Tears and Roses
Chapter 19 - This is just the beginning?
*****************************************************************
"What?!!?"
Kaguya sighed rubbing her temples as Kagome grinned, deciding to help her friend out.
"Yes, so before we can go against Kaimei, we must find these owners?"
Kagome's eyes sparked with pride. Reaching her head behind her she lifted up her hair revealing the nape of her neck. There was a smal glowing white mark of a swan.
"The gacchi mark.." Kurama said under his breath.
She nodded.
"Yes.. it will glow when ever I get near a possible owner of one of the weapons. See? It should be pearl right now.."
"Wait how can you tell?! you can't even SEE your neck!" Yusuke shouted.
She rolled her eyes.
"I have a sense to know what happens to it..."
"So what does white mean?" Hiei asked gruffly still trying to overcomes the feelings that were still bombarding the melting icicle known as his heart.
"It stands for the Goddess of Snow. It for for the weapon called winter bow. Kaguya-chan is the owner of it.."
Kaguya shifted revealing the a sparkling white and gold bow, the quiver matching the bow while the fletched arrows had white arrowheads, silver staffs and golden feathers.
Beautiful AND deadly... just like their mistress.... Inuyasha thought dryly while looking at the woman in front of him.
"Wait... Koenma didn't tell us that about the Gacchi mark!" Kuwabara said finally coming out of his daze. Yusuke hit him upside the head.
"Of course he didn't you baka! The toddler doesn't know much haven't you learned that by now?!!!"
Kagome stiffled her laughter, but a large smile was on her lips as she watched the familiar haggles.
"Kagome-megami?" Kurama's silky voice said. She looked at him saying
"Yes?"
"What exactly gods and goddesses powers reside in the weapons? And why were they put there?"
"Good questions!" She cheered then cleared her throat like so many of her teachers did before a long lecture.
"Each weapons was or is being used by a god and goddess in times of battles and wars. Each one like myself have one varying from bows, to swords, to rings. Anyways the reason we each have one is because in times of battles when we may be weakened our weapons still hold part of our chi the same power level as when we infused it with them so thus it makes it EXTREMELY hard for a god or goddess to be killed. But in such rare cases they are killed, the chi in the weapons help chose the next master/mistress tp weild them."
"So why are all these here?" Sango voice said lowly while she held the smaller version of Kirara in her arms.
Her face seemed to sadden a touch but she continued.
"The are the weapons of the gods and goddesses that were my allies that were killed in the final battle of the conflict of who would rule our realm. I had placed them here until I detected the next owners with the gacchi. Only when I died 200 hundred years later I sent my soul on one last mission to tell Kaguya what to do and set my sword in the mountain and form the barrier. Then I went to the future to the Higurashi couple into her womb, erasing any memories until it was time."
"Then..... how did you get the mark?" Yusuke asked.
"I've had it since a was a young goddess. The said I was granted the powr from the four winds and higher elements to be the choser of strengths and power. In other words it was my duty to find the next in line for the gods and goddess should they die."
"What mystic ones do these weapons belong too?" Miroku asked motioning to the pile of metal.
"Well their is the bow of winter from the goddess of snow, previous owner Yuki... The ring of fire and lightning, from the god Raijin... The necklace of Life, Goddess of Life... Dagger of animals, god of Animals... band of water, God of water.... Sheild of sun, goddess of sun... and of course the Hateni-seito or sorrow star infused with every god and goddess given to yours truly, goddess of the moon and stars...."
"ohhh......." Shippou said his mouth in a small O his small fangs protruding slightly creating an cute image. Kagome smiled glad that her history lesson was over, scooped the kit up in her arms.
"So how did you fair with out me little one?"
He grinned again, curling in her arms his tail wrapped around him.
"It was okay although I didn't like it... will you have to leave again soon?"
Kagome bit her lip thoughtfully. But then shook her head.
"I don't think so. But eventually Yusuke and the others will have to go back soon and I'll have to pick up a few things.."
"Chocolate?" His ears perked up condiderably and she giggled.
"Yes Shippou-chan, and while I'm gone you can catch up with your brother..."
Shippou nodded, closing his eyes in content.
She turned to look at Hannanoki, her eyes showing wisdom and understanding.
"Only I'll expect that'll be AFTER you find your mate, right Hannanoki?"
He grinned slyly with a slight blush on his cheeks.
"Yes, but I'll leave in the morning after resting a bit.."
She nodded then turned to the others.
"I suggest we get away from here soon since other youkai might be coming around scavenging.."
"Feh.... I'll take them out.." Inuyasha said cracking his knuckles grinning sadicically.
That is until....
*WHOMP*
Kaguya hit him on back of his head, saying
"No you baka we've fought ENOUGH for one day!! Now listen to Kagome-chan's orders or I'll hit you again!!"
