OMG IM SO EXCITED TO WRITE THIS STORY, ITS BEEN ON MY CHEST FOR A LONG TIME LOL IT TOOK A WHILE THOUGH TO POST IT SINCE IT WAS ON NOTEBOOK PLZ REVIEW AND TELL ME YOUR OPINON!!
Kagome walked into her hut and saw her father lying down in the middle of the hut with his arms under his head. He had short brown hair and brown chocolate eyes with a light mustache. "Father?" she said as she sat next to him. He looked at her and smiled. "Hello darling, did you have a nice morning?" he asked as he sat up. "Well, there was an incident but nothing I couldn't handle." She said with a smile. He nodded and patted on the matt. "Sit with me, I made stew after you left." He said as he poured soup into the bowls. She sat down and took the bowl as her father sat back down. "Father, there's something on my mind…" she said as she played with her stew. He nodded. "You can tell me." He said. She sighed and looked up at him. "What happened with mom?"
He sighed and put the bowl down. "Well, you are 18 now, I guess I should've told you sooner." He said as he slid a hand through his hair. Kagome put her bowl down as well and turned to face her father. He took a deep breath and looked up at her. "Your mother was Midoriko." Kagome's eyes widened. "It's quite amusing, I remember when I first met your mother. I was in the field observing the workers when a giant centipede demon popped out of the ground. I ran away of course, but then I saw your mother in the air and shot it in the back of the head with her arrow. When she landed in front of me I was so embarrassed that she saved me instead of me saving them. Your mother had that smile on her face and asked to stay the night in the village. One thing led to another and you were born. After you turned five your mother left to fight off in her last battle, I waited two years when I heard that your mother had died to protect the Shikon Jewel." He said sadly. Kagome crawled over to him and hugged him tightly. "I'm so sorry father." He smiled and hugged her back. "Darling, I'll never forget her. You and her look and act the same." He said and pulled away. He pulled out a small box from his pocket and gave it to her. "Your mother wanted you to have this when you turned 18 today." He said softly. She opened the box and gasped. "The…Shikon…Jewel?"
SESSHOUMARU
"So what are the villages requesting my lord?" Hojo asked. Sesshoumaru stood a table with both of his hands on the table and glanced at the scrolls from villages. "Merely help for the harvest this year and protection, but it seems the demon race is decreasing rapidly now that villagers are defending themselves." Sessshoumaru said. "Is that how you got those scratches on your face?" Hojo asked with a chuckle. Sesshoumaru looked up at him and growled. "You will tell this Sesshoumaru why you approached that priestess today." he demanded. Hojo's rolled his eyes. "That woman definetly smelled different from other human women and even demon women too! As soon as she lifted her bow and arrow, her whole body radiated with so much power that I wanted to have for myself," Hojo said as he laid back on the couch "Besides, like 'em feisty and she was feisty! I thought she was that priestess all the other villagers have spoke of."
Sesshoumaru shot a look at him. "Explain." Hojo sighed. "You should really visit your villages and you'd learn a few things. Do you remember the Priestess Midoriko?" Hojo asked. He nodded. "Well, she married a man in that demon slayer village we were near by and had a daughter before she died. When they were done burning her, the Shikon Jewel shot out and darted into her husband's hands. Rumor's are that there daughter was to take her duty as the new Shikon Jewel Protector when she turned 18." Hojo explained. Sesshoumaru nodded and stared back at the table. 'Maybe that young girl I marked was the daughter. She was one of the three priestesses in the village.' Sesshoumaru thought as he rolled up the scrolls. "Where are you going?" Hojo asked. Sesshoumaru ignored him and tied his swords to his side. "Watch the castle, I don't trust my half-brother with command." He said coldly and left. Hojo smiled and watched him leave, "Don't be late darling!" he said in a girly voice.
KAGOME
Kagome tied the necklace around her neck and hid it under her kimono. "Father, I don't…understand?" she asked. He sighed. "I know darling. The jewel is supposed to go to the strongest priestess in Japan and since you were one year old, you had those powers and your mother would always play with you. You both once held a barrier around the village when your still toddler when we were attacked." He said with a smile. She put her hand on top of the jewel that was around her neck and sighed. He put a hand on top of hers. "I want you to go Lady Kaede and show her this, she will explain things to you that I can't." he said. She nodded and pulled her basket on her side onto his lap. "I want you to take these, hopefully you'll get better." She said. He smiled and kissed her forehead. "Thank you, now go before it gets dark." She nodded and ran out of the hut.
