Chapter 1: A Betrayal and a Cry for Help
Kagome continued walking through Inuyasha's Forest in search of her new fiancé, who the forest was named after. She formed the biggest smile on her face at the thought of the word 'fiancé.'
Last night, Inuyasha confessed his feelings to Kagome under the Goshinboku and asked her to be his mate, which she blissfully accepted.
Inuyasha couldn't believe that she had said yes to him. To show Kagome how much he loved her, they made love right under that sacred tree where they first met. Afterwards, Inuyasha explained that the official mating ceremony, in yōkai tradition, would be performed on their wedding night.
It didn't matter to Kagome though, that first night being together was perfect. Granted that it hurt a little and it was kind of awkward, since it was both their first time, but she wouldn't have changed a moment of it. Kagome loved Inuyasha so much that it felt like her heart could burst.
With Naraku gone, and the jewel gone forever, everyone's happy ending shortly followed after.
Sango and Miroku got married and left to rebuild Sango's yōkai slaying village, along with Sango's brother, Kohaku.
Shippo left to join the Kitsune Academy to train to be a strong kitsune yōkai.
Rin was now being looked after by Lady Kaede but Sesshomaru still came by to visit her every now and then, along with Jaken and Ah-Un.
"And now it's mine and Inuyasha's turn for our happy ending," Kagome said out loud. When so much in the world seems right, it feels like nothing could go wrong.
%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%& %&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&
It took a while but Kagome finally found Inuyasha's whereabouts at the Goshinboku.
She walked down the path and froze at the sight she saw before her, 'What?'
Inuyasha was in a passionate kiss and embrace with Kikyo.
'Why is he?' Kagome couldn't finish the thought, for she was stunned and upset. On a reflex she took a step back, which caused her to break a stick on the ground, grabbing the attention of the couple.
Inuyasha looked up at her with cold and un-reading eyes. Kagome looked straight at him, trying to understand what was happening, but she couldn't read anything clearly off his face.
There was no remorse. There was no guilt. The only thing she could see was malice.
Without warning, Inuyasha jumped towards Kagome, "Iron Revere Soul Stealer," he yelled attacking her with his yōkai claws.
Fortunately, Kagome's powers had grown over the past year and she was able to put up a barrier to defend herself from his attack.
Once the attack ended, Kagome put the barrier down. She tried to speak to Inuyasha about why he was doing this, when an arrow hit her in the left calf, causing her to collapse to the ground in pain.
"Well, it looks like my reincarnation saved us the trouble of hunting her," Kikyo said with a smug voice as she wrapped her bow back on her shoulder.
Inuyasha chuckled ominously at the comment.
Kagome was so confused and in pain from her wound that she couldn't even think straight. All she could do was stare at the face of the inu hanyou that she loved. She was brought out of her stare when Kikyo kneeled down to her and pulled her chin over to look at the undead miko's face. "I'll be taking my soul back now," said Kikyo.
Kagome didn't get the chance to beg for her life or call for help.
Luckily for her though, it came anyway.
Sesshomaru, who appeared from the sky above them, used his poison claws to slash and Kikyo's arm.
Kikyo screamed in agony as blood and clay parts began to fall to the ground beside her.
Inuyasha saw his new lover fall to the forest floor and growled, "You bastard!" He drew his trusted weapon Tetsusaiga, and began to attack Sesshomaru.
The Yōkai Lord of the West, easily dodged the pitiful hanyou's attacks. It was pure coincidence that Sesshomaru appeared since on his way to visit Rin at the village, that was when he smelled Kagome's blood. He then saw what was transpiring between the miko, his half breed brother and the undead miko. It seemed that the undead wanted the rest of the living miko's soul in order to live once again.
Sesshomaru didn't like this.
He respected the miko, Kagome, since she protected Rin on more than one occasion and helps take care of her in the village. So the honorable thing to do, was to step in and aid the miko.
