AN: Yeah TOTALLY UN-beta'd, honestly i want to just be random and have fun updating stuff on this acct. While i do pride myself that i'm a bit more then the average writer, I'm gunna be honest and tell you my grammar SUCKS. and i have issues with Run on sentences, when i re-read its usually to make sure it sounds well when i read it outloud. Again i dont plan on over thinking this account. maybe i lose points that way but i dunno. i just want to get some of these mutantplotbunnies out of my head. That being said, this is a Kakashi/Kagome pairing. I will NOT be swayed to make it anything else, as i really dont like some pairings i see a lot. This will eventually get to a point where the M rating is necessary. :3 MPB likes lemons lots!
Chapter 1
Kagome couldn't believe that she was in such a darkness, after everything was done, it was just her and the jewel and darkness. The incomplete miko with a partial soul, and an incomplete chaos marble with an agenda all its own. She felt a bit bitter that it had come down to this, in the race for the jewel she had made a family in the past, sure it was strange and odd, but they had come to know and depend on one another. Now, the jewel was taking that away from her.
The jewel was telling her, not giving her the option, but telling her that it would merge with her. It was unstable, it knew this, as its guardian she should, it told her, be glad to merge with them. They weren't planning to take over her body, they didn't want her to fight as Midoriko did, trapped and unable to gain a win. They wanted to become part of her, changing her, making her faster, stronger, able to heal like a demon, able to weird its awesome power. And the cost, she would be human still, with every downfall that all humans had. When she died, and her soul went to rest, theirs would as well.
They were not giving her a choice, they were simply advising her what was going to happen. More so, they wouldn't be going back to her era, or that of the one she had grown to love. They would be going to an era that was beyond her birth era, to a time where few demon still existed, and those that did, would not seek the power of the jewel, for they would not need it. It would be a harsh time, yet it would be a time that was like both the ones she could not decide over. The jewel was all too aware that their guardian was not pleased, but after more then one thousand years of fighting, all they, the battling souls wanted, was rest.
They would be able to get that in the future. Or so they hoped. The problem now was their guardian, Kagome was fighting tooth and nail from letting this happen, she didn't want to leave her family in the future, nor did she want to leave Inuyasha and the gang. It was becoming violent, bloody, angry. The three remaining souls, Midoriko, and the two demon were against her, never thinking that she would be like this. Never knowing that the forth soul had sealed so much of the girls power away. She was making this hard. But they would not give up, they wanted to rest, and the means to do so were through her, whether she liked it or not.
"You must let us rest!" Sighed Midoriko as she tried to convince the younger miko that this was the right thing to do.
"By giving up everything I want? What about me? What about my families? I have other duties!" bellowed the nearly snarling shikon miko.
"Your duty is to the jewel. To us." said a male demon that looked like a dark version of Sesshomaru, though more passionate, and possibly more angry.
"You can't do this!" screamed Kagome in tears. "This will break me." she whispered but they could all hear it.
"You fear leaving them." stated the other demon, a golden looking male that was no less sinfully beautiful as the dark one.
"I do not fear leaving them! I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE THEM! You! All of you!!! You have taken so much from me already, leave me be!" screamed the still enraged miko.
"We can't let that happen. We're tired. The Kami chose you not we. We want this over with, and you will help." stated Midoriko, while the darker male snuck-up behind her knocking Kagome out. Tears streamed down her face, and while Midoriko felt horrible for this, she wanted to rest, she and her fellow souls were tired. They knew in the end this would mean death for them, and end, but after so long they were ready for it.
"Her memories." stated the golden male. "We will take all that she clings to, leaving only what will help her." the dark male nodded, as did Midoriko.
"She will hate us." stated the miko sadly.
"It matters not. We decided this while we were fractured. That was far more painful then anything we have ever done while fighting. This Raiden tires of fighting. Let this female, our miko, have our powers and be our end." stated the dark male, now known as Raiden. A dark inu once known for lightening control, as well as control over water making him a rather deadly thing. He had loved Midoriko for her raw power alone and more so for who she was, as had the golden male, both were inu's while the last and most recently killed Magatsuhi, had been the antagonist to everyone and had incited the war between them all, had been a shadow demon.
"This Mokuketsu, while he does not like it, agrees. I no longer wish to exist this way. She will gain Raiden's lightening and more then likely wind, as I have an affinity for it as well as my flame. Her miko abilities will rise as well with your contribution Midoriko. This one wants to end this pointless battling. We will take her memories, her family, her future, her present and hide them deep within her, with us. She may hate us, but there is nothing more that can be done if we wish to end this existence. The era we send her to will be able to help train her." he sighed tiredly.
