Legendary Feelings and Battles

Chapter IV

 

Yusuke just stared at her wide eyed before he started laughing. "You've never heard of forbidden? Not even in all of your travels?" When she shook her head no, he sighed. "Take opposing elements for example. If the two came together, the result would be forbidden."

 

Kagome thought for a second before understanding dawned in her eyes. "I have heard that term used before, but it had nothing to do with an elemental."

 

"Who was it used against?" The hanyou asked curiously.

 

"Umm... someone."

 

Yusuke rolled his eyes. "Mind tellin us who?"

 

"Yes."

 

"Why do you mind so much?"

 

"First, I want you to tell me your views on those considered 'forbidden'." Now that she remembered how the term was used, she spat it out like it was venom.

 

"I don't really care what people are, so care to tell me now?"

 

"What's your views on forbidden Hiei?" She asked.

 

He gave her a look that could only mean 'you've got to be kidding'. "I do not care either."

 

"The term was used against me." That caught both of their attention and before they could ask, she elaborated. "I adopted Shippo and was adopted by Sesshou. I now have youki and some demon traits. The spell I use to hide them, however, turns me completely human. People called me forbidden because they considered me a miko youkai."

 

"That is a major contradiction..." Yusuke laughed. "A demonic priestess... I didn't think that'd be possible."

 

Kagome giggled. "Well here I am, so it is possible." Now she turned to him. "Why'd you ask me about being forbidden anyways?"

 

"Hiei's one."

 

"Huh?" Now she was confused.

 

Yusuke merely rolled his eyes at her. "He's half fire half ice demon."

 

"She did not need to know that detective." Hiei stated as he sent a cold glare at the man.

 

"Not like it matters." Kagome said with a shrug.

The young miko was currently packing what she figured she'd need. toothpaste, toothbrush, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, her black cat-suit, the armor, a few weapons, and some food. She changed quickly into her new fighting kimono and strapped her swords to her hips and put the daggers in place. Saying a quick returning spell on her quiver, she put a bundle of arrows in and slung it, along with her bow, across her back. Concealing spells were quickly placed upon all of her weapons as she pulled on a special bracelet.

 

She hadn't used it since Sengoku Jedai... she didn't have it during the final battle. All she had was her bow. Once she was done, she headed downstairs to the guys. Her hair was braided down her back and she looked beautiful. Even Hiei thought so as she descended the steps and moved towards them. Her beautiful braided raven hair swung around her hips, her rep lips seemed to pout as they begged to be kissed, and her beautiful blue-gray eyes seemed to shine brightly. She carried a pack in her arms. "Do either of you need anything before we go?"

 

"I do, Hiei doesn't. So is it ok if we stop at my apartment?" Yusuke asked as he tried to keep his eyes on hers.

 

Kagome noticed his problem and giggled. "That'd be fine... Is there something wrong Yusuke?"

 

"N-no." He said as his eyes snapped back up from viewing her breasts. "That outfit's a little form fitting, isn't it?"

 

"It makes it easier to move around in." She said with a shrug. "This way it's not in my way and it allows me better movement." A mischievous light was once again in her eyes. "It's also distracting for male opponents."

 

"I can see how." Yusuke commented as his eyes remained glued on her chest.

 

She smacked his arm and giggled at him. "Jeez, you're almost as bad as Miroku." At that, he gave her a cocky smirk and stood. Shaking her head, she followed him out the door with Hiei behind them.

It took maybe fifteen minutes for the group to reach the apartment. Yusuke quickly grabbed a bag and tossed a few things inside. Another few minutes and he appeared stating that he now had all he needed. Hiei opened a portal for them, and Yusuke started poking at it. "Is this thing safe?"

 

Rolling her eyes at him, Kagome walked through it. Calling out "would he have opened it if it weren't?"

 

The spirit detective grumbled as he followed after her with a smirking Hiei. They reached the other side to see her looking around in what appeared to be awe. "There's nothing that special here." Yusuke commented as he too looked around.

 

The girl turned to him with an odd look though. "It feels amazing here. Almost like this is home, like the Sengoku Jedai!" Her voice was laced with happiness and sounded dreamy.

 

"You sound like the demons who've been trapped in Ningenkai for a long time." Hiei stated as he looked at her happy form.

 

"Perhaps it's the youki I carry that makes me get this feeling then." Closing her eyes, she expanded her senses. Her body tingled as she came across massive amounts of youki. Her own aura pulled it back and into her, feeding off of it. Making her own grow. Both boys could only stare at her as they felt what she was doing. Soon her eyes slowly opened and they appeared hazy. "There's a lot of demons here."

 

"Duh! It's demon world Kags."

 

Pouting at the detective, she stuck her tongue out too. "Which part are we in anyways?" Her question was directed at Hiei as she turned to face him.

 

He gave a smirk as he replied "the central." Hearing Yusuke groan, the girl turned to him. She gave him a look that seemed to question 'what?'

 

"We're in my lands... which I've been avoiding."

 

"Why?"

 

"The toushin doesn't want to deal with Enki trying to pressure him to rule."

 

Yusuke looked up at his friend and glared. "You knew! That's why we're here!" The fire demon's reply was a smirk. "Asshole." Rolling her eyes, Kagome started heading west. Both guys noticed and moved to follow her. "Where we goin'?"

 

"West."

