I own nothing! Here is chapter two, I hope you enjoy!

Kagome's POV

I woke up the next morning to Yuki banging on my door. Yuki was a sixth year at the academy and my best friend. She was the first one that welcomed me into the class, the rest had been jealous of me. Yuki despite being shunned by the rest of her class for being friends with me, stayed friends with me. For that I would be eternally grateful to her.

"Kagome, Kagome! Wake up. We're going to be late!" Yuki yelled at me. When I didn't answer right away she took that as an invitation to come in, which she did. I heard her walk toward me, then I felt her start shaking me violently. "Come on Kagome! We really have to get going. You don't want to be late for the squad announcements do you?"

I groaned at her, but got up anyway. "No I guess not." I told her. "Just give me a minute to get dressed and fix my hair."

"Alright, but furry up! As it is now we are going to have to run, and you know I'm very good at Shunpo yet." Yuki whined at me. It was true, I had been trying to teach her the basics. She was slowly learning, but it was still hit or miss with her. Even when she is able to do it she can only go a little further than she is normally able to run.

"It's alright I'll just pull you along with me!" I told her chipperly.

"Oh no Kagome not again. Last time you did that you almost tore my arm off."

"That may be true, but remember you got a lot better after that. You said is anyway, we'll be late if we don't' Shunpo there. Because somebody didn't wake me up early enough." I teased her.

"Hey! I am not your alarm clock. You have one of those you know, you should learn how to use it." Yuki pouted at me.

"I'm insulted by that. I know how to use it I just like you as my alarm clock better, you don't have a snooze button." I joked back.

"Oh just shut up and get ready."

"But I'm done already." I told her with an innocent look on her face.

"Errr. How long have you been ready?" Yuki was glaring at me now, she was so cute when she was mad.

"About the time we started talking about our Shunpo run together."

Yuki's aura flashed in annoyance at me "Grr Kagome! We could have left ages ago!"

"We could have, but then we wouldn't have been forced to Shunpo there to get there in time." I grinned at her then took ahold of her wrist and started running. Then before she could get away from me or protest I started Shunpoing, dragging her along with me. After a couple of steps she started Shunpoing along with me, just enough that her arm no longer felt like it was going to get pulled out of its socket. Within minutes we were back at the training grounds, and we weren't even the last people to show up. "See we made it in time." I smiled at the glare she was sending me. I couldn't hold it in anymore, her angry face was just too cute. I started laughing and in turn that made her start laughing. We were still laughing when the first group of captains and lieutenants showed up.

"What is so funny girls?" Shunsui asked. I looked up from laughing to see who all was here. It was Shunsui and Nanao, Toshiro and Rangiku, and Byakuya and Renji. Because I was in such a good mood I ran up to Toshiro and gave him a big hug squealing "Shiro-chan!"

"It's Captain Hitsugaya!" He yelled at me, but I was the only one who saw his smile and the brief hug he gave me back. I may be legally related to Old Man Yama, but Shiro still felt like my little, even though he's older than me, brother through Kaede. I finally let him go because I felt Rangiku's aura coming at me fast. I stepped out of the way, because her hugs are suffocating, but she ended up hugging Shiro instead. She looked surprised for a second, but decided she didn't care. She finished hugging Shiro then started to come after me, I had to Shunpo out of the way. I wasn't watching where I was going, I just wanted to get rid of the hugging maniac. I stopped when I bumped into someone. I looked to see who it was and saw Mayuri looking down at me with curiosity. I eeped then Shunpoed as quick as I possibly could behind Shunsui.

"Are you quite sure little Miko that you don't want to be a test subject? My offer still stands; two meals a day, the occasional day off, you'd even get exposure to sunlight once a month."

I shivered in disgust, Mayuri reminded me too much of Naraku for me to be comfortable around him, but he was still a friend. Of sorts. "Thank you Mayuri for the most generous offer but I think I'm going to have to pass again." I told him. "Plus I told you before call me Kagome. I don't have the best memories being called 'Little Miko'."

"Ah yes I've seem to have forgotten again." Mayuri said then added "Kagome." Everyone looked at me in shock, to be honest I was to. That was practically an apology from Mayuri. Shunsui looked at me, I was still kinda hiding behind him but I was backing up towards a wall.

"How did you do that?" He asked me. Nanao said "Usually only Head Captain can make him do that."

I grinned at them "I told him if he starts remembering to call me Kagome I will tell him the true story of my whole past. No experimenting though."

"True story?" Byakuya asked me.

"Well Mayuri found something out about me that interested him and he wants to know more." I told everyone. By the time I said that all of the Captains and Lieutenants were there and they all wanted to know what Mayuri had found.

"Ah yes little Mi…Kagome here is a puzzle I cannot wait to solve." I tried to lean further into the wall I was leaning against, but I can't go through solid objects.

