Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
Yeah I'm writing another fic. I couldn't help myself lol
Enjoy!
Where Am I?
That was the first thing that came to her mind. All I could see was darkness.
All right, don't panic. What it's the last thing you remember?. My mind wandered back to yesterday events. Let's see, I woke up, had breakfast, went to school then came back home and fell asleep. I listed making sure not to forget anything. Nothing out of the usual happened, well besides I did a marathon of inuyasha at 3am, but that was normal for my Fridays nights.
So why?... Why I can't see anything? Why I can't remember nothing after I fell asleep watching inuyasha.
My eyelids feel so heavy. I tried to move my body, but it feel like my arms were noodles. I tried to talk but nothing but a little whine came out.
"So you're finally awake" a sweet voice said.
And as if those words were magic, my eyes fluttered open.
I suddenly found myself staring at a stranger woman that was holding me close to her. Almost as if I was a baby, how funny.
"Hello there sweetheart" The woman said smiling at me. "Are you hungry?"
I move my mouth trying to ask her if she was on drugs, but again that pathetic whine came out.
"I'll take that as a yes"
Oh, well, this was awkward.
After the woman stopped feeding me; was that I realized something wasn't right. First of all, I was a 15 years old girl, not a baby, and this woman was definitely not my mother and the man next to her wasn't my father and the old man with the tears in his eyes wasn't my grandpa.
So why do the look so familiar?
"Kagome" the younger man said.
What a funny coincidence.
"Higurashi Kagome" the old man said "I like it"
If I could I would be laughing at my predicament.
I was Kagome Higurashi, from inuyasha.
Should I consider myself blessed or plain unlucky?
Every passing moment I was even more convinced than, what was happening to me was indeed real, and not a really long sweet induced sweat.
Kagome's family ... I mean, my family was not so bad. Gramps was a bit dramatic but was fine for the most part. Eiko, my mother was an incredible cook. Now she could understand why the Inugang loved her. And my father, Kei was a noble man who loved his family.
They were really gaining a place in my heart.
Unfortunately, happiness did not last forever. I thought as I looked at the photograph of the man I learned to love as my true father. I lit incense in her memory, murmured a quick prayer, and left the room to continue crying in my own room.
The tragedy had reached the sanctuary of Higurashi and only the birth of a new member had removed the sad aura present in the air of the sanctuary.
My younger brother, Sota, was born on a cold April night in the same hospital as me. Her cry bringing a smile on my mother's face I have not seen in a moment that makes me smile without me noticing.
It has been three months since Sota's arrival and I could feel an obvious change in the air. This could only mean that from an early age the original Kagome could feel the presence of evil. I touched my left side subconsciously, of course I could, after all, had the jewel inside me to enhance my spiritual power. I have a mission, and would succeed in memory of the original Kagome, I will not disappoint her or anyone if I could help.
I no longer feel sad every day; Instead I expected each dawn with happiness and anticipation. Every day that passes means one day less for my 15th birthday, the day my destiny is sealed forever. I needed to train if I wanted to be more useful to the team this time.
"Gramps" I called the old man by my side. "Tell me about the shikon no tama"
His eyes widened in surprise, but soon this was replaced by a happy smile and a pride in his tired eyes.
"Have you heard of the jewel?" He asked curiously.
Crap, I'm only 5, of course he's curious to were a learned that, quick think about something.
"I heard you talking about it to the tourist the other day" nice save Kagome. I mentally congratulate myself.
He smiled. "I knew one of my grandchildren would be interested in the jewel"
Oh you have no idea Gramps, no idea how right you are.
He began to tell me the story I knew so well adding sound effect -according to him- to make more interesting.
"And the priestess said" he cleared his throat "Aghh! My love how could you?"
I stifled a laugh. That was the most girly scream I ever heard in my two life's, and that saying a lot.
"The priestess used her bow and shoot an arrow that sealed her lover in a tree" he said in a sympathetic tone. "And you know what, Kagome?"
"What?"
"The tree of the history is the very same were sitting in front of right now"
"Really?" I said feigning excitement; after all I already knew all of this.
"Yes" he smiled "Our family has the honor to take care of the shrine, Kagome, so you should feel proud that you live in such an historic place"
I nodded smiling. "I want to be a priestess like the one in the history"
First step of my plan has been completed.
(…)
I was currently 7 and learning how to use my spiritual power to appease evil energies with one of gramps old friend, Chikako-san. She was an elderly woman in her late 60's that was in charge of the Nobuko shrine and was my current teacher.
Sweat build up in my forehead. I bit my lips and clenched my fist to suppress a shiver. This was harder that I had first thought.
"What it is, Kagome-chan?" a voice said behind me.
"I can feel it, Chikako-san" I bit my lips "But I can't stop it"
"Think about your spiritual energy like an extension of your body" she placed a skinny hand in my shoulder to comfort me. "You know where the presence is, so extent your hand and imagine a light coming out of it" she explained.
I did as told and was surprised to feel something warm around my right hand and successfully purifying the evil presence.
"A-amazing"
I opened my eyes to see a pinkish light emanate from my hand.
