Sun filtered through the tree's and landed on her face. She took in one breath of the sweet smelling air and let her body just sink to the ground. Shutting her eyes she was many miles away and part of another life and time. Nothing could hurt her in this special place in her minds eye. It was a place that only she could go to.
A Snap of a twig made her jump and move to her feet with the grace of a cat. Her eyes moved around where she was laying when she spotted him. Not even two feet away stood a demon that had many hearts broken around him.
She flipped her long black hair back and squared her shoulders waiting for him to speak. Her brown eyes grew smaller and she looked like she was just being bothered by his presence. Never one to allow how she felt about something or someone to show she moved it inside her more.
"What could you possibly want now?" She demanded of him.
"I have come for your help." His deep sensual voice said. It felt like it moved in her body and bounced back and forth.
"Oh?" She said now looking at the ground which was such a pretty shade of red and brown from the leaves of the human world's trees. A soft smile formed on her face as other thoughts of another time and place started to form.
"He is in danger and you know the people you left him with better than I.Don't you think its time he knew the truth and time for us to act like us should?" His voice has now become soft but still strong. Just like his lithe arms and legs.
"How do you know…?" She asks him feeling a lump in her throat forming and her heart skipping a beat or two. Once again her mind skips backwards just sixteen years back and her breath catches as she awaits the answer.
"Koenma…he called us in for a case and ...it seems He is involved yet unknowing." He tells her
She looks over at him and sees a look of fear in those bright green eyes. Then a flash of familiar gold and she stares at him for a moment before turning away. Thoughts and feelings of another time slamming into her body making it hard to think through.
"And you think he would be good with you?" She says to him and looks back with distaste.
"I feel we both can help him." He says softly.
"Fine then Kurama I shall go get our kit and then when we shatter his world you can call yourself the destroyer." She says with a cruel look on her angelic features.
"Go get our kit and we shall add to what he knows and offer him some of his past and future. I am not willing to make him choose us or the parents that have raised him so. But I will not stand by and watch him die knowing who he is." Came a reply soft but with a sharp edge none the less as one would expect.
"Fine…" She says and turns around and walks away from the Demon she once loved. One that she had risked it all for and got left behind in the dirt after she had their son. For the great Yoko never wanted to be part of a child's life.
Kagome just shuddered with her dark thoughts of her past. She got on a train heading towards a different part of Tokyo and thought of her life as it was. The greatest love in her life she left for a demon. She betrayed Inu Yasha for nothing. No her son was not nothing.
Her arms moved to hug herself tight against the winds on the outside and those that cut through her insides. At the age of sixteen she had fallen in love with two demons. Only one got the chance to impregnate her. Only one broke her heart and she in turn broke another's
After coming to the present she found out she could not mother the child even with her family's help. It just was too hard for her. Using her priestess powers she found a way t hide his demon history and thank the gods he looked more human than demon. But still the day she gave him to a lady who could not have any children of her own was a day that hurt the young woman.
She got off the train and walked down the streets of a place she had never been to before. She never had any reason to come to this place. But the rumors of the area had been running around on the strangeness of the area.
Still lost in her thoughts a cry was heard and she looked up. Only to see a young man sail through the air and land in a fountain. Kagome worried that he could be hurt ran towards him. Only to see he was replaced by a she.
With all the weird things that have ever accrued this had to take the cake. The boy was a girl? Or did she miss him getting out? Or maybe….She shook her head and put on a friendly smile and walked over.
"Hello….need a hand getting out?" She offered the wet red head that had a look of pure anger in her bright blue eyes.
"Na I got it…stupid tom boy express." She grumbled as she got out.
This once again made her blink and cock her head to the side. Not wishing to upset the girl but needing some answers Kagome takes in a deep breath allowing her to gain some confidence.
"Do you know what happened to the young man that was just here?" She asked her but watching her closely.
"Oh...Ah….your not from here are ya?" Came the question with a scrunched up nose of the girl next to her.
"No I am not. I just came to speak with a Saotome, Ranma…I need his help." Kagome told her.
"What ya need his help with? " She asked and crossed her arms over her good sized breasts.
Kagome looked at the girl and took in a bit of an uneasy breath. Not sure what to say or how to say anything but she did need the youth's help. Without his help her son would surely die.
" It's a family matter and I wish to only speak with him on these matters..there is money in the offer…" She offered to the girl and watched as those bright blue eyes gained several inches.
Then Kagome watched as the girl moved to stand right in front of her and look her over closely. It was not much different than how Kagome herself looked the other over. Eyes went over her body and examined her closely and eyes that where a bright blue now where hard and showed not what the other was thinking.
"Follow me." The girl said and turned around walking towards what looked to be a small clinic.
Kagome followed her and wondered if Ranma was in this place or if the child was simply leading her somewhere she lived to talk Kagome more before revealing her friend. She could not help but think this girl was very protective and it was nice he had someone like this. She even reminded Kagome of her friends she had in school.
Thoughts that turned to her past made her mind not focus on what was going on. Soon they had come to the clinic and she was still very much in deep thought. It took the red head several attempts before she got the older woman to snap out of it.
This caused Kagome to smile sheepishly at her. A deep blush on her cheeks from her embarrassment. This did not happen to often to her. Now to be caught by a child doing it was just…weird.
"Come in and let's talk." Was what the girl said to her?
Now once entering the clinic it was empty of patients but inside was a bit in need of a run through to put magazines and books back on shelves and toys in the toy box over to the left hand side near a wall framed with art work local kids donated to the doctor.
A Small table with four chairs stood right there in what had to be deemed as the kids corner with spit crayons and paper that was not done being colored or drawn on. A Pain went right through her heart at this sight. For thoughts of her child filled her head.
The girl excused herself for a moment so she could talk with the doctor. While she went into the other room Kagome found herself picking up after the kids. Did her son have a knack for drawing? Or was he like her brother and loved building things? Was he a dreamer?
She moved chairs to the table and crayons back in their place and moved on to clean up the other things. Her thoughts on the child she had to give up at such a young age. A Child her heart and thoughts never seemed to stray from.
Was he in love? Had he had his first kiss? What sports did he like if any? All these thoughts kept her mind running and spinning, by the time the red head reappeared Kagome had tears in her brown eyes.
The girl waved her into a room and they both sat down on two well worn chairs. For all purposes this had to be a room that was used as an office. A Big desk stood off in a corner thought it was covered with patients' records, insurance papers, and other objects one would expect from a doctor. Even a Skeleton that hung on a hook stood in the room.
" I am sorry for not saying anything when you asked for Ranma…but see I don't know you and I had to see what type of person you where first. " The girl said.
Kagome went to open her mouth to say something but the girl shut her u with a look that said let me finish.
Then in a quick motion the girl stood up and grabbed a tea kettle that was sitting on the desk and poured the hot water on her. Thus transforming into a male. The now very much male Ranma Saotome looked down and sighed a deep sigh.
"Sorry once more, I am Ranma Saotome and what did my pops do now?" He asked her.
All Kagome could do was faint from all the emotions and over load that was now her brain. As the woman lay in the chair Ranma stared at her and sighed. Picking her up he went and put her in a room on a bed a patient would sit or lay upon when seeing doctor tofu. All he could do was wonder more on what this woman could want with him.
