Not What it Seems
Chapter 2 This is Not Me
Minutes late Kagome's lifeless body was still hovering the mid-air. She was engulfed in a faint blue light when slowly and gracefully she began to descend. Her arms unknowingly flew up and she appeared to all who saw her as an angel. Her feet gently touched the ground and Kagome started to regain consciousness.
At the very instant that Kagome opened her eyes a light brighter then the sun, the moon and all of the stars in the heavens shown from them. Kagome blinked and the light that covered the clearing was gone.
*~ Kagome's POV ~* I woke up and all I could remember was immense pain like my skin was being burned off. Then I blacked out. Now I'm standing in this clearing, but something fells different. 'Oh my God, it's late if I don't get back they'll worry, not to mention I'm going to have to listen to Inuyasha,' I thought in a panic.
I hurried and gathered al of my things for some reason I was moving extremely fast, however I was too worried to even notice. I grabbed my bag, fully packed, and was about to run back the way I came when I tripped on the root in front of me and fell hard to the ground. My bag fell and all of my belongings spread everywhere. I hurried and picked them up, for some reason it seemed that some things flew to me and into my bag by me simply wanting them to. "I'm imagining things" I assured myself and was about to pick up the last thing. a mirror.
The mirror was on the other side of the clearing. I wished it wasn't so far away. It suddenly hovered into the air and came towards me. I was amazed as it hovered inches away from my face. One would think that seeing a mirror suddenly float in the air and come towards you would be enough to frighten or amaze most people, I on the other hand was in shock... not only from the odd experience that just happened but by what I saw in the mirror. My reflection was not me. I thought it was some kind of trick, no, I knew it wasn't, but that didn't stop me from wanting it to be. "No" I softly said, "this is not me, it's not' I thought as I ran to the spring. I saw my reflection in the water; it was the same as the mirror. "How can this be?" I said to myself as I dropped to my knees. 'This is not me' I thought over and over in my head. "No!" I screamed, loud enough for the whole forest to hear.
*~Normal POV~*
Kagome had changed greatly on the outside. Her mind, soul and spirit were the same, but her appearance had changed and she was no longer human. She didn't know what she was though she guessed to be youkai. Kagome had on an unreadable expression, secretly she was happy, she was no longer weak or pathetic, or human for that matter, but would her friends understand, Shippo, Sango, Miroko, her Mom, Grandpa and Souta, what would they say?? There was nothing she could do now and Kagome felt guilty for being happy.
Kagome studied herself; she had changed so much she didn't even recognize this new person. She had become more beautiful than she had imagined possible witch made her guilt grow even more. Kagome's hair was dark but not quite black; it was the blue black color of the heavens at midnight. She was also gifted (or cursed) with silver and gold highlights, giving her hair the effect of the night's sky, the moon, and the stars. Kagome's skin was slightly paler. It was a milky white the accented her eyes and hair. Her hair framed her face and had grown to go down to her knees. Kagome's facial (and other) features now made her look older, not much, about 18 or 19. She had also "filled out" a little more in curtain places but, she was not complaining. Her ears were now pointed and elflike. Kagome's eyes were now silver and outlined it gold and shown with there own lunar essence.
Kagome had developed natural "tattoos" I guess you would call them. There was a waxing moon on her forehead. Under her collarbone in the center above her chest there was a silver circle (full moon) on her right shoulder there was a waxing moon and a waning on her left. On Kagome's upper back exactly opposite of the full moon there was a silver circle with a black interior (the new moon). On the small of her back there was a circle surrounded by triangles all a golden color (the sun). On Kagome's (flat) stomach there was a symbol, a waxing then full then waning moon, )O(. Her navel was in the middle of the full moon.
Kagome was also dressed differently. The kimono was gone and replace by clothes that looked to be from her time. She was wearing a black shirt that had the shoulder cut out enough to see the moons on her shoulders and a cut out in the front and back showering the full and new moon tattoos. The sleeves went to bout the middle of her for-arm where they were cut into three pieces and flowed down to about the tip of the fingers. The shirt ended just before the symbols on her back and navel. She was wearing a low rise skirt, so the tattoos could be seen fully, and it was about the same length as her old school uniform, but this was black. Along the hem there was a gold and silver design that snaked around intertwining with each other. Instead of her white knee socks and shoes she was wearing black socks covered by tall black boots.
~~Inuyasha and Kikyo~~
"Inuyasha" Kikyo said
"Nani?"
"My soul is back."
"NANI??" Inuyasha said with a mix of emotion in his voice.
