Prologue: the betrayal and the beginning of a journey.
The inutachi was in the middle of a battle against one of naraku's detachments, hakudoshi, on the corner of the battle field was a young girl wearing a strange green kimono, wielding bow and arrow with a demon fox kit on her shoulder, a pink light engulfed the tip of the arrow before she released it towards their opponent, a small white haired boy on top of a white demon horse with orange manes and flames on his feet allowing it flight, the white haired boy was hakudoshi and the horse was entei.
Not far from the girl and fox there was a monk, he was preparing some ofuda because there were saimyosho surrounding hakudoshi, preventing the monk to use his wind tunnel, in the sky along with entei and hakudoshi there were a female demon slayer and a nekomata, the slayer holding a large boomerang, preparing to throw it at their enemy. Underneath the two was an inu hanyo wielding a large fang shaped sword, attacking the enemy brashly.
The arrow fired by the girl barely hit, but did not cause much damage but enough to make their opponent retreat. "come back here you coward!" the inu hanyo roared, otherwise not making a move to stop the retreating figure. Slumping to the ground, the girl says "let's just set up camp, inuyasha." placing her bow and quiver on the ground along with her yellow backpack, exhaustion showing in her sapphire blue eyes.
"shut up wench, it's your fault he got away!" inuyasha snarls angrily at the girl, tears coming to her eyes as she apologizes.
"don't bother apologizing kagome! If you were stronger like kikyo you might actually be useful! All your good at is being a shard detector! I say you and that weak brat go home and let kikyo take your places, she is stronger than the both of you combined!" inuyasha yells making kagome and the fox kit gasp in horror at his words, looking at their friends for help only to see that the demon slayer and monk looking at them with cold eyes while the nekomata looks at inuyasha with shock.
"we agree, if it were lady kikyo with us we would have long defeated naraku." the monk says and the slayer nods saying "it would be better if you and shippo leave." both having cold voices. "M-miroku? S-sango?" kagome asks in horror as the two glare at her and shippo. "i'm going to go and find kikyo. Wench you and the runt will go back through the well and protect the jewel as well as you can because once we got the rest of the jewel i'll come and take you shards." inuyasha says before leaving.
"kirara take them to the well and protect the jewel shards." sango says and the nekomata transforms before walking towards kagome and shippo, looking at them with sad eyes as she lets the nearly sixteen year old and fox kit mount her before she takes off. Arriving at the well the three say good bye before kirara leaves.
"i can't believe them... I thought they were our friends..." kagome says allowing her tears to shed. "mama, please don't cry..." shippo says, his own tears welling up in his eyes. "you're right... they don't deserve our tears... we should get stronger and prove ourselves..." kagome says and shippo nods agreeing. "let's go say good bye to my family before coming back here." kagome says picking shippo up and jumping into the well, a blue light surrounding them and sending them to the future.
They arrived and climbed put of the well, heading towards the house, yelling out for her family upon entering. "oh, kagome, thank god, I thought you wouldn't be back in time for your birthday." kun-loon, kagome's mother, said with a smile on her face. "mom... about that... this will be the last time I come to the future... inuyasha and everyone kicked us out of the group and called us weak... we want to prove them wrong... so were going back to past and staying there... forever." kagome says closing her eyes at her mother's shocked gasp.
"i-i... I understand." her mother says and walks to her room picking up a box before coming back. "i wanted to give you this for your birthday... but I suppose it won't hurt giving it to you sooner." kun-loon says handing kagome the box who opens it and looks inside with a bewildered expression. "t-these...?" she says startled looking at the contents of the box.
Inside there were a couple of kimono, fighting kimono, hakama, haori and an Indian dress, but what surprised her the most were the two sai, bladed fan and long naginata with a jagged blade. In total there were three kimono, two fighting kimono and three pairs of hakama and haori.
The first kimono was solid black with long bell sleeves and a midnight blue obi. The second kimono started as cerulean blue and faded into blood red, which became solid after the obi which was also blood red, the kimono had a light blue under kimono. And the third kimono was black with blood red sakura petals starting her right shoulder down to her right ankle, the obi was solid black, the under kimono was blood red, it's sleeves going past the outer kimono's covering her hands, on the back of the outer kimono was a picture of the shikon no tama.
