Kagome looked around hesitantly as she crept out from the well. The vivid image of Naraku snarling in rage was still very prominent in her mind. 'Should I go back…' Kagome wondered worriedly, looking back at the well she had just climbed out from. 'I should. If I don't everyone will be…' shaking her head to rid of those depressing thoughts she stood up and looked over the well again. "No choice. Its not complete yet."
Breathing in deeply Kagome climbed over the edge of the well and let go, dropping into the dark abyss of the wells magic. Blue light glittered around her announcing her entrance into the feudal era. Grunts and clangs of metal reached her ears as she arrived at the bottom gracefully. "Inuyasha…Sesshoumaru…" Kagome whispered to herself before slowly grabbing a vine and pulling herself up to the top of the well.
Looking around she ducked just in time to avoid a tree limb hitting her in the head. "Jeez, I feel loved…" Kagome muttered to herself before quickly crawling out of the well and running to the edge of the forest to hide behind a tree.
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha both looked to each other as their noses twitched. Inuyasha nodded and quickly moved to block narakus sight as Sesshoumaru moved to talk to Kagome. "Miko, what are you doing?"
Kagome jumped slightly before turning and looking at sesshoumaru with a small smile. "I'm here to help obviously." She said before looking towards inuyasha again. Sesshoumaru grunted before reaching forward and grabbing her arm forcibly. "We do not need your assistance miko."
Kagome frowned before moving to get her arm back. "Yes you do. Only I can purify the jewel. If I don't it wont be able to be wished away." Kagome said before yanking her arm out of his hold. Sesshoumaru snarled at her face before sighing, "Very well, miko. You have decided your own fate." He left her side in a rush and quickly rejoined the battle at Inuyasha's side.
Kagome blinked in surprise before smiling. "At least he's learned that I never back down." Kagome whispered to herself before heading towards the other side of the clearing where her arrows and bag were at. Picking them up she turned just in time to be stabbed by a tree limb thrown by naraku. Screaming in pain Kagome grabbed at her stomach, her eyes widening as she saw the branch sticking out from her, it was probably 3 inches around. Tears stung her eyes and she gritted her teeth as she looked up at Naraku. Gritting her teeth Kagome leaned back, the wood of the branch moved as the tip pushed against the ground.
Screaming once more Kagome dropped foreword before clenching her fists around her arrow and bow. This time, ignoring the pain, Kagome leaned back and aimed at Naraku. "NARAKU!" Kagome yelled, gaining his attention. (I know, stupid right? But that's how everyone fights in this time period, its weird I know….) "You're DEAD Naraku!" she yelled, surprising even herself. Releasing her arrow Kagome watched as it glowed pink before stabbing naraku in the chest.
Snarling naraku's eyes bled red before his mouth opened in a silent scream of agony. His body soon began to disintegrate, making him even angrier. "I will come back! I will kill you for this!" Naraku bellowed before his body finally dissipated into dust.
Kagome gasped in pain, closing her eyes to everyone around her. Sesshoumaru rushed forward to make sure that the deed was done and grab the remaining of the jewel as Inuyasha rushed to Kagome and grabbed her shoulders. "Kagome, stay with us Kagome!"
Sesshoumaru walked over to inuyasha was a frown on his lips. "Half-breed, it may help if you removed to limb from her stomach." He said, kneeling down and grasping the branch in his hand. With a single yank he pulled the branch out of Kagome's stomach with a squelching noise accompaning it.
Kagome leaned back and screamed, her mouth open wide and her eyes wide in pain. Inuyasha flinched and glared at sesshoumaru before looking down as Kagome fainted from the pain and blood loss.
"Damn it." Inuyasha grunted before going to stand, only to freeze as a blinding pink light engulfed Kagome and the jewel. Releasing Kagome inuyasha quickly backed up, sesshoumaru right beside him. "What the-"
"Hello, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru, helpers of the Shikon Miko." A voice spoke from the light. It was neither female or male, it was more of a mixture of all.
"…"Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes and sneered while Inuyasha blinked and tilted his head.
"We see that you are confused. Let us explain." The voice said before it split into four spots, soon materializing into beings. "We are the guardians of the shikon."
Sesshoumaru snarled at the beings infront of them before glancing to inuyasha as he too snarled.
"We understand your anger." The beings said together, not even blinking as Inuyasha charged at them to kill them. "Any attack will do no good. Not even with your tenseiga." They said, looking at Sesshoumaru with blank uncaring eyes.
"Why are you here?" he asked, glancing at inuyasha as he turned around and steadied himself.
"We are here to move our guardian to a peaceful time." One of the beings walked forward and bent to lift the miko into his arms. As soon as she was touched her skin, too, took on the transparent pink glow, her hair flowed in a invisible wind.
