Chapter 3 of A Little Twist in the Prophesy
Okay guys this is where the twist in the prophesy occurs. So I hope you enjoy.
When Kagome awoke the next morning she was surprised to see Sesshomaru resting in the tree above her. Standing up she
decided to start making breakfast, so she walked over and poked the fire up, then gathered her materials and the eggs she would
cook along with pancakes. When she was almost done everyone had awaken from the smell of food in the air.
--
After everyone had eaten Kagome and Sango went to the stream to clean up the dishes. Once finished they headed back to the hill
where the others were sitting and Kagome announced that she was going home.
--
Turning Kagome started to walk in the direction of the well when Inuyasha spoke up asking her when she would be returning.
--
"In a day or two, tomorrow is my birthday and I was hoping to celebrate with my family."
--
"Why didn't you tell us that tomorrow is your birthday?" asked the original group in unison.
--
"It kind of slipped my mind until just now." She replied a little sheepishly.
--
"Oh, okay Kagome, why don't you come back tomorrow around midday to where we can celebrate for you to?" asked Sango.
--
"Okay Sango I'll try to make it back by midday then." Replied Kagome with a smile.
--
After she left Sesshomaru slipped away from the camp unnoticed to investigate where she had come from. He was shocked when
he saw her jump into the well and disappear without a trace. Walking over to the well he looked and sniffed around trying to figure
it out, finding nothing he went and hid in a nearby tree.
-----------------------------------
Climbing out of the well Kagome walked over to her home and went in. Seeing her mother's head pop out from around the corner
she said "Hey mom."
--
"Hi Kagome, how was your time in the feudal era?" questioned her mom.
--
"Oh it was fine, we didn't find any shards though and Inuyasha's older brother, Sesshomaru, asked to join our group yesterday."
--
"Did you let him?"
--
"Yeah but Inuyasha isn't happy about it."
--
"Kagome I have something I need to tell you before your birthday tomorrow."
--
"Okay mom, if you want to you can tell me after I take a nice hot shower."
--
"That's fine dear." Replied her mother with a smile knowing how much she missed her hot showers here.
-------------------------
Kagome went upstairs to her room and walked over to her dresser to grab some clean clothes. She pulled out a denim skirt and a
pink tank top, along with a bra and panties. She then walked across the hall to the bathroom and proceeded to shower. After her
shower she went back downstairs and located her mother asking "What is it you needed to tell me mom?"
--
"Sit down Kagome, this may come as a bit of a shock to you."
--
Looking at her mother worriedly she asked "Did something happen to Gramps or Souta?"
--
"No dear, it has to do with you turning seventeen tomorrow, and the changes you will be going through."
--
"Okay, what do you mean by changes?"
--
"Kagome I'm not your real birthmother, wait let me finish." She said as she held up a hand to stop any comments. "Your real
mother left you in my care to keep you safe from those that would harm you. She was a powerful dog demoness with vast miko
powers and your father was just a minor dog demon, but your mother loved him anyways. She used almost all of her power
protecting you and giving you the appearance of a human miko, then she sent to safety before she was killed alongside your father.
Tomorrow the spell that covered your demon attributes will disappear leaving you as a demoness miko. I would love for you to stay
and celebrate with us tomorrow, but the changes you will undergo will cause your friends the inability to recognize you. So we will
celebrate your birthday today and you can leave tonight for the feudal era."
--
Kagome was to stunned to say anything for several minutes , her world had just been turned completely upside down. Gathering her
thoughts she said "Is Souta my real brother or is he your child mom?"
--
"No, you were their only child sweetheart, he is my son. I will always love you as though you were mine by blood Kagome. I hope
you don't hate me for not telling you this sooner." she said sadly.
--
"I could never hate you, you're my mother in every way but blood." Replied Kagome as she gave her a hug.
--
Kagome heard the door shut followed by her grandpa and Souta singing happy birthday. Looking up she saw them carrying a
chocolate cake with candles in it to where they sat. Setting it down on the table they finished the song and said in unison "Make a
wish Kagome"
--
Closing her eyes she wished for acceptance back into the group after her changes and then blew the candles out. She cut the first
slice and they all got a piece of the cake and began to eat.
