Vanya: OH gawd you all hate me now I believe… But HOLY SHIT, 30 reviews for the first chapter… 00 It's a miracle. I am so sorry for not updating this sooner, but one thing is that the magic of InuYasha has almost all faded for me. Sure, I still love it, but I don't read it as rabidly asI used to,and Sesshy? Pshaw. I prefer makolicious men from FFVII. Yup that's right… FFVII and its sequel, Advent Children, have captivated me for seven months now. I barely read InuYasha anymore unless it's a naru/inu cross over… 'Cause my beloved friend KuRoxTeNsHi (Imouto! Glomp) keeps me informed of the updation of fics we like. W00t!
But anyway, I promised to continue this and I will. Just don't kill me if it sucks, 'cause I'm an evil bitch, and I like being an evil bitch and to you I am Ms.Bitch… LOL I'm just kidding about that part. But I really am sorry.
Dedicated to- Reviewers, plain and simple. As well as Kage, for getting me off my ass… And to my buddies, Darcy (KujakuValentine), Kai (Kawaii Eyez), Kuro (KuRoxTeNsHi), Kage (AGAIN, Kaged Angel), FLUFFYTIGER (Gavin, dude you are THE man! XD Clouffies forever), my buddies that I am too incapacitated to name because I'm sick, and all my fans… o.o if I have any. LOL. XD (Darkness, awww you honor me. And Monica, even though you aren't reading this most likely I still luff you. Kai made me say luff... 00)
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha or YuGiOh! Isn't it obvious?
Voting So Far…Kakura (Bakura and Kagome… shut up. I just made that v.v ): Six
KagSeto: Seven (Oh HELL no not this again… Ah well. He's gonna be a bastaaaard… And Viper, I saw your reviews, but you only get one vote each chapter, so the five times that you reviewed, only one of your votes count. I can see that you want KagSeto.)
KagSess: Two (Poor Sesshy… holds plush of Sephiroth and is spotted Ehehehe… puts away plush bashfully, then hugs it to her chest when no one is looking)
KagInu: Two (Almost more than Sesshy? 0.0)
KagYugiYami: Four
KagMarik/Malik: Two (Huh, this could be interesting…)
SerenityDuke: Three
SerenityTristan: One
TeaTristan: Two
TeaDuke: One (Eww... I want to stab Tea.)
Love triangles…Kag/Seto/Sess: One
Kag/Seto/Yugi/Yami: Two
And PLEASE people, pick just one suggestion for the coupling with Kagome. If you put more than one for Kagome I will only accept the first one you put. I don't care if it's a love triangle or not. I am also pretty sure I screwed up the counts of the polls, so if anyone wants to take a crack at it and correct it you're welcome togo ahead.
FINALLY…THE CHAPTER!
Love and Duel Monsters don't mix when you're a Miko Chapter 2- I'm a WHAT?
"Speech"
'Thought'
Somewhere in Egypt…
Normal POV
Kagome felt so odd. It felt like there was something attached to her back. She felt taller, slimmer, and her power seemed to have increased tenfold. It appeared that she was in a temple of some sort, from the looks of it. There were ancient pieces of slightly rotting limestone (can limestone rot? 0.0) and wood, and dust on surfaces from what she could tell.
"Where am I? InuYasha? Sango? Miroku? Shippo? Kirara? Where is everyone?" Kagome yelled, a bit of fear rising in her.
'I'm alone…'She shuddered. 'I hate being alone…' She stood up. She tried to move a limb forward but she couldn't. It was as if something bound her and she couldn't even see it.
'What the hell? I can't move! Huh?' She looked down and saw that she was on an altar? Why the hell was she standing on an alter? She wasn't some sort of sacrifice, she hoped. 'Kagome, get a grip girl! Now is now to think about stupid old scary movies!'
She then looked at herself, and screamed in half-shock and half-joy.
