Intro and Heartache

0o0

Kagome Higurashi was unlike your average sixteen-year-old girl. She was born with inherited powers of a priestess. Her grandmother was Midriko Higurashi, one of the greatest and strongest priestess' Japan ever possessed. She lived a long life, though she died before Kagome could really know her. Though while she was alive, she, through Kagome's mother Aoi's request, sealed her powers deep within the chassis of Kagome's soul. Madoki, Kagome's father, protested this, wanting Kagome to embrace her destiny of surpassing Midriko and securing her legacy. Aoi wanted Kagome to have normal life, knowing that if youkai knew Midriko had a descendant, they'd no doubt come after her. Midriko understood and complied with having her powers and her identity concealed.

On the eve of Midriko's death however, she received a premonition…that the 'great evil' will break out of his seal during Kagome's time, and she knew she would not be alive to kill him for good. She agreed to Aoi that she'd conceal Kagome's powers, but should the 'great evil' break out of his seal, she must give Kagome the parchment to unlocking her true powers and she must indeed fulfill her fateful task of re-sealing him. She made Aoi promise this to her and within two days Midriko passed away. Aoi would keep that promise, but always made a secret prayer that her premonition would not come true.

Kagome grew up happily. She was like any teen on the surface: bubbly, out spoken, and mostly…naive. She called it being a hopeless romantic. She dreamed of her white knight of a guy. Handsome, charming, well groomed, and mannered, ah yes, a naive soul she was. She was nearly clueless about sex, and would turn red at the sound of any type of sexual vulgarity. Her innocence and high level of the naive was hilarious to most of her peers, but it didn't stop her from being her. She could be headstrong at times as well; she thanks her younger brother for that.

Living in a world of co-existing with youkai was something she was use to, although descendants of youkai exterminators were beyond appalled, her father was included. He hated youkai and thought all should be damned to hell for good. Her mother on the other hand just feared them. They couldn't just kill humans as they use to; they'd get purified, which meant death to them, if they killed each other, it was fine. No point of humans getting in the middle of arguments between youkai was the basic thought of many. Most youkai kept away from human, while some, like most humans, complied and even mixed with humans. Hanyou's…beings of half-human, and half youkai, were so common as well. Kagome lived in East Lake; not huge populations of youkai were here, though on the southern half of Tokyo, they were everywhere.

Never the less, Kagome lived fine. Madoki died in a fatal car crash when she was ten, so now it's just her, her brother Souta, her mom, and her grandfather. Her mother was working hard to support them. Unfortunately, Kagome's life would ultimately sing a completely different tune. One day while at work, Aoi was called into her boss' office.

"Miss Higurashi? Please sit down." Aoi sat nervously in her seat, hoping her boss had good news. Though something inside her said it wouldn't be.

"As you know, the company has gotten real tight with workers, this economy isn't what it use to be…but I must be frank. You will no longer be needed here." Her heart sank. What would happen to her father? Souta? Kagome? As her head filled with worst case scenarios, her attention was lifted.

"But…I will help you. My older brother is looking for a permanent full time secretary, I recommended you for the job."

"Ms. Tawka, I cannot thank you enough." Tears welled up inside.

"I'm not done. His company resides in South Side. You would have to relocate your family. But I assume that's a change you will make?"

"Yes ma'am. I would be a fool to turn down this gracious offer. I will move immediately." Though her mind was telling her to be more hesitant.

"Good. You are scheduled to start working there next week. Here is the paperwork you will need. You will receive your last check promptly, so you will have the funds for the move."

"Thank you. Thank you so much!" Ms. Higurashi knew South Side was heavily populated with youkai. She feared for Kagome. What if this is the start to the prophecy? What if this is when her powers are needed there? Aoi was happy she had a job…but she her insides were in a state of panic about Kagome's well being.

"You are welcome. Workers like you are far and in between. I'd keep you if I could afford you. But I must stress you cannot tell anyone about this. Everyone will flood my office trying to have what you have. I'm not a personal job seeker."

