Chapter 2: Trouble always lies ahead

"My baby sister, I have missed you so much. I waited so longer to be here with you. It killed me to watch you grow up and to be hurt by Inuyasha and I was helpless to be with you and help you."

"What are you talking about Crystal?"

"Well when ever you got into fights with Inuyasha or when ever something happened to you I wanted to be their but I couldn't until it was time for me to descend to the earth."

"Its okay Crystal I know that you have been there if you could don't worry. I have a question do I have wings too?"

"Yes you do but I will have to train you for you to be able to us them."

"Why train me?"

"Well because you have never used them and some if your instincts may kick in if you need help but it would be best if I train you fully, your miko powers will need to be trained more, your magic, spells and maybe I could help you with you swordsmanship and anything else that you need."

"Why couldn't you tell me all this stuff back when I was with my friends?"

"Because Kagome there are this that I must tell you that you should know first then you can tell your friends if you feel you need to."

"Okay then…"

"They are still things that you must know about, so here we go. We as goddess from birth we have a whole life destined for something…fate works in very mysterious ways things we do, are done for some weird and important reasons. Like when you came into the feudal era you were always destined to come here and search for the jewel…anyways when you and I were born we were destined to fight a great evil that would come into this world…"

"Naraku…"

"No not uncle Naraku…"

"Uncle?"

"Yes Naraku is our uncle but we will get into that story later on okay."

"So we need to fight this evil and also continue to look for the jewel shards."

"Anyways when we were also born we were destined to have a beloved…"

"Beloved?"

"It's like an arranged marriage, our husbands were destined to be youkais because they would help us with our journey."

"Who are these youkais that we are to be with?"

"Well you are to be with Inuyasha and I need to tell you that you need to get your soul back…I know that it will hurt Inuyasha if you kill her but if you wouldn't kill her I will…"

"But Crystal how can that be true if Inuyasha is still in love with Kikyo?"

"He doesn't love her, Inuyasha can't let go of the past but that's not important I need to have a chat with him anyways…"

"What about Naraku?"

"Okay uncle Naraku was the god of evil…he tried to kill the goddess of the heavens and all the goddess took away his godly powers and immortality…he was turned into a mortal and changed his name, then he found a way to turn into a demon and now he is after the Shikon No Tama to make a wish to turn him into the most powerful god and what is worst in that the God of chaos is helping him."

"This is too much for me to handle."

"I know Kagome but we will get through this but worry…we will take it one step at a time."

"Alright Crystal?"

"Yeah?"

"What about you? Who's your beloved?"

"He is the brother of your beloved."

"Brother of my beloved then that means that its….SESSHOMARU!"

"Yes keep it down, yes its Sesshomaru…I think that we better go now your friends will be worried about you."

Kagome agreed with Crystal and they headed to where her friends were. When they entered the clearing everyone was sitting around the fire. Her friends had set up camp for the night and were waiting for them to come back. They all were shocked at Kagome she didn't like that same any more.

"Kagome is that you?" (Sango)

"Yes, it's me…"

"What happened to you?" (Miroku)

"Nothing, my sister just lifted the spell that was placed on me."

"Your sister?" they all shouted

"My name is Crystal I am the Miko-goddess of the heavens…and Inuyasha I want to speak with you now please."

"Not is your life wen…"

"Sit…don't talk about my sister that way Inuyasha."

"Kagome that wasn't needed…I was going to punish him but I guess you beat me to it. Now Inuyasha about our talk."

"Feh…fine."

Crystal walked away with Inuyasha following behind her, she was thinking of a nice way to tell Inuyasha about the situation with Kagome. She didn't want Inuyasha to feel guilty about the information but she knew that it had to be done no matter what if Inuyasha wasn't going to deal with the problem she would make sure the problem was eliminated. Crystal stopped and she turned to face Inuyasha, he still wasn't sure what this women wanted but he had no choose but to listen to her.

"Now Inuyasha I am here to tell you a few things about my sister…I know that you may not believe me but its true…now Kagome only has half of a soul right?"

"Yes Kikyo has the other."

"I know that what I am going to tell you is going to be hard for you to understand but here we go. Since Kagome has only half a soul, if she were human she would have been died but since she is a goddess she been able to live…sigh…but not for long. You see Kikyo must be put to rest so Kagome can be whole again and then she will be able to live her life."

"I can't just kill Kikyo…"

"Inuyasha if you don't do this for Kagome than I will be it myself and if you try to stop me I will take you down…I want my sister to live she has a long life to live with her mate and I would let no one hurt her…I know what have you been doing you've been hurting her because of Kikyo and if you hurt my sister again while I'm around I'm going to hurt you."

"Are you threatening me?"

"Yes I am…I'm a goddess and I will not let you hurt my sister, I don't care who you are…you hurt her! you hurt me! and if you hurt me I will kill you no matter how much my sister loves you."

"Feh"

"I mean it Inuyasha…"

Crystal walked away from Inuyasha and walked back to the group everyone was quiet. Miroku was on the floor with a red mark on his face. Sango was fuming and Kagome was entertain Shippo Crystal walked over to Kagome and sat down beside her.

"Kagome are you okay?" (Crystal)

"Yes I'm fine way wouldn't I be?"

"Kagome you can't keep any secrets from me…I can read your mind and I know have you and feeling…"

"Nothing gets past you then?"

"No nothing at all…now are you going to tell me or do I have to read you mind."

"I'll tell you…I am just worried about what you told me that's all…Crystal? Can I read you mind too?"

"You can…me and you can communicated telepathy so when you are in trouble or worried you can always reach me in your mind."

"I think that it's best if we go to bed…" (Sango)

"That's a good idea Sango…."

