That comment struck a nerve in the hanyou that made him lose his mouth."At least she wouldn't have to constantly be protected like you! Ya can't even defend yourself, let alone other people! AND YOUR RIGHT I SHOULD GET HER TO DO IT CAUSE YOU'RE JUST PLAIN USELESS! NOT ONLY THAT YOU'RE WORTHLESS! CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT YOU SUCK AT EVERYTHING YOU DO! SO JUST GO ON HOME AND NEVER COME BACK, NO ONE HERE CARES FOR YOU ANYWAY! STUPID WENCH!" He replied.
Kagome was now so upset she couldn't stop the tears from falling. She ran to the well and jumped. When Kagome landed on the other side she sealed the well, that way no one could come or go until she was ready. She sat at the bottom of the well and cried her heart out. Then stood and wiped her eyes, climbing from the well. Kagome left her feelings for Inuyasha behind and buried.
3 months later
Inuyasha had been shunned by the others when they heard him say those awful things to Kagome. So he went into his forest and didn't come out. But they knew where he was. He was at the Goshinboku. Shippou had never gone more than ten feet from the well since Kagome had left. "Mama please come back! I need you, Sango needs you, Miroku needs you! We all miss you Mama please come back!" Shippou cried pleading for his adoptive mother to return. He missed her so very much. All he did was sit at the well waiting, crying for her to return, train a little with his fox fire, imagining he was setting a certain hanyou on fire.
But mainly he cursed Inuyasha for driving her away. "Stupid Mutt! It's his fault. "Suddenly he smelled something coming from the well. He looked down and saw a female figure.
She was wearing loose black pants, a white sleeveless top with a black bandana tied in her hair. On her feet were black running shoes with white designs. There was a sword on her back. It was red with a dragon wrapping around the sheath. On the sword's hilt was the mark of the dragon clans, the symbol for fire. She also had a small sized bag tied to a black belt on her waist. Her hair was at the knee, even though she had it pulled up. She looked up at him then jumped out of the well. The woman landed beside Shippou. "Shippou! I missed you!" she said pulling him into a hug. "MAMA!" he yelled hugging her back "I missed you too, mama! Why were you gone so long? I don't ever want you to leave again, mama. Please don't go away again!" He was crying in her embrace feeling safer now than ever before. "Don't worry, I'm not planing on going back home for a while." she said starting to walk to the village. Suddenly Inuyasha appeared in front of them. "What are you doing back here, wench!" He said looking at her like she was an enemy. She just ignored him and kept on walking to the village like he wasn't even there. That is, until he tried to grab her arm. But she jumped out of his way causing him to fall face down in the dirt. "Inuyasha, I recommend you leave me alone." Kagome said continuing her way to the village. "Oh, and one more thing, leave the shard hunting to me. I don't need your help to get them. I don't even need you help to fight Naraku. So find someone or something else to go after. You're no longer needed to continue searching for the jewel."
With that she continued walking to the village with Shippou on her shoulder. "Mama, did you get stronger?" Shippou asked waving his tail. "Why, yes in fact I did Shippou. Why do you ask?" She replied looking at him. "Well its just, I want someone to train me, and I know Inuyasha won't. Plus Sango and Miroku are gone to train in the mountains, they won't be back for another month." He said. As they were walking Kagome sensed two jewel shards coming their way. "Oh great. Here comes Koga." Kagome said in a monotone voice. Just then a little tornado appeared and out of it leaped Koga. "Kagome, you've returned to me I knew you would. I clobbered mutt face over there after I heard about what he did to you." he said walking up to her and wrapping his arms around her in a not so welcome embrace.
"Let go of her wolf. Before things get messy, she's mine to get rid of. Not yours to use as a toy." said the hanyou pulling himself off the ground. "Koga I have a favor to ask " said Kagome making a big eyed pleading face, "Anything for you Kagome" he replied looking at that face and falling victim to its power of it's cuteness. 'Hm I'm gonna have to try that trick' thought Shippou watching his mother closely "Koga, will you please keep Inuyasha away from me for a while?" she said repeating 'The Look'. "D'aw how do you expect me to say no to that face. Alright I'll do it." Koga replied. 'that face is just too cute on her' he thought to himself. So to buy her time Koga punched Inu in the head to start a fight. "That was a cheap shot Koga!" said Inu with the punch mark on his cheek. "You're gonna pay for that!" he said charging at him unsheathing his sword.