"Bitch--" He started growling but then
"sit."
*THUD*
A crater sat in the middle of the barren feild and Kaguya looked down at it in fascination. Seeing a very angry inuhanyou at the bottom.
"Come on Inu-yasha we got to set up camp by sunset and it has to be far enough away from here!" Kagome said her pink cloud forming under her as she started floating above the gorund. Sango, Miroku, Yusuke and Kuwabara on Kirara behind her.
Inuyasha got up and was about to start yelling at the two females but his first victim had already went over to Kagome and was on her cloud staring at him mockingly.
"What is it dog boy? Didn't you hear? Come."
He growled.
"Why you--"
He lunged at them but suddenly Kagome flicked her nose upwards and the cloud darted up ten feet so he only hit air... and dirt when he landed.
"Are you three following on land?" Kagome asked, ignoring his rants.
"Hn..." Hiei snorted.
"Feh...." Inuyasha said folding his arms across his chest.
Kurama and Hannanoki looked at them disdainfully, then up at her.
"I think that is a yes..." Kurama said
She nodded and started gliding to the west (A/N: guess why... -_-) followed by the group.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome sighed... the wind whipping through her hair giving her some relief from all the stress put on her from the day's trials. She was now sitting on her petal cloud cross-legged, with Shippou sleeping in her lap, Kaguya at her side, staring ahead.
The goddess turned and looked at the white puff clouds around her her thoughts distant and worried.
"When are you going to tell them?" Kaguya whispered so no demons would overhear.
Kagome sighed again, Kaguya speaking of the very thing she was.
"I don't know... I just don't know how they will react to me if they knew..."
"I think you've already changed their veiws of you when they found out you were just a goddess... besides did the ugly orange haired one say Koenma sent them?"
Kagome nodded, turning her head to the sky.
"Yes he sent them to watch over me, and if they didn't tell them about the gacchi mark I doubt he told them about THAT..."
There was a small silence, as Kagome sat thinking.
'I really should contact him about how much the spirit detectives know.. maybe tonight I willl.....'
Suddenly a bright navy blue flash darted through her vision.
She blinked then her eyes widened.
In a flash she swerved the cloud to the side racing ot where she felt the surge.
"Kagoome-chan! What are you doing?! Kagome-chan?!" Kaguya cried.
"I sensed it!! The goddess of Life is near, we have to go find her!!" Kagome said back, while motioning for the others to follow.
The soon came upon a glade of grass and wild flowers.
Kagome squinted to see ahead.
There was a small girl wearig a orange and white yukaata and her black hair pulled in to a small ponytail on the side of her head was picking flowers. A short green toad not far away yelling at her. Off to the side was a tall elegant figure of mostly clad white. He had long silver white hair and cold peircing gold eyes glaring right at her.
'Sesshoumaru..'
She floated to the ground, stepping off with Kaguya as it dissapeared. Hannanoki and the other demons came up behind her, Inuyasha growling feircely.
Rin ran over to her a large smile forever stamped on to her cheery face.
"Onee-san!!Onee-san!!" She cried throwing herself around Kagome's waist in a hug.
"Hello Rin-chan, how are you doing?" Kagome said these words calmly although the flashed in her visions became more powerful as she made contact with the girl.
'surely.. no.. it couldn't be.. she's just a child!' She said but remained smiling.
"Rin is doing fine Kagome-sama! Here these are for you!" She handed her a boquet of different flowers which Kagome took gracefully, smelling their swet aromas.
"They're beautiful Rin-chan, Thank you."
The girl blushed but her smile widened.
"Rin knew Onee-san whoud like them!! Rin picks flowers for Jaken-sama but he doesn't like them and calls Rin names!!"
"I'm sure he doesn't mean anything he says Rin-chan! I think he just has a problem expressing his feeligs. So whenever he says he doesn't like you he means he REALLY likes you.."
"REALLY?!?!" The little girl squealed. Running over to the toad she hugged him saying
"Rin loves you too!"
"Wha!!" He sqwauked. "Get off me you filthly ugly human!"
"You think Rin is pretty too?!! Jaken's so nice to Rin-chan!!"
Kagome bit her lip trying her hardest not to laugh. She turned to look at the demon lord who was looking at her emotionless.
"What are you doing here wench?" He asked coldly.
Kagome composed herself and bowed saying
"I am in search of a certain person and it led me across your path Sesshoumaru-sama. I do not wish to cause any bloodshed.."
"What!?!!" Inuyasha yelled "Why are you being so nice to him?!"
"Inuyasha..." She chirped sweetly.
"Y-yeah?"
"Sit!"
*THUD*
"Hmph..." She snorted turning away from the crater.
"Sorry about that..."
He looked down at her through raised eyes.