She was wearing white robes fit for a princess, with gold and silver sparkly trim. It was BEAUTIFUL, and made of some luxurious cloth that felt suspiciously like linen mixed with silk... And she was also wearing white shoes made of some sturdy cloth that reminded her of the moccasins that Native American Indians had worn. And something was sprouted out of her back!
She looked at her back as best she could, and her thoughts were: 'what the? They're wings?'
Yes, wings. White, feathery wings giving off immense power that she could feel, like tangible waves in the air. She also had a sexy silver sword in a gold sheath. Apparently was the best money could buy. Curious, she pulled it out of the sheath and observed the gleaming metal. 'Wow… surely this isn't mine!'
As she looked down upon the sword, she could see her reflection, clear as day. And something was glowing above her head!
'A halo? Am I dead? Somehow I got pulled in by that hellhole with Shippo, and now I look like this? Not to complain, though. I look gorgeous.' She blushed at that thought and then continued to study her appearance. The sword was polished to look almost mirror-like… 'Hey, in combat, I bet I could blind someone with this on a sunny day!' A random thought. Then her face caught her attention.'Huh? Wow… And I have blue strips on my cheeks! And a crescent blue moon- Just like Sesshomaru- and star of silver on my forehead.' She still had her shining, raven black hair with the tint of blue, and her blue eyes. Although they had silver flecks in them. 'WHOA holy… My ears are pointed, too! What is going on here?'
Then she was reminded of her being alone, with nobody around. 'No wait… SHIPPO! OH NO! He got pulled in too, but where is he?'
"SHIPPO! INUYASHA! SANGO! MIROKU! KIRARA! WHERE ARE YOU!" A desperate cry erupted from her lips and she waited, hoping someone would have the heart to answer her.
So she waited, at least five minutes, and received no answer. She started to cry, realizing that indeed, she was alone.
"Please, O Goddess of Light… Don't cry."
"Huh?" A boy was sitting underneath the altar. He looked like a slave; he was wearing brown cloth shorts and what appeared to be a slave collar around his neck. He had dark, tanned skin, and almond-shaped eyes that were black.
"Who… are you?" Kagome asked him, sniffling just a bit. 'I bet I looked pathetic, but at least I'm not alone anymore!'
"Naden. How can you speak, O mighty duel monster? I can see your emotions…" He questioned, with a puzzled expression.
"Duel monster? Isn't that… a card game?" Now she was confused as well. Join the club!
"Yes, and you are one of the most powerful of all… In league with the Egyptian God cards, I suppose…" Then he mumbled quietly to himself, "Miss Ishizu must know of this… She said there was a kind, powerful card coming… But how can this be? You weren't here not too long ago…" He looked troubled, bottom lip jutting out into a little pout. Then he stood up, and looked down at her.
'He looks very big from here…But a duel monster card? How can I be a duel monster? That's not even possible!' Then she remembered her adventures, and rethought that. 'Okay, so maybe it is I guess… And my miko abilities aren't even as powerful as Kikyo's, so how! …Damn her…' At the thought of Kikyo, her powers increased even more; and sparks were flying from around her in a dance of flashing sliver dots. (Silver sparks, w00t!) Also, her hair had risen up some and floated, kind of like as if she had static electricity inside it.
"Please, O mighty god card… I meant no offense, really!" Seeing the boy cower before her made her stop, and feel bad for what she was doing. She calmed down, the sparks disappeared, and her hair settled back down on her shoulders in a gentle wave of ebony.
"Its alright… Please, tell me, who is Ishizu? Can you take me to her? I can't move any of my limbs except my head and since I put my sword away (She did before Naden showed up.), I can't move them now either. But how can I be a duel monster, much less some super-power goddess card?"
"Simple. Your power level is about the same as one of the other god cards, Obelisk the Tormenter." His face was shining in awe and wonder. (Obelisk has 4000 attack and defense, Kagome has same attack and 4100 defense. Please don't flame me, but in this story Kagome kicks butt!) "And your defense is 4100. Ishizu must see you!" He decided, nodding to affirm his statement.
