Chapter 1

Summary: After Kagome closed up the well for good, she finds out that she is pregnant with Inuyasha's child. Eight months later she gives birth and it turns out to be a girl. Sixteen years later, Sakura is angered by her mother. What will Kagome do? R&R! Rated T, for Teens.

She woke up with a huge yawn and stared up at her ceiling. She got up and walked over to her dresser. Opening the top drawer she took out her tank top and jean shorts. After putting them on she looked in the mirror. She gazed at her long silver hair then traveled back up to her two amber eyes that sparkled in the sun's rays.

Sakura always wondered why she was different from everybody else. Her hair was silver. 'What human has silver hair? Well except the fact when they get old it looks silver. But that's old people. I'm a teenager.' Sakura frowned as she ran her long, slim fingers through the long strands. She walked out of the bedroom and spotted her uncle coming up the stairs.

"Ohayo, Sakura." Souta greeted his niece as he climbed the top stair. He was very tall, now as a graduate of Tokyo's prized university, he works in a corporate business for sports management. Sakura smiled sweetly at her uncle.

"Good to see you, Uncle Souta." She replied. He smiled then walked past her into his room. Sakura watched him disappear into his room, but she couldn't help but ask him the questions that plagued her mind.

"Uncle Souta. Have you ever wondered why I look different then everybody else?" She asked inquisitively.

He just stood in his room for a minute and returned to the bedroom door. Propping his arm against the door frame beside his head he cocked his head at his little niece.

"You look fine to me. Go ask your mother and see what she says." He replied instantly and closed his door to retreat back into his room. Sakura rolled her eyes behind his back and walked down the stairs. 'That was a load of help.'

Sakura went downstairs to where she heard her mother's soft laughter. "Mom…?" She called.

"What is it?" Her mother asked returning her call. Kagome's head turned away from the tv to look at her daughter. When she noticed a concerned look on her daughter's face, she pressed the power button on the remote to turn the television off.

"Mom, I have a question." Sakura began. Kagome waited for Sakura to continue, but she had a feeling of apprehension. "Why am I different?" Kagome froze, her apprehension growing and twisting inside her gut. She expected this day to come. She knew it was going to happen soon eventually, but was disappointed it came too soon. Kagome feared that her daughter would take this to a level that caused anger and confusion.

"What do you mean? You're not different." Kagome spoke softly, cautiously awaiting the fated argument.

"Yes, I am. Look at my hair!" Sakura yelled in frustration.

Kagome narrowed her eyes at her daughter's tone. "Don't you talk to me with that temper, young lady!" By this time Kagome was standing and looking down at her daughter. Sakura growled and realized what she had just done. After muttering her apologies, Kagome calmed down and inwardly cursed herself for losing control.

"Sakura, before you were born, I wasn't normal. Actually...to tell you the truth, I'm no where close to being normal anymore."

"I'm not following, Mom. What do you mean by not normal?" Sakura sat down on the couch and watched as her mother remained standing.

"Follow me I have to show you something." Kagome held out her hand to guide her daughter to her room. Sakura grasped her mother's hand with no hesitation. As they walked into her mother's room she followed her mother until she was in front of a closet.

"Seventeen years ago, when I was fifteen. I was on my way to school when my brother was looking for our cat." Kagome explained as she opened the closet and dug around for something that Sakura couldn't make out from all the shoe boxes and baskets that cluttered the closet floor.

"You mean the fat cat that died when I was six years old." Sakura giggled as she remembered pictures of the said cat lazying about on her mother's bed.

"Yes." Kagome giggled at her daughter. "Well as I was saying, he was looking for him. So I went to go help him find our cat and it turns out he was in the well house." Kagome paused when she noticed Sakura was slightly discomforted when she mentioned the well. Sakura never went around the building, but Kagome never understood why.

"Ah ha! Here it is!" Kagome pulled out a large square box that looked slightly worn and tarnished. "I will show you the contents of this box in a moment, but first the well house..." Sakura groaned, she knew she was going to have to get over her fear of the well house at some point. Kagome led the way to the well house, but felt a certain twinge of guilt as she was about to turn her daughter's world upside down.

Sakura feared that creepy hut. There was always something that wasn't right about the place. It most certainly gave her the feeling of being in a different world as she passed the closed doors. She would often hear voices beckoning her to open the doors, but she would often run before she could discover anything more.