"Why are you being so nice wench?"
Kagome was about to answer when she narrowed her eyes and looked past him.
The others sensed it soon too and all drew their weapons.. all except Kagome anyways..
She merely glared at the oncoming demon calmly. Sesshoumaru thought she was insane and hoped she got herself killed and called Rin behind him.
With several loud crashing it finally entered the clearing, a path of destruction in its wake.
"GIVE ME THE SHIKON NO TAMA!!!!!!" It roared.
Kagome sighed.
"Not in your or my life."
It growled, only it seemed twice as loud. They then noticed their was another demon behind this one. Both with powerful auras.
"Kagome-chan, what do you suggest?" Kaguya said clutching her bow.
"We can split in to two groups and take them down... I don't want to use any unessicary force.."
Kaguya nodded and began relaying the orders to everyone else.
Sesshoumaru glared at the ningen before him noticing her changes in apperances for the better, but angry nonetheless.
"I do not take ordes from the half-breed's wench."
"Then don't." She said simply. He watched her for a moment longer then turn ihs attention back to the two opposing demons.
"PREPARE TO DIE!!!" They hissed lunging at them.
"Go!" Kagome shouted. The divided each going after their assigned demon leaving Sesshoumaru and Kagome in the middle watching for an opening.
Sesshoumaru just thought the woman was weak and was afraid to jump in and help.
Kagome on the otherhand was busy waching the attacks the demons used. The moved it what seemed like dances. Slash, dodge, turn attack other group.. but no matter how many times they turned or twisted they always left a gap in between them as if waiting for something ot enter.
One of them roared as Hiei slashed its arm. Sesshoumaru saw his opening and attacked with his Toukijin. Kagome saw him dart off but became aware of the third and final demon that had been circling them.
It lunged at Rin trying to cut her throat but Jaken stepped in front of her trying to block the blow but the claws slashed through his small body in one deadly blow.
"JAAKEEN-SSAAAMA!!!!!" Rin screamed as his limp form fell in front of her. The demon cursed then grabbed the girl and started running to the woods. The others were to busy fighting they couldn't get to her in time.
She'd have to use her powers...
Letting the warmth of her power flow through her body she felt her eyes sheen over with blue light as it flew and blasted the feild with its purifying powers.
She heard several screeches, as she immobilzed them and her powers started eating away at their skin.
Drawing the Hateni-seito from its sheath she spun once slashing around her with its blade of power strike. It only impending the the three figures she envisioned in her mind.
More shrieks then silence as the light faded. Kagome went in to her normal form walking over to the little girl. She was kneeling on the dirt beside a pile of ashes (A/N: the demon..) sobbing.
"Ja.. Jaken.... s-sama..!" She cried. Kagome slid her sword in its proper place ad put a hand on the girl's shoulder.
Sesshoumaru on the other hand was fuming because he had left Tensaiga at his castle and by the time he returned here Jaken's body would already be eaten by some demon..
"Rin... it'll be okay.." Kagome whispered
"B.. but....."
"You can bring him back."
This caught every one off guard. Rin looked up at her through tear drenched eyes.
"R-Rin can bring.. Jaken-sama.. back?"
Kagome nodded, pulling the necklace of life from her pocket and clasping it around the young girl's neck.
"Rin you are the goddess of Life. If you truly wish to save Jaken reach in to yourself and you can bring him back. Do you want to bring him back?" Kagome said kindly.
Rin nodded.
'Well then try. Close your eyes and reach..."
Rin obeyed. Her small hands stretched out reaching for the silent form of Jaken.
Her brow wrinkled in concentration as a small dark blue mist grew around her body.
A small dart of energy suddenly streamed out hitting his form.
As soon as it disspersed, coughing could immediately be heard.
Rin's eyes popped open as she cied
"Jaken-sama!! Jaken-sama's alive!"
She ran over to him tackling him in a large bear hug crying how glad she was, while the very confused toad tryed to fight her off.
Kagome watched all this with a happy smile as she stood up. Feeling several gazes on her she turned to where te most intense was coming from.
"Sesshoumaru-sama.." She said.
He frowned.
"I thought your name was just a coincidence but it seems not..." He said.
Her eyes widened. 'no he couldn't know could he? Please don't say it..!!'
"What do you mean Sesshoumaru-sama?" She asked innocently.
He shook his head.
"Only the legendary Kagome could sense new gods and goddesses..." He was speaking as he neared her.
"It is the greatest honor to meet you.."
He dropped to a kneeling position before her.
'Please don't say it! I don't what them to know yet..!' She mentally screamed.
He took her hand kissing it setting a certain three youkai on edge.
"Empress Kagome of the Fuugetsu realm.... ruler of all the gods and goddess in this realm and the next. The most beautiful and powerful of them all...." His smooth voice said.
