There were many secrets that revolved around one Kagome Higurashi.
Her adventures in the past was one of them.
However, there were others too.
Her intelligence was much higher than she made it out to be, when she was younger she was classified as a genius by most, she started to hide it as she grew older though, as it would attract too much attention upon herself.
Another was who her father was, her mother had told her on her 16th birthday, which had been 6 days ago, it was also the day that her mother had admitted another secret.
Her name wasn't Kagome Higurashi.
Her real name had to be hidden, like the proof of her biological father.
It would have caused a big problem, for her and her family.
Of course, life just could never be easy for her, could it?
Kagome sighed, taking a sip of the sweet drink she had bought with her to the Feudal Era, Inuyasha was arguing with Sesshomaru again, it had been like that every day since Sesshomaru had joined up with them to defeat Naraku. At the moment, however it was more like Sesshomaru was ignoring Inuyasha as he threatened him.
"Inuyasha, would you be so kind as to shut the hole you call a mouth? It is causing a disturbance." Kagome quipped at the hanyou as she sat in her awkward crouching position, she had been thinking a lot lately, about what would happen once they encountered Naraku, she knew they needed a plan.
"Keh, wench, who died and put you in charge?" He sneered at her.
"No-one, but there is the possibility that we might not want a headache; caused by yourself if I may add, in-case Naraku turned up." She calmly responded, flicking her coal coloured eyes over to him, she had worn brown contacts in her previous years to make herself fit in with her family more, but had decided against it half way into her adventures, as it took a while to get them in when she woke up, especially when there was no mirror to help her, once she got back to her own era for good, she would continue to wear them once more. Although she had to explain to her friends just why her eyes had suddenly changed colours.
"This Sesshomaru agrees with the miko." The dog-eared boy just scoffed and jumped up into the trees, ignoring everything around him, but still looking out for any sign of the spider hanyou.
"So, what are you thinking, Kagome?" Sango asked as she came and sat beside her sister in all but blood, she knew that when Kagome was sat how she was, it normally meant she was thinking something, normally very intelligent. She had only done this whilst they were having a bath.
"Ah, I'm just trying to come up with a good plan on defeating Naraku once he shows his face again." Kagome sighed, the calculations were all getting jumbled up together, however she had picked out one beforehand that had the most promising outcome. "But Inuyasha isn't going to like it…" She mumbled to herself, sitting back with her legs crossed to show she was done with thinking.
"Inuyasha isn't going to like what?" Sango asked her.
"My plan." Was all she muttered. Before getting started on the day's breakfast.
Kagome sighed, as she ran into the trees, she had told everyone her idea, which they had all agreed on, apart from Inuyasha, as she had expected.
3 days later had that plan put into action, Sango, Sesshomaru and herself dashed into the woods, waiting for the time to strike, Shippo and Rin were back at Kaede's village, the others were giving Naraku and his incarnations a fight to remember.
Peering from the treetops, Kagome watched as Inuyasha let out a wind-scar, severing many of the spider hanyou's tentacles.
Seeing her time to strike, Kagome got ready. Notching an arrow into her bow, she took aim, noticing that Sango and Sesshomaru were in their places, with their weapons poised to strike down the evil creature in front of them.
All at once, their attacks launched.
Naraku never saw it coming and at once, he was killed, purified by the blast of her arrow and the force of the other two attacks.
Nibbling her thumb in nervousness, she wondered if that was really it. Kagome skilfully climbed down the tree and walked towards the pile of ash on the floor, digging her forefinger and her thumb in, she pulled out half of the Shikon no Tama.
Pulling out their own half, she fused it together.
Finally, after about a year and a month, it was completed.
Her adventure was over, and she was free to go home.
What she didn't know however, was the new adventure awaiting her.
Kagome pulled herself over the lip of the well, she heard voices that she didn't know outside of the well house, so she dug into the front pocket of her bag and pulled out her contacts, better safe than sorry.
Leaving her bag in the well house, she casually made her way in front of the small group, deciding to get her mother's attention by stating something so that she wouldn't seem suspicious.
"There's nothing in the well house, Mama, Souta was just being paranoid." She made gestures with her hands to make it seem bigger than it already was.
"Oh, Kagome, you I was wondering where you had gone off to, you should know not to listen to your brother when it comes to that building."
"I would have ignored it, but he insisted that I go take a look." She then preceded to mutter under her breath to convince the newcomers that it was the only reason she was in there. "He's such a scaredy cat."
"Ah, Ms. Higurashi, who is this young girl?" The younger one asked her mother. Kagome did a quick look over him, blinking for added effect. She realised quickly, that he looked a lot like her when she wasn't hiding anything about her, however she wouldn't let him know that.
"Mama, why is there a strange looking man here?"
Sighing, the older woman realised that she had to introduce them.
"Ah, Kagome, this is Ryuzaki-san" She started. "Ryuzaki-san, this is Kagome, my daughter."
"It is very nice to meet you, Ryuzaki-san." She spoke carefully, bowing to the man in the traditional way of the Japanese.
"You as well." He bowed back.
There was one thing that she knew now.
Her life was going to continue to be interesting after all.
