Eyes closed, smile curling pink lips as one Kagome Higurashi stood at the edge of the well. It had been three years. She had completed what she wanted and was ready to deliver on her promise though she hadn't told everyone that the jewel had returned to her. Nope. That the wish was a bit redundant. It had taken a bit of getting used to that you couldn't make a completely selfless wish without thinking of the consequences. And to wish it away selflessly, well that would want to her away. So, in agreeance with the original creator, Midoriko, who was her true ancestor. That she would be its guardian for a while, a very long while, like say eternity?

Opening her eyes, Kagome put her hand on the edge of the well and vaulted over the edge. The familiar blue light of the magic rising to meet her. As she did the normal free fall, she felt the jewel pulse inside her. Before she could register anything else, her consciousness faded to nothing. Body going lax. Her last thought was, why did the Kami hate her so?


He stood outside the halls of Nazarick with all of his guardians watching the night sky above. A meteor shower had started. They'd just taken down the Baruth Empire. Neutralized their threat and made them a part of his independent nation in the making. Though as he stared at the sky, watching the stars shoot across the sky, a feeling of nostalgia washed over him. Along with another as the sky grew brighter.

Turning to the East as a foreign power skittered across his magical senses. He felt each of his loyal guardians tense as well. This was foreign, yet it was not. Eyes riveted to the sky as a meteor flew directly over the head to the west in a ball of flames. Flames were an unnatural color. From what he could recall of his brief touch on the subject in Science class in High School. Then the ground shook as it landed just outside the walls of his home.

"My Lord?" Albedo asked.

Turning, he saw her yellow eyes wide as she looked at him. Her face pulled into a frown. With a glance at the others, he could tell they were not happy about the power they felt. His senses were on high alert, telling him there was danger near. But his mind was calm, not panicking. Slowly he shook his head and looked in the direction the meteor landed. He was curious. Because something was telling him he had to go and look. Take whatever was left in the crater it had made.

"We shall investigate, from there, I will decide what to do," he said, turning. "Albedo, Demiurge, Sebus, come with me."

Muttering 'Fly' to activate the spell he took to the skies and flew the few miles to the crash site. Landing, he heard the soft rustle of wings and clothes. Moving slowly to the edge as the dust and steam cleared, he felt a shock course through his very being. For what he was seeing had to be impossible. There is a lilac bubble, floating a few feet from the ground, was a girl in strange, yet decidedly plain clothes, looking like she was in a deep, peaceful sleep.

"A girl? A human?"

At the two rhetorical questions, he raised his hand, he stepped forward and slid down the sides to where the girl was. His senses started to go haywire, then quieted when he stood at the edge of the floating bubble, which flared briefly before bursting — allowing the pale-skinned, dark-haired girl to float to rest on the ground slowly. Again he was hit with nostalgia, but it was not the same as when he saw the stars shooting across the sky. No, this had him thinking of something he thought should be impossible, but then again, his circumstances proved it wrong.

"I know her, she is… But the question is how and at what point?"

Turning, he looked up at those he had to follow. Quickly assessing who would be best based on who he had brought.

"Sebus, come down and use that floating floor to lift her. She is coming back to Nazarik with us," he said.

He saw the shock and displeasure cross the face of Albedo, while Demiurge was a blank mask. He knew that there would be questions, but before he would answer them, he needed to know. Muttering 'fly' again, he zipped out of the crater just as Sebus reached the bottom. Glad that he didn't question his actions or choices. And out of all of them, he'd be the best to handle the girl. Or rather one Kagome Higurashi. He knew Sebus would treat her with care thanks to his relationship with Taure.

"My Lord, why would you bring back a human girl, who gives off… such an aura of purity?" Albedo asked as she caught up to him in flight.

"My reasons are my own. But if my theory is correct, I know who this girl was. And that she could make a very powerful ally in the coming months," he stated. "Besides, what better way to confuse your enemies than to have one of their own with great power back up the opposition?"

There was silence for, but a few as the sound of another set of wings caught up to them.

"My Lord, that is brilliant. Using their own against them," Demiurge said.


The flight back was short as they landed in the courtyard, he knew that Sebus was coming but at a slower pace due to the spell that carried the girl. He was not going to take any chances of harming his loyal subjects. Upon landing, he made his way towards the entrance of Nazarick. The other guardians following behind, silent. Though he could tell, they were curious.

"Call for Taure. When Sebus gets here, he is to take his burden to a room," he said as he marched up the stairs and into the hall.

He didn't feel like using the ring to teleport. His mind was trying to rationalize what it had seen, how it was possible to give or take what he knew. Power was power. And power always called to power. So, with her here, depending on at what point in time in her world and storyline, she was pulled that she was going to be something that drew attention.

As he walked down the halls, he heard the soft, timid footfalls. Pausing to wait as they caught up to him, stopping a few feet behind him.

"You called for me, Lord Ainz?" A hushed voice asked.

Turning his head slightly, he saw nothing but ahead of long dark blond hair. Taure was bent at the waist, waiting on him. He could see that the months of training were paying off just by looking at her.