They were at the well house and that's when Sakura spoke. "You said this was your grandfather's sacred place for his spiritual junk."

"I lied." Kagome replied. She opened the doors and revealed an old well. "He said when I was fifteen that this well had mystical powers. Our ancestors called it the bone eaters well." Kagome walked into the old well house and grabbed a weathered broom, she swept up all the cob webs and dirt that laid on the steps and on the ground.

"So how does this relate to how I'm different?" Sakura questioned.

Kagome finished sweeping and began to answer, "When I found Buyo, I heard a long blast come from behind me. It was a huge centipede demon. These demons are not those little red imps called devils, if you're thinking that!" Sakura nodded slowly then moved to where her mother was stationed.

"I was dragged down into the well by the demon. It talked to me too." Kagome looked up at the ceiling trying to remember. "It said something like this, 'I want the jewel where's the sacred jewel.' "The jewel is called the Sacred Jewel of four souls. Known as the Shikon no Tama. The four souls were Aramitama, which meant courage. Nigimitama which means friendship, Kushimitama means wisdom and Sakimitama which is love." Kagome paused and remembered that Aramitama was Inuyasha, Nigimitama was Sango, Kushimitama was Miroku and Sakimitama was her. Together they were the jewel of four souls. Kagome missed them but didn't want openly to admit it yet. It was a sort of denial that caused her to go back to the past and regret a lot of things.

"Anyways, the jewel was entrusted to me to be its guardian. My job was to protect the jewel from evil. That's when I noticed that I was 500 years into the past." Kagome lead Sakura to the sacred tree. "That is how I met a half demon named, Inuyasha. He was pinned to this tree by a sacred arrow, used by spiritual people like priestess'. I am a priestess, Sakura."

"So wait, what happened to the mutated centipede?" Sakura asked in confusion. This was a lot to take in and she wasn't sure if she could take in anymore. The facts just didn't seem real. Demons? Was her mother ill or something.

"I kind of attacked it. I told it to go away, then this light came out from my hands. Then the centipede was gone and I climbed out of the well. This time I was shocked to see that I didn't climb back out to my time. As I said before, I was 500 years into the past, in feudal Japan." Sakura oh'ed and told her mom to go on to what happened next.

"Well I walked until I was in the forest. I then saw Inuyasha pinned to a tree. He wasn't dead, but was under a spell. See, this is a sacred tree. If you shoot an arrow at it and pin a person to the tree they will be taken into a spell, unless someone breaks the spell they will awake."

"So lemme guess. You broke the spell off Inuyasha?" Sakura obviously stated. This sounded like some sort of cliche fairy tale.

"Yes, but I'm going to explain in detail, since there are still important piece s of information you need to know." Kagome explained, but smiled at her daughter's persistence.

"Fine." Sakura retorted.

"When I was checking if Inuyasha was alright I was spotted by some villagers and a priestess named Kaede. They tied me up and took me as hostage, probably because of my weird high school uniform." Kagome paused taking a deep breath as she could feel her throat drying up from all the talking. "I was at their village and told them my story, they believed it and untied me. They also explained some information about Inuyasha. They said that he was a malicious half demon that was seeking for the sacred jewel. At this time I wasn't born yet but, the guardian was another priestess named Kikyo." Kagome shuddered from the mention of her name.

"Kikyo met Inuyasha and threatened that if he dares to go near the jewel he shall die! Kikyo knew that Inuyasha would eventually go for the jewel, so she kept a close eye on him."

"But one day they fell in love and Kikyo wanted Inuyasha to become human, so she told him to come in the morning and she will turn him into a human with the sacred jewel." Sakura felt really anxious about what happened next so Kagome again continued."But evil lurked and Kikyo found a bandit injured with two broken legs, and pitied his severe injuries. The bandits name was Onigumo. Onigumo lusted for Kikyo and as well wanted to gain the power of the jewel. So when Kikyo left, Onigumo was devoured by countless demons. Then became the evil demon, Naraku. Naraku is a demon that doesn't care about killing people. Anybody who stood in his way for the sacred jewel, died."