 

"Why?"

 

"Sesshoumaru."

 

"Who?"

 

Again, she rolled her eyes. "The western lord."

 

Both men stopped at that. "You know the western lord?"

 

Kagome turned to face both, as they had asked at the same time. "Hai. I knew him in Sengoku Jedai."

It was later that night, and they were currently camping out. Demons had yet to come anywhere near them, assumingly too afraid to face their group. More importantly, face two taiyoukai. They probably couldn't even feel her miko energy over them, especially since she was shielding most of it. Closing her eyes, she welcomed sleep. Knowing that she'd have more nightmares or talk to the ancient priestess once again.

 

And she was right. The moment sleep took her, she found herself in a field of flowers. In the middle stood Midoriko in her armor. Pure power radiated from her form as she looked up into the night sky. Kagome slowly made her way into the field, her bare feet not making a single sound as she approached. "Midoriko-sama."

 

The older miko turned as Kagome sunk into a low bow. "There is no need to bow daughter."

 

The younger miko straightened as she smiled up at the older miko. "It has been a few days since your last visit."

 

"Yes, I have news for you." The elder miko stated. "Your punishment, I intervened and changed things."

 

"Like what?" Kagome asked as she cocked her head to the side.

 

"There is an ancient prophecy, and it's about to come true."

 

The younger miko's eyes widened at that. "What prophecy?"

 

"There is a prophecy about a spiritual being, this being has powers that could rival the gods. There are two other beings with such power. The three beings will meet and have to join in order to save the world."

 

"Who are the three beings? Save it from what?" Worry shone through her beautiful blue gray eyes as she looked upon her ancestor.

 

"You are one of the three beings, and you must find the other two. One has been promised a mate, for he was lonely. He is also powerful. He has also been told he may need to share. You are to have two mates, my child."

 

Her eyes widened as she looked up at the older woman. "Two mates? But my punishment..."

 

"Is somewhat broken. The punishment laid out could not be carried on." A deep sigh left the older woman as she returned to gazing at the sky. "Long ago, before even I was born, a demon appeared on the lands. He held a legendary power, power enough to open the gates of hell."

 

"What happened?"

 

"It is a long story." Midoriko stated with a tired sigh. "For this story is one of the battles of legend."

 

"Battles of legend?"

 

"Hai. This demon's battle is legendary because of everything about it. Mostly because of the reason and the power. His power shook the Earth in it's entirety as he fought against the gods to save his love. They had torn them apart, proclaiming it a forbidden union."

 

"How was it forbidden?" Kagome asked. The story was rather interesting, and she had a feeling that the story held importance.

 

"The demon had fallen for a priestess. Her name was Hikari, meaning pure. His name was Gouka, meaning Hell Fire. She was pure and he was tainted. Born of heaven and born of hell. Their powers should have rejected each other, but they came together peacefully. Their souls intertwined.

 

Gouka always allowed his power to swirl around him, free and uncaged. When Hikari met him, she did the same. The gods found them and separated them out of fear. For a priestess and a demon to come together is forbidden. Gouka went after the gods, and he fought with all he had. In the end, they sealed him in the hell he created and died shortly afterward."

 

"Can I know the whole story?" Kagome asked as she looked into the older priestess' eyes. The older woman smiled and nodded as she began to tell the tale.

A young woman stood before an alter, praying to the gods. She was sixteen years old and one of the most sought after women in the village. Beauty and power, that's what made her up. A true priestess. The gods' purest creations. Her name was Hikari and she had snow white hair, emerald green eyes, and sakura pink lips. Her scent was that of sakura.

 

Suddenly she felt overwhelmed as a powerful aura was felt approaching the village. Moving quickly, she grabbed her weapons and raced to a clearing. Once she reached it, she released her power. It was a summons to the approaching youkai. Not ten seconds later did he appear. He was tall and handsome, with long dark hair and shining violet eyes.

 

Power cloaked him like a second skin, radiating in waves from his very being. He looked upon her with curious eyes as she allowed her own to take him in. "Why have you summoned me here?"

 

"You were headed to my village." She tried to state calmly.

 

"I merely wished a place to spend the night."

 

"A demon wishes to reside in a human village?"

 

"Only for the night." He replied. "I am not like most demons."

 

"How can I trust that you'll harm no one?"

 

"I can only give my word, lady priestess." Giving a slight bow, he continued to eye her. Awaiting her judgment.

 

And so she thought his request over. She could let him stay in the village and he might attack it later, or she could refuse him and he could still attack. Giving a tired sigh, she came to her decision. "You may stay, but heed my word. If you hurt anyone, you will die."

 

"Understood lady priestess." He said with a bow. "But may I ask you a question?"

 

"What is it?"

 

He moved to stand in front of her now, taking her hand into his. "What is your name, my beautiful lady?" His lips ghosted along her knuckles, sending electric shocks through her body. Their powers twisted slightly into each other and she closed her eyes.

 

"Hikari." Her voice was soft, delicate sounding.

 

The demon smirked as he pulled her against his chest and kissed. "My name's Gouka." And he disappeared. "I'll return." The winds blew his words to her as she looked wide eyed into the depths of the forest. Pale hands moved up to touch her lips as she tried to figure out what had just occurred. Her mind was almost blank. The only thing that seemed able to move through it was; he kissed me.
