Wolf Daughter

Chapter 6

"This, Kagome, is the Miko Midoriko," Jiro said, pushing Kagome towards the lady. Kagome looked at her shyly, trying to fight off the urge to hide behind her father. "She's the woman that will be training you." Midoriko made a little bow.

"Hello Kagome," she said, crouching down to Kagome's height. "Would you mind if I gauged how much energy you have?" Kagome retreated as the woman's hands came up to her shoulders. "There's no need to fear; if I am to be your master, you must come to trust me first, right?"

"Yes, I suppose," Kagome said slowly. The elder miko put her hands on Kagome's shoulders. Inside, the little girl felt familiar warmth radiate into power.

"You may weant to get back Lord Jiro," Midoriko said calmly. Just as Jiro did as he was asked, he could feel the electric, tickling sensation of the little girl's miko powers. "I see…" Midoriko watched the girl fall limply in her arms as the power receded back into her tiny form. Jiro, at once, sprang to his child's side. "There is no need for panic, she is just sleeping."

"Ah, I see," he said calmly. He looked up at Midoriko, who looked puzzled. "What is it that troubles you, miko?"

"All I have to say is, you are very lucky…" Midoriko croutched down to retreave her satchel, and removed a small beaded bracelet. She chanted, and then put it on Kagome's wrist, wrapping it twice for her tiny frame. "She has more power then even I have, Lord Jiro." She said, looking dead on into Jiro's eyes. "You are lucky, no blessed, that your entire clan was not accidentally purified." Jiro's eyes flew open wide, and then looked at the tiny girl in his arms. The miko's words made him want to drop the child and run. Instead, he held her closer.

"I see…" was all he could say.

"I put the charm on her as a precaution," Midoriko said. "I'm assuming she will want to get her things together and to say goodbye. This bracelet is retaining her powers right now, so your pack is safe." She paused, visibly gauging her words. "She may be gone longer then 10 years… possibly 15 years…"

"What? Does she really hold that much power?" Jiro stated, feeling a little number.

"Yes," Midoriko said. "I understand she is pack, and do not be offended if I'm stepping out of my place…" she paused to wait for Jiro's nod to continue. "Perhaps, it would be best if she were to stay with her true kind."

"What..?!" Jiro said low, trying to restrain himself.

"I mean no offense, but you must realize something…" Midoriko said bowing her head to show respect. "There are different types of miko; and the type Kagome is, their powers are activated mostly by emotions. Their true powers cannot be harness unless they are under extreme emotional duress. Even with the most skilled training, she would not have control over these powers."

Jiro sat back, less offended, but still feeling worse then before. As pack leader, he had to choose; abandoning his pup, part of his pack, or possibly condemning all of his pack.

"She will come back; she maybe older and a different person when she does, but she will come back. I've already discussed with the elders what it would mean to have a miko in out midst, but they all came to the same conclusion as me; she is pack and wolves never abandon out kind, not without rightful cause."

Midoriko sighed, "Are you sure of this?" When she got a curt nod as her answer, she smiled. "Good, just what I wanted to hear!"

She stood next to Midoriko and Shiron; her belongings were packed and all was arranged. She stood in front of her large family, lead by her father and brother. She told herself she wasn't going to cry, but she felt them coming on their ways. Her father and brother walked to her, her father kneeling to eye level. He wiped her eyes and smiled at her. Without a word, he nuzzled her on the top of her head, a signing of affection and loyalty.

"Pappa…" she grabbed him by the waist and held him tight.

"This is not goodbye little one," Jiro said. "We will see you again. Make us proud, ok?"

Kagome nodded and turned to Kouga, but not before she was tackled from the side.

"Kagome!!! Sister Kagome!!!!", came a voice that she had missed the last couple of weeks.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome hugged him tight, smiling a little. She looked to the direction to where he came from, and there stood Lord InuTaisho and Sesshomaru.

"Be well on your journey, little one," InuTaisho's strong voice said. "We will meet again, this I know." He smiled warmly at the little girl who gave him a toothy grin. Sesshomaru stepped forward, gaining everyone's attention. He looked a little flustered, even though he tried to hide it. He looked at Kagome, his eyes piercing, then closed them and gave a curt bow. "Until next time…miko."

The journey to Midoriko's village was long, a good week long trip. They walked along a river, and of hills and mountains. Kagome still wore her wolf tribe garb; Midoriko told her she would wear the miko clothes once they got to her new home. Kagome felt numb the first few days; she would cry at night in her sleep. Shiron curled her large body around the little child, trying to give her some comfort.

To Kagome's surprise, Midoriko, or Master Midoriko, was a gentle, sweet woman. She also learned what a quick, tough and rough temper she had. There were a few travelers they passed that helped Kagome learn these things. The woman out of the group was pregnant; not to apparently so, but far enough along were it was getting noticeable. Midoriko had been brewing up a concoction for the woman's nausea when Kagome and Shiron came back into their roadside came.

"Ah, Kagome, you've come back with the water! Wonderful, can you please give some to this young woman here?"

"Yes Master Midoriko," Kagome said, walking to the woman. The woman, however, gave a startled cry.

"My Lady Miko, why do you keep the company of a horrid wolf whelp?!" the woman's husband demanded. Kagome ran for Shiron, who was sitting by Midoriko, and hid herself.

"She's harmless; she's my ward and will do you no harm," Midoriko said, her voice a little dark.

"Why is a monster a ward of mi'lady? If you need help to get rid of her, I assure you I can help," the man said, locking eyes with Kagome, who shivered.

"Enough!!!" Midoriko yelled. She gave the medicine to the woman, then walked to Kagome, scooping her up. For a frail looking woman, she was strong. Shiron glared at the offending couple. "I helped you, and fulfilled my duty. You will now leave for threatening my ward, Princess of the Wolf Clan." The couple paled, and left quietly. Midoriko looked at the shaken girl. "Never let others offend you, and always be proud of your family." Kagome smiled at the woman, and wrapped her arms around the woman's neck; she realized that this woman might grow on her.
