Alrighty! Here comes chapter two. Hope you guys like it!
Ch. 2
It was silent. Not even the sound of the wind could be heard. The air was so thick that it could be cut with a knife. I was in shock, desperately trying to put together what Nyata had just told me. Sadly, my mind couldn't even begin to decipher what she had said.
I looked at her with an expression that clearly said I didn't believe her. "I'm…not human. Me. Kagome Higurashi. You're insane!" I giggled nervously.
Nyata just continued to stare at me calmly. The look in her face said that there was absolutely no room for arguments, and that she was completely serious. Slowly, my eyes became the size of saucers as what she said began to fully register in my mind.
I looked at her, her posture and everything, and realized that there was no way she could be lying. "But how can that be right?" I asked, softly, trying to remain calm, "My mother and father are both human. She has tapes of me being born."
"Simple," Nyata shrugged, "They are not your real parents. Yes, Miss Higurashi did give birth to you. There's no doubting that, but she did not conceive you. When you were still an egg inside of your real mother's womb an even happened that left her with no choice but to give you up. It was that or let you die."
That was a big blow. "So…so all these years…my mom, she…wasn't…"
Nyata stood and put a comforting arm around my shoulders, "I'm sorry young one. I know this is hard for you to understand. I know that this is all a shock and that it will take time to fully accept. But, my dear, you are destined to be the greatest being in Heaven, Earth, and Hell combined."
I quickly moved away from her as if burned. "What did you just say?" I whispered, harshly.
Nyata sighed, "You heard me Kagome. You are not human," she took a deep breath, "You are a Chaotic Angel."
Not knowing what a 'Chaotic Angel' was, I cocked my head to the side in confusion. Nyata gave me a small smile before talking. "I believe I have a lot of explaining to do."
"That would help," I agreed.
She snapped her fingers and two identical chairs appeared. She ushered to the one chair and I sat down obediently. After fighting demons and seeing some of the things she'd seen in the passed two years, a little magic didn't shock her anymore.
"Alright where to begin," Nyata breathed, "Hmm…let's see. Well let's start with your real mother and father. About eighteen years ago, your father was the heir to a powerful kingdom. He was a handsome, charming, intelligent young man. However, his parents requested that he marry very soon after he became of age. He took no heed to their request and eventually he found himself in the midst of an arranged marriage. The woman chosen was disrespectful, dressed like a whore, and was only interested in his status.
To avoid the marriage, your father ran away from home. This was a very dangerous thing to do because never had he been outside the ground without escorts, guards, and a compartment around him. He soon found himself lost in the deep within the Nymphs Forest.
That is where he met your mother. They fell in love. Nothing could stop it. Nothing could change it. They were soul mates. When he brought her home to meet his parents, he discovered that they had been murdered…in the only way possible to kill another in this world. The murderer had destroyed their souls. It was horrid for the now prince would have to deal with his parents murder and begin to run his kingdom.
He wasn't alone though. He had Lady Luna, his love and now wife. They ruled the kingdom, and it soon became better than it was before. Not long after that, they conceived you. You were to be born in nine months. See, even though they were immortal beings, they still had the bodies of normal humans and the functions of the human body. Therefore, all the procedures of the human body were the same.
Unfortunately, a great evil by the name of Shan-ra threatened the kingdom. To save you, your mother had to make the most difficult decision of her life. She had to give you up to protect you. So she did.
Soon after you had been placed in the womb of another, the evil was vanquished, but it was too late. You were already placed. There was no going back. You had to live as a human, in secret, until your eighteenth birthday when you would take your place as ruler of…Heaven, my dear. Your father, Lord Shinai, is the ruler of Heaven, Kagome. He is also the God of Heaven and Earth. Your mother, Lady Luna, is the Devil's Angel, and together their powers and love combined to produce you; a Chaotic Angel. No other has ever been born like yourself. You are to be more powerful than anything."
I was stunned into silence once again. It was just so unbelievable. How could this have happened to me! It was bad enough being the Shikon Miko in the first place! Now I'm some hot shot Angel and have no idea what to expect.
Taking a deep breath, I addressed her. "Okay, so say for just a moment I actually believe you, what do I do now?"
