The Poison Called Love

Ch-1- The past memories

The sky was a meadow of reds, oranges and blue hues. The sun was just starting to retire over the hill of clouds and call out the night sky. Mother Nature was tired so she decided to retire early that day so she pulled her blank of silky clouds over her body and snuggled into the peaceful world of dreams. When the clear blue sky turned inky blue all the night animals came out and started a new day. One family of night owls came out of there houses in a hole of one of the old withered oak trees to look for a breakfast meal. Near bye there was a group of three humans and two demons. One of the demons was perched up in a tree acting like he was not even paying attention to the group but was watching them with a critical eye just for safety reasons.

Kagome was tired her body ached and her shoulders were crying for her to put her backpack down so she did and sat down very careful not to wake Shippo. Shippo had fallen asleep before sunset on their scouting for a camp site. She plucked him off her shoulder and set gently down on the ground next to her bag. As soon as she set him down Shippo gasped at the sudden warmth loss and curled up in to a little ball.

Miroku set his staff down on the ground and sighed. “Tonight will be a peaceful night; there will be plenty of light thanks to the stars.” He looked at Sango and asked, “Would you like to go get fire wood with me Sango.”

Sango was sitting on a boulder with her boomerang perched next to her and her fire cat Kirara perched on her left shoulder. She looked at Miroku and smiled.

“Miroku if I go with you it will be my death wish you lecher.” With that said she pulled her boomerang next to her and pulled it in her lap and pulled out a cloth and started to polish the blood off it.”

Miroku sighed for the fifth time and while he turned around her muttered under his breath what sounded like ‘just getting firewood with her’. Kagome had long ago set her yellow pack on the ground and gotten her rolled up sleeping bag out and tooth brush and tooth paste. She grabbed her flash light and her night clothes and walked over to Inu Yasha and turned it on and shined it on him. “Inu Yasha im going to brush my teeth and change for bed so don’t come looking for me, ok.” She herd him ‘Feh’ and turned around and walked off into the forest in the opposite direction of Miroku.

The night was dark and quite with the sounds of ruffling bushes and snapping twigs from Kagome’s heavy footsteps through the forest. She was looking for a nice stream she herd while the trek on the dirt path to there camp site. She stopped and lifted her hand and scratched her head and huffed out in annoyance. She couldn’t find the stream that she could of sworn she herd on the way here. “Maybe it was in the direction Miroku went; no im sure it was over here ill just have to look harder.” With another sigh of frustration she started off forward in search of the stream.

Miroku had come back with a hand full of fire wood and set them down in a pile in the center of their camp and started a fire. He walked over to his staff and gracefully sat down Indian style next to Sango and watched her polish her weapon in a daze. Sango knew he was watching her polish her weapon and realized she liked the attention from the monk, as long as he didn’t try to grope her. But she had started to not mind him groping her lately and just thought that was because she was accustomed to it bye now.

Inu Yasha had fallen asleep while he was mentally challenging himself on whether he should sleep on the ground or in ‘his’ tree. All the walking today and battling a few demons on the way tired the poor hanyou out. They had collected three Shikon Jewel fragments from the demons and had put them together with the rest and found that they have the rest of the jewel shards. The other shards are in the hands of the evil hanyou Naraku. Inu Yasha had his fang across his chest for the purpose of an attack.

Sango looked up at Inu Yasha and smirked. Miroku saw this and followed her gaze and he too copied her action. “Poor Inu Yasha was so tired from all the fighting that he fell asleep; even after he was the one that Kagome had to sit because he said that we did not need to stop every night for rest.” Sango looked at kagome’s pack at the mention of her name and noticed that she had been gone for a long time.

She continued with her boomerang when she just though Kagome decided to stop along the way and maybe talk to a bird. ‘She’s too friendly.’ Sango chuckled to herself at the scene of that happening. Kirara fluffed up in a ball and jumped down on the cold ground and scurried over to where Shippo lay fast asleep and laid down and wrapped herself around the kit for warmth and Shippo agreed by cuddling closer to her fur.

Kagome had just come across the stream for what seemed like twenty hours of searching, she turned the flash light off and set her tooth brush on a rock and tooth paste on the ground and started to take her clothes off and slip on her sleeping clothes. Her sleeping clothes are a cotton long sleeve shirt with little bears on the front with bouncy balls at the hems, and cotton matching long leg pants. She slipped on a pair of pink teddy bear slippers. She laid her uniform in a neat pile next to her other items and picked up her tooth brush. She kneeled next to the stream and gazed at it. The river had a white hue to it because of the moon shining its un earthly shine down on the clear blue liquid making it’s surface look like a painting of a perfect clear night next to a ocean shore with the waves calm as the wind shimmering in all their glory. Kagome just sat there for a minute enjoying the scene and forgot about Inu Yasha; if she took to long he would come after her. So she scooped up a handful of water and took a small sip and let it run through her hands. She dipped her tooth brush in the stream and watched the ripples dance across the surface distorting the moons reflection. She grabbed her tooth paste and squeezed a small amount of the creamy blue substance on her brush and brought it to her mouth and started to brush and message her pink gums and pearl white teeth. After she was satisfied with her brushing job she rinsed her tooth brush off and scooped another hand full of water and this time she sucked it all into her mouth and swished it around and spit it back out to her left in a bush.

“All nice and clean.”

She smiled at herself in the stream and then her hand came up to her face and she traced the outline of it.

‘Why do I have to even have a reincarnation why can’t I just be a normal girl?’

‘Never mind that im not normal anyway.’

She brought her hands next to her collar bone and grabbed the pink jewel and held it tight in her palm.

