Full summary: What if Kagome was Sango's sister, and she was trained as a demon-slayer too? What if Kuranosuke had developed a crush on Kagome instead? What if when Kagome was born she had no ability to talk until she reached age fifteen? How will Inuyasha react to all this?
Kagome's slayer suit looks just like Sango's and Kohaku's, except for the color being dark pink or green, it's a deep red.
Younger Sango's POV
I really wish Kagome could talk.
Soon after she was born, we found out she had spiritual powers, but something was blocking her ability to speak. Maybe then she could be happier if she was able to speak like everyone else.
I was sitting on the porch watching as Kagome trained with Father. " Sister? Are you alright?" My five year old brother; Kohaku asked me.
" Yes, just thinking of if Kagome would be happier if she could speak.." I replied dully.
" Oh, well Mama wouldn't want you to be sad... I'm just saying, because I don't like to see you sad either." He said and slightly hugged me.
" Thank you, Kohaku." I said and hugged him back before turning my attention back to Kagome.
" Oh, I almost forgot. Sango? Will you go gather everyone and tell them to meet me in the center of the village?" Father asked me, pausing in training Kagome for the time being.
" Yes father." I said, got up, and left to get everyone.
When everyone was in the village center, father announced that he would be taking Uncle Takoto, Uncle Shintaro, Kagome, himself, and myself to a slaying hunt that had a humongous bear demon terroizing a castle.
By sunup the next morning we all were ready to go.
" Stay safe, Aneue. " Kohaku told us, while giving a big hug.
" You too. Don't be too much trouble to everyone, alright?" I said.
And with that note, we set off.
In about four days time we reached the castle.
" I expect you Slayers to rid my castle of this troublesome demon." The lord of the castle said to my father.
" Aye, my lord. We shall dispatch of the demon plaguing your home." My father bowed.
We waited for night to reach before the demon revealed itself. " Kagome! Let's go!" I said to my sister, running parallel to the large bear demon.
" Hiraikotsu!" I yelled and threw my large boomerang made of demon bones. Kagome threw her own boomerang similar to my own.
Together the twin demon bone boomerangs tore apart the demon, rendering it useless for anything other than a few Slayer suits.
After the demon was dispatched of, I noticed the young lord had been leering at Kagome with a love-sick look on his face, while I was examining my Hiraikotsu for anything in need of repair.
He sniffled to keep his snot from coming out his nose, all the while looking at my sister who was inspecting her own Hiraikotsu for breaks, scratches, or anything of the sort.
I don't think so, she's clearly not interested. Soon after that, my father and the other men were given a cart to carry the dead demons body, and we set for home.
We never heard from the snot nosed boy's castle again.
*Flash-forward ten years*
Still Sango's POV
A lot has changed in the past ten years. I had just turned sixteen the week prior and Kagome will turn fifteen in a week or so. Kohaku had also turned eleven a few days ago.
Kagome has grown stronger, and so have Kohaku and myself.
Now Kagome stood at 5'2", I was 5'6", and Kohaku was 4'9".
" Sango. Myself, you, Kagome, Uncle Takoto, uncle Daisuke and Kohaku will be going to the Hitomi Clan to slay a demon." Father informed me, while I trained with a still un-speaking Kagome.
She had always kept to herself, not really doing anything, just training.
We had packed for the trip and arrived at the Hitomi Clan in good time. Two days to be exact. The lord of the castle informed us it was a rather large spider demon who was plaguing the castle, and he suspected that the demonic presence caused his son to fall ill. At nightfall the demon had shown up, and Kagome, myself, father, and our uncles took to it. Kohaku stood in wait to rid the demon of its head. After doing our part, Kagome and I stood to the side, when a sickle sliced off our uncles heads, and stabbed father in the neck. Myself and Kagome looked to where the sickle was attached to, and saw our very own brother with his hand raised as the weapon fell in his hand.
" Kohaku? Why?" I asked in shock. Kagome sprinted to Kohaku and tried to slash at something with a murderous look on her face. I then saw what must've made Kagome so angry, other than our brother betraying the family. A single strand connected to something on Kohaku's neck, which was also linked to the lord. So he was responsible. I raced towards the lord with my short sword drawn and was almost there when I was struck in the back. I turned my head and saw Kohaku standing with his hand on the other end, and the sickle was lodged deep in my back. Kagome pounced on our little brother with her own sword drawn and he pulled out his short sword blocking her attack. He threw her back-not before slashing her on her stomach-and she pulled herself up, glaring. All of the sudden, Kohaku stopped, and lowered his gas mask, with tears swimming in his eyes. " Sisters, what...what have I done?" He fell to his knees, wide-eyed, and clearly shocked.
Kagome struggled to her feet and I did my best to help her up (what with a weapon still in my back) when Lord Hitomi called out 'the slayers have turned on eachother! Kill them!' the guards fired arrows and four hit Kohaku in the chest, three hit my back (around the sickle), and five or four hit Kagome. I hadn't noticed but Kagome also had been struck in the head with some object and she was bleeding there.
Kagome and I crawled over to where Kohaku lay with arrows in his chest, and we wrapped our arms around him. " Do not worry, Kohaku. We'll always be-!" The sentence died in my throat when two more arrows impaled my back, and two into Kagome's as well. The last thing I saw was my sister and brothers dying faces.
