Kagome's life as Inu hanyou miko
Hey people, it's me again, I know I am supposed to update my other stories but I will promise. This story have I adopted from Lunarbust23 since she would no longer continue this story and since I am huge fan of this story loved it so much I felt I wanted to continue this story. It would be a shame for this story to be unfinished.
This story is an Inuyasha story, with Kagome/Touga a.k.a. Inuyasha's father. Now let me give you a laydown for the story! Inuyasha's father did not die when he was born so he lived and raised Inuyasha, who will still be his old jerky self! Izayoi died of natural causes since Touga did not take her as a mate because she was not his soul mate so the bond could not be completed. Sesshomaru is still a sexy asshole that needs a reality check. Kikyo still met a similar end at Naraku's hands, after she sealed Inuyasha to the tree of course. Sango, Miroku, Kirara, and Shippo will still play the same parts in this story as well. Kagome was born after Kikyo died as an inu hanyou of the onyx clan, the details of her life will be revealed later. And yes the shikon jewel is still central to the story! Anyways now that the overview is done...ON WITH THE STORY! I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!
Short pants of air escaped from dainty lips as the young onyx haired inu hanyou female streaked through the trees at an unbelievable speed. Shouts and hisses trailed after her from the group of demons that hunted her down for simply being born. Such was the fate of a hanyou who had no one in the world to turn to. She thanked her bastard sire for being an inuyoukai of the onyx clan as they were renowned for their incredible speed, before she pumped a massive amount of youkai into her legs and just disappeared from her enemy's sight.
"Where the fuck did that wretched bitch go?" One of the snake demons hissed furious that he had lost sight of his prey.
Kagome watched from above them before she lurched down at inhuman speed and raked her claws through said demon tearing him in half. Her beautiful silver eyes shone brightly in the moonlight as she quickly raked out at another snake, quickly disemboweling him. Both of them fell in a heap at her feet and she sent a small prayer to the god that she was sure had forsaken her to have some mercy on their souls. She always regretted taking life even though she knew that she had no choice but to kill to survive. Her bastard father sure as hell wouldn't be coming to her aid should she ever need it, so she learned to defend herself early on in her life. Still as she looked down and flicked the remains from under her claws, she figured that companionship of some sort would be nice. "Not that I will ever experience that in this life..." She muttered sadly before turning away and wandering in the opposite direction. No one would ever want a hanyou that was for certain.
Touga stared at the form of his son pinned to the bark of the Goshinboku by a brittle arrow. Fifty years had passed and yet he had not found a way to release his son from his eternal sleep. What was worse was that he knew that his son was suffering from nightmares of the worst kind, the betrayal of the one who had pinned him to said tree. Kikyo. Even thinking her name made his blood heat up. That woman had thought that his son had betrayed her and stolen the jewel from her to become a full youkai. Now he knew that Inuyasha hated being a hanyou, but he also knew that it was a mixed feeling. For if he rid himself of his human blood that would be the same as ridding himself of his mother's blood, and if Inuyasha loved anything it was his mother. Even he missed Izayoi dearly after all of these years. But she was not the one that was truly meant for him and he was more than aware of this when he married her. It still did not stop him from loving her with all that he was capable of, and she had lived a long life by his side. If she could see her son now there was no doubt that she would be weeping at his imprisonment at the hands of the woman he had loved. Not that it could be changed at this point. Only a miko of immense power could remove the arrow and break the seal that bound Inuyasha. Now some would ask why he himself could not remove the arrow, the answer being that if he pushed his youki into the arrow to try and release Inuyasha, Kikyo's dormant reiki could flare up and simply purify his son to ash. And he knew this from experience as he had tried it before, and had immediately stopped when the arrow glowed a bright blue, and blood started pouring from the newly re-opened wound. So all he could do was wait until someone came along who could break the seal and release his son. "I hope that day comes soon Inuyasha. I find that I miss you more than I had ever imagined." He sighed and turned around to walk towards the opposite tree line, only to stop at the sweetest aroma he had ever smelled in his life, yes even sweeter than Inukimi, and Izayoi. Tilting his head back to get a deeper whiff of the scent he nearly shuddered at the smell of fresh dew, and water lilies. Anyone who wandered into the clearing at that moment would have only caught a glimpse of white and silver blurring together as he streaked from the meadow into the trees in search of that wonderful scent. After a moment the feel of a strange aura brushed against his. It was comprised of youki, and something else...? Said aura spiked in apprehension as he drew nearer and his own youki bared down on her's. A split second later he shot through the trees like a comet and came face to face with an inu hanyou female. His feet planted firmly on the ground as his gaze became transfixed on her. Long dark hair fell to her knees in thick waves, bangs framing her rose shaped face. Thick dark lashes ghosted over the most beautiful silver eyes he had ever seen, before they brushed over delicate cheek bones as she blinked at him. Her body was considerably smaller than his yet she was still filled out where she should be, with a nicely endowed chest, slim waist leading down to a curvy bottom, and toned thighs, and legs. She was perfect. There was no other way to describe her. He gulped down a large lump in his throat and spoke. "What is your name?"
