Forgetting the past.... Literally
Chappie 1
"Konnichiwa, my name is Kagome, Higurashi Kagome. And my life had been officially screwed up. I remember my 18th birthday as if it was yesterday...
#@#@#@#@#@#@#Flashback#@#@#@#@#@#@ I had woken up on my 18th birthday as any other day. Inuyasha howling for Raman, Shippo being the overly hyper kit he was and a loud *slap* and "hentai" as Miroku groped Sango. But everything seemed louder than before. My ears twitched at every new sound. Wait, my ears twitched?! I went up to feel the sides of my head, but my ears were not there, my hands wandered up my head to meet two fuzzy fox ears sticking out of my head. Then I noticed that I had something sticking out of my back. I gasped when I saw two large wings coming out right on the inside of my shoulder blades. I reached my hand out to feel them. They were furry! Weren't wings supposed to be feathery? I turned my head back to see them. They were a beautiful silver color with black tips and when they moved, they glimmered aqua green. This was strange. I slid out of my sleeping bag and felt something furry against my leg. Many furry things. There were.... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, wait, 7!! 7 Tails protruding out of my back. They were silver, aqua streaked and black tipped. I had a suspicion that my ears were the same. I quickly rummaged through my bag to find a compact. As I was looking, I noticed claws on my hands. They were long and razor sharp and a shimmering silver and aqua green. 'I probably have fangs too' I thought. I was so calm and accepting of it that I surprised even myself. But it felt so right, like this is supposed to be the way I am. When I found the compact, I opened it, I found that I had sparkling sapphire blue eyes with silver flecks and swirls and as I guessed, silver and aqua ears with black tips. My face had also changed. It was narrower and more mature looking, but still beautifully young. I had two aqua stripes on each cheek, the same on my forearms and ankles. The four main elements swirling together on my forehead. My hair had also changed. It was still mainly raven black, but It reached my knees and had streaks of silver and ...(ooh, ooh, let me guess! Let me guess, Aqua!!!! Getting predictable, ne? Sorry I'll go to my corner now) yup, aqua green. It was also finer and shinier. I also felt as if a magnifying glass of x100 had been put on all my senses. I was adjusting so fast to them I had to wonder, how had I gotten along without them.
I looked around and took a deep breath. I could smell Sango, Shippo and Miroku going off to find firewood and Inuyasha and something that smells of death and earth and decay.... Kikyo! They were deep in the woods but I could still sense them. I felt betrayal stab at my heart, but not because I loved Inuyasha, but because I considered him a friend. I could smell them getting *cough* intimate but I didn't cry, I was stronger than that. making up my mind, I knew I must leave him, but I would miss Sango, who was like an older sister to me, Miroku, some kind of lecherous older brother, and Shippo, who had recently taken to calling me Kaa-san, or mother. I felt like one to him too. If he would come, I think I would take him with me. After losing his real parents, I don't think he could bear it if I left him too. Naraku was long gone but we still looked for the remaining shards of the jewel. I had found and taken them by myself, covering their power with mine. I wonder if my powers still work as I am now what they were intended to fight, my had glowed aqua green, 'yup, still there'. I was much better than Kikyo in my Miko abilities but that kisama still picked the clay pot over me. I fumed to myself but kept my emotionless mask on. I knew that Inuyasha was planning to use the jewel to bring Kikyo back and that would kill me. No matter how kind-hearted and generous I was, I was not going to allow that to happen. This soul is rightfully mine the second Kikyo died and I will not give it to the clay pot. While I'm ranting, did you notice how calm I was about being a Youkai? well as my memories trickle back to me, I understand that this is my true form, I was adopted and had a concealment spell put on me so I would appear human until my 18th birthday when I would have my real form as well as my memories back. My father and mother had been silver kitsunes while I had a falcon demon as my great great great great great great great and I think one more great grandmother. It was a wonder how I still had genes from her but the wings were great! I had power over all elements and was a Psychic. They had been killed and in an attempt to save me, threw me into a well with a note and a barrier keeping all with hostile intentions away. I had been found and taken in by my foster mother, Ms. Higurashi. The note said my name was Kagome Harusame but my last name was changed to suit evil lawyers.