One of the fighting kimono was chinese and the other japanese. The chinese one was a sleeveless chinese dress going down to her ankles with splits starting at her waist on both sides, the dress itself was silver with patterns of black and red roses on it, on the back was a picture of the shikon jewel, it had tight black pants and black chinese shoes with it. The japanese kimono was midnight blue, the sleeves were tight starting her elbows to her wrists and have silver sakura petals on them, on each side starting her thighs were slits, like with the chinese one, silver sakura petals are around the bottom, the obi is silver, it also had the shikon jewel on the back and the pants and shoes from the chinese dress were to be used with this one too.
The first pair of hakama and haori were black with silver sakura petals on the right sleeve and pant leg. The second pair were those a miko wore but the top was silver and the pants different shades of cerulean blue. The third pair had black hakama with a small picture of the shikon jewel on bottom left pant leg while the haori was both silver and midnight blue, left side silver and right side blue, another picture of the shikon on it's back, but this time the jewel was surrounded by blood red petals.
And lastly the Indian dress, otherwise known as a sari, was black with silver designs, it was accompanied by black shoes with silver designs.
The two sai were simple, the hilts black and blades silver, the bladed fan was black and silver with blood red kanji saying 'protector of the jewel' some gems lining the blades. The naginata was spear like and around kagome's height if not a bit taller, the shaft was black and wrapped with cerulean and midnight blue cloths, the tips of the cloths looked like they were tipped into red blood, the blade of the naginata was jagged and silver in colour, carved into the blade were the kanji of 'protector' and 'purity', there were two golden rings in the blade just above where it connects with the shaft.
"i...i don't know what to say... thanks mom." kagome says smiling lightly as she strokes the clothes.
"i also have a little something for shippo." her mother says giving them a smaller box, in that box were two pairs of hakama and haori, two kimono, a small katana and books on how to use their weapons. One of the hakama was red with an orange haori, the other hakama was black with some fox fire on the legs and haori was silver having fox fire on the sleeves. One of the kimono was red and had orange foxes on it, the obi was green also with foxes. The other kimono was navy green and had a light orange inner kimono, the outer kimono had a single red fox on the back with fox fire surrounding it, the obi was darkish blue.
And lastly the katana was normal, it had an orange hilt and silver blade, the sheath was black with foxes on it.
After thanking her mother some more kagome found a small black bag where she could keep their clothes and books in and wore the miko robes she got, attaching her sai to a black belt she put on, the fan she placed in her bag, the naginata she wrapped in bandages and it some how ended up looking like a staff, attached too her back, the backpack was one which wrapped around her waist. Shippo wore his usual clothes and attached the sword to his hip. "hey shippo how well can you cast an illusion?" kagome asked and shippo replied "one good enough that neither inu-baka or miroku could see through it!" his smile dimming when he says their names.
"i would like you to give yourself an illusion so you look like me when we go into any villages, I don't want inuyasha or anyone hearing about us." kagome says, flinching when she says his name, shippo nodded and tried it, once the illusion was up he had human feet and ears, no fangs, claws or tail, his hair was black and his eyes a sapphire blue like kagome's, after getting an applause he dropped the illusion.
"mom! We're leaving!" kagome says, saying good bye to her family, before jumping in the well with shippo, once out of the well, kagome sealed it temporarily and put a seal on the jewel shards to mask their presence, but not before taking two small shards out, she put small barriers around the two, one of them she put into her right wrist and let her flesh heal around it in order to hide it and did the same for shippo, the small barrier would prevent either shard from being noticed, or let the shards be tainted, the shards were only in their skin for it's protection.
After a pause they went of into the opposite direction of the village, soon finding a cave where they set up for the night, they exchanged a meaningful look before falling asleep snuggled together, hidden deeply in the cave in safety. The looked they had exchanged had told them both that they knew what they were doing and that their journey to strength had begun.