She looked surprised that he had spoken to her at all but she answered him, well sort of. "Who wants to know?" She asked defensively, her body tensed to fight, or flee at the first aggressive move from him.
A low growl built up in his chest at her blatant refusal to submit to him, but he guessed that as a hanyou she was not used to any courtesy from anyone so he would let it go just this once. "The Inu no Taisho, and Lord of the Western Lands. Now if you would give me your name as is customary. And please relax yourself as I have no intentions of attacking you."
Kagome." She answered curtly while she retained her defensive stance despite his request. "Now if that is all My Lord then I would like to leave now."
When she turned around as if to dismiss him he snarled loudly catching her attention, and once she had turned back to him he spoke in a deep rumbling voice. "I did not say that you could leave Kagome." When she looked at him like she wanted to argue he silenced her with another loud snarl that demanded submission. Now that he had caught her scent, and she his attention there was no escape for her even if she wanted to run. Some part of him vaguely wondered why she was not reacting to him as he was to her, but her human blood could be diluting her instincts, or her past could be forcing her to be more wary of him, even if she should not be as he would never hurt her. He wanted her already, and she would not escape him. But before he could state as such a large pulse of pink light suddenly shot out from her body and into the sky. Golden eyes watched it shoot off in the direction of the Goshinboku and disappear. Not even a second later there was a responding pulse of power that he instantly recognized as Inuyasha's youki. It was as if it was rousing itself from a deep sleep but how could that be? And better yet how could a hanyou possess reiki? He spared her a stunned look before he darted towards her and whisked her into his arms before shooting off towards the Goshinboku again.
"What the hell are you going?!" She shouted in obvious outrage at the blatant manhandling.
"Just be silent for a moment woman!" He barked out as they closed in on the clearing where Inuyasha's youki was pulsing. As he got closer he felt the distinct feel of several more auras, one demon, and several humans. His speed picked up considerably and he shot back into the clearing. There was no demon in sight that he could see, but the humans were crowded around the Goshinboku where he could hear Inuyasha cursing up a storm. "Even after being asleep for fifty years the boy still has no manners..." He sighed as he swept a weary glance over the meadow before he sat Kagome on her feet. "Kaede tell your people to back away from my son this instant!" He called out to the elderly miko who was desperately trying to calm the borderline angry mob.
"I am trying Touga-sama! Perhaps it would do ye well to calm your son as well!" She shot back exasperated.
Sparing one look at Kagome he turned and walked straight through the angry crowd and up to Inuyasha, who was miraculously still hanging from the tree by the same arrow. His brows furrowed in confusion, and disbelief. How could the arrow still be there when the spell had apparently dissipated? He reached out and as expected the arrow lit up before Inuyasha hissed in pain and shot him a heated look. He turned to Kaede. "How is it that he is awake when some part of the spell still holds?"
Kaede looked around thoughtfully for a moment before she sighed. "I know not Touga-sama. The only one who could break the spell would be someone of power equal, or superior to my sister's." After a moment her one visible eye furrowed and she turned curious eyes on a still silent Kagome.
Touga noticed her stare and turned to look at Kagome. "This is Kagome. We have just recently met. Kagome this is Kaede the high miko of this village." He introduced them.
Kagome only nodded curtly and turned her attention elsewhere.
"Kaede how do we go about getting my son down from the Goshinboku?" He asked impatiently. The agitation was literally rolling off of Inuyasha in waves and he did not want to waste time in getting his son down from his resting place.
