Lady Frozen Rose: *looks around then sighs in relief* you're going to learn something very interesting in this chapter.
Sesshomaru: And what is that my lady?
Lady Frozen Rose: *recovering from shock* they have to read to find out
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters; I do however own the plot and an oc that will be introduced in two chapters. My oc's role will be explained a little bit in this chapter.
""Speaking
'Thought
'That was weird. I never expected her to be traveling with Lord Sesshomaru. That's it; I have to talk to her.' Koga thought and decided to find Kagome.
Meanwhile, back at the clearing, everyone keeps asking Kagome why Koga just left like that and why (although they weren't complaining) he left his shards. She in a confused state said "I'm as confused as you. Anyways, let's pack up."
They start to pack up and Sango eventually stands to stretch. When she does, she sees something coming towards them.
"Do you see that whirlwind and where are we going, Kagome-chan?"
Everyone looked up only to find Koga asking Kagome if they could talk. Kagome asked him what he wanted to talk about. He asked if they could talk in private and she agreed, becoming more confused and curious. So they went a little ways into the forest while everyone else finished packing and cleaning.
"Kagome, why are you traveling with Lord Sesshomaru?" Koga asked, kind of confused.
"Because Koga, Inuyasha and I had started arguing a lot and when he called me weak, like he always does, I was just done. Done with him and being compared to Kikyo and being called weak all the time. So I left and unplanned, joined Lord Sesshomaru" she said getting angry but calming down a little at the end.
"Oh and traveling with his brother is better and/or different?"
"Well yea, actually, it is. Heh heh," Kagome answered a little nervously. "Now, let's get back to the group and oh, if you see Inuyasha, tell him to stop following us."
"First, tell me how it's better and different."
"Okay. Well, he doesn't call me weak, stupid or useless. He gave me time to work on my skills as a miko and get better as an archer. He taught me how to fight with a sword and he's letting me borrow this book, which I'd like to finish reading. There's a little bit more and I feel like it's very important."
"Okay, thank you Kagome, for telling me all of this. I notice you don't have a sword of your own. Also, I can see you care for Sesshomaru; I hope you'll be happy with him."
"I… what? Yea, I do need a sword of my own so we're going to see Totosai. And thank you Koga. I don't know about caring for Sesshomaru though, I still don't really know him."
"You just don't see it yet but the way you were, when you were describing how he treats you, you sounded happy."
"O-oh, well alright. I… I should get back. Things to get done."
"Yea, take care Kagome." Koga said and left while she returned to the group.
"So, what did you guys talk about?" Sango asked.
"Honestly, nothing, he just wanted to know why I'm traveling with Sesshomaru," Kagome said.
"Is that all you told him? You guys were gone a while." Sango said.
"He also asked how traveling with Sesshomaru is better and different. So I answered that as well."
"Okay."
"He also reminded me about something. Sesshomaru-sama" Kagome said walking over to him.
"Hn" he responded.
Kagome huffed at that. "We need to see Totosai and have a sword forged for me."
"I have already taken care of that, Kagome."
"What? How? When?" Kagome asked.
"During the months we were at the castle. I gave him one of my fangs. Now, you just need to put your power into it." He said, handing her a long, not too long, wrapped package.
She took it, unwrapped it and admired the design. Sakura blossoms and the sign for his house adorned the sheath and handle. The blade itself was of course expertly crafted and had a sakura blossom and crescent moon engraved in it.
"Thank you Sesshomaru-sama." Kagome said and bowed to show her thanks. She then got into her meditative state, the sword lying across her lap and focused on it. The sword glowed pink, then blue and finally purple to show that miko and blade had become synced. (The blade glowed pink for demonic power and blue for her miko. Purple to show that her powers became unified and she was synced with her sword. She has come into her true self, no one has noticed yet)
Sango watched and asked why Kagome needed a sword. Sesshomaru answered, it was because he taught her the art of the sword. He explained that he taught her because she asked to learn. Sango then said something that made him truly speechless.
"You care for her, don't you, Sesshomaru-sama?" Sango said.
