Kagome stands slowly as she brushes off the dirt from her clothes. She takes a few deep breaths as she looks up to the familiar sight of vines and a clear blue sky. Everything is going to change today. She quickly climbs the vines to the top then sprints towards the village. It smells of death.
The village was covered in fire as smoke and screams filled the air. Nearly crying at the sight of this, she keeps running to find her friends. Sango was fighting off a hoard of demons beside Miroku as Inuyasha was facing off with Naraku. No sign of Shippo. "Kagome! You're late!" Sango grunts tossing something her way. Kagome catches it swiftly, latching it to her side.
"Yeah I realized that!" Kagome yells back pulling her sword from the sheath and running toward the demons. She left a path of corpses behind her in a matter of seconds, her blade glowing faintly with power. "How much did I miss?"
"Five casualties." Sango cuts down another demon. "Shippo is safe with Rin and Kaede." She slits the throat of one demon with her hidden blade on her forearm then turns stabbing one trying to attack from behind. "Brothers are fighting Naraku." Kagome could finally glance at Sango for a moment. Tears and bloodlust were very clear in her eyes. "Kohaku is part of the casualties." Sango says nothing after that as she dives into the oncoming hoard. Kagome nods silently after her friend as she fights her way towards Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. Her mind on one objective: Killing Naraku.
"Do you really expect to succeed? A mere miko? A half-breed?" Naraku teases. "Sesshomaru may have a chance, but you two? Pathetic." Kagome creates a barrier around the four of them in an attempt to protect the village around them. She had noticed that they had gotten the villagers out before anything could get too serious. Don't hold back. Not now, not ever. Kagome glances at her allies briefly, catching their slight nods.
She makes her move to attack. No warning, no hesitation. Too many have suffered, too much has been lost. I will be the one to start and finish this. Her sword catches his arm, taking it off cleanly. As she moves past him, she strikes her blade behind her, cutting deep into his back. As she lands, she hears his screams of agony.
"A human! A miko with no real power! Do you really think you can be the hero?!" Naraku hisses in pain, his wounds unable to heal from purification. "You will never rid of me, not my power, not my evil. You will never be strong enough!" Naraku screams. He was getting distracted and it was just was she needed him to do. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru attack his back together, making his wound greater. Naraku yells more trying to fight back. Kagome keeps up with her attacks, slowly purifying his entire body. She could see the jewel shards in his body getting closer to the surface, aiding in his destruction. She calls for them, holding her part of the nearly completed jewel. The shards rip themselves out of Naraku's body to answer her. Kagome bites her lip, knowing what she needed to do. Keeping the barrier there, she runs through it and leaves Naraku's demise to the brothers.
"Lady Midoriko I call on you, for I have my wish!" Kagome yells as she stops at the well. The jewel, now complete, shines brightly as a figure appears. "Before you speak, I know that no wish is pure. The idea of a wish is for self gain in some way or another." Kagome's eyes keep a glare on the figure. "I will take the punishment for this wish."
"How noble of someone so young and naive," Midoriko chuckles in a teasing manner. Kagome stayed stern. "Tell me what you wish and I shall grant it."
"I wish for a world where no one was without power. Where there is always a hero nearby. Where everyone can dream."
"Alright. As you wish, Kagome Higurashi." The jewel's color turns darker by the second, becoming a oil like shade. "Your price-"
"Don't tell me, just go on with it." Kagome was terrified. This wasn't like her, but she had no choice.
"Fine. But listen when my voice calls."
Kagome's world went black after those words. A sharp pain in her chest told her that she was still alive. So it wasn't destroyed after all. She stayed in the darkness for what felt like years, just thinking to herself. About her journey, about her friends. Would she be able to remember them after she woke up or would she forget like they never existed? She didn't want to find out. Her world started to shake, softly at first, then growing from frantic as moments passed. "KAGOME!" Her eyes snap open to see who was yelling. "Come on, you have your entrance exam in fifteen minutes!" Souta was yelling as she jumped up.
"Entrance exam?" she asks him standing from her bed. "What are you-" Her memories come back to her like she was hit by a truck. U.A. the best school for aspiring heroes. "GET OUT I HAVE TO CHANGE!" Kagome kicks her brother out, slamming the door behind him and quickly gets dressed. I remember everything. Why do I remember?! Tears start forming in her eyes as she finds a charm bracelet with her old friends weapons. Putting it back in the drawer she found it in, she finishes and heads downstairs to greet her family.
Kagome hugs her mom tightly once she sees her. "Oh, good morning Kagome," she chuckles hugging her daughter back.
"Good morning!" Kagome lets go and quickly eat her meal before rushing out the door. "See you later!"
"Good luck, Kagome!" her family cheer in unison. She missed this. She could finally have a chance to be with her family again! With that going through her head, she runs faster. A faint glow comes from her chest as she pushes herself, making her run at an inhumane speed. I get to be normal! I finally get to be normal! Being so lost in thought, she run into someone, knocking both of them over from how fast she was going.
"Ah! I'm so so-"
"Get the fuck off of me, dumbass!" Bakugo. Of course it had to be Bakugo she ran into.
"Well hello to you, too, Bakugo." Kagome gets up calmly and dusts off her clothes. She says nothing else and walks off.
"Where the hell do you think you're going, bitch?!" Kagome held her tongue from saying 'sit'.
"To find Izuku. At least he'll be nice enough to say hello."