"Alright, seeing as I can't move…" She looked a little pissed at that point. "Can you bring me to her? And in what country are we in?" Naden looked confused at this. 'How can she not know where she is? She is an odd one…'
"You are in Egypt," he told her. At that, Kagome's eyes nearly popped out of her head in shock.
"Egypt? WHAAA! Is this true? 'Cause if it isn't I'm going to be PISSED!" Sparks started to fly again, and hence the hair flowing up. Her halo even glowed a bit brighter. Whoopee!
"Yes, it is no lie. I swear it, Silver Goddess of Light…"
"Is that is my card name? Can you please call me Kagome?" We all know Kagome has a thing about being called 'Lady' or some other glorious title that she thought she didn't deserve. Plain Kagome was the standard for her.
"Is that what you liked to be called? It says on your card, 'Kagome the Goddess of Light'. Do you wish to be called just Kagome, then?" He asked, the perfect picture of politeness, which was just plain ODD coming from a young kid, probably her brother's age.
"Yes…" 'That's kind of obvious…' She thought crossly. And then she thought, 'wow. I am a goddess of light… HA! TAKE THAT KIKYO!' Kagome grinned inwardly at that thought.
"Umm… Have you seen a boy with a tail called Shippo? He should be around here somewhere…" She said as Naden picked her up, him being careful not to squish her, which she was grateful for.
"I have not, Kagome. Is he a friend of yours, a duel card?" The boy asked her. Clearly he didn't understand.
"I don't know if he has been changed into a duel card… But he is my adopted son. Can you find him once I'm with Ishizu? Please? I would appreciate it so much!" She asked him, near pleading at the last bit. Kagome hated feeling so helpless, but she would have to live with it… Hopefully not for too long.
"Yes, Kagome, I will. Now, Let's be going." His tone reminded her of the gentle one her mother used sometimes… He carried her outside the temple, short strides due to his painstakingly short legs. He had yet to hit another growth spurt, and he was small for his age.
'Shippo…I hope you are okay… I love you…InuYasha, Sango, Miroku, Kirara…How am I going to find you now? I think I'm in the future…I miss you all.'
Unbeknownst to them, a person had heard the whole thing. He was wearing robes with a Millennium eye on them, and they were a dark purple. He smirked, but the top part of his face was not visible. The smirk looked sinister, in a chilling way. And then, he turned around to report to his master.
In InuYasha's (HA) forest-
Normal POV
"Damn it Kagome! Where the hell are you? I need you! I can't smell you and Shippo anywhere…" InuYasha's ears drooped in defeat. A tear leaked out of the corner of his eyes, from pure frustration. He felt like he had failed them, and he knew that Sango, Miroku, and even Kirara felt the same way. He could see them now:
Sango, ruthlessly cutting down trees left and right with the Hiraikotsu, her face pure red in anger and covered in tears. Her battle outfit was ripped and torn in several places, and streaked with dust and dirt.
Miroku, too drained to stop trying to restrain Sango, was sitting down on the ground, leaning against a tree that Sango had yet to ravage. He murmured prayers for the well-being of Kagome and Shippo, and even his voice had an underlying tone of sorrow.
Kirara was lying on the ground, exhausted after trying to find Kagome and Shippo's scent, was meowing quietly. Each passing noise from her mouth continued to fade in volume, and soon, she passed out.
As InuYasha watched this take place, he clenched his fists. The sharp claws he had punctured the rough skin on his palms, and blood gushed around them. He then made a vow to himself… 'I love you Kagome… And I will do anything to get you back. No matter what… I'll save you and Shippo.' (Awww, he's being a nice guy.)
End of Chapter Two
Vanya: I am sorry that was short, but it was a lot longer than it was before… Gawd, I sucked so much back then! Feels horrible for length and idiocy I hope this chapter was better, and more detail. (Yay detail!) Eh… I feel sick again. If I don't update in TWO weeks or less you are free to all hit me on the head virtually with a big mallet, or a huge shuriken. Heck, you can even message me on instant messenger if you want, go ahead and check out my profile (it's near the end). Or email. Heheh… See ya.