"What do you mean! What are you doing with Kagome!" Inuyasha blurted, slowly getting to his feet.
"Calm down half-breed." Sesshoumaru stated before looking to the four beings once more. "What time period?"
The beings looked at one another before a slightly older one shrugged. Turning back to the brothers they answered as one, "We are unsure. In 500 years the world will be reformed. Demons will forget about the jewel and humans will forget about demons. Peace will be formed and our guardian will be safe. To protect her further she will be moved to a new country not yet discovered by this lands people."
"Will we ever see her again!" Inuaysha demanded, walking forward, forgetting that his touch passes right through the beings.
They all shrugged. "We are unsure." The beings slowly merged back into one form of light, Kagome's form disappearing with them. "To protect her we will give her a new life. She will have memories placed over the ones of her stay here and her life previously. Should it come to pass that her life is in danger once more she shall regain her memories. We do not wish to do this to our faithful guardian, but it is not only for her safety but for the worlds safety."
"What will happen if she is in danger again? Who'll protect her if I'm not there with her!" Inuyasha demanded, ignoring sesshoumaru, whom had gone mysteriously quiet.
"We do not know. As demons you should live long. It is possible you will be there. Time will tell us that answer."
Before anything else could be said the lights started to shine brighter before finally a flashing light echoed across the land, a large boom sounded. Inuyasha and sesshoumaru stared at the charred spot before looking at each other.
*with Kagome, 531 years after the feudal era*
Kagome groaned before sitting up slowly. "Kagome! Are you finally awake dear!" Kagome blinked slowly before rubbing her eyes.
"Yeah, I'm up." She muttered to herself before swinging her legs over the bed. "I don't want to be up, but I'm up."
"Kagome!" her mothers voice carried up to her, making Kagome sigh.
"Yes, I'm up!" Kagome yelled back to her mother, rolling her eyes as she heard her mothers footsteps walking away from the stairs leading to her room.
"Come downstairs dear! Breakfast is ready and the mails arrived!" Kagome groaned. It was the same thing every morning. Wake up, hear mother, answer mother, told breakfast is ready, go downstairs, read mail, dress, leave. It annoyed Kagome greatly that this happened every, single, day. Some odd stuff wouldn't be bad every once in a while.
A knock at the door sounded and Kagome blinked in curiosity. "I wonder what that is..." she said to herself before getting out of bed and changing at a languid pace.
"Kagome, dear! Please come down here! There's someone here to see you!" Kagome mother yelled up the stairs, her voice happier than it should have been considering the fact it was morning.
"Yes mom!" Kagome yelled back tiredly before slowly getting out of bed and walking out of her room, making sure to close her door behind herself.
As soon as she reached the bottom of the stairs Kagome noticed who their 'visitor' was. It looked more like he was a great grandfather or something. "Hello?" Kagome said, reaching out her hand in greeting. He smiled and shook her hand as her mother came back out, a tray of tea in her hands.
"Oh good. I was getting tired of yelling. Come on, into the living room." Her mother said, pushing the old man with Kagome into the living room.
Kagome smiled a little in spit of herself. Her mother was always amusing when she was pushy. She was too polite to be really pushy, so when she tried it would usually fail. Once they had all sat down Kagome looked at the old man and noticed he was wearing strange clothes. "So, what are you-" she was cut off as her mother asked if anyone would like some tea.
"Yes, that would be lovely, Mrs. Higurashi. That's a Japanese last name, correct?" the old man said, reaching forward elegantly and gently picking up the fragile looking tea cup. Kagome's mother, Himiko, nodded with a smile.
"Yes. Kagome was born here, but I met her father in japan. When we married I took on his name." Himiko's smile wavered a small bit when she said Kagome was born where they were, but Kagome didn't notice. Their guest, however, did notice. He suppressed a smile and instead looked dead in Kagome's mother's eyes.
"Himiko, it has begun." Kagome looked quickly to her mother to see her gasping and quickly placing her tea cup on the table, lest she drop it. "Mom? What does he mean?"
Himiko smiled reassuringly at her daughter before looking to the old man again. "Are you sure, Albus?"
He nodded. "Yes. He has begun to move. As you are aware, your daughter must learn to protect herself. We were both told this day may come, 11 years ago when she was born. We were even both given flashbacks of the events." While Kagome didn't know what he was talking about, Himiko did.
After the four beings, now one, took Kagome away from the feudal area they went to Kagome's original time. After explaining to Kagome's mother they took her and Kagome to 20 years after Kagome's time. A replica of Kagome's mother was left with the family, an exact double. Kagome was assumed to have died and a funeral was held for her.
