InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Forbidden Pain ❯ Chapter 2

Forbidden Pain

 

Hey all! It's Track 12! I forgot to put the disclaimer up on the last chapter, though I doubt anyone really thinks I'm the creator of these characters and anime…So, I'm not. Anyway. Thank you all who have reviewed. Once I start getting more (that is IF I start getting more), I can start emailing you thanks and stuff since I'm not going to type it at the bottom of the page. Once again, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, drop me an email or leave a review and I will get back ta ya. Promise. Oh, and for the reviewer, ME, there's a reason for everything, and you won't find out what it is for a loooooong time, think around page… 245 on Microsoft Word or something. But everything gets resolved, but this isn't going to be a short 50,000 word fic, so give it time. Thanks, and later!

 

Brief WARNING. There's some not pretty stuff towards the end of this chapter involving a lot of blood. That's all. Nothing I'd consider too graphic.

 

 

Chapter 2

 

In the feudal era Yusuke spoke. “Why did you go from a nice care free ningen to a, well, mean ice cold youkai.”

Ice cold? Ironic. “Not important.”

“Fuck that it is part of our mission to figure out why you ain't a ningen no more and what the hell happened-“

“Your mission, not mine.”

“-Oi wench and other people from the future.” Inuyasha stepped out from the forest. “Was wondering how you are still kickin' since I last saw you.” Kagome walked past not paying him any attention. “Oi wench! Can't say anything now that your think you're better than everyone or something? Feh. I got Kikyou anyways.”

Yusuke spoke a while later. “Who was that.”

“A Hanyou.”

“Damnit Kagome look. These two don't have a choice in being spirit detectives and I'm dead if I'm not, I think, and no one really wants to be here but you ain't helping by acting like, like Hiei. Try helping. We can get this done faster and you can be through with us all right?”

“Keh.”

Yusuke was pist. “He says `hn' you say `keh'. Why don't you hook up already…And now no response.”

Kurama spoke to him. “Yusuke, she will not trust us now regardless, give her time. Perhaps she will learn to at least acknowledge that we are in this together and will at least work as associates.” He looked ahead at her. “And what happened for her to act this way.”

“You mean not even you have any idea?”

“No, perhaps though…”

Memories everywhere. When part of the shard collectors group she had roamed around all of feudal Japan, even the Western lands sometimes in sheer secrecy, and the thoughts of `better times' were haunting. Not in a nightmare type of waking up scared, but in the type that you just can't sleep. That nothing, not even a tree or a lesser youkai doesn't remind her of what happened and what she is now. From her `human' years she quickly put two and two together and figured out for herself what the crystal on the bracelet was for. Like a mood ring. It showed how angry she was, or enraged, or calm, or sad. She briefly tested it out and also made yet another starting discovery: the other forbidden child was a psychic. He reacted to her having a million moods in less that five minutes. So every night for a month she trained her mental skills to increase her mental defenses even more. She knew he knew that she was a forbidden child, yet he hadn't told the kitsune…creature, thing, and the….youkai hanyou ningen. The hell did Rekai put together this shitty of a spirit detective group? One was a youkai for sure but forbidden, whom are supposed to be killed on site, yet he was still alive. One…She had no idea what Kurama was. She sensed ningen and kitsune in him, yet he wasn't a kitsune or ningen and most defiantly wasn't hanyou. Two in one? Then there was Yusuke, who acted like a human, but from the battle with the boar youkai, clearly was not. As if something was hidden inside of him aiding him when it got too tough. And no hanyou could hope to be that powerful even if he compensates with a big sword.

That caused her to smirk to herself. Yusuke spoke at night seeing her crystal change colors.

“What's got you not perfectly nothing for a mood.”

“How all males ningen hanyou or youkai compensate for lack there for in one way or another.”

Yusuke sighed. “I said I'd stop asking weeks ago, thought I try.”

Kurama spoke seeing how her eyes were. “I believe she did give a straight answer.”

The girl looked at Kurama, noticed how he looked at her, and made a decision that she would learn how to control her eyes as well so no one could read her. She opened her eyes come morning from her usually half sleep and realized that -

“Wake up.”

Kurama woke within seconds. Hearing it again Yusuke did as well. “PMS this early in the morning.”

