Kagome had just climmbed out of the well, and was walking toward her house. She nocked on the door, and it swung open to revel Souta. "KAGOME!" He yelled, wrapping his arms around Kagome. She smiled and looked down at him, ruffiling his hair, she was holding her tears in but she would soon let them go, but no, not in front of her beloved little brother, it wouldn't be right. She couldn't let her little brother know that his iddle had broken her heart. That she had run awau from him, that she had told him to never speak to her again, that she told him she hated him. She walked in listening to her little brothers day, oh how she missed hearing his sweet little voice, if only she could stay here with him, forever. She bent down and hugged him, he stopped mid-way talking giving her a funny look. "Kagome?" "Souta, I need to speak to mama, after that I promise I will listen to your tales, okay?" He nodded, worried for his sisters well being. "She's in the mini shrine near the shed praying, I can go get her if you need me to." "That's okay Souta."
Kagome walked out of the door, and to the mini shrine with her head bent, her whole heart just seemed to shatter right before her, she opened the shrine door to find her mother praying, with the incense fuming around her. "Mighty Kami's above, I pray for the protection of my family, I pray for our safety through the trials that you set for us,
I pray for deliverence, give us the-" Kagome tapped her mother on the shoulder. Her mother spun around in momentary shock. "Oh, Kagome! I didn't here you come in- what's wrong?" "Nothing Mama." "Kagome Lynn Higurashi, don't you dare lie to me, I'm your mother and have been so since you were first even thought of, I know when you lieing and when your sad." "Oh, mama, it's Inuyasha, he broke my heart! All I do is give and give, and he brakes my heart, he takes it and laughs, and he rips it up!" Kagome was now on her knees, weeping, showing her pain to the only person that she new that would understand. "Kagome, I think I know a little something that may help." Mrs.Higurashi stood and took her daughter by the hand and they walked out of the shrine to the storage shack. Kun-loon. (Kagome's mother, that's her name in the anime.) turned around.
"Wait here, I'll be right back." Kagome nodded and waited, when Kun-loon came back she was carrying a small box. "Kagome, there is something that no one has ever told you, your father, was a vampire." Kagome started to laugh, "Mamma, there is no such thing as vampires!" "Kagome, after all you've seen, after all you've done, can you really say that?" Kagome was no longer laughing, now she was staring, was her mother really serious? "Does this mean I am a vampire too?" "No, the vampire gene cannot be inherited, not if one the parents was a mortal." "So I'm human?" "Yes, but honey, your father said in his will that you too were to be turned, but only at your own choice, so will you do it honey?" Kagome thought, this was too much to handle! Now, the pro to becoming a vampire would be that 1) She would be immortal, 2) she would be stronger,3) she would be able to protect her friends and not worry about dieing in the process, because she would be already dead, wait, if her father was a vampire, if he was already dead, then how did he die..."Mom, how did dad die?" "Well honey, your father was killled by a slayer, now, a slayer only kills evil vampires, your father was not evil but the slayer mistook him for another vampire..." Kagome started to silently cry, her father, her loving carring father, had been murdered because someone thought he was a evil beast? He died for no reason, he died because of a mistake... "I will become a vampire, a full felged vampire, at whatever the cost." "Kagome, if you do this, there is no turning back, you will be a vampire, and you will stay that way. That means no more going out in sunlight, it mean you'll have to give up a lot of things." "I know but if dad said I should become one, he must have known I could handle it." Kagome's mother nodded. "I'll call an old friend of your fathers, he'll turn you, and if things go well we'll get you turned by the full moon." "Why the full moon?" "Because the god of vampires, is also the god of the moon, Tsuki Yuki." (That really is the moon god of the shinto religion.)