--
After her mother finished her slice she stood and said "We have something for you left by your parents, and I also have a present
for you." then disappeared into her room. She came out carrying a beautiful mahogany colored box and another smaller pine box,
handing them to Kagome she said "I hope you like them dear."
--
Kagome opened the large mahogany box first and gasped at what lay inside of it. Inside was a beautifully designed sword that had a
cherry blossom design on the scabbard, when she slid the sword out, she gasped again the blade had a fine detailed picture of a dog
demon in true form with sakura flowers decorating the sword just below the hilt. She placed it back in its box and opened the other
gift, it was a dagger with a flowering vine pattern etched over the blade and a dark sapphire set at the end of the grip. Looking at
her mother with tears in her eyes she gave her a big hug and said "thank you so much mom."
--
"The sword was your mothers and I picked up the dagger long ago. I do not know what powers either hold but both are powerful.
Souta has a gift for you as well Kagome."
--
Souta walked up to Kagome and handed her a black gift box with a red ribbon tied around it. Kagome opened it and was awed by
the beautiful blue silk kimono inside, holding it up she saw a beautiful butterfly pattern on it with sakura flowers at the end of the
sleeves. Thanking them all for their wonderful presents she went upstairs to pack her stuff to leave. When it was almost time for her
to leave she put on the kimono and slid the sword and dagger into her obi and headed down to tell everyone bye. Her mother was
proud of how breathtaking her adopted daughter looked in the kimono, she grabbed her camera and started snapping pictures of
her before she left.
--
She climbed out of the well in feudal Japan and made her way to the village.
--
Sesshomaru was amazed when he saw Kagome climb out of the well wearing a kimono and her new weapons. He leapt out of the
tree and followed a little distance behind her after masking his aura. When he reached the others she was already there being
praised and inspected by Sango, so he slipped back into his tree unnoticed.
--
"Your back early, I thought you were going to be back tomorrow. Why do you have a sword and dagger?" asked Sango.
--
"It's a long story guys, and you'll see why I have these tomorrow. I found out that my mother wasn't really my birthmother and the
sword was left to me by my real parents for my seventeenth birthday. The dagger my adopted mother picked up a long time ago
and my brother bought me this kimono. She told me that I needed to come back here before tomorrow because I'm going to
change drastically, starting at midnight my body will change as well as my appearance and scent. Turns out my mother was a
powerful dog demoness with vast miko powers and she died protecting me, she be-spelled me to look and smell human which will
disappear at midnight tonight. Mom sent me back so that you would not be shocked if I returned differently tomorrow, she didn't
want you to mistake me as someone else. Any questions?" Kagome asked as she glanced around at the surprised looks that her
friends wore.
--
Sesshomaru wasn't sure what to think about her, but the girl of prophesy was said to be a miko, it never mentioned being a
demoness. We shall have her then. No beast I think not, she is supposed to save the life of a demon and then be saved, only
to fall in love with each other. I will not interfere with the prophesy. What if that demon is you? And that sword holds
much power, do you feel it? Yes I know it is powerful and so is the dagger. When she changes are you going to train her in
the use of her powers and the weapons she carries? I will only offer her beast, now let me be. He decided to watch her over
night and see her changes as they occurred.
--
Everyone in the group prepared for bed except Kagome who stayed by the fire awaiting her changes to occur. When everyone was
asleep she stood and walked to the stream. Finding a flat bolder at the waters edge she sat down and dangled her feet in the water,
while she looked at the stars that glittered in the sky. As she sat and watched she felt Sesshomaru approach her and sit down next
to her. She looked over to him and asked "What is your reason for joining our group?"
--
"There is a prophesy among the wolves and foxes about a miko that will come to rid the world of evil, she will travel with a group of
four and a firecat. The entire group will be ones who have had bad experiences with this evil being. Later her small group would be
joined by three more and a dragon. They would travel together to fight and eradicate a great evil being. The miko will save the life of
a great demon, and he will save hers. Someday they are said to fall in love with each other. I believe the miko prophesized about is
you, that is why I asked to join your group."
