Chapter 3: The Emergence

Riku brushed away the single tear that leaked down he cheek. He had made a fool of himself, an emotional wreck. He took his fist and pounded it into the tree that stood menacingly next to him in the total darkness. He didn't groan as fists began to pound harder, rougher, into the tough bark. He could feel the chill of his own blood, dripping down his fist and staining the tree.

He stopped at last, as his fists screaming out in agony. He didn't stop because of the pain…never because of the pain. He had known too much of it, and it no longer bothered Riku. He tried to force the face of Kagome from his mind, but it was useless. His own sister…she had left…just left!

Riku roared out, trying his best not to just throw himself at the tree. He sank onto his knees, weakly. He trembled convulsively, thinking of his parents…of his sister…of his friends…Riku would not let himself cry, but it was only his pride that held back the salty drops that only began to explain his pain…

"Why?" he said simply, his voice hoarse. It was deep and rough, but it sounded so frail. "We do not always know why such things must come to pass, we can only live through such times as best we can. We must never let the ugly face of pain discourage us, nor let such emotion consume us." Said a voice in reply, a cold voice that sent a small chills through even Riku's body.

Riku tensed automatically. He knew that voice. Too well. Riku was on his feet in an instant, feeling for his treasured sword at his hip.

"Do not fear me, Lord Riku. For I do not wish to harm you." Said the female voice, it was cold--yet kindly. Riku let his hand drop. As the woman grew closer, he could feel her spiritual power. A miko. A very powerful miko.

"I am the priestess of the local village, as you may call me Kikyo." The woman said, coming into view at last. Long , shining hair was tied back slightly, and her keen features reminded Riku horribly of Kagome. They were so alike.

"I do not wish for trouble, nor do I plan to bring you any ham--." Kikyo began, but Riku was not going to trust her that easily. He snorted, his hands back on the hilt of his blade.

"I could kill you in a second, demon. Do not test me, for my patience is quite thin already the evening." Kikyo snapped suddenly, he calm demeanor gone evanescently. It was there again, however, after only a very brief moment.

Riku's hand dropped to his side for the second time in a few moments. "What do you want?" Riku said, his voice quite, yet emotionless. He was not one to mess around with formalities. He could just make out a small frown on Kikyo's face. He gray eyes shining in the bright moonlight and her hair rippling in the wind behind her.

"We have much to talk about, my lord." Kikyo replied after a long, thoughtful silence, "Much indeed."

"Kagome is a threat to all of the innocent people around he, she must be removed immediately!" Kikyo exclaimed at a frustrated Riku. Her eyes were blazing and her very voice seemed laden with anger. "You must trust in the seer!"

Riku growled ever so slightly, brushing a raven strand from his face. "So you are telling me that Kagome will try to attack Auron and will perish? You have seen this with your eyes?" He asked, his tone calculated and strained. Kikyo nodded slowly, and turned her eyes to the ground.

"I have spoken with the seer and she has told me of this. You must trust me. She will meet half-demon by the name of Inu-yasha…one I--I know well. Much will happen that should not be, for it is not Kagome's destiny to be a guardian. You must trust in me." Kikyo finished, he voice hoarse and somewhat pleading.

Riku nodded slowly. "If it is for her protection. Where will she go?" Kikyo frowned.

"She will be put into a stealth time portal, it will propel her many years into the future. She will be reborn into a better time period. She will be forever safe there. If an emergency ever occurs, she will remain near the time portal at all times." Kikyo seemed to perk up as she spoke these words, her voice filling with more emotion.

"We will contact Soul and arrange it. And if you are mistaken Kikyo, it will be your life…" Riku said, his tone still calculated and emotionless Kikyo's frown deepened, if possible.

"I will not allow failure."
