Sometimes, the Glass just Breaks
Illustrious Sorrow
Chapter 5: And learn of your destiny
Kagome groggily opened her eyes. Her head was throbbing in pain, as was her shoulder and arm. Stiffening, Kagome realized that a demon was in the room with her, as well as another. Kagome wearily cast her eyes around the room and saw the small, black clothed demon called Hiei, and the Lady of Death.
"My Queen, how are-."
"Where am I?"
"The spirit world."
"Why did you bring me here?"
"It was your own will that I do so."
"I never asked you to do this."
"In your past life you did."
"In my past life I was a bitch called Kikyo."
"No, you were never the re-incarnation of that girl."
"Oh? Hey why do I look like her?"
"The Shikon no Tama chose you as its guardian. It is what gave you the appearance of Kikyo."
"I see."
"Please my lady, would you come with me?"
Kagome looked at the blue haired girl suspiciously before nodding her head and climbing out of the bed. (A/n hey! That rhymed!)
"I will come."
"Great! Follow me!" Botan sped on her way down the hall, followed at a slower pace by Hiei and Kagome.
"You didn't attack me or my son earlier, why?"
"I could not, it is not allowed by my blood. Kurama could get past it as he is in a human body, but it cost him pain to do so."
"I see, and why is it not allowed?"
Hiei frowned at her,
"Because you are the queen. No male demon may attack you."
"Queen?" Kagome looked at the demon, puzzled.
"Hn." Hiei stopped speaking and Kagome simply shrugged it off. She was used to that kind of behavior.
"So, where are we going, exactly?"
"We're going to see Koenma-sama! You and he used to be great friends!" Botan's cheery voice rang down the hall.
"Come on now, we're almost there!"
Kagome walked a small ways further and stopped in front of a large door. Botan jumped off her paddle and knocked.
"Come in!" A voice sounded through the door, tired and harassed. Botan led the way in and the doors opened to reveal a baby, sitting behind a mountain of paper work.
"Botan, what is it? Hiei? Who is this?"
"This sir, is Kagome Hirigeshi, the Sakigake* Queen."
"This is she?" Koenma looked up eagerly.
"You have indeed returned. The last time you were alive, you were under the name of Mikodora-sama (a/n is that right?), but I sense that you have gained all of your powers this time around."
"What are you talking about?"
"Botan, didn't you explain to her?"
"Ehehehe.funny story..ah.no."
Koenma sighed, "Alright then I will tell you." He looked around,
"Please, have a seat."
Kagome wearily looked around and sat on a comfortable looking chair, though she said straight up and at attention.
"You are the Sakigake Queen. The harbinger queen. Sometimes called the *Sogi Queen or the Yokai Queen. You are the queen over all Yokai and as such, you are a full demon. However, you are also a full miko and you have an immense amount of Spiritual energy. You are a contradiction in all aspects. You are on of the weakest of demons, a fox, but the strongest of them, the Sundance Fox. You are, as queen, the most powerful Yokai as well.
"You are a fire fox, but mikos are water and earth. No male can attack you, but few females will like you. You are not a mother, but you have a kit. You were born human, but you are Yokai. The list goes on and on. You are the spoken of in the prophecy, you must unite the Yokai and the ningens, or both of the worlds will be destroyed."
Kagome sat in silence after Koenma's impassioned speech.
"What is this prophecy?"
"It is that a queen over all Yokai will come, that she will be the opposite of everything she is, and that if she does not unite the Yokai and the humans, they will all die. In order to do this, she must find the three *Soy Nay items or she will fail.
"The prophecy is not descriptive, as you can see, and most of it was lost through time and translation. This is only the bare bones of the prophecy."
"How do you know that this queen is me?"
"Well, you are a full Yokai, Miko, and spirit *Senshi, you are female, and I was great friends with you in your past life, and she told me what to expect."
"I see. What are these items I must find?"
"A sword, a dagger, and a mirror. The sword is called *Hakai Suru, the dagger named *Mamoru, and the mirror, Kaiso suru. They are your proof that you are Queen, symbols of office, if you will. They will also help you to bind together the Yokai and ningen, though how I do not know. You wrote a book, and hid it, somewhere far away. You never told me where, so I cannot help you, but it would be a good idea to find it as well. There is a good chance that I'm missing something important."
"Hai. Do you have any idea of how I'm supposed to find these, Soi nai items?"
"You need to sense them, using the jewel of your heart."
"The jewel of my heart? But the Shikon jewel is gone."
"Not the Shikon jewel, the jewel that resides in you, the jewel that every person has. How good or evil they are shapes the jewel, shapes its size, color, purity, and form. You must find your jewel and use it to find the Soi nai items."
"Arigato, Koenma-sama. Is there anything else?"
"Iie. Feel free to explore the Makai, as you desire, or to go home. Have you learned how to create a portal?"
"Hai. I will go home. Goodbye Koenma-sama."
"Goodbye Kagome-sama. Gomen for the rude.invitation to see me."
"It is forgiven." With that, Kagome vanished from the office of Koenma, re- appearing in her home, to see the anxious gaze of her son watching her.
TO BE CONTINUED.
Author's Note: Hope you liked the chapter. I had planned to start the pairings in this chapter, but I decided to post instead. So the next chapter will be the beginning. The poll is over, it will be a Hiei/Kagome pairing. *smile* Gomen to all you Kurama/Kagome fans, I hope you'll all continue reading.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed, I'm sorry that I can't thank each of you individually, but that really takes forever, and so I'm just going to post a general thanks and maybe put up a chapter with review responses. Thanks again!
Thanks to: Houseki, Kuramafan, MarsMoonStar, SilentDark, Star Silver fox, Raven Shadow Sorrow and night, Valkyrie Nienna Helyanwe, oro, kagome11492, Totoro, hiei is mine forever, ^.^, nyczbabigrl, estrella, liz, kasamaru, karo, Kikyo-hater, Sierra-Falls, Tiger_blaze, Fallen Dragon, DemonLady1, Kuramasgrl123, Roxy0729, ..., ladyofthedragons1, Demon-of-Darkness, BabbleQueen, Naluina, CrimsonBlades16, animechickie, thekiit, Lady of Dragons, Artemis the Goddess, Demon Kitty, Dark Topaz, star kitty, shingami02, Inu Youkai-Hime, Crystal Moon Dragon.
Thank you all so much for reviewing, I'm glad you all like it enough that you are sticking with the story, despite my prolonged absence. I'm sorry to say that there will probably be a wait before the next chapter. Finals are coming up in around a month, and my teachers are cracking down. Evil bastards. Oh well. I'll try to write up a new chapter soon.
I'm sorry that some of you are finding this story confusing. What's happened so far is that everyone in the past is dead except for Kagome and Shippo, who have gone to Kagome's time. Inuyasha is in hell with Kikyo. Kagome is now revealed as the Queen of Youkai, or the Sakigake Queen. She was, in her past life, Mikodora. She is very powerful and is responsible for uniting the demons and the humans or both races will become extinct. She must find the three Soi Nai items to prove her as queen, and possibly for another reason. That's it so far. Hope that clarifies a bit. If anyone is still confused, if they could tell me exactly what they are confused with, I could maybe explain it better.
The votes ended up with: 23 Hiei/Kagome and 15 Kurama/Kagome. Hiei/Kagome wins! *Sakigake: Harbinger *Sogi: Funeral *Soi nai- Unquestionable *Hakai Suru- Destroy *Mamoru- protect *Kaiso suru- Reminisce (recollect)
