Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy VII or InuYasha, because let's be honest. If I owned either of these series, then I definitely wouldn't be sitting here making fanfiction about them.
Summary: She was born into the world with purpose; a purpose that would shake the very world around her and disrupt the path for Gaia that Fate had set in place. Her name was Kagome, and she is the blessed child of the Great God Leviathan. Watch as she washes away the tragic fate awaiting the Planet in her wake.
The River
Chapter 2
Kagome the daughter of the Edo village's fisherman and his wife was a strange child. She was quiet and graceful, opposed to the loud and clumsy children around her. She was a pretty little thing that promised to be a beauty comparable to the noblewomen, whom lived within the Emperor's Court.
Her skin was a soft cream, and her hair was darker than the night sky. But the most captivating feature she possessed were the bright blue eyes that were set within her heart-shaped face. The older generation in the village would always compliment her mother and father for their good fortune.
Being a part of a small village like their own, it was always their hope that their daughter would manage to catch the eye of a nobleman.
Well everyone but Tōshirō.
"Ha! I don't think there is any man (much less a nobleman) that is worthy of my little musume, not even the Emperor!" This he would boast with no shame, no matter how much talk would persist
He waved off their words and stated plainly that his little girl was destined for much more than to become some nobleman's wife. Kyōko, however, eyed her daughter with some thought. There had been one time when she too had once held dreams of catching the eye of a local Lord before she was married off to Tōshirō.
While she had come to love her husband and truly did love him, it didn't mean that she gave up on her dreams of moving out of their hut and into a proper home. Something that could very well be possible through their daughter, who already showing the bearings of someone who was born into nobility instead of the low class she belonged to!
The words of the villagers of how beautiful Kagome was, how kind she was, how regal she was…it just made her dream of attaining a better livelihood all the more possible. She had always craved for it, so why shouldn't she try to attain it through her daughter?
Kyōko allowed herself to get lost in thoughts of money, power, and of never having to work again. But she didn't take into account that whatever her plans were, they meant nothing in face of the plans the Gods already had in place for her daughter.
All the while, the couple watched as their daughter continued to grow and enthrall all who looked upon her.
Well this is the end of chapter 2. I really have no idea how slow I should go with the pacing in this story, because I can say that the urge to just jump ahead in time is a strong one. I think I'll do one more chapter of her childhood, one focused on Kagome and her view of everything before doing a small time skip forward.
Well, I hope you enjoyed it.
