Legendary Feelings and Battles

Chapter V

 

Thunder clapped around them as the darkened skies seemed to want to cry out in pain. Betrayal was among them. People from the village had told. Everything had been going well, too. It had started that day when he'd first seen her, then things had progressed as he continually saw her. The village elders learned of their meetings and told her to no longer see him.

 

But she came to him anyway. Because of her, he stayed. Soon she felt freer than ever. Power pulsed around her very being now, encircling her in case of attack. Now she was always ready. Her tight control never faltered as she allowed her powers to seep into the surrounding earth. She could feel her love's approach, though he was silent as the wind. “You should not be here.”

 

“I came for you.” Answered the man softly. “You know that I'll never leave you.”

 

The woman closed her eyes and heaved a sad sigh. “The elders are planning against us, but I know not what they'll do.”

 

“Then come with me.” The said gently. “Leave this place and we'll go somewhere more accepting.”

 

“Who would accept our pairing though, Gouka? What we are, it is considered forbidden.”

 

“I am powerful, as are you, we will stand together and make our own peace if we must.” He said as he pulled her into his arms.

 

“I'm scared Gouka. I feel that something bad is going to happen.” As she tightened her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest.

 

“I promise that everything will be ok.” He said as one of his clawed hands rose to stroke her pure white hair.

 

“But how can you be so sure?”

 

“Because I will make things ok. If anyone tries anything they will have to go through me, and hell itself will rain upon them if they try.” Tears feel from the young woman's eyes as he spoke. “I have a question that I've wished to ask you for some time now.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“I love you, Hikari, will you become my mate?”

 

Teary emerald eyes widened in surprise before they let even more tears spill forth. “Yes!”

 

And he smiled down at her as he hugged her to himself. Slowly, he leaned down and touched his lips to hers, sealing them in a loving kiss. Everything progressed from there as slowly their clothes were shed and more than just kisses were stolen. Gouka took her gently, being slow and tender, even as he marked her. “I'll always love you, Koi.”

“Then what happened?” Kagome questioned curiously as she looked upon the older miko.

 

“They left, disappearing for three years before someone stumbled across them. Hikari had managed to keep a few friends as well as make some new ones. Even Gouka had a few people that he truly trusted.”

 

“Who stumbled across them?”

 

“It was a man from Hikari's old village that had pursued her for some time. Out of spite, he returned to his village and told the elders. They quickly resurrected their old plan and summoned one of the Kami, telling them exactly where to find the defecting miko. It was the Kami who took the priestess from her home, sealing her within the heavens.”

 

“They sealed her within heaven?”

 

“Hai, and it was all for loving a demon.”

 

“What did Gouka do?”

 

“He grew angered. Lightning filled the sky as the winds picked up and the earth shook. Like I said before, the entire world trembled from his power. Using his sword, Sounga, he split the ground and opened the gates of hell.”

 

“S-Sounga?”

 

“I assume you've heard of it?”

 

“I was in the battle when that sword was sealed within hell.”

 

“Soon it shall return to the living world.”

 

“What happened when he opened hell?”

 

“The Gods descended from on high and a terrible battle commenced. A month straight of fighting and finally he was sealed.”

 

“How was he sealed?”

 

“When they stole Hikari from his, they placed her into an eternal sleep. One of the Kami stole her body and used it as a shield to land the finishing blow. However, the blow only sealed the powerful demon away.”

 

“So he'll return?”

 

“Yes, and it will be soon.” Midoriko said as closed her eyes with a tired sigh. “You must find the two who will become your mates, so that the worlds will be saved. Another battle will come, this one as legendary as the last.”

 

“I won't have to battle for a month straight, will I?”

 

Midoriko smiled and unleashed a little laugh at that. “No my child, but the battle will be hard and difficult.”

 

“Will we win?”

 

“That's not for me to say, because only the fates know now.” With those dreams, the whole scene began to fade.

 

Darkness overtook everything as different swirling colors became visible. It felt like energies were combining. There was black, green, red, and blue on one side, then bluish-white and red on the other side. There even seemed to be a little gold. “What is this?”

“Kagome, wake up.” Yusuke whispered into the girl's ear as he gently shook her. “Everything's ok, you just need to wake up.”

 

It was the sound of his voice that drew her back into the land of wakefulness. Slowly her sapphire eyes opened and looked into his amber before her arms wrapped tightly around him as she shook slightly. “Yusuke!” Her trembling continued as the power surrounding her fluctuated.

 

At that, both male demons gasped. Her scars were slowly becoming visible, blinking in and out of sight as her power spiked and dropped. White and pink stripes littered her body, seeming to cover her. The girl wore only a white tank top and short shorts. Almost everywhere visible held scars, even her face held a scar… A deep looking one.

