AN: Okay My Disclaimer: I own this story line and the characters that I have created. I do not own Inuyasha. (Except the First two movies and the 1st Season Box Set! . )
Hi, I am Music's Dancing Freak and I am 17 years old…. I don't act like it tho… at least I don't think I do… I do know that I look older then I am…. Lol
I wanted to thank my reviewers for chapter two. I want to thank SexyDemonGirl5000 and BlazingMidnightRain, A.K.A Blaze, for giving me more inspiration to write on. Don't worry I'll try to make the chapters longer, Blaze. Much Love to Everyone! -
On With the Story!
The next morning for the Inuyasha Gang was not as cheerful or as noisy as they were. This made them even more depressed about Kagome's 'death'. Even Inuyasha looked down in the dumps. Everyone was silent, ate their food, packed up, and started to leave to go find shards or leads on who 'killed' Kagome. That was until a girl with green eyes and green highlights showed up in their clearing.
Immediately Inuyasha was on his guard, sword outstretched, "Who the hell are you?"
"I am someone who could give you information on the one who killed the Great Lady Kagome." The girls face showed no emotion, "So it would be wise, Inuyasha, to put down you precious sword. I don't like the taste of human blood… no one from my village does."
As Inuyasha sheathed his sword as Miroku looked at her and asked, "Who is her killer, Milady."
"A Vampire named Kaime Kakamaru, a traitor of my village." Her gaze hardened, "He is a disgrace to my kind everywhere!"
"What about Kagome?" Inuyasha demanded, everyone nodding in agreement.
"Just complete the jewel for her." The girl started to walk away, "My name is Niomi and that is all you need to know."
With that Niomi disappeared and the Inuyasha gang headed off to anywhere they could find.
Kagome was awoken rudely by many noises coming from outside the castle. As she opened her eyes the first thing she noticed was that Niomi was not there. That was until the door opened and closed, reveling Niomi and a kimono in her hand. The kimono was short and black. It had pink sakura blossoms at the bottom of it. Niomi handed the kimono to Kagome. Kagome went behind a shojo changing screen (AN: Don't know if that is right…) and changed into the kimono. She was shocked to see that when she put her arms down that the kimono ended right at the tips of her fingers. Then she remembered that the kimono ended at the same length as her school uniform skirt.
"We have a tough day ahead of us, Kagome, if you are to leave on your own by tomorrow morning or tonight." Niomi smiled as she walked outside, followed by Kagome.
"Okay, Niomi-san. I am ready whenever you are." Kagome was very serious about what was going to be happening this day.
Soon Kagome found Niomi and herself in a place that looked to be a hair salon. Niomi pointed to a chair and Kagome sat down in it.
"We have business here, Lady Kagome, so don't worry yourself. Okay?" Niomi said and Kagome nodded her head in response as a girl walked up.
"So this is the Great Lady Kagome." Stated the girl who had just walked up to them.
She had beautiful blonde hair with pink highlights in it. Her eyes were just as beautiful, an ocean sea blue. It was there in that moment that Kagome realized that all the vampyre's have highlights.
"Nima, here, will put a liquid in your hair. We have to get your highlights out." Niomi smiled.
"Highlights..?" Kagome's head tilted in confusion.
"We all have highlights." Niomi said.
"It brings out our vampyric powers." Nima added.
"Oh, Okay. Well then let's get stated, I guess." Kagome sort of smiled as Nima started to work on Kagome's hair.
It was about an hour later when Kagome was able to look at her hair again. She was amazed at what she saw. Kagome looked at the mirror with wide eyes as she saw newly found bleach white streaks, very tiny, all throughout her hair. To say she liked it was an understatement. She loved her hair. Knowing what they had to do, they said their thanks and left to find a clearing. Somehow or another Niomi had to find a way to train and awaken Kagome's powers. Finding a clearing Niomi lead Kagome to the middle of it. This clearing was beautiful with ankle high grass and wild flowers.
Sitting down Niomi sighed, "You know your eye color might change if we awake you powers."
"It doesn't bother me, Niomi." A smile was set on her face as she, too, sat down.
Kagome didn't care; she just wanted to get it over with. She just wanted to fix the jewel and fix herself.
