As Time Passes By
(Kagome's Point of View)
She was running. She was running through the forest at a rate that was completely inhuman. She was leaving something behind her and looking for someone. She passed countless trees and landscapes. She finally came to a clearing that was filled with flowers, tall grass, and a crystal clear pond. She then noticed that she was not the only one there. A larger white dog lay across the clearing looking at the crescent moon's reflection in the small pond. She could hear a nearby creek dumping its water into the small pond. Kagome was wearing a kimono as white as the moon, with 7 layers of kimono's that were black to silver to pearl, and wore a long celestial robe that shined like the moon high above her. She walked towards the white dog that held a purple crescent moon on his forehead. She placed a hand on the mark and felt the dog's power through her veins. She felt calm and the dog was more than accepting of her presence. She closed her eyes in peace and began to drift off into happy thoughts. Then… she woke up.
"My Lady it is time to wake up. My Lady", spoke a sweet female voice.
Kagome opened her eyes to find a crane demon looking at her. The demon had white hair the fell to her shoulders, it was cropped at a sharp angle, had brown eyes, seemed to have pure white skin, and was wearing a kimono that was white with cherry blossoms swirling from the bottom to her right shoulder.
"Who are you", Kagome asked the demon.
"I am Shiroi my Lady. I am your head servant and will be directly serving you. Anything you request I will provide the service. Although right now all of the Council of the West is awaiting your presence. We must get you properly dressed", commented the crane demon.
"I see Shiroi. What am I expected to wear to this council meeting?"
"Well Lord Sesshomaru-sama spoke of a sapphire or pearl colored attire that is seven layers and to carry your fans with you my Lady."
Kagome nodded toward Shiroi and rose from her new bed. She was currently wearing a slightly see-through pearl yakata. You could not see anything through the material but the material was transparent enough to notice that it was not clothing to wear around the castle. She headed into the hot springs room for her first bath. She went behind the beautifully crafted moonstone screen and entered into the hot spring were she bathed herself. Kagome would not allow Shiroi to bath her, no matter how much Shiroi pleated. Soon after her bath Kagome headed behind the screen again and allowed Shiroi to dress her properly. When the process was done Kagome was wearing a sapphire blue kimono with silver lines that looked like wind blowing on her furioside sleeves and across the front of the kimono. Her under layer kimono's were sliver, light blue, crystal, and pearl. The obi around all eight of the kimono's was purple with a black wind pattern.
"My Lady may I have the privilege of fixing your hair and make-up?"
Kagome looked at Shiroi. "Only my hair Shiroi. I shall do my own make-up. I do not like the current make-up style for women."
"As you wish my Lady."
Kagome then made her way towards her vanity. After Kagome sat down Shiroi began working on Kagome's hair. Shiroi pulled Kagome's hair into a huge neat bun with sapphire blue feathers with small silver hair ornaments into her hair. Shiroi made sure that some of her hair had random hair pieces falling and curling around to accent Kagome's face and the back of Kagome's head.
As soon as Shiori was done Kagome took out the make-up. She placed a black line on the top half of her eyes, with smoky sliver eye cream on the eye lids, a small amount of pink blush/powder on, and just the right color of red lip paint on. Overall Kagome was as gorgeous as any goddess could ever hope to look.
"My Lady you look so lovely! I cannot wait to hear what the generals will say about your appearance my Lady. Please excuse my blabbering I have a tendency to become over excited when ever a women looks just absolutely beautiful."
"Shiroi there is no harm done. I am not a mean being by nature and I find your comments very flattering. You do not have to worry about being so formal with me Shiroi."
"Thank you my Lady. I am very fortunate to have you as my mistress."
"Shiroi please enough with the flattery", spoke Kagome with a smile directed to Shiroi and giggled. Then Shiroi gave her own little giggle.
"My Lady we must not keep the Lords and the Generals waiting."
"You are right Shiroi. Let us go." Kagome sat up and grabbed her fans. She then left the room with Shiroi following directly behind her. Yesterday after dinner Kagome and Shippo received a tour of the castle by Jaken because the two Lords of the House were busy with paper work. So Kagome knew exactly were she was needed.