“We're being watched. His insects are here. Don't waste your spirit energy, he'll send something within an hour.”

Yusuke spoke. “Who is he.”

“Naraku.”

“And we know who this Naraku is….No.”

“He has half of the shikkon no tama and wants everyone dead Naraku.”

Twenty minutes later Kagura, high in the air, showed with a hoard of demons along with two rather large dragon youkai -

“-And they each have a shikon shard in them.”

Kurama took out his rose whip fighting. “And dragon youkai are extremely powerful as it is.”

Hiei focused on one dragon though the other tail attacked him while Kagome the other. The hoard of lesser demons was attacked by Yusuke and Kurama while Kagura attacked from above only when a perfect opportunity came to her. Watching the battle she move slightly to get a better aim of the female in the group when she noticed something.

“You are all from the same village that Kagome girl was from…Get that insects. Go tell Naraku.” In seeing as how they actually listened to her Kagura smirked in seeing them leave. She used dances of blades again cutting through Yusuke knocking down Hiei for the dragon to slash his arm while Kurama somehow fox like avoided. She flew over, landed, cut the female away from the dragon deep in her back and looked at her. “You are Kagome.”

“Got a point.”

“How did you become a youkai-“ Kagura glared at her. “You're a forbidden child. Ice and fire mutt.”

Kagome put fire in her hand. “Got a problem with it then fight me.”

She flew up on her feather. “Not today, I obviously know a few things that you don't, bitch. Try using fire on me and you'll find that I am out of your reach.” She flew off. “Later.”

Returning back to the fight paying no attention to her back she quickly pinned the dragon paw about to crush Kurama down with an ice spear, jumped up and cut its leg off flipping over the other one getting slashed by a lesser youkai with her ice sword. She growled throwing another spear in the remaining eye then setting it on fire through the blood from its stub end. Killing it seeing Yusuke out she fought her way over to him, threw him next to Kurama and cut the legs off of the dragon and took out the rest of the lesser youkai as Hiei took out the dragon.

The all moved to a clear area away from the carnage. Kurama noticed as well as the others that Kagome's back oozed heavily with blood and the rest of her injures.

“Perhaps you should take care of you wounds Kagome.”

“Someone's coming.” She said standing.

Yusuke stood falling back down. “Awh shit. Another fight and looks like it's you and Hiei then. Know who it is.”

“Inuyasha.”

He smirked setting Kikyou down off of his back. “Kikyou the great miko sensed two jewel shards here. Didn't expect to find you bitch.”

Kikyou frowned. “She is a youkai now, and a forbidden child. How dare you taint my soul further.” She notched an arrow. “You will die now.”

“Yeah go ahead love. Get your soul back, I'll sharpen my claws on the wench. Surprised a pure blood youkai and those two mix breed humans can stand to be around, it.”

Kikyou fired an arrow causing Kagome to quickly move out of the way getting burned on her arm with purification while Inuyasha currently quicker than her ran up slashing up from her stomach to her face. She fell down into a tree and threw a fire ball in his face, not at his fire rat, and then kicked him back getting up to his side only to go back from the arrow to get punched down. Hiei jumped into the fight slicing down on Inuyasha who let out a shout.

“Shrimp…”

Kikyou didn't want to fight taking chances with Hiei battling. “Let's go for now Inuyasha. We will get the shards and my soul, later.”

As Kagome sat down, Yusuke spoke. “Thanks for saving my butt earlier. Take the Keh as you're welcome.”

Kurama spoke. “Likewise, but, speaking for Yusuke and myself, you're a forbidden child, ice and fire youkai.”

“And.”

“Nothing. I was just not able to tell this before…”

Yusuke spoke. “That why you went all depressed. You found out somehow that you were going to be turned into an ice fire youkai.”

“No.”

“And back to this type of answers.”

Hiei spoke. “Not even the fates are as cruel to turn a ningen into a forbidden child. She was born this way and her life was in danger somehow so she had to revert out of her ningen state.”

Yusuke. “Still doesn't tell me why you were all depressed.”

“Keh.”

Three days later per Kurama's request so they did not try to travel heavily wounded, they continued on with Kurama trying to poorly get into Hiei's mind as his way of getting him to establish a link.

