Chapter 3: Rules to obey

After Kagome had finished her breakfast they all pack up camp and continued they journey to the Northern Lands. They had been walking for a while, Shippo had long stopped walking and jumped onto Kagome shoulders. They had reached the Northern board line when they heard a strange noise up ahead into the clearing. Kagome ran towards the clearing worried that it could be a wounded child or something like that.

When she entered the clearing their in the middle of a bloody field was an puppy, he was a black husky with dark blue eyes, the tip of his ears were white. When she got closer she felt a demonic power coming from the puppy but it was slowing disappearing. Kagome wasted more time to help him, when the puppy felt someone near he growled and tried to bite Kagome.

After a few minutes of trying to calm the pup he had pasted out. Kagome placed her hands over the pup's body and let her powers flow through her body to heal him. Slowing each wound had healed but the pup was out cold, Kagome picked him up and walked out of the clearing towards the nearest lake or river.

Yoshi just followed behind Kagome with Shippo, Yoshi was at a lose for words not many royalty would help another Youkai. But his Mistress Kagome seemed that she would do anything for her subjects…she would make a great Queen one day just like her mother.

"Lady Kagome what are you going to do with that Inu-pup?"

"I'm going to clean him then when he wakes, I'll feed him and when his better he can do whatever he wants."

"Thank-you Milady."

"For what?"

"Not many would answer my questions, they just say it wouldn't be my concern."

"That's none sense I am happy to answer your questions…were almost at the river."

After walking two minutes they came upon the river, Kagome kneed by the water and she pulled out a cloth and she began to clean the pup.

"Mommy?"

"Yes Shippo?"

"Can I go swimming?"

"Sure sweetie…I guess we will be staying here for a while then."

Shippo took off his clothes, under his clothes Shippo already had swimming shorts that Kagome had brought a long time ago for him. Shippo was so excited that he could go swimming that when he jumped into the water he wet Kagome and Yoshi.

"Lady Kagome?"

"Yes Yoshi?"

"I am going to scout the area…would you like me to go hunting for lunch as while."

"Sure, that would be great."

"I'll be back soon."

Yoshi bowed then he left Kagome, and Shippo. Kagome had dried the pup then she made a nice soft bed for the pup to be comfortable. Time had pasted quickly enough Shippo was tried of swimming and when back to shore. Kagome had dried Shippo and he was taking a nap next to the pup.

When Yoshi had come back he brought deer meat. Kagome cut a portion for the pup and the rest she cooked and made into a stew. When they were packing up the pup was starting to wake up Kagome was near him, the pup was scared but he wasn't going down without a fight. He was growled at her and showing his fangs which anyone could tell he was saying get the hell away from me.

"It's alright little one, I would hurt you."

"Who are you?"

"I am Kagome, Princess of the Northern Lands."

"You can't be the Princess because your human."

"I am using an concealment spell, not many people have seen me in a Youkai form and I would want my father to see me first before I drop the spell."

"Why did you save me."

"Because little one I didn't want you to die…your to cute to die."

"Thank you for saving me…From this day forth I will become your loyal servant."

"I don't need anymore servant…but I would like to have another friend."

"I would like that Mistress…"

"What is your name little one?"

"Fang…Mistress."

"You don't have to call me Mistress Kagome is just fine…the fox pup behind me is Shippo, he is my adopted pup, and the wolf Youkai is Yoshi he is my bodyguard, but he is also my friend."

"As you wish Mist…Kagome."

"Lets go then…Yoshi, Shippo, this is Fang…he will be accompanying us to the Northern Lands to see father.

Shippo jumped onto Kagome shoulder and they began to walk, Kagome was seeing that Fang was getting a little tried so she picked up Fang into her arms. As night was falling they were closer to the castle about five more minutes and they would be their.

Kagome could see the outline of the castle as the moon was shining on it. The castle wasn't that be as most Lords or Lady's had, Kagome guessed that their were probably 5 wings plus the servants quarters. When they reached the front gate the guards just looked at the group.

"State you business here in the Northern Lands?"

"I am here to See my father Lord Kai…"

"Your name?"

"Lady Kagome…"

"Enter our lord will be waiting…"

When the gates opened the group walking into the grounds, their was a beautiful garden. They continued to walk to the front door, the doors opened and servants walked over to them taking their bags and the children away.

A servant took Kagome into a room then left, minutes later a man opened the door and walked to Kagome. He had long midnight blue hair which was tied in a high ponytail, his eyes were violet- blue, he had one demonic line on each cheek. Kagome knew right away who he was.

"Father?"

"My Baby girl I have missed you…"

He walked over to Kagome and hugged her, Lord Kai was happy to see his daughter again after so long of being separated. Lord Kai let go of Kagome and looked at her.

"Did you read your mother's letter my dear?"

"Yes I did…when I received it me and my son came right away."

"You have a mate?"

"No father Shippo was an orphan that I adopted him."

