Proving My Existence

Ch. 1

Blood.

The first thing that he smelt was blood. It was his sister's. He growled, grabbed his brother, and ran at a speed that no demon could ever hope to match. The scent of the blood led them to an alleyway where a little girl was laying in a fetal position surrounded by her own blood. Some pieces of her clothing were thrown here and there. His eyes turned crimson red as he turned to his brother and said, "Inuyasha, grab her and get her to Mother for her to be healed." The boy, now know as Inuyasha, picked up the injured girl carefully and left in quick haste. The older boy left as quick as he had come – to find his father.


"Otousan, we need to talk," the young boy said.

"Yes, what is it, Sesshoumaru?" the father said.

The boy, now known as Sesshoumaru, told about how he found his sister half-dead in an alley way.

"Oh, how could anyone do that to poor little Kagome!?" the father replied. Just than a maid came in.

"Inutaishou-sama? Your daughter is fine now. She has recovered but she needs her rest."

"Thank you very much. Sesshoumaru, why don't you go check up on her?" Inutaishou suggested.

"Very well, Otousan." Sesshoumaru left. Once he left, Inutaishou started thinking about putting Kagome in the academy next year. She would certainly need it.


Black out.

It was the only thing she remembered when she woke up in her night clothes and in her bed. Blood was there too. And girls and boys. It was slowly coming back. Boys said she was stupid and dumb. Girls said she was ugly and dull. She believed every one of them. She lost her real parents at age four and didn't know where to go until two boys, a mother and a father came by, seeing her in ragged torn up clothes and dry blood all over her. They pitied her – she knew it – but because she stayed there, they all started to love her, as she did them.

They grew up and she started to talk and speak to them as if they were her first real and blood-related parents and brothers. But when she left anywhere to do chores or got sent out to buy something, boys and girls would always pick on her cause they thought they were better than her. She knew they were and tried to stay away from them as much as she possibly could. But nothing worked as they always found her and hurt her, telling her she was rude for avoiding them and that she would pay, or that she didn't deserve to live in the western castle.

"Kagome?" a voice called out, followed by a "Shhh! Let her sleep, she needs it."

"Nnngh," she tried to get up, but something was holding her back.

"Stay down and rest, Kagome dear," a soothing voice told her.

"Okaasan...?" she answered.

"Hai. Would you like some food?" Izaiyoi offered.

"Yes, please." She was given food to eat, and by the time she was done with it (which wasn't very long), Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru came in.

"Oh hello, boys. Your sister is up if you wish to talk to her."

"Hai," were their replies. Izaiyoi gave Inuyasha a hug and Sesshoumaru a kiss on the forehead then left. Sesshoumaru growled at the door for the kiss he received. Inuyasha just went up to Kagome, who was watching them with a soft smile.

"Hi, Sesshy-aniki-sama, Inu-baka-chan." Kagome said.

"Feh, don't call me a baka, baka." That got Inuyasha a smack in the head from Sesshoumaru.

"Hello, imouto-chan. How are you feeling?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Fine, thanks for asking," she replied. She was actually feeling much better, but she was still a little dizzy.

There was a knock on the door. Sesshoumaru went to open it and Inutaisho came in.

"Yo, Kagome-chan!" he said cheerily.

"Hello, Otou-san," she replied tiredly. He was a little worried, but he knew she was just tired. He knew she was a strong demoness, but she had yet to find her inner demon.

You see, a true demon – be it male or female – has to find their inner demon before they can become one. They have to find the demon lying within them to be able to use their full capabilities. They had already done the Rights of Blood with Kagome, meaning they had drunk each other's blood, making her a youkai by blood, but she needed to awaken the demon within her to protect herself. She was at least one year away from finding her true youkai linage. Or so they thought...

"How are you Kagome-chan?" Inutaisho asked.

"Fine, Otousan," she replied again.

"Boys, I would like to talk to Kagome alone." They must have known it was serious because they left immediately. Kagome also knew this because he never left the '-chan' off of her name.

"Kagome-chan...how would you like to go to the academy next week?" He asked. Kagome was surprised. What brought this up all of a sudden? But even though she had tons of questions to ask she just jumped into his arms and yelled, "YES! - " She was cut off.

"Okay, okay, I get it! But you need your rest," Inutaisho laughed. He hugged her, then set her down and covered her up, telling her he would get her some food in a bit. She snuggled into bed for a nap and wondered what it was like in the academy.
