- Dreams -
Stars filled the infinite black sky. Suns and planets of all sizes and shapes fill its vast immensity and at the same time give the idea of being full, when it's almost empty. At those moments persons understand the wonder of creation and how small they really are. Near a beautiful blue planet surrounded by its moons of different sizes and shapes was a small spaceship that floated surrounding it.
The small spaceship was covered in a beautiful silver color. Its design makes it looks incredibly fast but very vulnerable. The cockpit was surrounded by windows and anyone was able to see its interior. Since it was just floating, darkness filled it but a figure could be seen. A very young man sited on the front, who's only brilliant golden eyes, could be seen.
He was sited without anything to do… just staring at the immensity that surrounded him floating without a direction. Just… there. Watching, like he was expecting something or someone. Finally the silence was interrupted by a beep that could be heard in the tiny ship.
He pressed lazily a button in front of it, and a blurry screen appeared, though only the voice could be heard.
Inuyasha? The female voice said.
Oi… he answered lazily.
Where have u been? We've been worried sick about you!
Keh! You found me already right? So what's the problem?
...I… the voice cracked a little. Are you ok?
Yes… he answered. I'm fine, just tired that's all.
Why haven't you come back? The voice said.
I have no more energy. This baby is tired too.
Inuyasha heard a sigh. We'll come to take you. Don't move from were you are.
Keh. It won't move anyway so I wouldn't worry about that.
All right. The voice said in an ending tone. The golden eyed boy closed his eyes thinking the conversation was over. Inuyasha? The voice said again.
Hmmm. He said without opening his eyes.
I'm glad you're all right. After that, the communication finished.
He opened his eyes again, and smiled. A small smile. He felt better now. However he lifted his hand and stared at it with sad eyes.
It' still smells. He said. And closed his eyes again.
*************
Far away from there in a small once green planet everything was devastated. Smoke came from all directions covering the sky in black clouds. The forests and cities were totally destroyed leaving nothing behind. Just burned corpses, rivers and seas tinted in the red of blood.
A young man with a long braid on his back and penetrating red eyes was staring standing on the side of a cliff. He was covered in a black cape and looked annoyed. He was just there, unmoving, until steps behind him interrupted his staring. He turned back to reveal a handsome but sadistic and evil face.
Big brother!! Said the other one. The other was ugly without hair on his head and the face of a fish.
What is it Manten? He said in a bored tone.
Brother Hiten. Reports indicate that there was only one survivor.
And? Hiten said.
Well he just babbled something about "he's not human, he's not human" that's all he said. Said the fish face
He?? Does he mean this was done by only one person?
Seems like it. The younger man said.
Humph. The other said. I never thought we could see this kind of power without the power the emperor gives.
Yes… the power to destroy lands. I thought that only…
Don't mention it Manten. Hiten said with a cold voice.
Manten didn't say anything more. A beep sounded from and Hiten took out a communicator.
Yes? He said without emotion.
Sir, the fleet has been destroyed too. The voice in the other side said.
WHAT?!! How can that be? Are there any clues? He said rising his voice more than normal. Manten stepped back frightened.
No sir. It's strange but it looks like none of the fleet attacked back. It was like they were destroyed by a ghost.
Shit!
What do you think big brother? Said Manten now a little scared.
Onigumo won't like this. Hiten said between theets. Let's go. He said in an ending tone.
They walked away leaving in view a valley full of destroyed machines, tanks and burned corpses.
***************
Far away from there in a small planet completely surrounded by a huge metallic structure. A space station they call it. It was big and ugly and covered the sun for the people in the planet. The "pizza" they called it because of the shape of it... But in these times even the sun had to be paid. However in the inside of the station was another story.
An entire city with all kinds of people, humans and youkais living together. Buildings that went all the way up towards a glass ceiling that let people see the stars. Green parks, lakes and rivers completed the entire place. It was ironic that this "pizza" was an even better place to live than the once green planet under it. Rumors once said that it was like that because the planet was invaded by an evil being sealed under it's now dark skies. However none of the inhabitants of the place knew about such being.