"Yes, I did, Taure. When Sebus gets here, you are to follow him to the room he is to place my new acquisition in. I need you to examine her carefully. You will strip and bathe her. What you are looking for are any defining birthmarks, scars or tattoos. She is unconscious and will not resist you. Do you understand, Taure?" he said, making his voice a bit harsh.

"Yes, Lord Ainz, it will be as you requested," she replied.

"You are dismissed. Meet Sebus at the entrance to Nazarik," he said, focusing forward and walking away.


He was sitting in the throne room, feeling rather bored. It had been over two hours since Sebus returned. He had watched as Taure met him, and Albedo informed him that he was to take the girl to a room. But he had the decency to not spy on them as Taure did as he had asked. This was serving as a test for her to see if she was ready or not to take over the head maid position in the manor in E-Rantel. The girl was still very shy and timid.

Sighing as he shifted, earning a look from Albedo. He knew she was not happy. More like jealous about another female coming into the Tomb. But he had no interest in this girl like that. No, he wanted to know if she was who he thought she was. All the other guardians, as well as the Pleiades, were gathered and waited. A loud booming knock came from the doors drawing him from his thoughts as he sat up straight. He was looking to Albedo.

"Enter!" She called out.

When the doors opened, it revealed Taure. Who waited until he lifted his hand and curled his fingers for her to come closer. Glad that she was so obedient. The moment she stopped and bowed again, waiting on him.

"Tell me what you found Taure," he demanded.

The way she slightly tensed up had him mentally sighing. He was still getting used to his role as a supreme being and overlord. It was a slow process with how long they'd been in this new world. Yet no sign of his friends and guildmates.

"My Lord. She is blemish-free except for two scars. One is very distinctive, and the other I had to shift her person to see as it is very faint and blends well with her skin," Taure said.

"Where are these scars and what do they look like," he demanded again.

Again he watched as she tensed before bowing a bit lower to him.

"The first is on her right hip. It looks like something large had taken a bit out of her. And if it did, she should have been dead, My Lord. The second is in the valley… between her breast. It is only an inch in diameter and a perfect circular shape. The tissue is as pale as her skin. If I had not noticed the way the light glinted off the smooth and shiny tissue, I would have missed it. Again this is right next to her heart; it should have killed her," Taure said. "My Lord… forgive me, but she briefly woke while redressing her after bathing her. She looked at me with eyes the color of the night sky with pale lilac specks in them. Then told me I was much loved before passing out. I quickly finished and stepped away just to have a lilac shield pop up around her. She was spreading a good two feet from the edge of the bed.

He remained silent. There was no doubt in his mind who the girl was now. But still, in his world, she had been nothing but an anime character. And he concluded that she had lost jewel and a good chance with the power rolling off her that it was completed. But instead of vanishing, it had returned to her body, which deviated from the storyline. Her clothes stated she had been in Tokyo. So that meant that she was returning to the past after her three years in her 'present' time. This was of great magnitude. But if the jewel had returned to her person, he knew that she was no longer an average human. No, she now transcended being human in general, if he was correct in his thinking.

Standing up, he drew everyone's attention to him. Black robes were fluttering around him as he stepped down from the dais, Albedo at his side.

"You have done good, Taure. You are confirming what I had figured to be true. What would you like as a reward," he asked.

The way the girl's head shot up to look at him. A light blush across her nose and cheeks as her eyes darted to the side to look at Sebus, then back at him. Knowing what she wanted, he tilted his head up in silent acknowledgment. Causing the poor girl to bow so deeply her hair spilled over her shoulder to pool on the floor at her feet.

"I will give you an hour alone to visit or do whatever you please with Sebus before returning to your training," he said.

Glancing at Sebus, he saw how a faint blush graced his cheeks though he stayed stoic and unmoving. It was amusing to see the former NPC show emotions, wants, and needs. He knew that Hamsky had gained a Martial Skill, while the Dread Knight still struggled. It was, indeed, a good thing. With the Lizards over watching that, and Mare overwatching them.

"That girl will be a valuable asset. She is like us and comes from another world. Though hers is not Yggdrasil like us. No, she comes from a place where there is no magic, demons, undead. Were humans are all that populate the world and reproduce, deplete the land and war with each other," he stated. "But she is more than she appears. Her name is Kagome Higurashi. And she is not a normal human. That power or purity you felt, she was what was known as a Miko in her world. The last of her kind in her time. Her story is here to tell. But this will be the only warning I give and punishment will be severe if broken. Do not be angry at her, she can kill us all without trying. Tolerate her as best as you can."

As the last syllable rang on the air, he let his gaze met each of those there. Saw the mixed reactions. The slight rebellion that was quickly smothered at his look. He knew this was a gamble. But they'd learn. Kagome, if she hadn't been changed further, was a sweet-tempered (most of the time) girl, who didn't see anyone as an enemy. Her ability to just accept and adapt was extraordinary. They would learn, she was also stubborn, tenacious, a trouble magnet, nosey, and beyond the reasonable bounds of a mothering persona.

TBC!
