Chapter 11 That which you once were
The Tanteis had exchanged to her school for the year, it seemed like years since she had entered the classroom, and she wondered if it had indeed been that long, but she knew that it was only a two days ago that she was here. So many things had happened, some things good and some things bad, her family was now gone leaving only her and Souta, there will be no more Jii-chan to tell boring stories about the history of things, no more telling weird sickness to school about her absence, no more mama to welcome her home from the adventures in the Sengoku Jidai, from now on she would have to take care of her brother and her.
But she now had new friends, and perhaps something more, Kurama, always caring and always there, Hiei, although he seems cold she knew he was a kind person at heart, Yuusuke was like an older brother she never had, not only does he make her laugh, they could argue like old friends together, Kuwabara, even if he was an idiot, he releases the tension in the group.
She sat in her desk and rested her head on the table, her friends were gathered around her talking around her, not that she paid them any heed, it is funny how much she had changed, she no longer engaged in their talks, gossips about the latest hot guy or which teacher was mean and such, before she would have gladly talked over simple matters such as those, it shows how much she had changed over time, how the Sengoku Jidai had made her grow.
"Ne, Kagome!" Said Yuka, napping the young miko out of her thoughts.
"What?" she asked.
"Anna was telling us about some interesting things she heard from her grandmother that moved over last week!"
"Yah" said Anna, "Did you know that there was a legend from where she came from, if a pair of lovers loved each other very much, and when they die, they would end up being brothers and sisters when they reincarnate?"
"Really? That must be so sad for the lovers, because they have to become siblings in their next life, doesn't that mean that they can't be together in the next life?" Yuka asked.
"Uhuh, yah, that's true, I feel sorry for them too. Why would they make them into brothers and sisters if they were in love with each other? They should make them meet again in the next life so that they can be together again!"
Emily shrugged, "It's not like there is such things as Reincarnations anyway, it's just a belief."
Kagome smiled sadly, but there is such things as Reincarnation, I should know, I am the reincarnation of a woman that is now brought back to life, and the reincarnation of a goddess that is ordained in a prophecy. Can I ever be any one but myself?
"Hey Kagome! Did you know that there are new students transferring to our school today? Isn't that weird though, changing schools in the middle of the year?"
Kagome looked at Yuka and shrugged, "I'm showing them around today, the principle talked to me this morning about it." And it's not like I didn't know before that, I wonder how people will react to Kurama?
"Class, settle down." Said Mr. Takashi as he came in, "As I'm sure you have heard, there are some new exchange students here with us today, please come in."
Kurama and Yuusuke stood in front of the class as the teacher introduced them to the class, "Class, these are your new classmates, Suichi and Yuusuke, I expect you to treat them with the respect you show to all the students in this school. Now, Kagome-san, I have been told that you will take them on a tour today? Good, you can start after class. Suichi-kun, Yuusuke-kun do you have any thing to say to the class before you return to your seats?"
"I'm glad to be here." Kurama said with a bow, and Kagome watched in amusement and a little bit of Jealousy as the girls started to swoon.
"Humph." People were watching Yuusuke warily, apparently, he was known here as well.
So the lesson started, Kagome listened to the teacher as he droned on and on about the history and lifestyle in the Sengoku Jidai, Well, at least I don't have to do much for this class, I already know most of these things, I practically live in the era any ways! Kagome startled as she felt someone tap her shoulder, looking to the side she found Anna giving her a piece of paper, shrugging, she opened it.
"Do you think that the Suichi-kun is cute?"
Kagome was amused to no ends, to say the least, Well then, it seems Kurama is popular wherever he goes. Though she was not surprised, she had to admit herself that Kurama was handsome. Laughing quietly to herself she wrote back:
"I am not saying anything about it."
She tossed it back and waited for an answer:
"Aw, come on! You get to show them around school! Be more cheerful about it, I mean, the guy is clearly cute, there's no denying it, too bad you have Hojo-kun ne?"