Rumors. That's all they were.
However in one of the biggest buildings a girl was staring at the sky. She was beautifully and richly dressed. Her azure eyes shone with innocence and intelligence and her long black hair went all the way to her ankles. Her eyes showed that she was a dreamer. (AN: yeah I like long hair. So what? My sis hair almost reached her knees and I always loved it, so sue me)
Miss Kagome. Said a voice behind her.
She smiled and answered looking at the one who talked. A pretty girl with very short brown hair and warm smile, dressed in servant clothes.
Yuka!! Said Kagome cheerfully.
Miss Kagome are you all right? You've been here a long time.
Hmm. She nodded. Yes. I am. I just… she turned back to see the stars in all their glory. I just… love the space. Don't you?
I… said Yuka shyly.
Come here, said the blue eyed girl. Come and stay whit me for a while. After hearing this Yuka walked to her side slowly and began staring at what Kagome was looking. She was right, she thought. The sky was beautiful.
Hey Yuka… Kagome said
The girl answered by turning her head to her and smiled. They were good friends even thought she was a servant and the blue eyed girl was a princess.
What are your dreams? She asked with hope in her voice.
That was a question Yuka wasn't expecting. Well… she said shyly...
Don't be shy, Kagome reassured her. You can tell me.
I… I guess I never thought of that before.
I see… Kagome said leaning her arms on the balcony
And you miss?
Stop calling me miss Yuka… you are my friend don't forget that, she said twitching her nose a little.
Sorry.
No need to worry, she said cheerful again. My dream, my dream.
I wish to touch the stars. She said it simply.
Touch… the stars? Yuka asked not convinced of what she heard.
Hmmm… nodded Kagome while turning back walking slowly. These times are so advanced and different races grew on prosperity and technology. However… she said closing her eyes. Yuka only stared at her curious.
Kagome opened her eyes again and lifted her gaze again. We are trapped. The sky is so close, just there, and we can't reach them, we are too limited. We have battleships, spaceships, everything… but none is capable to do so…
But there are ships that can do that. Yuka said matter of factly.
Are they really Yuka? Those things are limited too, they need fuel, hundreds of people controlling their movements, can't go everywhere. They are limited too. I wish… I wish to extend my arms and feel like I'm flying completely free like a bird under a blue sky. She said while opening her arms and making circles in the place they were standing.
I… I don't understand
Don't you imagine it Yuka? Don't you imagine someone who can go anywhere any time he wants, any way he wants? Just being everywhere and being nowhere at the same time. That's my wish. She said smiling again.
Yuka nodded.
But… Kagome said again with a sad expression. Many people are sad, many are suffering. The empire has destroyed so many people lives.
Kagome… Yuka said worried
Even my father… he abides himself under Onigumo grasp to keep us safe. Giving away his dignity and the dignity of our people. It's so sad…
I… Yuka said more worried than before.
You know… I'm just a dreamer… I always had the hope of someone appearing and bringing them down. It was better when the galaxy was divided, like countries of a nation. Now everything is just a dictatorship with no freedom.
Kagome walked to see below her the city. You know… she continued. Under here is a planet covered in darkness… because of this space station. The people under there are suffering too. And we can't do a thing about it. We can't do anything. And the people who are against him are scattered and fight among themselves.
Miss… I… I'm sorry. Yuka said without knowing what else to do.
Don't be. Kagome said now smiling but with unshed tears in her eyes. We can't do a thing and we will always live like that won't we?
Miss… I think it's better if we go inside. Yuka said firmly. And began to walk to the inside.
Hmm. Yeah. Kagome said and began walking too. But she turned back at the sky and said in her mind.
Someday… she said with a sad smile.
*******************
Inuyasha had his arms crossed and his eyes closed. He still couldn't be seen and the ship was still floating with no direction. He was sleeping and dreaming.
