InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Soul Search ❯ Chapter Three ( Chapter 3 )

Winterscape: Greetings again, this is the third chapter of Soul Search. This chapter is about the same length as the others and perhaps written more freely, as you would call it. I do hope you enjoy it and please review.

 

InuYasha let out a cry of pain and hit the ground with a thud as Kagome's dagger connected with his stomach as he was going to attack you.

 

“I told you not to do It InuYasha.” Kagome told him as she took her dagger out of him.

 

“You bitch I'll get you for this.” InuYasha screamed, starting to get up.

 

“Go home InuYasha. Go back to Kaide's village and leave me be.” Kagome ordered him with authority.

 

“You'll get killed out here by yourself. Maybe I should just leave you out here by yourself for the demons to feed on.” InuYasha yelled as Kagome walked away.

 

“Funny, I can handle you and you're supposed to be strong. I think I'll manage.” Kagome replied, ignoring the rest of his yelling as she sheathed her dagger again.

 

Kagome walked onto a path that lead into the west, although there was no village up ahead Kagome knew she was on the right path.

 

“When did I learn to defend myself so quickly?” She asked herself.

 

`Child, I am old, older than you can imagine. Your ancestors have bestowed not only the powers of a miko on you but all their fighting tactics and skills. You just have to learn how to tap into them. For now, I'll help you.' Her soul replied, making her smile.

 

Kagome thought to herself that he talking to herself and getting answers from her soul could very well be a trick and someone was playing with her or perhaps she was just crazy. She didn't know but if it wasn't for her she would have been killed, more than likely.

 

Kagome looked on the path ahead and saw a white and red rose lying on top of each other forming an `x'.

 

She walked up to it carefully and crouched. She brushed her hand over the flowers and they disappeared and warmed her.

 

She stood up and started walking noting that she felt more delicate, more sophisticated and more like a precise flower.

 

The rose was now her symbol, her protector, her guide and she accepted it. If she had to let her soul and the roses of the time lead her on her path she would. All that mattered was finding that bed of rose petals and lying in it.

 

Her soul mate would be there.

 

Kagome never thought in a million years she would have a soul mate.

 

Of course she once had been in love InuYasha, not anymore though, but he wasn't her soul mate. He wasn't a silhouette in her dreams that had more power over her than anything. He wasn't the one that made her mind go hazy and her body tingle. No, it was him, whoever he was.

 

Kagome walked slowly, basking in the beauty of the west.

 

As night fell she found a nice hot spring with a waterfall and set up camp.

 

She undressed and slipped into the hot water.

 

The water soothed her and cured any aches or pains she hadn't noticed or had noticed just did nothing about.

 

She sighed and relaxed feeling safer than she ever had.

 

She opened her eyes and looked the water fall. As she did she noted that she was also more relaxed than she had ever been with InuYasha or with anybody else for that matter.

 

Perhaps being on her own really was better.

 

She got out and let herself be dried off by the wind before she dressed in the cloths she had. She would have to wash them the next day but for the time being she was tired.

 

She lay down on the soft earth and looked up at the stars.

 

A shooting star burst across the sky but, for once, Kagome had nothing to wish for.

 

She closed her eyes and let her soul take charge.

 

She was in a different place this time.

 

She was in a black silk bed with white rose petals all over it. She looked around the room she was in. It was all covered in silk and it was all black. Although it would have, perhaps, seemed depressing it wasn't.

 

She lay back down and closed her eyes as the main door opened.

 

She sat up to see who it was but she had her back to him.

 

“Relax.” The man told her as he kissed her neck and rubbed her arms.

 

“Who are you?” Kagome asked in a whisper.

 

“You will know soon.” The man replied as he continued to kiss her.

 

Kagome lay back down on the bed and closed her eyes as her and her lover kissed.

 

He was on top of her and he was asking for entrance into her mouth. Kagome granted him that access and he started to explore her depths.

 

Their kisses were passionate and soft and seemed to last for hours.

 

The sun started to rise and the first hints of dawn started to peak into the room.

 

“Come back to me tomorrow my love.” He whispered in her ear.