"I thought you would be happy, or o you miss Kagome, what ever happened to; 'we're gunna kill her and get your soul back'"
"I am happy, really, but..."
"Let me guess. You have to go well find I'll see you later Inuyasha, maybe." Kikyo said cutting him off and leaving.
'What the hell happened to Kagome?' Inuyasha thought as he ran toward where her sent was.
~~The Clearing~~
Kagome was awe-struck at her reflection, she failed to notice everything because she was to emotionally confused, but there was one who did. A certain silver haired youkia was walking in the forest. He suddenly felt a strange presence that wasn't ningen or youkai. He ran in that direction, worried in side but hiding behind an emotionless mask. (Inuyasha also knew something was wrong, he felt something, but he and Kikyo were a little busy at the moment.)
*~ Sesshoumaru's POV~*
As I was nearing the sight were the strange being was I was stopped in my tracks as a blue light engulfed me. All I could see was blue and just as fast as it had appeared it was gone, almost as if in a blink of an eye. The power of whatever this light was had thrown him back several feet when he was finally set free from the blinding ray. A few minutes later I was finally able to move again. I used both of my arms to push me up because most of my strength had still not returned. 'Wait a second both arms?!? When did this happen, it must have been . that light, I must find where it came from!' I kept going in the same direction I was going. 'This light, my arm, and this strange being are all intertwined, I know it.' Suddenly the loudest scream he had ever heard approached his ear, "NO!" was the word. I had to cover my sensitive ears at the incredible noise this creature was making, yet her voice it seems was soft and somehow faintly familiar.
When I reached the clearing where "it" was I masked my sent, so as not to be sensed. I silently watched at the most beautiful being I ever saw cried at the edge of the spring. Her pail skin contrasted greatly from her black hair and attire. I soon put her image aside and wondered "Why is she in my lands, Damn she is beautiful. WHERE DID THAT COME FROM??' Immediately after I thought that sentence the woman looked up and I saw her eyes of silver and outlined in gold, that quickly became red with anger. "Show yourself." Said the girl and stared in his direction of the woods.
*~ Normal POV~*
"I said SHOW YOURSELF!" Kagome said and lowly a figure came out of the shadows and Kagome' eyes returned to their new normal.
"So it seems you have found me even thought I was masking my sent." He said emotionlessly
"Sesshoumaru?"
'What the hell was he doing in Inuyasha's Forest; I am in Inuyasha's Forest, right?'
"How did you get your arm back?"
"You know me? Who are you?" He said
'I guess he doesn't recognize me, not surprising considering I don't recognize myself either'
"I asked you a question."
"I know you, what of it." Kagome stated plainly. Not realizing that there was no Inuyasha to protect her anymore. Sesshoumaru was shocked at her manner of speaking to him.
"You will show respect to the lord of these lands wench"
"I will pay respect to no one who does not deserve it." With that sentence Sesshoumaru use the speed her was known for and gabbed Kagome by the neck. Kagome was shocked she didn't know what to do and she knew she wasn't strong enough to get him off her.
'I wish he was on the other side of the spring' Kagome thought and when she reopened her eyes he was gone, he came back in another second but he was gone at first.
"What did you do wench?" but before waiting for an answer he asked another question, "What are you?"
"What do you mean what am I?" Kagome asked in a small voice.
"You heard me you're not youkai and you're not ningen so what are you."
'I'm not youkai or ningen?' "I don't know."
"How can you not know?"
"I just don't know, okay now can you leave me alone, it's not like I have tetsusaiga."
"What did you say?"
"You heard me"
"Who, what are you?"
"Are we on this again, look I'm leaving your lands okay just let me pass."
"No."
"Nani?"
"Iie."
"Why?"
"What are you?" "I DON'T KNOW!!! WILL YOU JUST LEAVE MY ALONE?" Kagome screamed as tears filled her eyes but she wouldn't let them fall. Again they changed to red and Kagome called for her bow and arrows at the edge of he clearing and they came. Her arrow glowed with a blue light as she aimed at Sesshoumaru. "Let me pass." Kagome stated showing no emotion except for the red color of her eyes.
"Be on you way I will see you again, stay out of my lands"
"Arigato,"
~* Kagome's POV*~
'That was fairly painless.'
I gathered my things and ran at a new speed back to the well and the others. 'I just need to day goodbye, and tell Inuyasha to tell my family that I won't be back, ever.'
~* Normal POV*~
Kagome was unaware of the Demon lord who was following close behind her, up in the sky. 'She was headed toward his brother. What is the connection between these two? Hadn't she mentioned tetsusaiga earlier?' He decided he would find out by following her and he did.