Darkness, Shadows, a Memory:
He was young and happy with a woman whit long hair and warm smile. At her side was an older version of himself watching proudly as he played with a tiny ball. His parents. How he missed them
Darkness, Shadows, a memory.
He was being carried on his father shoulders running all the way in the city. They were playing and people stared at them with strange looks, but he didn't mind. He was happy.
Darkness, Shadows, a memory.
His mother was combing his hair. That day was the first time he heard it. They called him "hanyou" what did that meant? He didn't know.
Mother? He asked in his tiny and timid voice.
Yes, Inuyasha? She asked in a motherly tone
What is a hanyou? He asked full of innocence.
His mother stopped. She lean and hugged him from his back and started to cry.
Mother? He asked again. Why are you crying?
Darkness…
A noise interrupted him. He opened his eyes without moving. "A dream" He said, putting his hand over his face "why the heck I am dreaming these things now I wonder?"
The noise got louder and louder. It was over him and a huge shadow covered his little ship completely. The communicator came back to life again not with the same voice from before but a more innocent girly but annoying voice.
Inuyasha? Inuyasha!! I know you're there why don't you answer? Inuyasha!!!
Hey Rin… he said lazily.
Ahh!!! So you are there!! Why did you do that? How's my baby? Tell me, tell me now!!!
Shut up, you're too loud and too annoying. He said without emotion. The Izayoi is fine. Thanks for asking how I am by the way.
Shut up!! I'll have your neck if something happened to it! We weren't finished with it yet!!
I know, I know. I just had to do it now.
Geezz, Inuyasha why are you like that? We'll get you in now.
All right and hurry, cause I'm as bored as hell. And with that he cut the communication. However it opened again and a simple word was heard.
JERK!!! It was the last thing the communicator said before the young man slammed his fist on it. "It was ok at least" he said with a grin that showed his teeth's.
Now a full view of the "shadow" that appeared could be seen. It was a giant dark red spaceship. It moved gracefully in the endless sky. It was long with the front in the shape of a shark mouth the same as its sides. The cockpit that was at the top of it let everyone who was there staring at the endless space, and had a strange symbol at its side. In giant letters was written "Ragnarok" at its side.
An entrance opened and the ships were Inuyasha was in got into the giant ship. Long mechanical structures could be seen moving and closing the once entrance giving it a very impressive look.
Finally the little ship landed and Inuyasha was able to get out. The light surrounding him was uncomfortable at first but he adjusted himself and now he could be seen. He had a long black trench coat, boots and gloved hands. His clothes were all tight red and his long silver hair was tied in a low ponytail. On the top of his head were two strange looking ears that twitched each time he heard a sound. To complete his appearance he had an ancient looking sword at his belt. However something was different.
He was covered in a bad looking brown thing. It smelt. It stank.
Without saying a word he walked towards his room letting the small ship there abandoned. A few seconds later a young girl not older than 12 years appeared running, panting. She was dressed in work clothes and had a hat on her head. INUYASHA!!! She screamed with all her might.
Were you? Where are you!!! What have you done to my ship!! WHERE ARE YOU INUYASHA!!!!! She screamed at the top of her lungs, but no answer was received.
***************
Inuyasha was far away from there taking a shower. The water dripped over his body and hair cleaning everything away. His eyes closed relaxing. Without a care in the world.
Was it like that?
Images plagued his mind. Dead corpses, destruction surrounded him, and most of all everything was done by his own hands. He hated it.
Was it another way?
No
It had to be like that. It was the only path and the only choice he had. Those people in that place did that to him… they had to pay.
Then why did he felt so empty inside? Was it because revenge didn't satisfy enough? Was there need from something more?
He had no idea.
He hated it. It was like being alone in the vastness of the universe fighting a one man war against everything.
Was he really only one man? Was he really completely alone?
Was he?
Yes.
