Ch. 6 -
Who Was Her Real Father?
When Kagome had awoken up to a sunny dawn, she didn't feel at all like herself. Actually, she didn't really feel like a human. But, more things besides that were on her mind: she had to find the rest of the Shikon no Tama, protect herself from harm, find new traveling buddies just because she doesn't like to be alone, and protect herself from the dangers of Naraku.
She got up out of bed and had walked to a mirror to brush her hair and to get dressed for the day. Kagome's eyes widened at the sight of what she saw. What she first saw was that her eyes were... emerald green cat eyes! On her cheeks were two emerald green tiger-like stripes that started in the middle of her cheeks and ended where her hair had connected to her face. What else that surprised her was that she had straight, waist-length black hair. And atop her head were two cat ears, the fur emerald green, as well. Frightened a little, she ran to the door and shut it, closing all the windows from light, as well. Now, everything in the room was dark, but lit up with a couple of candles. She walked back to the mirror, untied her robe, and let it drop. Naked. She looked herself in the mirror and she was fully developed in everyway, making her look beautiful. She turned around, looked over her shoulder, and saw a smooth, sleek cat tail that was covered by emerald green fur.
She couldn't believe it...! Did she really turn into a full demon or was this a half-breed? 'No... I must be a half-breed! Full demons don't have tails or ears of their own kind... All they have are their breed's eyes and pointy elf-like ears... I am a half-breed!' Kagome thought to herself. 'Then who was my real father? Was he a demon too? If so, was he a cat demon, because that what I look like.'
She sighed as she pulled her robe back on, walking to where she had her clothes. Just before she went to sleep last night, she bought herself an emerald green kimono with a black sash and a black Eastern Japanese dragon on the back. She picked up her backpack, grabbed a hairbrush, and began to brush the tangles out of her beautiful hair. Then, Kagome put her clothes and the hairbrush into her backpack, put on her backpack, and headed downstairs.
As she came downstairs, many humans looked at her in fright. Their eyes widened at the sight of her and they all rushed towards where ever they were going. She sighed as she walked to the counter, telling the owner that she was checking out.
"A-and you a-are...?" He asked, tremble in his voice.
"Higurashi Kagome..." She said.
The keeper drew back a bit, but nodded to her, and she walked out of the inn. As she did so, everyone in the streets looked at her and all of their eyes had widened. "It's a demon! Run!" Some yelled as some ran from her sights. She shook her head in shame as she began to walk down the streets. Her eyes were guided upon the road, watching her feet move back and forth, each. Since she wasn't paying attention, she accidentally bumped into something. When she looked up, she saw another cat half-breed. And the female half-breed looked like her, only with more markings than she and different fur color. Also, she dressed differently (Picture found on: . That's what she looks like. No, I don't own the website and no, I don't own the picture. Bridget E. Wilde owns it). Anyway, they both drew back and looked at each other.
"I-I'm sorry, my lady," Kagome told the half-breed.
The half-breed just looked at her, as though she had found something in her life that had been lost for a long while. Kagome looked at the femme half- breed, wondering what she was doing. Suddenly, when their eyes met, something in both of their minds triggered.
"It's all right, Lady...?" The half-breed said to Kagome.
"Kagome... Higurashi Kagome," she said back.
Again, the half-breed looked at her, in the eyes, and seemed to think of something that would... change Kagome's life forever.
"Kagome...? I'm Sarolta... Do you remember that name.. At all?"
"No.."
"Ah... I am your sister."
"My what? I never had a sister! At least not a half-breed sister."
"What do you think you are? You're a half-breed also, and to prove it... You've got powers. Plus, I can't believe you were reincarnated to Kikyo!"
"Then tell me what happened!" Kagome demanded.
"We must go someplace and talk..." Sarolta said and took Kagome's wrist. She walked her to a field and sat down under a tree, pulling Kagome down next to her, but gently.
"Well?" Kagome said impatiently, wondering what was going on all ready.
"Okay... Our father was the great cat demon known as Shinobu. He was as great as the phantom dog demon, whom is Inuyasha's father, Inutashio -- "
"How do you know Inuyasha?!" Kagome interrupted.
"My father told me about him. Shinobu and Inutashio never got along, hence the saying dogs hate cats and cats hate dogs. However, I have stayed away from their two battles'. You were born five years after I was, by our human mother, Yuki. Shinobu loved humans, especially Yuki. We were born with differences only because every sibling in the family doesn't always turn out to be the same. Anyway, when you were born, I was out and about with Shinobu. You were born as a reincarnation of Priestess Kikyo and I only got to see you for a second before Shinobu and I could stop Yuki from giving you away to the present, where you once lived. You, my young sister, are a reincarnation of the strongest priestess AND part of the family of the great cat demon, Shinobu," Sarolta said with calmness.
"How come I always looked like a human?" Kagome was very curious on that account.
"When Yuki gave you away to the present times, she cast a spell on you to make you look human, so you could blend in with other humans. The spell was to come off when you got heartbroken, which you have, and when that was to happen, you were supposed to go unconscious and get teleported back to me so I could bewitch you again. But that was only if you were in the present times. Right now, you are in feudal Japan, and your looks will stay the same until you decide to go back to the present," Sarolta explained.
"How come I didn't know about my powers until after fifteen years?"
"Your powers' were to be bewitched just like your looks, however, it was set to where you would get them when you are fifteen. However, you would be sent here and I would help you learn how to control them, so you could return to the present, safe," she explained again.
"All right..." Kagome said, unsure of herself.
"Remember: we were born under the greatest cat demon of all; we are sisters. I will stick by you, everywhere we go, and I'll be there for you when ever you need help; Where ever, when ever. Can I be your sister and stick by your side until you decide to return?"
"Yes..."
And Kagome looked at her newly found sister, Sarolta, and smiled. Sarolta smiled back. Soon... they set off to continue Kagome's journey.
