Chapter One: Awakening

 

“She has arrived…” tiny wisps of voices escape from every corner of the room. The room has no ounce of light what-so-ever, furniture and belongings scatter the floor, blood stains the floor and walls, and in the middle of the entire mass lays a woman. A sword spears through her back and heart, her blood begins to run black-red, and a pained expression is stricken upon her lovely face.

 

“The Queen is here…” The voices begin a chant of a language with no name, a language never heard by human ears, a language only understood by the dead. The room begins to be engulfed by darkness; the room is nearly shrouded in black, covering all, except for the woman. The woman glows brightly in the blackness as the sword in her back dissolves into thin air. And then, unexpectedly, her slender fingers begin to move delicately along the blackness.

 

“The Queen is awakening…” the tiny wisps of voices begin to overwhelm the quiet and all is no longer safe. In the depths of the voices there are anger, amazement, fear, hatred, and other unworldly things by which no other human has ever experienced. The voices continue the chant as their bodies become visible to the eye and glide out of the darkness, surrounding the woman. Their wide eyes glow crimson in the darkness and their slender figures crowd over the woman, continuing their chant in a low tone. The woman's body shifts slightly as her senses return, keener than usual. A choking sound then escapes her throat.

 

“The Queen needs the Breathe…” A slender male, unlike all the others, slithers silently out of the darkness and kneels to the woman. Lifting the woman's head onto his lap, he breathes thin air through his lips and onto the woman's face. The woman's chest elevates and she slowly begins to breathe in and out slowly, the slender male then lays the woman back into the abyss and recoils into the darkness.

 

The woman's eyes flutter open, revealing the color to be chocolate brown, but slowly and dreadfully changing to a deep grayish-blue. The woman sits up slowly, following the curious faces staring at her with breath-taking eyes and a fierce expression. The woman is willowy; being nude you can see her entire body which is very pale, long wavy black hair flows down her back. Her facial features are gorgeous, as so her bone structure. She stands slowly, and then breathes in gently. A black mist surrounds her body, altering itself into a sleek black gown.

 

“The Queen lives…” the wisps of voices rise to a low hymn, and the slender bodies begin cowering back into the darkness. Only an echo of what once was is known now, all is as it was. All is as it is. All is as it shall be. All is still no longer safe. All shall die. Because the Queen of Hell has risen once again, but this one is somewhat different, think the Dead. This one has some sort of vendetta.

 

The Queen stands motionless and calm as the Dead begin to slip back into darkness. When all have gone, except for one, who now is in front of her, kneeling at her feet, she speaks slowly and majestically. “Servant… look me in the eyes.” The man kneeling slowly lifts his head so that both the individuals meet eye to eye. “Who am I?” she asks this question solemnly.

 

The servant takes the Queen's hand as her eyes begin to graze the distance, “My Queen…you do not remember? Of course not… I was foolish to think so. You will remember all in a second, do not be afraid of the past, I am here to protect and serve you,” says the male servant gravely. He gradually stands straight on both feet and takes a small box out of his pants pocket. He opens it to reveal a glowing pink jewel. He then carefully scoops the jewel up and places it upon her forehead. All of a sudden a great wind blasts the male back and his ears are soon enough ringing the cries of the Queen.

 

“I remember!” the Queen screams as she grabs a hold of herself and the ferocious wind begins to cease. “I remember everything, Yue,” she says this more calmly as the pink jewel lands in the palm of her hand. She closes her palm tightly as a grimace caresses her face. She looks up to Yue and orders him on his feet; he immediately obeys and races to her side, bowing down on one knee again.

 

“My Queen…it appears that you have regained your memory. Just like every other Queen before you you will take the place of the highest. You will be responsible for the Underworld and the passing of the dead. You will be the judge for all, for all demons and Humes. You will decide the fate for all man-kind. I know you can accomplish it… my Queen.” Yue stands on both feet smoothly and grabs her right hand, kissing it, “Queen Kagome, may you reign forever.”

 

“Yes,” Queen Kagome's eyes begin to drift off into the distance as she begins to remember her pasts. She remembers everything, and that's just too bad for a few choice people. “I will reign forever. I will. I will destroy all of those who get in my way, and condemn all to eternal hell fire. None will escape my grasp, for I am the Queen of Hell, Queen Kagome.” Her hand begin to clench tightly around the jewel again, remembering it's effects and how the jewel was actually the start of her story she thought, `yes, I will reign. And I will kill you…I will kill you, I am certain of that. And all of your little friends too; even helpless little Shippo, ha-ha. Yes… I will kill you Inuyasha!'
