Chapter Three

Kagome lay in bed fiddling with the Shikon No Tama, she didn't know what time it was, but her alarm for school hadn't gone off yet so it didn't matter. What was she to do with it? She could keep wearing it forever, and passing the legacy to her child, or she could try wishing it from existence.

But the problem lay in, legend had it that it had to be a pure wish or things would only get worse.

Again the problem was the very nature of a wish was selfish, you had 'wish' to have it, making it selfish.

She rolled over to look at her clock, five minutes till she needed to get up.

She got up and pulled her night gown off, then walked over to the mirror. She had white shine scars, pale pink ones, and bright red ones, they were ugly, she hated new scars. They looked all red and puckered, and they were hard to hide, old ones only caught your eye if you knew what to look for or if they were long or wide or just big in general.

What had brought this on was she'd been stared at for the rest of the last week, some stared because of her newly bared scars, or some because the grapevine had heard how her family was dead, and some stared because they could.

She was conflicted, she'd met Inoue-san last Friday at lunch, and that girl was innocent in all the ways that mattered, she may have friends that were darker and less innocent but she clearly didn't have a malicious bone in her body, but something about her disturbed Kagome.

Maybe it was the wide gray eyes similar to her own or the blank look when according to Tatsuki she was one of the smartest students in the school, or how little girlish she acted or maybe it had been what she was eating, but something about her was off. But being mean to her and avoiding her, would do no good and certainly wouldn't earn her any friends, kicking her would be like kicking a puppy. Actually thinking about it, that was a good analogy, she was cute, innocent, but she had teeth.

Her alarm went off, she turned around and turned it off. She grabbed her stuff and went to take a shower, once finished and dressed, she did her physical therapy exercises. Then she was running late, she'd taken too long in the shower, she grabbed some toast and set off for school walking quickly. She got to school late, as in after first bell rang, she got a late slip and walked in to class to give it to the Sensei. Misato-sensei waved her to her seat, as she walked to it, she noticed a new aura, it was a faint blue-white and it was distinctly monk like, the boy who owned the aura turned to watch her, their eyes met. Kagome only got more confused, not only did his aura get less monk like, the longer she watched it, he was also giving her a hard look like she'd done something wrong.

She watched his back the whole class, his power was controlled around him like a monk's would be but his aura felt more like a miko's. What was he?

During lunch her friends asked "Why had she stared so hard at Ishida?"

"So that's his name," she looked up at him across the field, where he was sitting and talking with the others with powers, he looked up at the same time, their eyes met again, Rukia stopped him from staring at her.

"Yeah, why do the two of you keep doing that?" Mizuiro asked sharply.

Kagome was annoyed with herself, how was she going explain this away? She had a sinking feeling that this 'Ishida' was not the type to ignore her lack of aura. "I don't know why, but he started it and I'm going to finish it."

Her friends seem confused by the hostility in her voice, she sighed, yeah that was smooth. Mizuiro raised an eyebrow at her, "So you have noooo clue why Ishida doesn't like you?" his tone implied he didn't quite buy that.

"Nope," she flashed a dazzling smile his way, she'd discovered if she did that to a guy she could distract them quiet well, and it worked mostly. Keigo wasn't going to ask and Mizuiro at least dropped it, none of the girls had been asking, they knew when not to bother a fellow girl, and Daisuke had been busy talking to Michiru. "So why isn't Tetsuo here today?" Kagome asked changing the subject.

"Oh he has the flu," Ryo answered.

"How did you know?" Chizuru asked.

"Because we live next door to each other," Ryo sighed.

"Oh..."

"Hey guys," Inoue had come over from where she'd been sitting with the others, Chizuru immediately jumped her, "Hime!' she squealed.

"Hey, Chizuru come on get off..."

Tatsuki got up and hit her off Inoue, "Chizuru what have I told you about doing that!" she screamed.

"Ouuch! Your so mean Tatsuki what made you hit so hard?" she cried sitting on the ground.

"Enough!" Kagome growled, watching this hurt, it reminded her of the fights among her and Inuyasha, and Sango's fights with Miroku. It reminded her of feelings of family and belonging.

Everyone sat and was silent, everyone was careful not to look Kagome in the eyes, all had a sinking feel that the first to break the quiet would suffer a horrible fate.

