own character
A Glimpse Ahead Ch. 2
Kagome leaned over Inuyasha with a hand on each side of his face and performed the spell. At first nothing happened. Then suddenly Kagome started to feel her skin tearing. There was intense pain and then she passed out, collapsing on top of Inuyasha.
Inuyasha awoke to find something warm on top of him. He also realized he could sense a new youkai in the area. He opened his eyes to find and injured Kagome on top of him and a strange girl not far from them. He glared at the newcomer. The youki he had felt was coming from her. He shouted at her, "What did you do to Kagome? Damn you. I know you're a youkai. Who are you?"
The girl looked back at him with gray eyes that he found oddly familiar. After a few seconds she spoke, "I am not a full youkai, but you are right. I do have youkai blood within me. And I will tell you now that I did nothing to Kagome, as you call her, except save her from the other youkai. She took it upon herself to take on those wounds. If you'll notice, they match up with your wounds exactly. She did this in order to save your life."
Inuyasha looked at Kagome in shock. The girl was right, their wounds were identical, so Kagome had actually gone through this for him?! He reached up and gently brushed her hair off her face.
"Besides," the other girl continued, "I would never do anything to hurt someone close to you, Inuyasha. After all, you are my father."
Another shocked expression appeared on Inuyasha's face, "I'm your what?!"
"You're my father. I'm your daughter. I traveled through time, with your help, from what you would consider the future to be here today. My name is Ritsuko and I am a quarter youkai. I came here because there will be some events coming up that I will be able to help you with. Especially since Kagome here is not going to be at full strength for awhile."
"How exactly did she do whatever she did anyway."
"I don't actually know," Ritsuko replied, "I told her that I had been told, by father, or you, that there was a spell that could accomplish such a thing. But I myself do not know how to perform the spell so I don't know how she was able to do it. She did that on her own. It'll be okay though. She will be fine. Listen, I didn't tell Kagome who I was. If you wish to tell her, you may but I would be careful about it if I were you. For now, I suggest we take her back to the village."
Inuyasha nodded and picked Kagome up, although his movements were rather slow and stiff as he was still in some pain. Then he headed back towards Kaede's hut with Ritsuko following close behind him. When they reached the hut Sango, Miroku, Kaede, and Shippo all looked up in surprise as Inuyasha stumbled in, about to drop Kagome, with a stranger following behind him.
"Oh my gosh, what happened to Kagome?" exclaimed Sango.
"And who is this lovely young women?" added Miroku.
Inuyasha growled at the monk and stepped in front of Ritsuko. He started to explain what he knew as he set Kagome down and crouched down beside her, "Kagome saved me. She took on some of the injuries that I received during a fight. This girl here is Ritsuko. She claims that she's my daughter from the future."
Kaede looked over Kagome's wounds, "She will survive these wounds, although it might take some time for her to fully recover. And someone should watch over her until she wakes up." She then turned to Ritsuko, "Now, did you say she got these wounds by taking on Inuyasha's injuries"
Ritsuko nodded, "Yes, my father here told me about the existence of such a spell when I was young. He didn't ever tell me how the spell was performed though so I'm surprised she was able to do it. My father told me that he had known two women capable of using this spell but that he had only known of one of them actually using it. I guess that one is Kagome."
"And the other one is probably Kikyou," continued Kaede
Shippo thought of something at that point, "You said that Inuyasha said that he had known these women. Does that mean that he doesn't know them any more in your time."
Everyone turned his or her attention on Ritsuko waiting for her answer. She thought for a moment before answering, "You know, I had never thought to ask about that. But I would think that he still knows one of them in my time."
This brought Miroku to ask another question, "If Inuyasha is your father, may I ask who your mother is?"
"I'm afraid that that's one question I can't answer."
