Burglar POV
My friends, and I are in the process of robbing the local shrine. The woman, her father, and husband are already dead having searched the house except for one room. I go in that room which turns out to be a nursery fortunately for the baby girl my friends think all the rooms have been searched, and there is nothing of value left to take. I walk over to the crib pick her up, wrap her up in her monogrammed blanket, and leave the house with the baby bag slung over my shoulder. I travel far out of the city into a dense forest where no one will ever find us. I know very well that I am unsuitable to raise an infant. I need someone who is lonely, but will raise her properly. When I was a child my parents would tell me stories of The Man in the Moon, and how he would help anyone who needed it. I never stopped believing that those stories were true. Maybe The Man in the Moon can find a suitable parent for this adorable baby girl. I look up at the full moon, and say.
"Man in the Moon I need your help. Please find a suitable parent for this child. Someone who is lonely, but will make a good parent. Please she has no one left in the world to take care of her." burglar
I will do as you ask. Put the baby in the basket, and I will give her to the right person to raise her.
"Basket, what basket?" burglar
The one on the ground in front of you.
I put her in the basket, and look up at the moon saying.
"Thank you so much for your help." burglar
Your welcome.
I turn, and walk away knowing the child will be just fine.
Jack POV
I have just finished bringing winter to Burgess, and now I am relaxing on the shore of the pond I was born in. Wonder if I will ever meet someone who can see me, or if I will always be alone. A ray of moon light falls over me, and a basket floats down into my arms. After the moon beam goes away I put the basket down, and take a look inside. What I find surprises me a beautiful baby girl. She looks up at me, and smiles. On the off chance she can see me I put my face close to hers, out of the blue she reaches up, and pinches my nose. Yep she can definitely see me. Now to find out her name. I look at her blanket, and find a name monogrammed onto it: Kagome. The next thing to do is go see Mother Nature about adopting Kagome.
Normal POV
Jack flies to Mother Natures meadow, and lands without a sound. Mother Nature notices him, and says.
"Welcome home Jack." Mother Nature
"Good to be home Mother." Jack
"What brings you home after such a long time? Or did you just come to see your Mother?" Mother Nature
"I came here because The Man in the Moon gave me an orphan to take care of as my own." Jack
"I see. Are you sure you want to do this? Raising a baby is a big responsibility. Are you sure you can handle it?" Mother Nature
"I'm sure Mother. She needs me, and I need her." Jack
"Very well then. Give her to me. I want to have a look at my soon to be grand daughter." Mother Nature
Jack nods, and hands Kagome to Mother Nature. When she looks Kagome over she notices a great amount of dormant power in her that might interfere with the adoption. So she grows the most beautiful sturdy bow you have ever seen. Once that is done She gently removes every last drop of the power from Kagome, and implants it in the bow. Once that is done she hands Kagome back to Jack, and says.
"Shall we commence with the adoption ceremony?" Mother Nature
"Yes." Jack
The adoption ceremony goes perfectly, and Kagome is now the daughter of Jack Frost. Kagome Frost is a winter elemental. As she grows she will be able to do everything Jack can do, and maybe more. The three of them spend time together as a family. The visit ends; Jack and Kagome head out to find some where to live for a while. Jack settles on an old abandoned root cellar. He sets the moon basket down, and ensures the cellar is in good repair before taking Kagome inside. As soon as the moon basket is set down Kagome starts asking to be held. Jack walks over to her, picks her up, and starts playing with her. Night rolls around, and the little family goes to sleep dreaming about their bright future.
Years have past, and Kagome is now ten. Mother Nature comes up to her, and says.
"Kagome." Mother Nature
"Grandma!" Kagome
"Look how much you've grown Kagome." Mother Nature
"It's so good to see you Grandma. I get bored when Daddy's at work." Kagome
"It's a good thing I came by then isn't it." Mother Nature
"Why are you here Grandma?" Kagome
"Well Kagome you are now of the age were you get to pick out your conduit." Mother Nature
"What's a conduit?" Kagome
"It's a tool that you channel your abilities through. You also gain a few new ones depending on what your conduit is." Mother Nature
"Awesome. Can we go pick one out together?" Kagome
"Certainly. Next stop The North Pole." Mother Nature
Mother Nature and Kagome Frost arrive at Norths workshop. Kagome starts to look around at all the stuff he has. A few rooms worth of searching later, and Kagome finds what she is looking for. It is a Paint Brush with horse hair bristles, and a beautiful ivory handle. Kagome just knows that this is her conduit. She runs back to Mother Nature, and says.