Kagome sighed, she'd upset her friends, she wrapped up her bento box, and stood, "I'm sorry guys, I'm not good company today, I think I need to go eat alone." She left, heading for a quiet place where she could wallow in her sadness, alone.

She sat against a wall of the school, no one could see her here, unless they leaned way over the bush or if they crawled under the bush like she had. Now that she was alone, she allowed herself to cry for them, everyone that had died that day, sometimes at night when she woke there would be a blissful moment of thinking every things fine, then the guilt would hit. It was so hard she could only morn or talk about half of her grief, no one else could hear about the rest, because if she let a name slip then the rest was sure to follow. She wished for moment that wishing them back to life would help, that it would get rid of the jewel, that she could know they'd somewhere, and some point lived the life they'd wanted.

She sat there crying, hunched up against the side the building, fist stuffed in her mouth to stop her sobs, she didn't want anyone to hear. After a time she felt like she now could look at her classmates and not start crying, she went to find a bathroom to clean up in, she got a few strange looks from those that saw her and in the bathroom she found out why. She had leaves and a twig in her hair, and her eyes were red from the crying, she was just glad she'd bought waterproof mascara, other wise she'd have had black stream running down her face. Just as she finished, the bell rang, she headed for class.

She sat down ignoring the speculative looks from Ishida, she would end up blasting him, if she looked at him too long, her control was shot from her little crying jag earlier. She manage to survive the rest of class, without embarrassing herself, she'd even managed to correctly answer the two questions she was called on to answer.

She walked home quickly, she needed to get home, she didn't want to talk to anyone. She walked through the store that wasn't busy at the moment, she stopped to beat Jinta up, she'd told him more then a dozen times since she'd arrived that she would not tolerate him picking on Ururu, but he seemed to think she'd meant 'as long as I'm not around you can pick on Ururu'. So she'd gotten to the point that when ever she caught him, she dragged him away by his ear and smacked him. Despite having been doing this for the last two and half weeks he still hadn't got it through his thick head she meant what she'd said.

Then she made it to her room, once the door was shut, it was like a weight had come off her shoulders. She set her bag down and changed into one of her long skirts and her new favorite shirt, it was long-sleeved and a sharp color of violet, it was strange, but looking at the color that was the only way she could think to describe it. She sat down at her desk thinking she should do homework, but couldn't get started. She threw down her pencil, grabbed her purse and left out the side door.

From there she just walked, she needed to move, she missed that about her adventures in the feudal era, moving, never staying in one place long. She'd been walking for half an hour when she found a small shrine, out of habit she walked in, it was just a small shrine, but it was a touch of home. She walked out thinking she'd found a new hobby, she would see every shrine in Karakura town.

She got back before anyone knew she'd been gone, and sat down at her desk, ready to focus on her homework.

Dinner was disturbingly quiet, Kagome had the feeling they were just waiting for her to be done eating to talk. So once she was done, she got up left the room, she went down the hall before silently doubling back around the corner to eavesdrop. Her suspicions were proved correct when she heard Jinta open the door after her and checked to make sure she was gone, before turning and shutting the door with a "She's gone to bed."

"Good," she heard her Father say, "Tessai where are we in preparations for the bridge?"

"We could do the last bit in a second."

"Good, good... Jinta what has the rate of hollows in the city been?"

"More then three times the normal amount, however none in the last three weeks have been Arrancar level sooo..."

"Hunn... that's odd I honestly expected Aizen to make a move in that time..." Kisuke trailed off, "The only reason I can think of for Aizen to have not yet made his move is that the Hougyoku isn't responding well to him... Which I suppose is both good and bad, it gives us more time, but it also means the time line we've made up till now no longer applies."

There was silence for a time before Kisuke spoke again, "Ururu please get everyone here so we can speak of this."

"When you say everyone do you mean Ichigo too?" Ururu asked softly.

Again with that name, almost everyone she'd talked to here had known him, and it sounded like whatever was going on was big and this Ichigo was at the center of it.

"No, Ururu he needs all the time he can get to train, he still can't control it long enough..."

