Chapter 7: Fiction
Kagome walked down the long hallway that led to the hotsprings. Myoki asked her to join her and she gladly complied. As she walked down the hallway she mused over the days training. ' I never knew I was that strong. The power, it felt so wonderful. To almost control it…" She smiled at the thought of having everyone not worrying about her being defenseless. She won today. She beat Saino, their sensei. And she couldn't have done it with them; Myoki, Tsutsuma, Chiharu, and 'Sesshhoumaru.' He helped her, besides all the insults he threw at her, he really brought her old self back again. She can fight knowing that she wasn't weak or useless anymore. She smiled at herself. Right now she wanted to show InuYasha how wrong he was. She wasn't weak, she's stronger now and she won't let anyone push her around.
She continued down the hallway until she reached a door. As she opened the door, she met a very angry youkai.
"Kagome-chan!, your late! I've been sitting her for 20 minutes!"
Kagome laughed nervously at her new friend. She couldn't help it. When she went to gather her bathing supplies, Rin kept asking question, and she needed help to find the bathroom. And to think that Rin lived longer in the castle then her.
"Gomen Myoki-chan. You see I was taken hostage by a little girl."
Myoki looked at her with a serious face until it dropped and she started laughing.
"Rin took you hostage! The great Shizamako got taken hostage by a mere child!" Myoki grabbed her stomach, trying to control her laughter. Tears ran down her eyes as she pictured Kagome ties to a chair with Rin snickering evilly. "Don't worry Kagome-chan. I'm not mad at you. I know how it feels to be capture by Rin. I remember the first time I met her she had me picking flowers with her till I had to leave."
Kagome giggled at Myoki's short tale. She never expected Rin to get anyone to do anything for her. She was a sweet child, but sometimes she could get out of hand.
"Now, stop standing there and get in here. I don't have all day long you know."
"Hai." Kagome undressed her self and settle herself in the hotspring. The water was warm just like she remembered.
"Ne Kagome-chan, how did you figure out to launch your attack from you blades?" Myoki looked at her with confusion is her facial features.
"I don't know. When Saino first launched the attack, I had a feeling. The attack looked and felt so familiar. As I kept looking at it, one word popped into my head. Hyakuretsuoukazan."
"So you're saying that it would come naturally to me?"
"I guess. But I wouldn't put all my hopes on that. Maybe you could ask Saino about your attacks. I bet she's bound to have something on your attacks!"
"Alright then." Myoki looked disappointed at the answer. She had no idea how she was going excute her attacks when it came to the time to battle. She didn't want to be in the way and not have everyone say she was useless.
"Don't worry Myoki-chan. I'm sure you'll master you attacks before we go into battle."
"Hai."
"Ne Myoki-chan, tell about your life before you became the Seriyu god?"
"My life?"
"Of course! What else would I say?"
"Ano… well as you probably already know I'm a hime of the East Castle. My life is pretty boring. I'm not really the princess type as you see. My father always wanted a son. But unlucky for him he got a daughter." Myoki sighed as she thought about her life back at the castle.
"We never communicate after my mother died from a sickness she caught from the humans. Father became more distance and never came out of his study. Since my mother died he hired teachers to teach me the way of a "hime". Its really annoying though. They'll tell me to sit straight. and no shouting even if someone says something unpleasant about you! I tried telling father these classes or no use! But, he insisted that I take them. Ha! I rather train and fight then do those completely useless classes that are for obnoxious pricks!" Myoki crossed her arms around her chest and made a small 'hmph'. Kagome blinked eyes once and giggled at the scene. Myoki was truly an independent woman you could say. "What about you Kagome-chan? What were you doing before you became the Shizamako?"
Kagome's giggles stopped at the question. Did she truly want to walk over the boundary of talking about her and her friends with InuYasha? She didn't want to cheat Myoki like that after she already had told her about herself. But, if she'd talk then maybe all those painful memories would come back. She sighed to herself and gave in to Myoki's question.
"Well, I was a miko at a villlage near InuYasha forest. You see I was supposedly the recarnation of a dead village miko named Kikyo. She protected the Shikon jewel before I did. I guess she was to pass it down to the next Shizamako. Well after a while I had the responsibility to hold on to the jewel, but a crow youkai took it." Kagome laughed nervously as she saw the look on Myoki's face. "Yeah, you can guess I was really irresponsible. When I tired to get the jewel back I ended up shattering it into pieces. After that I started on a journey to collect the jewel shards. But, I guess the journey is over since the jewel has become whole again." Kagome fiddle with the jewel around her neck. If she ever sees InuYasha then she had to tell him her job collecting the jewel shards are over.
