By: Kage Otome (Shadow Maiden)

Chapter 5: Kaahr

She hadn’t slept a wink. Sure she’d closed her eyes and allowed her body to recuperate, but sleeping was something entirely different. In fact the last time she had fallen into a true sleep was at least 500 years ago from her time. Sure she dozed lightly but never slept. After all it was 500 years past that the war between her realm, The Land of the Lost and the Land of the Forgotten had waged. There were major differences between the two even if they sounded or were in ways related to each other.

The Land of the Forgotten was ruled by her arch rival, names won’t be mentioned...as of yet. He was a real masochistic bastard. Annoying to boot. In the Land of the Forgotten dwelled those whose souls were more then often bitter from being well---forgotten. They are the ones that dwindled away until they were nothing, simply from the fact that nobody cared for them--nobody noticed until it was too late. They were the Jane and John doe’s in murder cases that nobody knows. The Forgotten ones.

However in her realm dwelled those who had lost their way. Those of lost dreamers, lost lovers, just lost. They were misled and more then often it was too late for them to go back to how things used to be. The lost were the ones who were betrayed, abandoned, misled, taken advantage, they stumbled upon her realm and it was deemed the Land of the Lost. They had come together to build a realm that was both beautiful and tragic. Either that or they were exiled into the land of the lost...Most of the time that was the case. But occasionally one wandered there.

She had been exiled.

She sighed, carefully moving out of the male’s embrace. Stretching she knew the majority of them had barely slept and if they did, it was in shifts with those from that realm. Those they trusted, if you asked her--trust was for the foolhardy. In other words the only ones that really slept were Yusuke and Kurama. Simply because exhaustion took it’s toll on the two, the pain of lost family or in the toushin’s case of lost energy considering he used quite a bit attempting to break out of Sharan’s little bubble barrier.

Standing she cracked her neck before her legs tensed in preparation. Jumping into the air as a large raven-like creature flew across the sky. Grabbing the creature, carefully, making sure not to snap it’s wings she landed silently. What Sharan didn’t know was that over the past 1000 years she had gained a few more---abilities. One of them was speaking to animals. After all she had thus since ascended to even higher rank--it wasn’t like she was a mere mortal.

The bird squawked angrily.

Kagome made a soft noise in the back of her throat subduing the creature.

Kagome.

The raven-thing looked at her in surprise.

Kaahr.

Need your help.

Kaahr looked up at her cocking it’s head.

Why Kaahr help you?

Can give freedom from form.

Kaahr’s eyes widened in surprise.

How you know?

Easy--You are Raven-Crow Hybrid. Cursed--Leave mark.

You set Kaahr free, if Kaahr help?

Yes.

Kaahr help.

Scout ahead group---Eyes wide for danger, report back.

Understand.

Good.

How Kagome track?

Feather, yours.

Okay.

Kagome plucked one of the raven’s silky feathers careful not to cause him more pain then absolutely necessary. Well she assumed it was a he, the voice was masculine in an odd sort of way. His voice reminded her dimly of something she couldn’t seem to put her finger on. Something very familiar.

Go.

Lifting her hand the bird from where it was perched flew off, high above the Labyrinth. Kagome had discovered most animals were enthralled with the fact she could speak to them and understand them---that was why they helped her and the fact she had abilities that could help them in return, like the skill to undo curses. It came in handy especially when dealing with those who were turned into animals from a curse. After all she had once been human albeit a very powerful hybrid of human. She still retained those ‘abilities’ now that she was immortal, many who had once been mortal retained their abilities and gained others. Why? Because they were immortal--and they could. Of course, they also had the ability to give away one of their abilities to another, they would still retain the particular ability to some degree and have the counter acting ability to revoke gifting a person their ability under certain circumstances.

Kagome was the ultimate weapon, which was why she was gifted with so much power, so many different abilities that not even Sharan knew of. She was gifted mostly during the time of the War between the Lost and Forgotten. Because she stood for the most part alone on that battlefield with only a few choice warriors and an army of 200, while her rivals army stood a great deal larger at 1000. However she was not a selfish ruler, she shared her power, gave it to the land so it could flourish, the people who needed nourishment and occasionally she gifted a lucky one with a gift. Of course as we all know--with great power, comes great sacrifice. There is a price for everything.

She in a final attempt to win the war had used everything she had, her abilities, her power, her true essence to defeat him, sending him back. He threw in the flag so to speak, it’s not like he had a choice. But it left her drained and unable to defend herself against being recaptured by Sharan. Contrary to belief she wasn’t invincible, she did have weaknesses. She didn’t like to show it. Kagome had a very bad feeling about this entire situation. She felt--by the time this was over, she’d of given some of her abilities to her ‘team’.