Kaede pondered the question for a moment before she once again looked to Kagome. "Did ye sense anything odd before Inuyasha awoke Touga-sama?"
He once again followed her gaze and hummed thoughtfully. "Why yes as a matter of fact I did. Not that I completely understand what happened mind you." He turned away from Kagome and back to Kaede. "A blast of reiki came from Kagome. Imagine my surprise when that happened?"
"Hmm well I guess it is safe to say that Kagome is the only one that can get him down from the Goshinboku, as she is the only one here who, by some miracle possesses power at least equal to my sister's." Kaede finished thoughtfully.
"Whoa! Whoa! Wait just a moment!" Kagome huffed as she marched through the stunned group of humans to stand between the two. "What the hell do you mean I have reiki? I am nothing but a worthless hanyou! Anyone with youkai blood cannot possess reiki!" She exclaimed. Before anyone could say anything in response an astonished cry came from Inuyasha who had not until that moment seen Kagome.
"Wait! I thought you said that Kikyo died! But she's right..." He cut himself off as he finally took note of what his eyes, and nose were telling him. "Keh! Kikyo was a lot cuter..." He grumbled in embarrassment at confusing the two.
That set Kagome off and in a second she was in the Inuyasha's face. "What the hell is your problem you stupid twit!? Were you even listening to what anyone else said?! Of course I am not Kikyo as I was born after she died! Gods use your senses you pompous ass!" She turned away before freezing and turning back towards him almost as an afterthought. "And my name is Kagome! KA-GO-ME!" She screamed before she hopped off of the tree roots and stomped away.
Inuyasha's jaw was slack before it snapped shut and he glared at her rather heatedly. "Keh! Stupid wench! So are you two going to get me down or what?!"
"If you were listening Inuyasha you would know that only Kagome, the woman that you just offended can get you down!" Touga growled low in displeasure. "Kagome?" He called out.
"What?!" Came the irritated response.
"Could you please come here for a moment?" He waited for her to appear at his side. "We need your help to free Inuyasha from the spell placed on him."
She glared up at him almost viciously and snarled. "And how do you expect me to do that? I never even knew that I had reiki until today!" And before anyone could respond Inuyasha cut her off.
"Keh! This stupid wench probably couldn't control her reiki even if she tried! Hell Kikyo was on a level that no one could reach! And you think that this worthless wench is?! Ha!"
In a flash Kagome was up in his face again snarling. "Oh really? Well I think I am gonna give it a shot! Just so that I can beat your ass after I let you go!" She hissed before she grabbed the arrow none-to-gently and yanked on it. "Stupid!" Yank. "Infuriating!" Another yank. "Idiot hanyou!" Yank. "Gives other!" Another yank. "Hanyou a bad name!" She shrieked as a light pink aura shot from her hands just as she yanked the arrow from Inuyasha's chest in a blinding torrent of light.
Touga was momentarily stunned at the purity of said aura before he shielded his eyes to avoid going blind. A second later the light faded and he dropped his arms to see Inuyasha standing on the ground in front of the Goshinboku, face to face with Kagome. The two were snarling like rabid inus and he made to stop them before blood was shed. "Enough." He ordered sternly as he stepped between the two. "Inuyasha is this any way to treat the woman who saved you?" He chastised his youngest son.
"Keh!" Inuyasha snorted before he turned away from Kagome.
"Inuyasha I am glad to see you free at last my son." Touga clasped a hand on his son's shoulder affectionately. "Come so that we may talk on all that you have missed during your sleep. I am sure that Kaede would not mind catching up with you either."
"Aye I do have some questions for Inuyasha that I need answers to. Come and we will return to my hut so that we may speak." Kaede turned and started leading a reluctant Inuyasha away.
Touga turned to see Kagome attempting to dash out of the meadow while he was distracted. "You are coming too Kagome." He held out a hand to her expectantly and a challenging look overtook his features. "Do not try to run Kagome, for I will catch you sooner or later. We have much to discuss don't you agree?"
She huffed and stomped past him in the direction that Inuyasha, and Kaede had disappeared to. "Ass."
He smirked at her before following after her slowly. None even noticed the pulsing of the well or the youki that could once again be felt emanating from it.