She then looked at her reflection in the clear blue water. Her face had an aerial glow to it, ‘why do I have to look like Kikyo, it just makes me hurt even more. I know Inu Yasha will never love me because he pledged his love to that undead bitch and that he is even going to go to hell with her to make up for her betrayal.’ ‘I just wish he would at least tell me has some feelings for me because im going crazy with him always leaving me for Kikyo.’

Kagome looked at the Shikon No Tama and couldn’t help the little salt flavored droplets, that cascade down her face, fall on its glassy pink surface. She couldn’t help but wonder if she will ever find love. She thought back to the time when she was paralyzed by a demon and Inu Yasha hadn’t come to save her yet, and the most unlikely person came to her rescue.

Flashback

“Stop, don’t touch me.”

Kagome was terrified beyond words, Inu Yasha hadn’t come for her yet and she was beginning to think he never would. There was these green slimy half rabbit, half preying mantis looking demons running the slimy claws over her creamy white skin looking for the Shikon No Tama. One of the demons was scratching her because it was starting to get frustrated. It pulled open her blouse and growled in triumph and started to reach for the Shikon No Tama but Kagome was faster and purified his hands and pulled herself back away from the screaming demon on her forearms. She was so week and scared that she was shivering and tears of pain were staining her cloths and her voice was dry from yelling and screaming so much. There were cuts and bruises all over her body from the demons running their claws all over her fragile body.

Kagome started to panic they were screaming in agony and the one that was hurt was curled up in a ball on the ground with a green liquid gushing out of the spot where his hands should be. The demons started to gang around the injured demon and in a second they were ripping and tearing the demon apart and feeding on the remains. Kagome stared at the scene before her and felt bile rise in her throat; she needed to escape and she needed to do it now! She slowly started to crawl on her knees, quietly with out the demons hearing her, to a bush that led to a path to a human village. ‘If I can get there I can get some arrows and kill these bastards.”She slowly crawled through the bush and felt the branches tear at her exposed flesh making her want to scream in pain. She finally reached the dirt road and slowly stood up leaning all her weight on a nearby oak tree for support. She released the tree and limped off as fast as she could down the road to the village. While she was walking she heard a scream from behind her and the next moment she was smacked up against a tree with a very pissed off gang of demons on her tail; not to mention one pinning her against a tree cutting of her air supply. She couldn’t move the demon had her arms pinned in between her body and her legs pinned with his. She tried to struggle but the demon painfully squeezed her arm. She tried to scream but her mouth couldn’t form the words she wished to yell so she started to call forth her Miko powers. She was still new with her powers and still trying to master them like Kikyo. She thought about Inu Yasha and Kikyo kissing and that was the fuel she needed to call forth that energy. She sent a force field of purifying power toward her captor and turned him into a grey dust that blew away in the wind. Then she turned around and was hit hard across the face bye one of the demons claws and hit the hard ground two feet away with a thud. ‘This is it im going to die and maybe Kikyo will get the other part of her soul that I own and Inu Yasha can look for the Jewel shards himself.’ She took a deep wavering breath of air and prepared for the pains she was about to experience. She herd a few growls and a few yelps of pain and then silence. She herd nothing. Nothing. That made her crack one of her eyes open slowly. Once she opened it she saw dead body’s of the demon’s trying to kill her around her in body parts and torn flesh. She could feel that nauseating sensation in the back of her throat making her want to throw up.

She was to busy looking at the dead body parts of the demons to see the tall, regal, TaiYoukai of the West standing drying his hands by the heap of the last demon he slayed with his poison claws. The poison was still eating away the green skin cells making a sizzling noise. She saw a white fabric flutter out of the corner of her eye and turned her head to see her savior. She gasped out loud and her hands flew to her mouth in reflex. There stood the one person that tried to kill her numerous times and would have succeeded if not for the protection of the Tetsusaiga; Sesshomaru. She stared at Inu Yasha’s half brother for a minute until his golden orbs hooked with hers. She looked at his face and wasn’t surprised that it was emotionless. He gracefully walked over to her and stopped a mere two feet away. He stood there and asked in his emotionless tone, “Are you going to sit there all day and stair at me or you going to get up and find my bastard brother to bandage you up, wench?”

Kagome flinched at his choice of words but brushed it off and started to stand up slowly. Half way up she clutched her side in pain and would have hit the ground if not for the arm that wrapped around her waist and pulled her to a warm firm chest.

“Do I have to come to your assistance with everything human?” Sesshomaru glared at kagome and wasn’t surprised when she returned the glair. Kagome could feel her voice come back to her and decided she was pissed enough to yell at some one. She said with anger laced words, “Im sorry if I am a weak human that you just happened to save and now return back to her group, and im sorry that im injured from all the abuse so if you would kindly be more gently with me and call me bye my name; Kagome, KA..GO…ME!!!

With that said she put her hands to her mouth and closed her eyes and knew he was not going to stand for that kind of treatment, especially form a human. She herd him growl and then him grunt. She felt him rearrange himself and the next minute she knew she was flying over a vast array of tree tops being carried by the most unexpected demon to her group of Jewel hunters.

End Flashback

Kagome could remember that night when she had to stop the two brothers from fighting by fainting in Sesshomaru’s arms. She knew well enough that the reason Inu Yasha hadn’t come for her was because her was with her bitchy incarnate Kikyo. Kagome swallowed her whimpers of pain and decided she wanted to take a walk on a beautiful night like this. She would head west for a little walk and then walk back to camp and sleep because she knew she would need it for the Jewel shard hunting the next day. She picked up her supplies and set them on a boulder so she could come back for them on the way back to the camp. With that action she followed the stream west for a refreshing walk.