 

“I will.” Kagome replied.

 

“Be safe and follow your heart.” The man whispered.

 

He kissed softly on the lips and she opened her eyes.

 

The down shone on her as she stretched.

 

She was well rested, she felt like she had slept for days but had so much energy that she hopped up and packed the little she had and headed off.

 

As she walked she noticed a bush of berries and inspected them.

 

They weren't poisonous and Kagome was surprised to find that the purplish black berries where blackberries, like the ones from her time.

 

She started to walk west again and was walking slowly and paced until she heard a scream from up ahead and felt a demon.

 

She broke into a run in time to see a demon attacking a young child with black hair.

 

She unsheathed her daggers and threw one at it as its approached the girl.

 

It hit the demon in the side and he screamed in pain directing its attention at the ready Kagome.

 

It ran towards her but Kagome was prepared. As it lunged at her she threw her other dagger at it.

 

It hit him in the chest and fell a few inches in front of her, dead.

 

She picked up her two daggers and sheathed them running over to the child.

 

“Are you alright.” She asked the girl.

 

“Yes I'm…Kagome!” The little girl announced, hugging Kagome.

 

“Oh…hello Rin, how are you?” Kagome asked, hugging the girl.

 

“Rin's happy!” The girl, Rin, replied.

 

“Rin, why are you out here alone?” Kagome asked her.

 

“Rin doesn't like Jaken; he's no fun, so Rin ran away.” Rin told her.

 

“Rin, we have to get you back to Jaken. He may not be fun but you could get hurt out here by yourself.” Kagome replied.

 

Rin nodded and started skipping on the path as Kagome followed.

 

In a short while Rin was racing with her arms out.

 

Standing a few yards away was Jaken and Sesshomaru, the lord of the west and full demon half brother of InuYasha.

 

“Wench, where is my idiot brother?” Sesshomaru asked Kagome in a stern voice.

 

“He's probably being an idiot somewhere. I don't know where he is, I'm not his keeper.” Kagome replied with an attitude that she didn't know she had.

 

“Sesshomaru-sama a demon attacked Rin but Kagome saved Rin!” Rin exclaimed, hugging Kagome's leg.

 

“Well if you wouldn't have run away you wouldn't have been attacked!” Jaken yelled.

 

Rin stuck her tongue out at the green demon who pointed his staff at her until he caught site of Kagome's glare.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru do you not see how the ungrateful wench glares at me?” Jaken shrieked.

 

Jaken looked at Kagome again just as his own staff hit him over the head.

 

“Stupid toad.” Kagome mumbled.

 

“Wench, why are on my lands?” Sesshomaru demanded as Rin started to chase Jaken with his staff.

 

“I'm here because…well…actually, I'm not quite sure why I'm here.” Kagome admitted, thinking.

 

“It is unwise to enter my lands without my approval or any protection.” Sesshomaru growled.

 

Kagome was looking at him but she didn't hear him

 

She looked around and felt the wind start to pick up and the sky start to darken very slowly.

 

“Wench, are you…” Sesshomaru started.

 

“Shut up.” Kagome replied, listening to the wind.

 

“Rin.” She whispered as she turned around and saw a gust of wind surround the girl.

 

She looked up to see the clouds start to show strikes of lightning in them.

 

“Rin!” She cried as a bolt came down from the sky directed at the ground.

 

Kagome ran towards the girl.

 

The lightning hit the ground with a bang and a scream was heard.

 

Winterscape: Greetings. I do understand that you are probably reaching your wits end with how I leave the chapters but at least I update fast. Please stay posted for the fourth chapter. I bid thee good day.

 

Final Note: This Final Note will be used for three things. First, if a song is featured in the chapter the title and artist will be posted. Second, if the chapter is based on or inspired by a song said song will be posted here with the title and artist. Third, I seem to write better with music so I will post what I am listening to in a hope that perhaps the song will help others when writing. This chapter has no song in it and wasn't inspired by a song. I am currently listening to `When theWater Runs Dry'by Boys to Menit is a very good song and I do hope that you one day get to hear it.