"My lips are sealed shut." Aoi nodded and left the room. South Side was the beginning of Midriko's premonition and even if Aoi didn't have an ounce of power in her blood, she'd have to be a fool not to trust her intuition.

'Please…please let Kagome remain a happy child. I don't want her to face…him. Please…stay sealed. Please keep her safe in South Side.' She thought with prayer in her car.

Teens yelled and jeered, as it was a close of another day at East Lake High. Some were staying after for activities, others were just soliciting. Kagome stood outside the entrance gates with her youkai friend Kagura Surato. She was waiting for her crush Kyo Jakei, she then decided to tell Kagura why they were standing there.

"I'm going to give Kyo a love letter!" Kagome blushed at her admittance; Kagura turned to her with an incredulous look.

"A love letter? Seriously? How fucking old are you? We are juniors in high school. We'll graduate next spring for crying out loud!" Kagura would always try to wise the girl up when it comes to talking to boys but no, she watches teen drama shows and assumes THAT'S how everything MUST work! It was like Kagome wanted the typical teen angst romance.

"I can't help it! I tried talking to Kyo, but something always stops me! So, I'll write him a letter confessing my love, and demand he accepts it!" Kagome shook her fist in the air.

"Well…hurry up. I'm burning my ass off out here. Plus, I don't hang around after school hours." Kagura scoffed at Kagome, but did a small a grin. Sometimes, her innocence was truly adorable. Maddening at times, but adorable none the less.

Kagome's heart raced as she saw Kyo and his friends walk out the gym. He was gorgeous to Kagome. Dark hair, dashing smile, and was not conceited; that was the biggest turn on. As he got closer, he noticed her and Kagura standing near the school gates.

"Yo Higurashi! Surato!" He grinned, "You chicks waiting for a ride?"

"No. Kags, I'll meet you across the street." She rolled her eyes, not wanting to see the fiasco that was begging to happen. Unbeknown to her, it'd be worse than she thought.

"Hehe. Um. Kyo…I have something to give you." She blushed and stared at the paper in her hands. She was now battling whether not she should go through with giving it to him.

"Well…what is it?" he arched his eyebrows and tapped his foot in impatience. She stretched her hand out to him. "Please read!" she cried. He turned and winked at his friends as he got the note.

"Well, what's this Higurashi? A LOVE note?" his friends giggled as they drew in closer. Kagome's face burned. "…Could you tell your friends to give us privacy?"

"Nah, I want them to hear the note too!" he laughed as he read the note word for word. Kagome was so embarrassed; they laughed with each emotional word she wrote.

"God, you sounded like a stalker!" laughed Kyo. Kagura was enraged in the site and came to Kagome's aid. Throwing her self in front of her, Kagura yelled, "Kyo! How DARE you mock a woman's most sincere emotions!" her red eyes burned with fury, "Fuujin no Mai!" she hurled her weakest wind attack at the boys, sending them hurling into a nearby bush. Closing her fan, she grabbed Kagome's hand.

"Let's go!" she pulled the now crying Kagome away from the scene. Never in her life had she felt so stupid. Kagura stopped once they turned the empty corner to her house.

"Kagome! Please stop crying!" she pulled her into a tight hug, which made Kagome cry even harder.

"Kagura…I…he…laughed at me," she gasped for air, "he LAUGHED at me!" she continued to sob into her chest. "Kagome, he was a dumb ass…but he was clever at hiding it. But I always tell you that---."

"Not all gentlemen are really genuine. I know…I was setting my self up huh?" Kagome sniffed.

"No! It would've happened to anyone." Kagome stepped away from her. "No it wouldn't! Because they're not as stupid and naive as I am! Go on! Admit it!" Kagura gripped her hands.

"Kagome! You are fine the way you are! I never tried to change you, but I tried to advise you. Your innocence is completely fine. Kyo is a deceitful snake that deserves karma. No man like that deserves you!"

Kagome smiled weakly. Kagura was her backbone. She'd never survive what just happened if it wasn't for her.

"Let's go home." Kagome sniffed once more and held Kagura's hand.

That prick! Oh yeah Fuujin no Mai: Attack of the Wind Blades
