Summery: "Love is an unconditional thing, right? They say Love can withstand the difference of worlds, but is that true? Can a Fish Love an Eagle, or can a Butterfly love a Cat? It's Futile to think the impossible...and it's hopeless to fall in love with someone who can not be real." ((IY/HP X-Over)) Sess/Kag
Impossible LoveBy Silver-Shadow-Fox
Another night I run through the dark, endless corridor, and find myself wanting something. My long silver gown barely touches the floor as I fly across the hall. I know I'm close, but where is it? What am I looking for? I push open yet another door as I run. A long stick is in my slender hand, but why? Why am I crying? I slip on my gown, and fall, scrapping my hand against the stone floor. I must get up, it could be too late. I quickly get up, and turn the corner, and then fall down a flight of stairs. I don't really care, which is odd, because normally I would be bawling my eyes right now. A little blood is now staining the left sleeve of my dress, and I get up, not caring how much it hurts, because someone else is hurting; Someone much more important. I see the large door that leads outside, and I push it open.
The cool night air greets my hot and sweaty face. I turn my head in all directions, looking for something. I have to find it, but what? I see a dark figure slumped against a tree that I recognize. I run over to it, the hem of my dress now dark, wet, and muddy from the rain. I fall next to the figure and see it breathing slightly, tears mixed with rain fall down my cheeks. I lay my head against the chest of the figure, and a hand gently strokes my wet, tangled hair. I feel weird, weirder then I ever have. I'm so happy, and filled with love. I raise my head and look down at the figures face. Slowly it's eyes open, and our lips meet...
BEEP... BEEP... BEEP...
Kagome Higurashi, 16 years old, Birthday is November 13, has a mother, grandfather, and a brother. Father, deceased. The date today is July 3rd, 2004. We first meet Kagome getting up from bed...
Kagome sat up in a cold sweat for the umpteenth time. For the past few months she'd been having odd dreams about someone. It was normally the same, though this night was different. This time she saw some of the person's face. She quickly got out of bed, still remembering the eye of the man. It was yellow...no, not yellow, gold. Who had gold eyes? Well, Inuyasha did, so did Sesshoumaru, but they were in the past, and she was in the present in her dreams. Kagome pulled a shirt over her tousled hair and brushed off some cat hair. Pulling some green and black-checkered pajama pants, she thought more of the dream. It was fading, like dreams always do after a few minutes. She hadn't been in any place she recognized. 'Maybe' she thought, combing her black locks, ' it was just a dream, nothing more.' But Kagome wasn't very convinced. The dreams that she had been having seemed so real, that she felt the emotion lingering strongly after them.
"Kagome, come down here please." Yelled Kagome's mother to her. She sounded worried, much like she did when Kagome first explained about the well. Kagome put her comb down, and opened her bedroom door. She then headed down the stairs. She saw her mom, head in hands, and a parcel next to her Kagome went over to her mother and jumped when a hoot came from across the room. A beautiful snowy owl was perched at their window.
"Mom, what's going on?" She said, sitting down next to her mother. Her mother handed her the paper. Kagome opened it and saw neat cursive writing. At the bottom was some emblem. It looked like a shield cut into fourths. Each fourth was a different color, and each had a different animal on it. She started reading...
Dear Miss Kagome Higurashi,
Good morning. My name is Albus Percival Wulfric Brain Dumbledore. You may call me Professor Dumbledore, or just Dumbledore if you would like too. I am the head master at Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry. I know you won't have a hard time believing that there are witches and wizards in this world. My school is not in good order, and needs more then just magic to protect it. That is where you came in. I would like you to protect my school. I know many things about you, including you trips to the past. I have no doubt that you would be strong enough. Please reply this letter with my snowy owl, and if you choose to accept, I will send you yet another letter including when and how you shall get here. I await you reply.
Professor A.P.W.B.D
Professor DumbledoreKagome stared at the letter in her hands. The fact about witches and wizards didn't worry her as much as the fact that someone other then the family knew about her travels to the past. The snowy owl hooted and flew over to the table, then made a little nip at Kagome fingers. It didn't hurt, just a little peck. Kagome stared at it, then walked over and grabbed her piece of toast from the counter. She then put it on the table in pieces. The owl ate it daintily and, when finished, sat down next to her mother.
Kagome thought about what she could do. She could forget about the letter, but then she would let a school down. She could reply no, but again, she would be letting the school down. Her only choice that would be to do the right thing and reply yes, and wait for the next letter. 'But I'm not that powerful' she thought. She told herself she would think about that later, and got up. She went upstairs and grabbed a nice piece of paper from her mother's bedroom. When she got downstairs she saw her mother rummaging through a drawer. When she stopped, she handed Kagome a pen. Kagome smiled at her mother and thanked her.
'How should I start?' Kagome thought. After thinking it over, she put her thoughts into words and wrote the letter in 5 minutes. After signing it, she realized the snowy owl was still in the same spot it had been when she went upstairs. She timidly pet the beautiful creature, and it gave a small hoot of approval.
"Hey mom, what should I do know?" Kagome asked, showing her the letter. Her mother rolled up the parchment and tied it to the foot of the owl. After another hoot, the owl left, leaving a feather behind. "Mom, I should probably tell Inuyasha I won't be going for a while, huh?" her mother nodded, and Kagome grabbed her yellow bag. After her usual bye, she headed toward the well house, and saw her grandpa sweeping the steps, like always.