Once they had arrived 20 years in the future, their new present, Kagome was then placed in her mother once again, to be born anew. The wound she had received had been too great and she would have died and left the jewel unguarded otherwise. When Kagome was born a flash of light shot out of Kagome and into her mother. A matching light shot across the world to England, to Albus Dumbledore. They both were met by the four beings in their minds, and the story of Kagome's life was told to them. In fear that it would repeat, Kagome's mother forced her family, consisting of a boy at age 2 and a new born Kagome and a husband, to England. They learned the language and found a place in society.
The four beings warned that, while they had moved her to a safer time period, the events could repeat or she might regain her memories before they are needed. As a precaution they told both recipients of the other, so they would always be aware that help is near.
Kagome blinked as her mother slowly stood. "Mom?" she asked, watching her mother leave the room.
"Do not worry, Kagome. Himiko is just giving us some time alone to talk." Kagome looked to Albus and nodded slowly. He smiled, his eyes crinkling merrily. "As I understand you are going to turn 11 soon." The question sounded more like a statement.
Kagome nodded slowly. "Yeah. Im turning 11 in a few months. Why?" she asked, looking at the old man with weary eyes.
"Because to go to the school your mother has planned, the one I am in charge of as headmaster, you must be about to turn 11 or you are already 11." Kagome blinked before slowly responding to the information he had just given her.
"So…am I going to a new school then?"
"Yes." He said before reaching forwards with his hand once more. "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Albus Dumbledore. Headmaster of Hogwarts, school of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Kagome stared at him and he withdrew his hand slowly when she started laughing. "Kagome? Are you alright?"
Kagome held her stomach as she started laughing hard, her eyes watering. "W-wizards?" Kagome gasped out wiping her eyes with her sleeve. "Y-you expect me to believe that wizards exists?" she asked still laughing to herself.
Dumbledore smiled before pulling out his wand. With a flick and softly spoken words the table in-between them and everything on it vanished. Shrieking Kagome flipped over the couch and hid behind it. 'What the hell!' Kagome thought to herself, 'He just made all our stuff disappear! What the fuck is going on!' she asked herself , slowly backing away from the chair, making sure to stay out of sight of Dumbledore.
"No worries Himiko. Kagome is merely not believing that I am indeed a wizard. And she is a witch." Kagome blinked and stilled at these words. 'I'm a witch?'
"Would you like me to help, Albus?" Kagome's mother asked, her footsteps coming from the kitchen.
"No, there is no need." He said, and Kagome heard her mothers footsteps retreating. "Now, Kagome. If you come to my school you can train and learn how to control your powers. I'm sure you've noticed that strange things happen around you sometimes?"
Slowly Kagome stood from her position on the ground and looked at Dumbledore with a blank expression. "How do you know about those?" she asked softly, not moving from her spot.
He smiled softly. 'She seems to have retained the skills her demon friends taught her. Her agility to move, and her weary blank expression is very like the things I saw in those visions.' "All magic activity is reported to schools so we can best help future students. Its even more critical that we watch any muggle born children to make sure they do not endanger the rest of the wizarding community."
"So, theres more of you?" she asked, slowly walking back to her seat.
"Of us Kagome. You are a witch, part of our community. But yes, you would be surprised at how many of us there are." He said, smiling. Kagome nodded but stayed quiet, so he continued speaking. "While you grew up my school got many reports of magic used. You healed cuts on yourself and friends, you levitated objects, and you made some things, like your chores, disappear." Kagome blushed when he mentioned her chores.
"So…do you know about my dreams as well?" she asked quietly, her eyes closing slightly, making her miss his surprised look.
"Dreams?" he asked, leaning forward slightly.
She nodded and curled into her self, lifting her legs and wrapping her arms around them to hold them close, in a classic fetal position. "Yeah. Ever since that stuff started happening I've been getting weird dreams of another world. Is that magic?" she asked softly, closing her eyes.
"No." she looked up at his blunt answer. "It is not because of magic that you are getting those dreams. I know of what they must entail, but I am not able to tell you." He paused as her shoulders slupped. "However…" Kagome looked back up at him her eyes watery. "However, if you come to my school and learn how to control your powers than I can almost certainly guarantee that your dreams will be explained."
Kagome was silent and her mother slowly crept back into the room and placed her hand on her daughters shoulder, silently giving her support on whatever Kagome decided upon.
"I guess I have no choice. I don't mind going to school at your school." Kagome said, looking at Dumbledore over her knees. He smiled and nodded.
"I will send you a escort to help you get your school supplies." He said before standing from his seat.
"Albus, can you put our things back before you go?" Himiko asked, with a small smile when he had reached the door. He smiled apologetically once he turned back.
"So sorry." He waved his wand and everything came back. Kagome jumped slightly, but he just smiled again. "Have a nice day."
