Hey guys! Thanks to all of you guys that reviewed! I really appreciate it. Anyway I'm really sorry for not updating soon but I haven't had any time to for the past couple of days. Today is the first time in almost a week that I have had the time to update my stories. Anyway thanks again to all of the people who sent me a review and thank you all for the encouragement to do another chapter.
I also promise to update again as soon as I possibly can, but it's really had to find the time to update with school and limited time on the computer. I give serious credit to all of the authors out there that update often and have really long chapters! I have no clue how you do it! But I'm going to try and make this chapter longer since a lot of you guys have been asking for longer chapters! Lol anyway here's chapter 4 and I hope you guys like it. Oh and please review and tell me what you think of it!
Chapter 4: If only you knew
"Kagome get your ass out of bed!" Sighing and I pulled back the covers. There was really no point in trying to sleep late when you lived with a family like mine.
I climbed out of bed and giggled when I caught my reflection on my mirror. My hair looked as if I had a bird demon sleeping in it. I looked at my reflection again and smiled while tracing the light blue demon markings on my cheeks.
I was lucky to have gotten my fathers markings. I really didn't remember that much about my father, all I really remembered was that he had the same clear blue eyes and blue markings. You see when I was just a little pup my father was killed. He died protecting me and my little half brother from a group of robbers that had broken into our house one night.
I remember that night like it was yesterday, even though I was I was only about 7 or so years old. I can remember the robbers yelling at each other and asking about something, and I can remember the sound of the gunshot that took my father from me. I'll never forget that night; it was the night that my father died, and the night I realized I wasn't just a dog demoness, but a miko as well.
Flashback
I had woken up when I heard a loud banging noise coming from down stairs. I got out of my bed and walked out of my window, there was a black van parked in our driveway, but I had never seen it before. "Sister?" I turned around and looked at my 3-year-old baby half brother; Sota; standing in my doorway.
"Sister where's that sound coming from?" I looked out of the window one more time before walking over to my little brother.
I wasn't sure what the noise was myself, but I wassure that if it was a robber, I didn't want Sota to start to crying and draw attention to us up stairs, who knew what would happen if he did. I stopped thinking when I heard Sota start to whimper. I bent down and hugged him, pulling him into my arms.
"Shh...It's ok Sota; I won't let anything happen to you ok?" I whispered into his ear and felt him nod. I smelt my dads scent and heard him walk into my bedroom. I could feel him looking at us and I looked up and met his gaze.
I nodded, understanding what he wanted from me. After he saw me nod he took off down stairs to deal with the intruders.
I looked down at Sota again.
"Hey Sota?" He looked up at me and waited for me to ask my question. "I need you to stay in my room and be a big boy ok?" His chest rose a little and he straightened up and threw his shoulders back while nodding, his expression turning serious.
I smiled, "good boy, and don't make any noise ok?" He looked at me for a second, confusion shining in his brown eyes, before nodding and climbing up onto my bed.
I glanced at him again to make sure that he wouldn't follow me before I headed down stairs after my dad. I heard a loud bang that was followed by something that sounded like someone falling. Picking up my pace I turned the corner and saw my father lying on the ground holding his gut.
Blood was spilling out of his wound and onto the floor. I heard one of the robber's yell something before they all took off out of the door. The sound of squealing tires reached my ears and I quickly ran to my father's side.
"Daddy!" I screamed. I was young yes, but I wasn't stupid, I knew that my father was hurt, and that he might not make it. 'No!' I screamed at myself, 'don't think about that, he wont die! He won't.' I trailed off and I looked down at my father only to see that he was gushing out blood.
I felt the tears that I had been trying to hold in fall down my face. My dad smiled at me but then began to cough and caused some of his blood to seep out of the corner of his mouth. "Kagome," I looked at him and felt even more tears began to fall.
"What is it daddy?"
"Kagome, there something that you need to know."
I looked at him, confused, but didn't say anything and waited for him to continue with what he was going to say.
"Sweat heart your not just a dog demon, you are also a very powerful miko, baby you have to promise me that you will never tell anyone what you really are unless you completely trust that person, promise me?"
"But daddy, why can't I tell anyone?"
He smiled up at me and I could see his once white smile was now stained with his own blood.
"Baby it's very rare to find a full demon that also has the power of a powerful priestess, and there are people that would want to take advantage of your power and manipulate it to suit their own purposes. You have to promise that you will never tell anyone about your true power unless you trust that person with your life."
I nodded and sniffed, I saw my dad smile a weak smile. "I love you my pup, my little Kagome."
My eyes watered with more tears, "I love you to daddy."
My dad closed his eyes and breathed his last breath, still smiling, and I felt the large hand that was holding my smaller one go limp. I cried silently to myself, so Sota wouldn't hear and come down the stairs only see our father dead on our living room floor. I sat there until my step mom came home and called the police.
I heard sirens and people walking toward me and my father but I still didn't look up.
All I could do was stare at my father's face, his once shinny black hair was now stained with blood, his blue eyes clouded, and his light blue markings were hidden under the bloodstains on his cheeks, but he still had a small smile on his face.
End Flashback
Even to this day I can still picture my fathers face, the only memory that I had left of my father was the one memory that I wished I could forget. "Mommy what's wrong?" I looked down at Ryuu and smiled, he always had the power to make me smile. "Nothing baby, mommy was just thinking that's all." "Oh ok." He giggled at me before running toward the door.
"Come on mommy Gran Gran said that we had to wait for you to wake up before we can eat breakfast and I'm hungry!" I giggled and felt a small clawed hand grab my larger one and try to drag me down the stairs so that he could eat. I giggled but didn't move. He huffed and wined at me, I sighed and picked him up.
"Let's go eat shall we?" His eyes sparkled and he nodded his head quickly, his silver hair falling over his shoulder. I giggled at him before walking down the stairs and into the kitchen.
My eyes widened as I walked into the kitchen and saw what was waiting for me and Ryuu, or should I say when I saw who was waiting for me and Ryuu.
Ryuu giggled and jumped out of my arms and into the arms of one of the people sitting at the kitchen table. My blue eyes met gold. The same pair of eyes I dream about every night.
"Hello Kagome." I blinked and gulped, "hello...Sesshomaru."