"How I did it sensei?"
"I have never seen such a powerful spiritual energy before" she said in disbelieve.
I grinned at that. "Thank you, Chikako-san, but I must leave now or I'll be late to me archery lessons"
She nodded and waved her hand goodbye still dumfounded.
(…..)
I was 9 now, and I'm proud to say I'm stronger than the real Kagome. That's right, even after all of these years, I still feel weird being in one of my favorite character body. But I was slowly accepting it.
I was currently at school having lunch with Ayaka-chan, A friend from elementary school I hang out all the time when I wasn't busy training. She was a shy girl with big brown eyes and short black hair I had meet by accident when I collided with her in the hallway. She had spent the rest of the day staring at me until I apologized and promised to be careful, she had only smiled and introduced herself before inviting me to have lunch with her.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked me.
"How we meet" I said smiling.
She nodded satisfied with my answer "I'll see you after class?"
I shook my head "I have to go to my kendo classes"
"Oh" she said in a sad tone that broke my heart, I was her only friend after all.
"But we can hang out tomorrow if you want"
"It's fine by me!"
(….)
13 wasn't an easy age. It was the most uncomfortable and awkward of all ages.
I thought shivering at the memory of this morning events. I have had "The talk" with mom. I was flustered the whole time, and here I was thinking I was mature when I couldn't withstand the bee and flower talk for a second time.
But finally I was free. I stretched my arms, a content expression adorning my face. I had received my exams results and I'm proud to say I'm freaking smart.
I hadn't spent all of this time just training physically and spiritually, I also trained my brain. This way I could leave to the past without worrying too much.
"Buyo" I called the fat cat. "Come here"
He purred in response and sat in my lap. I scratched his ears earning lot of purrs from him.
"Sis" Sota called "Let me hold buyo"
"Alright, but be careful" I warned before standing up. "Mom. You need help?"
"Ah yes. Help cutting the vegetables"
I nodded and happily did as told.
(….)
I'm finally 14. Only one more year. Wait for me for me Naraku, I'll kick your ass this time around.
"Kagome!" Eri called me in a reprimanding tone. "Paid attention would you" she pouted "I need you to explain me this"
I chuckled" I know, don't worry. Trust in your best friend!"
"Higurashi! Something you want to share with the class?" our sensei called me in an angry tone.
The giggles of my entire classmate filled the room making me feel embarrassment.
I blushed. "No sensei" I bowed my head low "I'm sorry, it won't happen again"
/…./
2 weeks.
I was currently in the bathroom staring at my reflection. How many times have I done this, what more convincing I needed? Involuntary my hands reached to caress my hair, my face and finally my abdomen, my hand rested there for a couple of seconds until a soft light engulfed my hand. The shikon no tama. How weak will I be once you're not by mi side anymore?
I sighed. Dread would do me no good. I turned off the light a walked to my room. I needed to rest I have kendo tomorrow.
(….)
"Happy birthday Kagome-chan "
I opened my eyes lazily and was momentarily blinded by the sun light. Once I regained my sight I was greeted with a beautiful view. Mom placed a small cake in my lap and encouraged me to blow the candles whiles Sota and gramps were singing in the background.
I feel my eyes water, today was the day. I closed my eyes and think about a wish.
I wished that everything goes fine and that I don't ruin the main plot too much.
I blow the candles. And with that my fate was sealed.
What happened next was a blur.
I was now staring at the well. Sota was saying something but I could not hear him. My palms are sweaty and I'm trembling but I walk down the stairs slowly.
A feel of dread suddenly fills me. I kneeled to pick up buyo. Once he is in my arms I turned to face Sota with a nervous smiled plastered in my face.
I wait 10 seconds and nothings happen.
"Sis come back, I don't like this place"
Had my presence here ruined everything? Should I jump on my own? No. I quickly decide that would traumatize Sota. Better let things happen on their own.
"I'm coming"
Just when I was about to start walking a feel a cold sensation spread in my back. I let go of buyo and turned my head to see thousand of hands around me that were pulling me inside the well.
"Sis!"
I heard Sota scream. But it's too late; I'm now facing the centipede woman.
"I can feel it" she moans "My power is regenerating" she brings my face closer.
"You have it, don't you?" she licks my face and I shiver with disgust. I can't move, four of her arms are holding my limbs.
I struggle but she keeps her iron grip. Think kagome, think.
I closed my eyes and focused on her spiritual energy. I took a deep breath before expel my spiritual energy from all of my body.
The centipede woman screams while disintegrating ad I take this chance to catch my breath. I had used too much of my spiritual energy, without the jewel I would have fainted. I need to be more careful next time.
I landed softly at the bottom of the well.
This feels so surreal. For the first time since I woke up as kagome higurashi I was feeling the reality of everything.
Now I was in place were demons were real and they wanted only one thing. One thing I have inside of me.
"Not for long" I thought grimly.
I grabbed one of the many vines that growth in the well and started to climb my way out.
"Next time I'll bring a ladder. "
Once I'm out of the well I can't help but smiled. It was a lovely view. Everything seemed greener and the air more pure than the one in the future.
I'm finally here.