Her leg twitched in irritation as she returned the heated glare that Inuyasha was sending her way from across the hut. The bastard had been like that since she had freed him and it was starting to get on her nerves! OK so she was well passed irritated and he would soon find out if he did not cut his shit out! Before she could snap at him Touga seated himself next to her and Kaede passed out tea to everyone. She lifted her cup and sniffed for discreetly for any poison before she deemed it safe and took a sip.
Kaede chose that moment to start the conversation by asking a rather forward question. "Did ye strike my sister down as she claimed Inuyasha?"
Said idiot looked shocked and in a flash he was on his feet and in Kaede's face. "Hell no! She attacked me first! After that I tried to escape from the village before she came after me again!"
A warning growl resounded from beside her and Inuyasha backed off slightly as his father commanded. "You will speak politely to Kaede Inuyasha. The actions between you, and Kikyo have nothing to do with her and you will not take your anger out on her. Is that understood?"
"Keh! Yeah fine!" The redclad hanyou slumped back against the wall in Kaede's small hut to avoid angering his father any further.
"So ye did not attack her?" Kaede asked to assure herself that she had heard right.
"Keh! That's what I said ain't it?!" He answered irritably though there was a note of sorrow in both his voice, and scent now.
Rather than try to understand any of this she simply listened to what was said with disinterest. None of it had anything to do with her anyways. And once this was all said and done she would disappear at the first chance she got. Silver eyes slid over to the large Daiyoukai who was listening intently to the conversation between the two. If she could slip past him that is.
"I do not understand... If ye did not attack Kikyo and inflict the wound that ended her life then who did? She claimed that it was you who attacked her, but I believe ye when ye say that ye did not. And I believed her when she said that ye did." Kaede mumbled thoughtfully. It was obvious that she was deeply conflicted over the development in the demise of her sister. "It could not be a shapeshifter as they cannot change their youki..."
Touga spoke up then and everyone of importance turned their attention towards him. "A select few can. And even more common is the ability to erase your youki aura so that no trace is left. So it is possible that a shapeshifter disguised himself as Inuyasha and masked his aura so that he could sneak up on Kikyo. That is more likely than one having the ability to mimic auras."
"And that does make sense. My sister was a powerful miko whose life was sought by many youkai. But that would still mean that whoever killed her is still wandering free."
In an instant Inuyasha was up and snarling so loud that the hut was shaking. "You mean her killer is still alive?" He roared loudly.
"Is that not what she just said? Not sit down and stop snarling! It is not as if it will do you any good right now!" Kagome hissed in irritation.
Inuyasha whirled on her in a flurry of snarls, and snaps of his jaws. "WHO THE HELL ASKED YOU WENCH?! AND WHY THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN HERE RIGHT NOW?! GET OUT BEFORE I SHRED YOU WITH MY CLAWS!"
Her hackles rose in her own fury and in a second she had launched herself at him at a speed that he could not keep up with. She crashed into him and they tumbled out the reed door in a mess of snarls, and slashes of claws. Her fangs found the side of his neck and her youkai side demanded that she respond to his act of dominance with aggression and she viciously tore into him with her claws, ignoring the fact that he was doing the same. Before the fight could escalate anymore she was yanked off of him and her back crashed into a firm chest.
"Enough! If the two of you wish to fight like whelps then I would be more than happy to oblige you both!" Touga's deep baritone washed over them. He held her tight against him and turned away protectively when Inuyasha jumped to his feet threateningly. "Inuyasha I will not tell you again! Back down or else I will take it as a direct challenge to my status as alpha!"
The results of that statement were instantaneous as Inuyasha backed down and bared his throat in submission, even if it was reluctantly. His eyes were still trained angrily on her though and it did not help to calm her down in the least, if anything it had her itching to kick his ass. But Touga obviously scented that because his hold on her tightened and he growled at her warningly.
"The same applies to you as well Kagome." He spoke dangerously.
"No it does not because I am not a member of your pack! Therefor I am not yours to command Touga-sama!" She spat back with stubbornness.
"For once I agree with the wench! She ain't pack so why's she gotta be here?! And why the hell are you actin so possessive over some random bitch?! What she a concubine or somethin?" Inuyasha snickered at the last part. "She has to be! I mean she ain't nothin to look at compared to mother, or Kikyo!"
She snarled in rage as she squirmed around in an attempt to free herself. "How dare you compare me to anyone you ass!? I am KAGOME! I am not anyone else!"
