Great Power
By Miko Goddess Kagome
Chapter 1: A new me
Once up a time there was a prince who was so selfish and unkind that he was and all who lived in his castle wee put under a powerful spell. The prince was turned into a terrible beast. He would change back into a prince only if he learned to love someone and be loved in return.
In a nearby village lived a beautiful young woman named Belle. She loved to read books about adventure and romance. Gaston, the hunter, followed Belle everywhere in town. He wanted to marry her, but Belle thought Gaston was a conceited bully.
One dark winter day, Belle's father, Maurice, started off on a journey through the woods and lost his way. Maurice found shelter in a gloomy castle. There he was greeted by the Beast's servants. The spell had changed them all into enchanted objects.
Before long Maurice was discovered by the Beast!
"What are you staring at?" roared the angry beast. Then he threw Maurice into a dungeon. Maurice's horse came home alone. "Where's papa?" cried Belle.
"Take me to him!" Belle climbed on, and the horse galloped back to the Beast's castle.
The beast terrified Belle, but she tried to be brave. "Let my father go!" she cried.
"Let me take his place." The beast agreed, but if only Belle promised to stay in his glooming castle forever. The Beast's enchanted servants welcomed Belle and tried to make her feel at home. There was Cogsworth the mantel clock. Lumiere the candelabra, and Mrs. Potts the tea pot. They knew that if Belle and the Beast fell in love, the spell that lay over the castle would be broken.
Little by little the Beast grew kinder towards Belle. One day he led her to his magnificent library. "It's wonderful!" Belle gasped. "It's yours." said the Beast. Belle slowly grew fonder of the Beast and learned to trust him. She even taught him how to dance. But her heart ached for her father. "If only I could see him again." she told the Beast. "Come with me." he answered. "I will show him to you."
The Beast's rooms showed the effects of his anger and despair. Belle help up a magic mirror and saw Maurice, looking tired and sick. "I must go to him!" cried Belle. The Beast agreed to let Belle go, even though it mean the end of his hopes for breaking the spell. When Belle returned home, she told Gaston about the Beast's kindness. Gaston was jealous.
He convinced the villagers that the Beast was a monster and should be destroyed. He led the angry mob to the Beast's castle. Gaston found the beast and fought him on the castle rooftops. In the midst of the battle, Gaston lost his footing and fell to his death-but not before he had stabbed the beast.
Belle rushed to the beast's side only to find him badly wounded. "You came back," he whispered. Belle's tears fell upon the beast. "I Love you," she cried. The spell was broken! The beast was transformed into a handsome prince, and the enchanted servants became human once more. Belle and her Prince would live very happily ever after.
"Mommy that was good story…read me another one…"
"No, Kagome it's time for bed…"
"Okay mom, can you call Daddy I want to say goodnight?"
"Alright dear…"
"I love you mommy."
"I love you too Kagome."
Just as the lady of the house was about to call her husband to say goodnight to their daughter a servant came running into the room.
"My lady, my lady our castle is under attack my Lord wishes for you to take Princess Kagome and leave our lands."
The lady gasped in horror "I can not leave my husband to defend our lands alone."
"My land he is more concerned about your and the Princess's life."
Sighed "Very well…"
The lady quickly took her daughter into her arms and ran out of the castle hidden with in a black cloak and ran towards the forest a few demons had followed her but she had shot a few arrows their way. The lady concealed her aura and scent she hoped that others wouldn't find them. When they reached a clearing she found a well and decided to jump in. when she climebd out and found that she was in a whole different world she walked outside of the hut and saw a women sitting on a bench. She ran towards the strangers for help.
"Excuse me young miko I am in need of your assists."
"What can I do…what service can I give you."
"My land and castle have been under attack and I wish for you to take care of my child she is a sleep now I have cast a spell on her to conceal her memory and all that she has known…I replaced some memories for Kagome to think that you are her mother. I am afraid that I will not survive this battle I just hope that her father will. On her 16th birthday tell her what you know and the give her his letter and thank you for all your help…and the child is Kagome Princess of the Northern Lands her father is Lord Kai."
And with that the lady towards the well and jumped down she shred tears because she would no longer see her daughter. She knew that she was going to died and nothing could change that fate of hers.
10 years later
Kagome had just woke up her brother Souta was making a lot of noise as usual. Kagome had been having dreams for the past few weeks they were all the same. Kagome was a little girl in a land that seemed familiar to her but she didn't know why. She was in a garden with a lady with long black hair and a man that was an Inu-Youkai.
