Chapter 5: The Journey of Beginnings
Well, this is my second day in the Feudal era. I’ve made some new friends: a hanyou, a monk who won’t keep his eyes off me, a demon exterminator who I think likes the monk, a fox demon who is so cute, Kagome was already my friend, and a priestess’ sister. It’s nice to be out here. To feel the nice, warm breeze, feel the soft, moist grass between your toes. It’s so nice, peaceful, and quiet out here.
“Hitome!” yelled Kagome. I take back what I said about the quietness. I turned around and saw her running up the hill I was on and holding something. “Hey. I got some clothes for you to wear, unless you still want to wear those.” I looked down to see that I was still in my pajamas.
“Thanks, Kagome,” I said. “Thing is, I’m really craving to have a bath.”
“There’s a hot spring in that direction. You can use my bath utensils.” I nodded with gratitude. I took the stuff and headed in the direction she was pointing to. I put my stuff on a rock and was about to dive into the water. I put my foot in and giggled with joy. I jumped in and sat down, feeling the warm water around. I splashed it around, having fun with it. Then, my 3rd eye picked up someone’s thoughts. ‘ God she’s beautiful,’ someone thought. I blushed. I figured out who it was and it was Inuyasha. I ducked under the water to hide my face and let my hair soak. When I did, I relaxed a bit. I closed my eyes so that the feeling of warm water can soak in and let me think of nothing but happiness. Then, when I opened my eyes, I saw somebody’s golden eyes stare at me. At first I thought it was Inuyasha but then I noticed that the person had purple strips on his cheeks. I really didn’t care for the strips because I got lost in the enchantment of his eyes. ( For all you slow people out there, she’s seeing Sesshoumaru.)
Then, I felt someone trying to get into my mind. I fought back. The guy backed up a bit while I swam to the surface. I breathed deeply and held my chest. I closed my eyes while coughing out water. The guy came out of the water and stared at me. He walked over. When I stopped coughing, I noticed that he was about one yard away from and ran behind a rock.
“Stay away from me.”
“I’m not going to hurt you, Kagome,” he said.
“Kagome? I’m not Kagome. Sorry but you have the wrong person.” He blinked a couple of times, shook his head, and put on his emotionless face on.
Sesshoumaru’s POV
I was walking through the forest minding my own business. I was looking at the trees and actually admiring them. I then noticed that I never really did that. I never really noticed anything beautiful, except for Kagome. She was the only fragile I’ve ever really cared for, other than Rin. The way Kagome’s fear always triggers my heart, the way she yells out my dumb ass half breed brother’s name, the way she covers her fear with courage and beauty. I feel like taking her in me arms and carrying her off to my palace in the western lands, not caring if anyone was around. Then, I had my chance. I came across a hot spring and felt like calming my nerves and heart. I stripped and sat in the water. That’s when I saw her. Well, not her, but raven black hair that looked like hers. I, unconsciously, swam over to get a better look. I started thinking of Kagome’s features. When the girl turned around, I ducked under the water. I saw her and automatically thought she was Kagome when she wasn’t. I started to move closer when I sensed my baka half-brother near. I growled at the thought of him interfering us and try to kill me. Then, after a while, he left. I took that as my cue to go to the beautiful maiden in the water. I swam over, face to face with the woman who haunted my dreams. She was thinking of something, but I didn’t know quite what. Then, to my surprise, she opened her eyes, ending her trance. She didn’t shake, shiver or flinch. She just sat there staring into my eyes. I broke the barrier of her mind circle and tried to make her give me a taste of her, but something wasn’t right. She started to fight with me. It was hard to take control of the matter that I made space between us. That was a big mistake. By doing that, I gave her a chance to escape. I swam up to the surface and started to approach her, willing to take another try at making her give me a sample, but she ran behind a boulder.
“Stay away from me,” she said, having a bit of fear mixed in.
“I’m not going to hurt you, Kagome,” I said, reassuring her. She then looked confused and giggled a bit.
“Kagome? I’m not Kagome. Sorry, but you have the wrong girl.” After hearing that, I tried to shake the affect of Kagome and looked at the person I was talking to. I blinked a couple of times and focused my attention on the person. After the last blink, I noticed that I was staring at another beautiful woman/child. She had a weird thing about her that drew me near. I needed to know more about this girl.
