Adventure, Romance, and Tragedy. Warning Character Death.
"Sesshomaru?" My mind was fuzzy as I saw the figure before me that resembled the great daiyoukai. "Where are we?"
"This Sesshomaru does not know miko. This one assumed you would know, as you are familiar with time travel."
"How did you know about that?"
"The well." I stared at him waiting for him to continue until it became obvious that was all he was planning on saying.
"What about my well?"
"It happens to be saturated in your scent. And as that is how we were forced into this place I assume you know how to leave."
I was so confused; nothing he was saying was making any sense. What did he mean the well took us somewhere? My eyes finally adjusted to our surroundings.
We were surrounded by a strange forest I had never seen, the greens were bright and vibrant with the sun shining through the leaves to softly illuminate the demon lord that towered over me. I was lying on my back on soft grass; I could feel my hair spread out around me. When I attempted to sit up I gasped in pain, my side was on fire my hands quickly cover the spot as I tried to see what happened.
"Stay as you are, as we fell the Shikon reentered your body. You may be unable to move for some time. So explain the well now."
"I jump between the era I was born in and the feudal era. This is not the time I come from and if it's not the feudal era then I don't know where we are, or more specifically when. Just jump back through the well, that's just how it works."
"Miko, the well is no longer here."
I shot straight up ignoring the pain searching for the well, my eyes widened when it was nowhere in sight. Shippo! My heart cried out for my kit. "Are you sure?" I wrenched myself up to stand so I could search for my only way back to him. "The only way it could be gone is if it was sealed! I didn't seal it, so who did?"
"Have you already forgotten the undead one with whom you share a soul?"
"Kikyo," I snarled. My memories from what had transpired before I blacked out raced back to me.
"Mama, the Lady Kikyo wanted me to ask you to meet her in the clearing by the well; she said it was important."
"Ok Shippo, I'll leave as soon as I finish dinner so you can eat."
"Thank you mama," Shippo bowed his little head towards me. I finished up and served myself and my kit, leaving a stack of bowls for whoever else came in later. I quickly scarfed down my meal and left for the clearing.
"I'll see you later little man." He giggled at me and said goodbye as well.
When I arrived at the small clearing it was empty so I sat on the edge of the well waiting for Kikyo. After ten minutes or so I heard a noise coming from behind me so I whipped my head around and the sound of clashing swords soon reached my ears and I ran towards the source. I caught a glimpse of a red haori as it flashed around faster than my eyes could follow, and in the center of the red maelstrom was Sesshomaru who was just barely moving his sword to dodge the one that flashed out at him. His movements looked effortless and it took my breath away until I noticed the red figure had stopped and I realized that it was Inuyasha; and he had lost control.
Inuyasha's eyes had turned red and jagged violet stripes had appeared on his cheeks that were a poor imitation of Sesshomaru's. He was enraged, but why?
I ran in to intercept him and grabbed Inuyasha around his waist. I couldn't understand, he was using Tetsusaiga, how was it even possible for him to change? I felt Inuyasha's nails dig into my sides and I winced in pain. "Inu, calm down; everything is ok Inuyasha." I attempted to soothe him but his nails only dug deeper into my skin causing me to cry out in pain. Inuyasha's nails were suddenly wrenched out of my skin as I was pulled away from him.
Snarls echoed throughout the small clearing as Sesshomaru's fingers wrapped around his neck. Inuyasha's arms flailed around as he tried to find purchase against his powerful arms after a few moments I broke out of my shock and held the bleeding gashes that covered my arms. I didn't know what to do though at this point.
Suddenly a blue reiki explosion went off between the brothers and Sesshomaru was blown backwards towards the clearing with the well. As I turned back to see Inuyasha I realized I was his next target so I raced backwards toward the clearing as well, I couldn't escape down the well because Inuyasha could follow me easily and that would put my whole family in danger. Here I had a slightly better chance of survival with Sango and Miroku somewhere nearby; hopefully they had heard that explosion and were coming. Kamisama I hoped so.
I was backed up to the well as Inuyasha came at me suddenly Sesshomaru appeared in front of me seemingly to protect me. Then I realized that Kikyo was nearby; after all she just created that explosion, so why wasn't she doing anything? A chanting began, at first it was barely higher than a whisper but it soon became a thundering on the wind. A malevolent feeling accompanied the chanting of words that were laced with magic.
My heart froze in terror as I heard a voice call out to me. "MAMA!" I saw Shippo on the edge of the clearing, Sango and Miroku were racing towards him but they were too far away, the familiar twang of a bow accompanied my tortured scream as I saw the blue arrow hurtle towards my little Shippo, I sent a barrier to surround him but I was too late; my barrier surrounded his pierced body, blood came from the corner of his mouth as he choked. I could do anything as he collapsed.
I stood in shock as everything around me started happening in slow motion, blue reiki shot towards myself and Sesshomaru making us fall into the well. instead of the myriad of colors this time our travel was pure darkness and from that darkness glowing pink Shikon shards shot towards me, completing the jewel and burrowing it deep inside my body. I finally found my voice as I screamed for my little kit, "SHIPPO!"
Soon after that the pain from the jewel's reentry and the pain in my heart had me blacking out into blissful silence.
Tears ran down my face as the image of Shippo falling ran through my mind over and over. Sesshomaru quickly covered his ears as my wailing began, my mourning for my lost baby. He was supposed to outlive me, he was a demon; he would have still been young when I was born in my time if it weren't for her.
"Kikyo," I snarled again, the tears still flowed down my cheeks but my grief had quickly evolved into hatred. This was unforgivable; if I ever caught even the slightest glimpse of her I would have no problem destroying her. I would never forgive and I could never forget.
Hey guys sorry this first chapter is so dark but I warned you with the tragedy bit in the summary and the character death warning. Not exactly sure everything that is going to happen with this but I do have quite few ideas about where I want to get to so Hopefully I will be able to finish this before winter break otherwise it will be awhile between updates.
Until next time,