--
"Oh" was all she could say. "I guess that the prophesy does fit my group, but I'm not that strong."
--
"Did you forget what you told us earlier? I can sense the power in you, it should emerge with your change completed. Although I do
say I wasn't expecting the miko to be a demoness."
--
"You can sense my power?"
--
"Yes miko I can sense your power and that of your new weapons. I would also train your new abilities if you would like and teach
you how to wield your sword with ease in battle, if you would like me to that is."
--
"Wow, being trained by you, that would be considered an honor wouldn't it?
--
"Yes I will train you if you would like, and considering that I would train no one other than the heir that I have yet to produce then
yes it is also an honor to be trained by me."
--
She glanced back at the sky and her breath caught at the sight that beheld her. Their were hundreds of shooting stars in the sky and
it was a magnificent sight to behold. "Look at the sky Sesshomaru, isn't it just beautiful?"
--
"Hn" was his reply as he thought Not as beautiful as you are little one.
--------------------------------
Midnight
Kagome felt the changes begin as she was lying on her back watching the shooting stars as they slowly reduced in numbers, into a
light trickle. Looking over at the silent demon next to her she said "It has begun."
--
Glancing over at her he nearly fell over from surprise, his eyes were wide open taking in the changes that were occurring to her face.
It was becoming thinner and more elegant looking her ears were elongating and sharpening into points, and three deep blue stripes
appeared on each cheek, her eyes became an ocean blue color, as a star appeared on her forehead, her hair lengthen and picked
up blue tones, her fangs elongated as her lips plumped up. Then he looked down her body and was amazed as it became longer and
leaner looking under her kimono, her breasts became larger, and her claws were the last change. Amazingly the kimono only fit her
body better than it had when she first put it on. Then he felt it, her powers were almost frightening to him, her aura was enormous
and his beast nearly gained control to face the threatening powers it felt. She's so strong, I'm impressed by her power and god is
she gorgeous. And very sexy looking to boot. Yes that to Will you try to take her as a mate? No I can't interfere with the
prophesy or it might cause the end of the world as we all know it, but I would love to have her. I will only look though
never touch, her destined love will be a lucky demon to have such a powerful prize. "Kagome I think it's done now, would
you like to learn how to control your demonic aura now?"
--
"Sure Sesshomaru, god I feel amazing, how do I look?"
--
"Like a demoness" he replied as he whispered so softly he thought she wouldn't hear him "absolutely stunning."
--
Kagome smiled when she heard the last bit, she was certain she was not meant to hear that part so she didn't say anything about it.
Smiling she stood and offered him her delicate looking hand, he grabbed it and she helped him to his feet. "Okay how do we start
training my aura?"
--
Sesshomaru explained everything to her as he showed her what to do using his own aura. After three tries she was able to do
everything he asked her to with her aura perfectly. Smiling inwardly he said "Good you accomplished that quicker than most
demons I've seen. Would you like to learn something else before morning?" he asked as he thought She will make someone a
wonderful mate one day and she learned that quicker than I had. Where it took her three tries it took me eight, I hope she
learns the other things just as quickly and efficiently as she did this.
--
"Yes we can continue, what will you teach me now?"
--
"How about summoning your demonic cloud and flying?"
--
"Really? I would love to learn how to fly Sesshomaru!" she said excitedly.
--
"Okay remember how you control your aura and summon it into a cloud under your feet. Once it forms try floating it a few feet in
the air, when you get the hang of hovering in one place for several minutes we will go for a short ride in the sky to teach you
control."
--
He was yet again amazed with her progress. It only took her once to get the hang of forming the cloud and two tries at hovering for
ten minutes, before they were flying through the sky just above the trees. She was flying like she had been doing it all her life and it
pleased him greatly. When they landed he said "That will be all for now, we will practice sword fighting in the morning after
breakfast. I am happy with your current progress, you would be any instructors dream with how quickly you have learned those
two lessons. I hope you will learn the rest as quickly, because I look forward to mock battles with you. You may prove to be a
good challenge once fully trained miko. Now let's go back to camp and get some rest for tomorrows lessons." He summoned his
demonic cloud and gestured for her to do the same and follow, setting down at the edge of the firelight.