"That's good to hear sweetheart…since you have become of age you are required to look for a mate. As the laws of are land if you don't find a mate within a year than I will choice for you…"

"But father, I am on a quest with my friends to gather the Shikon Jewel, it was my fault after all that it broken."

"I understand Kagome dear…and I have something that will help you on your quest."

Kai pulled a buddle out of his robes and handed it to Kagome. Kagome opened the buddle and she saw a beautiful dragon necklace, the dragon's body is wrapped around itself but in the middle there was an empty space.

"Father the necklace is beautiful but it doesn't seem complete?"

"Your right it isn't…you see in the middle of the dragon the Shikon Jewel is supposed to be…before you mother died she made this necklace, she knew that you were going to brake the jewel and that you would go and put the jewel back together…whenever you find any jewel shards the necklace will react and the shards will attach to the necklace…plus there is a spell that will not allow any one to take the jewel away from you."

Kai placed the necklace on Kagome neck, when the necklace was placed on her Kagome felt a surge of power. The necklace was calling out to the Jewel Shards that Kagome had in her pocket. Kagome took the bottle of shards out their was a bright pink light. When the light was gone so was the Shards in the bottle, Kagome's hand instantly wrapped around the necklace. When she looked at the necklace in the centre of the necklace was the shards.

"I see what you mean dad…I think it time for me to go to bed…"

"Your right darling…Sara will take you to your room…"

"Where is Shippo and Fang?"

"They are in your room sweetie."

"Goodnight father."

"Goodnight Kagome."

"Sara"

Minutes later a servant came into the room and bowed to the two.

"Take Kagome to her room."

"Yes Milord…"

Sara bowed to Kagome and Kai then lead Kagome to her room. When Kagome entered her room Shippo and Fang were curled up together to kept warm. Kagome put on her night grown then curled into the bed with the children.

Dream

Kagome was sitting in a field of flowers, the wind was blowing the scent of the flowers towards Kagome's nose. The sun was bright and was warming her skin, Kagome knew that he mother was going to show up soon.

"Kagome darling."

Kagome turned to see her mother approaching her Kagome got up from her spot and walked over to her mother and gave her a big hug.

"Kagome sweetie how are you doing?"

"I'm alright mom…I just arrived at the Northern castle, I saw father, I found an injured inu-pup I took care of him and now he is my companion."

"That's good honey, sweetie I have something that I need to tell you, as you know I have been watching your friends and their seems to be a major conflict in the group."

"Like what mom?"

"Well the Hanyou has brought another miko into the group to help look for the shards in your absents…Kikyo I think her name was…"

"I see…he didn't wait long to replace me with that Bitch…"

"Kagome watch your language."

"Sorry mom, are my friends very angry with Inuyasha?"

"Yes they are, but they will get over it when they see you have accept the Hanyou's decision…did you father give you the dragon necklace?"

"Yea he did…mom when the jewel is complete, the jewel will be in the necklace but what will happen after that? Do I have to make a wish? Will the jewel lose all it's power? What will happen to the necklace?"

"First of all when the jewel is complete and in the necklace you will make a wish, the jewel will lose some power but not all because in jewel in your hands the power will never die, but grow more with time."

"Alright…are we doing any training today?"

"No Kagome I have done all the training I could do with you…your father will train you…but remember all you have to do is follow your instincts in whatever you do."

"I better go, you will be waking up soon, I am should that your father will be training you and I want to warning the training will be hard but I know you will be well…goodbye sweetheart."

"Bye mom, please mom continue to watch over my friends until I am able to be with them…and I will do my best training with father."

The sun was rising and all the servants in the castle were already working hard with cleaning making breakfast and training. The sun was shining on Kagome's face, Shippo and Fang had woken up and were jumping on the bed trying to wake up Kagome. Fang jumped on Kagome and began to lick her face. Kagome opened her eyes and immediately looked at the two trouble makers that had woke her up.

"Shippo, Fang I was sleeping it's very rude to wake a sleeping person."

"Sorry mom."

"Sorry Mistress Kagome."

"Now lets get dressed and have breakfast."

"Okay."

Kagome put on a black sweat pants with pink strips on the side, she put on a pink tank top then she walked out of the room with Shippo and Fang. They walked down the halls until they walked to a room that had two big doors. Kagome knew that it was the dinning hall, memories of her life as a child were slowing coming back to her as she walked the castle halls.

They entered the room Lord Kai was seated at the head of the table as Kagome, Shippo and Fang walked into the room servants bowed to them and continued with their chores. Kagome walked to the table she bowed to her father then sat down next to him, Shippo sat down by Kagome and Fang sat by Kagome's chair.

"Kagome after breakfast we will train in the dojo."

"That's fine with me…father I seen mother last night, she told me that your training would be very hard."

"She did…that's your mother for you…is she okay?"

"Of course she is…I miss her even though I see her in my dreams I would love to have her alive and well again."

"We all do Kagome…now lets eat…so we can train you."

