Stressed

 

 

 

Darkness. This is what comforts the mind when it is tired. It slowly overtakes the heart and soul. It brings bitterness into the heart and eventually hate. Blue eyes watched the child sleep with confusion. The eyebrows furrowed leaving a face neither of anger or thought. If you looked closely, you wouldn't see anyone standing beside the bed. All you would see is a small boy around the age of eight sleeping. His reddish-auburn hair would be slightly frizzed, and his mouth would be open with a gentle snore.

 

If you looked closely, you wouldn't see the creature floating in the air with her legs cross. You wouldn't see the beautiful pearl colored feathers that lined her four wings. She tilted her head and reached down to touch the child. Her fingers brushed through him and he softly shivered at her touch. She wondered if her touch was cold because her soul was cold.

 

“Do we even have a soul?” Kagome mumbled to the sleeping child. So far, this child had been able to answer things she had never even given a second thought to.

 

“What is your fascination with this flesh?” An amused voice asked.

 

“Why are you here Inuyasha?” Kagome questioned as she studied the Fallen.

 

“I am here because Naraku is upset with you,” Inuyasha informed with a snicker.

 

“Are you amused with my predicament?” Kagome growled.

 

Inuyasha floated to the other side of the child and swatted at him. His hand went through the child.

 

“I don't see anything interesting with this Kitsune,” Inuyasha spoke.

 

“He has something we don't,” Kagome softly spoke.

 

“What is that?” Inuyasha questioned with a raised eyebrow.

 

“He has a soul,” Kagome whispered.

 

“Keh, why do we need something like that?” Inuyasha questioned.

 

“I…I don't know,” Kagome whispered with saddened eyes.

 

“Humans have souls, youkai have souls, but we are above a soul,” Inuyasha explained.

 

“Haven't you ever wanted to experience something like they do?” Kagome questioned.

 

“No, we're angels…fallen ones, but we experience things in ways they couldn't even comprehend,” Inuyasha said.

 

Kagome nodded in understanding. She had experienced things the `human' way. It had been during the time she had possessed a young boy. She had felt the betrayal and anguish he felt when his mother gave up hope on him. Kagome had felt those same things when `He' had closed the gates on them; it had felt as if someone had ripped her apart. Everything became dull and empty to the point of insanity.

 

“Still, I wish…”

 

“What do you wish?” Inuyasha softly questioned.

 

“It's nothing important,” Kagome wistfully sighed.

 

“Remember that Naraku wishes to see you,” Inuyasha mocked as he rolled his eyes.

 

“Whatever,” Kagome mumbled.

 

“I'm going to go head down to the water plant and see what mayhem I can cause,” Inuyasha said with a smirk.

 

“If you see Miroku, tell him I said hi,” Kagome whispered as Inuyasha vanished.

 

Kagome sighed and turned her eyes back to the child in the bed. He was sitting up and his emerald eyes were staring at her. Kagome floated over to him and sat on the bed. The bed remained the same as she sat there. The boy's eyes followed her and he smiled.

 

“What are you doing up?” Kagome questioned with a bit of worry.

 

“I couldn't sleep,” Shippo responded.

 

“Is it your dreams?” Kagome questioned.

 

“I keep seeing…seeing them die!” Shippo sobbed as he pulled the blankets to his eyes.

 

Kagome looked away in shame and felt something clench in her chest. She didn't know why she was constantly drawn to this child. Ever since that night, it was the night that she had first felt guilt. She had pushed the man to mug his parents and it went to far. Ever since that night, she had watched over Shippo. His face appeared in her mind every time she closed her eyes. She would constantly see herself floating above the mugger and looking over his shoulder at the two dead bodies. Her vision had then traveled to the little boy underneath the car.

 

His frightened emerald eyes would gaze at his parents still forms. The shock of it all delayed his tears. She would see that broken look on his face; that lost look. Kagome would then watch as the mugger pointed the gun at Shippo's shocked face. Before she could do anything, she felt anger. She had plunged her hands into the mugger's chest and squeezed his heart like lemon.

 

“Shippo,” Kagome whispered to him, “you're safe now.”

 

“Do you…do you think so?” Shippo questioned as he watched her appear. Her form was like a soft mist that chilled the room.

 

“I know that man will watch over you…they seem like good youkai,” Kagome assured with a bit of hesitation.

 

“You'll be with me…won't you?” Shippo questioned as his tears dried.