Kagome listened to her leave through the other door, and waited to hear more but they remained silent. She continued to listen to her Father sip tea and Tessai didn't make any noise, but Jinta cleared the table, and left taking the dishes to the kitchen. They were quiet, till an oddly short time later she heard others began to file in, Jinta came back carrying, unless her ears served her wrong, a tray of tea cups, he passed them out and she heard eight or nine new voices thank him. But the next voice that spoke she knew, "Why isn't Ichigo here?"

That was Inoue, so it wasn't that far of a stretch to guess who the others were, Ishida, Yasutora, Abarai, Matsumoto, Madarame, Ayasegawa, and Kuchiki. But then she heard a voice she didn't know, it had said, "Why are we here Urahara?

The voice was cold in a way that sent shivers down her spine, he made her think of some of the ice based demons she'd fought, but it was a rather young voice.

"Your here Captain Hitsugaya because things have changed."

Well, she now had a name to go with the voice, back to listening.

"What do you mean things have changed?" asked a very deep voice, somehow Kagome was betting that was Yasutora.

"I mean according to the best projections Aizen would have attacked at least three weeks ago, but as he hasn't, I think the Hougyoku is not responding to him well as it could have, meaning it could activate a week from now or a year, it means things are not the same." Kisuke finished.

The silence rang, Kagome found herself holding her breath it was so strong, it was broken by petulant female voice, "Well, what are we going to do now?"

"That's why your here," her Father said.

"Urahara-san today at school I looked at the new girls' aura and found she had none," the voice that spoke could only be Ishida. Jerk. Couldn't keep what he saw to himself, Kagome was curious to hear what her Father would say.

"I am afraid I don't yet know why Kagome Higurashi has no aura, but I can say she's no threat to us."

"But having no aura is impossible!" said the cold captain's voice.

Kagome had fight to keep from snorting, idiots all of them. Did none of them think of her having hid it or even using a different method then they used? Idiots. Sadly the conversation didn't get much more intelligent or clearer, she learned three things in the four hours she'd eavesdropped. One the things that attacked her were probably called hollows, and two there were different classes of hollow and three they were fighting an enemy named Aizen.

In the end it didn't tell her much at all, that and for some reason Renji had stayed with her Father and needed to move back in, it sounded like when her Father learned she was coming he'd kicked him out to sleep at Ichigo's, and from that and how he'd talked about her, it seemed her Father didn't want them to know the true relationship between them.

Strange.

Kagome tried to toss her musings out of her head, and failed, at four, having still not fallen asleep, she turned off her alarm and got up to make breakfast, as today was her day to cook.

Making breakfast was soothing, it calmed her mind. She was bending over to pull something out of the oven when her inner-senses went crazy, there was someone concealing their aura behind her and coming closer.

She reached out, it was Tessai's aura, fine. He wanted to sneak up on her, she'd turn the game against him... She waited till he was just behind her, then she struck.

She spun, "Good morning, Tessai."

He fell back to the floor, surprise evident. He stuttered when answering her, "Goo o... Good morning Kagome-chan."

She smiled a bright sunny smile, "Breakfast will be done in half an hour, excuse me," she walked out to her room, once there she gathered her school work, while snickering. Had he just walked up to her and spoke, he might have had better luck.

She served breakfast, and ate quickly, she was going to run a bit before school. She'd decided, last night if there was going to be a war, even if she didn't want to be involved, she should be ready to fight in any case.

She ran, at first it was hard but as she got going, it became nice and nature, she knew some preferred jogging, but the half pace annoyed her, she would walk or run not in between.

At school she arrived early, she'd run faster then she thought, she'd expected to run slower because of her forced break but no, she was still pretty fit, she'd have to look in to joining the small archery club here at school, she didn't dare let her arms get rusty.

She sat down her desk and began planing her new schedule. Cooking, school, homework, workouts, archery, runs, shrine seeing, helping in the shop, and a time for friends.

Suddenly her time seemed all spoken for, she banged her head against her desk "Ughhhh..."

"Why'd you do that Higurashi-san?"

She looked up surprised, it was Ishida. What the hell? See, there, she'd done it again. Inuyasha I bet your laughing in your grave right now, making me swear...

"Because I suddenly realized how much I'm going to have to do."

"Okay... Look I came over to apologize for the way I acted yesterday, I had no right to glare so..."

