Chapter Seven: A Past

Shippo dragged Kagome down the street quickly. Kagome was panting as Shippo opened the gate and pulled her to the porch. Kaede was slowly rocking in the rocking chair and opened one eye as Shippo slowly rocked her awake.

She took one look ay Kagome and pulled every one into the house.

Kagome sat silently at the table, not sure where to look. Kaede was making tea and Shippo was grabbing some biscuits from the cub-bored. Soon everyone was at the table.

The mug of tea was in front of Kagome and Kagome steered inside. "It's been a very long time since I've seen a mermaid," Kaede said after a pause, "You look a lot like the one I saw when she cam upon land and married my son."

The tea spelt all over the table as Kagome looked up; even Shippo was looking at the old, old woman. A small smile was upon her lips.

"Yo—your not serious are you?" Kagome spat out.

"Yes I am young sea swimmer," Kaede said taking a sip from her tea she sighed.

"Sea swimmer? My old-blood…….grandmother called mer-people sea swimmers?" Kagome said her memory of her grandmother making a sea cake flattered back to her mind, "Her name was Lianna, Lianna Jin."

Kaede looked at Kagome, and placed her cup on the table. "My son Anthony married a sea swimmer, and her name Lianna and she look much like you," Kaede said, "And she had a daughter and named her a strange name, Sea."

"That's my mother!" Kagome was now so wide eyed you'd think that her eyes would fall right onto the table, "Sea is my mother's name, my old-blood's name was Lianna and called mer-people sea swimmers. So so so," Kagome's knees crumpled beneath her. "I am your grate, grate, old-blood." Kaede said looked at Kagome with kind eyes.

Kagome closed her eyes and thought for a second.

SPLASH!!!

Kagome was dripping wet and was nocked off the back off her chair in surprise, with no time to suppress the transformation her clothes melted into seem what nothing and her purple tail replaced her legs.

"Wah- what in the name of the seven seas! Why did you do that!?' Kagome shouted at Shippo who held the bucket of water. Kagome flipped her self over and looked at Shippo who just had a grin in his face.

Kaede just tut-tutted and got up from her seat and went out of the room to fetch a towel.

"I just wanted to see if you REALLY were a mermaid as you claimed to be," Shippo said putting down the bucket. Kagome's face became softer than she just busted out laughing holding her weight up with her arms.

FIVE MINUETS LATER

Kagome had curled her tail, with a bit of effort, beside her and was towel drying her hair, she had not said a word since she had transformed.

"How come," Kagome said finally speaking, "you're not dead like my old-blood; she had turned to fome when I was about five."

"Ahh- that is because I am a miko dear," Kaede said with a kind smile on her face.

"Miko?" Kagome asked.

"I am a very powerful priestess my dear, and so I do not age as fast as ordinary humans," Kaede said, "Just as your grandfather, who was a priest, and now that you mention it your mother was probably the first of her kind. Not just as being half human but she probably had the Miko blood in her as well."

Kagome had now figured that her mother was half-human; and she also knew that her father was a mer-man. "So dose that make me a Miko too?" asked Kagome.

Kaede held out her hand to Kagome who took it; Kaede's eyes fluttered shut then opened up quickly and she withdrew her hand.

"Yes I'm positive that you are a Miko too; and a full blood Miko too at that."

Kagome had dried off and was now wearing the same dress as she had when she had arrived on land. Exited the door and was off back to her apartment.

Kaede shocker her head, "what is it?" Shippo asked.

"Poor girl she had a rough rode ahead of her." And with that Kaede went back inside.