"Grandma, Grandma. I found my conduit." Kagome
"Let's have a look." Mother Nature.
"Here you go Grandma." Kagome
Mother Nature takes the brush, and looks at it saying.
"Kagome did the brush look like this before you picked it up?" Mother Nature
"No. It had brown bristles, and a pristine white handle. Why?" Kagome
"Because that means that you truly have found your conduit. The bristles changing color, and the blue inlay means that this brush was made specifically for you, and only you." Mother Nature
"Yay. Can we go somewhere else so I can try out my brush?" Kagome
Mother Nature nods, and they leave Norths workshop. They arrive home, and Mother Nature stays with Kagome until her father returns.
Five years later, and Kagome has mastered using her brush. Jack is so proud of his daughter that he says.
"You have done an amazing job mastering your conduit. So why don't we celebrate by going on a flight over Japan. Sound fun my little artist?" Jack
"Sounds great Dad let's go." Kagome
Kagome and Jack are enjoying a nice leisurely flight around Japan when Kagome asks.
"Hey Dad can we please stop at that shrine? I want to have a look around." Kagome
"Sure. Why not." Jack
"Thanks. Your the best Dad ever." Kagome
"I know." Jack
Jack and Kagome set down between the house, and the shed housing an old wooden well. Kagome hears rustling in the well house, and goes to investigate. At the bottom of the stairs she finds a cat. She picks up the cat, and turns to leave. When she is grabbed from behind, and dragged into the well. The cat she had been holding fell out of her arms while she was being dragged. Kagome lets out a terrified scream as she falls into the well. The next thing she knows she is at the bottom of the well looking up at the sky. The wind pulls her out of the well, and sets her gently down on the grass. Kagome decides to explore a little so she starts walking in the direction of a really tall tree. When she gets there she finds a boy stuck to the tree. She plays with his cute ears, and then some people start shooting at her. The leader gets them to stop, they tie her up, and take her to a village. A villager says.
"Make way for high priestess Kaede." villager
An old woman comes up to her, and starts throwing salt at her saying.
"Demon be gone." Kaede
"I'm not a demon ok." Kagome
"Are ye not? Then why were you found in the forest of InuYasha?" Kaede
Kagome sits there while theories fly round about who she is. All the while she is thinking: That stupid well must have sent me back in time. I wonder if I can find Grandma, because I don't think Dad has been born yet based on hairstyles of the men. Not to mention the 500 year old dialect everyone is speaking. I need to find Grandma so we can figure out how to get me home..
Kagome and Kaede go into Kaede's house. They get to talking, and Kaede says.
"Bare us no ill will child. For though I now see ye mean us no harm in these troubled times of war no stranger may be welcomed among us without deep distrust." Kaede
"Kaede what do you know of the well in InuYasha's forest?" Kagome
"Ye are referring to the Bone-Eaters Well. There are many rumors, and legends surrounding the well. It is said to devour the bodies of demons that are thrown into the well." Kaede
"Have you ever heard any that tell of it having magical properties?" Kagome
"Some. To what be ye referring?" Kaede
"Do any of those rumors say anything about time travel?" Kagome
"No why do ye ask child?" Kaede
"Oh no reason just a theory I have about how I got here." Kagome
Kaede nods, starts thinking to herself about her past, and Kagome's appearance. Then the centipede from the well starts wreaking havoc Kagome decides to lead the centipede away since it's really after her. She doesn't want to fight so close to the village. So she calls out for someone to help. The boy pinned to the tree wakes up just as she lands on her front at his feet. He looks at her, and says.
"Hello Kikyo playing with bugs now are we." ?
"So Your alive." Kagome
"Why are you taking so long to kill it Kikyo? Just do her like you did me." ?