"She will have a new life so that when she remembers her old it will no longer matter, and if and when she remembers her old self earlier then we would like, she will have already found herself rooted into the one she will have. Agreed?" he looked to the woman that both he and the dark inu loved. He and Raiden were both in love with the powerful miko, and she had not loved either in that way. The Shadow demon Magatsuhi had fooled them both, tricking them into bringing their men and armies to a battle that would not have happened if either had let go of their stubborn pride. They had thought that the miko had sided with the other, because of Magatsuhi, hurt and angry they had declared war.
The miko caught in the middle had gone to stop it, knowing that it would do no good for either side. In the end she had ended it, catching all three demon lords with her in a world of eternal dark pink, where they constantly fought, were there was no end in sight. And then after eons of the same thing, they were fractured, broken, each shard held a bit of them in it. It was beyond painful to have their souls fractured as such, but after a short time, they were coming together. Magatsuhi had been released by the evil one, Naraku and in doing so leaving the other three alone, finally the fighting came to a stop. Midoriko tried to work her will from the inside, and eventually Magatsuhi was killed by a force they knew not of.
Shortly after they came to this point this conclusion, they had their guardian, and they would end all of this. Die together. Rest in peace. It was disheartening that she did not wish to help them, but they had given up everything just as she was. Their families, clans, titled, and holdings were long gone. Without heads and lords they had fallen, or so they had assumed. It was with this thought that they came to this conclusion. All the training she, Kagome had while growing up and since coming to this past era would stay. The teachings of her mother, things she had learned growing up, lessons, archery, all of it would stay as well. She would even have some of her memory, but they took away all things related to time, all things that gave her a reason to fight them.
They let her remember death though, it would be easier for her to let go of both era's and for her to assume that she was alone, if she remembered that she had no one. Her father's death was the big one, she would not remember her mother, brother or grandfather. Nor would she remember Sango, Miroku, Shippo or Inuyasha. She would remember what they taught her but not much ease. Theses memories until she was able to unlock them herself would be blurs, dreams that seemed like etches on the wind. It took some time, but when they were done, erasing, re-writing her memory, all three stepped towards the girl still unconscious at their feet and touched her body.
They all glowed as her eyes fluttered for only a moment locking at the sight of them, small angry slits that made them all shiver a bit knowing that karmically they were so very wrong in doing this to her. Her voice dark and angry slurred from drowsiness, the only feeling she knew instinctively towards their beings, "I hate you." she whispered out, the souls seemed sadden but obviously they did not care enough to stop what they had started. Kagome's eyes closed once again and her body seized while taking in their souls. The three souls merging with her own forcing her body to change a bit, not much but making her stronger, faster, smarter. Giving her the ability to heal, and wield their power, she screamed, and it echoed on for what seemed like forever, but there was no one to hear it in the darkness. Swirling powers surrounded her as a whole, and she would be terrified if she was awake to see what was happening.
It was as though her body was the epicenter of a black hole, more so then even Miroku's cursed wind tunnel, everything around her darkness swirled and flowed into her, wrapping her body in a dark cocoon, only to have a beam of light burst from its center and out the shoot of a not so dry ancient well, in a land that had not seen the presence of a miko in more then a few thousand years. When Kagome came to, she didn't really remember anything at first only knowing that somehow she was in water, and it was dark and cold. Looking up she saw the night sky above her, not sure why that image even stirred her she called out for help.
She splashed the water about and finally after a few minutes saw a head pop over, their voice echoed around the long well shaft, she couldn't tell if they were male or female, only that they had spoken. She was so cold, freezing in the water, she could hardly think. Feeling and looking very much like a drowned cat, when a rope was tossed down Kagome latched on for dear life. Pulling herself up with a strength she was not even sure she had moments before, as the rope itself was pulled up as well, she didn't take notice that she was somehow nearly naked. Not knowing why or caring about it either, she was only glad to be out of that shaft, out of the cold water, and into fresh air, she hadn't liked the darkness.
Chest bindings and the remnants of a skirt of some sort were all that clung to her naked, wet nearly sixteen year old body. She got to the lip of the well and flopped over its edge, falling ungracefully, she saw and old woman and a younger boy then she, but still he was about to hit puberty she noted. Kagome closed her eyes taking in a great lung full of air as she shivered, her eyes opening when she felt warmth falling on her body. Looking she saw that the boy though younger then her was about her size, he was big for his age as she could see that she herself wasn't exactly tiny, but the word 'healthy' came to mind.
The boy, who she could see was asking the old woman something, was now showing a bare chest, Kagome was dazed, and tired, she ached, and she felt like passing out. Shivering still and somewhat in shock she did just that. Not knowing what awaited her when she woke up, not knowing the world she was in, knowing nothing. She frowned as darkness embraced her. Kagome was now in a new world.