Suddenly Kenpachi was leaning over me "What is your secret?" He asked me in a tell me now voice. "Kitty-chan! Tell me! Tell me!" Yachiru shouted from Kenpachi's shoulder.

I looked around for an escape, but all eleven Captains who didn't know my history had me surrounded in a half circle and I had my back against the wall. I was looking for a way out, but wasn't finding anything. I used my last resort, I opened my mouth and screamed "Shiro-chan!"

I heard Shiro sigh but he Shunpoed to me then Shunpoed out of the Captain circle. The Captains and Lieutenants were chasing after us. I grabbed onto Yuki, who had been forgotten in the chaos, and pulled her along with us. We kept running until we hit a dead end. Shiro sighed, so did I, Yuki looked a bit frightened. We turned to meet our mob. Then Yuki, who had head everything, blurted out "Why don't you make it a competition!" I turned and glared at Yuki, she was one of the few people who knew everything. Plus Yuki loved games, I was going to kill her later.

"What do you suggest?" Shunsui asked obviously intrigued, and with his Zanpakutos I wasn't really surprised. He loved games even more than Yuki did.

"Make it like a Captain competition. Whoever finds out the truth about Kagome first wins! The people who already know everything are not eligible to play. You also cannot get information about her from anyone she told her story to. You either have to get her to tell you herself or find the people who knew her during her life and ask them. You are not allowed to harm anyone though." Yuki looked at everyone with a smile on her face.

"Who knows already?" Shinji asked me.

Well I obviously wasn't getting a choice in this, I sighed again "Old Man Yama, Toshiro, Momo, Yuki, and Renji." I told him.

Before anyone could say anything else the first warning bell went off. My eyes widened "Oh shoot Yuki we'll be late." I grabbed Yuki's hand and pulled her past all of the Captains and Lieutenants. To be honest I think that the Captains had forgotten what they were supposed to be doing today. That genuinely made me laugh.

"Are you insane!" Yuki yelled at me with an angry look on her face.

Now I was confused "What are you talking about?"

"You just pushed through a group of Captains, while pulling me along with you. You didn't say anything to them or me." She huffed at me.

"Hey I told you something, I said we were going to be late." I smiled at her then Shunpoed the last sprint to make it through the gates before the second bell.

We stopped, making it back into the training grounds. We caught our breaths for a minute then she looked at me with a disgusted look. She was starting to scare me. Yuki didn't usually act like this.

"Kagome." She growled at me "When you pulled me through the Captains…" She paused giving it an effect. "I brushed up against Captain Kurotsuchi and I think he pulled some of my hair!" I couldn't help it, I started laughing. "What do you find so funny?"

"Sorry, but for a minute there I thought you were mad at me."

"I am mad at you Kagome. Didn't you hear what I said? Captain Kurotsuchi has strands of my hair! Who knows what he can do with hair alone." She paused to gasp "What if he clones me?"

"I'll talk to Mayuri and make sure he doesn't clone you. God knows one of you is enough." I giggled at her.

She smacked me in the shoulder "Hey I don't need that from you." But she started giggling with me. I was just glad she wasn't mad at me. She is my only friend that isn't fifth seat or higher.

Everybody fell silent when the third and final bell rang out. The Captains came out and took their seats, their Lieutenants standing right behind them. There was 21 of us graduating this year, there was supposed to be 20 but with my early graduation it bumped it up to an odd number. They try to have an even number in a class so there are always pairs for practice. Old Man Yama stood up and addressed everybody. It was a long boring speech and it was the same as it was every other year he gave it. It finally got to the point that Old Man started giving out squad assessments. I didn't pay attention much too where everyone else was placed, but I did pay attention when I heard Yuki's name.

"Yuki Akashi you are being welcomed into squad 8 with Captain Kyoraku. Congratulations." I looked over at Yuki and gave her a big smile. Shunsui's squad was one of the ones she wanted to go into. She smiled back at me and mouthed "Good luck."

I had to wait a bit more because of my late entry to the class I was last. I was getting a bit nervous as it went down the line, but finally it got to me. Old Man looked at me and I smiled nervously at him. "Kagome my daughter, you flew through the academy in only two years. With no surprise every Captain had requested you to join their squad. Most of them with different reasons. You had already requested not to be placed in my squad, so that was out of the question. I could eliminate some squads with ease, as you would not fit well into the atmosphere. In truth it came down to four squads, and in the end it came down to which squad you would fit in the best with. So Kagome Higurashi you are being welcomed into squad 13 with Captain Ukitake. Congratulations." He gave me a sincere smile and I beamed back up at me, Jushiro had been one of my choices.

"Now everyone you are now to report to your new squads and do whatever your Captain wants you to do. Congratulations to everyone today who graduated, you are officially Soul Reapers."

