Truthful Dreams

Chapter 1: Not AGAIN!

A simple girl walked down the streets of a normal town, or at least that's what someone would think from far...far away. Looking closely at the girl, you could tell her chocolate brown eyes scanned through everything and everyone. She was prepared for anything this time! 'That stupid, stupid, stupid kid! I'll get him for sure this time!' The girl thought to herself as she made her way through the main street of Mazeir. The sun shined on her silky black hair as her head shot in various direction that seemed suspicious.

"Quit being such a coward and come out already!" She yelled out in frustration as she couldn't find him.

"Aw, Ms. high-and-mighty can't even find her mortal enemy?" A voice mocked her from the shadows.

"HA! At least I'm not the one that HIDING from a girl," she replied with a sly smile.

"Why you lit--" He was interrupted.

"PRINCE!" A middle aged man came running towards a small ally to the right of the girl. "What are you doing here!?" The man talked frantically, he was obviously nervous, and scared to lose his job if anything happened to the Prince of Mazeir. "Let's go! We had to meet with your father to decide the future for you and your brother!" The man pulled out a young boy by his arm from the ally. He was around 11 years old, but still very feisty. "Let me GO! I have some unfinished business!" He struggled against the man's grip. "Please, Prince Inuyasha!" The man tugged at him even hard, this time earning the victory. "ARGH! WHEN I GET OUT OF THAT PLACE I WILL BEAT YOU!!" Inuyasha cried out, as he was dragged towards the castle.

"Yeah, whatever," The young girl rolled eyes at the Prince's stupid actions.

Mazeir was a peaceful town, or so she thought. She always ended up getting in a fight with Inuyasha. They were sworn enemies in a way. Oh, yes of course. How could a prince with such high status, even be with a civilian? Well, the answer is simple enough. She was not so low on the 'status-chain' either. She was part of a noble family. Her elder brother and her had lost their parents a couple of years ago, for an known reason to both of them. Before the siblings starved, or faced any problems, a noble family of this town had taken them in. Unfortunately for the girl, that family was the best of friends with the royal family.

"Ka-go-me!" A very angry male voice called from behind the dazing girl.

"Uh-oh" Kagome tensed up at the anger in her brother's voice.

"What are you doing?!" He grabbed her ear, and focused her attention on her actual appearance.

"Ow, ow, ow...i said OW!" Kagome tried to make her brother let go of her, but...it didn't quite work.

"You...were in a fight with Prince Inuyasha again, weren't you!" Her brother scolded.

"It was his fault!" She rubbed her aching ear. "If he hadn't called me names--"

"Called you names?" Her brother gave her an evil eye. "If I remember correctly, you always called him 'gurlyman', because of the royal ear-ring he wears!"

"But...its for GIRLS!" She protested.

"Uh-huh...if you hadn't noticed..." Kagome's brother picked her up and made his way to their own home, "every member of the royal family wears a different ear-ring to identify themselves." She rolled her eyes as she just let herself dangle in her brother's arms. 'Identification ear-rings! Who has ever heard of THAT! Jeez, if they need to identify themselves, they could use something called...the identity CARD!' Kagome thought to herself as her day ended with a messy fight with Inuyasha and his 'gang'.

When she got home, she was a mess. Her clothes were covered in mud, and her hair was worse than ever, and to top it all up, her grudge for gurlyman lasted more than ever. Her cheeks were red at the thought of him beating her at the race they had in the mud this morning, but when she called a re-try, he ran away laughing at her. What an idiot; was always what she thought to herself. "Kagome, come down for a minute," her brother called from downstairs. "Coming," she replied as she jumped out of her bed and made her way downstairs.

"Um, could you do me a favor?" Her brother asked her, when she reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Yes?" She replied, a bit confused.

"Can you go to the market and buy me these?" Her brother gave her a list of items.

"But...isn't father coming home today?" She gave him an innocent look.

"Yes, but he's going to be delayed...so um...you'll make it back on time," He said hurriedly, his eyes held panic in them, "so, hurry along now" He pushed her out of the house, so she could go do what she has to.

"Okay, see you in a couple of minutes" Kagome replied and made her way up the street, yet again.

Her brother closed the door when she left, and let out a heavy sigh. "I hope she's not back for a while, or it will create problems." He made his way to the back of the house, closing any and every windows, locking every door and securing every security item they had in the house. He jumped at the sudden sound of the bell. "Dad!" He whispered to himself, and ran towards the door. He quickly opened the door, and let a middle-aged man in. The man was almost in his 40s, and had a slight bread. His blue eyes shined like crystals, and his hair was as fair as snow. (A/N: He's not OLD, that's his natural colour! xD)

"Is she out of the house?" he asked.