Kagome nodded. She stood and walked to her room, and layed down on her bed, there was a faint nocking on her door. "Come in." She said softly, Souta walked in, and sat on her bed. "Souta I know I promised I would listen to you storys but-" "It's okay Kagome, I over heard everything. Would it be okay if I became a vampire too?" "No, you don't want to be frozen forever as a ten year old, and besides you have so much to live for." "Yeah but if you become one who will I talk to? Who will I tease? Who will be there for me..." Souta began to cry, he flung himself at his stunned older sister. "Please Kagome, don't leave me!" "Souta I will never leave you, how about this, when you turn fourteen I'll see if mom will let you be turned." He sniffled and hugged his sister closer. She smiled, and then thought of something. "Souta, since you patron god is Tsuki Yuki, would you happen to know when the next full moon is?" "Yeah, its tommorow, isn't that when your supposed to be turned?" "Yeah, Souta, if you don't mind I need to get some sleep." "Sure sis, I love you." "I love you too little bro." He walked out and switched the light off. Kagome fell into a dreamless sleep.
Kagome awoke the next day at noon. She stood and stretched, and walked to the her closet and got her clothes out. She took out her school uniform and looked at it, and decided to work with it. She picked out a white tank top, with a white knited sweater, and used the same green skirt, and picked out a pair of black high heel strap sandals, she picked out a black thin chocker with a small diamond heart on it. She walked to the bathroom and took a shower. when she got out, she decided to do something different with her hair, she made it into little curly wavy stands, giving her a mature and sexy look. When she put the outfit on, she looked stunning. She walked down the stairs, with the outfit on, when her family looked up from breakfast, their jaws dropped. "Kagome...?" Asked her mother looking stunned. "Yes, mamma I'll be right back, there's something that I need to do, I promise I'll be right back." She walked out the door before her family could say anything, she was outside and started to walk near the well. She jumped in, and felt the brillant blue light surround her.
She climbed out of the well, with surpising ease with her heals, she started to walk toward the village. When she got there villagers were stopping in their tracks to oogle her. She smilled and went to Keade's hut, a young man was walking by her, a few good yards ahead of her, and she beckoned to him. "Yes ma'am?" The young lad inquired."Could you do me a favor? I need you to go to lady Keade's hut and see if hanyou with a red kimono is there." The young man nodded and ran ahead, he gazed into the hut and then ran back to her. "Yes milday, there is a hanyou there. Is there anything else you need?" "No but as thanks for a deed, no matter how small, I want you to have this." Kagome took out a pendant that she had been carying. "Now I as a priestess have personaly blessed this pendant, it will give you good fortune and will never let a demon harm you and only you can take it off." "THANK YOU!" He said and hugged her. Kagome smiled, the reason she had done this was she had seen this boy before, he was a nice young man from the village and his mother took care of him, accroding to Keade he was deathly afraind of demons (Except Shippo, Kirra, and Inuyasha.) since his father was killed by one. The other village children teased him alot and he was a very lonely child, so Kagome wanted to brighten his day up.
Kagome smiled and patted him on the head and he ran off to tell his mother of the good fortune. Kagome went up to Keade's hut and knocked on the side of the hut. "Come in." Said Keade in her old horse voice. Kagome pulled back the blinds that served as a door and there were gasps of surprise. "Hello all. Miss me?" They had not expected to see Kagome for a while, after what Inuyasha did. "Kagome, what happened to you?" Asked Miroku. "Oh nothing, yet." She added the last part in whisper.
Kagome and the others talked for a little bit, Inuyasha mostly staring at Kagome in lust. Finally Kagome stood and dusted off her skirt, "Well I must be going. See you later." Kagome walked back to the well, after sitting the heck out of a certain hanyou in a red kimono who will remain nameless.
Kagome walked to the well and was just about to jump in when she heard someone call her name. She turned to see the last person she expected to see running towards her. "Ayame?" "Kagome I know I haven't been the nicest person in the world to you, I have decided that if Kouga wants you he can have you. I can't waste my life chasing someone I don't love." "Ayame I don't like Kouga, infact I am starting to get annoyed by his antics." "Really?" "Yeah, so are you going back to your granfathers?" At this Ayame started to tear up. "My grandpa died in a battle a few days ago, I was actually planning on jumping off a cliff after I settled all of my affairs on earth." "WHAT! I will not let you die, you have to much to live for." "LIKE WHAT! The only man I have ever loved is in love with another woman, my grandfather is dead and I have no where else to go." "Well why don't you come with me." "No realy thats okay." "No,your coming, I don't want you dead." Kagome led Ayame to the well. "I thought you said not to die, but why are you leading me to a dry well?" "Because I am from the future and this is how I get home." "Oh." Was all Ayame could say, this was something slightly difficult to wrap her mind around.
