The Presence

by Empress-JEH

Ever wondered where Kagome's power originally come from? Why she could never seem to harvest or use it properly until the very last showdown? Or why her powers always seemed different from the others? It's time to clear some confusion and map out her actions. While we're at it lets unlock some secrets of the Bone Eater's Well and Goshiboku, shall we?

1. Chapter 1

Feudal Japan

"Sit boy!"

A loud crash was heard throughout the village of Edo. However, not a single head turned knowing it was a usual occurrence. Closer to the eastern side, near the Goshinboku, an inu hanyou could be seen twitching in his self-constructed crater with a raven haired young woman glaring at his exposed back and a young kitsune hiding between her legs while discreetly poking his tongue out towards the fallen inu.

"Why does it matter if Lord Sesshomaru is visiting Rin more often than usual?! One, it's none of our business and two I am going home whether you like it or not. Oh, and if you hit Shippo one more time Inuyasha. I assure you. You. Won't. Come. Back. Up." the raven head huffed, after seeing her best friend's ears flatten. She swiftly turned around, grabbing her backpack along the way, to head towards her initial goal; the Bone Eater's Well.

Shippo, having already stepped away from his adoptive mother when she turned to leave, slowly inched his way towards the sulking hanyou. "Heh, you'd think you'd learn, Inuyasha."

After dodging the sharp claws of the inu, Shippo swiftly made his way towards his mother to send her off once again. Knowing she was still waiting for him, he quickened his pace the way she taught him to. Then seeing her silhouette beyond the tree line, he exclaimed, "Mama!"

Hearing Shippo's shout she stood up from her perch on the lip of the well and opened her arms, hugging her son tightly, peppering his face with kisses before releasing him again.

"I really wish I could take you with me Shippo. But I don't want to ruin your senses before they even fully develop! I'll see you in a week. Love you so much~ And be a good boy!"

With a parting peck onto Shippo's cheeks, the-girl-who-overcame-time went back to her original timeline leaving only the trail of ancient magic that foretold of her presence. But before the glow of the well disappeared a single violet butterfly appeared from the depths of the well, fluttering back through the village passing Sesshomaru and his pack before flying into the distance.