We had a short, very short, break so I ran up and hugged Yuki from behind. "Hey, thanks for being such a good friend. We may not be able to see each other as much as we used to be able to do, but we are definitely going to get together at least once a week. Got it?"

She spun around and returned my hug "Of course we'll get together as much as we can and hey both of our Captains are best friends. We'll probably see each other more often than we expect to." She stepped back and raised her hand, "Best friends forever."

I smiled at her and put my hand on hers "Yeah definitely, Best friends forever." With that we had to leave with our new Captains. I waved goodbye to Yuki as I ran over to Jushiro.

When I made it over to Jushiro I noticed one thing right away, we were alone. Jushiro's Lieutenant Rukia wasn't around and neither were the annoying 3rd seats. "Hey what's up Jushiro? Where is everybody?" I asked him.

Jushiro smiled at me "I wished to talk to you alone, I want to show you my special place, to welcome you into my squad." Apparently I was the only one that Jushiro requested this year.

I smiled back at Jushiro "I would like that very much Jushiro." I started to follow him, he was having a better day today but he still didn't look the best. I felt really bad for Jushiro, I really wanted to help him. At the same time I didn't want my secret to spread around. Demons still exist and they are always after me. Plus hollows are very interested in me as well, I learned that the hard way when we went to the real world to have our hollow killing exercise. I hadn't been paying much attention to my surroundings lost in thought following Jushiro. Suddenly I walked right into Jushiro's back as he had stopped. I looked around and my eyes widened in amazement. It was beautiful, a middle sized pond with swans swimming in it. Fireflies danced around the small clearing and flowers were blooming all around us. "Oh Jushiro it's beautiful." I told him with a smile on my face.

He took me to a bench he had obviously brought here a long time ago. "I wanted to tell you one thing first," Jushiro told me looking serious "While all of the other Captains plan on participating in the game to find out your past, I have no intentions of doing so. Your past is your past and you reserve the right to tell whomever you wish to tell."

I looked up at him and whispered "Thank you Jushiro." We fell into a comfortable silence when I had to break it. "Jushiro, now that you are my Captain though I feel bad keeping my past a secret from you."

Jushiro interrupted me "You don't have to feel bad Kagome."

I smiled at him "Oh Jushiro you don't know the whole story, I am going to tell my past to you for one simple reason. Your squad is mostly about protecting others and keeping a peaceful lifestyle. Well my life is nowhere near that, just me being in your squad could put others in your squad in danger."

"Kagome, I will never make you leave my squad. You can tell me if you really want to, but like I said who you tell is entirely up to you." Jushiro told me.

"Alright here it goes. It started on my fifteenth birthday so, five years ago now. I got pulled into my family's shrines well by a centipede demon. I learned that day that I had in my body was the Shikon Jewel. The Shikon Jewel is a very powerful object as it can grant any wish, but not without a price. The jewel was made by an ancient Miko called Midoriko. Midoriko had been fighting a horde of demons for seven days and seven nights, and when she was about to be killed by one of the three remaining demons she thrust her soul out of her chest. She pulled the souls of the other demons and in turn with those souls merged together it caused the Shikon Jewel to be created. The jewel got passed to a powerful priestess called Kikyo. Kikyo was killed by an evil half demon called Naraku. Before she died though she pinned a half demon Inuyasha to a tree, in a sort of suspended animation state. When I fell through the well I came out 500 years in the past. 50 years had passed since that tragic day. To summon things up I released Inuyasha from the tree so he would kill the centipede demon trying to kill me to get the Shikon Jewel which was in my body. The centipede demon ripped the jewel out of my side and swallowed it. Things got bad for a bit, but Inuyasha ended up beating her.

"I had gotten kidnapped by some feudal era thugs because they wanted the jewel, but their leader had been killed and was now being possessed by a crow demon. That crow demon stole the Shikon Jewel and in the process of trying to get it back I shot an arrow at it. Well it worked, only too well. My arrow hit the Shikon jewel and it shattered into hundreds of shards and they spread all across Japan. Even the tiniest shard could give so much power to anyone. Inuyasha and me started a long journey collect all of the Shards and to defeat Naraku. Only we didn't learn about Naraku until later in the journey. Along the way we met many good friends; Shippo, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, Myoga, Sesshomaru, Jaken, Rin, Koga and two of his pack Ginta and Hakkaku, Ayame, Totosai, and Jinenji. Our traveling group consisted of me Inuyasha, Shippo, Miroku, Sango, and Kirara though the rest of them were just good friends. Shippo was orphaned and I took him like he was my own son, Miroku's family had gotten cursed by Naraku to have a wind tunnel in their hand, Sango's entire village was slaughtered by Naraku, and Kirara was Sango's two tailed demon cat. We found out that I was Kikyo's reincarnation and an old witch brought Kikyo back to life by taking my soul and putting it in her, obviously I got my soul back though, well most of it.

