Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Replaying History In More Than One Way ❯ Admittance ( Chapter 27 )

Tbiris: Okay, a few points to tell you for future reference, Yusuke you start.

 

Yusuke: alright-i-o -reading off of paper- #1 I'm not writing every little detail that happens in Makai, they've talked a lot and Kagome's corrupted a few more hearts. -gives paper to Keiko- Well, that's an interesting way to put it.

 

Keiko: #2 They've collected several shards from many pathetic demons. -gives paper to Karasu-

 

Karasu: #3 There is a sequel -destroys paper- I hope that she'll post my story first.

 

Tbiris: I don't know, depends how far along I get. Last point, this will not be repeated!

 

Chapter 27- Escape

 

Kurama turned around, his green eyes were hopeful, and then happiness filled them as he realized that it was the normal Kagome.

He leapt up and embraced her, allowing tears to flow freely down his face. No words were needed as she hugged him back, her own tears falling.

“I love you too.” He nuzzled her neck and trailed kisses down her neck before returning to her lips to finish with a deep kiss; one Kagome returned with all of her heart. (Bleh, sounds bad… can't believe I wrote that)

She leant into his torso and let his scent fill her nose; Kurama did the same with her hair.

“As much as I hate to interrupt this lovely moment for you two, we should leave now.” Kagome nodded and chanted the spell her family had taught her; no wait. The Koorime had taught her. The wards in Kurama's room fell.

They moved silently into Hiei's room. Kagome made him promise not to hurt or kill any occupants of the island before removing the wards. Jin was in a different area, most likely close to Yusuke and Kuwabara. Kurama and Hiei agreed to wait at Hina's grave and they would hang onto the edge of the island if Hiei sensed anyone coming.

Kagome slowly made her way to Yusuke's room. There were three Koorime outside their doors talking quietly. She took off the necklace and pocketed it. She felt her emotions wane, but her memories remained, though she had to fight to keep them there.

“Kagome, the Lady wishes to know if these men interest you.” Yusuke, Jin and Kuwabara were standing by their doors, wards placed on their wrists.

“Kagome?” Yusuke was bewildered. Kagome's cold eyes met his own.

“There's no way in hell that can be Kagome!” one of the Koorime slapped him.

“You shall not treat our sisters like that.” Kagome fought to keep her face impassive.

“I was sent to the Forbidden Child…”

“He ain't no Forbidden Child an' you know tha'!” Jin cried. Kagome continued on, ignoring him.

“And the fox to please them, they wish to see their companions.” The Koorime looked to each other, before nodding. Kagome looked at the gang coldly, before addressing them.

“There will be no trouble,” she told them, eyes daring them otherwise. Yusuke made a face but nodded and Kuwabara and Jin followed suit. She turned around and led them into Kurama's room.

 

She whirled around, this time her eyes were filled with life with the necklace replaced on her neck. She quickly removed the wards on their wrists.

“We have to move quickly. Hiei and Kurama are by Hina's grave,” Kagome spoke quickly and surely. Kuwabara and Jin smiled slightly; glad to have the old Kagome and their powers back. Yusuke however, was suspicious about this sudden turn of events.

Kagome noticed his wariness and brought out her necklace.

“Kurama had this with him remember?” The dragon and rose let out a flash of light.

“It returned my memories somehow. Now we must run!” Kagome opened the door for them and once they'd left, she replaced the wards and ran.

There were two Koorime hidden in the shadows of the room. One was visibly shaking in fright, the other one spoke in a calm assertive voice.

“They've cursed that necklace too. Ruri, we can't let them get away with this; alert the guards. This time those males won't leave this island alive.” Ruri fled the room at a run, but not to the guards as she had been ordered. Her mind was no longer held by darkness, she ran to the one whom saved her from it. To the miko she had grown to respect.

Ruri reached them as the shinobi whipped up a wind.

“Wait!” she cried. Hiei turned to her; his eyes softened a touch but remained hard. “I'm so sorry for what I did to you Hiei, but you must understand. We found a shard of a jewel on our island that had been tainted. The village elder picked it up and then she changed, grew more malevolent. We were controlled, ordered to detain you, please, please take me with you,” she managed to choke out. There was a silence for a moment while tears fell onto the ground; then the wind pushed Ruri closer to the tornado Jin was creating. She lifted her head and met Kagome's brilliant blue eyes.

Only one word was said, and it made Ruri crack a smile.

“Welcome.” The tornado began to pick up in speed and the group stepped towards the tornado as a piercing wail cut through the air.

“RURI! They have Ruri!” Kagome's eyes flashed dangerously as she saw the ones that had made her hurt the ones she loved.

“Don't,” Kurama warned, grabbing her arm as she made to step back. She turned to him, despair filling her eyes.

“I can't work here, Kurama.” Hiei added his two cents as they entered the tornado dragging her with them.

“Let them suffer, miko. They're heartless.”

Fed up with the argument that continued, Jin caused the tornado to drop fifty metres. Kagome, Ruri and Kuwabara screamed. Yusuke swore, as did Hiei, Kurama's eyes flew open to their widest extent in shock. As they entered the safety of the wind again they remained in shock for a second.

“Now shut up,” Jin commanded. The rest of the ride down was silent as-almost- everyone gathered all their nerves and set them working again. Upon landing, Yusuke landed a hard punch to Jin's face. Rows began to break out amongst the group, until the peacemaker of the past and present yelled at the top of her lungs.

“ENOUGH!” Kagome panted slightly because her energy had flared as she had shouted. Everyone went silent as they turned to her.

“Can we at least get along until we have completely escaped?” she pleaded. Hiei and Kurama's eyes went to her, demanding an explanation. Kagome fiddled with the kimono she wore at Koorime Island and kept her gaze downwards.

 

Ruri looked from Kagome to Kurama and understood.

“Contaminated shard.” Everyone looked at her.

“It was a contaminated jewel shard. They used it to heal her, but in the process used the power to wipe her memories. Kagome automatically released her powers, just enough to purify the shard, but it hit me instead and I became aware of what was happening.” Everyone remained silent and unconsciously shivered, as the air grew colder. Hiei turned to look at Ruri.

“We'll leave you at Genkai's,” he stated. Kurama looked to Kagome again, a different question in his eyes.

“Why us?”

Kagome flushed but kept her eyes on her feet.

“They wanted you to break. They thought that a forbidden should breed with a forbidden and watch all her children die before her very eyes.” Sheets of ice began to form on the ground; everyone turned then began to run. Jin carried Ruri and Kurama once again carried Kagome. The Koorime were doing something that had never been heard of before. They were leaving their island on Naraku's order, to capture the shard they lost and to lay claim to the miko he so desired.

 

They chased them, until they met a male of their own power that held them off in order to allow his future and current comrades a safe journey to Ningenkai.

 

Ok. Here's where there's a bigger and more substantial prize. Tell me who that male was and you have a colour picture of that dragon necklace coming your way, provided I have a means of sending it.

 

Well I did receive a lot of threats, well maybe one or two, but still. ^^ I hope this wasn't as bad and there will possibly be one more cliffie after this, depending on your point of view

 

Sesshomaruobsessed: YAY more chocolate! You're forgiven! I like that idea, sounds good, use it.

 

Time and Fate: Hojo saw the shard in the dragon and it caught his eye and so he bought it. Is it that good? I don't think, but maybe because this is kinda…well parts are taken from BAON (with permission). How's it good?

 

Animebishielover: You won't see Shippo for a while.

 

Bluespark: hmmm, I don't know. He loves Kagome and seeing her like that, almost worse than death… ok, reminds me of how much I'm gonna die later.
