Chapter 2 Reminisce

She sat beside the fireplace, remembering their last battle with Naraku…

Chapter 2: Reminisce

The moon was visibly way up high in the starry sky. Crickets and Owls' noises were the only sounds heard in the peaceful atmosphere. In a village near the bone eater's well, people were fast asleep. It was such a cozy night that everyone seemed to be drawn into deep slumber. But among all the cottages, there was one that still glowed with light inside. All the people inside were fast asleep except for one person…

The miko, named Kagome was seated near the fireplace inside Old Kaede's hut. She took a block of wood and threw it into the fire. So much had happened to them the past days that seemed to flash back in her mind. She sat, embracing her legs close to her, putting her head atop her knees. She was thinking of the time when she was attacked by their arch nemesis, a half demon made from a bandit named Onigumo, who gave his soul to a group of demons to have great power, and out came the filthy demon, Naraku.

At that time, they were in a rocky area near a group of fire breathing mountains and geysers. They were following Naraku for he had captured Kikyo, a revived miko who was also Inuyasha's first love. Naraku took her unconscious because she was injured badly by him. Inuyasha followed the filthy demon while Kagome and their other companions followed. At that time Kagome knew that the hanyo still had feelings for the living dead, Kikyo.

Naraku continued to move away. He was accompanied by his servants, Kagura, the known to be Demon Wind Goddess riding her huge feather with Kanna, the soul collector and Hakudoshi, his offspring, who flew with him inside his own barrier. Inuyasha and the others followed, leading them to a wide lifeless deserted plain. There, the lowbred demon landed with his minions and laid his captive on the ground gently. He commanded Kanna and Hakudoshi to guard the unconscious miko.

The hanyo and his companions fell into Naraku's trap. Making Kikyo as bait, Naraku made Inuyasha and the others go inside his barrier, which covered their soon-to-be battlefield. As soon as the unconscious miko was on the ground Naraku covered himself with his barrier again and flew above facing his enemies. He smiled at them evilly. Inuyasha, who was worried about Kikyo, stood on the ground in front of their demon nemesis. He looked at the powerful demon above with anger in his eyes.

"Naraku!" he shouted, his voice filled with furiousness. "How dare you hurt Kikyo! Give her back to us!"

Naraku just smirk at what he said.

"Foolish demons and humans!" The filthy demon said proudly, "You have fallen into my trap. Kikyo was just a bait to put you inside my barrier!"

"What?!" Inuyasha said out loud, frustrated.

"Inuyasha, He's telling the truth. We're inside his barrier." His friend monk, Miroku, told him looking around, seeing the violet energy barrier that could only be a sign of Naraku's power.

Inuyasha didn't care about what his friend houshi was talking about. All he wanted to do now was to kill Naraku for he had hurt Kikyo.

As both half demons were having a fierce eye to eye, Kagome whose feelings were affected at that time as she saw the hanyo's concern for the other miko, looked at the half breed feeling desperately concerned.

He still loves her. She thought. Inuyasha… even though I'm with him, his heart still beats for the one he had loved for the first time. And it will only be her. I'm only the second best for him.

Shippo, the kitsune, saw Kagome's sorrowed face. He felt sorry for the maiden and so jumped and landed on her shoulders. Kagome was surprised by the young kitsune's sudden appearance.