Sesshomaru simply sat, thinking, while Kagome picked up the book and finished reading. What she learned left her in shock. She learned that there was one other miko, not related to Kikyo and Kaede, but this miko was friends with them. This miko was supposed to protect the Shikon No Tama Miko but was killed the day before Kikyo received the jewel. Kagome gasps after reading this and everyone asks her what's wrong.
"Nothing, I'll tell you guys later. Let's just stay here one more day. I should get to know my sword after all." Kagome says.
Everyone agrees and they go to sleep. Kagome wakes up early the next morning and makes herself breakfast. She then starts working with her sword. She starts off by going over all the forms she learned. Then she practices with her sword charged.
While she's busy practicing her sword forms, everyone else wakes up. Sesshomaru was already awake when she woke up. While everyone is preparing for the day, Kagome, with her sword charged, learns she has two attacks. She tries them out and is amazed by what she can do.
She first tries out an attack that goes from blue to pink energy and looks like a flower blooming into a crescent moon. When it becomes the crescent moon, it slices through what it's attacking. This attack is called Sakura's Crescent. Right as she unleashes it, Sesshomaru walks up to her; the attack slices a tree in the distance (she's in a field near Inuyasha Forest).
"You've gotten stronger" he says, surprising her.
"Sesshomaru-sama, I didn't know you were awake" Kagome says.
"Hn. I've been awake since before you woke up. Do you have a second attack?" he asks.
"I don't know" she says, as a boar demon attacks.
Kagome immediately charges her sword, swirling with blue energy. Before she attacks, she tells Sesshomaru to move.
"SAKURA'S BLOSSOM!" Kagome shouts, and slices down through the air. This creates a blue blossom that closes up around the boar demon, purifying him in an instant.
"I guess I did" Kagome says, turning to Sesshomaru.
"Hn"
They return to camp and Kagome tells everyone to pack up. Sango asks why and Kagome says they're going to the bone-eater's well. So they pack up and head to the well. Unknowingly, Inuyasha had been following them. When they get to the well, Kagome stopped, turned towards the forest and screamed "INUYASHA STOP FOLLOWING US! YOU AND I ARE OVER SO (STRESSED OUT THESE LAST WORDS) L-E-A-V-E M-E A-L-O-N-E!"
Then she turns to everyone and says "I just need to do one other thing." She then chanted something and the well glowed blue for a moment. Then she jumps into the well and everyone follows her.
Kagome's era:
When everyone got out of the well, Kagome was asked why they were there. Kagome said it was because there are two shards here and don't ask how they got here because I don't know. After that, they headed into the house.
"Mom, I'm home!" shouted Kagome.
Gin turned around and hugged her daughter. When her mom hugged her, Kagome noticed the presence of one of the shards. She looked around and found it in her mom's ear (the way an earring would look).
"I didn't know you got your ear pierced, mom."
"What are you talking about Kagome?"
Kagome then reached to her mom's right ear and gently removed the shard.
"This is what I was talking about, mom."
"Oh, I never noticed it before, Kagome dear."
"Oh, ok well thanks. I'm going to go out around the town, see you later mom."
She then hurried out the door and showed the gang what she had found. Then they were all like oh, so this is why we came here and Kagome just smiled. Sesshomaru then took her aside and started asking her questions about her time, and how/why two shards were in her time.
"Well, to answer questions about this time, it's easier to show you around and show things to you. Unfortunately, we don't have that kind of time. How two shards are here, well I don't have an answer for that yet. Anything else?"
"Why don't we have time for us to learn about this time period? Also, you're really pretty and I hope there's time to get to know you more."
Kagome blushes at his compliment and says "Thank you, I also hope there's time to get to know you more. Why we don't have time for all of you to learn about this time period, I have a feeling my friend I'm taking you all to meet can answer that."
Lady Frozen Rose: wow, this got really long. Longest chapter so far
Kagome: Hey, when are Sesshou and I going to get a chapter to ourselves?
Lady Frozen Rose: Sesshou? And when, next chapter for a bit.
Sesshomaru: very good. Readers review while the lady thinks. She has to rework the next couple chapters.
