InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Soul Search ❯ Chapter One ( Chapter 1 )

Winterscape: Greetings, you may refer to me as winter. This is the first of many fan fictions that will be authored by me. This particular fan fiction, Soul Search, I hope to have finished with at least ten chapters within a few weeks. Please, review with no `flames'. I do try to put some creativity into my work and I would appreciate it if you would review it if you liked it and moved along if you didn't. Thank you.

 

The sun shone brightly. It illuminated the ground. It warmed the earth and the soul. It sent a sensation of sweet numb tingling up your spine and into your heart.

 

Unfortunately, the day may have been amazing but that didn't mean you would have a good day.

 

“Kagome, where is the shard?” An irritated half human half dog demon yelled; his silver hair and golden eyes searching the area for something.

 

“I told you, you're fighting the wrong demon!” A young woman with beautiful raven black hair and paralyzing blue eyes yelled back.

 

The young woman was currently releasing arrows at a demon that seemed to take the damage as no more than an irritating fly bite.

 

“If I'm fighting the wrong demon than why is it so strong?” InuYasha, the half demon, yelled back at the young woman in a stubborn and arrogant way.

 

“Probably because you've lost your touch.” Kagome, the young woman, announced to the wind.

 

At that moment a clawed hand from the unclassified demon she was fighting swiped her arm and cut it open. The gash was deep and bleeding furiously already.

 

“Oh my god, I think it got a…” Kagome started to say but had no time as she had to dive to save herself from the demon.

 

She got up and started to maneuver around it so she could heal her arm.

 

The demon was to fast and managed to swipe her again, this time leaving a big, deep and deadly gash in her abdomen.

 

She fell on her knees and didn't have the strength to even cry out as her blood left her and the demon prepared itself for the kill.

 

At the very moment when the demon would have killed her a giant boomerang came out, cutting the demon in half. In an instant a large fire cat demon, a demon slayer and monk ran out of the forest behind them and rushed to Kagome's side.

 

“Miroku, she needs to be taken care of fast.” Sango, the slayer, told the monk, Miroku, in a frantic voice.

 

“Put her on Kilala and bring her to the closest village. See what they can do.” Miroku instructed.

 

Sango and Miroku helped Kagome onto the fire car demon, Kilala, and Sango mounted on it and started racing in the sky to the nearest village.

 

“What happened?” InuYasha asked Miroku with an aggravated tone.

 

“Kagome is on the verge of dying. If it wasn't for her we would have never got the shard.” Miroku told him, picking up a small fragment of pink crystal from the ground where the split demon lay.

 

InuYasha growled.

 

“Well maybe if she wasn't so helpless she could have killed it without getting hurt!” InuYasha yelled.

 

“And where were you in all this then?” Miroku asked him angrily.

 

InuYasha fumed and took off into the forest as Miroku started to follow the path that Sango, Kagome and Kilala had taken.

 

“Kagome, you have to hold on we're almost there.” Sango told Kagome as the village came into view.

 

“I know.” Kagome replied in a voice no louder than a whisper.

 

The three landed in the middle of the village.

 

“We need a doctor!” Sango cried as she helped Kagome off Kilala.

 

“Lady, the only doctor here is the old doctor. I am sorry but we do not have a lot of supplies to help her with.” A man told her.

 

“Please, take me to her.” Sango told him frantically.

 

They raced through the village, Sango carrying Kagome, until they reached a small hut where an old woman sat.

 

“Oh my, come in come in.” The old woman gestured.

 

“It would be best if you stayed outside.” The man told Sango, placing a hand on her shoulder and then walking around.

 

“Kilala.” Sango called out.

 

Kilala was at her side in an instant.

 

“Go find Miroku.” She told Kilala and with a nod the fire cat took to the sky.

 

Sango walked over to a tree near the lady's hut and put her head on it.

 

“If she dies I'll kill you InuYasha. I'll kill you.” She announced the wind, knowing no one was listening.

 

The minutes passed as Sango paced the outside.

 

Kilala landed and Miroku flew off, going to hug Sango.

 

“She can't die Miroku.” She told him softly.

 

“She won't.” Miroku replied.

 

The two sat together.

 

In the past few weeks it seemed that their lives had gone from worse to better and than back again. They had finally gotten together. Naraku, the evil demon they were questing to defeat, finally fell, shattering the jewel once more. They had gone off, back to Sango's village, but then they sensed something was wrong and went in search of Kagome only to find her fighting for her life against a demon that InuYasha cared nothing about.

 

“I'll kill him Miroku, I'll kill him.” Sango announced, tears running down her cheek.

 

“I know, but there are more important matters at hand right now. We have to get Shippo, he's with Kaide and he needs to be here with us.” Sango nodded and hopped on Kilala just as the old lady emerged from the hut.

 

“The child is asleep. I do not know what will happen, the next few hours will be crucial and I have done all I can.” The old lady sighed.

 

“Thank you, we must depart for a short while to retrieve the woman's surrogate child in another village.” Sango told her as Miroku joined her on Kilala and they took off.

 

Kagome lay in the darkened hut, fading in and out of sleep, in and out of pain and in and out of the white light that she wanted to run away from and go into at the same time.

 

She tossed and turned her head and whimpered. Finally she let her body relax and was whisked away into her subconscious.

 

She found herself in a field. A beautiful field where a small amount of flowers bloomed.

 

“Take a trip into your soul.” A mystical voice told her.

 

Kagome closed her eyes in the field and let herself be taken away by her soul.

 

She opened her eyes to find herself lying in a bed of white and red rose petals with a beautiful blue dress on.

 

She looked around the area. The night stars reflected in the pond that was nearby. She looked up to see a magnificent castle that made her relax.

 

She lay down on her bed of rose petals and closed her eyes, relaxing in the bliss her soul had created.

 

She felt someone close but didn't want to know who. It was too peaceful to look.

 

She felt the presence get closer, it was beside her.

 

Then, whoever it was, leaned down and brushed their lips against hers ever so softly.

 

And than it was over.

 

Kagome woke up in the hut, it was nightfall. The dream had left her dazed and confused.

 

She sat up, noting the diminishing paint in her lower abdomen and in her arm.

 

She walked out of the hut slowly to find Sango, Miroku and her surrogate son Shippo asleep.

 

She looked around and into the west. A castle lay in the distance but everything was visible. This was, for certain, the closest village to the castle.

 

Kagome walked over to her son, picked him up and brought him inside the hut with her, falling asleep with him almost instantly, not noticing that her abdomen cut had reopened and she was bleeding again, bleeding so much that her sleep could turn into unconsciousness and then into death.
