Betrayal

Chapter 13
"Who are you?" Kagome asked as she tried to catch a glimpse of the figure hiding in the
shadows of the forest. Her hands held her bow ready before her, an arrow ready to fire,
glowing the soft pink of her energy.
"Are you scared little miko?" the voice asked. It was a deep soothing voice that made her
relax against sound reasoning. "You should be. There are many scary things in this
forest."
"Are you one of those scary things?" she asked challenging him.
"No, hardly am I a scary thing." the voice chuckled. She couldn't help but smile a bit.
Realizing what she was doing she shook her head roughly trying to pull herself back
together.
"Why hide in the shadows if you're not a scary thing? Come join me at my fire." she said
in a steady voice motioning with her bow to the fire she had blazing next to her.
"Do I get a chance to explain myself before I'm pierced with your amazing arrows?" the
voice asked amused.
She paused thoughtfully. This could be a trap yet I sense nothing evil from this being she
concluded. "Fine." the bow disintegrated in her hands and she was weaponless except for
her dagger she kept strapped to her side.
The shadow came closer to the light and she had to hold back a gasp at the sight of the
demon before her. He was beautiful she thought amazed looking at him. He had short
blue hair that lay down sticking out and icy gray eyes, with two sky blue stripes gracing
each cheek. On top of his head was two small white cat ears. He must have been at least
seven feet tall she thought, her head craning back to look at him. He was dressed in a
black chinese fighting outfit with a light blue dragon wrapping around the design and two
tails much like Kirara's twitched behind him with light blue tips. Her face became
thoughtful as she looked at him carefully, her eyes rested on his forehead where a small
blue crescent moon facing the opposite direction Sesshomaru's did with a blue star by it
was.
She quickly struggled to her feet and bowed to the lord of the northern lands. Not many
people knew what he looked like as he was rarely seen but his symbol was well known.
"My lord." she murmured.
He just smiled at her. "No need for such things child. I don't really like them."
She smiled in return, she was beginning to like this man. She sat down in her spot and
motioned for him to join her as she grabbed the tea pot she had heating over it. "Would
you like some tea....?" she asked waiting for his name.
"Shido." he supplied as he sat down. "Yes I would."
Nodding her head she reached into her small pack and drew out two cups and poured him
some hot water and added a tea bag into it before handing it to him. Nodding his thanks
he drank it as she did the same.
After a period of silence he spoke up. "I'm sure you're wondering why I'm here."
"I didn't think I was in the northern lands." she said.
"You're not but there was word of a traveling miko who was very powerful."
"I'm not that powerful." she said.
"I wouldn't say as much. In fact I'd have to say you're more powerful then the great
Midoriko." she blushed at the compliment. "You see there aren't many miko's left and I
remembered a tale of a miko who used to travel with a strange group to beat the evil
hanyou Naraku for the jewel shards of the Shikon no Tama. It was said she was also quiet
powerful but disappeared at the end of the battle after she completed the jewel and was
attacked by the hanyou she was friends with. He took the jewel and made a wish to be a
full demon and the jewel returned to the miko as he attacked her and she ran and
supposedly reached her home and was safe."
"She did make it home safe." she said lifting her chin up a bit as she spoke to him.
He chuckled. "It's no good to lie to me child. I know that you are her, the miko Kagome.
I also know that you still protect the Shikon no Tama yet don't know why am I correct?"
"A wish was made." she said, her shoulders drooped slightly as she accepted the fact that
he knew the truth. "It shouldn't be here anymore. Do you know why?"
"Unfortunately I don't child." she sighed. "Don't worry... What are you called now?
Don't want to give your position away to the one that hunts you."
She looked at him grinning happily. "Jade. The name's Jade."
"Well Jade I have a proposition. I'm getting old."
"You don't look that old." she murmured looking at him.
He smiled. "Thank you. Good to know I don't look as old as I feel. I am without a heir
though and I want someone who is strong and can make good choices to take over for
me. I want you to be my heir."
She looked at him in surprise. "But-but..."
"But?"
"My kit, my companions. I can't give up my life as a traveler. It's all I know."
"I don't expect you to give it up completely." he said resting a placating hand on her
shoulders. "You would stay in my lands with me and learn what you need to know and
can travel in between your lessons and your companions can join us."
"Yuri and Bolt?"
"Yes." he chuckled. "It would seem I had heard right that you had adopted a small
kitsune taking it under your wing. She will learn how to fight so she can protect herself.
I'm not going to say this is an easy thing. You'll have enemies and there will be people
who won't like you at all, basically because you're a human and you're taking over my
job which many are fighting over amongst themselves for the minute I die. Think about it
for awhile."