With that he left, and Kagome slumped into her seat. 'What was a bit to un-normal. I take back what I said. A normal routine isn't bad at all…'
*two months later, on a train.*
Kagome sighed as she finally relaxed on her seat on the train heading to her school. A quiet meow next to her made her smile and turn her head to her right to see her companion. "Hey KiKi." Kagome said, to the small tan and black cat in the small cage.
"Um, excuse me. Can I join you?" Kagome sat up at the female voice and noticed a frizzy haired girl standing in the doorway.
Nodding Kagome picked up her companion and moved her to be beside her as the frizzy haired girl joined her. "Hello. My name is Hermione." She said, sticking out her hand once she had sat down.
Kagome slowly reached out her hand and shook Hermione's. "Kagome." She said, before retracting her hand and moving to stare out the train.
Hermione fidgeted before setting a bag Kagome hadn't noticed on the seat. "I'm going to walk around the train. Do you want to join me?"
Kagome remained silent and instead turned to continue looking out the window. A sigh was heard before the sliding of the door sounded. A small meow was once more heard and Kagome looked down at KiKi slowly. "Don't chastise me. I don't know her." Another small mew was heard and the cat looked at her with disapproval. Kagome looked away guiltily.
The rest of the train ride was uneventful. She was curious as to where they were. To her knowledge, England didn't have this much open land. 'There are so many hills and forests.' It occurred to her, later, that since she entered another world, so to speak, when she had to get her things, then it made sense that the school would be in a different world. It wasn't the world she had been dreaming about lately, but it was close enough to it.
She sighed as night fell, making her cabin darker than before. A soft mew made her look to Kiki and she almost jumped as glowing red eyes stared at her from her companions face. "Well, at least now I know how to find you in the dark." Kagome said good naturedly. She was determined to not freak out over every little thing that was going to happen.
The door to her compartment opened and someone came back into her compartment. Kagome assumed it was that girl from before until they almost sat on her. "Hey!" Kagome exclaimed, pushing them away form her. "I'm not a seat!" she said angrily, glaring at the person.
"Well then maybe you shouldn't be sitting alone in the dark." Kagome blinked. That was a male voice. She listened intently, making sure he didn't try anything. All she heard was some rustling as he turned to peer out of the curtain covered door.
"Well excuse me." She said, covering up her apprehension. "I was here first, this is my chosen area. You should be the one apologizing." She said, her glare and anger plainly heard in her voice.
A scoff was heard and her glare hardened. "I don't apologize."
Kiki hissed slightly as the boy accidentally touched her cage. "Kiki, be quiet." She said softly, sticking her finger into the cage and smiling despite her anger as Kiki rubbed up against her.
"You brought a cat?" he asked, and Kagome got the impression that he didn't like cats.
"Yes, what of it?" she demanded, her anger coming very close to its limit.
When she didn't get a response she started to open her mouth to yell when a soft hand covered it. She gasped in outrage and grabbed his wrist before his urgent voice whispered to her to be quiet. The anger in his voice stilled her in her spot. She grunted but didn't remove her hand from his.
The sound of female voices walking by made him tense, Kagome could feel it just from her hand on his wrist and his on her mouth. The girls seemed excited and giggly, and it wasn't until their voices had faded.
Kagome blinked as the moon shone through for a moment and a flash of light blonde hair was visible. Just as quickly the moon was covered again. But that flash had been enough. Suddenly a vision of a boy with dog ears and silver hair, and a man with tattoos and silver hair, flashed across her minds eye. She gasped and flinched away from his hand, letting go of his wrist.
He scoffed before moving to the door. Kagome listened intently as it opened and closed before sighing. "I wonder who that was, and who those two were…" she whispered to herself. Kiki's red eyes glowed softly in the darkness before slowly fading to a dark orange. She blinked before settling in to rest before they arrived at the castle.
{AN: So, what does everyone think? I know, I have other stories to write. But this one has been bothering me for a while. I had a dream and this was what it had. I have writers block concerning my other stories. But no worries, I've been having this feeling to write for a while now and I think I can possibly finish them soon. I haven't been able to, but I will be able to now I think.
OH! And this is a very important question. What house do you think Kagome should be in? Slytherin or Gryffindor? I would offer Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, however, those two classes are hardly talked about and not much is known about them. I have read all the books, and seen all the movies. I also own all the books and all the movies that are on dvd. So, I do know a bit about each place. I know what slytherin looks like because of the second book.
Now, the way I will know which house you all choose is by a vote. If you want slytherin than say slytherin. Gryffindor then say griffindor. It all depends. I have a chapter written for each house sorting. Kagome's personality will be the same no matter what, but her romantic relationship might change depending on which house it is. That, and the way she behaves might change as well.
SO, back to the choices. SLYTHERIN or GRYFFINDOR?}
