Chapter Six (Truths revealed)
"Your lying"
"No, it's the truth."
"all right who killed you?"
"You want to know?"
"Yeah who had supposedly killed you."
"I was killed by a dead miko priestess who was jealous because she thought the person i loved, who she loved, didn't love her anymore so she killed me to get him back and her soul back." Kagome said in one long sentence that left the others wide eyed and confused.
The others looked at her, once again with shock. She looked at their faces and laughed. She couldn't remember a time when she laughed this hard. The expressions on their faces was just priceless.
Yusuke's eyes were so big and wide that Kagome was afraid they would fall out. Kurama's jaw was hanging down, Kagome had to restrain herself from laughing harder. And Hiei, Hiei was the funniest, his eyes were both wide and his jaw was hanging down. Kagome couldn't hold in her laughter at that.
"Your kidding right Kagome, you've got to be kidding." Yusuke said in horror.
She looked him straight in the eye and let out a big sigh, done with the laughing.
"I'm afraid it's all true ever single bit of it." Kagome said.
"But how could this happen and what is a miko?" Yusuke asked.
Before she could answer Kurama spoke up. "A miko is like a woman monk, they were priestesses that protected a village from demons. I've or rather Youko has had enough encounters with them to know. They are really scary and ugly."
Kagome was angry. Did he just insult her?
'No he insulted mikos in general'
Who the heck are you. (Kagome)
'Your self conscious.'
Oh, didn't know I had one. Anyway I'm still part of that group. Kagome
'Don't you think he's cute.'
Yeah he is very hand... hey stop that. (Kagome)
'Ah... so you do like him. '
No I don't I'm just curious. (Kagome)
'Right'
Shut up and leave me alone. (Kagome)
'Fine. I'll be back though'
Kagome sighed. Great, now she was arguing with her self. Remembering where she was, she turned her attention back to Kurama.
"You have no clue what you are talking about Kurama or Youko, whatever your name is."
"Kurama please. Oh, and how do you know what a miko is."
"Because I just know."
Youko and Kurama's teasing manner were mixing to make a deadly combination.
'This will be fun'- Youko said.
"Yes that is just such convincing evidence" Kurama said in a mocking tone to Kagome.
Kagome was getting annoyed now. She groaned.
"I just know okay. Oh god. Why is that I have to meet such arrogant, cocky, jerks. Am I just destined to deal with their attitudes?" Kagome said the last part mostly to herself but Kurama heard every word.
Kurama chuckled at her antics. She looked cute like that.
Wait... did i just think that. (Kurama)
'Ah... see, you are taking a liking to her.' (Youko)
Oh no, not you again Youko. Kurama said.
'Shut up Kurama. Your lucky I haven't tackled her right there and take her now.' Youko retorted.
Please don't.
Kurama fisted both his hand's together trying to fend off Youko. He turned his attention back to Kagome when Youko calmed down a bit.
"You know, I'm still not convinced you know what a real miko looks like. I think your just lying." Kurama said.
"Am not." (kag)
"Are too." (kur)
"Not." (kag)
"Too." (kur)
Yusuke looked from Kurama back to Kagome. Well they seem to like each other. I've never seen Kurama act this playful before. Yusuke thought.
"Not" (kag)
"Too." (kur)
"Okay fine. You want to know why I know mikos aren't what you say they are?" Kagome said.
"Yeah, at least bring some convincing evidence to help your lie out." Kurama answered.
Kagome growled that suspiciously sounded demonic. Kurama narrowed his eyes.
Did you hear that Youko? (Kurama)
'Yes that sounded like a kitsune's growl. Strange' (Youko)
"Well I'm a... a...a..." (kag)
"A what?" Kurama asked. His curiosity now at a peak.
"A... a... miko okay! I'm a miko priestess."
Kurama was shocked. Yusuke was shocked. Hiei was shocked. Kuwabara was confused.
"Your lying." (kur)
"Am not!" (kag)
"Prove it." (kur)
"Fine. There is just no trust in the world anymore." Kagome muttered the last part mostly to herself but Kurama heard.
She got a hold of one of her kodachi's causing Kurama to tense.
"Don't worry, I don't purify demons without a reason. Although, I think your cockiness should count as an important enough reason."
Kurama paled. Yusuke laughed. Hiei looked indifferent and Kuwabara was still confused.
Kagome cut about a five inch long line along her left arm, hard enough to draw blood. Yusuke was about to yell at her when he saw a white light admitting from her right hand.
Kurama, as well at the others, watched intently as the wound slowly heal until there was no trace,like it was never even there.
" Okay. Now I officially believe in magic." Yusuke said.
"Cool. So you are pretty and have cool powers! You wouldn't want to be my girlfriend now would you?" Kuwabara said at Kagome.
Kurama had to hold Youko back from strangling Kuwabara to death. An image of Youko with his hands around Kuwabara's neck squeezing and shaking him so hard Kurama was sure the head would fall off.
Kurama laughed mentally at that. Though he wouldn't mind doing the same thing. Just in a more civilized way like hitting him in the head over and over with a base ball bat. Come to think of it, maybe the strangling was more civilized. Huh, guess I'll just have to try it out on someone, Kurama thought, looking straight at Kuwabara.
Going back to the matter at hand and repressing the urge to break Kuwabara's head he turned back to Kagome.
"So it's true you are miko." Kurama said.
Kagome nodded. "Yeah, the miko with the hardest job" she muttered under her breath.
"What was that?"
"I said nothing."
He slowly advanced on her. Forgetting the others in the room for just a minute. Kagome looked him straight in the eye. Not afraid.
"We need to know Kagome. We need as much info as we can find."
"For what? I've answered your questions, now it's my turn."
"Who are you working for?"
"Prince Koenma."
That name pulled a trigger in her mind. Where had she heard that name before? It seemed so familiar.
"Koenma? Who's he."
"He is currently the protector of humans from demons. Right now there is a disturbance in the demon world having to do with their king." AN: (Is that right? I'm not sure what Koenma is. All I know is that he's a prince.)
"Who's their king?"
"His uncle... Hades."
That struck a nerve in Kagome. Hades. Hades. She knew him. She was a part of him. Images flashed in front of her eyes. Of her mother, of the sacrifice she had to made, of the destruction her father had caused, his face searing into her mind. Her mother... Midoriko. She called out for her mother unknowingly.
Kurama was worried when her eyes suddenly became blank and glazed over. Yusuke came over and put his arms around her.
"Hey Kagome what's wrong?" There was no answer from the still girl.
Suddenly her arms raised out, "mother" they heard her whisper. Kurama gripped her arms tightly. She gripped back just as hard. She seemed to calm down a little when her hand came in contact with Kurama.
Yusuke looked at their locked hands. Their was a connection between the two. There was no doubt about it. He hesitantly gave Kagome over to Kurama. When she was completely in Kurama's arms she seem to calm down.
As if she didn't know she was doing it she spoke out.
"The answer to your question is that I'm the miko priestess. I'm the protector of the cursed jewel."
"What jewel Kagome?" Kurama asked softly even though he knew the answer, he had already guessed. Kagome was no normal human. She had blocked off Hiei easily who was supposed to be the fastest demon ever. She was more powerful than anyone would ever think.
"I'm protector of the Shikon No Tama... the jewel of the four souls. The fourth soul of the jewel is..."
"Is who Kagome?" Kurama whispered softly into her ear.
"Is the person I've never thought existed, my real... "
"Your real?"
"... Mother. My real mother."
There was silence in the room.

Midoriko was standing in a field when she felt a sharp pang in her heart. She knows... she knows.
