Edge of
Heaven
By Devon Masterson-Bond
Level
Nine
________________________________
Everyone stared intently at
Richard. This was stupid but he would play along. “I have been having dreams
about Inu Yasha and his birthday.” Kagome flushed. “I can only remember bits and pieces of it.”
“That was last time I saw
everyone alive,” Shi walked over to the window. “I am not sure exactly what
happened, Inu Yasha made me stay behind. The next day Kaede and I went looking
for everyone and we discovered Miroku, Sango, and Inu Yasha’s bodies along with
Sesshomaru and Naraku. It must have been some sort of battle royal.” He turned
to Kagome. “I thought you were dead too, but when Kaede did not sense the Shikon
jewel anywhere we knew you went back to your time. After that I waited for you
to show up.”
Richard crossed his arms.
“Okay that’s fine and good, but what does this have to do with us?”
“I believe you are the reincarnation of Inu Yasha,” Shi
replied. He looked at everyone in the room. “All of you are reincarnations;
Kirby is Miroku’s reincarnation, and you,” he pointed to Kelly, “look just like
Sango.”
“That explains the dreams,” Kirby mused.
“What dreams?” Richard crossed his arms and stared at his
twin intently.
“I told you about it the before where I am the monk and I
am chasing after women.” Kirby waited for a light of recognition in Richards
eyes then sighed. “If you’d listen to me more often then we would not be in
this mess.” He turned to Kagome and looked sympathetic. “Kagome, I pity you
having to be stuck with him for the rest of your life.”
“She should pity me for having to share a gene pool with
you,” Richard snapped.
“Ok children let’s stay focused here,” Shi replied.
“Shippo what happened after everyone…died?” Kagome asked.
Shi sighed. “When you and the others didn’t come back,
Kaede and I went looking for you and we found the battle field…” he sentence
trailed. Grief washed over him for a moment. It had been five hundred years. He
should be over it by now. “We buried everyone and returned to the village. We
sent out search parties for you, Kagome, but they all came back empty handed so
we figured you succeeded in completing the Shikon jewel and went back home.
Several years went by and Kaede died, once she was gone I left as well. The
villagers were getting restless with having me around now that I started to
look like an adult so I went off by myself.”
“I see,” Kagome ran her fingers through her hair as she
absorbed the information.
“Now there are only a handful of us left,” she sighed.
“I’m one of the only demons left in Tokyo.”
The dark haired girl shook her head. He had to be
mistaken. “That can’t be, Richard…” her sentence trailed as she looked towards
Richard’s shaking head
“Kirb and I are metamorphs. We’ve never seen an upper
level demon until our so called friend revealed himself today.” Rich shot Shi a
look. He could kill something. The situation was just getting worse and worse,
next thing they knew they would all be locked in some sort of deadly mortal
combat against some larger than life villain.
“With the government and the packs regulating everyone so
closely, I had to protect myself,” he argued explained.
“He does have a point,” Kirby replied.
“Whose side are you on?” Rich growled.
“Mine,” Kirby answered then looked towards Kagome. “We’re
metamorphs. With the exception of Shi, demons of today are low level creatures.
They do not speak or take human form.”
“Then what are metamorphs?” Kelly asked. Kagome smirked
slightly to let her know she was wondering the same thing. She was glad that
she was not the only one in the dark here.
“Metamorphs are humans with their demon heritage intact,”
Shi explained. “Demons that mated with humans descendants 10 generations down
the road. Of these already rare births one in ten is a metamorph. If two
metamorphs mate then all children are metamorphs and if a metamorph and a
normal human mate, then it is a fifty-fifty chance; like Kirby and Rich. Their
mother was a human.
“So you can also see the potential problem on our hands.”
Kirby motioned towards Kagome. The other packs are going to be after Rich and
Kagome, well my niece or nephew. A half demon would be great asset in power struggles;
at least that is how they will be thinking.”
“Something else for David to get on my ass for,
wonderful,” Rich groaned.
Kagome’s hands balled into fists as her face flushed. What
she would not give for subjugation beads to help tame that mouth! “I’ve deal
with worse,” she said bravely. Leave it to karma to get her goals in order with
a spice of adventure (the whole damn can). “Have you come across anybody else,
Shi?”
“Jaken,” Shi rolled his eyes at the thought of the
annoying imp. He could still hear him squawking about finding his precious Lord
Sesshomaru from his last visit. Jaken was part of the reason he decided to
break it off with Rin in the first place. There had to be a reason that she was
still alive and he was pretty sure it had little to do with being him for the
rest of eternity. He shook his head to clear out the darker thoughts, they were
still friends. He would have to make do with that. “I found him about six years
ago when I found Rin.”
“Rin was a little girl when I last saw her. How is she
still alive?”
“She’s an adult now,” Shi answered.
“Wait a minute,” Rich sat up. “Rin? Rin your roommate
Rin?”
“Rin who’s scent is still all over you Rin?” Kirby added
grinning knowingly.
Violet eyes narrowed at their mirror image. “Will you lay
off, perv?” Rich snapped. “This is not the time for your dumbass jokes and
innuendos.”