"Wow! That must had been really stressing! Tell me, did you have any companions to help you along your journey?"
Kagome gulped silently. This was the questioned she hoped that would have been avoided.
"H-Hai. I did. I travel with some companions."
"Well what were their names?"
"Ano, there was a perverted monk name Miroku. "
"A perverted monk? Aren't monks you know are not suppose to be perverted?"
"Well Miroku is an exception. He may be perverted but he makes everything more alive in the group. You can say Miroku is the clown in the group, but he can be really serious when he wants too."
"I wouldn't mind meeting Miroku, he sounds like a really good person."
"Well, you might want to stay away from his supposedly curse hand. It tends to wander." Kagome gave a look warning Myoki what might become of her backside if she met Miroku. Myoki caught the look and giggled.
"Who else was in your group?"
"Oh, well there was cute little Shippou-chan. He's a kitsune youkai. He's can be really brave. But poor Shippous sometimes hide from the battles. He just is too small to go against bigger youkai. And there was…" Kagome paused as she tired to keep her voice from shaking. "Sango. She was…she…" (A/N Notice how Kagome drop the chan from Sango's name.) Her voice cracked as the memories of Sango and InuYasha's betrayal played in her mind. There was no way she could how down her emotions now.
"Kagome-chan? Daijoubou desu ka?" The tears ran down her face, as she sobbed covering her face from her humiliation. "Kagome-chan?"
"S-Sango, she was like sister to me. We did everything together and we told each other everything. We even promised not to tell lies to each other." Kagome laughed slightly as she remembered the betrayal her supposed call sister did."But, she lied. She lied to me." Tears fell as she looked up at Myoki. "She betrayed me. Went behind my back. And went to see InuYasha." Her voice was full of disgust and she mention Sango with InuYasha. "They both betrayed me. Sango knew I was in love with InuYasha, but she still went behind my back." Kagome finally broke down as she cover her face. Sobs echoed in the springs as Kagome cried. The tear droplets fell in the water forming mutliple rings.
Myoki's voice was caught in her throat. She had no idea what to say to her best friend. Her sobs were painful and becoming louder. She had know idea what was going on, but she was going to comfort her friend.
"Ne Kagome-chan its okay. Sango-san is not here right, and so is this InuYasha. So you don't have to worry about them, right?" The youkai hime hugged her friend seeing as her comforting words subsided her friend's sobs.
"H-Hai."
"There is no need to worry about them. Leave the past behind you. You have us now, remember? You got me, Tsutsuma, Chiharu, and dare I say that stubborn dog Sesshoumaru?"
Kagome chuckled lightly as Myoki called Sesshoumaru a stubborn dog. She was right though. She needed to let got. She's living a new and a more excited life now. And that includes her and Myoki annoying certain people.
"You're right, Myoki-chan. Gomen ne. I didn't mean to break down like that."
"It's alright! That's what friends are for right?"
"Hai."
"Well then, why don't we forget all about this, and get ourself cleaned up. I'm sure after you're all washed up, I'm sure Sesshoumaru would keep looking at you like he was this morning."
"Nani! What are you talking about?!" A full fledge blush popped on Kagome's face. Her hands went to her checks trying to cover the blush that was on her face.
"I saw the way he looked at you and not just him you too! They way you two looked at each other, reminded me of two lovers!"
" N-No its not what you think! He's was just boosting my confidence when I fighting Saino! Besides why would I be in love with an ungrateful, stubborn, jerk like him?!" Kagome crossed her arms against her chest, pouting her lips showing her disapproval.
"Right and, Tsutsuma isn't a clown. But, Kagome next time I see you staring like him like that, I'm going to tell everyone that you and Sesshoumaru are lovers!"
"You wouldn't!"
"Oh, don't underestimate the great Myoki!"
"Really? Well then the great Myoki, take this!" Kagome splashed water in Myoki's face as she giggled as her friend spat water out of her mouth.
"Kagome-chan! That wasn't nice!"
"Awww, what you are going to do about it?"
"This!" Myoki splashed water on Kagome's face and dragged her down into the water."Surrender to the great Miyoki!"
"Alright, alright! I surrender!" Kagome playfully hit Miyoki on the arm grinning at her with devilish eyes. "You may have won this round, but I'll get you next time!" Kagome got out of the spring and wrapped herself in a towel.
"Where you're going?"
"You remember that little girl that kept me hostage?"
"Hai."
"Well I promised her that I'll pick flowers with her." Kagome smiled at Myoki as she dressed herself in a new kimono.