Meanwhile on the way to the village
"So Shippou, what have you been doing while I was gone?" Kagome said as she looked over at the kit on her shoulder. They had almost reached the village, when suddenly a giant snake demon appeared. It was at least sixty feet long and ten feet wide. It's scales were red with green stripes. It had the same colored eyes as Inuyasha when his demon blood had control. "Give me your jewel shardsssss. And no one getsssss hurt." It said showing it's long, dripping fangs. Moving closer to Kagome and Shippou.
"yeeaahh. like I'm really that afraid of you, I'd just give you my shards and go on my way." Kagome said looking at the snake like it was an ant. Then she unheathed her sword and sliced the demon like it was a limp noodle. (noodles mmmmm) then she continued on her way with Shippou looking stunned. "Mama, I didn't know you could fight like that. Where'd you learn to do that!" he said climbing on her head. "Do you think you could teach me that? I want to learn that to. Did you train with someone? Who taught you that? huh? huh?" Shippou asked excitedly, barely stopping to breath between sentences.
"Shippou calm down. I'll explain everything when we get to the village. alright?" she said with a small laugh.
When they reached the village they where greeted by everyone of the villagers. All of them were so happy to have the young miko back, she ahd been sorely missed. When they reached Kaede's hut they where greeted by the old miko with a hug. "Kagome, so good to ye again child. I'm glad ye have returned safely." she said ending the hug. "Ok Mama, now we're here. tell us! tell us!" said Shippou jumping up and down. "Come on, mama you promised! you promised!" he said as he looked at her with excitment "calm down Shippou, before you fall and hurt yourself" said Kagome with a small motherly smile. "Alright it started three days after I got home-"
flashback
"Kagome its been three days, dear. You need to do something besides stay cooped up in your room." said her mom.(a/n I don't know her mom's name. So I'm gonna call her Ana)"But mom, I'm just so depressed." she replied looking out the window at a singing blue bird, who was perched in the tree near her window. "Everything I do reminds me of him" she said as she crossed her arms on teh windowsil and rested her head on them. "well honey, you could train. I have some friends who would love a trainee. what do you say? hm?" said Ana placeing her hand on her daughter's shoulder. Kagome looked up at her mom with a warm, and greatful smile on her face. "thanks mom" she said placeing her hand on her mother's.
the next day
The day had been rough, Kagome had had to travel up a steep mountain, through a thick forest, and across a swamp. just to get to her first teacher's dojo. Her trainer was named Genkai. (why because I can thats why) She was going to train Kagome to use her miko powers more efficiently. Kagome would trian with her for a month then go to her next teacher. The training had been harder then the trip. Kagome had to lose her bow and arrows. Genkai claiming she would never need them again. So Kagome did as she was told and got rid of her bow and arrows. though she'd not liked giving them up. she'd had them since she'd started her journeyin the feudal era. Genkai had her learn to create new ones with her miko abilities. She even learned to make a whip like Fluffy-sama's. "Good, Good. But you must focus more on the amount of energy you use" Genkai said sternly shaking her head in slight approval. Kagome had done some work withkaede on her miko powers before the young miko had left, which had mildly pleased Genkai.
"Now try to hit the target using only your miko energy" After the first day a routine was started. Wake up before dawn, eat some food, meditate, warm up, and then train till she passed out. Genkai did not go easy on the young miko. she pushed her hard since she only had a month to work with her. The old woman did not waste a moment. Every minute of the day till Kagome passed out was spent training in some way.
The training had continued on this way until the last day. "Well kid you did really well. A heck of a lot better then my last student." Said Genkai "Now take this, it's a small gift your father wanted me to pass down to you if you were ever to to trained by me." She said tossing Kagome a small package. When Kagome opened it she saw a beautiful medallion on a silver chain. On the medallion was a blue diamond fox paw print. It was the symbol of the Eastern Taiyoukai from Inuyasha's time. "bu-but why did he have this? was he a demon?" asked Kagome who was really confussed. She looked at Genkai, in an almost distressed way. "Yes. Kagome he was." replied Genkai. Kagome gasped in shock then fainted. Partially fromt eh shock, partially from exhaustion.
