A young girl of thirteen was running from a group of teens. She was racing through the streets of Tokyo trying to get away, but nothing seemed to be going her way. A few days she was like anyone else but something changed all that. It was like it happened over night. She woke up to see a beautiful pair of golden butterfly wings. Her once raven black hair is now lavender, her eyes turned from a soft brown to golden brown. Everything else about her was the same color. She was now running through the streets of Tokyo trying to find the best way to jump up and take flight but had a hard time finding it.
"Get back here freak," A boy behind her called.
The girl turned around trying to find the best place to take off so she could find her way home. She turned a corner and noticed a small clearing were she was able to fly from her assailants. Turning around the girl saw them nearing her. She dodged a rock as came toward her head. The girl spun around and brought her hands in front of her. All of a sudden to two bushes of roses and ivy vines created a wall between her and her assailants. She had no way of thinking how that happened all she knew was she had to get away from them. She flew away into the sky.
"Mom." A young girl called into what seemed like an empty house.
"In the kitchen," Her mother called out.
The young girl, Kagome, walked into the kitchen to see her mother at the sink washing dishes, "How have you been." Kagome asked while grabbing a towel to help her mother with the dishes.
"A letter came for you a couple days ago,"
"Who, is it from?"
"I don't know dear," Kagome's mom looked up at her. Ever since that day three years ago Kagome was never the same. Her daughter was afraid she was going to hurt someone so she trained her newfound gifts day and night. Kagome perfected her gift and gain control until a few weeks ago when she was forced to use her powers against a group of kids that were attacking Souta.
Kagome looked like any other girl at first sight. If you would see what she looked like when she is training to use her gifts she let her human look change and turn into her true form. It was a form that her mother knew nothing about or what her daughter was. Kagome thought that it was mainly from her father. But that would remain a mystery because her father was dead and the rest of his family.
Kagome opened the letter on the table where her mother left all her letters when she was gone. On the front the address read Bayville New York, "Mom, do we have any relatives in Bayville?"
"No, Dear," Just as Kagome was about to open the letter InuYasha came into the house, "Hi, InuYasha."
"Kagome, what's keeping you so long?" InuYasha walked up to Kagome and peered over her shoulder, "You said you would only be a few minutes."
InuYasha was Kagome's best friend. He had long silvery white hair and two silvery white dog-ears on the top of his head. His eyes were the most beautiful gold that she had ever seen. Kagome couldn't believe that he was still standing next to her after everything that has happened in the past two years. They had traveled together throughout the Feudal Era of Japan. They traveled with four others Sango who was a demon slayer, Miroku a monk, Kirara Sango's faithful companion, and Shippo a fox child.
"Calm down InuYasha I was just looking at my mail," Kagome said as she read the scribbles on the piece of paper:
Dear Kagome,
I have been trying to get a hold of you a while. You have seemed to elude my censers but I finally found your name and address. Please contact me as soon as you get this letter.
Professor XavierKagome looked dumfounded, "InuYasha, it will be a few more minutes."
"We don't have time for this," InuYasha turned to Kagome, "we have to Naraku!"
"It will only be a few minutes," Kagome said looking into InuYasha golden eyes, "Anyway why do you care whether or not I go back with you. It's not like you need me anymore you have the jewel."
Those words hit InuYasha like a ton of bricks. He didn't like the sound of not needed her. The true was he needed her, even if she didn't need him. He loved her and wanted her at his side forever, "Kagome, get your stuff and lets go!" He was now getting more impatient by the minute.
"I just need to make a phone call," Kagome looked pleadingly at InuYasha, "I need to find out what I am." Kagome's hand shot to her mouth the moment she realized what she said. She couldn't believe that she let the words slip out of her mouth. He's going to see her as a freak if he saw her in her true form. It was a form that no one had an explanation about.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN …
Before InuYasha could finish his sentence Kagome was on the phone over seas, "Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters, Professor Xavier here." A voice spoke over the phone.
"Hi this is Higurashi Kagome," Kagome looked over at InuYasha who was now standing impatiently standing next to her, "I am calling in regards to your letter."
"Oh yes, Kagome," The Professor's voice was calm and collective, "I have been waiting for your call. You have given me quite I run around several times."
"What do you mean giving you the run around?"
"I have been tracking you several times but could never get a lock on you until recently."
Kagome started to let her human look disappear and her butterfly appearance come over her. InuYasha surprised reached over and started to tug on one of her silver and gold monarch wings. Her lavender hair reached down to her waist. Her golden brown eyes held confusion as she listened to what the professor was saying, "How were you able to track me down? The only people who know about me are my family. Not even my closest friends know." Suddenly a sharp pain shot through her wing, "Ouch! InuYasha, that's my wing you are pulling on! SIT BOY! Sorry Professor," Kagome watched as InuYasha hit the floor.