Kagome winced already trying to form decent excuses in her head, as she replied calmly to Sesshoumaru
"Thank you, but I do not believe in such fomalities t one not deserving of it, demon Lord of the West.."
*************************************************
BWHAHAHAA!!! I only wish that was me Sesshoumaru-sama was kissing ::Sigh:: oh well! so how'd you like it for a weeks worth of waiting? Oh and if you didn't notice I changed some errors in the 18th chapter if you want to check it out (Not as confusing now..) anyways R&R okay? Oh and here is a dictionary for some of the words kay? Bye!
Dictioanry:
Megami - Goddess
Baka - Idiot
Empress - Female ruler
Fuugetsu - nature's beauty (Sorry I couldn't think of anything else!)
-chan = Use when speaking to young child or girl to girl
-sama = a suffix used when addressing someone of higher standing of you. (Why Rin calls Jaken that I have on clue..)

"Go!" Kagome shouted. The divided each going after their assigned demon leaving Sesshoumaru and Kagome in the middle watching for an opening.
Sesshoumaru just thought the woman was weak and was afraid to jump in and help.
Kagome on the otherhand was busy waching the attacks the demons used. The moved it what seemed like dances. Slash, dodge, turn attack other group.. but no matter how many times they turned or twisted they always left a gap in between them as if waiting for something ot enter.
One of them roared as Hiei slashed its arm. Sesshoumaru saw his opening and attacked with his Toukijin. Kagome saw him dart off but became aware of the third and final demon that had been circling them.
It lunged at Rin trying to cut her throat but Jaken stepped in front of her trying to block the blow but the claws slashed through his small body in one deadly blow.
"JAAKEEN-SSAAAMA!!!!!" Rin screamed as his limp form fell in front of her. The demon cursed then grabbed the girl and started running to the woods. The others were to busy fighting they couldn't get to her in time.
She'd have to use her powers...
Letting the warmth of her power flow through her body she felt her eyes sheen over with blue light as it flew and blasted the feild with its purifying powers.
She heard several screeches, as she immobilzed them and her powers started eating away at their skin.
Drawing the Hateni-seito from its sheath she spun once slashing around her with its blade of power strike. It only impending the the three figures she envisioned in her mind.
More shrieks then silence as the light faded. Kagome went in to her normal form walking over to the little girl. She was kneeling on the dirt beside a pile of ashes (A/N: the demon..) sobbing.
"Ja.. Jaken.... s-sama..!" She cried. Kagome slid her sword in its proper place ad put a hand on the girl's shoulder.
Sesshoumaru on the other hand was fuming because he had left Tensaiga at his castle and by the time he returned here Jaken's body would already be eaten by some demon..
"Rin... it'll be okay.." Kagome whispered
"B.. but....."
"You can bring him back."
This caught every one off guard. Rin looked up at her through tear drenched eyes.
"R-Rin can bring.. Jaken-sama.. back?"
Kagome nodded, pulling the necklace of life from her pocket and clasping it around the young girl's neck.
"Rin you are the goddess of Life. If you truly wish to save Jaken reach in to yourself and you can bring him back. Do you want to bring him back?" Kagome said kindly.
Rin nodded.
'Well then try. Close your eyes and reach..."
Rin obeyed. Her small hands stretched out reaching for the silent form of Jaken.
Her brow wrinkled in concentration as a small dark blue mist grew around her body.
A small dart of energy suddenly streamed out hitting his form.
As soon as it disspersed, coughing could immediately be heard.
Rin's eyes popped open as she cied
"Jaken-sama!! Jaken-sama's alive!"
She ran over to him tackling him in a large bear hug crying how glad she was, while the very confused toad tryed to fight her off.
Kagome watched all this with a happy smile as she stood up. Feeling several gazes on her she turned to where te most intense was coming from.
"Sesshoumaru-sama.." She said.
He frowned.
"I thought your name was just a coincidence but it seems not..." He said.
Her eyes widened. 'no he couldn't know could he? Please don't say it..!!'
"What do you mean Sesshoumaru-sama?" She asked innocently.
He shook his head.
"Only the legendary Kagome could sense new gods and goddesses..." He was speaking as he neared her.
"It is the greatest honor to meet you.."
He dropped to a kneeling position before her.
'Please don't say it! I don't what them to know yet..!' She mentally screamed.
He took her hand kissing it setting a certain three youkai on edge.
"Empress Kagome of the Fuugetsu realm.... ruler of all the gods and goddess in this realm and the next. The most beautiful and powerful of them all...." His smooth voice said.
Kagome winced already trying to form decent excuses in her head, as she replied calmly to Sesshoumaru
"Thank you, but I do not believe in such fomalities t one not deserving of it, demon Lord of the West.."