She turned to look into the blazing fire noticing it was going down she pointed a finger at
it annoyed making a fire out of her energy again to keep warm. 'I am beginning to get
tired of constantly traveling, but politics? Mom did say I was good at them. Maybe I can
do this. He wouldn't ask if he didn't think I could handle it. Can I do it? Am I ready for
such a responsibility?' her hand slipped into her huge sleeve and touched the small pouch
that was sewn inside it holding the completed Shikon no Tama. 'He's entirely
trustworthy as far as I'm concerned. He could have killed me already if that was what he
wanted to do. I don't see why not.' her eyes glittered happily as she turned to face him.
He looked curiously waiting for her answer.
"Shido you got yourself a deal." she grinned.
He held out his hand for her to shake but she surprised him by jumping over to him and
hugging him. After a thoughtful moment he hugged her back smiling.
She finally pulled back and looked at him thoughtfully as she felt something weird.
"Were you the one spreading rumors about that demon that would attack children and
take their souls?"
"No, I didn't know there was such a thing about." he said in reply looking at her
bewildered.
"Incoming." she said grinning happily as she pushed his shoulders shoving him
backwards and she leapt the opposite direction just as a huge demon came flying to the
spot where they had just stood.
Kagome stood up gracefully, wiping off imaginary dust. "You must be Yami." she said
looking at the filthy scaly beast with disgust. The demons small squinty eyes narrowed on
her and he grinned maniacally showing two rows on top and bottom of pointed teeth.
"Is that healthy?" she asked raising a brow questioning. "A dentist would probably pull
out a row in each so you don't have such a problem."
The demon screamed confused, not understanding what she was saying and leapt at her.
She nimbly moved out of the way forming her sword as it came past her scoring a hit to
its shoulder. She spun to face it again as it attacked her again with its huge claws. She
held her sword before her to block it and shifting the sword she threw it backwards and
moved the sword again cutting it in the stomach.
A wretched stench filled the air and she tried not to puke at it. She had cut the intestines,
which were now spilling onto the ground as the demon cried out in pain squirming on the
ground. She walked to its head holding her breath. 'Quick and merciful.' she thought as
she quickly cut off its head.
She stepped back watching as it turned to dust and the lost souls of the children he'd
eaten came free and floated away. She allowed her sword to disappear when she heard
clapping. She turned to find Shido there smiling. Blushing forgetting that he was there
she smiled shyly at him.
"It would seem that you are a better fighter then I had heard. I didn't even sense that
thing until it was upon us."
She grinned happily under his praise. "Thank you. So when do I start?"
He smiled at her enthusiasm. "You start the minute you're ready to come with your two
companions."
"Well then," she began picking up her pack and putting out the magic fire. "I'm ready
right now. How about we go to the village where I left them at then we can go back to
your lands?"
"Sounds like a plan." he chuckled warmly as he fell in step beside her as she began to
head back toward the village.
"Company I can actually talk to." she said with a faint smile.
"You don't talk to many others?"
"Well it's not that but I'm always on the move following rumors and stopping at villages
to help with sickness. I haven't had anybody to actually talk to in a long time. Yuri is a
great kid but she's just that, a kid. She doesn't know about a lot of the things that are
happening or have happened. Bolt doesn't talk at all I found." she said with a dramatic
sigh and he laughed at her antics.
"Have you run into any of your old companions or seen them since your 'safe return
home?'" he asked her curiously.
"Yes in fact I have. I usually check in on Sango, Shippo and Miroku once a month if I
can, but usually it's once every three months that I can get back. They just don't know
I'm there." she had a thoughtful look on her face. "I also recently had a run in with the
lord of the western lands that involved me getting kidnapped twice." she said this with
bitterness and annoyance evident in her voice. "I also saw Kouga there."
A small smile tugged at his lips as he listened to her speak. It would seem she doesn't
know of the lords affections for her. he thought amused. Then again not too many people
knew to begin with but he did. He watched with amusement as she climbed one of the
trees and jumped from branch to branch before she landed on a bad one and it broke
underneath her. She fell heavily to the ground but got up again with a sheepish smile on
her face as she muttered to herself. "Stupid demons make that look so easy."
He was now smiling widely. If she wasn't able to handle the lands well at least she was
enough for entertainment he thought chuckling soundlessly as they continued on their
way to the village.
After a couple hours of walking they were very close to the village when Kagome
stopped walking almost making the demon lord plow her over when he didn't notice her
pause right away. He looked at her questioning but she wasn't looking at him but around
the forest. She held her hand before her and three throwing stars formed in it. She quickly
let it loose and watched as it sliced through the trees and disappeared from sight followed
by a yelp of fright and a growl. A smile on her face she walked forward with the lord
following behind curiously.
In front of them was a small female kitsune sitting on tip of a huge cat holding the three
throwing stars inspecting them with a careful eye. "Wow kaa-san that was a close one."
the kit murmured before she looked up at Kagome and threw herself into the older girls
ready arms getting hugged.
"I thought I told you and Bolt to stay in the village this time and not come after me." she
scolded lightly as she pecked her on the cheek and scratched the large cat's head.
