Welcome! And guess what?
I'm jumping on the 'Kagome has a sibling' bandwagon! Thought I'd give it a go.
SUMMARY: What if Kagome had an older sister? One who left to gain control over her immense spiritual powers? She returns home to find out that her little sister has awoken her own spiritual powers. How will Big sister react to the fact that her little sister is now a time traveling Miko?
Also, she will look like Momiji off Ninja Gaiden only with raven black hair and ice blue eyes, she will also have the Purifying Flame: Momiji's default outfit only with a bandaged wrap to hide her chest from wondering eyes and minus the necklace Momiji wears. She will wear this when she goes to the feudal era.
I do NOT own Inuyasha or Ninja Gaiden! I only own my Ocs and story idea!
Off we go!
CHAPTER 1: My Sister! The Dragon Maiden.
MODERN DAY JAPAN
LOCATION: MT. FUJI
All was quiet at as many animals moved around doing their business while some tourists explored the area. Making the area seem like any other tourist attraction right? Wrong, for , had a hidden Shrine build upon it in.
A shrine that was only used by people who were spiritually aware, among those being Monks, Priests, Priestesses and the most powerful of all the Dragon Maidens.
Now you lot might be asking what a Dragon Maiden is? Right? Well, a dragon maiden is a Miko or Priestesses who has high amounts of spiritual energy and power. They train for years to master their powers and learn the way of the dragons of their honor and respect as well as their power to both protect and destroy.
A dragon maiden is rare, though, only a few can be born each generation yet even that possibility is low due to the lack of spiritual energy in the modern world.
The shrine is known as the Kami No Ryū Shrine and this is the place where high-ranking Monks and Priestesses keep the peace and if need be keep an eye out for any powerful spiritual child that is born. It was common practice to find the spiritual aware child and train them so their powers would not go out of control and harm others.
It is also the shrine where our story begins.
KAMI NO RYI SHRINE
SACRED CHAMBER
Deep inside the shrine lay an underground cave that had been built into a sacred ritual chamber, in the middle of the room was a platform that had four pathways branching off it and surrounded by water that had sakura petals scattered all over it. The walls were lined with carvings of old and told many stories, near the front of the chamber was a stage where the high Priest, Monk or Priestesses would stand during the ceremony of passage.
The Ceremony of Passage was only used when an In-training Priestesses was ready to be given the title of Dragon Maiden.
It was also in the chamber where a young woman stood on the center platform, she looked to be around 20-years-old with long raven black hair that reached her lower waist. Her skin was smooth and slightly tanned from being out in the sun, her body was toned and showed that she has done a lot of training over the corse of her life with a firm toned waist and a thin layer of muscle covering her body that gave her a deadly feminine edge. She stood still wearing a red hakama and a white haori.
Her ice blue eyes then snap open as an elder priestess the current shrine head stepped forward from the shadows, her name was Sakura Uzumaki.
She had gray hair held in a braid and dark brown eyes that held wisdom in them, she had on a dark red haori that had a golden dragon stitched along the right sleeve with white hakama pants and black sandals.
She watched the young woman before her with a small smile of pride before going serious.
"Young one, you know why you are here," Sakura said as the young woman nods.
"I do," She said her voice smooth and held respect for Sakura as she looked up at the elder.
"Today, you shall be judged to see if you are ready to earn the title of Dragon Maiden," Sakura said as the 70-year-old woman stood tall with her own spiritual power leaking from her skin.
"Let your power be felt by this sacred chamber young one! Let it roar with the dragons of old!" Sakura then yelled as her power fill the room with a bright magenta glow.
The young woman nods as she let the right grasp on her power go, a bright blue glow filled the room as the young woman's spiritual energy and power came to life making the room dance with blue and magenta lights.
Sakura smiles as she felt something behind her flare to life. 'She is the one,' Sakura thought as the carvings on the wall glowed making the spiritual energy dance around the room.
The energy then took the form of a huge white Eastern dragon made from pure spiritual energy, it stood before the young woman staring directly into her eyes as it judged her soul if she was not worthy he soul would be sent to limbo and burnt by dragon hellfire for a 100 years, dragons are very picky about who they deem worthy.
