InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Through The Mist ❯ Ch5 ( Chapter 5 )

Ch.5

 

I let out a muffled scream. My head flew the direction of the voice, the dead girl, Kikyou, I think, stood there! What kind of dream was this? I was talking too a dead person. I wanted to let out a louder scream but it seemed I lost my voice so I settled for a pathetic whimper. I would have fainted but the dream wouldn't let me. Stupid dream, I cursed. To my left stood the dead priestess. I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask, like why she was acting alive and how she knew my name, but my logical thoughts were more concerned about getting the hell out of there. Unfortunately, my legs wouldn't agree with me, as much as I urged them to. “Fool, it's my world, you can't run if I don't want you to.” The dead girl taunted. Then I realized I was both insulted and afraid. How dare she insult me like that! It was my dream! Then how come she said I couldn't run and every inch of my body agreed with her over me. Even after her warning I still attempted to run away. Nope, that didn't work there was no feeling in my legs.

 

I finally gave up. This wasn't getting me anywhere, plus she wasn't killing me yet so I decided to get to the bottom of things. She didn't seem amused by my tactics either, why not humor her and see why she was alive again. Most things like this don't happen without a reason. “Why did you kill Inuyasha?” I demanded angrily. Way not to anger the freaky lady, I chided myself.

 

She smirked making me angrier if that was possible. “Girl, I didn't kill him. I put him to sleep. Like he should be for the rest of eternity, but thanks to you he has been awakened.” I was confused, why should he be put to sleep, why didn't it kill him, why did he have dog ears and how did I awaken him, I don't remember this, she must have me mistaken with someone else, I thought to myself. I was about to interrupt to ask why he should have never woke up but my mouth wouldn't move. “Don't interrupt.” She said.

 

Okay, I thought, she can read minds now. I really didn't like her, even though she had made no move to harm me, she was creepy. “He was trying to steal the Shikon Jewel.” She read my thoughts again and said, “It's a jewel of immense power, strong enough to destroy this earth if its owner so wished. It can be used for either good or bad, depending on the wish made. For example, it could grant demons unlimited power, or it could turn them into a human. You and I are its protectors. When I died, they burned the jewel with my body. Now, it's been reincarnated into you.” She stated. I guess I am her twin in some sort of twisted way. “It's in your body. What you saw here is an important clip of history for your quest. You were destined to be a priestess, Kagome. You are the strongest priestess to walk the earth since I.” Cocky bitch, I thought before remembering she could hear me. I scoffed, she was giving me a cold stare, she seemed to do that a lot.

 

She was quiet for a while, finally I got the hint, I could speak again. “Why does he have dog ears!” I screamed, I was really freaked out, surprise, surprise, eh?

 

“That's right, the demons hide in your time.” She said calmly. I looked at her like she was crazy before bursting out laughing. She expected me to believe there were actually demons in our time. Then I noticed she wasn't laughing. This is insane, she's insane, this dream is insane, I thought to myself. I became terrified; I was ready to wake up any second now. “It's true.”

 

“No, it's not!” I screamed loudly, “Name one example of a demon in my time.” I retorted.

 

“Inuyasha,” She replied, I was starting to hate her voice. “How about Kouga, Hakkaku or Ginta?” It wasn't true; I refused to believe her.

 

“Demons do not exist! You're wrong!” I begged my legs to move but they refused.

 

“Since you don't believe me I won't try to convince you, but I will give you all the information you'll need. Inuyasha is a half-demon, he craves the jewel to become a true demon as I showed before.” She said.

 

“No, you're just trying turn us against each other! I refuse to believe you.”

 

“Believe what you wish, I am just telling you this so you can use it.” She said simply, “He craves the jewel which is now in your body. He will assumably try to get it from you using any possible way he can think of.” She was really creeping me out; I just wanted to wake up. “That's why he has ears on his head. Along with those features he has razor sharp claws, a sensitive nose, phenomenal seeing, and uncanny strength and speed.”