Kirby’s eyes widened slightly. He was only trying to
lighten the stifling mood. “You’re right. I am going to outside while the
adults talk.” He stood to his feet.
“Did you have to be so hard on him?” Kagome asked rounding
on Rich.
“Though he was wrong, that was harsh, Rich. Cut Kirb some
slack. We call can’t be neurotic like you under stress.” Shi shook his head.
“And I can fight my own battles by the way.”
“Whatever. Try living with that lech the rest of your
life,” Rich argued. “I am not neurotic.”
“You’re an asshole,” Kelly corrected. “He’s your twin.”
Rich folded his arms. “Look, Chicky, if anyone else needs
a clue it would be you. When you’re crying in the morning because you let him
pop your cherry and he won’t return your call or he’s with someone else you
will remember I warned you.”
Kelly’s face burned. “Chicky!?” She jumped to her feet top
tackle him when Shi caught her in his arms.
“We’re on the same team,” Shi replied trying to calm her
down. “With your memories resurfacing and Kagome’s pregnancy we can not fight amongst
ourselves.” He looked toward the object of offense. “Rich, take a walk.”
Rich looked at Shi as though he were crazy but left
anyway. There was more he needed to know and everything was getting out of
hand. He hadn’t snapped this badly in quite some time. “Fine.”
“Kagome, why don’t you….” Shi’s sentence trailed. The dark
haired girl was gone. “Where could she…?”
his thought was cut off when he heard Richard growl. For someone who had no
emotional attachments he was quite protective of Kagome. “Inu Yasha’s personality is coming out. Better get out there and break
this one up too.”
9-9-9
Kirby walked into the small shrine and looked around the
old well in interest. He rubbed his tender palm as several indistinguishable
memories swirled in his mind. This place triggered them for some reason. He
felt drawn to it besides history. “You’re not going to tell me your secrets are
you?” he asked mostly to himself. “Well at least in my past I am an only child.
It’s depressing to know your own twin hates your guts.”
“He maybe an asshole, but I don’t think he hates you,”
Kagome replied walking inside the shrine. She step forward hesitantly, her last
memories of the place were less than pleasant and she had been avoiding the
well. It was a blessing and a curse; it allowed her to know Inu Yasha and the
others, but it took them away from her as well. “He just doesn’t have tact. Inu
Yasha was like that in the beginning and some days he was worse than when I
first met him.”
“You shouldn’t be here,” Kirby replied. “He may get the
wrong idea.”
Kagome shook her head. “I hardly know Richard and he does
not tell me what to do.”
Kirby smiled. She had moxy, he liked that. “True, but your
scent tells us all we need to know. You are my brother’s mate and like me you
are stuck with him.”
“Inu Yasha is….was my mate. Richard is just his
reincarnation. Just like I am Kikyo’s reincarnation. We are all different.”
“He likes you though; he just doesn’t know how to deal
with that. Most ladies confuse him for me and he gets smacked around a lot or
propositioned. While that is funny some days, lately it has been getting rather
old and he has absolutely no respect for me. Ah, I live a charmed life to be
sure.” He sighed then grinned. “You like him too. Once you’re through grieving
you’ll see it.”
“I would rather talk about something else. I am supposed
to be cheering you up,” Kagome painted a smile on her face. She did not even
want to think about how twisted real life had become for her.
“A smile from a beautiful lady always warms my heart.”
“You actually get somewhere with those lines?” she asked chuckling.
They were quite cheesy, but she can imagine a few well placed looks and lines
could get a guy far. Kirby was not exactly the elephant man. He and Rich were
gorgeous. Of course she was feeling herself drawn to the asshole and not the
slightest bit by the charmer. Why was that?
“Kirby?” Rich growled as he entered the shrine.
“It told you he may get the wrong idea,” Kirby reminded
her. He stood in front of Kagome. His hand was killing him and now his brother
was acting like some sort of possessive jerk. “Rich, we were just talking so
calm down.”
“I’m sure.” Rich took a step forward and eyed his brother
carefully. The situation seemed kosher, but he could not put anything passed
his twin. “Don’t give me a reason,
Kirby.”
Shi and Kelly rushed into the shrine. “Rich calm down,” he
yelled then fell short.
“I am calm.” He rolled his eyes, but his voice still had
an edge to it. “Why do I….” A purple slight burst through Kagome’s chest and
filled the room. By instinct the others shielded their eyes from the
brilliance.
“What was that energy?” Kelly asked once it dissipated.
“I think it the Shikon Jewel,” Kagome answered. She rubbed
her chest gingerly. So the jewel did go back into her body.
“Well don’t do that again. I like having my retinas,” Rich
snapped sarcastically. There was something wrong and he did not like it. He
felt almost as though he was in danger.
“It’s not like I did it on purpose, jerk…”
“Kirby!” Shi called out. He rushed towards the metamorph’s
body. Richard’s eyes widened as he felt his insides drop. All teasing and
insults aside this was not something he ever wanted to face.
To be continued…