They all ate in silence the servants gave Fang some cook ground beef on a plate. Kagome, Shippo, and Kai had rice and stew for breakfast. When the meal was done Kagome took Shippo to the garden with Fang then a servant came to stay with Shippo to keep him company.

Kagome went back to the grounds and headed to the dojo. Her father was in the dojo doing some exercises, he was wearing simple black pants and a grey shirt. When Kai noticed that Kagome had entered the room he stop the exercise and faced Kagome.

"Kagome dear what don't you change into your demon form?"

"Sure"

Kagome closed her eyes and she was surrounded by blue light, when the light passed Kagome stand in her demon form.

(a reminder of what she looked like, Her hair was to her waist midnight blue high lights, midnight blue shaped diamond on her forehead, two demonic lines on each cheek, Elvin ears and two long and sharp fangs. Her claws were long and on the tip it was red, her body was more fuller and muscular and black dragon wings.)

"Much better, you look beautiful, why do you hide you demon blood Kagome?"

"Well father…my friends don't know that I am a demon yet so, I still was in my human form until I would tell them, but maybe I should just met them in my demon form…what do you think?"

"I believe that you should but whatever you feel move comfortable with."

"Should we begin father?"

"Yes we should."

"Alright now Kagome, with you having some dragon blood in you, you have poison claws. When you want to use the poison, think about the poison, let it flow in your fingernails then release…okay no try it."

Kagome stood straight thinking about what her father had said. She thought about the red poison that was flowing through her body. Her claws were glowing red Kagome raised her claws then whipped her claws to the sides. Poison blades escaped from her claws. The poison hit the walls, Kai had run out of the dojo because he didn't want to be in the line of fire. When Kagome opened her eyes the walls was melting.

"Kagome you did good, I think that you don't have to practice using your poison again, you're a very fast learner like your mother…now lets work on fighting with a sword."

Kagome went to take a sword from the rack, the sword she picked was short, lightweight, the hilt was gold. She walked over to her father and took her fighting stance. She gave Kai and smirked and waited for him to charge at her. Kai raised his sword and looked over to Kagome he wanted to take it slow but he needed to know how good she was. With his quick speed he attack her, Kagome raised her sword to met her fathers the two sword clashed together.

"You have some skills little one."

"Don't you remember daddy you did teach me hand to hand combat and sword fighting when I was young…my memories are slowing coming back to me."

"Then that means I don't have to teach you much right."

"What getting tried is old age finally catching up to you?"

Kagome couldn't help but laugh her father looked mad, no he was pissed but he was not a demon that would let his angry explored because of a few insults. As he charged again at Kagome, she twisted her body and swung her sword and hit her father's left side.

She did a back flip to gain a few seconds before she attacked again. Kagome had a little trick up her sleeve, she raised her sword and slashed the air into the shaped of a star, and then he final slashed sent a surge of powerful energy and purification power.

They power was too much for any Youkai to take seconds before the ball of energy hit him Kagome put a barrier over her father and the ball hit the barrier and split to the sides. When the energy was gone Kai looked at his daughter never in his many years had he seen so much power.

"How did I do dad?"

"Kagome that was…amazing"

"Thanks…"

"The student has surpassed the master…lets go…we have been in here almost the whole day."

"Ready it only seemed we were training for about an hour or two."

"Yes well we have been training hard…"

"Sure dad I believe you…anyways I wanted to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Well I am an inu-youkai I get that from you but what about the wings, their dragon wings I know that but who in the family has them?"

"You mother didn't explain that to you?"

"Nope."

"Alright then lets go into the garden I will explain there."

They walked into the garden Shippo was still play their with Fang and when they saw Kagome they quickly ran to her. Shippo jumped on Kagome's waiting arms and Fang jumped on her shoulder and nuzzled her neck. She kissed both of them and walked over to a bench and waited for her father to come and join her. He sat down, and looked over to the sky and sighed before he talked about the pasted.

"Kagome as you know you mother was a miko, in her blood line your mother's great, great grandmother I believe was a dragon Youkai or half I'm not sure exactly. You mother had some dragon blood in her but with her miko energy it subdued her dragon blood. But when she gave birth to you, you were a truly different youkai, your mother and I thought that you were going to be a hanyou but the miko blood in your mother made you full youkai. You didn't have any wings when you were born but after you turned one they grew in sometimes when inu-youkai grow a tail when they turn one…I hope that what I said had answered your question."

"It did…"

"Lets go back into the castle?"

"Yes lets…"

They all headed back to the castle, Kagome was tired and she could only image that Shippo and Fang were because they were slowing dozing off. Kagome was deep in thought she wanted to stay a bit longer but she did have to go and meet up with the group and start shard hunting.

Maybe if the group was around the Northern lands she could send a messenger to send them over to the castle. Whatever she was going to do would have to wake until she woke up in the morning. She told her father good night and headed off to her room. When Kagome was done bathing she dropped onto her bed and fell sleep. The two little ones curled up to Kagome for warmth.