Inuyasha's rage caused his attacks to be sloppy and Sesshomaru was able to defend himself with his poisoned claws alone. "Hurry and go," Sesshomaru told Kagome with the emotionless voice he always used.
Kagome shook herself out daze, "Thank you," she said to the yōkai, as she began to stand up and limp away from the fight.
"Oh no you don't," growled Kikyo, who was still on the ground in pain. She grabbed Kagome's leg and tried to drag her down. In defense, Kagome used her good leg to kick Kikyo in the face. The undead miko let go of Kagome's leg to cradle her face where she had been hit.
With that distraction, Kagome moved as fast as she could to the Bone Eaters Well. The moment she got there, due to the blood loss from the wound in her leg, she fell head first into the well.
%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%& %&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&
Kagome floated in midair, feeling the familiar sensation that the Bone Eaters Well's power gave when she traveled through time, until she landed safely to her own time.
Looking down at her injured leg, she took a deep breath before she broke the arrow in her calf in half and pulled it the rest of the way through, yelling in pain as she did so. Once that was done, she immediately used her new healing powers to close the gashing wound.
When she was done, Kagome took in all that had transpired in the last ten minutes.
"Inuyasha," she said sadly as tears began to form, "…How could you?"
With tears now falling down her face, she slowly climbed out of the well. Once outside, Kagome did the one thing she swore she would never do.
She sealed the Bone Eaters Well.
'It's over now,' she thought to herself with a broken heart.
%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&
It was now a few weeks after that horrible day. And today, Kagome learned that when she traveled back from the Feudal Era, she had brought something precious with her.
%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&
Six years later
Kagome had just taken the last few steps that led to the Higurashi Shrine when she was attacked.
But she had expected it.
"Kaa-san," called the little five year old girl, as she ran into Kagome's awaiting arms.
"Hello, Kar-chan," Kagome greeted and embraced the girl happily. No matter how bad Kagome's day was, she felt better after seeing her daughter.
Years ago, when Kagome found out she was pregnant, she was at a loss.
On the one hand she was happy to carry the child of the person that she had loved…at the time. On the other hand, she was a high school dropout who was now carrying a baby that was one fourth inu yōkai.
It was terrifying not knowing how to raise a child that had yōkai heritage, let alone giving birth to one. A hospital was definitely out of the question. If the baby ended up having dog ears or any other physical yōkai traits, they would have taken the baby away to do experiments or Kami knows what else. Kagome couldn't, no she wouldn't, let that happen.
It wasn't till a few months into her pregnancy, that Kagome was given a solution to all of her problems.
She received a letter from a famous company called Tashio Corp that offered her a job as a secretary. When she read who wrote the letter she had almost fainted since the owner and CEO of the company who wrote to her was named Sesshomaru Tashio.
Wanting answers, Kagome went to go meet with the CEO and confirmed that he was indeed Sesshomaru the Yōkai Lord of the West.
Kagome had asked him hundreds of questions that day. How was he still alive? Were there any other yōkai in this time period? Why hadn't he tried to contact her before? And lastly she asked why he would offer her a job.
The Yōkai Lord answered all of her questions and to answer the last question, he simply said, "This Sesshomaru is not without honor, and must take care of the members of his clan. That includes you and your pup."
Sesshomaru wasn't the only yōkai alive that she knew. Her adoptive son Shippo was also alive, and so were their friends Kouga, Ayame, Ginta, and Hakakku.
It turned out most powerful full blooded yōkai still roamed the world. Kagome was surprisingly happy by this information. It comforted her to have some form of familiarity back in her life.
Kagome learned, that Shippo had mated with Rin about ten years after Naraku was defeated. By doing so, Shippo and Rin shared the same life span. As long as Shippo lived so does Rin, slowly aging with him.
Kouga and Ayame also mated and bore many wolf cubs over the centuries.
It was thanks to her friends that Kagome was able to have a successful pregnancy and birth.