She cut him off, "If your going to say sorry, I should too, I mean I glared right back..."

They laughed awkwardly, and the silence stretched.

Ishida broke first, "Look class is about to start so, I'm going to go sit down..." he left to sit down.

Class started and as Kagome looked around, she realized none of her friends were there, I wonder why not? She thought, but her question was answered. Attendance was called and Mizuko-sensei announced half the class was now out with the flu, so she said, they would review what had been covered. Kagome sighed in relief, she was glad as that would give her more time to catch up.

But lunch time came and she had no one to sit with, but Ishida and Inoue called her over and she couldn't say no without being rude, so she went over and sat with them. It was kinda awkward, Renji was staring at her and the others didn't say that much, and Inoue babbled trying to cover up the silence.

Finally Kagome broke the silence, as Orihime's babbling didn't count, "Look," she said looking at Rukia, Rangiku, Yumichika, and Ikkaku, "if you don't want me here I can go sit else where."

Rukia waved her hands suddenly spouting nonsense about not being awake, and of course they wanted her there, but Rangiku convinced her, "Look, we just weren't sure what to say, so what do you like?"

"I like archery, and hikes and chocolate."

Ishida perked up at that, "What kind of bow do you use?"

"Mostly short but I have been... well, I was trying to work my way up to a long bow, but with my wrist now..." she gestured with her sling.

They were all silent, before Rukia spoke, "Is it true you survived the murder of your family?"

Kagome felt her polite smile become brittle, and her eyes hardened. But Renji spoke for the first time, "Rukia did you have to ask that? And so rudely too, lets hope Byakuya never hears of this."

Rukia's jaw dropped and Kagome was surprised, he'd spoken for the first time in front of her, and in her defense. Then she wondered, "Who's Byakuya?"

"Her brother," Madarame answered as the other two started insulting each other.

Rukia finally seemed to lose the argument, so she turned and with false sweetness said, "I apologize for my insensitive question," then she bowed.

Kagome felt her eyebrow twitch, she hated false sentiments, it always made her think of Naraku, and his love of lies. But now was not the time, she nodded in acknowledgment of the apology, before answering softly, "Yes, the school wide rumor of my survival is true, as I told everyone there, it was pure dumb luck." She carefully took a deep breath and unclenched her fist, she didn't need to make herself bleed again.

She looked up from where she'd been trying to burn a hole in the ground to see the deep frowns, and Orihime's distressed face. She forced her frown away, "Hey don't worry about it, it's over with, and I'm almost healed."

Even as Kagome said this, everyone there was struck by the resemblance of what she'd said to some of the stuff Ichigo had done and said.

As one they stared at her, Orihime even looked at her hair, looking for the orange color.

Kagome blinked, they were all staring hard at her, "What did I say?"

Orihime laughed, along with Rukia, and Renji, Madarame huffed and Ayasegawa turned to look away, Yasutora went back to eating, Rangiku was the only one who tried to explain. "Sorry, we weren't staring at you it merely stuck us, that what you said sounded like something another friend would say."

"Oh..." Kagome felt sure she was missing something, and as small talk went on it accrued to her, the only other person she knew of them spending time with was this Ichigo, strawberry or #one guardian. As time went on she wanted to meet him more and more, screw staying out of it... Inuyasha, she growled, you have me SWEARING!

The school day finished up, and Kagome headed home to help in the store and make dinner. It was kinda boring only five customers well she was in the store, but the fun part was Tessai tried to sneak up on her again, and she did the same thing and he still fell over in surprise, man, did she have to work on not giving away she'd done it on purpose. Then the store closed and she made dinner. Well eating she found she was on the receiving end of speculative looks, it almost had her worried, the way they looked at her it was like they knew something, which was pretty much impossible as all evidence was burned or lost to time.

She shook her head, that was probably it, they wanted her to give something way. That would be pretty hard to do, as time travel was such a big part of it, and that didn't leave much evidence and it was fairly easy just to omit that part of her life now. Yes, that wouldn't work at all.

Everyone was now finished, so she silently cleaned up, she was leaving the room when her Father asked something of her, "Kagome once your done please come back here."