`What fox.'

`You were able to hide your fire half after you learned your first lesson that you were going to be hated for what you were and most people mistook you and still do solely for a fire youkai. Why can't Kagome?'

`Who ever her egg and sperm donors were were both powerful. Ice maidens are weak, so I was able to over power my ice half. She can wield both of hers, both halves are too strong to mute one or the other. Stuck.'

`Maybe she will trust us now…'

Kagome led then further north for about ten more days until they noticed that they were in wolf territory. Kogua's pack was less than six days away. It would be the first time that she would have to truly test her abilities in emotionless and such. Would she simply just hack of Kogua's legs and take his two shards, or ask him? Not that one, he would defiantly hate her for being forbidden if he didn't like hanyou. But could she kill him? He hadn't done a thing against her…She could, but didn't want to that much, it would be a pointless kill. So she decided to somehow get him alone and cut it out of his legs with ice numbing the pain, numbing him. And if the rest of these, youkai ningen creatures with her decided to say something, which for sure two of the three would, one more tasteful than the other, she knew what she would say.

But they didn't come across Kogua's den in six days. It was empty, yet again. Eight days in total a whirlwind appeared in the distance and stopped dead in its tracks looking at Kagome.

“The hell you do to my woman youkai bitch! Tell me so that I may kill you afterwards!...Tell me now!”

Kagome silently analyzed it, he actually did care for her. Kogua was pist and near tears believing `Kagome' was dead. Not wanting to crush him or make him seem rejected in his pack, realizing that she was still soft in some areas and would fix it, she punched him in his face and before he could kick her twice hit him fiercely in the back of the neck. As he fell to the ground she created an ice dagger in her hand and began to cut the jewels out of his legs as Kurama spoke.

“Why show care to a wolf that either knew you or mistook you for someone's killer.”

Kagome fused the shards they knew she had together, the only other thing she was still able to do as a youkai involving her former abilities. “He's a wolf prince. Killing him gets more wolfs than I care to deal with at this time after us, in the thousands. I don't want to be here any longer than I have to.”

They walked off and she believed Kurama and the rest to believe it. There were thousands of wolves, just not in his direct pack that she knew of. Then again, she was always out of the loop before and probably still was now. After a few days of walking she realized that she would have to try to permanently seal off her weak emotions later. She had to check on hopefully one last thing. To set up camp mainly for Yusuke and slightly for Kurama she was commissioned to get firewood. And knowing that Hiei didn't say around and the other two were out getting food she used stealth and gathered the firewood, left it at the soon to be camp site, then ran off for the two scents very faint in the air.

Yusuke noticed Kagome wasn't around and didn't think much of it. But when they woke in the morning he noticed she wasn't there.

“Oi, Kurama, got any idea where Kagome is.”

“I don't even sense her at all…And by that response coming down from the trees neither does Hiei.”

Hiei spoke. “Her scent is cold and I can't pick up anything from her and she already knows how to block the Jagan to the point of me killing her if I were to use it by force to get into her mind.”

Yusuke spoke. “Well, she said we were going east. East is that way, we keep going and since this place is huge without a car if she doesn't show up within a week call Koenma.”

Kurama spoke. “Yusuke is using his brain in a very ingenious way.”

Hiei spoke. “A rare occurrence indeed.”

Kagome ran. As fast as she could without dying. Kaeada's village was far from where she was at. After three days of running straight she came into the village and was stopped. They had beefed up security, ofudas along the perimeter of the village by Miroku, stronger than Kaeada. Miroku and Sango left a hunt in hearing the villagers sacred, nervous, and talking far more than normal.

“Speak youkai. What business do you have with this peaceful village lest we slay you.”

Good ole Sango, it's better that they don't recognize her then. “I wish to know the whereabouts of a kitusne kit named Shippo, I knew him long ago.”

Miroku spoke. “You are a forbidden child are you not youkai? What business do you have, truly?”

Smart ass Miroku. “I am, and he is important to me as his family.”

Miroku looked down. “Then you should know he was killed months ago along with his, new mother. Come, we will take you to his grave, then ask you to leave in peace.”