 

“You never explained why you shot him!” I cried out. That was cruel, if she was so powerful and holy as she said, she couldn't have just made him a human and sent him to jail?

 

“Yes, I did. He tried to steal the Shikon no Tama.” She told me as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. “Besides, it is in the past, nothing either of us can do now.”

 

“Exactly how far in the past?” I questioned, it wasn't really relevant but I wanted to know.

 

“Five hundred years or so.” She shrugged. I suppose she didn't really care either. It was funny, five minutes ago I was bursting with questions, now I was just in shock. I wouldn't be surprised if my mouth was agape.

 

“Well, he can't be dead since I supposedly awaken him in 500 years, how did you do that?” I asked.

 

“With my purifying powers, you'll probably gain them eventually, with enough practice. It's a shame you haven't harnessed your powers yet, they would be useful in the downfall of Inuyasha.” She said. She just didn't get that I didn't despise Inuyasha and that I wasn't out to kill him, I mean this was just a dream.

 

“I won't kill him.” I said. I guess she didn't figure that comment worthy of a reply because she just stood there looking at me. “Anyway,” I continued wanting to get over the rocky subject, “How did I awaken him?” I demanded, I was still at a loss about that, I think I would have remembered if I woke up some guy with silver hair from a tree.

 

“Do you remember that arrow you pulled out of the tree no one else could see? Part of our priestess powers gives us the ability to cover up our work so that only other strong priestesses can see, like you for example. He was hidden back then because I put more power into the arrow then into subduing him, since the arrow was the stronger point of the attack and I didn't have enough power since I was so wounded to actually kill him. You weren't strong enough at such a young age without any training to be able to see his body though now you would probably be able to. When he was released from his imprisonment his body was transparent while his body began to become less stiff. In other words his body was trying to recuperate from the arrow and the consequences of time. Though his body aged little to none from in the time he was sealed.” She said smoothly.

 

I took a moment to absorb all this new information; this was nonsense, all of it, yet somehow it kept me entranced. She would have made an excellent storyteller, her lies were flawless and it was as though she spoke the truth. But then again, I thought to myself, remembering the centipede lady, she was not human. Plus she had been ranting about some jewel; maybe it wasn't a coincidence.

 

“Our time is almost up for tonight.” She spoke, her voice calm and smooth, “But before it is over I must tell you, since there is no priestess strong enough to train you in your day and time I will begin to train you in your dreams. Therefore you shall need at least eight hours of sleep so you can successfully become a powerful miko.” She said coolly.

 

I began to laugh, the chances of me having a dream even remotely like this were low, even the chances of me remembering the dream were low. But I just nodded, “Alright Kikyou,” I said, saying her name for the first time, “I'll play your game.” I smiled sheepishly at how stupid that sounded but she didn't answer.

 

“Also, I doubt that Inuyasha will hurt you so stay near him.” She didn't seem to get that I didn't hate his guts, oh well, I thought to myself. “Perhaps later you will see what a horrible thing he is.”

 

That just went too far. “So what! If he isn't a person that just makes him different! Being different doesn't make you evil!” I screamed. I don't know why she just pushed my buttons.

 

“Maybe when you see how evil he really is, perhaps you'll be strong enough to purify him. If not maybe you'll have gained his trust so that you'll be able to stay with him until you're strong enough. Farewell Kagome, see you in your dreams.” She said. I couldn't tell if that was a poor joke or she was just commenting she didn't seem like the type to joke.

 

As she spoke those words my body began to feel fuzzy as though I was being torn in two, then my body began to feel as though I was floating. I squeezed my eyes shut and I began to feel tired, I slowly drifted off into a peaceful slumber, which made no sense since I was asleep, but I was exhausted and I soon fell asleep. The last sight I saw was Kikyou walking away into the bush to do god knows what.

 

A/N: All right, sorry I wasn't feeling that inspired for this chapter, it was kind of boring just explaining things. Anyway I want to give a big thanks to the amazing Nicka who decided to baeta for me. THANK YOU!!!^_^
