Every morning I get up out of bed, take a shower, get ready for school and then I put up my mask.
When I got back from the final battle after unlocking my power- my true powers, gaining a new family, getting a mate, and then I was locked away from it all. I shot Naraku with my final arrow and it finally killed him by combining the attack with Sesshomaru's and Inuyasha's, completely obliterating him and his soul. I knew what was going to happen and so I went over to my mate, kissed him goodbye, told him that he must live to my time but not interfere with my traveling. Ignoring the protests of my friends I walked over to the dark purple jewel sitting in the carnage, touched it, immediately turning it pink and made my wish. I was surrounded by a white light and when it receded I was gone from the feudal era, forever stuck in modern times.
When I was surrounded by the white light I found myself in a beautiful meadow with a figure in front of me. I bowed down, realizing that the figure was Midoriko, but rose when told.
"I am here to help you child." Midoriko said, "I will be training you on your powers inside this time rift. You will be learning how to control and completely mask your appearance and power, learn how to wield every weapon known to man, how to use many spells and hand-to-hand combat. In the outer world only one day passes for every thousand years in here, you will be transported back into the Modern era and the Shikon will merge with your soul essentially making you become the Shikon No Tama." To say I was surprised would be an understatement, I was totally shocked. Never the less, I accepted the offer and trained with Midoriko for the next 1,000 years. Over this time I learned that I was immortal and I could control time, fire, air, light, darkness, poison, water, nature, earth, electricity and metal. On my 1,018th birthday I graduated from 'Midoriko's boot camp' as I called it and finished my training.
When I exited the time rift I appeared next to the Goshinboku on my shrine. During my training I had really filled out, become skinnier, gotten a very nice tan, and my hair had grown out to my butt. Midoriko gave me a couple of charm bracelets with all of the weapons I had mastered on them and some new fighting outfits. My Mum told me I was kicked out of my old school for too many absences and so I had to go to a new school tomorrow. That is how I ended up where I am, at school with Koenma's spirit detectives.
I am now extremely grateful to Midoriko for teaching me to totally mask my presence because they are not that easy to get past and every once and a while I have to take up the slack and kill a demon that they missed. I have been doing this for five months and I am pretty sure the only one suspicious of me is the little fire apparition they have on the team, Hiei I think his name was. No real offence meant but I think that they are extremely annoying, I have been trying for a while to get to a portal before they do and send a message to my mate but I can't seem to get there fast enough without revealing who I am. It is really annoying, I know that a portal has been opened before even Koenma does but I can't seem to get past my brat of a grandchild who doesn't even know I exist! This is why I am in my current situation.
I was sweeping the shrine when I felt a portal open. I had to wait for Koenma to call Firecracker away before I told my mom a portal had just opened and sprinted out of the house. This time I made it to the portal before the spirit detectives got there and found out that the opener of the portal was Sesshomaru's army's general, who just so happened to recognize me.
"Milady!" he yelped before bowing.
"Rise Yuki, I need you to do me a favor." I rushed out, not even waiting for an answer. "The Spirit Detectives are coming and I need you to make it look like you are forcing me into Makai, OK?"
"Of course, Milady, but why-"
"Just do it!" I cut him off because the spirit detectives were getting nearer and if we waited any longer they might catch us before they had to get a mission to do it. He nodded and unsheathed his sword, placing the tip in the small of my back, making ropes appear on my wrists and a gag ion my mouth. Just as he was about to push me through the portal the Spirit Detectives appeared and noticed who was being pushed through the portal.
"KAGOME!" Yusuke yelled as the portal closed behind us. Immediately the ropes and the gag disappeared in puffs of smoke as I released my power, burning them in the process.
"What did we do that for Milady?" Yuki asked "Now Koenma will send people to bring you to the Reikai."
"Which is exactly why I did it." I stated proudly. At his confused look I continued "I haven't seen Enma in 500 years and I want to see him but I couldn't open my own portal to the Reikai or to here to I have to borrow somebody else's portal. So now I need you to take me towards Sesshomaru's castle at a leisurely pace so that they can find me and take me to the Reikai to see Koenma." I announced with a smile on my face, "Onward to the Castle of Fluff" I cheered, skipping forward, earning a snicker from Yuki.
"I don't think you should call him that Milady."
"Well it's not like he would hurt me." I shrugged, earning a raised eyebrow and some eye rolls. And so off we walked for about an hour until I felt the barrier open again. "Wow, they are SLOW! It's about time! Okay, I need you to tie me to a tree and gag me again then release your power and start a fire."
"So I have to act like I am going to cook you?" Yuki asked with a look of pure disgust on his face.
"Just for about….. 15 minutes while we wait for them to get here, and by the way, please don't die, you are my favorite general."
I waited until the SD would be in hearing range then I started to cry fake tears and struggled against my bonds, trying to look terrified. I almost cracked up and broke character when Yuki started to sing.
~Ningen, Ningen
Yummy yummy ningen!"
After a couple of minutes the SD burst into the clearing. "Let her go!" Yusuke yelled at Yuki who was doing his best to look savage.
"NO! She is my desert!" He cackled, doing a very good impression of an insane person. What happened next was the funniest thing in the world and I have to tell Sessh to give Yuki a raise for that one. Yusuke fired his spirit gun at the fire, completely destroying it. So Yuki decided to be funny and so he ran away screaming as high pitch as he could and waving his arms in the air. The SD just stared after him totally miffed until I started to make noise again. Once they remembered I was there they came over and untied me.
"Kagome, are you OK? He didn't do anything to you right? I am so sorry I let this happen!" Yusuke dabbled, frantically checking me over for injuries and so I amped up the crying, making it sound hysterical as I cried into Kurama's chest, feigning weak knees so that he would pick me up and carry me through the portal to the Reikai. Once we got to the Reikai he put me onto a couch and turned around to explain who I was to Koenma I pressed to communication charm and spoke into it, to Enma, knowing that they would hear me and I worked like a charm.
Right after I finished whispering 'I'm in the Reikai' into the charm I had a blade to my neck and 5 people staring at me.
"Who did you contact?" Hiei growled at me, glaring and pressing the sword harder into my throat.
"Now, now, Hiei, is that anyway to treat a lady?" I questioned, grinning, all signs of ever crying gone. This only earned a sword shoved even deeper into my throat so I did what I like to call flickering and body control. I controlled Hiei's arm so that his blade would slice through my neck and then I moved so fast I left an after image of myself with my head cut off for them to freak out over. Kuwabara, Yusuke, and Kurama started to yell at Hiei while he and Koenma looked at my 'corpse' horrified. With the perfect timing Enma ran in, through the door, startling everybody in the room but me. His eyes flickered to me standing in the shadows and I nodded towards my 'corpse' and the SD, who were currently freaking out.
"What in the world just happened?" Enma glared at Koenma was now in teenage form and stuttering like an idiot. Finally Enma burst in to body –shaking laughter and so I flickered next to him giggling madly.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Yusuke yelled as Enma and I stopped laughing.
"Good to have you back." Enma said, hugging me, ignoring all of the questioning looks we were getting.
"How do you know him, Kagome?" Kurama asked. I just smiled and Enma smirked, turning to Koenma.
"Koenma, meet my Mother."