Kagome and Ayame then jumped in, the light blinded Ayame for a minute, and when they reached the other side Kagome climbed out as Ayame jumped out. Kagome looked throught the doors to see the sun setting. "Dang, sunset already." "Whats wrong with sunset?" "Nothing. It's just tonight I am going to follow in my fathers foot steps." "What are you going to do." "Die." "WHAT! You tell me not to die but yet your abou-" "Ayame relax, when I die its not gonna stay, I am going to become a vampire." "A what?" "I guess vampires really did come from Europe. Okay a vampire is a human turned demon, but the human has to die and become the living dead. The good thing is I'll be immortal, and look like this always instead of aging, I'll be able to change shapes, and I'll have new powers, the bad part is I cant go in the sun, near holy water, crosses or anything that is a symbol of strong faith, I'll need to survive on blood, and I cant be near onions, or anything that taste or smells like garlic."
( I read in a book that the reason for that is garlic has a enzyme that litteraly goes out in its smell that burns vampirc lungs so badly it collapses them, not true for many reasons mainly because there is no such thing as a true vampire, and two because enzyme cant go into scent, but in my world it can!)
Kagome watched as Ayame let this all sink in."So your going to die, and become a demon, and still be you know, walking around?" "Yep." "And this didn't give you a headache when you learned it?" "No." "Lucky."
(Later that night.)
"Kagome this is it, are you sure you want to do this?" "Yes, I do." "Okay, the vampires should be here soon." "Okay, hey what should I wear to be turned?" "Actually that reminds me, I have something for you." Kun-loon motioned for Kagome to follow her up the stairs. Kagome followed her up into Kun-loons room, they walked over to her closet and opened it. Kun-loon smiled a very sad smile and pulled out a box and walked over to her bed and layed it out and beckoned for Kagome to come over and open it. She bent over it and noticed that is was very old, very very old, with delicately carved kanji all over it, she reached out to touch it and it sent a shock wave back to her, the kanji glowed faintly white."It recognizes you." "What does?" "The higurashi family spell, it is passed down to every Higurashi femal who wishes to become a vampire, the spell will let you now pass, and see whats inside the box." Kagome flipped the hinge, and opened the box and looked inside.
What was inside was a stunning black dress, made of silk of the dog demon fur, it was lined with dep red silk made from very rare red panther demon fur,(Its linned around the end of the sleeves, like where her wrists can be seen, where it ends at floor length, and around the neck.)
Kagome looked back in the box to find a black choker with a dark ruby on it that seemed to glow with a ferocious flame from within that alone cast a small light. "Whats the chocker for?" "You'll need to ware it after you've been bitten, it is a Higurashi clan pendant that is said to heal a newly bitten vampires neck wound." "Oh."
"Oh, and Kagome?" "Yeah?" "What kind of coffin would you like? I was thinking a nice oak one, with some wite satin inside..." Kagome almost face planted right then, "You mean I really have to sleep in a coffin?" "Yes." 'h my Kami, I might just be going loony...' was all that ran through Kagome's head. She quikly shook her head, as if that would clear her thoughts. "So they'll be here soon?" "Yes, and honey I forgot to mention something, since you have holy power you'll have to bitten by more than one vampire..." "Will I still retain my priestess power?" "No, unless you become a vampire priestess, but you wont have your powers of purification any more, those alone would purify you to death, and if you did keep them they would cause you constant agony.You'll have to learn vampire magic." Kagome nodded and walked down out of the room and down the stairs, she got to the bottom to see her family and newest friend waiting for her.