"You're serious?"
"Hai. But don't worry I'll se you soon, ne?"
"Hai. Tomorrow morning I'll meet you at your room so we can go to training together."
"Airight then! Till then Myoki-chan!" Kagome waved at her best friend before closing the door behind her.

Kagome walked down the halls hoping she can find Rin, because she has no idea where the garden was. The thing about Rin, she uses her cuteness to manipulate people, even Sesshoumaru. She has to admit that the puppy eye look that she gives Sesshoumaru is funny. You can see Sesshoumaru battling with himself. It's really entertaining. Just looking at Rin may her think of herself when she was that little.
"Kagome-chan! Over here!" Kagome turned to her left finding a very energetic Rin waving her hands to get Kagome's attention. Kagome smiled and hurried her way towards the young girl.
"Konbanwa Rin-chan. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine! I played with Jaken-sama! Sesshoumaru-sama said a really good game to play with Jaken-sama is to tie him to a chair and throw rocks at him to see if he can dodge him!"
"Hontou?" Kagome laughed nervously as Rin explained the game she was playing with Jaken. She hated the toad, but know she really felt bad for him. She just hoped this wasn't the game that Rin would want to play with her anytime soon. She going to lecture Sesshoumaru about giving girls her age ideas like that.
"Hai! It was really fun, but Jaken-sama got send to see Yokino-sama I hope he's okay!" (A/N Yokino is the healer in the castle)
'I hope so too. I bet I'll be dead if I played a game like that."
"Well, you had a fun day didn't you? So are we're going to pick flowers or not?"
"Hai! I'm going to make lots of pretty necklaces for you Kagome-chan! You'll look even prettier!"
Kagome blushed at the comment. No one really call her pretty before. "Arigatou Rin-chan."
"Rin, you shouldn't flatter people with lies." Both girls turned around, but to meet the golden gaze of Sesshoumaru.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin ran to her adoptive father, hugging his leg. Rin grinned at Sesshoumaru, as he patted her head to return her affection.
Kagome huffed as she saw Sesshoumaru. The jerk was calling her ugly! This was the second time today he called her that. She really wanted to smack the dog in the head.
"What are you doing here Sesshoumaru? Don't you have 'stuff' to do?" Kagome glared at the taiyoukai in front of her. Bluish-green clashed with gold as they stare one another down.
"I merely wanted to see what my ward was up too."
"We'll you can take your 'stick-up your ass' attitude some where else, cause I'm really not in any mood to deal with it."
Sesshoumaru growled lightly at the girl in front of him. She disrespected him again. She needed to learn her place. He wouldn't tolerate that type of attitude towards him.
"You'll learn how to respect this Sesshoumaru, Shizamako or not."
"Whatever. Come on Rin, didn't I promise you to pick flower with you?"
"Hai, but would Sesshoumaru-sama join us? Please!"
'You better say no you jerk!"
Rin gave the puppy eye look to Sesshoumaru, begging him to join them. Sesshoumaru didn't want to go, but if Kagome was going then he'll go, only to learn more about her and annoy her. Besides he was bored doing all those paperwork all day.
"Hai, I will go."
"Yay! Sesshoumaru-sama is going!" Rin happily smiled and took both Kagome's and Sesshoumaru's hands.

Saino sat on top of the castle roof, waiting for her companion to arrive. She sighed as she remembered her old companion. Nioki was a troublemaker, but she always got her work done the right way for some reason. Saino and Nioki may be foils of each other but they were the bestest friends. (A/N I know bestest isn't a word, but it sound so right to me! Don't kill for me bad English.)
Saino opened her eyes as she heard the sound of foot steps heading her way.
"You're late Nioki. Don't even try to sneak up on me."
"Aww, Saino you're no fun! You should lighten up!" Nioki grinned at her with an innocent face. But she knew to well though. Nioki may look innocent, but to be truthful Nioki had seen a lot of things that someone her age shouldn't have seen.
"Do I ever lighten up?"
"True, but you should aleast try!"
"I rather not. But you came here to dicussing something did you not?"
"Oh, hai! I've been watching your training with the new gods and the Shizamako! Don't you think that you're being to harsh on them?"
"No, if I go easy on them, then they'll never be able to defeat Naraku, not with Lucifer reborn inside of him."
"I see." Nioki's voice was serious for once. Thinking about the upcoming battle that would be placing soon you darken the mood of anyone. "That girl, Kagome, she has real potential."
"I see that you have notice. Yes she does."
"You know Saino-chan, I have a feeling that they will be able to defeat Naraku and Lucifer for good.