When she woke up she was no longer at Genkai's dojo. She was in a cave. She didn't know where this cave was, nor how she got there, which made her scared for a moment. "Where the hell am I?" she said to no one in particular."You in my cave, that's where" replied a strange voice. "Why am I here? I have to go meet my next teacher." said Kagome trying to get up, only to be pushed back down by strong yet gentle hands. "Hush child, I am your teacher for this month. Under my tutoring you will learn to transform into your demon form, control your youki, hide your demon essance, and all your attacks. Let me warn you ahead of time, since you are now finding out you're a demon, you can never again attend human school." said her new teacher with their hands on her shoulders.
To say Kagome was shocked would be an understatement of how she felt. "Never go to school again! But what about my education? What about my friends? I know with going to the past I wasn't doing so well in school, but I was trying. what am I going to do?" she said shackily. She looked to her teacher hoping they would have the answers to her questions. "Fear not, Kagome. You will be attending demon school. There you will learn all you need to know. But that will come later." Said her teacher. Kagome then with that comment became more relaxed. "now child in the morning we begin your traning, so get some rest." with that her teacher left the cave.
The next morning Kagome woke up before dawn. Beside her was a package with her name on it. So she picked it up and opened it. Inside the package was an outfit much like Sango's. But a bit different in style. It was white with green fox paws on it. In the very center of the chest was the blue fox paw that represented her father's lands. Having that symbol meant you were someone very important. There was a note wrapped in the cloth. It read "This is your new fighting outfit. Wear it with pride, for it represents your father. With that blue paw no one will think to harm you. Once you change into this come to the field two hundred yards from the cave. it is to the north."
Kagome did as the note said changing and then went to the field. She even put on the medallion left to her by her father. When she got to the feild she saw her teacher standing in the center of the feild. So she walked over to him. When she reached him he didn't move and if you didn't see the slight rise and fall of his chest you'd most likely think him to be dead. When he came out of his trance he looked over to her "Are you ready?" he said. "Yes I think I am" Kagome said looking at him straight in the eye. Suddenly she began to feel a warm feeling run through her blood. She looked down and saw a blue fox paw appear on the ground under her. "now just imagine a coin in your head, Heads will be this form, tails will be your demon form." said the man, watchign her intently.
Kagome tried what he'd suggested, then a bright blue light began to surround her. Kagome felt her body changing looking at herself during the tranformation she noticed that she had six black tails, two black fox ears, and long claws. Her figure changed as well, She began curvy and lean, her legs were long and slim. Her hair was now to her knees. It was black with blue and silver streaks in it. Her eyes went from chocolate brown to beautiful silver mixed swirling gold. When the transformation was completed she felt a burning sensation in her body. It was so intense she felt she must either scream or die. She did scream. The pain was, however, too intense casuing her to pass out. When she woke up she was in the cave. "Well. You certinly handled that better than I thought. I expected you to try and rip your skin off." he said looking at her from his postion on the wall. "What was that pain. It felt horrible. Like I was being burned from the inside out." She said pulling her legs to her chest after she'd sat up. she rested her chin on her knees, looking ahead at the wall infront of her.
"That. Was what your father felt when he lost your mother the first time she disappeared." he said looking away from her. He stood and began walking to the enterance of the cave. "what do you mean?" she said looking worried. "Nothing. We shall continue your training tommorow" he said looking back at her with a smile, leaving the cave. The next morning she transformed without the pain and began training. First she learned to control her new demon blood and energy. She felt so much stronger and faster now. She began learning how to make simple things into weapons, everything could be used, from a blade of grass to a rock. Kagome also learned she had the ability to levitate, at first it was only an inch or so off the ground, but soon she was almost three feet above it. Then she began to learn tricks like Shippou's but more advanced. She could transform herself, create and control a blue flame, and she could even control plants.
But learning all this took the rest of her stay with her second teacher. Who, she foudn out her last day with him, was none other than her uncle!
It was now the last month of her training. She had learned alot from her first two teachers and could hardly wait to meet with this last teacher. With them she was going to learn how to use a sword and how to strategize a fight. With Genkai's training she had mastered her archery, so here she could focus soley on the sword and whatever else she had to learn from this new teacher.
Her newest teacher lived in a small village that time had forgotten. Thee people didn't even realize that all around them the world had progressed. Trapped behind a magical barrier that kept them oblivious of the world outside their village. To the inhabitants of the village it was still the Meiji Era. Her newest teacher's name was Kenshin. The famous swordsmen who was also known as the Battosai. Kagome could not wait to meet him. He was told to be kind and gentle. But if you angered him to a certin piont he could kill you before you had a chance to blink.
