A/N: Sorry about not updating in such a long time…its just been so crazy around here that I can't get on the computer as often as I'd like to. Yes…I know that last chapter Miroku was OOC…but I needed that squabble to add a bit of humor. My fan fiction is coming along great thanks to you the readers and reviewers. Thanks to you…I get new ideas everyday for this fan fiction…and enjoy the up coming chapters. ^_^
Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha, and don't plan to…well…I want to…but I can't…oh well.
Chapter 3: A Mysterious Encounter
Kagome walked off not knowing where she was going. She walked until she was so deep into the forest that the sun couldn't shine through the trees. She stopped and looked around trying to find her way to the well.
She didn't recognize anything around her and soon became scared and lost. She sat down and brought her knees to her chest and rested her chin on her knees. She remembered that when she was dragged down the well, she only got away because of a pink glow that surrounded her and flashed in all directions.
She closed her eyes when that happened and abruptly opened them when she hit the bottom of the well hard. She wondered what the pink glow was. She closed her eyes tightly hoping it was nothing but a bad dream.
She sat there for awhile wishing she would wake up or somebody, anybody, would find her. A pair of red eyes flashed between the leaves watching Kagome carefully, as she felt very strong to be a normal ningen.
The eyes blinked confusedly as they felt the power of the Shikon no Tama. They stepped out of the bushes and looked at Kagome with the red eyes. Kagome looked up at the figure.
The figure was clad in black armor and had a black cloak on. They had long, pointy, elf-like ears, a dragon tail, which was hidden mostly by his cloak. He had long ebony black hair, which was pulled back into a low pony-tail.
Kagome blinked up at the figure and said, "W…who are you?"
The figure stared hard at her and said, "My name is Yume-kami-" Kagome thought, 'Dream god…that is what his name means…maybe he was the one giving me those dreams, and now that I'm here, they're stronger, maybe he can help me…' "-I have been looking for you…Kagome."
Kagome blinked and said, "H…how do you…know my name?" He said in reply to her, "I have been looking for you and your strength." "What do you mean my strength?"
Yume-kami blinked at her confused and said, "Do you not know what you are?" "Nani?" "Kagome, you are a miko. You posses magic that no ordinary ningen does. Your magic awakened when you were dragged into the well by that demon. If you were to shoot an arrow. The arrow would be carrying your magic and purify the demon, therefore killing them."
Kagome just stared at Yume-kami in disbelief and said, "A…a miko? But how? I'm not descended of any mikos." "Your not descended of mikos, rather, the reincarnation of one of the strongest mikos ever."
"Reincarnation…of the strongest miko ever?" Yume-kami just nodded at her question.
If Kagome had been standing, she most likely would have collapsed and landed smack on her ass. She just sat there for a while, feeling over-whelmed and tired, as well as dumbfounded((no surprise there…)).
Yume-kami's tail twitched under the cloak he wore and said, "A very powerful jewel lays embedded in you Kagome. You are the reincarnation of the miko charged to protect the Shikon no Tama. More commonly known as the Jewel of Four Souls."
Kagome just sat there completely lost and said, "Is that the reason the demon pulled me down the well?" "Yes. Now, return to the hanyou and monk and tell them what you learned, but do not tell them about the Jewel of Four Souls. The hanyou just might rip you to shreds for it. Good day lady."
With that he disappeared into the shadows as Kagome stood on wobbly legs only to fall back down.
A/N: Finally got this one done! ^_^ Gomen nasai for taking so long in getting updated, but I have just been really busy lately and I have had a major case of writer's block. I hate writer's block so much…well…I have a new fan fiction going as well…so I better get to updating that one now. ^^;; I know I'm probably going to get complaints about not updating this one right away…but I have a life and another fan fiction…so XP!
