1000 no Kotoba (Prologue & Epilogue)
Chapter 2
---
It was morning, and Kikyou had fallen asleep after that long kiss she had with Yunosuke. She stretched and found herself walking around the temple, only to find Yunosuke.
"I see you have woken up." He grinned.
"Shouldn't you be working?" She asked and exchanged his grin with a smile.
"Yes, I should, but only if you'd let me ask you something."
"Foolish boy, it's already late, your uncle would be fuming." She turned around and smiled.
"Kikyou, may I ask your hand in marrige.. or at least live with me..?" He grabbed her arm to stop her from walking.
Kikyou found herself in an embrace she'd never thought she'd be in ever, "Yunosuke.. you know I have to watch the temple.." She nuzzled his neck.
"Yes.. then i'll stay with you.. I won't let anything happen to you.." Then there was a pause. She felt his warmth all over her, she was so happy he'd never let her go, "...ever again." He leaned over to kiss her and Kikyou was suddenly broken off by children calling her name.
"Yunosuke, I have to go now, I hope your uncle doesn't get angry with you, do good." He smiled at her, "I will."
Kikyou played in the flowers with the children, taught them about herbs, went picking for fruit.. she was happy. She would never run into hell ever again.
----
Naraku watched Kikyou, he was angry, angry at the fact she was happy. "I wanted that bitch to be in agony and hell forever."
"Maybe you let her go to easy." A shadow emerged from the clouds.
"Ah- Hikari, there you are, I want to ask a favor of you."
"Anything you wish, Naraku, just promise me my prizes?" She playfully put her arms around his neck and her flowing, blue hair was wrapped around them. Hikari had long, blue hair, her eyes were ice cold, and her skin was pale. She wore a japanese yukata with clouds embroided on it. It was all blue, and it fit perfectly around the demon.
"Fine, I shall grant you power of shapeshifting."
"Your so good, Naraku." She giggled and pulled away from him, "What is it you want?"
"I want you to make a priestess, a dummy, a priestess everyone would as much as Kikyou. I also want you to give the elder a disease, a deadly disease. Lure her out of the village to get the blue herb that is 10 miles from the village. I want you to set it on fire. That will leave Kikyou helpless and guilty."
"Anything else?" Hikari sat on the cloud giddy and excited.
He looked at the boy working the in garden, "And kill him." He pointed to the boy.
"Ooooh, but he's so cuute!~ Ooh well, your wish is my command, Naraku." she bowed and dissappeared.
Naraku glared at Kikyou, "Just wait, I will put you back in your misery."
----
"teehee! Kikyou! Your IT!" Juuji tagged her and ran away from her, giggling and happy. Kikyou grinned, "We'll see who's it." She ran over to the boy and tickled him, "Okay okay! You win Kikyou!" He laughed in her arms, and she smiled.
"Kikyou! Kikyou!" An elder called out to her.
"What is it?" She stopped tickling the boy and he went to play with the other kids.
"Well, we'd like you to meet a new partner working with you at the temple." The elderly woman smiled.
".. partner?" Kikyou was dragged off to the village's heart to meet with the woman.
----
The woman had medium-cut black hair, her eye's were red and peirceing to the eye. Her hair was tied into two, so she had somewhat like pigtails. She wore what Kikyou is wearing, only hers was a dark blue. She was fairly tall, and she wore makeup like Kagura.
The woman bowed before Kikyou, "my name is Ruka, I am a left survivor of my village north of here."
Kikyou eyed her suspiciously, and bowed as well, "I am Kikyou, priestess of this village."
Ruka looked up and smiled, "May I join you in taking care of your temple? That is all I ask."
The people of the village around them looked hopeful Kikyou would accept her into the village's temple, "You are to remain in the temple and take care of it as I do, are you able to do that?"
Ruka's eyes met Kikyou's. "Yes, I can. Thank you, Miss Kikyou, fellow miko."
"Now if you excuse me, Kikyou, I will lead myself to the temple, as I can see it from here."
Kikyou watched her walk gracefully to the temple, and after a bit, Kikyou thought.
'why all of a sudden this miko steps into my life?'
'why did she come? there was never a village up north..'
"Hey." Yunosuke waved a hand in front of Kikyou's face, "Huh? Oh, sorry, I wasn't paying attention." Yunosuke smiled, "You think too much, you should be with the kids and your new partner."
"Yeah.." Kikyou had looked to the children and the woman sitting in the temple watching them, "Yunosuke, may I please talk to her..? I'm sorry if you wanted to talk to me, but I really need to ask her something."
He leaned over and lightly kissed her cheek, "Go ahead." Kikyou smiled and walked over to Hikari.
----
"Miko.." Kikyou sat down beside the woman.
"What is it?" Ruka looked up at Kikyou with her peircing blue eyes. Kikyou froze as soon as she sat down.
"I'd like to know.. where your village really is, i've never seen anything north of here." Kikyou said, trying to move her hands and legs.
"My village is north of here. I am not telling lies." Ruka shot at her.
"Are you positive you aren't telling me something that is not true?" Kikyou eyed her.
Ruka nodded. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some work to do."
".............." Kikyou sat threre for a while, "her aura is human.. but something about her is..."
----
"Elder, may I come into your house to do a blessing?" Ruka smiled sheepishly to get permission inside this woman's house, "Ruka! You may come in as you please, but why a blessing?"
Ruka stepped in and stopped to answer her question, "Blessings are a gift. And you should accept them, now if you'll excuse me, I suggest you evacuate the house just in case a youkai steps out anywhere around you."
The woman just nodded and left, Ruka waited until the woman was completely gone, and Hikari stepped out of the wall, "Good job, not bad, not bad.. your as good as Kagura.. teehee."
"I'm only doing this because Naraku reuqested it." Ruka stood straight and froze.
Hikari giggled, "You are too kind, puppet." Then, Hikari motioned her hand to a wooden box, and in it was medicine that the old woman took. Hikari drew it close to her and opened the bottle, she poured red liquid into the bottle [which was snake poison] and put it neatly back into the wooden box, "There's your blessing, teehee." With that, Hikari pulled back into the wall, and Ruka unfroze to get the old woman back in the house.
"Ruka! Youkai? is there any?" The elder pulled on Ruka's clothing, and Ruka replied with a smile, "Nothing is wrong with your home.. you are good to go." The old woman thanked Ruka and went back in. Ruka smirked and mumbled, "Oooh, you'll see.."

Wow.. Naraku is so mean to Kikyou! XDD Review!