I suppose the young lord had us buried out of pity, because when I came to, it was dark and I smelt dirt. I hauled myself out of the grave that was dug for me, gasping for air, looked to my right, and saw another two graves. But only one had the dirt thrown carelessly, as if it had either just been dug, or someone crawled out of it.
It was longer than Kohaku, so Kagome would be there. Brother, sister. My family...they are all dead.
The young lord was walking by when he saw me half-way out of the grave, and he had a futon set for me, along with medical supplies. " My lord? I went to check on the weapons confiscated from the scene, and one of the boomerangs and short swords are gone." The weapons are gone? Does that mean that my sister is alive? I thought she would have died with her injuries.
" Hmm. Interesting. It matters not. I'm sure one of the servants-" He was interrupted and I suppose someone was to the side of him, facing the woods.
" Ahh, Naraku. Tell me, did the Slayers village receive word of the occurrence?" Then the man continued in a grave voice, " Nay my lord. I am most regretful to say that the Demon Slaying Village had been massacred. No one was spared." What? Everyone was dead?!
" Naraku, who was responsible?" The young lord was curious.
" I had just arrived near the end, but I believe his name was Inuyasha, a half-demon with a iron crushing sword, My Lord." At that, I bolted from the futon and to the bamboo screen door, demanding that I be returned my weapons and that I would kill this Inuyasha scoundrel.
MEANWHILE SOMEWHERE ELSE (A/N: I'm making some of this up, let's just say that they were on the other side of the Kagewaki Hitomi mansion, so three days later Kagome ended up at Kaede's village. Just imagine teleportation when you read this next part.)
" Who be ye?" A villager called into the woods. Stumbling, a figure stepped out of the foliage, looking at the villager with pain filled brown eyes. With the suit on, one could not tell by much, but the woman-a demon slayer-was injured very seriously. She had a slash across her stomach, about six or more arrows in her back, a head wound which had dried blood crusted on it, there was a large weapon strapped to her back-angled as to not hurt her-and she had a short sword.
" Someone get Lady Kaede! Quickly, we have an injured slayer!" With haste, the villager had led the injured slayer to Priestess Kaede's hut where she started to bring out her medicinal herbs.
Kaede wrung the cloth she used to cleans her patient of blood and asked, " How did ye sustain such injuries and survive, child?" She recieved no answer, and looked to the slayer lying on the futon in front of her. The young woman painfully jestured to her neck and slowly shook her head.
" Ye have no voice?" A nod. " Did a demon cause these injuries?" She paused before nodding then shaking her head, meaning 'yes' and 'no' to which Kaede supposed that a demon did have something to do with her injuries, if not directly.
" Have ye any kin?" She started to tear up, and a shake of the head. " Was your family involved with what has transpired on ye?" A nod. When Kaede looked closer, she noticed that the slayer looked quite a bit like her late elder sister, Kikyo. Mentally shaking off the thought, Kaede continued to treat the wounded female.
" How long have ye been without your voice?" The slayer made a motion that looked like a cradle with her arms and swayed it back and forth. " So since ye were a mere babe?" A nod.
Two days later, Kagome-being referred to as 'the slayer' by the villagers-was healed but slightly sore, the cause of which her arrow wounds and decided to take a stroll through the woods not far from the village. She briefly passed by a well before continuing back to Kaede's hut for the night. She didn't notice that it glowed slightly as she was walking away.
Kaede and Kagome were inside her hut when all of the sudden, it sounded like a explosion went off. The two ran out of the hut to see a large centipede demon destroying the village. " Where is the Shikon No Tama?" It screeched.
Now, Kagome growing up in the Slayers village had heard stories of the Sacred Jewel, and new what it could do in the wrong hands. Deciding to lead it away from the village and to the forest where she walked past a dry well, Kagome darted off.
The demon followed her, and she soon landed flat on the ground, and a silver haired half-demon was glaring/smirking down at her. " You look pretty pathetic down there Kikyo."
She didn't know who this 'Kikyo' person was, but could only figure that she must have looked like herself. The demon suddenly appeared from the tree foliage-so quickly and stealthily that Kagome would never have sensed her-and grabbed her around the waist by her jaws then threw Kagome up in the air, which caused her side to split open, and a small lavender jewel to fly out.
Kagome landed on the ground in a heap at the same time the jewel landed. She tried to reach for it, when she was swept up to the silver haired demon and trapped there by the centipede demon's body.
The demons body constricted around her and the half-demon, and it pushed against Kagome's arrow wounds on her back making her mouth open in a silent gasp of pain. The two demons (well one demon and a half) exchanged mockery and threats alike, while the demons body slowly crushed her.
Suddenly the village men cried out that the demon swallowed the jewel, and had begun to access it's full power. This was most terrifying, hopefully the demon will be vanquished before there are many casualties.

Well that's the first chapter, I hope you all like this, I have asked Wolf Blossom about creating a cover picture for A Switched Time-Table. Hopefully a drawing is made, and possibly colored so you can understand what color Kagome's suit is, I had no luck searching Bing. You can find just about any other damn thing, except for that.
-Always,
