Tale of the last Dragon Master
Chapter Three: Meet the new Kagome!
Sango's POV
'Well this has been an exciting day. First Kagome tries to go
home, comes back with Tsukasa, who she'd never even met. Then
he wakes up, talks in our heads, and has a dragon that brings
another dragon who belongs to someone who's been sealed to a
tree by that clay pot bitch Kikyou, on Naraku's orders.' It's been two days since Tsukasa's arrival into Sengoku Jidai, and he's been sleeping more than anything else. They'd all been taking turns watching him in case something came up.
=Sango...what are...you doing here? Where are the others?= Tsukasa's mind voice was still tired and weak.
"How are you feeling, Tsukasa? Any better?" I said, concerned.
=A little better, Sango, thank you. I am feeling a little
hungry though.= Tsukasa says nervously.
"I'll go tell Kagome that you're awake and hungry."
=Thank you, Sango.= He says with relief.
==Kagome's POV==
"Tsukasa, are you feeling better? I brought you some food."
=Thanks, Kagome.= He said.
–Subaru, Vahn! Come get some food! – He called.
"Tsukasa, why do you understand our language when we can't
understand yours?"
=It is a gift all Dragonken have. The ability to understand
any language is something we're born with.=
"Oh...um, Tsukasa? What did you call me the day we first met?"
'I really want to know why Vahn and Tsukasa say they can't
read my mind when they can read everyone else's.'
=I called you a Tenshi Youkai, Kagome. They are a race of
beings that are immune to the mind-reading abilities of the
Dragonken.=
"Okay...so Tsukasa, what do you think of helping us fight Naraku
after Cairi's been saved? Will you do that?"
=I don't see why I shouldn't since he is so evil.=
"Thanks, Tsukasa. I really appreciate that."
'He's so kind and gentle, unlike InuYasha.'
"Hey, what are you doing?! You shouldn't be moving around,
Tsukasa!" Tsukasa finally manages to stand up despite Kagome's
attempts to restrain him. That's when she sees Tsukasa's ear.
"You have pointed ears?"
=Yes. As I told Sango, my race is closely related to dragons.
It is a natural attribute, Kagome.=
"Okay. I understand. Lets go talk to the others outside."
=All right= He steps out of the hut into the sunshine, where the others are talking.
==InuYasha's POV==
"I don't think we should trust him just yet."
'I don't like the way he lazes about and expects us to take
care of him.'
"I don't see why we shouldn't InuYasha. He's been very polite
and cooperative." Sango states.
"I agree, except for the matter of this escape he won't tell
us about." Miroku says calmly.
"Exactly! We don't even know where he's from!" Just as Sango opened her mouth to retort, I caught Tsukasa's scent coming closer to us.
"Tsukasa! What are you doing up?! You are not supposed to move
yet." Sango exclaims standing.
=Thank you for your concern Sango but I'm feeling much better.=
'Arrogant little bastard.'
=I will help you destroy the one called Naraku. Tsukasa sits
down.=
"Would you mind telling us why, Tsukasa?" Kagome asks gently.
"And you should tell us why you're here while you're at it!" InuYasha is having problems with his temper. Tsukasa looks at them sadly for amount then sighs.
=I suppose you do have a right to know. I am going to help you
fight Naraku because of what he has done to Cairi. Cairi is
very important to me. After all, we are the last of our kind.=
"WHAT?!" We all yelled simultaneously.
==Miroku's POV==
'So that's why he's so sad.'
=The disaster from which Cairi and I escaped destroyed the
entire Dragonken domain. Cairi used her power as Dragon Master
to open the gateway to this world. In order to pass through it,
I had to use most of my energy. That is why I was asleep when
Kagome found me. The ones who destroyed my home were Youkai,
and in their possession were these.= Tsukasa reached inside his robe and drew out five shards of the Shikon no tama.
"Why couldn't I sense those before?" Kagome asked, puzzled.
'I want to know as well.'
=I hid their presence to protect myself until I was strong
again, using some magic I know, before I crossed into your
land.=
'He is very powerful if he could hide the presence of
Shikon shards from Kagome.'
"If you could hide the shards, why didn't you shield yourself
from others as well?" Sango asks curiously.
=I was out of energy at the time. I used what little power I
could spare to shield these 'Shikon shards'. I had no power
left with which to shield myself=
'He sounds depressed. I wonder what's bothering him?'
"Keh. You expect us to believe you? I want some proof!"
'Stop being rude InuYasha!'
"I would like a demonstration as well, Tsukasa. We need to
know what you can do." Tsukasa looks at each member of the group carefully. His eyes eventually rest on Kagome.
=Fine, I will show you some of my power= He stands up and walks toward the well.
=Please follow me. I don't want to frighten the villagers.=
We all follow Tsukasa. He stops in the clearing of the well.
=Make yourselves comfortable. This will take a while.= We all sit down in the grass.
–#Earth tremor#- The ground began shaking and splitting.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kagome, Shippou, Sango, and I all start screaming.
"What in all the hells?!" InuYasha exclaims.
–#End spell#- The ground repairs itself.
=Useful, yes, safe, no.=
"Whoa. How'd you do that?" Kagome asks, in awe of Tsukasa's power.
=I called upon the earth and it did what I asked=
'Whoa.'
"Could you make someone become what they really are?"
=So long as they are concealing it behind another form, yes.=
Kagome starts to ask another question but begins to pulse
(Like InuYasha when he was released from the tree).
"Kagome!!" Everyone shouts.
==Kagome's POV==
The pulsing slows as I change into my true form. It doesn't hurt, it actually feels nice.
"What are you guys staring at?" They all have these shocked looks on their faces.
"You have to see yourself Kagome!" Sango shouts, excited.
=I agree with Sango on this one. You've really changed.=
"All right, I'll go get a mirror." I start to leave.
=No need.= Tsukasa waves his hand and a mirror, a full-length mirror appears.
"Whoa. Warn me next time you're going to do that, okay
Tsukasa?"
=Sorry.= He says sheepishly. Then I turn to my reflection and gasp.
'Is that...me?' My hair is now white and reaches my thighs. My eyes have turned sapphire blue. There white marks on my cheeks and silver lining on my eyes. My ears are now pointed. But most wondrous of all are my wings, my beautiful, crystal clear, shining wings.
