(3) hello for whoever reads this fanfic I have come to disclaim this InuYasha anime. Sadly only Rumiko owns it. But onward to the next chapter (special thanks to MisakiTheHanyou67 and Darkhottie06)
Chapter 3- Kirara and Kagura
"R-RUN!" Miroku shouted as something large came bursting through the bushes. Kagome's eyes widened in horror of what was in front of her.
A large Tiger like creature was standing before her. It was rather beautiful, but scary all the while. A fire emblazing within' her as well as on her body went rather well with the sunny yellow pelt that bathed her. Black glittering fur was blanketing her paws, ears, and a diamond shaped figure on the creature's head. Twin tails twisting and hugging each other black stripes on the tails too. But, the scariest features were perhaps the long canine-like fangs showing through her still mouth that came with matching claws; she was ready to shred and rip her enemies at any time.
The creature; she was guessing known as Kirara, was now flying through the air bounding towards Kagome claws unsheathed, fangs bared.
Kagome started to run because Kirara was chasing down her. The mighty Kirara was flying, rider less, to attack Kagome. Leaping in the air Kirara's claws were barely 3 feet from Kagome's head. The now panicked Kagome ran even faster gasping for any possible air her lungs could grasp.
Wait a second. Why am I running? This is my dream. Any second I can wake up because the dreams can't hurt me.
Kagome was now a good 5 meters away from Kirara when she stopped dead in her tracks, turned quickly with a justified look on her face and said-
"This is all a dream. I'll wake up and you can't hurt me."
Unfortunately for Kagome-sama Kirara caught up with her; and with a blinding light blood splattered over Kagome's face. She was clearly in shock for a long mark of three claws streaked across her arm scarlet with blood with skin torn against the wound making it sting like the fiery rapids of hell.
"AIYAAA!"
Kirara was about to land the finishing blow when Sango came to Kagome's rescue. Sango pulled out the large boomerang blocking the large and now bloody set of claws. Sango pushed the now infuriated Kirara, backwards with her large boomerang.
"Hiraikotsu!" She shouted while throwing the boomerang. Kagome could have sworn she saw Sango shed a tear as Sango did her work.
Another flash of scarlet and possibly some purple were drifting by in a liquid substance. This is….Blood.
A fang flew into the air only to be caught by Sango. Sango then picked Kagome up and carried her piggyback style.
"We don't have much time!"
"Sango! Are you alright?"
"I-i'm fine."
Sango was running at an incredible speed. Possibly because she is part animal. Part cat if I do say so myself.
Kagome's wound was opening. A mass of blood trickled down her arm as the air whooshing past was biting at it.
"Are you alright Kagome?"
"Thanks, I think i'll be alright."
"Sorry, I should have came sooner."
"No, it was my fault for stopping instead of running."
Sango continued to run in silence. After a while Kagome decided to break the silence. Hoping that she might get a clue to why she didn't wake up.
"Odd enough, I didn't wake up."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well this is my dream. I should be able to chose when I wake up. The reason why I got this nasty cut."
"A dream? This is real. And the whole reason we got attacked was because of that bitch, the red queen."
Kagome decided t drop the subject of this being a dream, for now. Instead she decided to point the conversation in another direction.
"The Red queen? Who's that?"
Some whore who made this land evil. The reason why you are here. You gotta defeat her."
"Wait hold the phone, I thought I wasn't the real Kagome according to Byakuya."
"Well that doesn't matter. I think you are the real Kagome."
"Okay, but even so how would I beat the red queen?"
"You slay her ultimate weapon; the JabberWocky."
"Sounds easier said than done!"
Sango then set her down on a log.
"Well, any way Kagome try not to get killed, eaten, or captured by the red queen or anything else. I have to go do my job."
"Wait! How do I know if the creature's work for the red queen or not?!"
"Easy. They are dressed in red and black."
"Oh."
"Bye now!" sango said and like that she leapt into the air and out of sight, leaving Kagome alone and possibly in danger...
Kagome had been wandering around for a while now. Her orchid dress was now streaked with black and gray; the colors of dust and dirt.
Staying out of trouble will be hard. It is already.
Earlier that day Kagme ran into some weird card people whom she had just narrowly escaped. The card people were wearing black and red, they had cards for bodies, and they walked around with spears.
She also had an encounter with some talking flowers who had insulted her and said she was a fake Kagome.
Kagome stopped abruptly. She looked into a puddle and saw fast moving ripples. She felt vibrations on the ground. something was bi and it was coming. Kagome tried to run but, tripped and opened her wound. Blood coming down her arm the dried blood now covered in wet and fresh blood was aching for treatment. The wind howled and then there was a booming voice.
"WHO ARE YOU?"said the voice.
The voice was from a female. The feminine touch in the voice could not be mistaken.
"I-Im Kagome." Kagome tried to sound as calm as possible but, that was very hard to do so when you were scared as hell.
"KAGOME? YOU PLAN ON DEFEATING THE RED QUEEN DON'T YA?"
"Um...possibly?"
There was a pop and a wave of relief washed over her to see a beautiful woman in a kimono. The kimono was snow white with cherry blossoms on it. The woman was beautiful with ruby red eyes and her dark hair pinned up. she floated in the air with ease. Two cat ears popped up from her hair and a tail from where her backside was.
"Well, good. Because I am tired of that bitch's shit." she said rather calmly.
"The Name's Kagura the 'Chesire cat'." She gave Kagome a very toothy grin. This grin sent a shiver down Kagome's spine.
"So you are Kagome? The Kagome?" Kagura continued.
"Supposed to be." Kagome had an odd but trusting feeling about this Kagura.
Kagura's eyes examined Kagome and stopped at the sight of 'Kirara's souveneir' to Kagome.
"Youch. What the hell happened here?"
"Kirara."
"Oh wow, you should heal this. If you don't it's gonna cause some serious shit later."
"This is just a dream, so I'll wake up son enough and it will be gone."
Kagura took out a strip of linen cloth.
"Well at least let me bandage that for you."
Kagura immediately started bandaging Kagome's wounded arm. This somewhat felt better. After bandaging Kagura helped Kagome to her feet and they began walking side by side.
"You know Kagome, Kirara wasn't always bad. In fact this world wasn't always bad."
"Eh?!"
"Shocker right? Well once upon a time, in the reign of the white King and Queen-"
"there are more queens?!"
"Yes sweetheart. King Sesshomaru and his lovely Queen Rin. I am good friends of theirs. Anyway...during their reign they were good rulers of the land and everyone was happy dappy and shit. The bitch Kikyo is the red queen; she was Rin's cousin. She got jealous of Rin like the slut she is and made a creature beyond all imagine; the JabberWocky."
Kagome walked on with Kagura. The moonlight being the only source of light in the dark world.
"She used this JabberWocky known as Naraku, against us. She burned the forests and forced us to live in a solitude,hidden away from the rest of the world, in isolation. She took over the kingdom, and became a cruel queen. Us people who decided to stand up against Kikyo were raging on i battle. Sango's job is going and fighting every day. She hoped you would come. Any way, Kirara was Sango's best friend.
Kagura continud after a few minutes.
"One day Sango and Kirara got separated from each other. When they found each other they were quickly surrounded by Kikyo's soldiers. Kirara got captured because they were gonna kill Sango. But, when we saw Kirara again she was bad; she tried to attac us, even Sango."
Kagome's eyes widened at the story. To lose someone so close to you. It hurt.
