Chapter 21:
She looked around at the castle "we should spend the next few years to restore this place…" she said, longing in her voice.
Everyone paniced when they felt immense power bearing down on them and kagome seeing this started laughing.
"WHAT THE HELLS WRONG WITH YOU KAGOME!" kisame yelled out.
"kagome, this is urgent, it may be the hidden leaf" madara said quietly.
Suddenly the doors burst open and kagomes copies came in.
She smiled at them "don't worry guys, my copies were just coming back. I had them take everything with them from the commercial district." Everyone sweat dropped.
She looked at her copies and sighed "we can set them up in a town on ground level" she said as she made shadow clones and said "go check the library, archives, tower, crystal, dungeons and wings" she said and everyone watched as hundreds of kagomes rushed down varrious hallways and stairways.
"why is this place so big hn?" diedara said in wonder.
Kagome looked up at the high ceiling and spacious floor before transforming to her demon form.
She snickered when tobi wet his pants and madara put his face in his hands.
Itachi took a step back, kisame drew samehada and diedara got ready to make explosives. Sasori put his face in his hands.
Kagome said lightly "this is why" she looked at the vast amount of room left "it is designed for demons"
"DEMONS!?" everyone yelled out.
Kagome turned back to her humanoid form and nodded "once my clones are back from restoring the places I set them upon I will show you the library and I will have you guys spend time reading." Everyone nodded.
They didn't want to push for more information after kagomes little demonstration.
Kagome sighed happily, it seems her clones checked every room.
Suddenly they appeared before the group "report"
One kagome stepped forward, shock on her face. "everythings fine and accounted for. Its as if time hasn't touched this place. As if the absence of people didn't affect it." Suddenly kagome jumped into the air cheering and the other kagomes joined in.
Madara was on the ground whimpering while he was covering his ears.
Itachi cleared his throat loudly and the cheering ceased.
The original looked at madara "MATE!" her and her clones tackled madara to make sure he was fine.
Screaming was ecoing down the halls as hidan fell over laughing.
Kagome dispersed her clones, their memories coming to her and she sighed happily. Before glaring at the last remaining akatsuki "come, I will show you to the library and put you under a incantation so that you will not require sleep, food or other bodily needs until you have read. Every. Last. One of them." Everyone shuddered but followed kagome down a series of halls.
What did they get themselves into?
Kagome giggled happily when she heard their gasps as the doors to the library opened.
The place was huge….
She smiled happily, the library of the western lands was the biggest out of all the other lords. They never cared for knowledge, only power. She made sure sesshomaru and herself collected all this. Shes even recovered and restored scrolls and books.
She walked towards one of the many tables and caressed the top lovingly. 'I wonder if sesshomaru is watching us now, his probably mad at me for bringing in the akatsuki here' she thought fondly.
she knew sesshomaru always hated when anyone but her stepped into his sanctuary that was the library.
She looked back at itachi, tobi, madara, diedara, sasori, kisame and hidan and smirked at them.
She picked up a scroll of the shikon jewel and threw it in their direction before picking up a scroll of the late shikon miko kikyo before picking up her own.
She felt herself freeze when she picked up her own, with a dark look she thrust it in madaras direction and said "once you guys have read those, I will have you read on court etiquette. It disgusts me how this era is without it."
She went to the drawer in the desk and opened it.
She smiled down at the contents, it was the beads that were used on inuyasha.
She held up the first necklace and turned to madara, chanting as the beads glowed pink. Madara took a step back "w-what are you doing?" he gasped out.
She giggled as the incantation finished and the beads rushed to madara, as it settled itself around his neck, he was knocked back by the force of the beads and hit hidan who went down swearing.
"listen fat fuck! Get the fuck off me!" hidan said as he threw madara off him…. And into itachi who twitched before looking at hidan and twitching again.
Kagome grabbed another necklace and started the incantation, pointing the beads in itachis direction. Hidan saw this and smirked at itachi.
"what the fucks so funny hidan? Last I checked, you were a dead man" itachi said, readying himself for a fireball jutsu.
Kagome snickered when she was close to finishing the incantation and hidan pointed behind itachi and said awed "look! A distraction!" itachi looked and slapped his forehead.
The incantation finished and when itachi was turning to hidan, he saw the beads heading his way, he gasped and tried to jump out of the path of the hurtling pink beads and the change in direction forced itachi into a wall as the beads attached themselves to his neck.
Hidan was on the floor laughing as itachi tried to pry himself out of the hole in the wall.
Kagome grabbed another necklace and started the incantation, pointing in hidans direction as madara and itachi sat themselves at a table, working on translating the scrolls.
