Chapter 5

Old Kaede

 

Kagome wakes up from a dream to know what she must do. Therefore she sets out to find her past and destroy some dude named Naraku, leaving a note to her father saying that she loved him and that they would meet again in the future.

On her journey she meets new people and makes new friends such as: Mimiko- poor farmer's daughter wishes to become an assassin when older; human. Kanna-Kitsune priestess of the mystical forest; Sakanaro-water demon who wishes to live in peace. Nekana- princess of the cat village; haynou; 13 years old.

 

Kagome and her new friends had been traveling for five days and still had no new shards. The group was slowly sinking into depression; that is almost the entire group, Kagome as usual was her bright and cheery self that would make even the darkest of times seem a little lighter. However today she was exceptionally jovial.

“Kagome is there something that you haven't told us?” asked Nekana.

“Yepps,” was the one worded reply they received.

“And what might that be shorty?” teased Sakanaro.

“I'm not short!” Kagome cried indignantly while looking up at her friends that all stood about three feet above her, causing a couple of eyebrows to rise. “You are all just really tall.”

“What ever you say… shorty,” came Sakanaro's smart reply. This only caused Kagome to stick out her tongue which quickly caught.

“Don't stick that out unless you plan to use,” he said in a deep sensual voice which resulted in two red marks on his head from the three others surrounding him, and a quizzical look from Kagome.

“Are you okay Sakanaro?” was the only phrase spoken before the group went dead quite. In front of them stood a young boy with burn marks all over his face coughing up his lungs. Behind him pillars of smoke rose from a small village; Fires licked at the sky with such malice and hatred only one thing could be responsible for this... Naraku.

The group went into immediate action; Kagome would care for the child as Sakanaro put out the flames while Nekana, Kanna, and Mimiko would look for survivors in the ruble.

“Oh great Kamie, how could that bastard have done such a thing?” Kagome whispered as she tried to heal the child's wounds with her miko and spiritual energy. Unfortunately, the attempts were futile for he muttered one thing while looking at her before falling into a deep dreamless sleep from which he would never awaken from.

“Lady Kagome has returned at last.”

She stared stunned at the corpse while wondering how a boy her age new her name before quickly disintegrating the body with her spirit powers. Running quickly she soon found Mimiko having trouble getting one of the survivors out from underneath a large piece of wood.

“Hey, need some help,” called Kagome through the rubble.

“Yes, get over here and help me twerp,” was her answer, but she was by her side before she completed the sentence.

“I'll lift; you pull her out, okay?” said Kagome.

“Ready when you are.”

“Then lets go,” replied Kagome as she began to slowly lift the huge block until Mimiko could get to the elderly woman and pull her out; then the would fell so hard it shook the ground causing more debris to fall.

“Lets get out of here; this place will collapse any second now.” Kagome screamed from the noise.

“Okay, I've got her lets go.”

“Do we have everyone?” asked Mimiko to the group while looking around the group.

“Where's Nekana?” asked Kanna. As soon as she asked the group began to worry. The four and the half dead old woman were just outside the wreckage trying to help the old woman and get answers.

“She could still be in their, we've gotta save her.” Announced Kagome as she stood about to jump into the collapsing village. Only she found a clawed hand blocking her path. Looking up she was about to protest when she saw it was Sakanaro who blocked her path. Peering angrily into his eyes, she prepared to verbally attack him when something happened.

The old woman began to cough and coke, signs of life under the smoky wrinkled face. Soon grey eyes scanned her saviors one by one, stopping to rest on Kagome. Everything happened so fast afterwards it is hard to say. The woman's eyes widen dramatically as they starred each other, each trying to remember why the other looked so familiar. Then it hit the woman, only one word was needed.

“Kagome!” cried out the woman, “it's me Kaede, you have finally returned.”

Kagome merrily starred and then it hit her like a ton of bricks. She fell forward, hands tightly griping her head. Images and people, she knew now why Kaede looked so familiar, the villages that they had passed, the people that they had meet, Naraku. She had met them all before, but why had she forgot? What had happened to her friends? What had happened to her family? What would happen to her new friends? Where was her father?

Questions swam through her head; each making her more confused and angrier for it was all because of Naraku that all had happened in the first place. Her ki soon began to grow with her anger, raping wildly around her. Her eyes began to bleed blue as her miko and spirit energy spun out of control. Rising to her feet she saw that Kaede was dead only causing to fuel her anger. Gritting her teeth she says simply to the other four, (Nekana had returned during the middle of the argument),

“Hold on and be ready, we're about to have a little fun.”

That was the only warning they got before the entire group disappeared in thin air only to reappear in a large battlefield with Naraku on the other side.

“I see you have come, Kagome. It is about time, though you should have warned me earlier and I may have invited more friends to this party.” Came Naraku's malignant reply.

“Bring it on.”

 

Was the only warning before the battle was on,

The war of the century with

The wickedest evil against the purest good,

All for the sake of a tiny little jewel.