"You guys go ahead I will leave now…." (Crystal)

"Were you going?" (Sango)

"I'm going to go do some flying and then I don't know."

"I will go with you…" (Kagome)

"Can I come to Mama?"

"No Shippo you stay here sweetie."

Shippo nodded and went into Kagome's sleeping bag he fell asleep instantly. Sango and Miroku found a comfortable spot to sleep, Inuyasha didn't come back from his talk with Crystal. Crystal and Kagome figured that Inuyasha was thinking over what Crystal had told him. Crystal and Kagome walked away from the campsite, Crystal was just think about everything that she had to do. Kagome on the other hand was thinking about how her life had extremely changed just in one night.

"Kagome?"

"Yea?"

"About the Shikon Jewel"

"What about it?"

"I know that you are collecting them and all but…"

"But what?"

"Well you see I was the one that was to protect the Jewel from our birth it was decided that I have it. When you turned 10 through our bond I sent you the jewel for safe keeping because of the whole problems with Uncle Naraku…I know that if you want to give me the jewel its fine with me…but I just want to give you a good warning keep it away from everyone even your friends."

"My friends wouldn't try to take it away from me."

"I know that Kagome but the God of Chaos can easy use people like Naraku can turn into people…I just want you to be safe that's all…I think that we should go see your mother in the future…and get a lot of your belongings…"

"Why?"

"Well I know that it will be hard for you to understand but the well will be closing soon since I can down to earth to start our quest. The goddess of time told me that she will only let the portal opened for a short period of time that it will be closed for good…but you must remember that you will see them again after a few decades."

"Are you joking with me?"

"No Kagome I'm not…Kagome I'm going to teach you how to fly…once your wings grow then you will no longer be able to hide them."

"That's fine with me."

"Okay close your eyes and think about my wings long beautiful white wings…you will feel a little pain but it will go away…"

Kagome was doing everything her sister was telling her, she could feel the pain but know that she had to endure it. After a few minutes the pain was gone but she felt some weight on her back. Kagome opened her eyes to see her sister looking at her with pride, Kagome knew from that look that she did it right.

"Kagome it is going to take a while for you to get use to them…right now you probably feel a little pressure on your back because of the wings but I will go away… now for flying all you have to do is stretch you wings and flap them…just think about it and you body will obey…with time you wont need to do anything… now I want to you know that whatever happens follow your instincts no matter what anyone tells you…at times you can alone trust your self and no one else."

"I'll remember that…so where do you want to go flying?"

"Anywhere…you lead the way Kagome…"

"Okay"

Kagome stretched her wings and she began to fly towards sky, Crystal and flying after her, the wind was blowing their the hair. Kagome was enjoy it she felt free and no one could get her up here. She was so deep into her feelings and thoughts that she didn't notice that Crystal was scanning the area for something.

"Something's wrong I can feel it, Kagome doesn't seem to notice…what could it be, it isn't Nori the God of Chaos. No it was something different Crystal couldn't tell what the warning feeling she was having."

That's when Crystal felt it a strong demonic power…something wasn't right with it, Crystal looked over to Kagome, she still was in her own little world and wasn't coming back anytime soon. Crystal flew with all her might towards the source, as she flew towards an opened area she saw a demon bear fight a two headed dragon. A little behind the dragon was a little child no older then 7/8 " what would a child be doing out in the woods alone?"

Crystal had no time to continue to think as the bear youkai threw the dragon away from the child he was about to go ran to her but was stopped when Crystal struck her sword into him. The bear turned to her and came after her, she formed energy balls in her hands and she threw them at the bear slowing purifying him. He was going to charge again but she put a barrier around him so that he wouldn't be able to come after another. Seconds later nothing was left of the bear but memories that are best forgotten. Crystal walked to the child to see if she was hurt in any way.

"Are you hurt sweetie?"

"No you saved me thank you."

"What are you doing here by yourself?"

"I got lost now I can't find my way back."

"Don't worry little one I will help you…I'm Crystal what's your name?"

"Rin…the dragon is named Ah and Un…" Rin looked up at her saviour and saw the wings her eyes lit up with joy.

"Are you are angel?"

"No little one I am a Miko Goddess, that why I have the wings."

"Really?"

"Really?"

"Your pretty…when I have I new mommy I want her to be just as pretty as you."

"Thank you…when I have a daughter I would love for her to be just like you."

"Crystal?" (Kagome)

"Kagome so good of you to join us…"

"What happened?"

"A bear youkai attacked Rin, I saved her."

"Do you know that Rin is the ward of Sesshomaru?" (Kagome)

"Really I didn't know that."

"Crystal who's that?" (Rin)

"That Rin is my Twin Sister Kagome."

"I remember you, you travel with Lord Sesshomaru's brother."

"That's right. Now that you are safe I think that its time to take our leave Crystal."

"But Lady Crystal can't leave, Lady said she would help me, she was going to take me home."

"You can't do that Sesshomaru would kill you." (Kagome)

"I don't think he will don't worry little one I will be safe…I want you to go back to camp and sleep in the morning go home then continue the journey. When Rin is safe and sound I will find you."

"Oh no you don't I am not leaving you alone…"

"Kagome don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

"I just don't want to see you leave me now that I found you."

"Don't worry I will still be here in the feudal era, if you need me all you have to do is call me."

"Alright I'll go but be safe…I will."

"I'll go then and leave you to your journey, but safe Crystal, Rin." (Kagome)

"Kagome would you like for me to bring you back to camp?"

"I don't want to be a bother it you…"

"It's no trouble to me…would you like to come too Rin?"

"I'd love too…"

"Rin where's Ah and Un?"

"I don't know they probably left."

"Lets go then?" (Crystal)

"Lets." (Kagome)