"Ka Go Me, What was that for," InuYasha yelled at the top of his voice.
"Quite alright," The professor said in a confused voice, "I will feel much better talking to you about this in person."
"That would be fine with me. But I don't know about my friend. His kind of tied up right now."
"What does that have anything to do with anything?"
"You'll see."
The spell finally wore off and InuYasha ran over to Kagome who looked emotionlessly at him. She had hoped he learned his lesson not to pull on her wings, "What was that for?" InuYasha asked for a second time.
"InuYasha, I am on the phone go to the and s-i-t on the couch." Kagome had her hand over the phone this time; "I will be in there in a minute now calm down."
"I will be there tomorrow evening to talk this over with you."
"Alright and I will let mom know and bring someone who can speak Japanese. It will be better if this could be explained in my first language." With a few parting words Kagome put the phone down and turned to her mother, "They will be here to explain everything tomorrow. I hope InuYasha would understand."
"I am sure he will my dear"
Kagome looked up at her mother while she leaned down on the counter, "I hope so."
Kagome went over the fridge and took out two cans of soda and went into the living room. She sat down next to InuYasha on the couch, "Sorry about sitting you earlier. I just have bad memories of people pulling on my wings and it hurt. Kind of like you and your ears," She said as she handed InuYasha his drink.
"Why do you have wings anyway?"
"To tell you the truth I don't know," Kagome looked into InuYasha's eyes, "They were just there one morning when I woke up. The same thing with my hair and eyes." Kagome started to cry as she told him when she found out, "I was able to get away by created a barrier of vines in front of the group of kids. Six month's after that I was home schooled. I looked for a way to where I could conceal the way I looked. I finally realized I could do it myself. All I had to do was the nature of my looks."
"Why didn't you tell me? We're kinda the same both not really belonging to ether world."
"I don't know. I guess I was scared of what you or the others would think. I mean look at me I look like a human butterfly."
"I can see that," InuYasha just looked ahead, "Don't you trust me?"
"Yes, but I…"
"Then why didn't you tell me you were not normal?" InuYasha was trying to hide his pain, "I would have understood."
"InuYasha, I told you I was scared." Kagome stood up and walked over to the picture window that looked over both the sacred tree and the well house. She knew that this would happen sooner or later. It seemed too soon for comfort, "I am human not demon. I don't know what that makes me." Kagome took a sip of her soda and looked over at InuYasha, "I will be staying here for a couple more days. They will be coming here. I may be able to get some questions answered. You can stay here if you'd like. I don't think mom would mind."
InuYasha looked at Kagome. He wanted to stay with her she looked so lost. "Fine I will stay here with only for one night." InuYasha was now standing next to her.
Kagome was taken aback by his comment, "Thanks InuYasha," She ran over to him and hugged him.
"Feh Wench, what was that for?" InuYasha peeled her off of him and looked at her. She still looked but she had a new sparkle in her eyes. Her eyes captured his for a long moment they stood looking into each other's eyes. Their faces slowly moved closer to each other. Their lips touched each other's. The kiss drawer deeper and more passionate as the kiss progressed. InuYasha's arms snaked around her waist pulling Kagome closer deepening the kiss. InuYasha pulled away from the kiss coming up for air. He looked at her. That kiss was so different from when he kissed Kikyo. Her kiss was cold and unforgiving even when she was alive. The kiss he had just shared was warm and inviting.
"Mom, How long have you been standing there?" Kagome exclaimed she and InuYasha blushed at realizing they had been caught in a kiss.
"Long enough to see you too kiss," Her mom smiled at Kagome and InuYasha, "I always knew you two were meant for each other."
"What do you mean for each other," InuYasha was trying to hide his blush from Kagome's mother, "Like I wanna be with her."
Steam came from Kagome's, "Sit boy!" Stomped up stairs to get away from InuYasha who had just met the floor a second time that day. "How dare he say that," Kagome brought her hand up to her lips, 'who am I kidding his still in love with Kikyo.' Kagome looked out at the window, which gave a good view of the sacred tree. 'Maybe he doesn't like what I look like.' Tears fought their way to the surface. It felt like her heart just broke into millions of pieces. Ever since she was thirteen she had tried to keep her gifts and looks a secret. She had always felt as if she lost the whole world and never gained it back. She had transferred schools in order to keep her gifts a secret. 'How could I be so stupid?' "I guess I made a mistake even to think that he cared. I thought that he would understand more then anyone else. I was wrong." Kagome let her tears flow.
"Kagome,"
Kagome spun around to see InuYasha standing behind her. She was so deep in thought that she didn't sense him near by, "How long were there?"
"Does it matter?" InuYasha walked up to Kagome and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. Shivers went down her spine with the sudden touch of his lips. She could just feel the love in that simple little kiss.
