Chaos

 

Chapter 8

 

Kagome stood outside the mansion doors over the dusty, rocky area. She sighed a little before she turned toward Kurama who was opening the door and slipping through.

 

“I thought you would come to see me at some point in time. Although, I admit, I didn't expect you to confront me so soon.” Kagome said this as she turned around again.

 

“Are you the miko that was betrayed by a half-demon?” asked directly.

 

“Yes, yes I am.” Kagome replied.

 

“Is that why everyone that meets you shows the utmost respect to you?”

 

“Kurama, you know very well that just because I was betrayed does not mean that I get respect.”

 

“No, but the aftermath of that betrayal is legendary even among demons.”

 

“You know what happened. Why do you ask?”

 

“I want you to admit that the demons trying to take over is in fact the half-demon that betrayed you.”

 

Kagome smiled with a laugh. “I had almost forgotten how smart you really are. But, you are correct. The half-demon that betrayed me is one of the leaders of the faction.”

 

Kurama didn't speak to her. He just stared at her with his emerald eyes shining brightly back at her.

 

“You have heard the basic stories, but you probably don't know the names.”

 

Kurama slowly nodded in confirmation.

 

“His name was Inuyasha. My friends and I were running around trying to collect the shards of the Shikon Jewel. These shards were sought by many for its power that it provided. Among the demons that fought to gain the shards was a half-demon named Naraku who desperately wanted them to become a full-fledged demon. Inuyasha and Naraku were rivals that hated each other with a passion. Years went by, and we both had the same amount of shards. However, one day we came across information that Naraku was killing as many mikos as he could find. I left to warn a miko friend of ours, Kaede. When I left on Kirara, a cat demon, to Kaede's village. While I was gone, Inuyasha killed my companions including my adopted kit, Shippo.” Kagome stopped a few moments to let her silent tears go down her face.

 

“I did not mean to upset you, Kagome.” Kurama said as he stepped behind Kagome.

 

Kagome sniffed. “It's all right. I am just a little emotional right now.”

 

Kurama didn't know her very well and, in turn, didn't think holding her in his arms was appropriate. She, however, didn't allow him to come up with a solution for she spoke again. “I arrived at the village to find everyone dead. I wouldn't let Inuyasha come with me. I insisted that they go ahead to look for the location of a shard a few miles ahead. Inuyasha didn't protest, which should have told me off right there. But I didn't think much about it. I regret that more than anything now.”

 

“How did Naraku kill all the mikos off?” Kurama asked.

 

Kagome turned her head toward him in question. “Lord Sesshomaru told us that you, yourself, are the last miko alive.”

 

“I still remember their bloody bodies on the ground with claw marks across their bodies. I traveled after my companions were killed to as many villages as I could find. I wanted to warn them about Naraku's intention to kill all mikos.”

 

“He chose to kill the mikos around you to make you blame yourself.”

 

“Yes, he did. I was a powerful miko that didn't have any training in my powers. He wanted me to see that my miko powers could not save me in the end.”

 

“He was toying with you.”

 

“He gained power, by the shards, and he killed anyone that could or would rise up against him.” Kagome paused in her tale as if lost in her memories.

 

“The stories said that he was not prepared for your powers and allies that you had gained along the way.”

 

“Oh, he was prepared, but he was not prepared for my full anger. Inuyasha and Naraku both managed to pin me against a rock and a hard place. I had the help of Sesshomaru with me which helped. We weren't on the best of terms back then. He only helped me back then because I had once saved his ward, Rin. We fought them as hard as we could, but he still managed to kill all of the mikos beside myself of course.”

 

“I fought him as hard as I could. He, however, got my jewel shards from me when Sesshomaru was not looking. He made the jewel and made a wish. He wished to be a full-blooded demon with almost limitless power. The jewel granted his wish and forced its way back into my body where it was once originally. With the added power I forced Naraku and Inuyasha to the deepest darkest place in the Demon world that I could create.”

 

Kagome paused in her tale. She faced Kurama with a dry face and overly bright eyes. She was obviously done telling him about her past and was leaving him open to say and comment on anything that came to mind.

 

“Someone let them loose!”

 

“Yes, someone did. However, I have no idea who that particular person was.”

 

Kurama looked at her in thought. “But you knew that they would get out of the prison you put them in. You have been looking for people to help you defeat him. Why did you not ask the previous lords for their help.”

 

“Oh, I have. They will be helping us later. They can not train you for their power is not high enough.”

 

“Then why us? Why do we get trained?”

 

“You and your friends have so much power that you don't realize. You all have improved over the years, together and on your own. We can help you achieve your ultimate power.”

 

“They got stronger while you locked them away. You and Sesshomaru could do it on your own with no trouble. They grew enough power to where you would need help. You knew they would get stronger. Didn't you Kagome?”

 

Kagome didn't reply. She sadly nodded her head.

 

Kurama suddenly got angry. He didn't know what got into him. “Then why did you put them there?”

 

“I was desperate. I didn't have a choice at the time!” Kagome yelled at him in retaliation.

 

Kurama calmed a little. He finally realized he was getting emotional over something he should have all ready realized. He knew that she wasn't as powerful as she was five hundred years ago. Kurama also knew that Kagome wasn't telling him all of the details. She was hiding something that she was ashamed of or something she didn't want to tell him because of some uncertain reason. Kurama pulled Kagome into his arms before he thought about it. Kagome stiffened.

 

“I'm sorry. I should have known better than to yell at you. You have been through so much that I was completely out of line. Please forgive me.”

 

Kagome nodded her head. She relaxed her body to fit it comfortably against him. She closed her eyes and leaned heavily on him.

 

Kurama couldn't help but notice that they fit together as if they were made to be together for all eternity. They seemed to be like…like…soul mates.

 

A growl was heard behind him. Kurama turned around as much as he could without dropping Kagome.

 

Kagome didn't seem to notice the presence of her very pissed off older brother. Sesshomaru walked out of the darkness from the entrance of his mansion.

 

“You are walking on a fine line, fox demon. I suggest you don't get any ideas that would cause me to think twice about your presence here. Now hand her over to me quietly. I don't want her to wake her.”

 

Kurama looked down at the angel in his arms. He did not want to let her go out of his arms. Her calm pleasing scent made him feel truly peaceful. He reluctantly picked her up and gently put her in Sesshomaru's open arms.

 

Sesshomaru glared at him in a clear warning before he walked back into the mansion. Sesshomaru left an empty feeling Kurama behind to contemplate the feeling of butterflies in his stomach that were caused by a certain miko with an overprotective brother.
