Chapter 2- Father

"No! No I'm not the Fire Bearer! I don't want to be the Fire Bearer! I'm Kagome! KAGOME!"

Her words were lost as she continued to go through the mirror, absorbing her words and making it harder and harder for her to move or do anything. She screamed one last time before she fell into the mirror, blinding lights surrounding her as she was shot through whatever portal this was. Other objects flew around her as well, white orbs, which she guessed to be other souls.

She cried silently to herself. Finally able to move, she curled into a ball, crying into her knees, not able to control her flight path at this point. She let the unseen force take her wherever it was taking her, giving up on fighting against it. She layed there, for what seemed to be forever, just moving along with being flying past her. Until, something happened.

She screamed, being hit hard from behind, knocked off of whatever had been holding her up, falling downwards. She clung onto something, but she couldn't tell what it was. Finally, she was able to get a good look at it, and it turned out to be a person. A man, actually. He had a single maroon stripe running down each cheek, a blue cresent moon on his forehead, golden eyes and long silver hair. She had seen him somewhere before...

She grunted as her back collided with something, the weight of the man on top of her nearly crushing her as he grunted as well. "What the hell is going on!" his deep voice boomed over the noise of their crash-landing.

Kagome opened her mouth to say something, but didn't have the time as they started to fall again, a flash of blinding light surrounding their bodies, leaving them falling again. She clung to him tighter, and he just pulled back and looked down at her, before he started to dissapear. Her eyes widened as she saw his arms dissapear, then his shoulders, and so on. "You're dissapearing!" she cried to him, her hands loosing grip as his entire middle body dissapeared.

"So are you!" he yelled back, and she realized that he was right. Her middle was gone, and it was spreading down her legs and up towards her arms. She began to scream again, until her mouth was gone, and she couldn't make any noise. So she just cried, until her eyes were gone, and she couldn't cry. And then... all of her was gone.

-------

"Ughhhh..." Kagome groaned as her eyes slowly opened. What the hell had happened? She felt like she had the worst hangover the world had ever seen. Had all that just been a dream?

She opened her eyes and looked around, only to find a very real situation. She was in a shrine, with wallscrolls, burning inscents, a broken vase, and a naked male lying next to her.

-------

InuYasha came running as fast as he could to Miroku and Sango, standing in the middle of the road and staring wide eyed at the shrine at the top of the village. "Did you see it?" he called as he neared them, Sesshomaru making his was as well.

"Yeah, we did!" they called back. "What was it?"

"What the hell do you think!" InuYasha yelled as he made his way past them, smiling and laughing lightly. "It's Kagome!" he yelled happily as he made his way, Sesshomaru passing them as well.

Sango gasped, dropping the basket she had been carrying and looking up at him. "Do you really think..." she couldn't finish as tears started to fill her eyes.

"There's only one way to find out," Miroku said, grabbing her hand and taking off for the shrine as well.

They reached it a good minute after InuYasha and Sesshomaru, a few villagers braving to come up the stairs of the shrine themselves. They panted lightly, stopping to catch their breathes as they walked up to InuYasha and Sesshomaru. They noticed the door still closed and stood there, confused at what InuYasha and Sesshomaru were doing. "You know your supposed to open the door, right?" Miroku asked, looking between them and the door, reaching out to open it.

"Stop," Sesshomaru said stiffly, raising a hand to Miroku, still looking at the door. "Someone's in there."

"It's Kagome!" Sango cried, reaching forward to open the door herself, only to be stopped by Sesshomaru again.

"No," InuYasha said as he started to growl. "Someone else."

Miroky and Sango looked exchanged a quick glance before looking back at them. "Do you think it's..." her voice trailed off, afraid to continue.

"No, don't worry," InuYasha said, shaking his head. "It's not him."

She sighed lightly, and let her muscles relax abit. "Good," she said. "But we still don't know who it is."

Sesshomaru sniffed a few more times before freezing. A confused look came over his face before he sniffed a few more times, his nose scrunching. "What is it?" Miroku asked confused.

"That scent... it's familiar..." he said, his voice trailing off lightly.

"How familiar?" he asked, unsure as to what he was getting at.

"Very... but it's.. different now," he told them. "It almost smells like-"

He stopped talking as they heard someone groan inside. InuYasha growled and drew Tetsuiga, ready to attack. "I don't care who it is!" he yelled. "They're dead!"

"Inu-" Miroku reached forward to stop him, but he was through the door and out of reach before he could grasp anything but air.

He had his sword raised high above his head, ready to bring it down on the body of whoever was in there. He froze as his eyes caught the sight before him. Kagome lay there, starch naked on the floor, groaning and looking at something behind her. But it wasn't really her anymore. At least, it was still her face, still her body, only with a few changes, inlcuding her scent. On top of her head, lay two triangular ears, black, with white strips running down them. Her hair also had white stripes running through it, standing out strongly against the deep black. Coming out of the shoulder blades on her back were two red wings, small, but still strong looking enough to carry her for a while over the ground.

Another person groaned, and InuYasha jumped lightly, turning towards the body behind Kagome. A figure slowly rose, muscular and fit, the body large in stature. Long white and black stripedhair parted to show two wings, the same as Kagome's, along its shoulder blades and two triangular ears perched atop its head. As it slowly stood up,the figure quickly revealed itselfto be a man.

"Stay where you are!" InuYasha cried as the others finally joined him.

"Save it, InuYasha," Sesshomaru said calmly, placing his hand on his brother's forearm, lowering it a bit.

He looked up at him in confusion, about to open his mouth before Sesshomaru nodded his head back towards the male. InuYasha slowly turned his head towards the man, watching as the hair fell out of his face, to show a maroon stripe running down each cheek, and a blue crescent moon on his forehead.

-------

Kagome watched the scene in front of her. She groaned lightly as she looked at the 4 people near the entrance, seeing the shadows of a few others lurking behind them past the doorway. Her mind raced lightly as she slowly, shakily got to her feet. Where the hell was she? Who the hell were these people? And why was she naked?

She gasped lightly, looking down at herself, realizing for the first time that she really was naked. She jumped, covering herself as well as she could, and pressing herself tight against the wall of the shrine, watching the others intently. Her eyes scanned every one of them, before looking at the man before her.

He was the same man as earlier, the one she saw in that... whatever it had been. Portal, she guessed you could call it. But he was different, with wings, dog ears, and red flecked eyes. Then she saw that he was naked.

Her eyes widened as she gasped again, pressing herself farther against the wall. She took a sharp breath through her teeth as she felt pain shoot through her shoulder blades. Then she felt something feathery pressed against her back. Her eyes were lost, almost looking far away as she looked over her shoulder, afraid of what she might see.

She gasped as she saw two red wings portruding from her back, pressed up against the wall. They were exactly like the man's, just big enough to carry her weight for a short distance, probably. She blinked rapidly, not sure if she was really seeing this. They flapped once, then twice, then three times, and she suddenly felt very tired again.

Kagome's eyes rolled back, and her leg's buckled under her as she fell towards the ground. The man jumped forward, catching her before her body before it hit the ground. He lifted her up, carrying her limp body bridal style.

-------

InuYasha's eyes widened and he almost dropped his sword, his body lurching forward lightly as he saw the man before him, the eyes looking back at him just as intently, gold with red flecks. "Like I said," Sesshomaru started. "It almost smells like father."