So she headed to the second floor were all the meeting were held and came to a door on the far end of the main hallway. The entrance to the conference room was made of two huge blocks of diamonds and had a giant crescent moon chiseled into the two doors. The handles were silver and were very light. Kagome open them with no trouble, even when the youki energy was released after their opening.
Kagome was greeted with a crescent moon table with Sesshomaru and Inuyasha at each point. There were seats filled with many youki, most of them men with only two females. The floor was water that didn't get anything wet but rippled as she walked. The walls were black like night sky and the lights were the little illuminations of stars floating all over.
"May I introduce you to the powerful Lady Kagome. She will be a head general along side Inuyasha, Shippo, and myself. She is to be treated with respect, anyone who wishes to disrespect her must face the men of the Tashio clan first", spoke Sesshomaru. The youki in the room were startled by the high complement that Sesshomaru gave her. They observed Kagome standing tall, confident, full with dignity, and most of all they could feel power radiate off of her in huge waves. The pressure of Kagome's power caused many youki in the room to feel as if they lost the ablitiy to move. The funny thing is that Kagome was really supressing most of her power, so that she would not purify the youki on the spot.
After Kagome's introduction she bowed like a lady and look at the head of the family (Sesshomaru) and waited for him to tell her were she would sit. Currently their was an open seat to his left and Inuyasha was to Sesshomaru's right; Shippo was next to Inuyasha and Rin was next to Shippo. When Kagome first reconized Rin she could not help noticing that she looked like Sesshomaru's pure blooded daughter. She had his hair only wavy, his golden eyes, and an outline of a purple crescent moon. Rin was wearing an outfit simular to Kagome's but was orange, white, and gold. Kagome was glad to find Rin at the meeting. It meant that Sesshomaru was treating his daughter well.
"Lady Kagome before you take the seat to my left I would like to ask you to demonstrate some of your battle techique", said Sesshomaru. Kagome nodded her head and walked to keep her distance from the table. Kagome really didn't want to break the beautiful furniture.
(Sesshomaru's Point of view)
Kagome nodded and began to walk away and as she walked he could not help but be awed by the elegance she showed when walking. Kagome then stopped and the water rippled at her feet for some time. Then Kagome began to glow blue making her even more exquisite. She twirled around with her fans opened and began what looked like a dance that a professional geshia would perform. Her blue aura surrounded her and then he noticed that her eyes were glowing. They were like an aqua blue and could be clearly seen through the darkness. The water began to flow around her and swirled around her form from the pressure of her power.
All Sesshomaru could say about Kagome's performance was this... Breath taking. Not only did Kagome show her power but she also showed her beauty, talent, and her character. She was such an exquisite being and was proud to have her in his clan. Sesshomaru also was happy that her kit was in his clan too. His performance was not like his mother's but it showed many endearing qualitys about Shippo.
*FlAsHbAcK*
Shippo entered the meeting room, followed by his servant. All of the youki there turned their eyes upon him and began their inspection of the newcomer.
"May I introduce Lord Shippo of the Great Fire. Lord Shippo is apart of my head general's and will be treated with the respect of a Tashio because he is now officially a Tashio male", spoke Sesshomaru proudly.
Shippo nodded his head and awaited what Sesshomaru would say next.
"Now Lord Shippo show us you Great Fire of Hell", commanded Sesshomaru. Shippo nodded his head and distanced himself from the table. He called out his sword, "Fukyuukaji", yelled Shippo. Instantly there was a huge blast of flame that formed into a great dragon. The dragon twisted turned and increased in size each second it was released. "Narakukaji", Shippo spoke and the dragon spread it's wings as it began to breathe flames form it's mouth. The flames swallowed the illiminated stars and caused the room to become hot just like hell. The dragon roared and continued to create destruction within the meeting room. Suddenly Shippo called the dragon back.
"I am sorry my Lord but that was all that I could show with out harming or killing anyone of the court", stated Shippo.
