Chapter Ten (What! Father and Daughter?)
Next day....
Kagome once again woke up. She dressed slowly, almost as if she was stalling. Kagome wondered why she felt this need to go so slowly. She looked outside to see the bright sun, and closed her eyes at the warmth its rays gave her that were coming through the window. Deciding to ignore the feeling, she finished dressing quickly. She couldn't wait to get outside.
She didn't want any company at the moment, she crept around the empty halls slowly, listening out for anything that moved. Once she reached the gardens, she took in a big breath. It was such a beautiful day today. Just as the feeling came, it was replaced with a sense of foreboding. Kagome frowned.
It was than that she looked up to see black clouds moving in at an alarming rate. Somehow Kagome knew that those were not rain clouds. She than felt it, the presence, the undeniable presence of true evil itself. It was him ... he was coming.
She ran back into house at a fast run. She knew that he would hide his presence from them. Only she could feel it, for she... had his blood flowing in her veins, but she also had the blood of the fourth soul moving in her veins.
She burst through the dinning room doors where she felt everyone's presence. Everyone looked up to see a panicked look on Kagome's face.
"Get ready to fight. He's here." Kagome said in a trembling voice.
"Who?" Sessh asked.
"Hades." She said quietly.
Everyone rose from the tables.
"Shippo, you stay here with Rin and Koenma. I need to know that they are safe." Kagome ordered.
Shippo nodded, "You can count on me."
"Go to my room. I've already put a barrier up." She instructed.
The three scurried off, Koenma reluctantly, it was after all his castle.
"Just go Koenma. I don't need to know that my new-found-cousin got hurt."
Koenma froze. "What!" But before Koenma could say anything else, Shippo pulled him by the hand to Kagome's room, knowing his mother would explain everything later.
Kagome mentally thanked Shippo and let out a relieved breath.
"I hope you guys are ready to face the devil." She said nervously.
Everyone just looked at her. How many secrets did this tiny figure harbor? Would they ever know them all?
"How bout I explain later?" Kagome said, hoping they wouldn't ask more questions. It was just like her to let something that important to slip.
"You better believe we want an explanation, Kagome." Kurama said warningly, "I don't forget so you better think up a good answer."
Kagome nodded and let out a relieved breath when they let it go.
"What is his reason here Kagome?" Sessh asked.
Kagome did not want to answer that question, but they needed to know. "... He wants out of hell.... and I'm his key."
Not wanting to say more, she quickly turned around, heading for the doors. "Lets go." She called out.
Yusuke, than Sesshoumaru, Kurama, and lastly Hiei, followed the girl outside. It was hard not to notice how tense Kagome looked. Her back was so straight that it seemed as if you hit it, it would snap in too.
Yusuke gulped. Out of all the things he thought he was going to battle, Hades hadn't crossed his mind. Now here they were walking to fight in a battle with the devil. His life was messed up. He looked at Kagome again... even if he was scared, he would stay with her through anything. Though, it didn't help that he felt like he was walking toward his death wish.
But once outside, all thoughts escaped their minds except for one word.... "F!"
Hiei, Kurama, and Yusuke gaped at the thousand and thousands of youkais there. Kagome looked straight at Hades standing in the middle, taller than any of them. He was exactly the same, nothing had changed. Well maybe that he had gotten more evil, but was that even possible?
"My my my, look at this interesting group." Hades voice rang out over the field. Tension filled the air, you could almost choke in it.
Kagome was doing everything to hold her self back and not just attack him right there. She knew his battle plan. It was too intimidate. Always to intimidate. The worst thing was that it looked to be working.
"Ah... my dear, dear Kagome. It's been so long." (Hades)
"Not long enough it seems." (Kagome)
"Now, I know you have missed me. I have sure missed you in the realm of hell. You never visit me." (Hades)
"Cut the talk, why are you here?" (Kagome)
"You know why I'm here my sweet, I'm sure your mother does too." (Hades)
Kagome's control was slipping visibly.
"Keep mother out of this, she has nothing to do with it. I'm your component so I'd advise you to stay focused on me."
Hades laughed, "Just like your mother. The same determination. But she was just so gullible. I used her and threw her away. Don't you see Kagome? She is the center of the problem. Ha! Your mother is the cause of your grief with a certain hanyou. Now what was his name? Ahh yes... Inuyasha."
