Buddhist Wisdom
By day shines the sun;
by night, the moon;
in armor, the warrior;
in jhana, the Brahmin.
But all day & all night,
every day & every night,
the Awakened One shines
in splendor.

Chapter Three
Awakening
***************************************
Droplets gently slithered down the delicate flesh of there backs clumping the sand where it fell, as the metal stabbed into them.
The heat didn't help. Instead it the sun blazed in all its glory, roasting any unprotected flesh on the spot.
Kagome and Rin were forced to kneel upon the burning, chaffing skin. Sweaty knitted brows and dark smudges marred there priceless beauty, though did nothing to stop the anger from showing through. Looking up both of them squinting in the harsh light from the sun, looked upon three burly, butt ugly men; swords pointed directly at their throats.
`How are we ever going to get out of this' Rin desperately pondered, wracking her brain for a plan. Though Kagome beat her to it.
Staring straight into the biggest and the ugliest, mans brown eyes, she smirked. She refused to bow down to some dirty low life, and had no qualms about challenging his power.
But, all of a sudden, a look of surprise passed over the hideous features of the men in front of them, one word no name, whispered across there lips “Kikyou . . .”
Kagome could not help but sweat drop in confusion. “Kikyou? Who in the hell is Kikyou?” she asked. Already this perked Rin's interest and as an idea came to her mind.
“Yes, Kikyou. Who else do you think she is?” asked Rin, her vicious temper evident.
“M' lady please forgive us, we beg of you, please do not have us executed!” they all cried.
Weapons dropped next to them as they bowed in front of Kagome.
“Just tell us where to find the next town, and we will spare you” demanded Kagome catching on to Rin's insidious plan.
So after figuring out where to go, Kagome and Rin demanded two camels from the group, and off they rode.
***************************************
“Damn we were lucky back there” admitted Kagome
“Hell ya!” agreed Rin, “Though, I am curious as to who this Kikyou chick is”
“Ya me to, though, we got no time for that look there” said Kagome as she pointed off into the distance.
There in the distance, was the exact same white limestone temple from before. The only difference was that it was much newer looking.
Unable to contain there excitement, they urged their tan camels through the sand only to come to a raging halt in front of the temple.
Slowly they crept through the large wooden doors, into the vast chamber beyond. Inside the chamber, torches were lit along the walls, and the floors were clean, it also looked lived in with a futon in the far right hand corner and all the stuff piled towards one wall. And a mysterious room they hadn't seen before was right beside the futon. ; But nevertheless, it was the exact same. Except for one major thing.
As curious as they are, Rin and Kagome retraced the same route they had before, except when they entered the library, on a pinned to a pillar by an arrow through his chest, was the most handsome man Kagome and Rin had ever seen. Assuming him to be dead, they crept quietly closer. Dazzled by his glistening silver hair and curious dog ears.
Twitch.
Twitch.
Kagome's hand began to twitch in desire to touch those precious ears. “No Kagome” whispered Rin, “have some respect!”
“But they look so soft” Kagome whispered back. Blatantly ignoring her friends' request she reached out and touched the ears, relishing in the silky softness of the fur covering them.
Sighing Kagome eventually stopped rubbing his ears, only to realize they weren't cold. Touching his ears again, she felt they were warm and but couldn't feel a pulse when she rested her long slender fingers on the silky skin of his neck. Quickly she quit touching and raced back towards he friend scream “HE ISN'T DEAD!!!!!!”
Rin couldn't believe her friend and tried to shush her. Only to no avail. So when she went and felt for his pulse, she did the exact same thing.
Rushing down the hallway back into the main room, a man barred the doors `OH SHIT!! WE ARE SO SCREWED!!!' crossed both of there minds as they came to a skidding halt.
The man in front of them looked to be about 25 dressed in a long white silk, priest robes. His black hair tied back into a short pony tail at the back of his head. And his violet eyes seemed to shine in . . . . kindness??
“My dears, please do not be afraid, I am just curious as to who you are” the man spoke, his voice smooth, too smooth.
“We are travelers and umm did you know you have a zombie like dude in the back??” Kagome replied he voice shaken from the incident.
“Oh, so I see you have met Inuyasha” the man could only nod his head in understanding. “Come sit down and relax, then we can talk.” He beckoned the two girls, and the reluctantly followed him to some chairs near the bed. He walked up to the mysterious room and entered, from within he dragged out three golden chairs, as so they could sit next to the window in the middle of the wall adjacent to the bed.
“So ladies, I assume you are not from around here” spoke the man
“How did you know” they both asked surprised
“Hmm let's see your clothes by chance?” replied the man laughing at the blushes they sported at there ignorance.
Unbeknownst to them the mysterious man seemed to edge closed and closer to the Kagome.
“First off man, let's start off with names” Kagome warned.
“Brilliant idea I'll start my name is ....” A loud slap permeated the area
“Hentai!!” Screamed the girls, as his hand was previously rubbing their buts.
“No” said the man from his place on the floor, sporting a two large hand prints on either cheek. “I was going to say Miroku.”