"Well for the next five months you would be under my watch as your training would have to begin immediately. I would give you twenty-four hours to discuss this with your family and your friends in the Feudal Era. Then for the next five months you would be here at your home in THIS time, and I would train you in your dreams."
I gasped, "How would that work though? Training in my dreams? And what would I tell Inuyasha? You know he wouldn't let me stay home for five months!"
"That is no matter, Kagome. Should the half-breed make a fuss, I will deal with it."
I looked at her skeptically. It was hard to believe anything this woman was telling me. "You still didn't answer about the dream training."
"Oh right," she said, "Well in your dreams it is a lot easier to train you because everything you learn in your dreams, you remember once you are awake. In the Realm on Dreams you will be taken to a training ground where time is slow. For example, one hour in the Realm of Dreams is only one minute in the real world. So, you could train for three days in the Realm of Dreams, and it would only be 72 minutes outside your dreams."
I contemplated this information, "I do admit, that is useful for training. It would also mean you learn a lot more in a shorter amount of time. But what about physical aspects of the training like injuries and body toning?"
Nyata shook her head, "No matter. I will teach you on your first lesson how to heal minor injuries. On the first night I will teach you all you need to know about healing different creatures and beings. That way you know exactly how to treat and cure sicknesses, illnesses, diseases, injuries, and so much more."
I smiled at the thought of knowing how to be able to save someone. I wouldn't be the weakest link in our traveling group anymore. "That's…pretty cool," I admitted.
Nyata laughed, "It is isn't it? After you've learned how to treat and cure things, I will teach you how to block and mask your aura and scent. Then I will teach you how to use your priestess powers to the fullest extent. After that will come your Angel training. That will be the hardest training of all. First, will come the hand to hand combat, then the mastering of all weapons, and then awakening and learning some of your more…easier powers. I will teach you how to speak every language in this universe, although you will probably never use more than a few. You will learn the culture and traditions of every species and race out there.
I have very much to teach you Kagome."
"Yeah," I sighed, "This is going to be hard." I groaned and placed my face in my hands.
Nyata wrapped comforting arms around me. I looked up in shock as this woman embraced me. "I know that it seems hard now, little one, but in time it will come naturally to you. You have no need to worry about anything. Right now, however," she lifted my chin and looked me in the eyes, "You need to get some decent sleep and prepare to speak with your family and friends tomorrow."
I nodded in agreement, not bothering to argue. I still had so many questions to ask her. My hesitance must have been apparent. "No need to worry, dear. All questions will be answered soon enough," Nyata reassured.
"Thank you Nyata. This has been one crazy night I'll admit."
"Indeed it has, my dear. But, all is well and all will be well in the future. Good luck with telling that half-breed Kagome."
"Thanks. I know I'll need it. Thank goodness for the enchanted beads."
Nyata laughed and nodded in agreement. That would probably be the only way I would be able to get Inuyasha to listen at all. The minute I mentioned five months, he was going to flip; more than usual too. All of a sudden I felt very nervous. What if Inuyasha made such a big deal and refused to let me leave?
Sensing my growing fear, Nyata spoke, "Do not worry Kagome. I will handle Inuyasha should he get out of hand. If you, at any point, need my assistance, just call for me and I will lend my help to you. You shouldn't need it though if you explain everything. Don't worry about that either. You have your parents and my complete permission to tell them everything."
I smiled in relief. That let me relax just a bit more. Not all my nerves vanished though. There was still the matter of actually coming up with the way to tell them. And what was I going to tell my mom! "Oh hey mom, just wanted to let you know, if you don't already, that I'm not your real daughter. I'm actually the daughter of the ruler of Heaven and I'm so amazing Angel creature!" Oh yeah that would definitely work; note serious sarcasm.
"Now that's enough for tonight young lady. It's time for you to get some sleep Kagome," Nyata ordered.
I playfully saluted her, "Ma'am yes ma'am."
She rolled her eyes, "Just get some sleep Higurashi."
I laughed at her frustrated tone before she began to fade and I was left to my own dreams. That night I slept really, really well, despite the fact I would have to tell everyone the next morning.
There you have it! Another chapter completed. Hope you liked it. I know it's not really as long as the last one. That'll get better eventually. Review please and thanks for reading!!
