Eden-
Okay, well, since I can't update over my four day weekend, I might as well write a bunch of stories! I actually got the idea for this story from watching Tom & Jerry © and Fairly odd Parents ©. Strange, huh? Well, this one will be really good! I know it! I am shaking so hard I can barely spell! Thank god for spell check! Well, ON WITH THE FIC!
Love,
Earth Priestess Eden
Chapter One
Kagome Higurashi walked home from her job, which she was, ironically, a history teacher for the high school she had ditched so many times that she had an unwritten record. She sighed as she walked past the sacred god tree of the Shinto Shrine that she had inherited when her mother died. Souta would have inherited it, but when he grew up he decided that he should go to college in america, so Kagome was left alone to care for the shrine.
She gently reached out and touched the bark of the sacred tree, remembering all of the good times she had had on the other side of time with Inuyasha and her other friends. She sighed and told herself to be strong.
"I have to be strong. Inuyasha wouldn't want to see me cry." Kagome told herself as she sat down on the ground. "Not that he would care like that.
She remembered when Inuyasha told her that he didn't like her 'that way.' Then she remembered how Inuyasha had died in the final battle with Naraku protecting her.
She couldn't help letting a few drops of tears fall down her cheeks. She continued to reminisce. 'And then... before he died... he wished with the shikon jewel that I would get exactly what I always dreamed of... So why didn't he live!'
Kagome let her head lay down in her legs. "I just wanted him to live..." Kagome hid her head. "Why couldn't he had lived. It's all that I wanted." Kagome sobbed in to her legs. 'But he didn't want you. And since you knew, you would have always known that you would have simply been holding him to a promise he made in a heartbeat. She would have been holding him to a promise he didn't want to keep. She would have been just like Kikyo. She never wanted to be anything like her incarnation.
Just as she was about to head inside, she felt something that she hadn't felt since she was 18 years old. She felt the presence of a demon. And not just any demon- a dog demon powered by a Shikon No Tama fragment.
Kagome jerked her head in the direction that it was. "It's weakened- not powered to it's full potential! But who has it? I haven't felt a demon in six years! How could there be one now!"
Kagome ran in to the shrine and grabbed her sword- the sword she had been entrusted to guard and protect by Inuyasha himself- the legendary Tetsugia. Strangely, she discovered, that the Tetsugia had obeyed her and transformed for her, even though she was just a human.
Kagome tied the sheath to her waist and ran off in the direction of the Shikon Shard, careful to hide her scent and the sounds of her breathing. She felt the demon coming towards her, and soon realized that the demon was not alone. There was another demon with him, a half demon but still as powerful. She quickened her pace, no longer caring if she made noise. She felt that one of them was injured, and her motherly instincts told her to run and help him, even if he was a demon.
She quickly approached the injured demon, and saw that the demon had no chance of survival against the other demon and his 'lackeys'. The white-haired dog demon was turned away from her, dripping blood from the many slashes that covered his body, battling at least ten men who all held guns and knives.
Kagome saw that even though he was a full demon, it still wasn't a fair fight. So she quickly ran in and took up the defense of the demon.
The demon looked at Kagome in shock, feeling that she was familiar from a long time ago. Then when he saw her unsheathe her sword, he stared at her in awe. He knew what that sword was. "Tetsugia..."
Kagome didn't hear him, though. She was to busy focusing on the problem at hand. The vicious looking demon with big guns.
"Woman! Get out of the way and we might let you live!" One of the men, obviously the leader, warned as he raised his guns. Kagome smirked.
"You know what, I hate guns. The world would be a much better place if people only used guns on themselves." (A/N: I love JTHM, and if you reconized that quote, yay!)
Kagome said as she lunged forward with her sword, swiping the lackeys out of her way and going again for the leader. Not surprisingly, he jumped out of the way.
"Very impressive, for a witch. I expected more from the demon though. Especially since he was once the great lord of the western lands. Sesshomaru." The leader said with a shrug.
Kagome jerked her head up to his. "Sesshomaru? Inuyasha's brother?" Kagome looked at the demon she was saving.
Sesshomaru glared at his 'rescuer.' "Half-brother. What has it been, Kagome? 500 years?!?" Sesshomaru jumped at Kagome. "I have been searching for that sword you are carrying for FIVE HUNDRED YEARS!"
The gun wielding demon just stood there and laughed. "You would think that five hundred years would make the demon lord a little wiser, but it seems now that he has actually grown, dare I say it, senile?"
Sesshomaru switched his attention to the gun-bearer. "Who are you?" Sesshomaru hissed out at the brown-haired enemy.
The man shrugged. "You might not remember my ancestors, Sesshomaru, but I am sure that you know them, Kagome."
Kagome looked taken back. "Me? Why would I know your ancestors?"
The man laughed. "My name is a mark of my great great great great grandfather. It has been passed down through the ages as we searched for you and your great powers."
Kagome was beginning to look angry. "Who? What is your name? How would I be a part of your family history?"
The man smiled. "I think you will be pleasantly surprised to hear that my name is Naraku."
Kagome stepped back a few steps. "Naraku? But, it can't be! He never took a mate! How could he have descendants!"
Naraku laughed. "That is where your wrong! Naraku never took a mate, but he was more than just Naraku..." Naraku took a strange gleam in his eyes. "He was also Onigumo."
Realization came over Kagome. "Onigumo... he loved... Kikyo."
Naraku smiled. "He loved her once. Then he had her. She never wanted him, though. Then she died. He held only hate for her, wanting her to suffer for not loving him." Naraku paused for effect. "But then something happened. Something wonderful. You came from your time. Naraku never wanted to make the same mistake again. He would have you... and willingly. But then he realized that you and that stupid bastard Inuyasha were going to kill him. So he stole the one thing in the world that mattered to him other than you."
Kagome couldn't stand the tension. "What? What was it? What could he possibly care about more than his life?"
Naraku smiled."His son."
Sesshomaru was getting tired of waiting around to hear this humans story. "Who cares about his son! I want to know why you were attacking me!"
Naraku laughed. "You were an enemy of his for his love. Therefore, you are my enemy for Kagome."
Sesshomaru looked disgusted. "That human wench!?! You can have her! She stinks like the stench of humans!"
Naraku smiled. "You don't honestly think that anyone would believe that? That Inu-hanyou used to tell her that as well. I have heard that he would call her names that would insult anyone to the point of murder. If I was her, I would have left him and the shards. But, no. She knew the truth. He loved. He really did. He loved her so much that he gave her life for her happiness. But even she didn't know what she wanted. So time took matters in to it's own hands. It sent her home. Where she would meet me, the man who will have her forever! Hahahaha!"
Eden-
Okay, that could have totally been made in to an episode. The ending, come on, we have all seen an episode end with some evil guy laughing. And I also know that it must have pissed you off to no end. But don't worry. I won't make you wait a week for the next update! You will see it tomorrow. So look for it on !
Adios,
