Fairly Odd Demon

by: Season Of Magic

{-}

It is a known fact in the magical world that a child gets a fairy godparent or godparents when his/her life is so tragic and sad that these beings are called in to make the living of said human child better and tolerable for them.

There are other magical beings out there too, some who have no choice but to intervene in the lives of others when things get too out hand or something.

Children believe in the magic that is thought to be simple fairy tales by adults whom not so long ago once had a partner to help them move along their lives and make it a tad bit happier.

Adults rarely see what a child can which is why only children are entitled to such said magical creatures but often exceptions do tend to occur.

Sometimes when children become teens and move into adulthood they still believe in the magic that lies all around. It rarely happens but when it does a exception is made and a trial is held.

If the teen was a good child and it is known that they treated their magical partner with respect the fairy, demon, or whatever creature it is gets to keep the job and the teen will stay with their guardian as long as they wish for and only do selfless things. Once they lose sight of their belief in the supernatural, the privilege is taken away, no matter how good the child has been.

What if a child never had the need for a magical companion but they still believed as they were growing up? And what if it was after they grew up that they needed the assistance and guidance of a magical being?

This definitely sounds like quite a big exception and this here is actually the tale of such said exception that occurred.

Let's go into the life of the half demon Inuyasha Taisho to see how his life changed when after five hundred years of not doing much at all around the demon world he finally got a charge, and this is not your typical child either.

Inuyasha;

I know you have not had work in over five centuries. You should be a little rusty in the field but I trust you and this is your chance to prove you can actually do something other than stay cooped up inside all day long.

In the package attached to this letter I send to you a case that should be easy for you all on its own once you see its content.

A ticket is attached to this letter and your ride to the human world will depart tomorrow morning, so you have until then to get your things packed and ready.

If you do want to take the case and you accept, your charge will be Kagome Higurashi.

She is a seventeen year old whom has recently lost her grandfather and has fallen into a deep depression.

I know our division does not handle these types of cases but we all make exceptions and considering how long you were on break I think that this case could be one that is best fitted for you.

I know you will not let me or the demon world down. I wish you the best and we all expect great things from you.

Kaede

He was currently in a plane that would take him to the human world and had been re-reading the letter that had been sent to him yesterday.

He was still in shock and could not believe that he was sent on a mission to act as the protector and guardian for a seventeen year old.

What kind of exception had Kaede been talking about when she had thrown this at him?

He had not looked into the package yet and he was glad to finally have a job after so long so the only thing he could do was sit tight and wait until the airplane landed in six hours. He'd open it later.

He was grateful demon world time and earth time correlated and instantly got adjusted to the time zone where the passengers were going.

He did know that this Kagome Higurashi person lived in Japan and he should get there by four or five in the afternoon because the plane had taken off at eleven in the morning.

As he walked out the airport holding the luggage and pulling the cap as tight and down as he could he felt a tap on his shoulders

"Inuyasha is that really you?"

He grinned as he went and hugged the fairy he hadn't seen in years.

"Sango! What are you doing here? I thought you were still back in the fairy world."

Sango and he were good friends. Their friendship dated back centuries and they had met when their career had only started and before long they had to separate and go into other directions. His life was spent in the demon world, and last he had heard from her she was being sent to the fairy world. What had happened to make her end up here in the human world?

Her talking brought him back from his thoughts.

"I was but I got transferred from divisions again. I now help the demons whom come on missions like you by finding them a place to stay and things like that. I also work at another place but you'll learn about it soon enough." she said smiling

So she was stuck in the human world then. He might as well take advantage of the situation. Not that he wasn't happy to see her, of course he was it's just that being in the human world by himself seemed like a nightmare to him so now that he found someone he at least knew he was a very happy Inuyasha.

He sighed in relief as he linked his arms through hers. "I guess I should be grateful you'll be my escort then. I missed you buddy."

Sango laughed. "It's been two hundred years and you still haven't lost your charm I see. Alright pal let's get going we have a lot to talk about before you begin your mission because knowing how you are its certain you haven't even touched the package you received." She said as she looked around then when there were few people left she took out her wand and waved it.

In what was less than an instant, they were gone.

"What do you mean I'm not supposed to tell her I'm her demon/fairy godparent?" Inuyasha said with his arms crossed as he sat down in one of the couches that are in the apartment he'll be living on while he was here on Earth.

"At the state she is in right now Kagome's not ready to handle this type of news." Sango said.

Inuyasha scoffed. "Of course not. She's at the stage where she should believe we're all made up fairy tales by now."

"It's a sensitive topic Inuyasha. As a child she believed, even years after the age she was supposed to outgrow them she believed but now with the death of her grandfather..."

"Spare me the details. Every sob story begins somewhere." He said and Sango threw him one of the pillows from the couch. "Ow alright I won't tell her anything."

"I didn't mean it like that by the way. You can tell her who you are, but all in due time." Santo stated. "If I were you I'd start reading and looking through the contents inside the box." She said as she went and searched through the closet then came out holding a uniform. "This is yours. You begin school tomorrow."

"School, what are you talking about?"

Sango passed him the uniform and pointed to the box. "Look through it and you will see what I mean. I have to go now but I'll come pick you up tomorrow. You better be ready by seven." she said and then used her wand to poof out leaving him alone to his thoughts.

Without nothing to do except unpack he might as well open the box and get this over with already.

He used his magic and the box flew open scattering pictures and papers all over the floor.

With another flick of his fingers the papers flew towards the couch where they stacked themselves neatly and organized into little piles.

A piece of paper remained on the floor and he picked it up and inspected it only to find out it was really was another letter from Kaede.

Inuyasha;

Knowing how you are by the time you are reading this you'll most likely be in Earth without any clue as to what your mission really is.

You haven't looked through the content yet have you?

Yes, your charge really is a seventeen year old girl named Kagome.

I assume you've already met with Sango and she did not tell you much about your case. I specifically told her not to so that way you have no choice but to open the box.

You might be wondering why your mission is a teen and the truth is I'm not really all that sure why either.

All I know is she's seventeen and she has been passing through some rough times in her life lately.

What I could acquire from her records says she had a pretty normal childhood except for a few things here and there.

She's a special case because even though she should have stopped believing in our kind when she was eleven, she never really did. She's always believed in our existence but Kagome never required our intervention in her life.

So what went wrong? Her grandfather recently passed away which brings us to why you're here. With the death of her grandfather she has gone into a state of depression and really needs our help.

My studies indicate that If she would have had a guardian by her side during her childhood she would not be in the condition that she is at right now and she would have been able to keep him/her even though she will be eighteen soon.

Your mission will be undercover for the most part so I had Shippo design you a concealment bracelet.

You will stay by Kagome's side as a human and for that you have to go to her school. I had Sango enroll you a few weeks ago so everything should be finished and in order by now.

If by her eighteenth birthday you don't get her to cheer up and fully believe in magic again, the results will end catastrophic.

Kagome, not only is she an exception, she is one of us.

Kagome Higurashi is a miko.