IN HER VILLAGE
Kagome carried her bow and arrows with her as she walked out of her hut. Kaede's hut was at the edge of the village and was near the forest. She straightened her kimono, which was purple and had pink looking vines going around the kimono, and began to walk as fast as she could. "I knew I should've changed into my priestess clothes." She muttered as she passed a few huts. "Kagome!" she turned and smiled, seeing her best friends. "Hey Sango and Rin, what are you doing?" she asked. Sango wore her favorite outfit as always (outfit from the show) and Rin, who was 8 years old, wore a lime green and yellow kimono. "We were going to go to a hot spring in the forest, do you want to join us?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded. "Sure, I will be there in a little while, I need to talk to Lady Kaede." She said. Rin cheered. "Oh! Why don't we join you?" Rin asked. Kagome closed her eyes and smiled. "Sure, why not." Kagome said as Sango and Rin began to walk with her. "I saw what happened this morning." Sango said in a soft voice. Kagome looked at her. "I knew I should've went this morning, none of this would've happened!" Sango said, hitting her own forehead. Rin giggled. "Your funny Sango." Rin said. Kagome put a hand on Sango. "It's alright, really. I know that even if you were there, they still would've taken him." Kagome told her. Sango smiled. "Oh, Kagome. You are too nice sometimes." Sango said. Rin pouted and hugged Kagome around the waist so they'd still walk. "Kagome is perfect!" Rin cheered. Kagome giggled as they came to the Kaede's hut. "Not too perfect though." Kagome said as they walked in.
Kaede looked up and saw the girls walk in. "Oh, hello there Sango, Rin," Kaede looked at Kagome and her eyes widened. "And hello Kagome. Something is different with you." She said. Kagome blushed. "That's what I came to talk to you about. My dad sent me." Kagome told her. "Sit, please girls." Kaede said as she sat on a matt. The girls immediately sat and faced Kaede in a circle. "My father gave me this, he said my mom wanted me to have it and that you'd explain it to me." She said as she untied her necklace. When she had it in her palm all the girls gasped. "Kagome, don't you know what that is?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded. "I know what it is and what it can do, and I know I need to fulfill the duty my mom once had, but I don't know what that is really." Kagome explained.
Kaede nodded and took the jewel. "Now that you are 18, I need to conducted a ceremony for you to unlock your new powers. The moment your powers are unlocked, child, all the demons near by will be able to sense the Shikon Jewel activated and will try and take it from you." She explained. "It's the Shikon Jewel though, I thought you'd need the priestess to use it?" Kagome said. Kaede shook her head. "No child. With the Jewel you can indeed make a wish on it, but anyone can wish upon it. Some want money, a wife, kids, to be lord of a land, or even take control of life and death. You must protect it with your life like your mother once did." Kaede said. Kagome nodded and lowered her head. "Come, let us conduct the ceremony before the sun is set." Kaede said as she stood. Kagome and the girls stood up, following Kaede.
************
Kagome fidgeted in the center, nervous as to what was going to happen. She smiled when she saw her father and friends together, throwing her thumbs up. Kaede stood next to Kagome. "As you all know, today is Kagome's 18th birthday. I'm sure you all are aware I'm not getting any younger, but my time in this world is coming close to an end and Lady Kagome will be the new head priestess and watch over this village like I have. That is why I called everyone, today Kagome will take her mother's place as the new Shikon Jewel Guardian and will be the new Princess Priestess."
The whole gasped and whispered except for Kagome's father. Kagome gasped and looked at Kaede. Kaede turned to her and put on the jewel around her neck. Then Kaede looked up into the sky and raised her hands. "Kami's, may the priestess of the shikon jewel be blessed with your honor and bless her with her gift, so that we all be saved." Kagome looked around herself as she began to levitate in the air, with a shiny blue twister formed around her, coming from the sky. Kagome then arched her back and screamed out in pain as the blue glow went into her body. When her forehead was glowing with a pink sphere, Kagome fell to the ground.
"Take her to her hut, she needs to rest for a little while." Kaede said as Kagome's father came into the circle. "What has happened to her?" he asked. "Her powers are seeping through her veins, she will awake in a few moments, but when she awakes she must lay down for a while. Her body will be changing, but Kagome is strong, she will be alright." Kaede told him. He nodded and walked to his hut. Rin ran up to Kaede and tugged on her sleeve. "Lady Kaede, is there anything I can do to help?" she asked nervously. Kaede smiled and nodded. "Yes, tonight take her to the hot spring and let her relax her muscles." She said. Rin smiled and nodded. "Yes ma'am!" she exclaimed and went with Sango. Kaede sighed and looked at the sky. "What a day."