 

“Always,” Kagome softly promised.

 

`Maybe I am drawn to him out of guilt,' Kagome reasoned.

 

Shippo lay back down and snuggled under the blankets. Kagome smiled as she watched his emerald orbs close. Her eyes traveled to the bedroom door when she heard it creak open. The door creaked closed and she frowned. She would not settle for anything less then a safe environment for this boy. Kagome glanced at Shippo and made sure he was asleep before she floated through the wall and followed the man she had healed.

 

“Was he up?” Kagome heard a smooth voice question.

 

Her eyes landed on the one with the red hair. His emerald eyes shined with curiosity as his friend shrugged. The red head wore a magenta colored school uniform. Kagome floated around him and allowed her hands to float above his shoulders. She could feel darkness, but it was fading. Kagome rolled her eyes and floated to the one that had captured her interest.

 

“I heard him talking, but he looked asleep,” the bat youkai assured as he cracked his knuckles.

 

“Kuronue, are you sure?” The red head asked.

 

“Positive Kurama,” Kuronue responded.

 

Kagome sighed as she studied Kuronue. He had indigo eyes and black hair that contrasted against pale skin. Kagome's eyes landed on the wings and she raised an eyebrow in interest. Her blue eyes studied the leathery wings with interest. She had seen other creatures with wings, but his were interesting. Some of the Fallen had wings like his, their feathers had fallen, and they turned in malicious creatures of destruction. They were the ones that Naraku had locked up. He only released those ones when he wanted a war to start.

 

“What did the hospital say about the boy?” Kurama questioned.

 

“His name is Suzuki Shippo, and he's an orphan,” Kuronue provided.

 

“Suzuki,” Kurama repeated in thought.

 

“Sound familiar?” Kuronue questioned.

 

“Very,” Kurama answered as he searched his mind.

 

“The hospital called an orphanage and is going to try and find any living relatives,” Kuronue added as he reached for a pop.

 

“I think he may be the kit of Suzuki Nakamura,” Kurama spoke in thought.

 

`Don't bring up the past,' Kagome thought with growl.

 

“I think I met his soul in Reikai,” Kuronue stated in shock.

 

“The Suzuki family was killed once they came out of the place they held Shippo's party,” Kurama remembered as Kagome frowned at him.

 

“Why didn't they put the kid in an orphanage?” Kuronue questioned.

 

“He ran off,” Kurama answered.

 

Kuronue nodded in understanding as he pulled a knife out of the drawer. He then grabbed the sushi roll and handed both to Kurama. The bat then walked back to the fridge leaned against it.

 

“Do you think we should just drop him off at the orphanage?” Kuronue questioned.

 

Kagome scowled and floated over to where Kurama was. He picked up the knife and Kagome smacked it from his hand. His eyes widened as he watched it pin itself into the fridge next to Kuronue's ear. Kagome snickered as she watched their faces pale. Kuronue turned his face to the knife and paled even more. Kurama studied the room with a skeptic look.

 

“That was no accident,” Kurama firmly said.

 

“I could tell,” Kuronue said as he reached up to take the knife handle.

 

“What did that woman that ran off tell you?” Kurama questioned.

 

“She told me to watch the boy, or else I forfeit my life,” Kuronue casually informed.

 

“Then you have no choice, you must keep the boy,” Kurama spoke as Kuronue pulled the knife form the fridge.

 

“Are you kidding? You know she had to be a nobody,” Kuronue said as he tossed the knife in the sink.

 

“That was Kagome, and she is unarguably a somebody,” Kurama seriously said.

 

“You really believe that she's some angel?” Kuronue questioned with a grin.

 

“She's a Fallen one, we don't know how, but we just know that she and millions more of her kind exist,” Kurama warned.

 

“I don't believe that,” Kuronue sighed as he picked up his pop.

 

Kagome rolled her eyes at the bat and frowned. The poor youkai didn't know that he was challenging her. Kagome grinned as she floated over to him and placed her hands on his wings. They softly shivered from her cold touch. Kagome leaned over his shoulder so she was next to his ear.

 

“Do you smell roses?” Kurama questioned.

 

“I thought you kept your plants outside,” Kuronue responded as he felt a chill.

 

“I do,” Kurama stated.

 

“Better believe batboy,” Kagome whispered into his ear.

 

“What the hell!” Kuronue shouted as he heard soft giggles.

 

“What's wrong?” Kurama questioned with an amused smile.

