Chapter One- Kagome's a What?
~*~* Sengoku Jidai- At the well ~*~*
"Inuyasha! I really need to go home," Kagome pleaded with a thick headed hanyou. "I'm going to visit my grandma for a few weeks and I need to go home and pack."
"Hell no! You are not going home for a few weeks because you are not going home period."
Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kirara were all watching the ongoing fight bored expressions. "I don't see why he won't let her go. I mean, I don't want her to leave for that long either, but I'm not going to try and stop her," Sango said in a tired voice.
By this time Inuyasha was eating dirt and Kagome was about to leave when she got an idea. "Hey Kirara, Sango-chan, Shippou-chan! Wanna come with me?"
All three jumped at the chance and ran over to Kagome. Shippou hopped onto her shoulder and Kirara jumped into her arms. Sango stood peering over the rim of the well uncertainly. "Are you sure we can get through the well, Kagome?"
"I think you can, but hold on to me just in case." Kagome shifted Kirara so that she was in one arm and grabbed Sango's hand with the other. They both placed one foot on the old wood of the well and prepared to jump. "Okay Sango-chan, on the count of three. 1…2…3." The two girls leapt into the well and were welcomed by a mystical blue light that enveloped their bodies and transported them through time and space.
A few seconds later they were gently set down on the ground at the bottom of the well. Sango looked up to see not a blue sky, but a roof. She was surprised and pleased that the well let her through.
"Come on Sango-chan. We need to pack and find you some clothes. I guess you can borrow some of mine for now, but you'll need your own if you're going to stay the whole time." They walked out of the well house and Kagome turned back towards it. She placed a hand upon the closed door and chanted a simple spell that Kaede had taught her.
"What are you doing Kagome?"
"Temporarily sealing the well so that Inuyasha doesn't bother us. Okay, so how about we go find you some clothes, Sango-chan?"
"What about Shippou?"
Kagome looked at the kit and said, "I don't think he'll need any modern clothes. People don't usually question the way a kid dresses. I'm not exactly sure why, but I think it has something to do with the fact that they don't want to unintentially wound a kid's pride. Of course, you can get some new clothes if you want to, Shippou-chan."
"Can I get some like this?" he asked pointing to what he was wearing.
Kagome smiled and said, "We'll see. Now we need to find something for you to wear shopping, Sango-chan."
They walked up to the front door and were immediately greeted by Kagome's mom. "Kagome can I talk to you right now, dear?"
"Sure mom." Kagome followed her mother into the living room, with Sango and Shippou following. "What's up?" she asked her mother as she flopped down on the couch. "Is something wrong?"
"Well, dear, I wouldn't exactly say anything is wrong, but there is something I need to tell you." She took a deep breath and looked Kagome straight in the eye. "Kagome you're a silver kitsune." (a/n Pretend Genkai is a kitsune too okay?)
"WHAT?!?" Sango, Shippou, and Kagome had all screamed the word at the same time, magnifying the sound. Kagome continued on, "Since when? How? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Calm down Kagome. You've been one your whole life. It's because your father and I are too. The reason I didn't tell you sooner was because I didn't think you were ready."
"Why don't I have any powers?"
"We sealed your powers when you were born. But, I think it's time to unseal them. Tonight is the full moon. We will unseal them then."
"Is this why I'm going to grandma's?"
"Yes, honey. Your grandmother is very adept at fighting and has actually requested to train you. It is a great honor. Genkai doesn't take on students everyday."
"Grandma wanted to train me? Why?"
"Well, I told her about your little adventures and she thought it would be best if your powers were under your control in case you needed to use them."
"I'm glad she feels that way 'cause I want to get stronger," Kagome said quietly, thinking of how she always had to be saved.
"Oh, Kagome, there's one more thing."
"Yes?"
"Um, well, you see…"
Her mother's behavior was starting to make Kagome nervous. Mrs. Higurashi was never at a loss for words. "What is it mom?"
"You're kind of betrothed to someone…"
"WHAT?!?" The three had, for the second time that morning, yelled at the same time. And again, it was Kagome who continued, "What do you mean? There's no way I'm going to marry some guy just because you say I have to! I will make my own decision in that department, thank you very much!"
"Come on Sango, we need to get you some clothes." Kagome started to walk upstairs when she realized that Sango wasn't following. She turned to find Sango rooted to the spot, a look a pure shock on her face.
'Okay, so my best friend is a youkai. She's also betrothed to someone. I don't believe this! Kagome of all people! How can this be?' Sango was jolted from her thoughts as a hand appeared before her face, waving to get her attention.
Kagome was looking at her worriedly. "Are you okay Sango-chan?"
"Of course. I'm just a little surprised at all of this," she said truthfully. Then she turned to Mrs. Higurashi. "Who's Kagome supposed to marry?"
"His name is Youko. I don't know that much about him, other than the fact that he used to be the Reikai's most notorious thief and he's a kitsune (a/n Kagome knows about the three worlds). Your father made the arrangement and that's partly why I want you to give this guy a chance. I thought that we should honor your father's wishes."
Kagome could hear the sadness in her mother's voice. "I'll think about it mom." She started up the stairs again, thinking of what Youko could be like.