"Yes, I send her out and I'm sure she shouldn't be back until midnight." Kagome's brother said.

"Oh, that's good. It'll make things easier for us," the other man replied.

"So, what's going to happen?" The younger man asked, a bit worried.

"Well, So far--"

The door bell rang again. The men exchanged glances with each other, and then their eyes went back to the door. The older man went up to the door and peeked through the side window beside the door. He spotted an 11-year old girl, with tons of things in her hand. "I thought you said she won't be back until mid-night!" The older one whispered, loudly to the younger one. "Well...I gave her a list of items, and I was sure that I put 50 things down to get," the younger one said nervously. "In any case, let her in." Kagome's brother opened the door to let her in.

"DADDY!" Kagome passed her items to her brother, as soon as she saw her dad.

"How are you doing, sweetie?" Her dad hugged her tight.

"I'm doing great! I missed you!" She hugged back.

Unfortunately, their family moment was disturbed by an intruder. This time the intruder did not ring the door bell. He banged straight on the door, emphasizing his existence to everyone inside.

"Son," Her father handed Kagome over to her brother. "Make your escape from the back, go now, before they circle our entire house." Her father was serious, and he didn't take his eyes off the door. Kagome's brother just nodded at the plan, and picked Kagome up and over his shoulder, making his escape from the back door and into a thick forest.

Her father stared at the door as the one outside continued to bash the door down. He could see the men that had started to gather around his house through the window. "Okay, it's just me and this fellow," he whispered out to myself, and waited for the last screw to come out of its henge. Time seemed to have stayed still that the moments of tension. But, all that he knew was that he wanted his family safe, he didn't want them to die early, especially Kagome. She had to live through all this! Kagome's father prepared himself as he saw the door fling open reveal his opponent.

Meanwhile, Kagome and her brother carried on through the forest at top speed. He didn't stop even though he knew something bad was happening inside his own home, with his own father. Kagome didn't say anything, because she knew that right now was not the best time to ask questions. Not soon after, Kagome's eyes widened in shock as she felt claws strip through her brother's back, scratching a bit of her arm too.

Her brother's scream echoed through the still woods, his body fell to the cold ground, life-less. Kagome was petrified with fear, she didn't know what to do. She glanced up at the attacker, but couldn't see through to his face. The attacker didn't look older than herself. His facial features were hidden as no light reflected off his face. Trees continued to block the moonlight to appear on the attacker's face. His body shifted towards Kagome, his sharp claws flexed and ready to attack. Kagome's eyes widened as she saw blood, her brother's blood drip off from each claw. 'I...I'm going to...die' She thought as she was still too scared to move.

Her eyes stayed on his claws as he raised them high and brought them down. Kagome closed her eyes shut and waited for an impact, but it never came. It felt like she was cushioned by another body instead. She noticed that this person had saved her life, they had dodged the attack, by jumping out of the way in the nick of time. Kagome felt both of them collide with the hard ground, but she felt nothing, as she was safely encircled in their embrace. The two got up, and noticed that the attacker that fainted himself, his face still was un-seeable, since it was covered in dirt, but Kagome could see a small glint coming from somewhere on that person's face. Before she could get a better look, she smelt something odd. It was smelt like something was on fire. Looking around, she saw her house on fire.

The house that she had left her father in, was on fire. Realization had just hit her, when she saw that everyone she had loved, her family had been killed. Kagome let of a murdering cry as she fell on her knees and let the tears fall out at the loss of her family. She didn't pay any attention to her own rescuer as she cried her soul out. Her screams lasted in the woods for a long time, until silence elapsed.


-.-. 5 Years Later .-.-

"Hmmmm..." a beautiful teenage girl got up from her slumber, stretching her arms way up her head. She let out a happy sigh, as she made her way to the bathroom to freshen up and make her way to her job. Kagome had moved out of Mazeir, although she didn't know how she had ended up in the Paseis Academy. It wasn't any ordinary academy though, not any normal human can walk into it and get an admission. Kagome on the other hand, she made it in, by using the spell book that was with her since that unfortunate night.

"KAGOME!!" A girl, same age as Kagome walked into her room, and looked around for her. Obviously for something important.

"Sango?" Kagome came out of the bathroom with a towel on her head. She had just taken a shower and was ready to get down to business. "What happened?" Kagome asked calmly. "We have an assignment! We have to be at the office by 11:30!" Sango said excitedly. "11:30?..." Kagome and Sango glanced at the clock that sat lazily on the night stand beside her comfy and made bed. It read:11:29 at the moment, they were late...again.

