelled
"There is a barrier that is draining the demon strength and humans can not get passed the barrier. I have never seen the likes of it." Myoga said
"So the dirt bag is having help. No one can make two barriers like that." Mika said
"That what I was thinking. I did sense another person in the area." Myoga said
"Demon? Human?"
"Human and I sensed a dark energy coming from it. It is the one I think is making the barrier that's weakening anyone who's half demon." Myoga said
"I will still beat whoever it is." Mika laughed
"Be careful Mika this will be a challenge."
"Feh whatever I have been threw worse." Mika said
After running for about another 30 minutes they got to the village. "Sakura stay here I will be right back." Mika said and took off again. She didn't give room for argument. She was about half way there and she saw Sango, Miroku, and Kohaku.
"You guys ok?" she asked
"Yeah but Im not so sure about the others." Miroku said
"Stand back I will break this barrier down." Mika saw and drew her sword, blue swirls went and it and she slashed threw the barrier easily taking it down. "Look Miroku there's another barrier up a head find were the energy is coming from." Mika said
"How do you know this already?" Sango asked
"Myoga came and found me. And told me what was going on." Mika said "Im going a head. You guys try to find were the other barrier is coming from"
"Right." Miroku said and he lead the way to were he sensed the energy.
She ran threw the one barrier and she felt herself weaken. She ignored it, she jumped the rest of the way landing in front of Inuyasha and Kagome just when to arrows were about to hit them. She caught the two arrows between her fingers and broke them in half.
"Mika?" Inuyasha asked
"Yeah its me. Now you get Kagome out of here."
"Im not going to let you fight on your own." Inuyasha yelled
"I said go now. I don't want you or sis to get hurt. This barrier is hurting you and Kagome more then me. Being half miko it doesn't effect me as much. With Kagome pregnant she had more demon then human. Now get her out of here now!" Mika yelled
Inuyasha didn't argue this time and got Kagome on his back and ran off. Mika saw how bad the others were hurt and wanted to get this over quick. She also felt another energy that she was sure she felt before.
"So you interfere again." Kikyo spat
"Yeah so. You need to die anyway." Mika growled
"You can not when this time half breed." Kikyo laughed
"How about you cut the act and bring out your friend." Mika spat
"I guess you aren't that clueless. My friend is taking care of your other friends." Kikyo laughed. Mika had heard enough her claws started glowing a black, purple color and five blades came. It wasn't supposed to hit Kikyo yet just a warning. It slightly cut the side of her face and destroyed the tree next to it.
"Nice aim scar." Kikyo laughed. Mika froze for a second. How did she know that nickname! Kinomi made it up and no one used it any more. How did she know it!
"How did you know that name?" Mika growled
"Wouldn't you like to know." Kikyo laughed and her arms turned into vines. The ground started shacking and very sharp rocks came from the ground. Mika didn't have time to move out of the way. She got a long gash on her side, arm and leg. She jumped off the side of one of them and landed up in a tree.
"You couldn't beat me before and you can't now." Kikyo laughed
"The one thing a person doesn't do with me is underestimate me." Mika growled and she drew her sword again. Her first job get her friends out of here.
"Try this. SHADOW RAZOR!" The attack hit the ground the dust blocking Kikyo's vision. With that done she got Shippo and Kimsune first and put down outside the barrier. Then Iva and Tora. Finally she grabbed the now smaller Shadow, Kirara, and Tsume. They were on the other side and the dust started clearing up. Mika stood ready, she knew Inuyasha would be back sooner or later until then she had to hold her off.
"You should worry about yourself not your worthless friends." Kikyo said and a arrow was pointed at Mika's heart. She released the arrow and Mika dodged it but then another arrow came from the forest cutting the side of her neck. It burned more then a normal cut and she sensed the same dark energy coming from it.
"Damn." Mika cursed.
"You will die this time." Kikyo hissed and she shot another arrow she jumped it but then something came from behind. Mika was soon on the ground an great pain went threw her. Another arrow hit her but this time it went threw her. The arrow was coming threw her shoulder close to her heart. Blood was all over the arrowhead she also something black on it. It didn't look like any kind of poison though. She ripped the arrow out of her shoulder making the wound worse and the bleeding increased. Mika grabbed on to her shoulder trying to slow down the bleeding but it didn't work. Blood was going threw her fingers and running down her arm.
