Ok. For those who've seen my other fics, this one will be odd. Cause I was thinking of reversing roles. =P I was wondering what would happen if KAGOME was the one that was a half-demon and then INUYASHA was the reincarnation of OKITOKI? XD Silly… But, it was bugging meee~ =( ==And I shall give Kagome super strength! As well as make her a little taller and "Bigger" xD==

Reversed Tale:

Chapter Three: Betrayal!


'Broken vows are like broken mirrors. They leave those who held to them bleeding and staring at fractured images of themselves.'


Kagome snarled and attacked what seemed to be the fifth demon. "Crush Wrecker Soul Sniper!" She landed in front of a few others as Okitoki ran up. "Took ya long enough, Okitoki." She took off, having guarded Souta for what felt like the fifteenth time in a week. She swore the brat was testing her patience and was becoming a rather hard burden on her and even Okitoki for not knowing how to fight.

"Forgive me."

Shaking her head, she took out those in his blind side, having found it a while ago and not having a good opportunity to use it herself. "Come and get me!" She slashed more, their blood dripping from her claws. "Daggers of Blood!" They fought until the next day and not long into the next afternoon when she met him at the usual spot, having seen what happened to Souta. "How's your brother's... eye?" She actually felt bad that the kid got hurt from his own brother rather than a demon or herself.

"I've done a terrible thing to him... I'm entirely the one to blame. If only I had not been so careless."

Kagome blinked and looked away. "Don't blame yourself too much. Things like this are bound to happen when you're fighting all the time..."

"Kagome, are you unable to be yourself unless you're fighting?"

She gave him a side glance with narrowed eyes, trying to figure out his purpose. "You asked me something like that before."

"Wouldn't you like to stop fighting?"

"Huh? Whaddya mean?" That was an odd question for someone to ask in this age, where it was constant fighting and surviving.

"Stop fighting all the time. Stop and become human." He suggested

"Me? Become a human?" She mentally scoffed before turning thoughtful. 'Could I really exist as a human? I mean... I'd be able to stop being called a half-breed or a mutt.'

"It's possible. While you are a half-demon, you are also half-human. If the Sacred Jewel of the Four Souls fell into the hands of a demon, their powers will undoubtedly increase." He continued to look at her. "However, if it were used to turn you human, it would be purified. The Jewel of Four Souls would cease to exist."

"What would happen to you, Okitoki?"

"My duty is to protect the Jewel. Without it, I could live a normal life."

Kagome took them boating again. It gave her time to look over their time together and noticed that he never really flinched when she would put a hand out to help him, despite being a priest while she was a half-demon. Now she found that the Jewel wasn't her concern anymore and instead decided she found a place for her: at his side. If it meant becoming a human, she would now do so happily. It was as easy a breathing to make the decision and it also meant that Okitoki would stop getting attacked by demons if the damned thing was gone. They began to row back to where she had 'borrowed' the boat, holding it still with the oar so he could get off. She wasn't expecting him to trip and bump into her, her using her strength to keep them from both falling and looking into his violet eyes. She then hugged him, dropping the oar and holding herself to him.

"Okitoki... I will become human." She pulled back and glared at the dock, trying to get her words to work. "I swear I'm not just saying this. I WILL become human.."

"Kagome..."

"That way... You can be a normal human, too... And be my..."

"Enough..." He said softly. "That's all I need to hear..."

"Okitoki... I truly am in l.."

Okitoki then bent a little and surprised her again when his lips met hers in a loving kiss, making her eyes widen in shock before she kissed him back, hearing his heartbeat due to her hearing as well as hers. He gently pulled back and the two stared into each other eyes: violet into gold. "Kagome... Are you sure about this... About me?"

"Heh.. Do ya even have to ask?" She joked, her tone much lighter, despite the fact her being was rather light and felt like she was on air. This must've been what humans called 'love' and she rather enjoyed the feeling. They walked towards their usual parting spot, where they hid so he could stroke and cup her cheek.

"Tomorrow at noon... In front of the Sacred Tree in the Western Forest. Wait for me, my dearest..." He said, giving her one more kiss before heading towards his village.

She didn't notice her silly grin until she went to a nearby spring, finding it rather weird to have such an expression on her face and even odder that she like it. 'Sorry, Mother. I know I promised to become like my father, but... I love Okitoki too much to do so... Perhaps I'm an idiot, but you used to say love makes us all idiots in some way.' Even if she never knew her father, they way her mother spoke of him, he was a kind demon, something that was even forbidden long ago: a demon and human in love like they were. Hell, she was proof of that love, yet they defied odds. She relaxed against the rock she was near, keeping her ears and nose on alert, as always, while her mind wandered to the future that was possible when she became human: having a husband like Okitoki, children, growing old together and dying together, just like in those weird stories children of the villages often talked about. Before, she would always roll her eyes and think they were idiots, but now she wished she had listened to the tales closer.


