I do not own Inuyasha or any other Anime.
Well Like I promised I have another chapter. I hope you like it, my head has been pounding all day so I really didnt want to write but I keep my promises! SO happy reading!
"How far did she run?" Inuyasha asked walking at a gentle pace, he didn't sense any danger or dark auras, he figured Kagome needed to figure out something about her past and she needed space and time to do it, a part of him wanted to run to her side, he had grown close to the raven haired beauty. But he also knew she was dealing with her own demons and needed to find her own way.
"Can't you walk any faster" Shippo pushed on Inuyashas hips
"Nope, My legs are broken and this is their only speed for now" Inuyasha smirked
"Inuyasha!" Shippo Growled
"What are you doing here?" Kagome snarled
"Now that's not a pretty face a princess should make"
"I asked you a question" Kagomes head throbbed as she spoke, every time she meet the womans ruby eyes the ringing in her ears worsened
"Do you even remember me?"
"I'm sure I don't know all about you but your aura will be one I will never forget" Kagome balled her hands into a fist
"I see your memory is coming back" The women opened a fan and hid her smile "it took longer than I thought"
"You did this to me?" Kagome touched her head
"No, I never get my hands dirty"
"Why are you here?" Kagome shook her head trying not to think of the pounding in her head
"That should be my question to you"
"This is my home!" Kagome stuck her nose up
"Not anymore, can't you see Daddy left" The women gestured to the forgotten den "He didn't care about you, so as soon as you were out of the picture daddy left"
"No" Kagome growled
"Can you not see? Are you blind?" The women snapped her fan shut "You lost and my daughter won"
"what?" Kagome closed her eyes "What are you blabbing about"
"Oh right, your memory hasn't fully returned… Since he chose my daughter I guess it would be no harm to let you remember"
"What daughter?" Kagome huffed
"This is getting annoying" The woman opened her fan and spun it in her hand, Kagome could hear the wind swirl around her body, Kagome fell to her knees and covered her eyes, the wind was strong around her, her body felt as if it would be lifted from the ground.
With a blink the wind was gone and Kagome found herself alone. Kagome stood was watched as a shadow flew over head, a loud roar echoed through the forest. Kagome watched as Fire shot out from the shadow, soon after screams and the smell of smoke reached her, Kagome ran back towards the village to see it burning, Families ran from their houses and watched as they burned, Farmers quickly released their horses and cattle from the barns so they wouldn't burn.
Kagome heart raced as she watched children run through the village screaming for their parents, Kagome watched as a baby no older than two cried next to a house, Kagome ran toward the baby seeing the house beginning to fall "NO" Kagome screamed as she held out her hands ready to scoop the baby out of harms way, but froze when she past the baby, nothing more than a ghost. Kagome looked back to see burning lumber where the baby was standing.
"NOOO" Kagome screamed as loud as her lungs would allow
"My baby!"
Kagome looked over to see a young man holding the baby, Kagome looked closer to see the man, his face was in a frown, his long silver hair blew in the wind. His sharp jaw clenched
"Keep a closer eye on your ward" The man spoke
"Thank you Sesshomaru-sama" The woman shook as she grabbed her child and ran away from the fire
"S-Sesshomaru?" Kagome stumbled as he flashed in her mind, meeting him in the study with his parents, having dinner with him, stealing looks while he stared at his food. Playing with him near the waterfall.
Kagome was snapped back into reality when she watched Sesshomaru transform into his beast "Beautiful" Kagome watched as he dashed through the woods.
Kagome quickly followed, she couldn't transform in to her beast so she ran on foot, when she burst through the cleaning she noticed her younger self laying on the ground.
"Kaori!"
"CHI" Kagome called back as she watched chi run toward her body.
"C-Chi" young Kagome reached out for her nanny, but in a swift movement Chi was thrown to the side by a shadow while another kicked young Kagome in the chest.
Kagome felt her legs go out as she fell to the ground, how cruel Kagome thought as she watched the dark shadow pick her younger body up by her hair.
"What have you done Haru" a deep voice rolled over the land
"Made your choice for you it seems" Haru stood and Kagome looked over the evil woman her black hair in a high ponytail, her ruby red eyes burned in her soul, her pale face turned in a smile, Kagomes stomach turned as she watched.
"You cannot make this Sesshomarus decisions" he stated with ice coating his voice
"Look like I did, you have no other choice than my daughter"
"I chose no female"
"I see, so you chose a male then?" Haru still had young Kagome in her hand
"No, Id rather become the strongest yokia in the land, I don't want or need mate" Sesshomaru tilted his chin "Let the little one go"
"See" Haru lifted young Kagome "If you didn't have feelings for this brat you wouldn't have asked me to let her go"
"I-I don't need your help" young Kagome grunted
"Brat you are not in this conversation" Haru extended her claws toward young Kagomes neck, but before she could touch Kagomes skin with her claw Sesshomaru was next to her in a flash grabbing Harus throat, his eyes bleeding red.