 

“What happened to you?” Yusuke managed to ask as he gently ran his finger along the three deep gashes that were pale against her tanned flesh.

 

Watery blue eyes opened and looked up at him in a questioning manner, before looking down at her hand and gasping. She could see the scars on her arms! “They're supposed to be hidden…”

 

“You're power is fluctuating Kagome.” The half demon told her gently.

 

Wide eyes looked into his soothing amber and she nodded silently. Closing her eyes, she allowed herself to take a couple deep breaths and calm her frazzled nerves. Slowly her power sank back into her body and she sighed deeply, making sure to keep her eyes averted from Yusuke's. “I… I'm going back to bed now.” She practically whimpered.

 

“Kagome.” Yusuke said as he grabbed her chin and forced her to look up at him. “I want to know what happened to you.” The girl's eyes moved to the ground as she slowly shook her head no. “Please, tell me?”

 

Giving in with a sigh, she closed her eyes and allowed four words to fall from her lips. “I wasn't strong enough.”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“I mean that I couldn't stop him, I was captured and tortured in the past, by our enemy.”

 

With those words, the hanyou understood some of it. So he pulled her into his arms and held her firmly against him. “Will you tell me, everything that happened?”

 

Allowing herself to curl closer into his body, she let out a little sigh and closed her eyes as she sifted into her memories. “I… I can show you.”

 

The offer both surprised and stunned the hanyou, and all he could do was merely nod. When images began to assault his mind, he opened them to allow Hiei to view them as well. It would be better than the apparition merely picking up bits and pieces of it because the jagan pulled the information in. Soon they were both stunned. Whips, poisons, miasma, mental games, and other forms of torture were being felt. Even burning. A disgusting voice whispered things to them. Dark promises.

 

Then they see a woman with a pained expression on her face being forced to use wind attacks upon the miko, and even a human boy was forced to use his chain scythe against her. Then a pale child came in who had white hair and black, soulless eyes. A round mirror was held firmly within her hands as she slowly lifted it and they were forced to look within it. At that moment they felt the agony it was to have your soul stolen from within your body, but not all of it left. They could move, but barely. It was at this moment that a smirking Naraku walked into the room, dressed in not but his white baboon pelt.

 

“It is time I show you true pain, priestess.” He whispered as he laughed and moved the chains holding her, so that they were farther from the wall. The boys felt at that moment her unbridled fear as he disappeared from view, only to be replaced moments later by intense and agonizing pain when something hard was rammed into her. They could even feel the pain as she bit into her own lip to keep from releasing screams and whimpers of pain.

 

Not moments later did they feel claws piercing flesh and poison entering the body. Fangs grazed her neck and they could feel as the demon smirked. When it was finally over, the demon threw her to the ground and laughed in an almost joyful manner. Kagome barely managed to mumble out something intelligible. “Inuyasha will kill you… for this.”

 

“He can try.” The demon said with a maniacal laugh, he then turned on his heels and nodded to the albino child. She bowed her head to him and turned her mirror back toward the bleeding female on the floor. Slowly the soul spilled forth and poured back into her.

 

And it continued like that for many months until a silver haired demon appeared. He seemed shocked to see her there and took his haori off, carefully covering her nude form with it as he picked her up and left the currently crumbling castle. Wounds littered her body, and there was no way she'd be able to heal from all of them this time. The silver haired inu gently woke her after placing her in a warm bed within his palace. Blurry blue eyes slowly opened and focused on him. Fire still lay with in, but it had died down for the most part.

By the time the two demons were finished viewing the memories, both of their eyes were turning red. Kagome still trembled in Yusuke's arms, her eyes closed, and tears spilling from her sapphire eyes. When the half demon began growling, the girl pulled herself away from him and looked shamefully to the floor. Both demons noticed this and Hiei even dropped down from the tree because of it. Yusuke simply looked at her with slight anger in his red rimming eyes. “Why'd you pull away?”

 

The girl whimpered, easily hearing the anger in the male's voice. “I-I'm tainted, defiled, and I doubt you want me touching you.”

 

That had Yusuke's growl deepening as he grabbed her arms and pulled her flush against his chest once more. “Quit thinking like that.”

 

“He took you against your will, it is not your fault or your sin.” Hiei stated from his position, causing the girl to look up at him and gasp.

 

“You know too?” She whimpered out as she shrank into Yusuke's hold.

Everyone remained quiet the next morning. Kagome had been acting kind of like a kicked puppy as she kept her eyes trained on the ground. If she had a tail, Yusuke was sure that it would be between her legs. As it was, he'd woken with her still in his embrace. When she awoke, her face had turned a deep shade of red as she jumped up and turned her gaze onto the ground.