"But kaa-san those people lied. They don't like demons, the minute you left the children
threw rocks at me and Bolt protected me. They said we were corrupting the powerful
priestess and should be killed before she couldn't be saved." the kit pouted looking up at
her with glossy eyes.
"They did, did they?" Kagome asked in a hard voice, her hair whipped around her in her
sudden spike of energy as she glowed a soft lavender color. She gently set the kit back on
the cat's back. "I will be right back." she said calmly. "Stay here and do not follow me to
see what's happening." she turned to look at Shido. "Please watch them for me. They
have a tendency to not listen to me."
"Do not do anything foolish." was all he said.
"I never do anything foolish." she replied as she walked off toward the village leaving the
three by themselves. The small kit looked curiously, yet somewhat nervously at the man
that had come with her mom. She jumped off the cat's back and walked closer to him
cocking her head to the side as she looked up at his tall profile.
"Yes small one?" he asked her as he crouched down to her height.
"You're tall." she grinned. "What's your name?"
He chuckled a bit softly at her happiness. "I'm Shido." he said to the wide-eyed curious
kit.
"Wow so does that mean you're the northern lord?" she asked tilting her head to the
other side.
"Yes that would be me? How did you know that?"
"Kaa-san knows everything, she knows all the different lords and ladies and the rulers of
packs. She makes it a point to visit the ones closest to us a lot to get allowance through
the lands without a problem. We've never gone to the northern lands yet. We just got
back from patrolling in the south."
"What kind of things did you do in the south?"
She flashed him a grin showing her sharp canines, her eyes danced around in amusement
at something. "We went to different villages offering medical help, protection,
exorcisms, and even hunted down bandits. We were even invited to the Southern Lords
home and got to meet him and the lady. They were very nice to us and even offered to
pay kaa-san a lot to stay with them. She turned them down though."
"Oh?" he asked amused. He remembered the letter he recently received from his friend
the southern lord Ryu who was talking about an amazing human. He sounded severely
disappointed that she turned down his offer to live in the castle in a life of luxury for
traveling, healing and fighting, he had his thoughts that it probably was Kagome and now
he knew for certain that it was.
He jumped in slight surprise when he heard a loud bang from off in the distance, but the
other two just seemed to be very calm about it. "What do you think she did this time?"
the small kit asked the cat that now shrunk and was rolling on the ground in laughter.
"I'm betting she did that illusion thing again or maybe...." the kit said excitedly.
"Or maybe she did something new this time." a laughing voice said. They turned to see
Kagome standing there with her eyes dancing in amusement. The kit pouted though her
eyes still held laughter.
"Man and you didn't let me see it this time." she said sticking her tongue out at her
adopted mother.
"So did you guys get acquainted?" she asked looking at them ignoring the kits actions.
"He's the northern lord." the kit chirped happily.
"Uh-huh. Did he tell us what we'll be doing?" she asked looking at him. He shook his
head negatively. "Ok then Yuri, Bolt we're going to live in the northern lands with Shido
here. He has offered me a chance to help him out and he'll see to it that you get your
training still, this of course doesn't mean we'll be giving up our traveling completely. At
least up until when I take over I take it?" she asked looking at him watching as he nodded
his head.
"Wow kaa-san. You're going to be the lady of the Northern Lands?" she asked excitedly.
"Only if it works out. This is a trial and error thing, if I can't handle it after a couple of
months we leave. So what do you two think? Wanna give it a try?" she asked them with a
grin.
She was tackled to the ground by two happily excited youkais. "I'll take that as a yes."
she chuckled as Shido helped her stand up.
"Shall we go now then?" she asked Shido. With a nod of his head Bolt transformed to her
larger state again and Yuri jumped onto her back with Kagome and they all raced off to
the northern lands to start their new lives.

"Who are you?" Kagome asked as she tried to catch a glimpse of the figure hiding in the
shadows of the forest. Her hands held her bow ready before her, an arrow ready to fire,
glowing the soft pink of her energy.

"So did you guys get acquainted?" she asked looking at them ignoring the kits actions.
"He's the northern lord." the kit chirped happily.
"Uh-huh. Did he tell us what we'll be doing?" she asked looking at him. He shook his
head negatively. "Ok then Yuri, Bolt we're going to live in the northern lands with Shido
here. He has offered me a chance to help him out and he'll see to it that you get your
training still, this of course doesn't mean we'll be giving up our traveling completely. At
least up until when I take over I take it?" she asked looking at him watching as he nodded
his head.
"Wow kaa-san. You're going to be the lady of the Northern Lands?" she asked excitedly.
"Only if it works out. This is a trial and error thing, if I can't handle it after a couple of
months we leave. So what do you two think? Wanna give it a try?" she asked them with a
grin.
She was tackled to the ground by two happily excited youkais. "I'll take that as a yes."
she chuckled as Shido helped her stand up.
"Shall we go now then?" she asked Shido. With a nod of his head Bolt transformed to her
larger state again and Yuri jumped onto her back with Kagome and they all raced off to
the northern lands to start their new lives.