A few months after she was reunited with her friends, Kagome gave birth at her family's shrine, with Ayame and Rin as her midwives, to a beautiful baby girl. She named her newborn daughter, Karin. The name's translation is 'pure,' Kagome thought it was appropriate since Karin was now the 'pure' joy in her life.
At first glance, people would say that Karin was a chibi version of her mother. However, to the trained eye, a person can see the small inu yōkai traits that she inherited from her hanyou father. Like the little twitches her human shaped ears made when she was listening to a conversation from another room. The same thing happens with her nose due to her sensitivity to smell.
The only noticeable thing Karin got from her father was her amber eyes. Kagome's mother, Kun-lun, thought that it would be best for Karin if she wore contacts in public since the color was so unusual. Kagome disagreed but promised that when Karin was old enough, she would allow her to make that decision herself. Besides, she loved her daughter's eyes; they were unique and beautiful just like Karin.
"So what did you do today?" Kagome asked Karin as she lifted the little girl and carried her toward the house.
"Me and Obaa-san, went to the park where the playground is. I went all the way on the monkey bars this time," said Karin.
"Wow," said Kagome amazed.
Karin nodded proudly, "And then we came home to have lunch with Jii-san. He kept telling stories when we were eating, but I wasn't really listening." Kagome giggled a little at that. Her Jii-san never got the hang of entertaining younger children.
"Then Souta Oji-san came home from school, and we watched T.V. Then we played a new video game he got but it was kind of boring. Then I heard Kaa-san coming up the stairs so I came to see you," Karin said the last part happily. Karin loved to meet her mother right when she came home. Everyday when the sun is about to set, she silently waits for her mother's recognizable footsteps and scent to hit those stairs.
"Well, I'm glad you had fun today," Kagome said when her daughter finished. "Do you want to go out with Kaa-san for a bit?"
Karin nodded excited.
"Where do you want to go?" Kagome asked but had a good guess what the answer would be.
"ICE CREAM," Karin yelled enthusiastically.
Kagome chuckled, "Okay, but we got to eat dinner first."
"Okay," Karin said not caring what she had to do to get ice cream.
"Please…help," said a faint voice that Kagome heard. She turned around to see if anyone was behind her, but no one was there. She put Karin down and walked around the grounds to find the source of the voice. She didn't see a soul in sight.
"What's wrong Kaa-san?" Karin asked walking up next to her.
"Kar-chan, did you hear someone ask for help?" Kagome looked down and asked her. Karin shook her head.
Kagome looked around one more time before shaking her head in confusion, 'I guess I imagined it.'
%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%& %&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&
His ship was going way to fast as he entered the atmosphere, but that was of little concern.
He had to hurry.
He had to warn the people of the third planet that the Invaders were coming. That they would destroy everything, just like they destroyed his people and home world.
He landed his ship, ungracefully, in a desert near an army base, he transformed his appearance to seem less threating to the species that over ran this planet.
"What the hell is that?" a human soldier said pointing a weapon on him.
"Please, I mean no harm," he tried to explain. "I'm here to warn," he stopped speaking once he read the soldiers mind, "No."
He was already too late.
The human soldier morphed into one of the Invaders and shot the weapon at him.
He collapsed to the ground in pain from the bullet wound. Slowly he lifted his head to look at Kagome who was watching the scene with horror.
"Please…help," the green man said looking in her eyes.
Kagome awoke from the dream in a cold sweat and sat up from her bed, 'What the hell was that?'
She couldn't have imagined what she had just seen. All of it had felt so real, the terror, the pain, everything.
The voice she heard earlier that day, it was the same as the one in the dream. He wasn't a yōkai though, that much Kagome was certain of. 'He was something else…Maybe an…alien,' It made sense since he came from outer space, and that green skin and orange eyes.
This alien was in trouble. He was asking for help…her help.
Kagome lay back down on the bed to stare at the ceiling, 'What should I do?'
%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%& %&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&
The next morning Kagome went straight to Sesshomaru office at Tashio Corp.
