Greetings and welcome to Blind Truth chapter one. I am your host and fan fiction author Midnight. I did not change many things in the first chapter and you know what it is about so I will not keep you here long. I do not own InuYasha and I do not own any other characters participated in the anime InuYasha. Enjoy the first chapter.
It was a gloomy day in Feudal Japan. The sun was hidden by the grey clouds that were hidden by the black clouds. The grey clouds blocked out the light of the sun as the black clouds let rain fall from them and struck the ground with lightning.
In the gloom of the day travelers sought refuge in towns. Demons roamed the land looking for the weary traveler and making them their soggy meal.
Amongst the scattered travelers that sought something was a young woman with raven black hair and blue eyes, which were, at the moment, glazed over. Her strange attire composed of an odd pair of pants, shoes and a very tight long sleeved shirt that was warmer than it appeared to be gave away her position in the empty surroundings. She was pushing through a forest in the east, heading towards the borders of the west.
Her aura was weak, it was as if she was out of strength but her own determination made her push forward. She was soaked and covered in mud, falling a lot on the soaked ground but kept pushing herself back up again, only to fall a few meters away once more.
Day gave way to dusk and dusk gave way to night.
The rain stopped mid night but the woman was still soaked. She didn't stop to sleep. She didn't stop to eat or drink. She just kept heading west, pushing herself for a goal it seemed she could never attain.
Night gave way to dawn and dawn gave way to morning.
The sun was up and the gloom of the previous day was lifted as the ground started to dry.
In the not so far off distance the castle of the western lands had started coming into view. It's high, almost gothic like, towers shimmered in the distance. The vast castle looked like a castle from a far meaning its grand build would be more awe inspiring as the woman got closer.
She had passed towns, never venturing in, and the villagers never noticed her, never venturing out.
The castle was in view, only an hour's walk, at the pace the woman was going.
And then she heard it.
"Help me! Jaken! Help me!" A cry came that echoed through the land.
The woman took off at an alarming speed running towards the sound to find a lizard demon attacking a blind young girl, or about to.
The woman jumped in front of the girl.
The lizard demon swiped down, catching the woman's stomach and ripping it open, becoming purified at the touch of her blood.
The woman fell to her knees as she blinked at the own sight of her life force draining out of her.
"Rin...Rin come here." The woman breathed, addressing the child.
"Kagome?" Rin asked the woman.
"Yes Rin, its Kagome, come to my voice." Kagome, the woman, breathed.
The blind child came towards Kagome until she was right close to Kagome.
Kagome reached up and put her hands over Rin's eyes and then there was a pink light.
Rin opened her eyes and saw. She was seeing. She wasn't blind.
Then Rin screamed.
Sesshomaru, the lord of the west, the seemingly frozen emotional demon of the west, heard his ward, Rin, scream. He had set out at a quick pace to find her but, upon hearing his ward scream again he appeared by her in an instant.
His ward was crying and pointing at Kagome.
"Help her! Help her! Kagome healed me! Help her!" Rin cried.
Sesshomaru looked down at his ward and looked at her in astonishment. She had lost her sight in a battle she was never part of and now she was healed.
Sesshomaru looked down at the almost dead Kagome and knew he had to save the young woman's life. She had healed his ward, she had healed his Rin.
He pulled out his Tenseiga, the healing sword his father had left for him, and killed the imps of the underworld that had come to claim the woman souls.
He was thoroughly surprised when the woman didn't get up. He noted that she was breathing, shallowly, and that her wound was still alarmingly harmful to her health.
"Why isn't she getting up?" Rin exclaimed.
"Rin, she needs to be brought to the castle and healed." Sesshomaru announced.
He picked the bleeding Kagome up and picked Rin up, holding them in separate arms and turned into a ball of light, heading towards his castle.
He had several questions for the miko known as Kagome. How did Rin get her sight back? What happened? Who attacked her? Where was Jaken? But, more importantly, why was she in his lands by herself?
Sesshomaru let Rin off in the gardens of his vast castle, instructing her to go play and not to disturb the healer or Kagome until he said she could go see her.
He walked briskly in the castle, knowing the woman in his arms was in a critical condition.
"Hokusai." Sesshomaru announced, stepping into the healing room of his castle and laying Kagome down on the bed.
"Yes lord…oh my." Hokusai gasped, walking over to Kagome.
"What happened to this woman?" He asked in total amazement.
"I do not know but I revived her from death with Tenseiga and she still had this wound." Sesshomaru told his healer.
"Her wound is deep and needs to be treated immediately. Where did you find this woman?" Hokusai asked Sesshomaru.
"I found her the fields heading here, I am guessing. She healed Rin." Sesshomaru told him.
"Healed Rin?" Hokusai asked him.
"Yes, Rin is no longer blind. I need you to make this woman well. I have questions that need to be answered." Sesshomaru announced before he left the room to go see Rin, his beloved Rin.
Hokusai started to rummage through books and started to mix different things, pouring them into goblets and pouring some into Kagome's almost dead mouth.
After several trial-by-error mixtures he poured a full goblet of rust colored liquid down her throat and watched as it healed her wound from the inside out.
Kagome started to cough as her eyes snapped open and she sat up, much to the protest of her very sore stomach.
"Where am I?" Kagome managed to get out.
"You are in Lord Sesshomaru's castle in the west and you should be glad that you are breathing young lady." Hokusai announced.
"Oh…" Kagome started and looked up at the aged healer. "Well I'm Kagome." Kagome sighed, sitting up fully.
"I am Hokusai, Sesshomaru's personal healer. I have to go tell him of your waking." Hokusai announced.
"Before you do, could I get a glass of water?" Kagome asked, dying of thirst.
Hokusai left and returned with a goblet of water then swept out, intending to find Sesshomaru.
Kagome drank the water slowly at first but gulped the rest of the goblet a few seconds later.
She had just swung her legs over and tried to get up when Sesshomaru stalked into the room, shutting the door behind him.
Kagome sighed.
'Here we go.' She thought.
"What happened?" Sesshomaru demanded in a stern tone.
"I got hit by a car." Kagome replied sarcastically then realized Sesshomaru didn't know what a car was.
"How did Rin get her sight back?" Sesshomaru asked, his tone softening.
"I healed her." Kagome replied.
"Why?" Sesshomaru demanded.
"Because Naraku wasn't the one who took her sight."
And that is where it ends. Stayed tuned for chapter two, which will be up in a few moments. Your's truly, Midnight.