 

At the moment, her eyes were closed as she wordlessly led them toward the west. At least she was leading them west before a familiar pulse of energy had her stopping and turning to look south. Two words fell from her lips in a horrified sounding whisper “dragon twister.”

 

“What?” Yusuke asked as he stopped beside her.

 

Her face paled as she turned to look at him then. “We need to find it!” And she took off, disappearing into the surrounding trees. Hiei and Yusuke both shared a look before taking off after her. After an hour of running, they came to a place which held massive devastation. In the midst of it all stood a single smirking demon. It was the sword in his hand that held Kagome's attention though.

 

Yusuke, meanwhile, leaned over toward Hiei and whispered that they needed to take care of this demon if he was just going to go around destroying things. The apparition nodded and told the detective to get the girl to hide. Though they knew of her power level, they had no idea of her skills in combat were exactly. “Kagome, hide in the woods.”

 

Her sapphire eyes looked into his amber and she nodded. “Alright Yusuke, but be careful.”

 

“I'm always careful.” He replied before turning to help Hiei, who was already battling the demon.

 

After half an hour, the two were still battling. Kagome watched as the A-class demon easily held them off, which seemed to piss off both. Hiei was an upper A-class, on the verge of reaching S-class while Yusuke was Taiyoukai class. The miko easily observed them until something about their enemy caught her notice and she began growling. How these stupid demons loved to annoyed her. Drawing her sword when the two boys were thrown away, she charged the demon and struck out at his sword.

 

Both Yusuke and Hiei were surprised at this, but they were more shocked by the fact that she easily kept up with the demon who had been giving them a hard time. After a moment, the demon had pushed her back and sent a swirling mass of winds at her. “Dragon Twister!”

 

Growling, the girl held the blade out horizontally and pressed it against the attack, using both hands to steady her own blade. An explosion erupted, and when the dust settled the girl was panting heavily and glaring at the demon. Said demon swayed slightly, causing her to smirk devilishly. “It's time I take that arm away from you.”

 

The demon's eyes widened in shock at her words. “How did you know?”

 

“Simple, the markings on the arm. Not to mention that only the Taishio family should be able to use that attack.” Kagome said as she charged forward. Soon the battle was over as the miko sent a purifying jolt through the demon's body. Collapsing to the ground, she began panting in exhaustion. “Stupid powerful attack.” Was her grumbled words, at least they were until she noticed Yusuke moving toward the sword. “Don't touch it!”

 

His hand stopped moments away from grabbing it as he stood straight and turned to look at her with a questioning gaze. “Why not?”

 

Slowly pulling herself to her feet, she shakily made her way to the sword and reached down gently. The hanyou looked at her quizzically as she did so, but soon understood her warning as the blade's hilt met with the skin of her hand. Purple strings seemed to stretch from it and twist around her arm, causing her to growl. “Sounga!” She exclaimed as her aura pulsed around her. The sword appeared to whimper before finally submitting and retracting the purple vines. “Good.” She mumbled as she carried it over to her bag.

 

“You've seen that sword before?” Hiei asked as he eyed it.

 

“She has.” Said a deep, sinister sounding voice.

 

Both demons just looked at her in shock. “Nobody asked you Sounga.” The girl grumbled before turning to the other two. “This is Sounga” she motioned to the red orb on the hilt of the sword “and I had to fight it once after it tried killing Inuyasha.”

 

“What?” Yusuke questioned. “That's one you didn't tell us?”

 

“It wasn't important because Sounga was supposed to be sealed within hell.” Her voice held a tinge of venom to it. “Sounga was created long ago by a powerful demon, in essence, it is the demon. After passing through centuries worth of both ningen and youkai hands, it finally fell into Lord Inutaishou's. He has been one of the only known beings capable of overpowering it. Actually, he's Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's father.”

 

“So what about the sword?”

 

“I'm right here you know.” Said sword spoke.

 

“Shut up already Sounga.” Kagome grumbled at the dumb thing. “Sounga is the sword of hell, and it's weakness is being near both Tenseiga and Tetsusaiga at the same time. Tenseiga is the sword of heaven, capable of reviving a hundred dead people with a single swing, while tetsusaiga is the sword of earth. It's capable of slaying a hundred being with a single swing, and is also known as the protector of man, ningen to be more precise.”

 

“So what happened to it before?” Hiei asked this time, curious himself.

 

“Inuyasha sent the backlash wave at the sword using the dragon twister's energy while Sesshormaru cast the dragon strike using tenseiga.” Kagome said easily before turning a fierce glare upon the sword. “This happened after Sounga had oh so nicely opened the gates of hell. Their attacks defeated him and he was sealed within hell, along with Sesshoumaru's arm, which the demon had been using.”
