Eloquent Passion

Chapter 1 :: Genesis

Kagome moved hurriedly down the sidewalk; puffs of her breath visible in the air. A quiver of securely wrapped arrows and the store-bought bow slung over her left shoulder, her yellow backpack hanging heavily from the right.

Her archery practice for the school team had run later than expected, thanks to a emergency meeting for all members concerning the Fall city tournament that weekend at another school. It seemed their coach wanted her as their 100 meter archer, and even after a profusely long argument, he finally got his way; much to the dissatisfaction of the teen.

So much for taking it easy now that the shard hunt's over, she balked inside her mind, aggravated at being pressured in to the position like she had. If she had been any less of a person, she would have shot him right in the arse with her "Hawk eye's aim" and "Amazingly steady hand."

She came to a halt at the street corner, watching the cars whizzing by and silently urging the sign across the street to light up, and gleam "WALK," so she could go. It blared it's red "STOP" at her mockingly unwaveringly. Eyes flashing to the western sky, she groaned at the quickly setting sun.

Oh, mom's probably worried sick! She thought, bemoaned. And my Oden's getting cold, too!

Kagome shifted, the gi and Hakama enshrouding her form brushing against her chilled skin making her shiver. Wrapping her arms around herself, she made a face at the black and white attire, her zori sandals peeking out from beneath the hem of the fabric. She had been in such a hurry to get home, she hadn't even bothered to change back in to her school uniform. And, instead, had shoved the clothes in to her bag and swept out of the dojo like the very hounds of hell were on her heels. Looking at it now, it really made her wish she had taken the time to change.

She was absolutely freezing.

The light finally changed and Kagome jogged across the street, getting a few curious stares from passer-Byers, which she steadfastly ignored. Turning at another corner a little further ahead, she was finally on the last stretch of pavement where the Shrine steps began upwards to her home.

Smiling in relief, she quickened her pace, when a sudden wave of jyaki stopped her in her tracks. It was coming from a few blocks ahead, pulsing quickly in growing rage. Eyes flashing in disbelief, she froze; Animatedly, She spread her senses out to locate it, pinpointing four other aura's surrounding the enraged spirit.

A demon...? Here? She thought, incredulously. She'd only encountered one demon in this era before, and that was the Noh mask-- and that wasn't really even a demon. But what she was sensing now was an authentic demon's aura. No mistake.

Actually, She narrowed her eyes in concentration, focusing on the other four auras'. There were three other demons as well, only considerably better hidden from her spiritual awareness then the other. Accompanied with the three was a human, that of which had a high spirit level; Seemingly fighting alongside the three demons in battle.

That meant... humans that knew of demons existed in this era. Like her..

Curiosity engulfed her to make sure of these facts, to prove they weren't just a desperate figment of her imagination, hoping for some link to the past to have survived, but she held back. What if she was attacked? She couldn't very well fight freely in Tokyo without raising suspicion. Worst of all, that would be putting her family in danger.

What would I do then? Her conscious warned her. I'd never forgive myself.

She couldn't risk it, she decided.

Distributing her powers out further, she scoured the land for any other possible threats to her, before whirling to the painted red torii standing proudly about her when it didn't. Placing her fore and middle fingers upon the sleek wood, she murmured a protection spell softly under her breath and infused it with some of her spiritual energy to strengthen it. Looking in the direction of the warring demons once again, she turned, ascending the stone steps swiftly. Her mind reeling.

Well, that's it! Please tell me what you think! i.e. Review! (Yes, this chapter is kind of short.. I know.) Also, I should tell you-- This is a Conan Universe. The pairing will be Kurama/Kagome. And if at all confused now, things will work themselves out eventually!

Ja!