These people looked familiar but she couldn't pin point why, Kagome had been trying to figure out what these dreams were meaning but she come up always in a dead end. Kagome walked up to her desk and looked at her calendar tomorrow was her 16th birthday. She was happy, yesterday she had to sit Inuyasha about 50 times telling him that she was going home for her birthday. She just hoped that he wouldn't come over from the feudal era to drag her back.
Kagome had been going back and forth from the feudal era to the future Kagome had long given up on school she was failing all her classes so she just dropped out. Miroku and Sango had confessed their love for each other but of course being Miroku he couldn't keep his hands to himself which he paid dearly for that.
Kagome had adopted Shippo as her son through youkai terms it was a very long ceremony. Inuyasha was pretty much the same going off the Kikyo once and a while then coming back to the group as if nothing happened. Kagome had found out long ago that her feelings for Inuyasha was nothing but a crush. Kagome knew that Inuyasha didn't like her as a girlfriend but she hoped that they could still be great friends.
"Kagome?"
"Yes mom?"
"Breakfast is ready."
"I'll be right down."
"Alright dear."
Kagome walked out of her room and towards the kitchen, her mother Rei was placing the food on the table. Kagome walked up to the table and sat down next to Souta. Souta and her grandfather were having a heated conversation about Demons and miko a legend about a demon lord that fell in love with a miko. Kagome took some food and placed it on her place she thank her mother then she began to eat.
"Kagome?"
"Yea mom?"
"When are you going back to the feudal era dear?"
"Well I was thinking that I would go back tomorrow night why?"
"Well then dear if you are leaving tomorrow then I guess I will tell you later then."
"Tell me what mom?"
"After breakfast dear we'll talk in your room."
"Okay."
They all eat in silence Kagome was wondering what her mother would want to talk to her about. Maybe it had something to do with her father, as long as Kagome could remember she had no father. Her father had left her mother after Souta was born. When Kagome was done with her breakfast she put her dirty dishes into the sink then she headed upstairs to her room.
Kagome figured that he mother would take a while to come into her room so she decided to take a shower. When all of that was done Kagome got dressed and waited in her room for her mother to come to her. An hour had passed and Rei still had shown up Kagome was kind of getting worried so she headed for the door when she opened it her mother was coming up the stairs with a buddle in her hands. Rei walked into Kagome's room and sat down on the bed and motioned for Kagome to sit down as well.
"Now Kagome dear what I am about to tell you is going to change you life forever I just hope that you are able to handle it."
"I'm sure that what ever it is mom I will be okay."
"Alright now…Kagome your birthday is tomorrow and your turning 16...Sigh…. Kagome…I'm not your birth mother…."
"WHAT…"
"It was 10 years ago…I was sitting by the god tree me and Seiya Souta's father had another fight again about money and paying the bills. I went to sit and to calm myself out of no where a beautiful lady with blue eyes and long black hair appeared before me asking for help. Of course being a good person and a miko I said I would. She told me that her land and castle was under attack and that she couldn't help her husband because of her daughter. She told me to take care of you and that she placed a spell on you and on your 16th birthday to tell you and give you a few things. She also said that she placed false memories so you would think that you belonged here all your life."
Rei handed Kagome a letter that was addressed to her.
"You don't know anything else about my Parents them?"
"Yes I know that your father is the Lord of the Northern Lands his name is Kai…you are from the feudal era as your parents I am not sure if you are demon or half demon, your mother didn't say but she was human and she said something about putting a spell on you so I am assuming that you are a half demon."
"Mom can I ask you a question what happened to Souta's dad?"
"Well sweetie…after you came into our lives I got pregnant with Souta. Seiya went to the store to get something I was carving….Blueberry ice-cream with pickles… Sigh…there was a robbery at the bank next door. When the man came out Seiya and the man ran into each other and for the robber to get away he took Seiya as a hostage…when the robber taught it was safe he kill Seiya…we were all shocked about what had happened we had many help with the neighbours. The government gave us money and they paid for the shire."
"Mom I'm sorry…"
"Don't be it wasn't your fault besides I have two great children what more can I ask for?"
"Money?"
"Kagome…anyways that's all I know I just hope that it will be enough for now until you tomorrow morning."
"Thank you for everything…"
"I think I'm going to the mall see you later mom."
"See you later Kagome."