The woman kept her eyes locked onto the dragon never once blinking as she matched the dragons stare with her own, never showing fear or nervousness before the mighty beast.
The dragon then growled as if pleased by something before lifting its head and roaring to the heavens, it then dispersed back into energy and flowed into the young woman who started to glow white.
"The dragon has accepted you, your will of strength and determination has shown the dragon you are worthy to be a Dragon Maiden," Sakura said as she pulled her power back into her body.
The young woman did the same as her eyes glowed with power, which soon fades to show her now slightly slitted pupils, she took a deep breath before giving a bow to Sakura.
"It is a great honor Lady Sakura, I feel more at peace now," The young maiden said as she stood straight.
"You have earned your title this day Hitomi Higurashi, you have trained for many years to reach this level," Sakura said as she motioned for Hitomi to follow her.
Hitomi nods as she took a few spiritual power enhanced jumps to reach the stage before landing softly next to her mentor.
"This way, I have something to give you my dear," Sakura said as she turned and lead her young apprentice to the room behind the chamber.
Said room was decorated with red walls and golden designs all related to dragons etched into the wall while in the center of the room was a pedestal that was red in color with golden trim. On the pedestal was a sword that was held in a black scabbard with gold at four points along it, the handle of the blade was wrapped in red with the hilt of the sword being golden bronze in color. (Ninja Gaiden, Ryu's Dragon sword)
Hitomi let a small gasp escape her lips as she looked the blade over, "This is," She said before cutting herself off as she looked at her mentor.
"Kami No Tsume, the Divine Claw blade, said to have been made from the fang of a holy dragon and passed down from generation to generation of Dragon maidens," Sakura said as she walked over and carefully picked the blade up from its pedestal.
She then turned to Hitomi with a small smile on her face, "I have guarded this blade like many before me, waiting until its owner was found and you, Hitomi, are that owner, during your test Kami No Tsume reacted to your power and will of heart"
"Me? Are you sure Lady Sakura?" Hitomi asked while looking at the sword.
Sakura nods saying "Yes, I'm sure, never in my long life have I felt Kami No Tsume react like it did today, this sword is rightfully yours and any future children or students you take"
Hitomi gulps as she took a deep breath before reaching out and taking the sword from her mentors grasp, the moment her hand touched the handle of the blade a pulse hit Hitomi's body making her gasp as her power reacted and bonded to the sword as it glows white.
"The sword as accepted you as its master, look after it Hitomi and the sword will look after you in return," Sakura said with a proud smile on her lips and proud eyes.
"Kami No Tsume, I will treat you with the respect you deserve as both my sword and partner," Hitomi said as the sword stops glowing and gave a single shake before going still.
"Now, onto the last part of the ceremony, you must have a summoning tattoo placed on your back and the back of your right hand," Sakura said as she went over to a sitting area where a table stood with a few pillows to kneel on.
On the table was a bowl of blessed ink and a metal senbon needle, this made Hitomi nod as she walked over and took her seat facing Sakura while placing her right hand on the table while placing Kami No Tsume next to her.
Sakura nods as she sat on her knees and picked up the senbon needle, "Let your powers run through your body Hitomi, let them guide the ink, let your powers bond with the ink and then turn it into a summoning seal using your mind and will"
Hitomi nods as Sakura dipped the needle into the ink bowl watching as the needle glows white and absorbed the ink turning half of the needle black, the elder maiden then moves and without breaking her stride she pierced the middle of Hitomi's right hand. This made Hitomi wince as she focused on control her power while also focusing on the ink now moving under her skin.
'Focus Hitomi, a summoning seal is only as big as you will it to be!' Hitomi thought as she closed her eyes and began to shape the seal into the way she wanted.
Her hand glows as the ink shifted and changed under the skin to many it would be painful and feel like your skin was burning from the inside out. But to Hitomi, it was like having a moving warmth under her hands that comforted her.