Diedara, kisame, sasori and tobi were trying to find a way out of the library and away from the sadistic kagome who was having too much fun with her necklaces.
Kagome looked at tobi and saw him try to walk through the walls only to come out a few feet from where he walked into "tobi, that wont work you know." Madara looked over "im sure kisame sensed the energy in this place." He said as he looked at a scroll.
Since he had to translate that scroll all those years ago, he was reading the legend of the shikon no tama. He looked at kagome in a new light and moved to the scroll of the late shikon miko-kikyo.
He looked over at itachi and poked his forehead making him rub it "there. You should be able to read it" madara whispered, hoping kagome didn't hear.
Kagome glared at madara "no helping them, it takes the fun out of seeing them struggle." She said as she picked up a necklace and started an incantion.
She was turned to tobis direction with an evil smile on her face.
"neesan! YOU WOULDN'T!" tobi screamed out in his annoying high pitched scream as he tried hard to walk through the walls to get out of there.
He looked back in fear and saw the beads hurtling towards him.
He walked into the wall and came out a few feet down and tried to run amongst the shelves only to have the beads tackle him into the wall he walked out of.
He fell into the wall and fell out in front of kagome as she held her stomach laughing.
She picked up another necklace and started the incantation, turned in diedaras direction and snickered as he looked around for an escape.
The beads came hurtling at him, once on contact the clay clone jutsu went down and she scowled as the beads went in search of the real diedara.
Behind bookshelves they heard screaming and kagome snickered before picking up another set and turning to kisame.
Kisame sat on the ground and glared at kagome "im not going to give you the satisfaction kagome." He said as the beads came hurtling in his direction.
Kisame felt sweat go down his face as he watched in fear at the beads heading for him fast enough to hurt.
He almost lost his cool and turned to run before the beads hit him, he was surprised to see that the transfer was gentle compared to all the others. He looked at kagome oddly as she set another incantation for sasori.
'is that what this jutsu draws upon for its destructive nature towards us on completion? Fear?'
Madara pointed at kagome as the beads settled on sasori gently, going around his neck like a feather as it stopped glowing and became the brown and black beads with teeth every few strands.
"what the hell kagome! Why aree you going easy on sasori!" he yelled out.
Kagome rolled her eyes before she fell to the ground gasping as she clutched her heart.
Sasori and madara came forward and tried to put their hands on kagome, but kagomes reiki struck out and created a barrier around her.
"whats wrong with her?" itachi asked as everyone stood by quiet.
Silence rung out after kagomes aganized screams as she lay, clutching her heart and gasping for breath.
"mate… whats wrong?" madara asked quietly.
"its tsunade… shes using the hokages crystal and trying to summon me…" kisame gasped and itachi felt his eyes widen.
"don't worry, it wont work." Kagome said quietly as she got up and she felt a tug at her reiki as tsunade used the crystal to track her when the summoning didn't work.
With tsunade
She swore when releasing her chakra in her seal didn't work when she tried to summon kagome.
She wouldn't come.
She looked at the council room, the elders, the fuedal lord and lastly to kakashi.
She shook her head "I will have to put her in the bingo book. Kakashi you are to put together a team of yourself, yamato, naruto, sakura, sai, kida, hinata, shino, neji, lee and tenten. Bring their senseis with you and you are to use the crystal to track kagome down." Kakashi felt his heart go cold as he blood in his veins stopped.
He felt numb. Was she really going to do this? Was she going to use kagomes connections against her?
He bowed "ill go collect them." He said quietly as he stared down at the ground.
"go!" kakashi dissapeared.
He went to the abandoned taisho district, walking among the blank space that was once the commercial district before the copies ran everyone out and packed everything. Tsunade dispatched ANBU and there were many casaulties.
She tried to get the medical core to study kagomes copies but once they lay them down for autopsy, the crystals in their foreheads shattered and they dissapeared right before their eyes.
Kakashi walked to the housing district and looked around with sorrow heavy in his heart. Naruto shut himself in the clan house after that day. Believing that his kaasan wouldn't do anything to betray them. Refusing to believe tsunade, having hope for his adoptive mother.
He walked inside and walked down the halls to the room that used to be kagomes. He found naruto on the bed, staring up at the ceiling at sesshomarus demonic form.
Sadly he said "tsunadee gave us a mission naruto, we are to track down kagome and apprehend her." he watched as naruto got up slowly, the light gone from his eyes.
'ill find you kaasan, I will.' Naruto thought as he followed kakashi to the gates of konoha, kakashi knew that the other teams alrready got the missives and were ready.
Once they got there he handed the green necklace to naruto. It used to be pink but the light faded from it once the first hokage fashioned it into a necklace.