Kagome blinked, whoever said she and Hojo were a number?
"Me and Hojo is not a number! And yes, I am showing them around school, but that doesn't mean anything!" Does it? She wondered, she and Kurama are friends, and she likes him a lot, she had to admit, but does he like her? Kagome closed her eyes and took a deep breath; things are confusing enough as it is without her love life getting into the mix.
The lesson went on from there with Kagome and Anna exchanging messages, when the bell finally rang, signaling the beginning of break half of the female population in the classroom was at Kurama's desk, trying to gain his attention. Seeing his agitation, Kagome laughed, Kurama looked like he was trying his best to stay put when all his instincts told him to make a run for it. Taking pity on him, Kagome decided to come to his rescue.
"Suichi-kun, Yuusuke-kun, I believe you would like to take a tour around the school now, right?" smiling sweetly, she went over to Kurama's desk and grabbed his hand along with Yuusuke's and dragged him out of the room, much to the delight of Kurama and the dismay of the girls in her class.
"Thank you Kagome." Kurama said once they were outside.
She smiled at the Kitsune, "Don't worry about it, though I'd have to admit, you are pretty popular, and it's only your first day at school. I wonder what will happen after a week?"
Kurama shuddered and Yuusuke laughed saying, "Kagome, you should've seen him at our last school! He had a damned fan club of his own!"
Laughing, Kagome showed them the school, coming back in time for the next lesson, which, to her horror, was math.
~**~**~**~**~**~**~**
Kagome tried to concentrate as she looked at the numbers on her sheet, It's useless! I can't think properly!
Just when she was about to give up, she felt a pull at her soul, sitting up she concentrated, trying to feel the pull again. There! She had felt this before, felt it whenever she was near. Kikyou! Kagome jumped up and ran out of the classroom to the courtyard where she felt the pull as fast as she could, ignoring the shouts of the teacher.
"Kikyou." It wasn't a question, but a statement, Kagome knew she would meet the miko soon, but she didn't expect her to appear so soon, Time must be running out for the well to be working so quickly, already things are starting to fall in place, and the final battle will come soon. Then what? I wonder. Unknown to her, the wheels of fortune is turning much more quickly that she thought.
The woman standing alone in the courtyard could be Kagome's twin, but if one looked closely, they would've noted that her eyes were cold brown instead of the warm lilac-blue of the other girl. Kikyou's hair was longer as well, and straighter. But the main difference between them, for those who knew how to look, was the air of anger, hatred and cold indifference in Kikyou's aura compared to the warm, life loving and bright aura of Kagome.
"So, my reincarnation is here, now tell me, where is Inuyasha, it is time for him to fulfill his promise to me and follow me to hell." Said the undead miko.
As Kagome was about to reply a pained voice behind her sounded out, "Ki-kikyou……." She knew without turning around, who it was, Inuyasha. Kagome knew the pain her friend is going through and she wanted to help him, it is then that she knew what she had to do.
"Inuyasha…" The hanyou demon turned to Kagome, his eyes showing indecision, "Inuyasha," she called again, "I will give you one wish, that I will fulfill for you, tell me, and I will do what ever it takes in my power to help you."
Inuyasha's eyes widened, it was not Kagome he was speaking to anymore, but the power of Lady Luminescence, "I…I wish, that you can return Kikyou's soul, so that she will have a chance to live the life that was stolen from her 50 years ago. So that she is no longer a being bound by hate to this world, but a true living, breathing person."
Kagome smiled warmly, "As t'is wished, so t'will be." Her voice filled with power as she turned to Kikyou, "You were wronged by Naraku, but you wronged yourself when you let anger control you, Kikyou, I let you live again in peace, with the love of this world, if ever again should you wrong, this gift I grant you will be gone forever and you will once again become that which you now are. Now I return you to that which you once were."

A pair of golden eyes watched the scene unfold before him as the mikos glowed a bright lilac colour.