"huh." Kagome
"You look pretty dumb there Kikyo. The Kikyo I know wouldn't waste her time." ?
"That's it. Kikyo, Kikyo, Kikyo Who ever that is I'm not her because..." Kagome
"She's here." ?
"I must have the sacred jewel." centipede
Sacred Jewel. ?
The boy accuses her of being Kikyo again, Kagome marches up to him, and says.
"Who ever Kikyo is I'm not her, because my name is Kagome, Ka-go-me." Kagome
"And I'm saying you gotta be her cause if you weren't there's no way you'd smell so... Hey your not her." ?
"Told you." Kagome
"Kikyo was cuter much cuter." ?
This slightly irks Kagome, but she lets it go because he is not her type. The centipede sneaks up, and attacks her ripping her side open. Out comes the jewel. Her, and the jewel land on the ground. While the two of them are talking the centipede comes in for another attack. Kagome sees this, forms a snowball in her hand, and throws it at the centipede freezing it solid. Then Kagome picks up a large stone, throws it at the demon, which shatters on impact. The boy looks at her with shock written on his face. When he recovers he says.
"You. You're not human. What are you some type of demon?" ?
"I'm not a demon. I'm an elemental stupid." Kagome
"I was just asking Geez. You don't have to be so sensitive. Say do you think you could pull out this arrow?" ?
"Neigh child. Once the arrow is removed then InuYasha will be free to destroy us all." Kaede
"Shut up you old hag. So what do you say?" InuYasha
"I don't see why not." Kagome
Kagome removes the arrow, InuYasha frees himself from the tree, and says.
"You should have listened to the old crone they tend to know things. Now hand over the sacred jewel, and I won't have to sharpen my claws on you." InuYasha
"Pay no heed to InuYasha child" Kaede
"I hate having to wait, and I hate the smell of you." InuYasha
InuYasha charges at Kagome, and she starts to run. Tripping over a bone causing InuYasha to miss. The attempt makes Kagome mad. Kagome says.
"You really tried to hit me didn't you." Kagome
The villagers tried to defend Kagome, InuYasha demonstrates his strength making the villagers cower, and Kaede says.
"Some how I always knew it would come down to this." Kaede
While she removes a rosary from her kimono. She prays over the beads, they surround InuYasha's neck, and Kaede says.
"Quickly child the word of subjugation." Kaede
"Word what word?" Kagome
"It matters not your word has power to hold his spirit." Kaede
Kagome remembers something her father told her. Now Kagome what do you say when a dog is being bad? You say Sit boy in a very stern voice.
"How can you over power me when you can't sit up." InuYasha
InuYasha tries to take the jewel, and Kagome says.
"A word to hold his spirit. Oh I know Sit boy." Kagome
She says the word a few times, and InuYasha tries to take the rosary off failing miserably. Kaede says.
"I'm sorry InuYasha, but even you lack the power to remove it." Kaede
"We'll see about that. I'd come up there, and finish you off if you didn't look half dead already." InuYasha
"The word please." Kaede
"Sit boy." Kagome
InuYasha falls through the bridge into the river, and gets swept away. Kagome looks over the edge of the bridge while Kaede says.
"Shall we go home?" Kaede
"Yes I should be going home. Thanks for everything Kaede." Kagome
Before Kaede has a chance to respond Kagome begins heading in the direction of the well. Along the way she got in quite the tangle with those who seek the sacred jewel. In the process she went home, introduced InuYasha to her father, and retrieved her bow from Mother Nature. Kagome now finds herself in the past for awhile.
Kagome now finds herself staying with Kaede. A flea comes to visit InuYasha, and tells him that some one wishes to raid his fathers tomb. The conversation is quite weighty, and results in InuYasha squishing Myoga, and leaving the house. Kagome figures out why he stormed out, and it makes her angry that he dislikes his mother just because she was human. She follows him with the mind to sit him till he loses consciousness, however seeing how dejected he is she just doesn't have the heart to do so. An imp, and his master show up with a fake stand in for InuYasha's mom. Kagome can tell that his brother has nothing do with this, because the imp's scheme is utterly beneath him. When InuYasha looks like he is about ready to believe him Kagome walks up to InuYasha, and says.
