The Rise Of The Fallen Goddess
Summary: Kagome's sick and tired of Inuyasha cheating on her with Kikyo behind her back. Well, she's going to get revenge, but how? She trains at home and she discovers some really interesting things about herself. That's where Sesshomaru comes in. Will the two fall for each other or want to tear each other apart?

Chapter 1: What Do You Expect From Me?
Kagome's on her way to the village to tell her friends what she discovered while in the future. What she hears and what she sees makes her want to go on a killing spree…
(A/N: Who do you think she will want to kill first? Take a guess!)
"I can't believe you, Inuyasha! How could you do that to Kagome-chan?! What I wouldn't give to beat the shit out of you if she doesn't do it first!" Sango yelled.
"So what? I don't care about the wench! She can get pissed at me for all I care, but that won't change anything. I'm with Kikyo now and she's joining our group whether you guys like it or not!" Inuyasha said, trying to defend himself.
"Inuyasha, I believe that Sango is right. Lady Kagome is the glue to this group and you are planning on replacing her with the dead?! That's low, Inuyasha, even for you." Miroku said.
"So, where is that reincarnation of mine? I want to see the look on her face when she sees me with Inuyasha." Kikyo said with a sickeningly sweet voice.
Kagome walks by the group towards Sango and Miroku, completely ignoring Inuyasha and Kikyo in the process.
"Sango and Miroku, where is Shippo? I'm going to be leaving soon to go to my father's lands." Kagome called.
"I'm right here, okaasan! Did you get me anything this time?" Shippo asked.
"I have your favorite thing besides candy, lots of chocolate and pocky, but I'll give it to you after I finish my story, okay Shippo?" Kagome said and smiled.
"All right, momma." Shippo said defeated.
"Now that I got over Shippo's candy induced state, I want to tell you guys what I found out while I celebrated my birthday in my time!" Kagome exclaimed.
--Flashback to Kagome's Birthday--
"Okaasan, Oniisan, Ojiisan, I'm home!" Kagome called.
"Kagome-onee-san! I missed you while you were gone!" Souta wailed.
"Come on sweetie, I have something to show you." Anika explains.
(A/N: Since I don't know the name of Kagome's mom, her name will be Anika in this story and her grandfather's name will be Jai.)
"Kagome, do you know why you always felt at home when you are in the feudal era?" Anika asked.
"I always felt drawn to it and I just knew that I belonged there. What's going on?" Kagome wondered.
"Kagome, we are all demons and you are the heir to the Northern Lands. I may not be Lord anymore, but I'm glad that your father is doing a wonderful job taking care of our lands. You know Kaede-san, don't you?" Jai questioned.
"Yes, she always treated me like a grandmother. Why? Is she related to us?" Kagome asked, full of intrigue.
"She is your grandmother, Kagome-chan. She is really a youkai, just like us. Ask her to show you her true form. Now, Kagome, we present you with this." Jai said.
"What is it?" Kagome asked.
"This, Kagome, is the sword called "Elemental Light". You are an elemental miko goddess and you are also a shadow kitsune!" Anika said in joy.
--End of Flashback… For Now--
Kagome then unsheathes her sword and it glows silver, then gold, green, blue, red, black, yellow, white, and purple. The colors represent her powers: silver – wind, gold – lightning/thunder, green – earth, blue – water, red – fire, black – shadows, yellow – light, white – time, and purple – miko.
"Lady Kagome, that's really impressive! Could we see your true form?" Miroku asked.
"Actually, I can't reveal it yet. I am going to need someone's help and right now, I'm going to call them over… but first, I'll sing a song for you guys by the time they get here."
She sings to this song:
"Calling All Cars" by Senses Fail
Calling all cars we've got another victim I'm sorry but I think I failed to mention 'Cause this has been building since I have been breathing
'Cause my love has become an affliction
What did you expect from me?
What did you expect from me?
That I lied at my very first confession
What did you expect from me?
What did you expect from me?
And I know how it's going to end
Chorus: Oh my dear, what have I gone and done now? Without giving away the entire ending
So will you scatter my ashes where they won't be found?
I kept my word when I swore that I would let you down
And now that I'm gone
Try to forget me and just move on
So will you scatter my ashes where they won't be found?
I kept my word and you hate me for it now
You knew all along
Try to forget me and just move on
It's curtain call, I'm about to take my last bow
What did you expect from me?
What did you expect from me?
I ruined the evening again
Chorus: I don't have love left inside, inside
So will you scatter my ashes where they won't be found?
I kept my word when I swore that I would let you down
And now that I'm gone
Try to forget me and just move on
So will you scatter my ashes where they won't be found?
I kept my word and you hate me for it now
You knew all along
Try to forget me and just move on
And I don't have love left inside, inside
Are you desperate for an answer?
I don't have an ounce of good left in me now
That's why I walked out
Chorus: I am not the one that you should blame
So will you scatter my ashes where they won't be found?
I kept my word when I swore that I would let you down
And now that I'm gone
Try to forget me and just move on
So will you scatter my ashes where they won't be found?
I kept my word and you hate me for it now
You hate me for it now
Try to forget me and just move on
So take what I left you for the pain
I am not the one that you should blame
So take what I left you for the pain
And do your best to forget my name
"Sango, Miroku, this song goes out to Inuyasha. So, are you happy now, Inuyasha? You chose her over me. Oh well, your loss and my gain!" Kagome says.
"What are you talking about, Kagome?!" Inuyasha asked, being the dense idiot he is.
"You know what I'm talking about, Inuyasha! Don't you dare play dumb with me!! Don't ask me for forgiveness for what I'm about to do." Kagome said with an evil gleam in her eyes.
'I hate that look. She's going to S.I.T. me until kingdom come, I know it! I'm so dead!' (Inuyasha)
(A/N: Oooohhhh… the dreaded cliffy! Who will Kagome call for? Will she be able to get home in time? Oh well, you, the readers will have to wait for the next chapter! I should tell you that there will be some OCs coming in soon, very soon. For now, read and review! It makes me happy. Constructive criticism is always welcome.)