He was truely one of the very best to be had. Kagome had reached his place of residence only to see a tall spicky haired man picking on a boy that looked to be no older than her brother Sota. "You little runt just give up she ain't coming" said Mr. spicky (Again, why because I can.) "She is so coming. Kenshin said his pupil would be here soon." The boy began punching away at the man. The man laughed at his attacks and hit him on the head. " me." said Kagome they stopped fighting turned to her, The man had the boy's head under his arm and had been giving him a noogie. "Is there someone here named Kenshin?" she asked.
During the time she was with Kenshin she learned to judge her opponent's movements, how to keep her opponents from guessing what she was going to do, Kagome practiced both Kaoru's style and Kenshin's style of swordsmanship. Kagome much prefered Kaoru's though, which was made to protect people. Even though Kenshin taught her all that he could, but he always won their fights in the end. Senoske, during her stay, tried many times to get her alone. He just wouldn't take no for an answer. He was worse than Koga. By the time the end of her training came around Kagome was ready to return to the past. She thanked Kenshin adn the others before she left.
End flashback
"wow mama that is so cool!" Shippou said "will you train me?" he said with huge pleading eyes. Kagome was about to anwser when from outside the hut she heard Inuyasha scream "OY WENCH GET OUT HERE! SO I CAN KILL YOU!" Kagome gracefully got up from her spot on the mat and walked calmly outside. Kagome walked to stand about ten feet away from Inuyasha. "Finally!" The hanyou growled, he raised his claws and glared at the girl. Kagome just stood there giving Inuyasha a bored look. Then she said "Well. What do you want? Speak."
"Hey I ain't no dog" Inu snapped. "Could have fooled me, Inuyasha" She sarcastically said, then added "Hey Inuyahsa, guess what I can do?" She then gave him a devilish grin. "And what is it you can do that's so interesting?" Inuyasha said as she glared at the young miko. "This!" Then suddenly Kagome was surrounded by a blue light and when it faded Kagome stood, transformed into her humanoid form. Inuyasha went bug-eyed, staring a tthe girl in shock. Shippou squealed in delight and was bouncing up and down. Koga,who appeared out of nowhere, drooled so much a few rocks floated away. "So what do you think, Inuyasha, think I'm still just a pathetic human?" Kagome said with gloating look on her face. "Hamina. Hamina. Hamina." was all he could say
"I knew my woman was special!" Said Koga who then let out a low whistle. Suddenly someone appeared that they weren't expecting. It was Sesshomaru, which surprised everyone. Except Kagome she had sensed him three minutes ago. "well Lord Sesshomaru you're finally here. I was worried you wouldn't make it." said Kagome as she nodded her head in his direction. "I merely came to see what that strange energy was." then he too noticed her and well not even he could resist a female demon. Then he did something no one would have thought he was capable of doing over Kagome, his eyes tinted red. Then so did Inu and Koga. Then they all howled.
"AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOO!"
"what the heck is going on?" said Kagome. Then she remembered what happens when two or more male demons see the same female demon and all want the same one. They go after her, and first come. First get. "Oh crap!" said Kagome running from the three demons that began chasing her. she ran through the forest, all the while hearign the three males behind her getting closer. As she was running she passed a cave. She ran into it and put up a barrier. "Thank you Genkai." she said Inuyasha,Sesshomaru, and Koga bashed their bodies against the barrier. They were growling and acted like wild animals.
Then suddenly from deep inside the cave came a bluish glow. It was so bright Kagome had to cover her eyes. When the light died down and Kagome could lower her arm, she saw the most handsome demon she'd ever seen. He had long flame red hair that was in a long braid, beautiful sunset gold eyes, a muscular body like Sesshomaru and Inuyasha combined. On his forehead was a small tattoo that looked like a flame.
'Ooh. He's sexy!' thought Kagome who just kept staring at him. Then to make sure she wasn't dreaming she stood up and moved over to him. Then she lifted a hand and poked him. He looked down at her then said "what are you doing in my cave?" Kagome blushed and moved away then looked up at him and then looked at the three crazy demons at the entrance. "Running from them." she said "I'm sorry I didn't know this cave was occupied." He looked where she was looking at and then snapped his fingers and they were trapped in a cyclone of fire. "Now you can leave without worring about them." He said walking to the back of the cave.
Kagome left and ran really fast back to Kaede's village. Confused about the demon she had met. Kagome shifted back to her human self, hoping that by the time the boys got there they would have control of themselves.
