Changing Destiny by Chidori

A Broken Family

Chapter 1: A Broken Household

Saying this once: I do NOT own Inuyasha

"I told you, I told you all along not to trust him. All you did was ramble on and on that he changed. You believed that he was actually capable of 'love'. You are a very foolish girl to believe such a thing." The voice echoed over and over in the seventeen year old girl's mind. She was the verge of tears.

"You didn't listen, you fool. Now I have to suffer for your broken heart. I TOLD you not to give your heart to him. But, of course, since you are so stupid, you disregarded my advice to you."

The girl shook her head. This couldn't be happening to her. This wasn't suppose to happen. Why? Why now of all times?

"Yes, you better believe that this is happening. This is suppose to happen, especially to you. You are never destined to fall in love with anyone. Understand me?"

The girl shook her head once again. She was crying, she had tried so hard not to cry, but here she was crying. She was crying for him. For the pain he caused her.

"Crying now? You are stupid. Pull yourself together and kill that stupid piece of shit."

"SHUT UP!!" The girl screamed as loud as she could.

"Defying me again, bitch? Fine, I will handle this myself. I let you run free for too long and now I have to feel your stupid emotions of 'heartache'. I will make sure that you will never fall in love ever again. I shall destroy what you call your 'first love.' You will suffer for not listening to me."

"STOP IT!" The girl slowly sank to the ground, her hands slowly sank into the dark cold earth. Tears stained her face.

"Get up, you fool. I will not let you stop me from killing him."

The girl shook her head.

"I said get up! Or we will have to do this the hard way."

"Don't make me do this. Please. I am begging you. I still love him very much."

"That is the point, stupid. That is your punishment, your heart will always ache for him. I for one do not care, because I can't feel it as much as you can. Now, get up."

"No... please. Please don't do this." The girl clutched her swollen belly. She had been carrying this child for seven months. It is his child.

"Fine, we will do this the hard way, bitch."

"No. No! Please!" The tears that were running down her cheeks suddenly disappeared.

"You are so stupid. Your powers are useless against mine with that baby inside of you. I might as well just take control of you for the rest of your life. I should let you watch as I kill your family and everyone who you cherish. But, obviously I cannot do that, because that wench you call 'grandmother' placed me under that stupid 'enchantment spell'. She made your life worse than it was. I laugh in your face, bitch." The girl's crystal blue eyes were no longer there.

They were not the ones that held love. Her eyes turned red with hate and anger.

The girl started to laugh hysterically as she stood up slowly and clapped her hands together. A black light formed and a sword suddenly appeared. She began to walk towards the place that she used to call 'home'. She began to drag the sword slowly against the concrete floor. The guards looked at the girl they used to call 'mistress' walk towards the castle. They began to approach her.

"Wench, get away from the castle walls. Leave or we have to kill you." One of the guards told her. The girl looked at the guard with cold eyes and she smiled a very deadly smile.

"Such hatred you hold for me. Just because I am in exile and you treat me differently. I was very nice to you, Ku-San. I set you up with your beloved San-Chan. Now this is the way that you treat me. I hid your secrets from him. I know who you really are."

"It is my order. For what you did to him. You will go unpunished. And do not think that I fall for your stupid tricks."

"So, when you do not see San-Chan tomorrow, this is your consequence for treating me this way."

"You better not lay a finger on her! I will kill you!"

"Like you can. You know I am stronger and can kill you with a flick of my wrist."

"If I let you go, I will be held responsible." Ku whispered harshly into the girl's ear.

She just began to laugh hysterically and with the flick of her wrist, poison appeared. She cracked her knuckles and let her poison drip.

"Do not threaten me wench."

"Wench, that is what he called me before he put me into exile. You have actually began to use his language. Amazing Ku-San."

"Do not mock me."

"I wonder, do you even know why he put me into exile?"

"I do not go against his wishes and question his orders."

"Hmm... maybe I should clue you in. He is the one that is at fault. He betrayed me. He used me. I wished for a happy and blissful life, but he betrayed me Ku."

"I do not care for what he did to you. You are at fault."

The girl licked her lips and quickly sank her claws into his chest. She watched as his shocked eyes shot out.

"Stop it!! He does not deserve this treatment!" A voice yelled.

"Shut it. I am in charge and I will do whatever I please." The girl whispered.

The girl shoved the guard down on the floor and awaited for the others to attack her. In the blink of an eye, she killed all that was in her way. She wiped the blood off of her sleeve and stepped over everyone's body.

She resumed to drag the sword and it made scrapping sounds as she walked up the steps. All of the maids halted when they heard the sound that the sword was making. They were afraid when they saw their old mistress. All but one was afraid.

"What are you doing here?! You know that you can't be here, you are in exile!" The maid yelled as she dropped all of the clothes that was in her hands.

"Do not tell me what I can and cannot do, San-Chan."

"You are a dear friend to me and what you did was very wrong. I am not going say that you deserve this, but you are in the wrong."

"LIES! That is what he has told you! Get out of the way or you shall join your lover in hell."

The maid's eyes widened in shock. She shook her head furiously as tears began to form. Her shaking hands covered her mouth as she tried to muffle the sound of her sobs.

"H-How could you? You know that I love him! Why? Why?!"