An existence not a youkais neither a human. Nor another of those sub races the taijija and the barbarians.
He was nothing. A mix that was never meant to be born. Once he was told that he was the most unique being in existence. However. That didn't change anything. He was the same as it will always be.
Did he have a place?
That was the problem. He didn't know. Sure he had friends, and people who supported him. But it wasn't the same.
Nothing helped. He was lonely.
Then why? Why he was fighting now? Did he really want that for himself? It was easier that than trying to find a place in creation.
A pitiful hanyou that's what he was. Who cared about him? Who cared if he dies?
No one would. It was ok to die…
Was it?
Thoughts like that plagued his mind for a long time while receiving the blessing of water on his body. Finally deciding it was enough he turned off the water and got out. He dressed again, now this was something familiar. Something that always makes him feels right at home. The robe of the fire rat. He was so used to have it but now he didn't wanted to use it.
Why?
He didn't know… it was just that he didn't want it to have that "smell" all over itself.
That robe reminded him of home. Of his mother and father. Of happy times.
Now fully dressed and with his long hair wild and free he was sited on a bed in a small room. Small but well decorated and very simple. However it had a huge window were you could see everything outside. He was sitting there, staring with just a little light illuminating. Not even a true electric light but a simple candle. He always liked to see the fire that came from a candle. The shadows that took shape reminded him of all type of childhood fantasies. However it had an effect he didn't know. His face got surrounded by a mystical light which gave him a strange look. His eyes reflected the irregularities of the fire like a mirror. A soft sound was heard. Steps. Someone was into the room. He turned his face to greet the visitor.
I… I brought you some food. It was a woman voice.
Thanks. He said with a soft smile.
Are you ok? She said with a worried tone.
Yeah.
I'm glad. We didn't know what happened to you after you went there.
You don't know anyway Kikyou… he said with a hint of sadness.
What? The owner of the voice said. And she could be seen. She was a beautiful young woman with porcelain doll features. White snowy skin and gray eyes unreadable. Long black hair all the way to her waist covered her back. She was dressed in simple white and red attire that gave her a mystical air. Her resting clothes as she called them.
Nothing. He added later after a bit of silence.
Ok… she said not really sure about what his silence meant.
She began walking away but stopped at the door.
Inuyasha? She said
Hmm… he asked
I'm glad you're all right. Don't do that again.
Thank you. After that just the click of the door closing.
Outside Kikyou lean herself on the door. Closing her eyes she exhaled. She was glad. He was all right. She finally was calm.
But Inuyasha was a different story. He only stared at the food the girl brought him without feeling the need to eat. He had a sick feeling on his stomach.
He took his hand and examined it again.
Damn it. The smell doesn't goes away.
The smell of blood doesn't goes away…
Damn it all.
End episode 1.
Author notes:
Yeah well this is the 3rd version of the moonwalker. I hope it's better than the others because they were doomed to extinction. I hope you like it and enjoy. And review please. ^^ you know it's my first story uploaded here.
Yeah Kikyou. I'm a psycho bout love triangles so expect it a lot. Not only with Kagome but other girls on the picture. Just keep in mind something. This will have a lot of tragedy. And I'm sure most people will like that. Just have faith. U'll like the end result believe me.
This set place in the space if you haven't realized. All the Inuyasha characters will appear, even the shishinin Tai, Kouga, ayame… heck even hobo wimp will appear too.
The story will be divided in 2 or 3 arcs of around 9 chapters each. Who knows but my idea is that it reaches from 25 to 27 chapters. It depends if I keep it going. I hope I do because it took a lot of effort to make it. It's up to you.
And like all other authors here… pretty please read and review. I'd love to know ur opinions. Even bad ones. No flames cause simply I overlook them. I found people who only can insult behind a screen annoying. What you don't have a life were you can do it with your friends or something? Go outside then!! The world is big and precious!!
Oh yeah I'm looking for beta readers. Someone interested??
Anyway till next time. See ya all.
