Chapter Two

The Explanation

"What! Your thee President of the Seven Kingdoms!" Kagome's eyes had widened to the point were they looked comical, and her mouth a unhinged so she looked like a fish. Relizeing this Kagome aprumtly snap her mouth shut and her eyes narrowed. Miss Taijiya tilted her chin up as if preparing to battle, for she knew she was going to have a headache by the time she was done with this discussion. "Yes that is me. I'm Lily Taijiya, however I never got your name Miss...?" she trailed off one slim ebony eyebrow arched.

Kagome closed her eye briefly and opened them again. She didn't know if she should tell a women in such power anything at all. However with the amount of guards at her disposal Kagome didn't have the laugury to say 'None of your business.' Instead she said, "My name is Kagome, and I want to know what I'm doing here. The last thing I remember is being hit in the head while I was trying to save you."

Lily looked at Kagome and her piercing eyes seemed to see right through her giving Kagome the chills. "Nice to meet you Kagome. I apologize for I have come to relies I never thanked you for saving me. So I do so now, thank Lady Kagome." Lady? Kagome's eyebrows shot up in surprise. She was high born, and didn't deserve the title of Lady. With a shrug Kagome just decided to let the President think what she wanted, besides it wasn't her place to correct the Madam President, and the less Miss Taijiya knew about her the better.

"Miss Taijiya, I apologize as well for acting the shrew earlier, however you do understand I wish to know why I am here, and being kept here. I assumed at first it was because of my head wou-" she cut off when Lily raised her hand. "Kagome all will be explained soon enough. First I want to know which powers you have." all Kagome could do was blink. She changed the topics so aprumtly Kagome carefully spoke.

"Well I have the power to manipulate water, and the other power I have is of no use to anybody so I don't wish to bore you by telling you what it is." Really Kagome's other gift was quite helpful allowing one person to share their gift with another. But it was her mothers gift passed down to her and since her mothers death she had vowed not to use it until the time was right. And now was not the time. So if the President wanted her to show her, her gifts...well she thought it better to leave her other gift unmentioned since she had no intention of breaking her vow.

Lily's mouth remained in a stern line, however her eyes seemed to dance with a sudden joy. Kagome couldn't fanthom why since she had just ignored a direct order from the Lady President herself. Lily stood up her elegant kimono kimono falling in tasteful folds. "I have to explain something to you, and I believe what I have to say will answer any question you might have. Although I believe as curious as you are it will also arise more." she chuckled lightly to herself as she walked out of the bedroom and motioned for Kagome to follow.

Kagome looked down at her small night rail and the sheet draped around herself. She wasn't about to walk around in this getup. Lily paused and frowned when she noticed Kagome wasn't following her. "What are you waiting for Kagome, follow me so I may explain." Kagome shifted uncomfortably and blush lightly, avoiding her eyes. She clutched the sheet tighter to her person and Lily smiled knowingly. She murmured to the guard who was stationed outside Kagome's door, and with arms folded and a small smile on her face waited.

It only took a few minutes for a breathless maid to come in and bow, handing a wrapped bundle to the President in the process. " Here Kagome, put this on. If it doesn't fit let me know. I will be just outside the door. Come out when you finished getting dressed." Lily left just as quietly as she had entered and Kagome was left staring at the door and then the bundle of clothes the President had left on the bed. Swiping them up Kagome unwrapped it, her eyebrows furrowed. She wanted answers and she wanted them now. The President! She was still getting over the shock. She pulled out the lovely crimson red kimono and stared at it in awe.

It was beautiful yet simple. It had long bell-shaped sleeves and fell to her feet. It had no design on it what-so-ever, but the cut of the kimono was what made it look beautiful. Kagome undressed quickly and pulled the kimono on over her head, flipping her hair out of the collar. She was in a rush, no matter how pretty the kimono was she wanted answers to much to just sit there and waste time gawking at it. She found a long crimson red ribbon sitting in the brown wrap as well and tied her long ebony tresses at the nape of her neck, letting them spilled down her back but out of her face.

She rushed to the door and opened it quickly seeing the President conversing with somebody. She cleared her throat gently. The President glanced at her and whispered a few more things to the women next to her, and turned around while the women rushed off in the opposite direction. Kagome was to anxious to care and fell into step beside the President as they walked.

"Now Kagome I'll now begin with telling you of this worlds history, although many would call what I'm about to say a folk tale. However I must ask you not to interrupt me while I tell you." Kagome raised one of her own ebony eyebrows and only nodded for in the pit of her stomach she knew things would only spiral downward from here.

Lily however unaware of how Kagome felt, continued. "Long ago on the battle ground , that is now known as Twist of Faith, a bloody battle had occurred. Now you see in order to understand why this battle occurred we're going to have to go back even farther in time." Lily took a deep breath and released it in a rush. This was going to be a long tale and she could already tell Kagome wanted to but in. So she held one finger and continued. "A man who was gifted had the power of youth.

This power was never heard of and at first many were afraid of him. For you see he wouldn't die until somebody killed him and nobody found reason to despise him. In fact he had a welt of charm. Yet nobody knew the real man behind the smooth voice and innocent act. The man had turned bitter when his love had betrayed him fro another man. The women wasn't gifted as the man was. And the man overcome with anger and hatred attacked the village that she lived in. He slaughtered countless humans, and gifted alike. However the humans didn't see it that way, and their hatred was turned to all gifted alike; good and evil.

Now the number of gifted back then were few, and even though they had super human powers the sheer number of humans they had to fight was over welming. So the gifted's strength was met with mind boggling numbers. They warred upon each other until they forgot what they were fighting for. All the while the man who was responsible for it all remained free and unharmed. The wars continued until the ground was soaked with blood and the sky wept day after day with no stop in sight. After fifty years of famine, bloodshed, and death four people had, had enough. They were the strongest of the gifted.

They met in the midst of the fiercest battle that had yet to ravish the land. They clasped hands and one by one began to chant. The first was a young maiden who had the ability to control water. Her words were as I speak then now. "The water is filled with mystery and life. It flows with power and might. I am water, and water is me. I demand it to split and reform not here but in another time and place were nobody can see. As I will so mote it be." her arms raised to the sky the maiden started a whole new era, a whole new time continuum." Lily closed her eyes. She didn't know if Kagome would bulk at learning the truth or not. But she had to continue or Kagome would stay ignorent forever. She opened her mouth a began once more.

((Sorry to end it here. I planned on explaining the rest, but I don't feel like typing no more lol. Sorry about that, please RR! Bye for now!