"Hontou?"
"Hai."
"Then I believe you then."
Nioki smiled at her best friend. Saino looked at Nioki, and for once she smiled back at her.

The three made it to the garden. With Sesshoumaru sitting besides Kagome, only to drive her insane, which apparently it was. Rin was making flower necklaces like any little girl would do.
"Kagome-chan! Look! Isn't it pretty?!" The little girl made her way towards Sesshoumaru and Kagome showing her flower necklace to them.
"It's very pretty Rin-chan."
"Kagome-chan, why don't you make one?"
"Alright then. It has been a while since I've made these though."
Sesshoumaru watched the interaction with the two. Rin never really warmed up to anyone except Jaken and himself. It seems having Kagome around brought a positive thing to the castle.
Kagome picked different types of flowers weaving them into a necklace. Just doing this brought back so many memories when she was little. Her mother would sing a song to her while Kagome made flower necklaces for her.
She hummed the tune that her mother sang to her. It was rather catchy if you kinda think of it. But the lyrics reminded her of her father when he had died. Maybe that was why her mother sang it.
"Kagome-chan, what is that you're humming to?"
"Oh, it was a song that my Kaa-san used to sing to me when I was about your age."
"Hontou?"
"Hai."
"Would you sing it for me Kagome-chan?"
"Ano…" Kagome blushed knowing that she probably couldn't sing. She could try though, because Ayumi said that she had a lovely voice.
"Rin you shouldn't ask impossible tasks for Kagome. Knowing her she might hurt our ears."
'Why that jerk! This is the second time he insulted me and front of Rin! Oh, I'm going to make him eat him words!' Kagome growled at Sesshoumaru and stuck her tongue at him. Sesshoumaru merely raised a silvery eyebrow at her questioning her actions.
"Don't worry Rin-chan, I sing it!" Kagome grinned at Rin, hoping to prove Sesshoumaru wrong
"Hontou?"
"Hai."
Kagome smiled and remember the tune her mother sang to her. The wind blew playing with her hair she took a breath and sang.
I'm living with false hope, and my eyes
just wanna see a ray of light
I'm gonna find it in my fairy tale
I hear, long forgotten broken toys
tell me ancient tales of a boy
I will sing of them in my fairy tale
I was just a silent girl
always dreaming of a little angel
close to my reality
sing, la la la ...
the midnight sun hangs in the sky
show me your smile, my little angel
hear me, my fantasy
sing la la la...through the night
Kagome smiled as she sang getting comfortable as she sang. It was really refreshing to sing her heart out.
Sesshoumaru stared at the angle that was infront of him. He never knew that she had such an angelic voice. His eyes slightly widen as she sang towards the sky.
see, how my flights of imagination
help me discover comprehension
I can find it in my fairy tale
I know, only a man can dare to dream
nothing is really as it seems
keep on telling, your own fairy tale
now wake up, my silent girl
take to flight, like a foolish angel
sing me your fantasy
sing, la la la...
my midnight sun hangs in the sky
the first and last wondrous invention
show me the horizon
sing, la la la...
Without knowing Kagome touched Sesshoumaru's hand that was resting on the ground. She blushed at her action but kept it there as Sesshoumaru made no move to remove his hand.
the summer is here, we kiss and fall in love
but we've got to go, leaving nothing here
I wanna share the memories of long forgotten love
I was just a silent girl
wishing for better understanding
this is my melody
sing, la la la ...
my midnight sun hangs in the sky
help me to tell my history
with painted scenery
sing, la la la ...
in my fairy tale
I'm living in my fairy tale ...
Kagome finished her song staring at the moon that had just risen in the dark night. The song brought so many memories of her father that it hurt to think why her mother sang that song. Her mother wanted to see her father once more. For some reasons she felt her mother's pain.
"Kagome-chan that was really good! You sing like an angel!"
"A-Arigatou!" Kagome had know idea that Sesshoumaru was thinking the same thing.
"Rin."
"Hai Sesshoumaru-sama?"
"It's time for bed."
"Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama! Oyasumi Kagome-chan!"
"Oyasumi."
Rin waved at the two as she made her way back to the castle.
"Kagome."
"H-Hai." Kagome was rather nervous being alone with the taiyoukai. After her little stunt with the hand she doesn't think she could look at him in the eye.
"Your singing is very soothing. Perhaps you could sing for me another time." Sesshoumaru looked once more before he made his way back inside the castle.
'Did Sesshoumaru just compliment me?" A blushed tainted her cheek as she watch Sesshoumaru walked away from her.