Kagome's eyes were turning red. No one, talked about her mother like that.
Calm down my daughter. This is what he wants you to do, to get mad. Kagome relaxed visibly. It was her mother's voice.
"I miss you mother."
"I miss you too my little Kagome."
Hades noticed the calmness of his daughter and narrowed his eyes. That meant Midoriko was here. He smiled.
"Ah... I see your mother paid us a visit." Kagome focused her attention back on the evil figure.
"She has a message for you...." Kagome said, her words laced with anger.
"What would that be?" Hades asked mockingly.
"....that, you'll never get the jewel." Kagome finished.
Kagome looked up with a smirk on his face.
Hades growled with anger.
"I believe you haven't met your old friend Kagome."
With a wave of his hand a figure clad in a baboon pelt appeared. Both Kagome and Sesshoumaru growled.
"I increased his power, I do hope you have fun with him, and oh these thousand of demons too. Think of this as a gift from me... father.... to daughter."
Disbelief filled the air. Sesshoumaru, Hiei, Kurama, and Yusuke were beyond shocked. Words couldn't describe their feelings. Disbelief though, was a big part of it.
Kagome's control slipped. Her father had forgotten one thing, she was a demon.
"And I have a gift for you... Father." Kagome said, her voice so cold it could freeze an ocean.
Kagome willed her concealment spell to break and turned into her real form. Now stood a taller Kagome, the white kimono she was wearing grew with her, Her hair now cascaded down to her ankles, silver and blue streaks through them, a crescent moon with a tear drop in the middle adorned her forehead, and her eyes, now a vibrant blue, she was stunning, like an angel.
She pulled out her kodachis, Hades winced, his weapon.
"This is for me."
The kodachis started to glow blue, Kagome along with them. Her power rose dramatically. The demons around her took steps back.
"I want to thank you father, for the skills you passed on to me with the kodachis.
With out another thought she jumped up, floating in the air, she started to chant, in a language as old as the gods, "Kazu no Kira Rose."
Kagome slashed with her two swords, creating an X in the air that descended to the ground at the thousands of demons, killing everything evil in its path. Naraku might of not have been there at all for he died with the rest of the thousands of demons.
Kagome turned back to Hades.
"And this is for mother."
She crossed the swords in front of her, a blue orb forming in the middle of the X. "Pure evolution!" She pulled her arms back, breaking the X and releasing the blue orb to head straight for Hades.
Hades was too stunned to move, but not to stunned to feel the pain. The blue orb hit him right where his heart was supposed to be, infusing him with his daughter's pure power. His evil aura started to burn, and he screamed out in pain. His black aura clashed with his daughter's white one.
He looked up at her.
"I will be back. You can count on it." With those last words he disappeared
Kagome descended back to earth. "I'll be waiting."
When she reached the ground she was rewarded with the stares of four pairs of eyes.
She knew they had questions. "Questions later, rest now." With that said, she fainted.
Kurama caught her and looked down at her face. He just couldn't believe it. How could a being that looked so innocent hold that much power. It's her gift. Kurama heard a voice in his head that he knew wasn't Youko. 'Who are you?' A mother. But he had to wonder. Was it a gift.... or was it a curse?
Kurama looked back down on her. 'You may not need to protected physically, but I know you need to be protected mentally and that, I will help you with. 'Sweet dreams my love.' Kurama didn't know if it was just him, but he swore he thought he saw her smile. He smiled back, they would get through with this and be together. He would find out everything about her and she would him. 'Your ours Kagome, mine's and Youko. Once we've found you, we're not letting go.' Without even thinking about he transformed into Youko. Kagome's smile grew wider. Youko raised an eyebrow. He didn't know if it was just his imagination but he could of sword Kagome answered him. "Who said I would run."
The other's stood back and looked at the couple on the floor. They blinked once and saw two ancient gods sitting there. Unbelieving they blinked again. They were normal again. It seemed that there was more to this than the surface showed. It was a deep secret that seemed would never be discovered. All eyes were on the sleeping figure in the foxes arm, who was she? The sun ray's slowly penetrated the dark clouds, it's light once again reaching the earth, would they ever find out?

How was that? Good? Bad? tell me what you think! Review!!!!