"Bye gramps." She said, and waved to him as she jumped into the well. A blue light surrounded her vision, and ten she looked up. A blue sky greeted her, along with the sent of forest, not pollution. She climbed the well using vines that had grown on the side. When she reached the top, she saw something she didn't want to see.
Normally it wouldn't bother her, but after the letter, she became a bit paranoid, and, seeing Inuyasha and Kikyo kissing brought her off the edge. Now, she knew that Inuyasha had no room for her, and she knew that he was going to tell her sometime, but it still hurt. After all, she had loved him for the first 2 years of her journey. She snuck away, leaving the two to their business, and went to Kaede's village. A furry ball of red hit her, and she felt the softness of his fur.
"KAGOME!" The fur ball yelled in her ear. She winced and gave it a hug. Two figures came out of a house. It was Miroku, sporting a rather fresh hand mark on his left cheek, and Sango, looking smug about something.
"Hey guys... I have some bad news." So, Kagome started to tell the story of the letter, and her reply, and how she would be gone for a year or two. Shippo was sad, and was not crying in his foster mother's arms. Sango looked very sad, and had tears in her eyes, and Miroku looked disappointed.
"When must you leave?" Miroku asked. Kagome told him she didn't know, and that she would find out with the next letter.
"Why?" Kagome asked him, puzzled that he didn't looked sad, more worried, like a big brother.
"How will you protect this school?" He asked her. Kagome was startled. She hadn't thought about that. She wasn't a very trained priestess. The most she knew was purification, and archery.
"We should help." Sango's voice spoke out. Miroku nodded his head in agreement.
"Yes, she must know how to defect herself, maybe perfect her powers some more." He said. "Kaede could help with her priestess powers, and Inuyasha could teach her the sword. Sango, you could help her with her self-defense, we all know she could use it (slap) ouch, I am sorry, but you do Kagome. I could help with protective barriers, on yourself, on others, and other objects." Miroku stopped. Kagome was nodding her head ok, and when he stopped suddenly, she got worried. Until a voice broke the silence.
"What are you talking about?" Kagome turned her head hard and got dizzy. When the world stopped spinning she saw Inuyasha, looking angry. "What about barriers Kagome?"
"Inuyasha, I have to tell you something." Kagome said, and stood up. She then explained to him how she had to stay home because she had to protect something. Inuyasha blew up in her face and told her no.
"Hell no! A YEAR! Besides, your to weak to protect anything!" He yelled. Kagome was at the brink of tears. She grabbed her bow and arrows and backpack.
"Sit...thanks anyways guys. I would have loved the help, but I can't. I'll have to train at home. I'll be back in a year." With that said, Kagome grabbed her yellow backpack, yelled sit five more times so Inuyasha wouldn't have time to get up, and ran to the well, looking back once to wave bye. She jumped though the enchanted hole, then, when she reached the other side, pulled herself and her bag up. She grabbed her bow and arrow, then after saying an incantation, pulled back the bow and let the arrow fly into the well. It was to make sure no demons would get through, including Inuyasha.
"Bye..." she whispered, and headed out the door of the well house. There her gramps was, still sweeping relatively in the same spot. 'How long was I gone' she thought. She placed her pack next to the house, and walked in, only to see her mother sitting on the floor looking into a brown, wooden, box; it looked like she was crying. A few pictures were scattered around the floor around her. "Mom?" Kagome asked, and ran to her mother's side. Kagome's mom quickly whipped her tears off her face and stood up.
"Honey, how was it? Your back earlier then I thought. Did it go ok?" she dusted the front of her blouse, and looked up, trying to recompose herself. It was too late, she was exposed. Kagome went to her and hugged her hard. Just then did she realize how lonely her mother was. Kagome was always gone; Sota on his game cube, and Gramps didn't know anything. Kagome looked at the ground to find many pictures of herself and her dad, some of Sota, and some of Grandpa. Kagome looked up at her mother, and cried in her arms. Together they cried for a good 5 minutes.
"I'm sorry dear..." Kagome's mom started, but was shushed.
"Love ya mom." She said, gave her one last hug, and went down to pick up the pictures. As Kagome and her mom picked up the small mess that had been forming, Kagome told her mom how she couldn't do anything in the past, and how Inuyasha would not be coming for her because she had sealed the well. Kagome's mom nodded her head in agreement, then ushered her to the door.
"Why?" Kagome retorted to her mothers command.
"I'm gonna get you signed up in as many classes as possible. Karate, kendo, Yoga, swordsmanship, histories abut different things... anything you want to take." Kagome's mother told her.
"But, mom...?" Kagome was speechless. Sp much had happened in the past half hour that she was left without words. "What about money?"
"We have enough. I'd rather be poor and have you to be able to defend yourself then be rich and be clueless." Her mom said, "Besides, I wont have you get killed as you protect this school." Kagome smiled and ran out the shrine door, ran down the stairs, and hopped into the car.
"Shotgun!"
So, do you like it? I hope so. I want any reviews you can give me. I don't care if they are flames. I want you to tell me if it's good, if it's going to fast, or if I should start over. Love you all!
Peace out ya'll