"Shut it, you lowlife. You know, I have changed my mind, I will not kill you. I will let you do that on your own. That is, if you love him that much." The girl pushed the maid to the ground and headed towards the steps that led up to his room. All of the frightened maids had fled for their lives when they heard what their old mistress said.

She opened the door and walked into the dark room. In the corner she could see her former lover sitting and staring out at the sky. She stepped in and shut the door with a loud bang. She knew that he smelled her scent the instant she stepped into the castle.

"You will die tonight." The girl stated in a cold and emotionless voice. The man did not respond to her. He stood up and unsheathed his sword. He walked towards her and pressed the point of his sword against her pale skin.

"That is where you are wrong, my love. What you did to me is unforgivable."

"And what you did to me, you will die."

The girl pushed the sword away from her skin and it left her with a little nick her neck.

"This cursed child will die along with you, darling."

"You are one big idiot, you know that? This is your child and yet you deny it."

"If this child was mine, I would be able to smell my scent in this child, but I cannot."

"You are the only one that I mated with, you moron. And for putting me through hell for the last seven months, I will kill you!" The girl whipped the sword up and slashed it at the man.

The sound of metal against metal was heard throughout the room. Their hatred for each other grew each time their swords met and howled its song. The two for awhile until the girl felt weary.

"What the hell are you doing, bitch?!" The girl screamed inside her head.

"I am taking my body back! I will not let my child suffer! I will not let you pass into my child!" The voiced screamed.

"BITCH!" The girl's eyes suddenly turned crystal blue and right at that moment, her ex lover slashed his sword across her stomach. She screamed in pain and agony. Suddenly the sound of cries could be heard.

"My... baby..." The girl stated in a rasped voice.

"You idiot! I was almost finished fusing myself with her! But you know what? My soul is apart of her now. She has my evil inside of her."

"Shut up." The girl grabbed the sword as she felt tears forming in her eyes.

"I... I have failed my daughter." She stood up and dug the sword into her former love's chest when he was staring at the child on the floor.

"My love... I have always loved you." The girl whispered.

"Midoriko, I am sorry." The lord stated as he fell to his knees and took a look at the child he denied. It was indeed his daughter, she has blue-green eyes. He closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

"SHIORI!" The girl screamed. Suddenly, a woman in a black cloak appeared when she heard her name. When she opened the door to her master's room, the stench of blood was everywhere. She was in shock when she saw her master dead, her former mistress on the floor drenched in blood, and a very small baby on the floor screaming her head off.

"Lady Midoriko! What happened?!" The woman asked as she rushed over to her dying mistress.

"Take my daughter, take her and raise her, Shiori. I beg you, please."

Shiori looked at the girl, everything that happened in this household was false. All of the events were untrue. There was something very wrong, she knew that her Lord and Lady loved each other deeply, but she did not know what drove them to kill each other. Shiori nodded and kissed the younger girl that was her mistress on the forehead.

"I will take care of her, Lady Midoriko."

"Kagome... her name will be Kagome."

Shiori nodded instantly as she began to cry for her Lord and Lady.

Midoriko smiled and stabbed herself in the heart instantly. Shiori was terrified, she did not understand what was going on and what drove her mistress to kill herself and her husband like this. Shiori stood up with the baby, she wrapped the baby in her mother's ripped kimono. She quickly ran out of the room and screamed down the hall.

"Bankotsu! Where the hell are you?!" Shiori yelled. As soon as Shiori turned the corner she met face to face with her brother.

"Hurry, there is no time to explain. Go into the master's bedroom and grab the Lord and Lady's body. We have to get out of here, these lands are cursed. These lands are not safe to live in, I just have a feeling that there is something is very wrong here. We must leave. The next in line to inherit these lands is Naraku. That bastard will show no mercy to anyone, he is a corrupt tyrant who has been eyeing these lands. I will meet you at the gates with your belongings."

Her brother nodded his head for he knew not to question his older sister any further. She was after all the royal advisor of the Lord and Lady. She always made the right decisions and no one has ever went against her orders. He ran off in the direction that Shiori had came from and she ran towards her family's part of the castle. She gathered all that she needed and ran to the front gates.

The whole household was in chaos when the news of the death of the Lord and Lady spread. Everyone began to run about and not sure what to do. Some sent messengers on horseback to tell the other Lords and Ladies.

Soon, Bankotsu came out of the castle with his Lord and Lady's bodies. Shiori helped her brother place their masters on the horses. The two were off and running once they secured their Lord and Lady.

"What is going on?" Bankotsu asked as they reached a safe distance away from the castle.

"They killed each other. I don't understand it, though. They were so in love."

"Shiori, whose baby is that? She is so small."

Shiori smiled and looked down at the now sleeping baby.

"It's Kagome. She is the heiress to these lands. She is Lady Midoriko and Lord Hiroshi's daughter."

"Look, Shiori, she has a wound on her right arm." Shiori looked at the baby's arm and quickly wrapped it up.

"It must be from the Lord's sword. She was born into an environment that was filled with hatred. I feel so bad for her."

"Don't, Shiori. We are here to raise and protect her for our Lord and Lady. This is what they want. They want us to take care of her." Bankotsu smiled at the baby's sleeping form.

"Kagome..."