Kagome put the letter on her desk, Kagome wanted to read it later before she went to bed. She grabbed her purse kissed her mother goodbye then she left out of the house towards the mall. Kagome spent hours shopping she bought new clothes, supplies and some body washes, shampoo and other items that were running low.
When Kagome got home she had lots of bags in her hands she could barely hold everything but surprisingly she managed to hold everything. Kagome dumped the bag by the stairs and headed to the kitchen her mother had just finished making dinner and was setting the table. Kagome walked over and helped her mother when the table was ready Kagome called Souta and her grandfather to the table.
They ate in silence when Kagome was done she put hr dishes to wash and headed upstairs with her shopping. When she was in her room she dumped the bags again on the floor and headed for the bathroom to take a quick shower. Kagome entered her room again cleaned and in her Angel/Devil Pjs.
She sat on her bed thinking about everything that just happened today she just couldn't believe it her mother wasn't her mother. Who was she? Kagome was no longer Kagome? Then what was she a demon? Was she still a miko? She would have to see tomorrow what she was. Kagome walked over to her desk and she picked up her letter and went back to her bed she laid under the covers and she opened the letter and began to read it.
My dearest daughter Kagome,
Today is your 16th birthday you don't know how much I wished to be here with you when you celebrate this day. I wanted you to know that I loved you very much and I still do in the after life. I knew that I was going to died in this war and I couldn't bear to see you lose your life as well that's why I sent you through the well. You father Lord Kai of the Northern lands is alive and well. He will be expecting you within a months time after you birthday. My baby Kagome you may have noticed a few things that has changed so I will explain some and your father will explain the rest.

Know that I will be always with you have a piece of my soul and heart with you protect yourself and be a good girl. I love you and always will.
Love you mother &
Lady of the Northern Lands
Lady Midoriko
"Midoriko? No way…it cant be? This is way to weird for comfort."
Kagome couldn't believe it Midoriko was her mother…Sigh…her life was getting to complicated now. She sighed again…Kagome turned to her night stand and turned off the light, she pulled up the covers and went to sleep.
Dream
Kagome was sitting in a garden the sun was bright…Kagome was picking some flowers when she heard a voice. "Kagome?" Kagome turned around and she saw no one so she answered "Who's there?". She quickly turned around again and she saw a beautiful lady approaching her, Kagome quickly recognized the women as her mother Midoriko.
"Mom?"
"Yes sweetheart. I have missed you so much…I watched you grow up into a beautiful young woman."
"Mom it's good to see you again but I have to ask why are you here?"
"I am here sweetie so I can train you with you demon and miko powers. As you are sleeping your body is change…I can only train you so much the rest you will have to go to your father."
"I understand when do we begin?"
"Now sweetie…
Midoriko began to show Kagome how to bring out her power…how to use her power and energy through her nails and through a sword and other weapons. Hours had pasted and Kagome had learned so much but as the time was pasting by Kagome didn't want to wake up from her good dream.
"Kagome it's time that I leave you…"
"Mom no I don't want you to leave me."
"But sweetie I need to go…I will see you again when ever you have the Shikon Jewel with you…I will always be with you…Kagome you must see you father soon…you have may things to talk about with him."
"I will mother."
"Goodbye my darling until we see each other again."
"Bye."
Midoriko faded away from Kagome, she had stood in the garden looking at the spot where her mother had just been.
The sunlight had hit Kagome on her face, Kagome was stirring in her sleep. When she opened her eyes they revealed that they were no longer brown eyes. But now they were violet-blue Kagome stretched herself and got up from her bed. She walked over to her floor mirror to see the new Kagome. Her hair had grown to her waist she had midnight blue high lights, on her forehead was a midnight blue shaped diamond which was the royal symbol of the Northern Lands.
On her cheeks she had two demonic lines, she had Elvin ears and she had two long and sharp fangs. Her claws were long and on the tip it was red, her body was more fuller and muscular. Kagome looked beyond her shoulder she saw her black wings, she looked amazing in her Youkai form.
Kagome kind of wished that she had a long fluffy tail like Sesshomaru but like they say beggar cant be choices. Kagome took one last look at herself then she went downstairs to the kitchen. Rei was in the Kitchen cooking breakfast when she turned around to greet Kagome she was a little shocked that Kagome had already changed into her Youkai form.
"Kagome dear you look beautiful…are you are half demon like Inuyasha?"
"No mom I am a full demon…"
"Are you hungry?"
"Yea…after breakfast I am going to pack and head back to the feudal era…"
"Alright dear."