"Uh-oh!" Both the girls hurried out and ran through the hallway as fast as they could, without killing anyone with the force they were using in their handy running. They made to the main office at 11:30:57, right on time? or late 57 seconds? That depends on the chief.

"You're late," a male voice grumbled out from behind the curtain.

"We're sincerely sorry," Sango and Kagome said and bowed her heads as an apology.

"Just make sure it doesn't happen again. Here. Your mission and details are in this folder, we can't help you on this one, because we don't know much about the place that you need to go to." The gruff voice continued, handing them a blue folder through the curtains. "Your mission is to secure an alliance and retrieve an item, to which you will be given information into when you arrive there."

Sango and Kagome nodded at the information they were given thus far, but they needed to know more then just that. Before leaving the office, Kagome skimmed through the folder and looked at the general information.

"Location:... Mazeir?" Kagome read out loud. "That's a land of demons! We can't go out there!" Kagome had always avoided anything involving her past, and that included Mazeir. "And on what grounds to you appose this mission by?" The male replied with annoyance, it was pretty clear that he didn't like being in an argument. "It's a land of demons, we are just merely --" Kagome stopped talking as soon as a hand slammed the table through the curtain. "Ms. Kagome, if I remember correctly you were raised in the lands of Mazeir and that is the reason I suggested the two of you to go on this mission, since you will be familiar with the atmosphere and surrounding there! No more questions, you are dismissed!" The man plainly ended the conversation and let the girls go.

"I know that land all too well," Kagome whispered to herself, she was back in her room.

This academy was raising witches, people who had magic within them. Kagome had heard about this place from her father a lot, he had always threatened her by it, since it was very very far away from her hometown. But, the day after the tragic events, she had woken up on a hill right by the Academy, with a witch book in her hands. She looked through it and decided to go for the entrance exam and make it as a witch. Kagome was human, until she performed a perfected spell on herself to pass as a witch. It wasn't a simple spell, Kagome at that time was still 11, but she had performed a high class spell with out a flaw, but how could she have done that without an ounce of magic in her veins? She let it pass, as she had started a new life by helping people in her own way.

Sango was her best-friend in the academy, they had been partnered up since Kagome had passed the entrance exam with the highest mark. Oh, and Kagome was also part of the 'Top 10 list'. She wasn't as good as Sango, since Sango was born with magic in her blood, where as Kagome produced it, thus, she had to work harder than everyone on the entire campus, if she wanted to be on that list.

Hours passed by quickly, and every student had finished with their duties in the Academy, Kagome had already packed her bags, since they had been leaving tomorrow, and the break of dawn (even though she preferred it to be at the break of noon). Sango didn't ask many questions about Kagome's past of why does she try hard and all the stuff a normal person would be curious about. But in this case...Sango, is definitely was not normal. She is a lunatic, who doesn't know how to read a map, use advanced technology and she is the worst at academics. But, she is the best when it comes to planning and taking down opponents.

Anyways, moving onto the main character. Kagome made her way from the dinner table to her room, so she could get some sleep. Sighing, Kagome opened the door to her room and changed into her pajamas. She had left the folder on the study table, trying to avoid it as much as possible today. Kagome flopped down on her bed, and was about to close the lights to her room, but her eyes landed on the folder instead. It was calling to her. 'Aw man...let's just get this over with,' she thought and heaved a sigh before she got out of bed and went to get the folder that held her mission information.

Mission: Help secure an alliance between the Demon and Witch world, at any cost.

Rank: S.

Location: Mazeir.

Appoint-er: King of Mazeir.

Time-limit: Eternity.

The lands of Mazeir are in an up-roar due to some civilians reporting attacks by un-known creatures. Most of the people in Mazeir have blamed it on the witches and wizards, looking upon the history between the sworn enemies. The king wants this problem solved as soon as possible and at any cost. The King had wanted someone from his own land to help, but he also needed to built an alliance between two different species. He has also asked help in retrieving a valuable item that hold tremendous amount of power. He claims that that item had been locked up in a special room where no-one could get through without being caught and it was discovered gone during the usual clean-up of that room.

Kagome had nothing to say. She was going to the castle. Kagome sighed at the irony of her life and put the folder down, refusing to look at the rest of the pages. She understood the basics, and all she'll do now is play along with the rest of the people. Tomorrow will be a whole new day. A whole new adventure and a whole new twist in Kagome's already twisted life. With a happy thought in her mind, Kagome closed her eyes and went back to sleep and awaited the dawn to begin her very long-lasting mission.