“Well I am Kagome and this is Rin” Kagome said pointing to herself and Rin.
“Well then girls, It is late, I suggest you stay the night” suggested the priest.
“Wait a minute, if you are a priest, HOW COME YOU ARE PERVERTED!!” screamed Rin.
“Well . . . it is this cursed hand” Miroku said, pointing to the unnoticed gloved and beaded hand. “My grandfather was cursed by the pharaoh, and it was passed down unto me.”
Sitting back down, their curiosity peeked again, they asked the inevitable “what is the curse and why did your grandfather get it?”
“Well, my grandfather was cursed by the pharaoh for accusing him as being a demon, bent on destroying and or taking over the world. So he was cursed with a wind tunnel in his hand, which eventually sucked him up. And then the curse passed unto my father, and then unto me. Though, my father ended the same way so it is inevitable.”
“That is so sad is there any way of getting rid of it?” Kagome asked
“Yes there is, but it would involve killing the pharaoh.” Saddened by his tale, he lowered his head and got up from his seat on the floor. “I will make your beds for you to stay the night.” He said before he entered the mysterious room
“Hey Miroku!” called Kagome
“Yes Kagome?”
“Who is that man in the back? And why is he pinned to a pillar with an arrow in his chest?” asked Kagome.
Walking out of the room dragging two futons and dragging them next to the other futon, he went over the girls and sat down.
“Alright then, you want to know about Inuyasha eh?”
“Hai!” they both cheered.
“Well then, Inuyasha was a great - and the only living - hanyou half-god of this time. He and my father - Otoko - used to live in this temple, and well we also had a priestess with us. Her name was Kikyou - and might I add, Kagome I just noticed you look strikingly identical to her except for your eyes, he eyes were an emty brown, but yours are a sparkling blue”
“Back to the story priest” threatened Kagome
“Right, Right, Anyway, well as you might of guessed Inuyasha and Kikyou began to fall in love, even though Inuyasha's relatives - the other gods - hated him for it he fell in love, and well Otoko was worried, because well, if he decided to marry her he would have to transform himself into a mortal. Which then he would be nothing, and they would be kicked out of the temple. He tried to tell him but he didn't listen to him.
Everything seemed to be fine until one night, when Kikyou came home very late. Inuyasha was distraught. He was pacing and nearly going berserk. So when she walked in that door” Miroku pointed to the large wooded door behind them to add emphasis, “Bombarded her. My father could see in her eyes, the fury, but he didn't and by the time he would listen it was too late. She had her bow drawn, and the arrow glowed with a faint pink light. It was a fierce battle, Inuyasha's heart forever broken, my father could see the tears in his eyes, and he couldn't do a think to help. She chased him back there and when she finally pinned him, she collapsed. Evidently when my father got there she had died due to the fatal wounds he had given her; but also Inuyasha was gone. Though he wasn't dead. He was put under a restraining spell that only she could break, and for 50 years, he has remained like that.”
“Oh my god, that is sad!” cried Rin.
“'Till this very day I am still curious as to what caused her to do that. Though in Inuyasha's diary it seemed she has been acting up for a while and this finally must have made him snap. But whatever it was we will never find out what. Now time for bed. `Night ladies, sweet dreams” and they all headed to bed, the mystery being pondered in their minds.
And in the back Inuyasha slept like always, unbeknownst to him his nightmare was gonna get worse.
***************************************
Late into the night, when the moon had long raised over head, the cresent moon glowing with all its might. Lighting up the dark room with a pale light.
A faint pink light flashed around Kagome, that illuminated through the room then disappeared. All of a sudden, she rose like she did before. The same robes fell upon her and her as she walked towards the sleeping Inuyasha. He it seemed called to her.
As Kagome got near, Inuyasha's body pulsed with a pink light, her eyes seem to glow as she reached for the arrow and as soon as her long slender fingers touched it, it disappeared in a flash of pink light and all that was left was pink sparkles.
Inuyasha's body pulsed, his heart beginning to beat again. Slowly he opened his eyes, his vision centered on Kagome, and attacked.
A scream dashed through the silence, waking the other two. A feral growl and matching snarl was soon heard after. “Oh shit. . .” whispered Miroku. And grabbing his sutras and staff, the loops on it jingling together. He ran towards the noise. Rin was too petrified to move, but got up and ran anyway.
Rushing upon the scene, Kagome was pinned in a corner by Inuyasha; a look of pure fear was spread across her face. Inuyasha's gaze turned to look at the onlookers and the sight made Miroku shudder; Inuyasha's eyes gleamed red with blue pupils. And two violet jagged streaks lined his cheek bones, and his claws were drawn to there full length, ready and willing to kill.
Inuyasha looked back towards his prey, and whispered in a harsh voice “Time to die Kikyou . . .” he spat out the name in disgust.
“I am not Kikyou!” was the last thing Kagome cried as Inuyasha's claws dashed through he shoulder, the precious blood, seeping into he clothing and dripping down upon the cold stone floor.
“No!” screamed Rin as the twisted Inuyasha began to laugh.