She froze briefly, then relaxed, she had nothing and everything to hide. Once she'd finished cleaning up, she went back and found everyone still there. She sat down awkwardly, it was hard to be comfortable when everyone was staring with a lot of intensity, she waited.

"Kagome do you believe in ghosts?"

What should she say? "Yes...?"

"Then..." her Father shifted uncomfortably, "Have you ever seen one?"

"No." she was lying to save herself it wasn't to use him, she told her conscience.

" Oh... You've never seen anything odd?"

That one was a little too easy to dismiss, define odd, were demons odd? Were dead people odd? What was odd? Was time travel odd?

She made sure to give him a strange look, "No."

"Okay, you can go."

She got up, and pulled the same thing she had last night.

"I am truly confused," Tessai said.

"I know what you mean old friend," Kisuke agreed.

"As am I. I thought your research said, any child born of a soul reaper and a human would have phenomenal powers." Jinta stated.

"Well, this is true, my previous thought was that if you did so they could be truly powerful, but you have to keep in mind there are only five children born of a Soul Reaper and a human recorded, any other births besides them, if they happen were killed before they reached a year old. So it stands to reason Ichigo gets super powers and his sisters and my little Hime are left normal, and my poor Souta." Kisuke sighed, "I can't say I'm not glad Kurosaki's kid gets the power, and she's left free and normal."

Kagome was almost choking, she was a half-breed! And she definitely wasn't free, she touched the jewel around her neck, she was bound to this thing, and normal was no longer in her vocabulary, it hadn't been since she'd killed that samurai...

Flashback

Kagome was walking by herself, along a creek, it was a quiet night and she wanted some alone time. Shippo was eating so she was without even him, that night.

But soon she noticed a commotion, it was a girl of maybe fifteen and she was fighting a Samurai in the bushes, if her torn clothes spoke true, he was trying rape her, now if she'd been smarter she would have had her bow with her, but it was back at the inn. And did her not having a weapon stop her? No, she opened her big mouth and yelled, "Stop you bastard, can't you see she says no?"

She remember the way he looked towards her with disdainful eyes that turned lustful.

"Are you asking Whore?"

"No. You must stop what your doing is wrong!"

"I don't care."

Then the girl under him screamed, "Run Lady, He'll Get You Too!"

He turned back and slapped her, "Silence Bitch!"

She screamed, once again fighting him, Kagome ran forwards grabbing him. He back handed her, she'd fallen back stunned, then he'd knocked the other girl out and come for her. She tried run, he'd swiftly over taken her, she fought long and hard till he drew his sword, she'd gotten lucky and kicked it out of his hands. He'd then began to strangle her, she clawed, fighting again, then her hands had scrambled over the ground looking for anything, she was so desperate, what she found was his sword.

She'd taken it and driven it through his head.

And there with his body she'd sat till the other girl staggering, found her, both had sat and crying together. Till Sango found her, that was when Sango began training her.

End Flashback

No, what normal girl had killed before sixteen? She'd given up being normal the moment she'd gone back to fight Yura of the Hair, even if at the time she hadn't known what that meant.

Normal.

What a laugh, she stole back to her room, hearing the discussion brake up.

She, despite the revelation of being a half-breed, slept well, it was like half of her had always known she was, it was funny and ironic, but it fit. She went to school and sat with the other 'Soul Reapers' at lunch and the whole time she had a half ironic smile plastered across her face, she couldn't hide it, it was so damn funny.

Today after school she headed over to the Principle's office to see if she could join the Archery club, she ended up trying out for it that afternoon because they always met Tuesdays, despite not having held a bow since that horrible day, she hit the center of the target and was enthusiastically welcomed to the club. Even more amazingly was after spending the whole afternoon doing Archery her wrist didn't hurt at all.

Once she got home, she was met by her worried Father, "Kagome, Where have you been?"

"Trying out for the Archery club at school..."

Kisuke's shoulders dropped, "Kagome, next time you aren't going to be home right after school warn me."

"Okay." She walked in and started her homework, it was Ururu's night for dinner. Dinner for the first night in two days was relaxing, Tessai told jokes and stories about some of the funny stuff her father had done when he was younger, and while the stories were edited for her they were still funny and it was nice to hear more about the Father she'd never known well.

