New Beginnings

By: TrueLoverKagome

A/N: Hi, everyone I have to say I am sorry for the wait on my story. I have doubted my writing skills on this story for I feel like I need some real character building into this so the plot needs to slow down. Then I realized that I was being maybe a little too hard on myself. I wish I could have realized this sooner but I cannot go back in time. This chapter is going to turn back to kagome to tell just what exactly is going on. I hope you can understand my madness. I am sick right now and out of a beta reader so it might not make the best of sense.

~Within Kagome's mind~

Kagome gave a sigh as she looked around more, the area about her was dark, yet she has noticed as she walks certain things about her would appear. She didn't understand it was as if she was glowing herself. She shook her head and kept walking once more only as she walked this time in a different direction she saw an opening that was glowing. However, she was wrong once more; it was not an opening but a cave that had something within it giving off a light. As she looked at the cave a little more she felt as if she had been there before. Entering the cave she looked about it seemed almost heavenly as grass was growing and flowers sprouting about in the cave which seemed to be odd as there was no sun light to reach it.

"Come child one mustn't linger in doorways" an old feminine voice called out to Kagome as she moved in as she was told.

"I'm sorry I believe I'm lost" Kagome called back only as she came in fully she found Midoriko sitting by a stream only she seemed different she wore no armor like Kagome had seen her in the cave where the jewel was created.

"I highly doubt you would be lost within your own mind child" the woman answered looking up to scan over Kagome. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you" she said to her with a bright smile.

"Lady Midoriko is I correct?" kagome asked as she watched Midoriko pat a spot next to her to over look the streaming waters.

"Yes that is me. I've come to tell you a piece of information that you've been missing and while I gave your father and Sesshoumaru's father a warning many years ago it seems they forgot to tell you as well" she said to her with a shake of her head. "Not that I blame them after all you were but a pup when I gave it" she said to her as many believed she fought against demons just because they were demons they were wrong on that fact. She fought demons who threatened to throw the balance of peace in the world.

"What warning are you speaking of?" Kagome asked her as she sat looking over the water yet the water did not show her reflection yet scenes of the past. First scenes were where as a pup she saved the lives of the village. Kagome barely remembered that yet as she saw the second scene start it was when she gave Sesshoumaru his arm back. Both figures watched as Kagome did it a third time with making Inuyasha a full demon.

"Your powers Kagome aren't that of a normal demon or that of a normal miko." Midoriko stated to Kagome as she turned to look at her. "Didn't you find it strange how Sesshoumaru got his arm back?" she asked Kagome.

"Yes I did but I had no answer." Kagome answered to her looking to Midoriko for the answer.

"Well in truth Kagome this isn't your first life and if things hadn't gone wrong in the heavens as they had you would have never set foot on this plane. Kagome you were a goddess. As a child you were attacked and thrown from the heavens during the fall you shifted forms to a soul and took place in your mother's womb. After all you were but a babe when you fell from heavens you naturally took a spiritual form for protection. Your attacker was found and banished. Your parents searched for you only by the time you were found your spirit had already bonded with the body in the Lady's womb." Midoriko stopped here to see how kagome was taking the information.

"So my mother and father aren't my parents?" Kagome asked as Midoriko shook her head with a laugh.

"Oh no they are your parents in this life just understand this only means you have two sets of parents one on earth and the other set in heaven watching over you. That's why I'm here Kagome your parents in heaven saw the God who had attacked you had found you or at least was getting close when they sent me. I gave your father a warning that many would want your powers. While you were hidden I created the jewel of four souls as it would be strong enough to cover up your powers." Midoriko stated with a smile. "I knew when I was born as I had been in the spirit world as your protector. I had failed and for that I am sorry" Midoriko said as she bowed her head.

"You failed no one" Kagome said as she didn't like how Midoriko had come to give her life to create the jewel.

"The jewel is only there to protect you that is why when you went through the well to the future it appeared in your body. Even with the spell hiding the fact you were a demon you still had the powers of your past life." Midoriko finished as she watched Kagome's face to gauge her reactions. Kagome wasn't sure what to think as she thought over all the information she had just been given.

"So let me get this right. I'm not really a demon but a goddess trapped in a demon body?" Kagome asked as she looked to Midoriko.

"Born into a demon body" Midoriko corrected.

"You are my protector and made the Jewel to protect me as it would keep my enemies attention from me?" Kagome asked only to see Midoriko nod her head.

"Alright so why are you here now?" Kagome asked her with a soft smile as she wanted to understand it all.

"Naraku will come soon and once the jewel is together again you won't have long as the reason the jewel is completely pure in your touch is because of your powers and the man banished for attacking you in heaven knows this and is watching he is starting to catch on. I've come to warn you to be ready you must train and hone your skills or you will lose and sadly the cost of losing is high as he will take your place in reaching heaven. You see when you die in this body the heavens gates will open to welcome you home. If he reaches the heavens earth will be thrown into chaos" Midoriko said to her, her face grim as she spoke of what would happen. "Only warning though is this god he is one of manipulation and chaos he is much like Naraku in that way but only because it was his power Naraku was created. You remember how Naraku said he made a deal with demons and became one with them so to gain the power. Well that isn't exactly true he was made into the half demon by the banished god not even Naraku knows the truth. Naraku is only a tool in a scheme to find you Kagome" Midoriko said as she braced for Kagome's reaction as she suddenly became upset. "Kagome you must go back now your friends and family need you they're worried" yet as Midoriko finished that statement the area started to shimmer and fade as Kagome became upset as she wanted more answers.

~ With the gang ~

Inuyasha sat at the side of Sesshoumaru's bed as the other were on the other side watching. All were worried as when they came in Sesshoumaru was nowhere in sight. After Taikan had left after the story and talk so when Noriko suggested they go check on Kagome. It was strange though as they looked over Kagome they felt something was off. Her energy was low and it worried them.

"How do you think she did all that?" asked Sango as she looked to Miroku while Inuyasha looked over the bed to her. Shippo was in Sango's lap as he heard that from her.

"I don't know but some answers will surely come soon" stated Miroku as he looked to Inuyasha.

"How does it feel?" Miroku asked Inuyasha as the once half demon turned full looked to him.

"Like nothing I dreamed of. And certainly not like the other times" He stated as he was talking about the times he had lost to his demon blood in dire times.

Suddenly kagome started to stir as she gave a whimper all of the group turn to watch her start and wake up. As her eyes opened she found herself looking to golden eyes yet as she started to wake fully she noticed it wasn't Sesshoumaru. "

"Inuyasha?" she asked as she didn't know what to think as she hadn't thought he would be there.

"Hey" he said with a smile.

(Alright I'm ending it there I'm extremely sorry for the wait I will post another one before the month is up I promise. The next chapter will be Kagome telling them everything and a little talk between Sesshoumaru and Taikan.)