A blood curdling scream jerked me out of my thoughts "Sango" I whispered as I raced off with my newfound speed. What I found would haunt me for the rest of my life. In a clearing were Shippo, Miroku and Sango mutilated on the ground and Inuyasha standing over them, blood on his claws. The worst thing was that his eyes were golden, not red. He was in his right mind and he still killed my, our best friends. "What have you done?" I asked calmly, though inside, a hurricane was raging. "Who are you?" he asked, sneering "and why should you care, I am looking for Kagome, I want to kill her so my precious Kikyo can have her soul back, they were just in the way" I looked at him, I saw him shiver, he had good reason to also. My face was still cold and emotionless, but my eyes were burning in hate, anger and pain. "Inuyasha" I said in a voice so cold and chilling, it would've froze the seven depths of hell over "it's been three years, but you throw it all away for a rotting corpse? you just killed just about everyone who will ever care for you and I have every reason to care about my friends, now you are planning to kill me too?" "Kagome, is that really you, how are you demon, anyhow, yes I am planning to kill you so Shi-ne!!!" with that, he lunged at me with Tetsusaiga, but it didn't transform, I caught it between my fingers and said "it was made for you to protect humans, not clay bitches" in that same cold voice "I flicked it out of his hands and he growled "Kikyo is not a bitch! I will kill you with my claws!" then he started to slash clumsily at me. I dodged every one with precision and speed. Sango and Miroku had taught me how to fight and I had learned quickly, I excelled in hand-to- hand and swordswoman ship (lol) and with my youkai powers; I was more than a match for Inuyasha. Quickly, I muttered a freezing spell and froze Inuyasha in place. Then I said, you are a bastard Inuyasha, after all we have been through, and this is what you do? Have you no sense of honor? Go to hell with your clay whore" then I chanted a spell that suddenly came to mind,
Forces of hell, hear my prayer Take what is yours, What is just half-living, And take with it,
The one who is willing
To live in hell To rot in flames To be beside The one he claims! At that, I saw the ground open and flames crackling, two black hands came up to grab Kikyo (who was hiding in the trees) and Inuyasha, who was still immobilized and drag them down. As it closed, I took the Tetsusaiga from where it lay and tied it to my waist. I used my fire powers to cremate my friends. Then I took their ashes and buried them at the roots of the Goshinboku tree. I said a prayer for them and watched as blue souls escaped out of them. I knew they were free and happy now. With their families at last."
@#@#@#@#@#@#@#End flashback@#@#@#@#@#@
From that day, I became colder and unapproachable to all but my very closest friends, my fear of killing gone the day I sent Inuyasha and Kikyo to hell. I fused the Shikon no tama together. As I had no wish for it yet, I was still its protector and the spirit of Midoriko inside of it had told me that the safest place it could be now was in me. So it had mixed and interweaved with my blood. I could call upon it when the need arise. I would be immortal now, to protect the jewel. On that day, Midoriko came to me to train me. Now that she was in my blood, I could contact her at any time. Now she taught me in my Miko powers. I had learned to purify anything, wards and ofudas, numerous spells, healing, how to shape-shift and all those other good things. Midoriko was amazed, the Shikon must've had a great influence on me in the 15 years I had been sheltering it. I had far surpassed her and Kikyo was like a flea in comparison (no offense myouga). I had also changed my outfit since my school uniform was very impractical and in Sengoku Jidai, I looked like a whore. I now had a long black cloak, open at the front and a black tube top underneath, with a silver Kitsune on it and a silver dragon winding around it., I also had a pair of black, flare pants and I was barefoot. I also had 2 crystal anklets on my right foot and 2 of the same kind on my left arm. I also had a silver circlet on my brow with a black rose dangling on it. I had been training all my youkai abilities under the iron paw (lol) of Sesshoumaru, or as I call him, fluffy. I had given him his arm back in exchange to the training. I was taught in strength, speed, agility and almost every kind of weapon known to man or demon. He was merciless when it came to training and in spars, he wouldn't refrain from hurting me, stopping just before the killing blow. I appreciated that he didn't go easy on me and the always- present danger during training forced me to learn quickly, properly and kept me on my toes. If I had any serious injuries, he would heal me with the Tensaiga, but most of the time I had to heal myself so that my body would adapt and heal faster. Her miko powers helped a lot in that too.
My favorite weapon was the glaive. It was a long staff like pole, capped with an 18 inch curved blade. At the end of training, he gave me a sword made from one of his own claws. It was a cross between Tetsusaiga and Tensaiga. It was double-edged so on one side was like Tetsusaiga and the other, Tensaiga. I called it Tensusaiga, nifty ne? Midoriko gave me a glaive of my own. It was a very special one. The pole part was made of enchanted wood from the Goshinboku, the god tree. It had the blood of the gods running up and down little veins all along it. The blade was made of pure diamond, never to break or crack. It was also a channel for my more complicated elemental abilities. I had learned that I had power over all elements, another quirk; mostly kitsunes had only one, like Shippo and his foxfire. Gawd, thinking about him is painful...
I have lived for 500 years now. King Enma has now put me in charge of the barriers between the realms. I can travel freely between them now. I go and visit Sesshoumaru once in awhile now. He is King of Makai and I continue to amaze demons as I always approach him fearlessly and without all the respect and shit. I need to go and face my family. They are just as I left them. It was painful talking about what happened but I did it. They are suggesting that I go to school as my friends and classmates might get suspicious. I reluctantly agreed. But 500 years of living pretty much teaches you all you'll ever need to know. I'm not much of a people person now. I am too cold an emotionless. As I fly to the Goshinboku tree, I perched myself on a branch, as I had done for the last 500 years since 'He' left me. I take time to remember my confrontation with my parents today....
So, how wuz it? plz review, I really like feedback from readers. Makes me feel all warm and bubbly inside jks, just review and remember, send me flamez if u wanna, but I just use them 2 burn my history homework. Ja ne