"Naraku set Inuyasha and Kikyo against each other in minutes. All he had to do was make Kikyo think that Inuyasha betrayed her and vice versa. So he disguised himself as Inuyasha and injured Kikyo for the jewel. He took the jewel and put it back for the real Inuyasha to get in Kikyo's hut. So he disguised himself as Kikyo and went after Inuyasha.

By this time the real Inuyasha was at the place where he'd meet Kikyo. So he waited there and five minutes later, he decided to leave. But before he could leave, Naraku whom was disguised as Kikyo, shot arrows at him but missed on purpose. Instantly, Inuyasha thought Kikyo betrayed him and so he attacked the village and stole the jewel from Kikyo's hut. Then he ran off with it back to the forest. But before he ran away, the real Kikyo shot Inuyasha against the sacred tree and put him in a deep spell."

"After Kikyo did that, she knew that she was dying so she told her younger sister, Kaede, to burn her body with the jewel. That is when Kikyo collapsed to the ground and was pronounced dead. The villagers burned her body and the jewel as that was her final wish."

"That is the story of how Inuyasha and Kikyo were set against each other."

"Now, the story of how I set Inuyasha free. Again the centipede demon came back and terrorized the village and it was after me so I ran as fast as I could, yelling for help. That is how Inuyasha broke free of the spell. When I reached the sacred tree, I saw him awake, but still pinned to the tree by Kikyo's arrow. He called to me, to remove the arrow from his chest, but before I was going to do exactly that; the demon attacked my side and took a chunk of my skin out to get to the jewel. Since the jewel was implanted in me that is."

"So the centipede swallowed the jewel and then wrapped me against the tree with its body. I was now against Inuyasha. So I removed the arrow and broke the spell. Inuyasha then killed the centipede demon with his claws. By that time Kaede was there and saw the jewel in the centipede. So she went to get it and then she purified it again. Kaede gave the jewel back to me, shocked that the jewel indeed was back in the feudal era."

"That is when Inuyasha demanded the jewel or else he would kill me. So I said, 'No I will not give you the jewel.' Inuyasha flexed his claws at me and began to try and attack. But I kept dodging his attacks."

"I ran onto a nearby bridge and heard Kaede took out a magical beaded necklace and chanted some words that made the necklace fly onto Inuyasha's neck. Kaede then yelled for me to say a trigger word then I looked at Inuyasha and he was ready to spring at me. So...I decided since he's a dog demon I'll say, Sit!"

"So whenever you say sit he does...?" Sakura asked.

"He would crash to the ground and make a crater beneath him." Kagome answered. Sakura was laughing her head off at this. "You're kidding?" She asked.

Kagome shook her head then smiled.

"Ok...I'm done. Keep explaining." Sakura giggled some more but composed herself as her mother continued her tale.

"So as I carried the jewel, demons were after me. I was kidnapped a day later by perverted guys. So I was wearing a skirt and they would try to take a 'sneak peak' but I would of course not let them. So Inuyasha came to the rescue only for the jewel because I was holding it."

"Ha, of course right? Only for the jewel. What a jerk!" Sakura shouted.

"That's what I thought too!" Kagome smiled.

"Anyways what happened next?" Sakura asked excitedly.

"A bird demon, like a crow except with three eyes, stole the jewel and swallowed it." Kagome explained instantly.

"Mom! How could you be so careless?" Kagome put her hands up in defense muttering that she was fifteen and was still clueless about how that world worked.

"Then we went after it and Inuyasha gave me a bow and arrow and said to shoot the bird with it. I told him that I could not shoot an arrow if my life depended on it. Then Inuyasha said if Kikyo did it then I could do it, because I am Kikyo's reincarnation."

"So I tried and missed, then we kept following the bird with Inuyasha carrying me on his back. Then I saw a kid drowning in the river, so I saved the kid by diving into the river and swimming over to them. I saved the boy and then took a bow and arrow from a guy and shot the stupid bird."

"That's when trouble began?" Sakura guessed. "I've seen too many movies, that's how I know when trouble starts and junk."

Kagome nodded then explained what else had happened. "Well when I shot the bird I got it but I also cracked the jewel open. Million of tiny lights shot out of the bird and flew all across feudal Japan."

"I stand by what I said before. How could you be so careless?" She asked bewildered by her mothers clumsy habit.

Kagome just shrugged. "Just give me a break. I didn't know how to aim at first, it was meant to happen."