"naruto… you will have to be the one in charge of this" he said qietly as yamato stepped forward to argue.
Kakashi held up a hand "his the only one who knows how to use it other than tsunade." They set off as naruto put on the necklace and it glowed green.
Naruto followed the will of the necklace in the direction of demon country, they ran through the tree tops as his team looked at him worried for his well being.
He ignored them as they tried to talk to him, he just kept going. Kept going to kagome, he knew kagome didn't betray them. He knew kagome was good.
He didn't agree with everyone when it came to his mother, just like he didn't agree with everyone when it came to sasuke.
Kakashi said "halt! We will have to set down camp for the night" he said as he watched the sun set.
If they were going in the direction he thought they were, it would be a few weeks before they made it there. No matter the speed they were going at.
With kagome
After she left the group in the tower she went over to her copies and examined them. They became completely separate from her but they are still her. just different beeings now. They held their same connections to each other.
Kagome didn't know if she was supposed to be happy with the fact that she was staring at different people now.
She sighed, as the akumakage she would have to rebuild villages. She said quietly "you guys will make your commercial district at the border of demon country so it will be accessable for civilians and shinobi alike. You guys will hold your operations here and transfer papers and goods to there and here." Her copies nodded.
"you guys will also make a main village a couple miles from the commercial district, we will use that as our fuax hidden village when in reality it will be here. That fort will be used for our academy and our offices along with a reports for base of operations. Ive set up communication units for you guys, and to make it easier on those without flight abilities ive been working on teleportation techniques that use a platform as their catalysts."
She handed her clones her scrolls and said "I will be making more copies to act as my ANBU, they will be different from you though. You have lived centuaries and became your own being in that time. You are now considered something entirely from me. But do not forget, you are still connected to each other and to me." They nodded and said softly "you are the original kagome, we know that the power you put into us is nothing compared to yours." She nodded.
She sighed and her and her copies along with clones pooled forth their reiki and made more copies.
The shards in their forehead were a deep emerald green as she smiled at them "ANBU unit." She said as she handed them masks and smirked, she will have their ANBU uniform consist of the leather she uses but with the kanji for shadow on their backs.
She watched as they put on the ANBU masks and knelt before kagome, bowing their heads "you are to assist those who will be working on putting down the commercial district. I will make it an entire village of itself. So you guys should not worry about restrictions and limits to where you can built. Remember, you are to keep guard over these and remain unseen if you can. You will be the defense that stands between unwanted visitors and act as lookouts for the guards" She smirked, she knew they would go overboard with the district.
She watched as the ANBU and half her copies went off to the left side.
They pooled together reiki again and copies with shards that were a deep violet came forth "you will serve as guards for the districts and villages that we are to make." They nodded and went off to the right side, this one was a bigger group than her comercial district kagomes and ANBU kagomes.
They pooled together reiki and youki as more came in with shards that were of molten gold bowed to kagome.
"you are to aid in the construction and architecture. Don't bother to follow the ones of this world, you can utilize the feudal era and modern eras construction, make sure you use purely demonic structures though, we are going to house demons in these if the need arises." They nodded and stood up.
They pooled together their reiki one more time and they watched as the forms of kagome came forth with pink shards, they were of kagomes human side before she became demon. "you guys are you build hospitals and run them." They nodded.
She turned to ANBU and said quietly "you guys are to put up sensory barriers at the borders of demon country, I will have ANBU here who can keep watch over the barriers and to sound the alarm or put in reports if people are to cross it." She watched as 100 kagomes detached themselves from the group and dissapeared in their light orbs.
She turned to the rest and said softly "scatter" they left, leaving a gust in their wake as madara stepped forward. She glared at him "you should be reading mate."
Madara laughed nervously "sorry, I got curious when I felt your power fluctuate" kagome sighed.
"you know, they will do a good job kagome." She nodded and looked up at the sky, she knew that her orders on them having the taisho crest and different figures, facial structures and such went with her copies. So once they are back, they will all be staring at strangers.
"madara, im sorry I have work to do." She said as she summoned up shadow clones and they made their way to the office that used to be sesshomarus study that led up to the crystal tower.
Once their she packed up teleportation platforms and rock structures that acted as a dashboard for communications into separate scrolls. A clone came forth and took the scrolls from her before dissapearing, going to give them to each company that will be working on building the western lands into the happy place it used to be before the war of the races.
She shuddered "madara, my first copies, they are able to mate and bare children that will be of a different line from me. I don't know how to tell the former akatsuki of this… I don't know if they will like that idea" madara laughed. "I noticed that the tattoos you gave them that bares your mark and allows them to travel in air also helps in serves to lengthen their lives."
