InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Fire Bearer ❯ Chapter 1

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Kagome was thinking back to that night, the night InuYasha left her for dead. The night, she died herself.

She just lay there, unable to move, unable to scream, unable to make any bodily function. All she could feel was the wetness and the stickiness of her blood as she lay in a pool of it. The feel of the night wind against her nearly naked body as her clothes were now in shreds. But the most noticeable thing she could feel was her heart, as it broke.

InuYasha had left her that night, to die. He might as well have been the murderer himself. He decided to protect someone who was already dead, and because she was, it wouldn't have mattered if this happened to the dead women, would it? No, it wouldn't have. But he still did, rather then save the life of an innocent human girl.
She just lay there, listening to her poor heart as it still beat in her chest, just begging it to stop. She wanted to feel that calm, that peace that you feel when leave your body and enter the after life. She did die that night, she did lose her soul, or what was left of it, but her heart never stopped beating, and it never would, not for a long time.

So, that left her here, walking through the forest searching out her "murderer" as she referred to him. Though, no matter how much she wanted to hold him responsible, she knew her heart would never let her. If you were to come close enough to her, you would feel the heat radiating off of her body, as though fire lived in her blood. Which, technically, it did. For she was the Fire Bearer. She controlled fire, she started fires, and stopped them if she so felt like it. And if anyone were to attack her, they would meet the flame.

Her hair was still as black as ever, maybe even blacker, but was a good 7 inches longer. Her eyes were no longer brown, they were red. Not red such as a demon‘s, but more of an orange red, such as a fire. she was now almost as tall as InuYasha, but still would have about 3 inches to go to get to his height. Her robes were of the fire rat, but were not as coarse as InuYasha, they resembled silk more then anything. They were also a red-orange such as her eyes, and fit her curves perfectly to where they would have any man drooling.

Though, under all this majestic ness, she was still Kagome, the school girl from the future, though she hadn't been home in a couple of months, and knew she would never be allowed to go home again. She was older now, she was almost nineteen, and had "died" over three months ago.

She was coming upon it now, the campsite where her old friends were staying. She did not have enhanced smelling or hearing like InuYasha, but she could sense everyone who was there. There was Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, and... ah, yes there he was... her murderer. But there was another, and it seemed familiar. It seemed like, like... her. She thought a while longer, and then realized, it was Kikyo.
She leapt into a tree on the outskirts of the clearing that they were set up in. After a few moments she realized that it might be a bit before they noticed her, so she diverted her
gaze to the moon.

In the campsite

InuYasha just sat there, not paying attention to what Kikyo was saying as she blabbered on. He never paid attention anymore. Since she had gotten her soul back, she had talked almost non-stop, and it was annoying. She would always laugh at whatever she had just said as if it was the funniest thing ever. God did that laugh get annoying. Whenever Kagome laughed he loved it, it was like music to his ears, but this, this was hell. 'Great, there I go, thinking about Kagome again. Look, you made your choice, now you have to stick with it. There's no turning back. I just wish I could hold her again. No, you've got Kikyo. Kikyo. If you want to hold anyone it's her.' He kept repeating to himself.

At this point he noticed an immense power nearby. He abruptly stood up which knocked Kikyo onto her ass as she fell from his lap.

"What the hell was that for?"

He just ignored her and looked into the trees in the direction of the power. Finally he saw a demoness standing in them, staring at the moon. But this wasn't any normal demoness, this was the Fire Bearer. He sent a Wind Scar at the trees and when the dust cleared there was no sign of her.

"Wow," he heard from behind him. He turned to find her standing in another tree still staring up at the moon. "You already killed me once, and now you plan on doing it again. Shame on you, InuYasha." And with that she jumped from the tree and landed right in front of him in a kneeling position. She stood up and looked at him as the hair feel out of her face.

He got a good look at the woman’s face and was amazed with the person he found standing in front of him. "Ka-Kagome?"