Soon the ink settled down and stopped glowing as Hitomi relaxed, flexing her hand she looked at the symbol now resting on her hand. It was a curled up dragon almost in the shape of an 'e'. (Looks like the Dragon Rider Symbol the one that looks like blue flames.)
"Well done Hitomi but we are not done yet," Sakura said as she placed the needle back into the bowl but this time it absorbed all of the ink turning the needle black.
"Take off your Haori and face your back to me, dear, this needs to be placed between your shoulder blades" Sakura instructed.
Hitomi did so and braced herself as she felt the needle pierce her skin and the ink flow into it, she winced slightly as her powers quickly bonded with the ink making it move and shift. She focused and repeated the processes of turning the ink into a summoning seal, it glowed and soon changed into the same symbol that rested on her hand.
"It is done, you have completed your seals and can now store any item of your choice inside them," Sakura said as Hitomi placed her Haori back on.
"Thank you, Lady Sakura," Hitomi said as she turned back to her mentor.
"Please, call me Sakura my dear, after today I am no longer your mentor, Dragon Maiden Hitomi," Sakura said with a smile that one would find on a loving grandmother.
Hitomi smiles saying "Right, Sakura"
The elder maiden chuckles as she stood up saying "Come, now it is time for you to choose your new clothing as a dragon maiden you will wear clothing vastly different from a normal Miko clothing"
Hitomi nods as she stood up and followed her mentor/grandmother figure out of the ceremonial room and chamber and to the shrine above.
HOUR LATER
Hitomi sighs as she tugged at her top, she had recently changed into her new outfit which she liked but she had added a bandage wrap to keep her modesty and to hide said chest from wondering eyes. (For her outfit, she wears Purifying Flame: Momiji's default outfit only with a bandaged wrap to hide her chest from wondering eyes.)
"I can't believe I became a Dragon maiden, it all feels like a dream," Hitomi said as she stood in the stables her sword resting on her back at the moment.
Beside her stood her friend and Miko companion Yukikaze a Shikigami who was a servant/protector of the shrine until he bonded with Hitomi and became her companion. (Yukikaze off Tokyo Ravens)
Said horse nuzzles his mistress and friend as if to say 'It's no dream!'
Hitomi chuckles saying "Your right, I'm just a bit excited I guess and a little sad as well, now that my training has been completed I get to go home"
She then looked out of the stable, "It's been so long since I last went home, feels like years I wonder how big my little siblings are now? I must have missed a lot of birthdays"
Hitomi then shook her head before going over to the front of the stable where her traveling bag rested with her stuff inside, she picked the bag up and double checked inside before going back over to Yukikaze and placing the bag on his saddle.
"Let's get you outside, best to warm your legs up before we set off for home," Hitomi said as she took her horse friends reigns and lead him outside.
"I see you're ready to go," Sakura said as she walked over.
Hitomi turns to her old mentor with a nod saying "It's time for me to leave, Sakura, thank you for all you've done for me"
Sakura nods saying "It has been my honor to teach you, Hitomi if you ever need help with anything I will be here to lend a hand,"
The young maiden nods as she moved and gently pulled Sakura into a hug, like a granddaughter bidding her grandmother goodbye.
"I promise if I run into any problems, stay safe and healthy," Hitomi said as she let go and turned to her horse friend.
She quickly mounted him and took his reigns saying "I'll try and bring my family here one day, I'm sure they would love to meet my honorary grandmother"
She smiled before yelling "Let's go! Yukikaze!"
Yukikaze neighed before taking off in a run and into the air as Hitomi used her powers to hide them from view, down below Sakura smiles as she waved the young maiden goodbye.
"Do me proud Hitomi, your adventure, and future is truly about to begin," Sakura said as her eyes glowed white with a smile resting on her lips.
The elder maiden soon turned around and went into the shrine as the young maiden in the sky started her journey home.
TOKYO
HIGURASHI SHRINE
It was nighttime at the Higurashi shrine with Iris Higurashi mother to Hitomi, Kagome, and Sota. She was doing some last minute brushing up while Kagome was inside with Grandpa and Sota eating dessert, she smiled while thinking of her family.