 

“I thought…never mind,” Kuronue sighed in defeat.

 

Kagome floated behind Kurama and made faces at the two boys. She thought it would be fun to make fun of them. It had been awhile since she had properly tormented anyone. She could make room in her busy schedule for the two. This would also assure her that the bat was taking care of Shippo. Kagome floated over to Kuronue and ran her hand down his wing. He jumped and his indigo eyes searched the room.

 

“What is it?” Kurama asked; he had a feeling that he knew what was wrong.

 

“I thought I felt a hand touch my wing,” Kuronue answered.

 

Kurama stood up with a grim smile. He walked over to his friend and placed a hand on his shoulder. Kuronue raised an eyebrow at this action.

 

“I believe you've attracted the attention of a certain demon,” Kurama said with a look of sympathy.

 

 

 

Kagome entered Shippo's room and sighed as she took a glance at his form. She flew out their apartment window and gazed at the city around them. The city had become a sight she had become used to. She soared through the air feeling for the right person. Kagome landed on a building and glanced at the Fallen sitting on the edge. The angel's two wings ruffled at her approach. Kagome grinned when she felt a spike in the angel's energy; it proved she was nervous. The angel turned toward her and their gazes clashed.

 

“Why are you so far from your master Kagura?” Kagome questioned.

 

Kagome watched as she turned her crimson gaze back to the city below them. Her wings had a silver tint to them. Her short black hair was held up in a high ponytail with two feathers in them. Kagome watched as the angel scowled briefly, her pink robe ruffled in the wind.

 

“Naraku is not my master,” Kagura firmly said.

 

“I thought he was…weren't you the first one to follow him?” Kagome calmly questioned.

 

“I was the first fool,” Kagura growled.

 

“Some may not view you as a fool,” Kagome warned knowing that loyalties were greatly divided. If push came to shove, Kagome had loyalty to herself and no one else.

 

“But I am a fool despite the others twisted views…they have allowed the emotions of these fleshy beings to cloud their actions. I have not…even though I know I am lost. I will not succumb to the flesh and be a fool,” Kagura announced.

 

“Bravo,” Kagome mocked with soft clap. Kagura's eyes turned to Kagome and scrutinized her.

 

“I see you have become weak,” Kagura mumbled as Kagome bristled.

 

“My power has grown,” Kagome stated.

 

“Not your power…but this,” Kagura whispered as she moved her hand to her heart.

 

“You forget…I have no heart,” Kagome sharply reminded.

 

“We all have a heart…even if we can't see it, but I can see it. I can see the little boy that you watch,” Kagura informed as Kagome's features darkened.

 

“Watch yourself,” Kagome warned.

 

“I see his emerald orbs, his reddish-auburn hair, and his soft flesh,” Kagura assured.

 

“There is no one in my heart, because I need no one,” Kagome angrily stated.

 

“I know the truth for I was created to read what was in the heart and soul,” Kagura reminded as Kagome snorted.

 

“Then why did you follow Naraku?” Kagome questioned.

 

“Because what he believed was the truth in his heart,” Kagura whispered.

 

Kagome scoffed and took to the air; dealing with that woman was tiring. She had forgotten that Kagura could read the truth in the heart and soul. Kagome glanced behind her and saw that the angel had vanished. Kagura was rarely seen; the angel had fallen into sorrow and vanished. Kagome wondered if all of them were to go mad. A shiver made her renew her effort to find the creature that she sought. He could help her figure out everything that going on.

 

 

 

Naraku glared at the angel that flew past him without notice. He had tired of her growing attitude. Naraku turned toward Kanna with a stoic look. Her black eyes held nothing as she watched her master's crimson eyes spark with hate.

 

“Release Goshinki,” Naraku commanded.

 

“Goshinki,” Kanna repeated as she simply flew off.

 

Naraku grinned as he watched Kagome flip in the air and fly down towards the park. His fist clenched as she met up with Miroku. His teeth gritted together, Miroku had been the only one not to succumb to his false promises. His growl turned into a soft chuckle as his crimson gaze landed back on Kagome. All the fallen angels in the world didn't matter when he had her down her with him. He knew that their `mighty leader' would mourn her fall.

 

“Precious Kagome,” Naraku mocked.

 

Yes, it would really hurt him when she would lead the attack. Naraku chuckled as he vanished from the area. He didn't even want to be around when Goshinki was released.