"Keh! Yeah I know wench! You ain't good enough to be anyone else." Inuyasha snorted haughtily.
"Enough Inuyasha! I have already told you to cease immediately!" Touga's tone brooked no argument and instantly Inuyasha shut up. "Now if you must know Kagome is not my concubine as we have just met on this day. However she is mine so you will respect her."
All the thoughts immediately ceased running through her head until nothing but his words were repeating themselves over and over again. His? His what? Something inside of her told her that she knew but was refusing to acknowledge it not that she cared what it, or he thought. As far as she was concerned she was no object to be claimed. "I do not belong to anyone Touga-sama! So why don't you just let me go so that I can disappear, that way I don't end up killing your son!" She snarled at Inuyasha threateningly at the end of her statement. Both of them were shocked however when he merely tightened his hold on her and the scent of his musk rolled over her before clinging to her blue kimono, and her person.
"No I cannot do that Kagome, for you see you have caught my interest in a way that no other female ever has. So I plan on taking you into my pack whether you like it or not." His voice turned threatening on his next words. "So do not even think to escape from me Kagome. I will hunt you down to the ends of this earth if I must." He nuzzled into her head for another moment before he finally released her.
In a flash she took off into the trees to put some distance between her and the big Daiyoukai, mindful not to go too far of course. She had no doubt in her mind that he would take off after her if she did choose to flee. So she simply dashed into the clearing where the strange wooden well was located before she sighed and slumped against it. She had so much on her mind about the events of the last several hours. The first was how possessive the great Inu no Taisho was being over her. It was like he had taken an interest in her as a potential mate and that was just ridiculous. No even if her instincts were going haywire trying to convince her that it was indeed that, she refused to believe it. Perhaps it was the fact that he had a hanyou son and he felt sympathy for her? Maybe he wanted to take her in as an adopted pup? No if that were it he would not be acting so dominate. That only left one possible outcome and she just plain refused to believe it so she shoved all the thoughts out of her mind before they could drive her crazy, and focused on relaxing while she had the chance. Even that was short lived though as the well behind her released a pulse of power that had her hair standing on end. She jumped up and spun around just in time to see a giant centipede youkai shoot out of the well.
"Finally! I finally found it! Now give it to me!" The long haired centipede woman shrieked as she shot towards her in a blur.
She was not expecting the burst of speed that the youkai shot herself at her with and she was a second too slow in her reaction. The youkai's jaws tore into her side as her body was roughly thrown into the air. Time slowed down as the youkai ripped into her side and the pain shot through her body from the impact. The distinct feel of something sliding out of the wound was the only warning she had before a pink blood stained orb floated in front of her for a second before her body fell unceremoniously to the ground. The small object fell in front of her with a small clinking sound and she lifted her head and reached for it on instinct. It called to her beckoning her with its' bright light and she took it into her hand. What was this thing? How had it gotten inside of her body? Before she could even think of it any longer the centipede was lurching down on her at high speed. Gritting her teeth against the pain she jumped to her feet and dodged the razor sharp teeth that were aimed at her throat.
"Bitch! Give the shikon no tama to me!" The centipede hissed venomously as she lined up another charge at Kagome.
"Psh I do not even know what that is but I know that I cannot give this to you lady!" Kagome shot back heatedly before she jumped up to intercept the youkai as she charged her again. Her enemy was fast for her size but she had nothing on Kagome and with a smirk she disappeared a second before she appeared above her enemy with claws drawn. "Shadow claws!" She shouted as she raked through the youkai's flesh with shadows that coated her claws. Her shadow attack tore through her enemy's body and literally ripped it to shreds, and the demoness's body literally rained down on the ground in a shower of blood. She dropped to the ground in a low crouch with the object clenched tightly in her hand she waited to see if anything would happen. After a moment she was sure that her enemy had been soundly defeated so she allowed herself to relax slightly. "I wonder what this thing is?" She mused as she wiped off some of the blood from the round jewel and held it up into the moonlight. That was how her "companions" found her seconds later when they all tore into the clearing, Touga at the head of the group.
"Kagome we felt the flare of youki are you-!" His words were cut off as startled gasps sounded from everyone in the clearing.
"That is... the Shikon no tama!" Kaede gasped in disbelief.
I hope you like it and you leave a review for this chapter and I want to thank Lunarbust23 for letting me take over this story.