"Hn. I see Lord Shippo you have amazing skill for someone of your age", complemented Sesshomaru.
"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru."
*EnD oF fLaShBaCk*
Kagome was still dancing and then she swooped the fans like they were blades and the swirling aura and water around her began to follow the paths of the blade. The paths exploded and created a tear in space and time. Creating holes that would absorb anything that they could into their black abysses. A flash of blinding blue light and spiritual energy rushed over the youki's bodys. It caused the most youkis to feel enormous pain, while Sesshomaru felt like he could not move.
What Sesshomaru saw next was unbelieveable. Stars surrounded Kagome as she held her fans and positioned her body to pose elegantly. Next to her was a glowing blue dog entity that was larger than himself in true form. Sesshomaru heard Kagome whisper,"Supiritto-getsuei-ookami." (Spirit of the Moon Wolf)
Sesshomaru's eye became wide, not of fear but out of shear shock. Kagome was able to call upon the spirit that started his clan, an ancient so powerful that even his father did not compare. In order for her to just call the spirit... it must have taken a lot of power. And then to control the spirit with ease, it seemed Kagome's power was unlimited.
(Kagome's Point of View)
Kagome decided that she would show off a little, surely this was not even close to her true potential. 'Well what harm will it do me? I don't think any, if anything it would keep more of my enemies at bay and gain more alliances', thought Kagome. She smiled an thought that she did play her cards right. Sesshomaru was staring at her in awe and shock. All of the other youki were frozen in thier spots or filled with fear. Hey she could not smell it but she sure could sense it miles away.
"My Lord Sesshomaru I present your first anscestor Sipiritto-getsuei-ookami. I hold control over the female only, the male only listens to the one who is my other half."
"And what do you mean by other half Lady Kagome?", spoke only Sesshomaru.
"Well... My Lord Sesshomaru I am the Original Miko. The past, present, and future I am every miko in one body. I cannot be destroyed by mere mortals and neither can my other half. To further explain what my other half is... I would state that they would be the opposite of me. He will be the past, present, and future demons. All in one body and would be able to control any male spirit with ease."
"Do you know who this other half is Lady Kagome?"
"No. He has not found his true power. He must gain all of his powers and die. Then in the passage between the afterlife and living will he receive his true body and become what he really is."
"Hmm... Is their anyway to determine who the lucky male is?"
" Lord Sesshomaru... it is easy... I will fall in love with him."
"So it can be any being?"
"No, it cannot be any being. A strong youki greater than the rest. He will surpass his father without his true powers and bring happiness to his people."
"So he is a Lord then?"
"I believe you can say so, but which Lord is the real question. It can be any Lord from the past, future, and present. Although noting that no past Lords have risen from the dead to become the Original Demon, I would say that the Lord would be in this time period or somewhere in the future."
"I see. Thank you Lady Kagome for your performance, informing us on what being you are, and introducing us to my ancestor Supiritto-getsuei-ookami. It is such a great honor to have you in my clan and as a general."
Kagome bowed, "Thank you Lord Sesshomaru for your compliment."
"You may sit honorable Lady Kagome."
Kagome bowed and immediately took her seat next to Sesshomaru. ' He smells of moonshine. How did I know that?'
'It is because I the Supiritto-getsuei-ookami am serving you and will give you my powers at will.'
'I wish to thank you. What is your informal name?'
'It would be Clerene my mistress.'
'Clerene I wish to call you so and I am grateful for your service.'
'It is not worth speaking of. You are now apart of my clan and that has given me much honor by its self. Serving you unconditionally is the least I could do for such an honor.'
'You are most humble Clerene'
'Thank you mistress.'
'Hmm... Sesshomaru smells so... amazing... hmm... I wonder if that is his real scent. I guess I will eventually find out. Oh Sesshomaru and Inuyasha will be talking about serious matters in a minute.'
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha speak at the same time, " In the name of the Moon, the stars, the earth, and the heavens above we commence an official meeting!"
And so the meeting began.
To be continued...