"Looks like your going to kill yourself." Kikyo laughed
"Shut up bitch." Mika growled. Mika couldn't sense when those arrows before they hit. If she didn't know when they were going to hit or were they were coming from. "How about you fight me head on! Or are you that weak." Mika laughed and then saw the shards. She also saw that the shards weren't even real. "Nice try Kikyo. You don't have any real shards. Those are fakes." Mika laughed
"How did you know I had them?" Kikyo spat
"None of your business." Mika growled. Soon Kikyo was shooting arrows none stop and Mika was dodging all of them. "Nice aim see if you can doge this. SHADOW RAZOR!" Mika yelled but this time she did two at the same time. The blades went racing for there target leaving dust behind. A lot of Mika's energy was put into the attack and she was hoping it would hit. When it was about it hit, what look like black daggers came right at Mika. By the time she saw them she wouldn't be able to move out of the way. They went right threw her leaving gashes every were, arms, legs, stomach, chest, and one went threw her neck leaving a whole in its place. Some how it missed the major veins and she was still alive. The impact sent her back hitting a tree and turning it into splinters.
The attack that Mika sent at Kikyo hit but didn't do much damage. Kikyo had put up a barrier to stop the attack half way. She had a few cuts but that's about it but they healed up in a matter of seconds. Mika was trying to get up she figured out what the black stuff was. It was a mix of herbs that slowed demons healing to normal rate. One dagger was still stuck in her arm and was burning like hell. She grabbed it and threw it to the side.
"Give up yet?" Kikyo laughed
"Im not losing to you whore." Mika spat out of no were two more arrows come out of no were. It gave her a gash a little under the headband and the other missed slightly hitting her. "That's it! Your die now! SHADOW RAGE!" Mika yelled with the attack released Kikyo pulled out a mirror like Kanna's. Mika had an idea of what was coming and made a barrier. When the attack hit it was sent right back at her. When the attack hit the barrier broke and hit her head on. Only thing that kept her from dying was her will at this point. She wouldn't die that easily. Then she had an idea. When she was able to get up was walked up to Kikyo, who had a arrow ready. She snuck a uppercut sending her back and also the mirror in midair. She jumped out of the way and a arrow came zooming out hitting the mirror and shattering it. She landed and almost passed out then.
"You will pay for that." Kikyo yelled
"You shouldn't have been so obvious." Mika laughed no matter how hard she hide it she was weak at this point. She could barley stand she used her sword to hold her up. Kikyo still had an evil smile on her face. Vines shot up from the ground and wrapped around her wrists and ankles. She was now tied to a tree her sword in the ground and she couldn't move. Blood still flowing and the wound on her back was hurt worse from the hard impact.
"Kikyo if your going to kill me do it now. Everyone would be better off anyway." Mika said hanging her head. Then another vine came out and wrapped around her neck to make he look at Kikyo.
"I want you to see who is going to kill you because it isn't me." Kikyo laughed and a person in all black. She couldn't see the face and there scent was covered. Whoever it was had a staff in hand and bow and arrows on her back.
"I guess you might want to know who your killer is right scar?"
Mika knew it was a girl that was changing her voice. Then it hit her like a ton of bricks.
"You little bitch! It is you! Show your real face Kinomi!" Mika yelled
"I guess you aren't as stupid as you look." Kinomi laughed removing the robe. She looked like Kikyo. Mika could barley contain her anger. The demon in her was coming out but if she did that now she would die.
"You are going to pay for what's happen to me! You have caused my pain for the past 7 years! You took Koro away from me didn't you!" Mika yelled
"Since your going to die I wouldn't see the harm in telling you. I did." Kinomi laughed. That was it Mika snapped her eyes turned red and her miko powers went whack. The vines were gone and she was free. She had some control of her demon side but not much. Her eyes were set on Kinomi.
"You will pay for what you have caused me and you will pay with your life. I will rip your heart out!" Mika growled in a much darker voice. Kinomi and Kikyo backed off and a look of horror was on there face. An evil smirk went across Mika's face.
"So I guess your afraid of me now? You haven't learned the meaning of fear, yet." Mika laughed sending a chill down anyone's spine. A mist came around the area they could now only see the shadow figurer out the now demon Mika. Kikyo and Kinomi were back to back and the figure disappeared.