“What’s your name?” I stated more than said.
“Hitome. My name is Hitome. And may I ask what your name is?”
“I am...” I never got to finish my sentence due to the half- breed.
“ Sesshoumaru!” he yelled, with Tetsusaiga in hand. I made haste and jumped towards where my clothes lay. “Stay away from Hitome!”
“Why so protective, half- breed? I thought you were only protective of the miko?” Inuyasha wasn’t listening to me because he tried to use his attacks on me.
“Arrgh! What is your business here?”
“Why else would I be here? I’ve come for Kagome.”
“You’ll never take her while I’m around!”
“Then, I’ll take Hitome instead.” I looked towards her. She shook a bit.
“You won’t take any of them, you bastard!” He attempted to hit me again, but I moved. I moved swiftly to Hitome. She got scared.
“I won’t hurt you.”
“But you’re a youkai,” she said, trembling in fear.
“Look, I have no time. Now, come with me.” I grabbed her wrists.
“No!”
“I won’t take no for and answer. Now, come!” She was struggling against me, trying to get lose. Then, I dropped her on the floor, thinking that this was a waste of my time. Inuyasha got very angry and used his claws against me. I thought it was very dumb and made him unconscious while bleeding. Then, I heard...
“ Inuyasha!” Hitome ran towards him. “What did you do that for?”
“I needed some amusement.” Then, I took hold of her wrists. “Now, come.” She resisted still. I wouldn’t take any excuse of her not to come with me. She had a beautiful figure, although it was hidden beneath her clothes now. She kept struggling until I got fed up with it and slapped her. She stumbled back, but when she was no longer in shock of the smack, she had a new power build up in her.
Hitome’s POV
The guy didn’t finish his sentence when Inuyasha busted in yelling his name. He started to protect me while a boulder already protected me while he started fighting with Sesshoumaru; I took the opportunity to put my clothes on. I still was behind the boulder when Sesshoumaru came over.
“I won’t hurt you,” he said. His emotionless eyes were now filled with concern, but I still rejected him.
“But, you’re a youkai,” I said. He brushed away what I said and grabbed my wrist saying something. I rejected him again. Then, he dropped me on the floor. I saw Inuyasha’s turn a light red and attacked Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru just looked at him like he was dumb and knocked Inuyasha unconscious in one blow. I ran to him after I yelled his name. " What did you do that for?!"
" I needed some amusement." Then, he took hold of my wrists. " Now, come." I struggled to get out of his grasp, but he was way too strong for me. Then, he slapped me. ME. I stumbled back in shock. Then, I felt my youkai side take over. My eye opened. I felt a rush of cold blood go through me. I looked up at him and smirked.
" You shouldn't have done that." My voice went a little mysterious. I didn't have any thought except to kill what ever challenged me. I cracked all my tense bones and got into my fighting stance. Sesshoumaru just stood there, prepared for any attack. Although I wasn't thinking, I knew every attack I was going to do. First, I did a sneak attack and hit him on the back of his head. Then, I started to do what a normal girly girl would do, I hit him like I was a maniac. Then, I felt a presence behind me. My eyes shifted to the side and I saw Inuyasha. I got off Sesshoumaru and headed for Inuyasha.
When I woke up, I saw Hitome hitting Sesshoumaru. Usually, I wouldn't care, but there was something different about her. Instead of her cloudy outfit that Kagome gave her, she was wearing a black kimono with red inlinnigs. Then, she looked at me and I was shocked. I saw two, no three blood shot eyes. She cracked her knuckles, got into her stance, and started to charge at me. I Sesshoumaru get up and watch. Then, I pinned her to a tree.
" I really don't want to hurt you," I said. She only stared at me and tried to pry herself from me. Then, she kicked me away from her and Sesshoumaru stepped in and pinned her back to the tree, but she also kicked him away, too. Then, a tornado of wind came towards us. ‘ Not him,’ I thought. ‘ Anyone, but him.’ The wind died down and there stood that mangy wolf, Kouga. He smiled like he always does and was about to say those 4 words “I’ve come for Kagome,” for the millionth time, when Hitome charged at him.