Kagome walked feeling Sango's ready to kill tension behind her. They came to a small area near the largest tree in Japan to see two grave markers, one with a bulge, the other without. The innocent, care free, hyper…

“Who killed this kit.”

Sango spoke with hate in her words. “An undead miko of clay called Kikyou.”

“And of his mother.”

Miroku spoke seeing Sango pist in tears. “We were never told what truly happened to her. All we know is that the last day we had seen her, Shippo told us he smelled her blood and ran off in front of us towards it. He started crying saying she had to be dead from the amount of blood he was in, rags of her uniform on the ground, areas of skin in flesh. The next thing we know the undead miko purifies him to `shut him up'. She was gone before we could blink.”

The crystal on her wrist was black with sparks of red. “Thank you for informing me. I will leave as told to do so.”

Kagome ran off no longer tired fueled with vengeance. After a day she immediately came up enraged and punched Kikyou down kicking Inuyasha off to the side, and beat her into clay again killing her stolen souls. Seeing Inuyasha in his `youkai' form she easily avoided him much slower and began to kick him down until he noticed his head crushed in. Popping his head off he took the tetseigua along with the shards Kikyou had on her fusing those with her collection the spirit lackeys did not know about and returned to Kaeda's village speaking to a child scared to death of her.

“Tell Miroku sama and Sango sama to collect and safeguard this. Shippo chan is avenged.”

She ran feeling a bit refreshed from having a whole soul and wanted to check on one last thing but decided against it. What if the spirit detectives decided to call Koenma to activate the crystal? She did not want to find out what it would do to her. But it had already been days and she was slowing down from over exertion. They weren't that far ahead.

Hiei spoke. “You know if you do this the onna will never trust you.”

Yusuke spoke walking in day light holding the compact. “But if I don't and she doesn't return then Koenma will have all of our asses and I'm already in enough crap as it is. You still can't pick up anything from her?”

“Nothing.”

Kurama spoke hearing the compact in Yusuke's pants make a noise. “Ironic. He decides not to contact Koenma, who contacts him instead.”

“Sup toddler- yeah shut up speak already.”

“Insolent!...Anyways, how are things going?”

“If that doesn't sound fake what do you really want.”

“Where's Kagome.”

You owe me one girl. “She's in one of these hot river things cleaning her self. PMS or something - I can call everything PMS cause it probably is with women!”

“Well get her back now or go find her. I have a replica of her crystal here and her moods have not been stable as they once were and since you haven't contacted me I want to know what's going on with her. I'll call back in two minutes.”

Yusuke closed the compact. “Well she's screwed.”

Kurama spoke. “As are we. If he uses that crystal and she will suspect us then staying with her will be like PMS Yusuke.”

Yusuke opened the compact again. “Hey baby.”

“Quiet Yusuke…Why don't you have Kagome?”

“I told you I ain't gonna interrupt a PMS woman.”

Koenma sighed. “Fine then Yusuke- STOP CALLING ME TODDLER! Then I will! Put this crystal to some use-“

“-Wait what does this crystal do?”

“I heard it causes extreme pain, and then she will learn to listen and bring herself back when told to-“

“-But no one even told her yet how can she listen-“

“-Too bad for her then isn't it Yusuke you didn't want to tell her now I get to find out what this does. I'll contact you back in five minutes-“

Hiei's eyes widened some- “Wait!”

The next thing they heard was a small thud to the ground and they ran for about one minute and saw Kagome on her knees with blood slowly coming from her mouth with a face of extreme pain. Yusuke spoke.

“Knew she'd come back…Something's wrong…”

Kurama spoke horrified. “Oh God…”

Kagome threw up a load of blood. She did it again in mist of Yusuke trying to speak to her and fell onto her hands. She made a small whimpering sound only Kurama picked up. Yusuke was pist.

“What the hell Koenma you're going to kill her!”

“She didn't show up when I wanted her to and you didn't go after her, your own fault Yusuke. Now Kagome-“

She threw up more blood and then again falling onto her side eyes small extremely pale. Everything hurt, everything was slow, but the worst pain… She couldn't even describe it. Kagome tried standing but before she could even take a step she threw up more blood, whined, and passed out.

Kurama spoke aghast. “I had no idea Koenma…”

“Necessary steps. I see all is fine now. Remember you mission.”