Kagome yawned and rubbed her eyes from sleep, stretching out the kinks she sometimes got from sleeping in the trees. She glanced and saw it wasn't quite noon, but decided to be at the destined spot early. Stopping, she looked at some wonderful flowers and smiled, picking some and placing them in her kisode, ready to give to the man she admitted she loved. When she arrived at the large tree, she was confused as to where her beloved was. "Okitoki? He's not here yet..." Her ears perked up at his familiar laughter, though something was a little different in the tone.

"So you've come, half-demon..."

It took her mind a few moments before she answered, caught off-guard from the words. "W-What did you say, Okitoki?

"I said half-demon. Can't those ugly dog ears hear what I say?" He sneered.

"'Ugly dog'?" She felt the world collapse beneath her as she stared at the arrow aimed directly at her. Her hands shook as she clenched them, glaring at the man that had once called her lovely.

"I can't let a half-demon like you have the Sacred Jewel. I will destroy you here and now. Die, Kagome!" He shot an arrow her way, which she dodged. "Begone, half-demon!" He shot more in her wake as she dodged more.

Kagome snarled at the turn of events, knowing now that she was wrong to believe half-demons had a place. 'After all this time you were just toying with me? You promised to never call me 'half-demon', but yet... Why now?!' She bust into the shrine housing the Jewel, blocking the salt smell with her sleeve, smirking at the glowing ball before yanking it when villagers burst in with arrows. Before they even aimed and fired, she lept and their arrows only made the shrine explode, to her laugh. "So there! With you, my friend, I can become a true demoness! I will never let anyone call me a half-demon again!" She landed and took a few steps before leaping and taking off again, flying right past the Sacred Tree.

"DIE, KAGOME!" Came a shout.

That made her turn her head to meet angry violet eyes with her own, those eyes that had once shown with love now burned in anger, the image burning into her mind. She noticed the blood on his shoulder, her nose noting he was gravely wounded by the smell alone. 'I never doubted you, not for a minute. Yet you deceived me.'

"KAGOME!" He shouted, firing off an arrow and it hit her hard in the shoulder, pinning her to the tree.

"O-Oki-toki... How could... I thought..." She watched him wobble from a wound to where it was. 'Is this how I die? I guess that's okay... Okitoki.. Even though it ended like this... I still... love...' She drifted off to sleep, her last thought being that he merely sealed her rather than killed her, a part of her was happy some part of him still seemingly cared for her.


She woke to find herself in a misty area before she turned at a familiar tone. 'M.M..Mother!' She turned to see a beautiful woman, around twenty or twenty-five.

Her lovely black hair was to the ground and she wore a beautiful kimono, brown eyes showing love that only a mother could hold. The woman walked over and Kagome realized they were now the same height now. 'Daughter... Why are you crying?'

Kagome was unaware until she felt her mother brush aside a stray tear. 'I tried so... hard to find a place... I'll never belong, will I?' She let her mother hold her, aware she could hurt her with her strength. Carefully, she hugged back.

'Oh, my heart... You will soon... I know it. You weren't meant to die yet... That is one thing I know. Another is that you belong with both worlds: demon and human... Just like I did with your father, rest his soul.' The woman sat them down and let her daughter cry for the first time since she passed away. 'Soon, you'll understand my words and know what they mean... For now, I will always be there to guide you and your heart...'

'I miss you so much, mother... It hurt me knowing that you would've died somehow, but to do so when I was a brat... I take back all the mean things I had said that day you died.' Kagome had once said her mother was stupid and that she 'deserved' whatever heartache she had. It was mostly because Kagome never met her father, yet her mother seemingly loved the man.

'Shh, my dear... I know you didn't mean anything by that... Now... You must wake up... I shall always be with you, in your heart... I love you so much, my daughter...'

"I love you too, Mother...'Kagome felt everything fade away; her mother's gentle lilac scent and all.


I like this way better and it sets up the rest of the series better. Also, if you didn't guess from the little bloop earlier, I don't like Towa... I just don't... I think she's trying to replace Kagome by being that link between eras... It's like Kagome's story, but if it were different... I love Setsuna and Moroha, yet I don't like Towa... Don't hate me!