She didn’t like this feeling at all.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hiei watched her through narrowed claret eyes. She was either a God or something close to it. There was no way she’d have survived alone the last time if she wasn’t. Either that or he was just not seeing something. He knew she masked her power and true capabilities but that’s what disturbed him. He didn’t know what she was capable of. He was certain that Sharan had not been informed of some of her abilities. Like speaking to that bird-creature. What else was she hiding?

He couldn’t break through her mental barriers and every time he tried the zaps got stronger until he was sure he’d pass out the next time he tried. Silvery blue clashed with flashing crimson and she glared. ‘No one trespasses in my mind.’ She thought satisfactorily as her mental barrier continuously shocked him, sending him away with an even more powerful blast then the last, each time he attempted to enter her mind.

“What are you?”

Kagome cocked a brow.

By now they had everyone, even the injured Tomo’s attention.

“There is no way your that powerful without being a God.”

“I’m immortal.” Kagome spoke softly.

“Shorty’s asking what the hell are ya? Not immortal, but what race?”

“I was a miko/sorceress.” Kagome spoke with her eyes closed in contemplation of their questions.

“Was?”

“When I was ‘mortal’. “ She replied.

“But what are you now?”

“I suppose you would call me a demigod of sorts. I will never have the power of a full-fledge God nor the amount of abilities to do unbelievable things, but I do have more power and capabilities then most. I am half-god, half-something else. I’m not sure what you would classify me as...” Kagome trailed off shrugging.

“So that’s why we aren’t worthy of fighting you.” Naraku sneered jealously.

“No. It’s because your mortal. You can’t kill me, however you can fight me, but I guarantee you’ll lose.” Kagome spoke with a quiet confidence her tone anything but arrogant.

“How did you survive the last time?” Nakago spoke up his eyes cool.

She cocked a brow.

“Water, food, sleep, things us humans need to survive?” Nakago said in reference to himself and Tomo, unsure if the other ‘demons’ needed such nourishment.

“I don’t need it. “

“Beg your pardon?”

“Sleep, food, water--they are very mortal needs. I don’t need it--nourishment to survive. But since it is necessary for you, I suppose I could do something about it. Sleeping, napping, is a way to faster rejuvenate myself. But food and water are but mere pleasures that one indulges in. However, Sharan isn’t one to kill you off that way, he prefers death to be bloody. I have no doubt he will provide for you in one way or another.” Kagome spoke with a quiet almost undetectable bitterness towards the end.

Sharan had played her, hurt her.

He’d cut her more deeply then any blade could.

She wouldn’t, couldn’t forgive him for that.

Gods, demigods, Immortals---they were just as vengeful as any mortal.

Perhaps even more...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tomo groaned in agony, the wound was obviously causing him a great deal of pain. He had absolutely refused to be carried--especially by her. Kagome snorted. That damn pride of his was going to get him killed, he was injured and weak he should just allow one of them to carry him. Stubborn as a mule that one. Of course Kagome pondered---I’d of done the same thing.

Stopping for a break, Kagome placed her hand on Tomo’s shoulder and swept his feet out from under him, sending him sprawling into her arms. Quickly laying him on the ground she removed the bandages and prodded the wound slightly. The others stared at her confused. Placing her hands over the wound she began to repair the damage done, picturing it in her mind and willing it to happen. The wound slowly began to close under her power. All that was left was a small scratch like wound. It wouldn’t heal because it seemed that there was a slight infection starting. Lightly sniffing above the wound, her tongue darted out and began to lick the wound, her saliva killing the beginnings of an infection and sealing the wound.

He was as good as new.

Nodding to herself she stood and proceeded to continue on, not once noticing or caring about the odd look on some of their faces, especially the humans. Not to mention Kurama’s. He’d thought she was incapable of healing of course she didn’t say it directly...Narrowing golden eyes in contemplation he grinned darkly.

‘She’s clever--she never directly told me she could or could not heal...’

Kaahr flew down towards the group squawking something in Kagome’s ear. She nodded. Looking at her odd group of companions she shrugged before walking in the front taking a left. So far Kaahr had proven himself a good lookout. An even better scout. The large bird landed on her shoulder, perching himself high so he could better take in his surroundings and rest at the same time. Just because he had trusted her, that didn’t mean he trusted her companions. He just knew she would not betray him---she had to much honor for that. Nipping at her ear, he twittered getting a very bad feeling all of a sudden.

Well, well...

It looked as if the first challenge was upon them.