Kagome tilted her head, how did he notice that? "they have years to come to terms with this new development if it bugs them so." Kagome sighed, that was true.
She went to the desk and organized the old scrolls their before having a clone take it and bring it to the walls to organize it.
She pulled out a blank scroll and began to write in it. She looked up at madara "the faedal lords will be having a meeting over the issue of me. I want you to go to them and present this with them. It speaks of me reclaiming the west as the western lord and speaks of the new hidden village. If they have a problem with them, remind them of my military might and explain that I will do anything in my power to establish this once more." Madara nodded before taking the scroll and dissapearing in his space time jutsu.
She looked up as zetsu came from the ground and smirked "are you trapped on the castle zetsu?"
"wench, why would you bring us up in the sky away from the ground" black zetsu said.
"we have a problem kagome, we cannot leave and act as spies." White zetsu said and kagome threw down a black disc in front of her desk and they watched in awe as it grew with a swirl of reiki and became a teleportation device "you will act as my spy, there will be these discs all over the lands. It will be placed inside a barrier and unseen to the eye, only you guys will know of it." She watched as zetsu stepped onti it and nearly screamed when they were engolfed in light and was transported to the borders of demon country.
She called for the former akatsuki members to her studies and she sat, watching them as they figdeted under her scrutinizing gaze.
Finally she said "ive lengthen your lives when I gave you your marks. The first generation of my copies are now considered entirely different beings. So you guys are able to marry and bare children of a different bloodline from me." She watched as everyone froze.
"you guys will be able to have your bloodlines carry on, I cant have my clones marry each other and bare children because due to them being from me. They will not be compatible with each other."
She smirked at everyones discomfort. "since you have lengthened lives, you have years to come to terms with this, but you guys will have to set out on the task as soon as possible." she looked down at the blueprints that came from each operation.
They nodded "now you guys are to go back to reading, im sure you guys have already been set on court ettiquete so you should know what it means to court a female." She didn't look up as they left, she was working on reports and papers and documents.
Shes given all her copies different attributes. So they are of a different bloodline altogether, she gave them the attributes of the old youkais she use to rule over.
Thanks to her reiki, whatever children they will have, will not be hanyos. They will be humans but inherit youki from their mothers or fathers. Whichever.
She has a main family branch that will be a mix of her, her demon and her human. They are to carry on the taisho clan. Be each other bloodlines will become separate clans.
Shes thought of making demon country her lands again, so over the years she has had thoughts and plans for this place and how she would achieve such a thing. She smirked down at a scroll before her, what children they will bear will have their growth accelerated so as to have a kick start to her hidden village. After 3 or 4 generations of this, she will have them age at human pace again.
She sighed, why does reviving it seem so tiring?
In konoha tsunade let out an enraged scream after getting reports from shikaku about the meeting with the fuedal lords. It seems they cannot pursue kagome anymore. They cannot pursue the former akatsuki, they cannot pursue madara.
Demon country is now an official country and they have a hidden village called akumagakure no sato and that she has used force to ensure that it is established. The shinobi world cannot stop kagome from getting what she wanted, even if it was something no one agreed with.
All the hidden villages knew of kagomes might, she was their village secret also. They just didn't know that she was others village secrets also. That was a surprise to the kages and fuedal lords.
Once madara came forth and claimed the seat among the lords for demon country, he has petitioned for an alliance with the other nations. They turned him down but they gave came to agreements with some hidden villages.
Mainly the sand, lightning and cloud.
Everyone else sworn to oppose kagome, tsunade being among them on behalf of konoha…
Once madara came back, he held out a black fuedal lord robe for kagome who groaned when she saw it, he held out kage robes also with the kanji for 'demon shadow' on the top of the decorative hat.
She glared at madara "you will be our fuedal lord." She said in her 'that's final' tone and everyone in and around the castle heard madaras screams of anguish. He used to want power, use to crave it. He wanted to be hokage!
But now he will be the fuedal lord over a country! He doesn't want it anymore, he doesn't want any of it. Doesn't want the responsibility that came with it. He was content with being shinobi.
Than he looked as kagome put on the kage robes and glared at them before putting on a cloak instead along with the hat. She put the formal robes on a hook behind her desk. "you will be fuedal lord and I will be the akumakage." She said as she smiled up at madara "since we need two people to take the official positions I cannot take up both tittles. I will help you in your task." He nodded numbly.
She looked around "this will act as your base of operations for the feudal lord position, the hidden village that they have built up will act as my base of operations as akumakage." She got up and went around the desk to hug madara.