"It's been a while since I've seen that smile," A voice said making Iris jump.
Looking around the mother tried to find the voice only to see no one around the shrine, "Up here! Mama!" The voice said again.
Iris gasped looking up only to cover her mouth in both shock and happiness, there sitting on a flying horse was her eldest child.
"Hitomi! Your home!" Iris yelled as she dropped her broom while running over to her daughter as she landed on the ground.
Hitomi got off her horse friend and caught her mother in a hug while her horse friend moved to sit on the ground to take a rest from the long journey.
"I'm here to stay this time, Mama," Hitomi said as she pulled back from her mother.
"Really? Does this mean?" Mama asked as she watched her daughter turn and go over to her horse and pick up a travel bag.
"Yes, I've become a dragon maiden," Hitomi said as she placed a hand on YukiKaze making him glow before sending him to the summoning realm for Shikigam, ready to be summoned once more.
"This is wonderful! I'm so proud of you" Mama said making Hitomi blush at the praise.
"Thanks, Mama, how has everyone been since my last visit?" Hitomi said as she walked to her mother's side who started to lead her towards the house.
"There is a lot to tell you dear but you might want to sit down for it," Mama said as they entered the house.
HOUR LATER
"So, let me get this straight" Hitomi said as she sat before her family on the couch.
"Kagome got dragged into the past through the Bone eaters well? 500 years into the past?" She asked while looking at Kagome.
The little sister nods saying "Yeah, I had a hard time believing it myself"
"Right, while in the past you met an old priestess Kaede and a half-demon called...Inuyasha? Correct?" Hitomi asked getting a nod from Kagome.
"You also found out you had the Shikon No Tama inside you and you ended up shattering it trying to stop a crow demon" Hitomi said.
Once more she got a nod from Kagome.
"Now your on a quest to gather the Jewel shards with Inuyasha, a fox demon named Shippo and a monk? Miroku was it?" She asked as Kagome nods with a smile.
"Yeah, we have a big chunk of the Jewel so far" Kagome said holding up the chunk for her to see.
Hitomi leaned over with interest to look at it seeing the pink glow around the shard, she could feel power coming from it but for some reason it made her crawl.
"Just keep it away from me, it's making my skin crawl" Hitomi said as she leaned back. That Jewel just felt wrong to her.
"Okay, there also one more thing" Kagome said as she told her big sister about Kikyo and Naraku.
"I see, if I ever see this Kikyo I'm clobbering her one for hurting you, no one hurts my little sister like that! Also this Naraku, well, he's just bad news all around" Hitomi said with crossed arms.
After a few seconds she stood up saying "Well, that settles it! I'm getting packed up" Hitmoi said with a smile.
"Huh?" Kagome said as she stood up.
"I'm going back with you, you'll need all the help you can get to take on Naraku and goodness knows my powers will be more useful in the past then in this time, also if Naraku gets the Jewel I'm pretty sure out future will go down the drain" Hitomi said as she turned and went over to the stairs.
"You sure?" Mama asked looking a little worried but a look of understanding was in her face.
"I'm sure, I've got a sibling to protect after all" Hitomi said as she smiled at her family before going up stairs to pack.
NEXT DAY
"You ready sis?" Kagome asked as she stood on the Well's edge with her big sister.
Hitomi nods as she placed a pair of senbon needles in her hair hiding them from view, she had other weapons hidden away.
"Ready, also Kagome," Hitomi said while looking down the Well.
"Yeah?" Kagome asked.
"Once in the past I'll be helping you train your Miko powers, I won't go easy on you though," Hitomi said as she glanced at her sibling.
Kagome gulps before nodding, it was for her own good in the long run besides she would be able to help out in battle more.
"I'll give it my all!" Kagome said as Hitomi nods.
"Good to hear, now then! To the past we go!" Hitomi yelled as Kagome chuckled.
With a grin on their faces the two sisters jumped into the Well with blue lights surrounding them, Hitmoni felt excitement rise up in her.
This was going to be an awesome adventure!
Done! In the next chapter, Hitomi meets the gang and ends up facing a lot of demons!