“What the Hell!?” he yelled before getting pushed to the floor. At that time, I felt like being one of those girls who cheer for people that Kagome mentioned. I think they were called “Cheerleaders.” Anyways, I didn’t have time to cheer. I had to get Hitome back to normal before something terrible happened. Kouga was holding her up off of him. I snickered.
“Need any help,” I said. He just looked at me with an annoyed face.
“I don’t need your help, dog-breath.” She then scratched him with her claws on the face. “Well, maybe a little.” He looked like he was about to cry. I acted quickly and pried her off him. She then jumped into a tree. “Well, that was very awkward.”
“Tell me about it.”
“Who was that?” I glanced at him. “Was that Kagome?”
“Did she look like Kagome?” He did a confused look. “Don’t tell me you didn’t look at her face?”
“You were talking to me!”
“How could you not notice her face?! She was right in front of you!” I sighed then smelt something in the air. “She’s near.”
“Who? Kagome?”
“No, your mother.” I smelt again until I reached the tree. “Uh, oh.” I backed up a bit knowing what might happen.
“What?” I didn’t say anything. Kouga smelt the air and backed up as well. Then a beam from the tree blasted us. I jumped out of the way and so did Kouga. Then, Kagome came running into the scene.
Kagome’s POV I was with the others, reading Shippou “Beauty and the Beast.” Shippou said that the beast reminded him of Inuyasha and the beauty was me. I blushed at the thought. Then, I heard a slap. “ You Hentai!” yelled a voice. I sighed. “Will Miroku ever stop being a pervert for at least a day?” I asked to no one in particular. “ That is a question only Miroku can answer,” said Shippou. Then, I heard some thuds in the forest near the hot springs. I stood to my feet. “ Kagome, what’s wrong?” “ Something’s not right. Shippou, I want you to stay with Sango and Miroku.” “ But, Kagome...” I gave him an angry look he left. I picked up my arrows and headed towards the springs. Once I got there, the first person I saw was Sesshoumaru. “ Sesshoumaru, what are you doing here?” I knew he sensed the fear in my voice.
“I came here to take a swim,” he said in a monotone voice. I gave him a confused look and heard some crashes.
“What’s going on? Where’s Inuyasha?” Sesshoumaru pointed out to the clearing. I saw Inuyasha battling a demon. Then, I scanned the area for Hitome. “Um... did you, by any chance, see a girl in the...” He pointed to the demon. I giggled a bit. He stared at me.
“What is so amusing?” I kept laughing.
“O, come on. You expect me to believe that that demon is Hitome?” He nodded. And I laughed again. Then, I looked at his face. It looked like he was telling the truth and not joking. “You’re not kidding, are you?” He shook his head. I turned my head slightly towards the battle. ‘ This doesn’t look too good,’ I thought. She was beating the crap out of him. Then, I noticed her face. It was the face of a blood, thirsty demon. I wanted to help, but something was pulling me back. I just stared. Then, Kouga appeared. Hitome pounced on him, but he was too dumb-found to notice. Then, Inuyasha pried her off of Kouga. She then jumped into a tree. Inuyasha and Kouga started an argument about something up to the point when Inuyasha smelt something and backed up. So did Kouga. Then, a red laser beam shot at them. Luckily. They weren’t injured. I rushed out and brought out my purifying arrow. I saw her and shot it. Then, nothing happened.
I was attacking everyone until Kagome shot an arrow at me. I caught it and jumped down without making a sound. I disappeared and reappeared right behind her.
“Looking for this,” I said. She got scared and ran towards Inuyasha. I looked at the arrow and pointed it to my self. Then, a white beam hit me. I screamed in agony and fell to the floor.
She had the arrow in her hand. Then, it blasted white beams at her. She screamed and her third eye started to close and her outfit faded back to the cloudy outfit it once was. Then, she fell to the floor, shaking as if she were cold. Kouga was standing behind Kagome, looking at Hitome. I sensed that my brother had left.
“Inuyasha,” said Kagome. I turned my gaze to her. “Carry Hitome back to Kaede’s hut. I’ll be there shortly.” I didn’t budge. I just stood there looking from her to Kouga and back to her. “What?!”