"Were she go?" Kinomi asked
"I don't know." Kikyo said
"You looking for me?" Mika asked. She was over them on a branch. A blood droplet landed on Kinomi. Both of them knew she would pass out sooner or later of blood loss. One more attack and she would pass out. Kinomi had a better idea. Her staff started glowing on top and a black energy ball was forming. Kinomi jumped back and released the energy ball and Kikyo released her arrow. When the two combined an explosion came. Mika was blown back and she changed back to normal. Kikyo and Kinomi took the chance and ran. Mika was passed out, wounds still bleeding and she was as close to death as she ever was. She now had a small gash over her eye and was burned pretty bad also she had another arrow going threw her leg..
She was conscious within a few moments and grabbed on to her sword for support. She stood up and was pretty shaky. She looked up at the sky and it was dark and cloudy and it got a lot colder. It had been weird for the past few months it was supposed to still be winter but its been like spring, until now. She knew snow was going to fall at this point though she didn't really care. "I lost to Kikyo and Kinomi. I might as well be dead. I can't beat them I can't be any help." Mika thought. As she thought that the first snowflakes fell. She started walking back using her sword to help. She was lucky was wasn't unconscious let alone walking at all. The poison wouldn't let her heal like she usually would. It would take as long as a human would and that wasn't good. Some wounds still slightly bleeding.
She had guessed the others went back to take care of the others. Inuyasha wouldn't leave Kagome side. Miroku, Sango, and Kohaku probably are helping the others and Iva and Tora were still unconscious. By the time she was about half of the way there snow was falling pretty fast and a thin covering was on the ground. Every step Mika took left a bloody foot print behind. She really didn't want to go back, she lost and lost control. She was looking at the ground the whole time. She couldn't see out of one eye and both her legs were pretty bad too. She was half way there and she collapsed.
(With the others)
Sango, Miroku, and Kohaku had returned to Kaede's to help the others. Inuyasha was by Kagome and Sakura and Kiba were helping Tora and Iva. The sun was setting and it started snowing. Sakura fell asleep and the others had just noticed Mika had been gone a lot longer then normal. It was dark now and it was still snowing.
"Sango do you think we should look for Mika? She's been gone for a long time." Miroku said
"We wouldn't be able to find anything in this." Sango said
"Me and Kiba can go and find her." Kohaku said
"No. She's probably fine." Inuyasha said
"Inuyasha aren't ye worried? After all ye said my sister had 10 jewel shards." Kaede said
"She is right Inuyasha." Miroku said. Then they heard someone getting up. "What happen?" Tora asked
"It was Kikyo again." Sango said
"Ah not again." Tora growled and she looked over and saw Sakura. "Hey wait were's Mika?" she asked
"She hasn't come back yet. She saved us and she hasn't come back." Sango said
"Shit! I'm going to look for her. She never takes this long in battle she's either hurt or dead!" Tora yelled and ran out.
"I hope she's ok." Sango said
Tora ran threw the forest looking for her sister. She smelt her blood and a lot of it. She was almost half way to were the battle field was and saw something up ahead lightly covered in snow and red all around it.
"Holy shit!" Tora thought and ran over to it. It was Mika and she was hurt bad. But Tora also saw something she thought she would never see again. She ignored it at this point and started to dig her out. She got Mika on her back and started walking back.
"Well sis I guess you finally came back." Tora said but she wasn't expecting a answer
"I'm not back yet." Mika said
"Hey sis what happen to you?" Tora asked
"I lost what else." Mika said
"There had to be more then one person. Now who was the second?" Tora asked
"It was..it was Kinomi." Mika growled. Tora froze on the spot. "You mean Kinomi the bitch!" Tora asked
"Yeah her." Mika said
"She's with Kikyo now." Tora said
"Yeah and she is going to die for what she did." Mika growled
"What else did she do?" Tora asked
"She's the one that almost killed me and the one that separated me and Koro." Mika growled.
"She's going down. Hey wait Im judging from the headband you came to terms that Koro isn't dead?" Tora asked
"Yeah I came to terms and Im going to find him." Mika said and passed out again. "You need rest sis." Tora thought and ran the rest of the way back. She got to the front of the hut and went in. Everyone flinched even Inuyasha.
"What happen to her?" Sango asked
"I don't know." Tora said
"Take her in the back child I need to cover up her wounds." Kaede said. Tora did and Sakura woke up and saw Mika like she was.
"What happen?" Sakura asked
"Mika got hurt but don't worry she will be fine." Tora said and set Mika down in the back and walked back. Kaede went in and started to try and heal her.