"We traveled for three years collecting jewel shards along the way. Until it finally came down to the final battle. In the end we ended up beating Naraku with no casualties, which was a blessing. But then the Shikon Jewel, which had been completed decided to kidnap me. It held me total and complete darkness for three days, all the while telling me to make different wishes to make that torture end. To be truthful I was about to make a wish when Inuyasha came and saved me. I told the Shikon Jewel my wish was to make it disappear. It worked to the Shikon Jewel disappeared and Inuyasha and I went back to my time to tell my family that we had finally done it, defeated Naraku. When we got to my time though Inuyasha disappeared right in front of me, back to the feudal era. The well no longer worked for me, I was stuck in my time away from all of my friends that were more like an extended family to me. I became severely depressed for about three weeks, until I felt the pulse in my side.

"In a panic I used my ability to sense auras and looked at myself in the mirror, my aura was normal. But there was another aura coming from the spot that the Shikon Jewel originally had been before I got dragged down the well. That is when I learned the truth about my wish, since there is no such thing as an unselfish wish my wish also had its own consequences. The Shikon Jewel did disappear, from the feudal era at least. I was to carry the burden of the Shikon Jewel for the rest of my life. After the Shikon Jewel woke up again I had to get out of my depression because I had to keep my guard up at all times. Demons still exist, they are just extremely talented at hiding their true selves. After that I was attacked by demons at the minimum three times a week. That kept going for a few months more, until I saved that little girl from drowning and ended up drowning myself.

"I had thought that since I had died my burden would disappear, thinking that it would only exist for as long as I did. I was wrong, I can still sense the Shikon Jewel in my side. You've seen the report from my hollow killing exercise right? How all of the hollows came after me an ignored the rest of the group. They were all after the Shikon Jewel, hollows can sense the aura of the Shikon Jewel just as well as demons can. If a hollow swallowed the Shikon Jewel they would become even more powerful than the Arrancar that you fought. So here is what it comes down to, if I ever get assigned to the real world and somebody goes with me they will be put in a lot of danger. I am a danger to anyone near me." I finished looking at the ground. Jushiro was a very kind person, but I didn't really want to see his reaction to my story.

"What was it that Mayuri found?" Jushiro asked curiously.

"He found two things actually, but he thinks that they are one. He found bits of info about me in the feudal era and a strange Reiatsu surrounding mine. He doesn't think that a separate object is causing the strange Reiatsu, he thinks it is just mine." I told him still looking at the ground, but I now had a tiny smile on my face.

"Like I told you before Kagome." Jushiro got off the bench and kneeled in front of me making me looking at him. "I will never make you leave my squad. I am very proud that I can say you are on my squad."

I looked at him in surprise, I looked him in the eyes and saw sincerity and pain in them. In knew the pain wasn't for me though, his sickness was starting to take effect again. To prove me right Jushiro started coughing horribly right in front of me. Most of the time I can restrain myself from helping him, only for the simple fact I would have a lot of explaining to do. Usually when he has an episode there are other people around and he can get help. But since I wasn't paying attention while coming here I didn't know how to get back to squad 13 barracks. This time I just couldn't stop myself, now that he was my Captain I couldn't just let him continue with this pain.

I focused myself and held my hands over him. I haven't used my Miko powers in a long time, trying to get in the habit of using soul reaper powers, so it took me a little bit gather enough energy and gain enough focus. But finally my hands started to glow that familiar pink, that I had kinda missed, and I started healing Jushiro. I could tell Jushiro could feel the difference immediately, he stopped coughing almost immediately and looked up at me in shock. I knew what he would see. Me standing over him with my hands held out, my hands strongly glowing pink, while the rest of me has a slightly pink tint around it. When I use my Miko powers my aura becomes visible. Sadly my aura is the same exact color as the Shikon Jewel. "What are you…?" Jushiro started but I shook my head at him telling him to let me focus. After a long while, to be honest I think I stood there for a half an hour, maybe 45 minutes. But after that I healed Jushiro completely. I had planned on just making the pain be less, but my compassionate side the same one that made me save Mika came out, so I kept going and healed Jushiro. I couldn't heal him a little bit, only for the pain to come back at a later date. "What did you do?" Jushiro asked me looking at me in astonishment. "I don't feel any pain at all."

I smiled at him tiredly "Good it worked, I told you I'm a Miko." With that the world went black around me and I passed out. I really hadn't used my Miko powers in a long time and using that much in one blast took everything I had, I fell over loosing conciseness.

Please Review! Thank you everyone for the favorites and follows, but I still haven't gotten a single review. What did you think about Kagome healing Jushiro? I always hated how he was always sick, I had to help him. Who do you think Kagome should end up falling in love with?