That night she had her first nightmare, she woke up everyone, so they were crowded into her room Tessai, Ururu and Kisuke were standing right over her, and Jinta was back by the door. "I was dreaming wasn't I?" was the first thing out of her mouth, her voice rasped.

Ururu nodded, her face was white, Tessai and Kisuke weren't much better, Jinta wasn't looking at her but his shoulders were very tense, like he was fighting the urge to yell or run or do something violent.

She took a sip of water before asking her next question,"I didn't say anything did I?"

They as one shook their heads.

"It was just screaming hun?"

"Hun." Ururu answered, "It was scary Kagome-chan..."

"I'm sorry," but to tell the truth she'd been expecting this for a long time now, she was actually surprised it hadn't started sooner.

Her Father must have seen that on her face, because he asked, "You've had nightmares like this before, haven't you?"

She nodded.

"What are they about?" Tessai asked.

"Nothing you need to know," Kagome said, she'd told her mother some of what gave her nightmares and then later found out she'd given her mother nightmares, she hadn't said anything after that.

"We can't help if we don't know, Kagome," Kisuke said.

"Who says I'll let you help?" she asked, actually curious to hear their answer.

Her question had them stumped, she could see it, in all four blank faces.

She laughed, the dream she'd had was an old one, it she could handle, one dealing with the deaths of her family she might not have been so blasé about, but this one didn't bother her much. "Shoo, I'm fine, I'll study some before going back to bed," then she looked at the clock. "Or not," it was three if she studied for two hours then she might as well get up.

"Are you sure Hime?" Kisuke asked.

"Yes, and don't call me that, I am no princess." Kagome growled, she might have been OK if he'd just left, but now he'd annoyed her. The four left, Kisuke left last, giving her one last look. Jerk. She took a deep breath, that dream was pretty old, it was the one where they'd failed to drive back the undead army Sou'unga had raised, and the world had literally gone to hell. Yeah, that bad dream was an old favorite, the feeling of exhaustion, the pull, and the helplessness while the two bothers fought. It was a favorite, but not bad on the 'it haunts you while awake scale,' it was a mere two.

On with studying, then the workout, push-ups, "ugh." Crunches, stretching, and on. By six Kagome thought she might be able to sleep again, but it was time for the shower, it would help with the soreness. Then it was her day to cook again, "Ugh." Then on to her favorite place, school.

Today, sadly, did not seem like it was her day, what she didn't know was it would get worse.

Beginning of class was the same, all her friends were sick, except the Soul Reapers, maybe Soul Reapers didn't get sick, and as a half breed she had a better immune-system, it did make sense, she rarely got sick, her fake illnesses aside.

But come lunch time things changed, half way through lunch she heard another one of the hollows scream, she watched the group around her stiffen and come up with lame excuses to run off to fight them, now more and more were coming, it was strange never had this many come. What got weird was a few minutes after Yumichika, Ikkaku, Renji, Rangiku and Rukia ran off, their bodies came back and tried to seem the same, but it clearly wasn't them. Besides she could feel them fighting the hollows, it was very hard to pretend not to notice anything well Sado and Orihime fidgeted.

Soon it was time to go back inside and they hadn't come back, they were still fighting.

Kagome found it hard to focus on school, with the clashing energies outside, it was a fight and never before had it not been her fight, before when traveling she'd been free to charge out and win but not now, not here and it felt strange. She sighed, not only was she swearing, she wanted to charge right in. Inuyasha you must be laughing somewhere.

But then a dark aura of one there hollows appeared right out the window, Kagome turned her head, time slowed down. The giant white face looked in at them, From where she was sitting she could see the others standing up, trying to reacted as the huge fist broke the windows, reaching in for them.

Kagome couldn't let the few others here be hurt, she jumped up, automatically using her powers to move faster, she crossed her arms, bringing up a barrier as the glass shattered, she sadly could only shield half the class room meaning the others with powers were on their own, as they were too far away for her to protect.

Something punched her shields, she collapsed to her knees unable to see what had hit her shields, but she knew it was crazy strong to take that much power out of her. The smoke began to clear so she dropped her shields, some of the class screamed in all the smoke and were scrambling out of the class room, others had been knocked out or were even hurt, Kagome could feel the others fighting or healing as her senses told her Orihime was, but it didn't matter she was so tired...