“You’re going to stay here...with him?” I said with my voice rising with every word.
“Look, I need him for something very Important, ok?” I still didn’t budge. “I promise I won’t mate with him.”
“Even though you’re a human, you still have to keep your promise.” She sighed and walked off with Kouga. Then, I heard a voice.
“Stop,” it said softly. I looked down at Hitome. She looked scared to death.
“Stop what?”
“Stop laughing at me.” She cried softly.
“I’m not laughing. What are you talking about?” Then, I remembered the party at Kagome’s every one of those girls, except Kagome, was laughing at Hitome. I was standing very close to Hitome that I knew that she was cold. I started to inch my hand towards her shoulder. I was about 2in. away when I stopped. I stared at her and noticed that she was dangerously shaking. (A/N: I was about to write Dangerously Cheesy, but didn’t. although that would’ve been funny.) I put my hand on her shoulder and she calmed down a bit. Then, she opened her eyes and stared at me. A tear ran down her cheek. I wiped it away. Then, I took her in my arms. She started to snuggle up to my chest. She felt so cold. I held her closer and walked back to the hut.
Once I got to camp, Shippou was the first to come out of the hut.
“What’s wrong with Hitome?” he asked. She shook furiously in my arms, which made me hold her closer. I felt like smiling, but kept a straight face. Then, Kaede came out and saw her.
“What happened to her?” she said. I told her the whole story. “Follow me.” I followed her into the hut. I sat down next to the fire. “I’m going to stick this in ye.” She had a needle in her hand.
“What?!” I yelled.
“Not ye, the young miko.”
“Oh.” She got closer to Hitome’s skin.
“Ye may not want to watch.” She stuck the Needle in and I turned away. I felt Hitome jump, but then she relaxed. I looked at her face and she looked so peaceful. I then looked at Keade, who was now dressing the wound now. Then she took the needle that was now covered in blood and put over the fire. “Ye may want to watch. Ye must learn.” She placed it over the fire and a drop fell. The fire turned to the colors red and blue. “ Ah I see now.”
“What?”
“She is a quarter demon. The red is human and miko blood and the blue is demon.”
“But, my blood is all red whether I’m human or demon.”
“That’s because ye is not miko. Therefore, ye has all red.” I sat there inhaling this information in. ‘I wonder what Kagome’s doing,’ I thought. It was pretty funny though because I haven’t thought about Kagome all day. ‘ If that mangy wolf lays one hand on Kagome, I’ll have his head on a platter.’
I told Inuyasha to take Hitome back to Keade’s so that Keade could run some tests. He started to argue, but he agreed anyway. I only had to promise that Kouga and I wouldn’t mate. Although, the thought of it made me queasy. He kept inching towards me, but it only made me walk faster. He grabbed my arm.
“Let go!” I said. He still held on. I struggled to get out of his grasp.
“Well, why don’t you slow down.” He said. “You’re walking too fast.”
“Well, why don’t you stop inching towards me? And I thought that you were the fast wolf on two feet?”
“I am.” He sighed. “ Look, dog- face isn’t here. It’s just you and me; me and my woman. No one around.” He started inching towards me. I blushed furiously. Then, I though of my promise to Inuyasha.
Flashback
‘ I promise I won’t mate with him,’ I had said.
‘ Even though you’re human, you still have to keep your promise,’ Inuyasha said.
End of Flashback
Kouga’s face was inching towards mine, but I slapped him out of it. Yes, I slapped him. He staggered back a bit in shock. “What was that for?!”
“ You were about to make me break my promise to Inuyasha. Besides, we’re out here to look for herbs.” As soon as I turned around, I found all the herbs I needed in a forest. I grabbed some and Kouga grabbed more than I needed and we walked back to camp, with Kouga grumbling the whole way behind me.
Once I even stepped one foot in camp, Shippou embraced me. I noticed that everyone was gone except Miroku who was sitting next to Keade’s hut. I returned Shippou’s hug.
“ Lucky bastard,” muttered Kouga. I smiled. ‘ He’s jealous,’ I thought. ‘ Shippou gets hugs, Kouga doesn’t; Inuyasha is forever around me; Kouga isn’t.’ I put Shippou down and started to make medicine out of the herbs.