"Feh, whatever." Sakura replied. Kagome was taken back by the reply. 'That's Inuyasha's feh...' Shaking herself out of her daze she remember that she had a story to finish.

"That is how we met Shippo, a little kid fox demon who could transform into stuff. Then we met a lecherous monk whose favourite line was 'would you bear my child' to every beautiful women he saw."

"Really?" Sakura laughed. Kagome again just nodded.

"Then we met Sango a demon slayer with a cute adorable demon cat named Kirara."

"They all had the same story about Naraku tricking them or casting a curse on them."

"Before we killed Naraku, which was when we had traveled far across Japan and made more friends, Kikyo was resurrected by an evil witch named, Urasue. Whenever Inuyasha sensed that Kikyo was around, he would run after her. But every time he did that, he kept breaking my heart!"

"You fell in love with Inuyasha?" Sakura asked bewildered by the fact.

Kagome nodded, feeling tears of rage gather in her eyes.

"Kikyo was still alive after we killed Naraku, but she disappeared after a while. Then one night Inuyasha turned full demon because of the jewel. I told him not to use it to become a full fledged demon and that he was fine the way he was. But he didn't listen and went too far!"

"He showed his lust towards me and..." Kagome was stopped when Sakura started to finish her sentence.

"That's how I was born? You probably sealed up the well so he couldn't come to your era anymore. Then I was born...and you tell me this now?"

"Yes. I know I should have told you a bit sooner." Kagome regretted.

"Just a bit? All these years I thought my father died in a car accident and now you tell me he's living, but 500 years in the past." Sakura cast her head down and tears started to drop down her cheeks and fall down onto the ground. "How could you?"

"Sakura, I didn't mean to, I just didn't want to hurt you!" Kagome explained placing her hand on her daughters shoulder. Sakura shook her mother's hand off of her and replied, "how would you hurt me? I would be sad but I would've gotten over it eventually. Just like I'm eventually going to get over this."

"I guess you could say that I just didn't want to tell you, because I didn't want to feel hated by you!" Kagome knew how her daughter must hate her now.

"Hated? I wouldn't hate you if you said that. Sure I would've been mad but never hate. But now I don't know who I am and I'm a freak of nature!" Sakura got up and was going to run when her mother stopped her.

"I'm like that too, Sakura. I know how it feels! Don't you dare make it look like I don't know how it feels..to have never had a choice." Kagome placed her hand on Sakura's head and a blue and pink glowing light surrounded them. When Kagome finished with Sakura, she then took the spell off herself. Sakura's eyes widened when she noticed two appendages on top of her mother's head. Two black dog ears twitched and her once chocolate brown eyes were now a dark blue.

Sakura could feel something moving on the top of her head. She touched the appendages that were like her mother's and gave a loud squeal of fright. She quickly brought her hands down, but not without catching a glimpse of her nails, which elongated into sharp claws. The other thing that caught her off guard was when her tongue passed over something sharp in her mouth. Sakura cautiously ran her tongue over the offending sharp object and found that her canines were now sharp fangs.

"Now you know..." Kagome looked at her daughter with sadness. Kagome looked down at the box she was still holding. She opened it and showed her daughter the pictures of the friends she mentioned. "I will take you to see him, but you have to promise me that you won't go near him! I don't want anything happening to you!" Kagome calmed down and saw that Sakura as well calmed down a bit.

"Fine." Sakura answered. Kagome placed the box on the stairs before she walked over to the well and re-opened it to go back 500 years in the past.

Sakura looked down into the well, but before she got the chance to say something, Kagome had jumped down into the well disappearing into a blue light at the bottom. Sakura looked back towards the box on the stairs and then back to the bottom of the well.

This was it. There was no going back now, her mother made sure of that by jumping down the well first. Sakura propped herself onto the lip of the well and jumped down bracing for impact. But she felt nothing but airlessness. She could see her mother floating at a farther distance in front of her. When the light disappeared, she could feel her feet slowly touch the ground again. Looking up to expect a familiar roof, she was surprised to see a bright blue sky.

So that is the first chapter revised. I tried not to change too much, only some things that needed to be changed. We all know the history of Kagome's journey, but the history needed to be shared in depth instead of saying, "Kagome told her daughter everything about her past, including how Sakura was born. The end." No no no...that's the easy way out!