At the door itachi coughed and watched as kagome and madara jumped apart.
"your copies are waiting for you in the court room." She nodded and walked past them, down the halls and into the court room that houses the throne and sat down as she looked at her copies.
She watched as clones from each company stepped forward and spaced out slightly as they gave their reports. She was listening and filing the information but she also felt the pull on her powers as leaf shinobi were close to the boarders demon country.
She nodded to them and looked as ANBU stepped forward "there are reports at the boarders that there is a platoon of leaf nearing." She sighed. "I will meet them at the boarders." She held up her hand as the ANBU made to speak and said softly "you are to keep watch in the shadows, I will have a formation of guards with me."
She looked as the doors opened and in came itachi, hidan, tobi, madara, sasori, diedara and kisame "so have you guys come to pick out of your intendants?" her copies gasped and kagome giggled.
"ive made you guys with attributes that seperates your bloodline from me. We are to start up the villages and districts. So I will have you guys marry and bare children." She watched as the former akatsuki blushed.
She beconed to them to come to her and madara stepped at her side as the former akatsuki members stood in front of her. "I will give you guys a week to pick out your intendants and you guys are given another week to bare children. Once they are with pup I will acceleratee their growth and you guys will see from there."
She turned and left, as she was leaving ANBU and guards detached from their groups and joined her.
"wait! Where the fuck do you think your going!" hidan screamed out.
Kagome turned her head slightly and said "im going to go welcome the party that has been sent to track me. Everyone else to your respective villages"
Her copies yelled out "hai!" and dissapeared in their light orbs as kagome dissapeared also.
She was standing at the mountains at the base of her temple as she looked out at the leaf ninja coming for her.
She felt her blood run cold as she saw who they were. she felt a sense of betrayal, her own kit….
Her face hardened as kakashi landed in front of her and looked down at her with unreadable eyes.
"we were sent by tsunade to apprehend you kagome taisho, you are a wanted criminal by konoha."
Yamato said quietly "please come with us kagome."
Naruto stepped forard to say something to kagome only for sai to stop him with a shake of his head.
Sakura was watching with a predatory gleam in her eyes as shino dispatched his beetles into the area. Hinata had her byakugan activated and kida was on akamarus back.
She smiled at them "I know now that the leaf are enemy of akuma. As akumakage, I will have to tell you to leave least we treat this as an attack on our nation."
Kakashi looked taken aback "what are you talking about kagome?" kagome pointed to the hat she wore with the black and deep purple robes.
They saw the kanji for 'demon shadow' on the hat and she said softly "you guys missed a lot in your travels." She held up a scroll that stated that demon country was now an official country and a nation. Recognizing akumagakure no sato as a hidden village.
She looked sad as she looked at naruto "the only villages that are allied with akumagakure no sato are sand, cloud and lightning."
Kakashi felt his blood run cold. Tsunade… what is tsunade thinking?
She sighed "please turn back kakashi. I don't want a war to break out due to this conflict. I will dispatch a shinobi to konoha in hopes of negotiations."
Just than the kazekage broke through the trees and said softly "good, your already here." Gaara said as he strode to kagome.
He looked at the leaf ninja and said quietly "naruto, what will you do now?" gaara was looking at naruto who was shaking with his fists clenched.
"I cant let baasan do this!" naruto yelled out as he tackled kagome and hugged her tight.
"okaasan, I know you not a bad person. I know that you can be an ally if baasan would just let go of her anger!"
Kagome stroked his spikey blonde hair and said quietly "I cant be here for you right now naruto… we have to patch the conflict between akuma and konoha first…" she stepped away and held out a scroll to kakashi "give this to tsunade." She took gaara and dissapeared in her light orb.
They went to akumagakure no sato and she smiled at his awed look. It was a village among planes of grass with a forest a few miles in each direction. There was a running waterfall behind the village from a cliff that provides a stream through akuma and the gates that protected the village had guards on top and in towers.
He looked at her awed "how did you get time to do all this?" kagome pointed to the guards "they are my copies gaara, ive been planning this since I first awakened. I just felt content with being among the villages… but after I was turned from by konoha… I just cant bear it, I cant bear the betrayal of another village." Gaara hugged her.
"don't worry kagome, im sure things will be fine…" she smiled at gaara and nodded.
They walked towards the gates and saw madara tapping his feet.
"that took to long kagome, I was going to go get you myself." He blinked when he saw gaara and lunged forward, hugging kagome and gaara while he buried his face in gaaras hair with a content sigh.
"I was wondering when you would come here gaara." Madara said quietly making kagome laugh.
"we are allies with the sand mate, of course gaara would come and see the village for himself."