"I said let Kaori go" Sesshomaru growled his eyes bleeding red and his pupils flashing from gold to blue
Haru sliced down Sesshomarus arm causing him to let go, in the same moment she extended her wings and flew into the air, Sesshomaru looked up to see Haru hovering above the burning tree tops.
"I see, so killing her will not help… hmm.. ah but I know what will" Haru brought young Kagome close to her face and began chanting, Sesshomaru growled trying to form his obi but has yet to master. "Now" Haru flew higher lets give you a nice send off, Haru spun three times before releasing young Kagome into the air, her limp body flying through the air towards the west. "Now for you' Haru could see the aura around Sesshomaru darken and with a growl his feet lifted off the ground and into the air "Oh no you don't" Haru dived down grabbing Sesshomaru by the throat and slammed him into the ground.
"Bitch"
"shhh child" Haru voice hummed as she repeated the chant Sesshomaru soon fell limp as his eyes closed.
Kagome felt the heat of the fire recede as the image before her faded, Kagome blinked a few times for seeing Haru standing before her once more "You took away everything just so Sesshomaru would chose your daughter as his intended"
"A mother does what is best for her child"
"He was my friend" Kagome growled standing up
"No he wasn't Sesshomaru doesn't know how to have friends" Haru laughed "You were to be his mate, a breeder nothing more, But he was making a mistake! You are nothing but a mutt, a half breed. He was going to choose you over my full blooded daughter"
"How are you so sure he would have picked me? I only met him twice" Kagome was scratching her head "We were children, who makes those decisions so early in life"
"You have been away from your heritage for too long"
"and who did that?" Kagome touched her chin
"Oh oops" Haru giggled "But now that I found you and Sesshomaru picked Kagura I can kill you this time without him interfering" Haru flexed her claws and rolled her neck.
A cool breeze washed over the clearing and a growl echoed off the trees Kagome knew the sound and it was confirmed as a gray fox with two tails jumped between Kagome and Haru.
"I don't remember sending you an invitation to this reunion" Haru narrowed her eyes as the fox dug her nails into the ground, in a beat Kagome watched as Haru spread her wings and took flight toward the fox, their battle begun, Kagome watched as they fought, they seemed to be equal, the gray fox jumped pulling Haru to the ground and ripped one of Harus wings causing a bloody scream to escape Haru lips.
Kagome watched as the fox transformed into a woman "Chi" Kagome breathed as Chi pulled a sword from the holster on her back.
" I have waited years in the shadow, waiting for you to return" Chi spoke her voice raw and hateful, nothing like Kagome remembered
"Do it, if you think you-" Haru was cut off as Chi stabbed her throat and sliced off her head
"That was for My lady" Chi tossed the sword on the ground and slowly turned to Kagome "M-My Lady"
"Chi" Kagome cried as she ran toward her nanny
"Kaori " Chi wrapped her arms around Kagome and the both fell to their knees crying in each others arms
"I have missed you so much" Kagome cried
"My Lady I knew you would return" Chi sobbed.
"You waited all this time?" Kagome took Chi's face in her hands "Why?"
"I knew you would return, he spell couldn't have lasted much longer, it takes a lot of power to control the mind, she was weakened over the years keeping you and Sesshomaru in the dark"
"I'm glad to be back" Kagome held Chi close once more.
"OI" Inuyasha ran through the tree
"Another one" Chi stood and swung Kagome behind her back
"No, he is my friend" Kagome ducked around standing between the two
"You know her?" Inuyasha let the hilt of his sword go
"She is Chi" Kagome smiled as Chi dropped her guard
"Huh?" Inuyasha crossed his arms.
"It's a long story" Kagome shook her head.
"WHAT" Inuyasha stepped back "Sesshomaru was your intended?"
"I guess so?" Kagome said with her hand on her head
"I can't believe you were my half brothers intended"
"Half brother?" Kagome tilted her head
"Yeah you meet him Kagome, I'm surprised you didn't recognize him"
"Huh when?" Kagome thought back
"When we were hunting back in the winter, he poisoned our food"
"Oh, I didn't see his face very well" Kagome admitted.
"Why does this one keep calling you Kagome?" Chi asked as she brushed Kagomes hair
"well when I lost my memory I was giving that name"
"Ah"
"Whats Kagomes real name?" Shippo asked
"My Ladys name is Kaori" Chi smiled
"I like Kagome better" Inuyasha blushed
"Would my Lady like to go home, I'm sure your father would like to know you are safe"
"Home?" Shippo and Inuyasha asked in unison
"My Father" Kagome hung her head.
"Yes My lady, he has been so worried about you, he knew you weren't dead, So lets take you home" Chi stood.
"Home" Kagome whispered.
So What do you think? I know Kagura never had a mother or father but hey thats why its call FAN FICTION lol Sesshomaru will be making his appearance again in the story shortly... do you think that since Kagomes memory is back... maybe his is too? guess you will have to wait to find out hehehehe. Originally I was going to have Toga fight Haru but after some thought I decided he is better elsewhere *Evil Grin* I hop you all enjoyed the chapter and if you did leave me a little comment below, I didnt get many responses last chapter, I hope I havent lost all my readers from my absences...
Much love