"Sesshomaru-sama, we need to talk," she told him as she entered.
He was sitting at his desk looking almost human.
Over the centuries, he along with other yōkai were able to glamour themselves to hide their demon traits. Although he was wearing a dark blue business suit, his human glamour showed that he had shoulder length black hair, no yōkai markings and his finger nails looked trimmed and clean. However, his eyes stayed the same color.
"What is so important that this Sesshomaru must be interrupted?" he asked her.
Kagome told her about what happened yesterday and her dream from last night.
Sesshomaru was silent when she described everything in the dream that she saw. When she was finished he went to his computer and pulled up a few photos. He turned the monitor for her to see the screen, "Was this the army base?" he pointed to one photo.
Kagome took one look and nodded, "Yes…how did you know that?"
"This Sesshomaru has been receiving photos from some concerned informants about important people mysteriously disappearing then reappearing the next day but seemed to change in both personality and scent," he said handing her a file of photos of said important people. Kagome glanced through them to see that majority of the people in question were United State politicians.
"There has to be a connection," she said thinking out loud as she browsed through the file.
Sesshomaru nodded in agreement, "If what you've seen is true, then a great battle may occur soon."
Kagome closed the file and placed it back on the desk, "What should we do?"
Sesshomaru leaned back in his office chair as he thought it over, "You were given this message for a reason. This Sesshomaru suggests that you go to America to seek the truth."
Kagome's eyes widened at this, "But if there is going to be a battle, shouldn't you be the best person to go?"
Sesshomaru shook his head, "It is important that yōkai remain hidden. Humans may be accepting of that alien 'Superman' but accepting yōkai, especially those in high power, may not be as tranquil. "
She had to agree with that, when she was first told who the full blooded yōkai in high society were, even she got a bit shaken.
"Besides, this Sesshomaru knows that you have been keeping up with her training," he said referring to her spiritual and physical training.
This was true, it was a way for Kagome to relieve stress in both her body and mind, "Alright, I'll go," she agreed a few minutes later.
"Good," said Sesshomaru with the same expressionless face he always held.
%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%& %&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&
Sesshomaru informed Kagome that there would be a package waiting for her when she arrived at her shrine and instructed to take it with her on her mission.
She was scheduled to leave on the first plane tomorrow to America on a 'business' trip, for Tashio Corp. 'At least that was what the paper trail would say.'
"Why do you have to go Kaa-san?" Karin asked upset that her mother was leaving for two whole weeks. 'That's like forevers.'
Kagome smiled down at the girl. Of course, she would miss her daughter like crazy but she was leaving to help keep her and her family safe.
"Kar-chan, Kaa-san has to go because some bad people are coming, and they are gonna hurt many innocent people. So, Kaa-san has to go and make sure that it doesn't happen. But don't worry, your Sesshomaru Oji-sama, and Shippo Onii-san are going to be here to help protect you."
Kagome had told Karin many stories of her adventures in the Feudal Era, so Karin knew that her mother was capable of standing up to almost everything. But still, "I want to go with you," Karin cried.
Kagome shook her head at Karin's stubbornness. 'Definitely, her father's daughter…okay and a bit from me too.' "No Kar-chan, you need to stay here, so Kaa-san, knows that you're safe."
Karin cried harder and hugged her mother tightly. She refused to let go the rest of the day and slept next to her mother all night.
The next morning Kagome told Karin, her mother, Souta, and grandfather 'good bye.' They all were aware of what Kagome was doing and knew that they couldn't talk her out of it. So they wished her luck on her journey.
Kagome went down the shrine stairs where a cab was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, "Here I go."
There you have it folks, the end of chapter one. So what do you think so far? Like it. Hate it. Love it. Think it sucks. I want to know. I'm going to update a new chapter every Friday (time may vary). I'll try to update on Saturday and Sundays too if I can, but Fridays are definite. Next time: Kagome meets J`onn and other super heroes.
Till then my readers