They could all only gasp, in both shock and awe, their Kagome seemed so grown up, so gorgeous. Kagome smiled and walked over to Ayame, and said to her softly so no one else could hear them. "We need to talk, please meet me at the god tree." Ayame nodded and sat off in another direction, Kagome going the opposite way to fool her family. They both met each other in front of the god tree. "So what did you want to tell me?" Asked Ayame, "I wanted to let you know that we will be going to a school called Hogwarts, apparently my dad went there when he was younger, along with some famous wizard, Harry Potter I think he was called." "Oh." "Well anyway they wanted me to go in his place to this magic school because of some spell that binds a the person or a famly member of that person to go." "Okay, so why are you telling me this?" "Because, I don't want to go alone, I want to have someone there for me, I'll understand if you don't want to..." "No I do, I was just curious." Kagome was so releaved that she hugged a now very stunned Ayame, who in her whole life time had never once been hugged unless it was to confort her, now it was because she conforted someone else. It gave Ayame a nice feeling to know she helped someone, espically someone so nice like Kagome who just seemed to except everybody, no matter the case." (A/N- I just wanted to let you all know, the reason I made Kagome younger that Harry was because I wanted to add another twist to it, you'll see eventually.)
Kagome and Ayame broke from their hug when Kagome's mother called her to the door. "Kagome...its time." Kagome nodded and her mother grabbed her hand and lead her gently to the back of the shrine which had not been used for years. Kagome felt nervous, did she really want to go through with this, suddenely she had a flash back as to why she was doing this.
Flash back.
Kagome had just gotten out of the well and was heading toward the village when she suddenely felt a weird pull at her soul. "Kikyou..." She new what was happening, but for some reason she had to see it for her self, to see for her own eyes that her love had betrayed her. She walked soundlessly into the forest, dropping her back-pack in an almost zomibfied state. When she reached the clearing she saw Inuyasha leaning in to kiss Kikyou. Kagome herself was stunned, but then again she realized that maybe she should have realized what the extent of dating a two timing jerk like Inuyasha, oh, she knew that this was the last straw. She ran away, back to Keade's hut, and she stood outside the hut and listend in. She heard Miroku's and Sago's conversation, they were talking about something, something that involved marrige. Kagome did not want to interupt their happiness just because hers had been had just been snatched away. Kagome turned and ran away, and plunged into the well, unaware that three pairs of eyes watched her, one was a ice blue that belonged to the leader of the wolf pack who always longed for Kagome. The secound pair were a molten gold belonging to a certain lord of the west, and the third and final pair were a stunning green, belonging to...
End Flash back.
Kagome and her family and friend arrived around to see a huge gathering of the undead vampires. All of whom seemed to be waiting for Kagome. They all looked at Kagome, there pale milky white skin litteraly glowed in the moon light, there eyes seemed to give off a iradescent glow that could have rivaled a fire. They all were of varrying ages, from little children, to pre-teens and teenagers, to people of middle age, to some who looked as old as a hundred but they all had one thing incomen, they were so powerful that it almost over-whelmed Kagome. Down the parted section of vampires was a little alter, and standing next to it were three vampires, a woman, and two men. The women had long black hair pulled into a braid, with teal blue eyes that shinned in the excitment of addding a new member to her vampire ranks, and the thought of fresh blood. The two men were much the same, more or less. Kagome walked down the little isle to the alter and stood before it. "Kagome Lynn Higurashi, you have chosen of your own free will to become a vampire, correct?" "Yes." "And you so except it with your whole being?" "Yes, I do." "Kagome, think hard now, you will be unable to continue a normal life after this moment passes, are you sure this is absolutely what you want to happen?" "Yes, I want to become a vampire and follow in my fathers foot steps, but I have my own personal reasons that have come together and made me see that this is truly who I am ment to be." "Good, now please lie down on the alter." Kagome did as she was told, The three vampires were now moving to get on either side of her, the woman stood above were her head was. "Kagome Lynn Higurashi you will now become a vampire of your own choice." The woman bent down and bit Kagome's neck, the two other men bent down and took her wrist and then bit her veins, draining her of her life force and slowly turning her, her priestess powers were trying to protect her, swarming the vampires trying to purify them, but since this was what Kagome had wanted, it would not harm them. Slowly Kagome began to feel very weak, her vision began to spin, and before she lost sight of the world before her, the three stood, with blood covered mouths, and now golden eyes. "It is done." Spoke the man on Kagome's right. The vampires all glowed brighter, and then said in one voice with each other. "Welcome sister."