"Kagome, close your eyes." Niomi instructed, "Listen to my directions, okay?"
"Yep." She closed her eyes.
"Okay, think of a circle with a big black center." Kagome looked as if she was concentrating, "Now when you get that. Think of the black center being consumed by what looks like a fire."
Kagome pictured in her mind a red circle with a pitch black center. Then suddenly the black was overcome by a blazing pink fire. As Kagome stared at the fire in her mind, her body glowed a pure white. Wind was coming from nowhere, just hitting Kagome making her hair fly everywhere.
"Now Kagome, open your eyes." Niomi commanded.
Niomi smiled at the sight she saw before her. Opening her eyes, Kagome smiled, knowing it worked. Helping Kagome up, knowing she must've been tired and weak from meditating for three hours. The fact is that Kagome's eyes were memorizing. Instead of brown they were a fierce gray with little bits of blue flecks in it. All Niomi could do was stare at them.
"What's wrong, Niomi?" Kagome looked confused.
"Huh?" Niomi shook her head, "Nothing Kagome. It is just that your eyes are so beautiful."
"Really?" Smiled Kagome, "Could I see?"
"Yes, let's go back then," Nomi started to walk off, "It'll be lunch soon."
"Lunch?'
"Yes. Then we can pack your things and you can be on your way."
Kagome smiled as they made their way back to town. Even as much as Kagome hated when they bowed to her, there were some bows and some "Lady Kagome"'s. Resisting the urge to hit people, they finally made it to the castle. Right away Niomi was helping pack things for Kagome. Food extra yukata's and a kimono or two, just incase, sewing supplies for when her clothing got ripped and she need ed to fix them, and Niomi also made sure she had everything she needed, all after they ate lunch that is.
"I think you're ready to leave, Kagome." Niomi said, handing Kagome the sack full of everything she needed.
"I think I am." Kagome grinned, "Thank you so much!"
"No Problem." Niomi said receiving a hug from Kagome then watching her leave.
When Niomi left them that day, Inuyasha could have sworn that he smelled a bit of Kagome in her, He wanted to follow her but he wanted to get the jewel fragments as fast as her could now and also find and kill the man who murdered Kagome.
"If she is still alive then I'll find her." Inuyasha silently swore.
"Inuyasha," Sango said, "Lets head out to find this guy."
"Yea, let's go." Inuyasha said pinking up Shippou and setting him on his shoulder.
"Did you smell Kagome on her, too?" Shippou innocently asked Inuyasha very quietly.
All Inuyasha did was nodded.
They all walked silently for awhile and before you know it, the sun was setting.
"We should make camp." Miroku piped up, "We're all tired."
"But!" Inuyasha turned towards Miroku.
"No buts Inuyasha!" Miroku yelled, "If we are to hunt Kaime Kakamaru down then we need our rest."
Morning came quickly for everyone. They made breakfast and left as fast as they could. Wanting to get a good start on tracking down the demon, maybe even getting some shards and clues on Naraku's where-a-bouts.
"It's mid-afternoon and we have got nothing!" Inuyasha threw his hands up in frustration.
"Calm down Inuyasha Miroku consoled to him.
Sango watched the frustration of her fellow companion and sighed. He was right they had nothing to keep going on, they had no choice. All of a sudden Kirara transformed into her demon form and shot off away from the group. This movement shocked the group for a second. Everyone started to run after her when Sango realized where she was headed to.
"Inuyasha, she's headed towards Midoriko's cave!" Inuyasha nodded at Sango then took off faster to get there.
"Ok, Kagome, you can do this by yourself." She told herself, "What was I told in my meditation?"
Kagome kept quiet for awhile while she roamed the woods. For some reason she couldn't remember what she had to do at that moment. Burned so deep in her thoughts she did not see Kikyou show up a few yards in front of her. That was until an arrow flew past her head.
"Are you still trying to kill me Kikyou!?" In a flash Kagome closed the few yards in-between them to only a couple feet.
Kikyou narrowed her eyes at Kagome, "First you steal Inuyasha from me and now you disgrace my soul by getting turned into a vampire!"
"First off, Kikyou, Inuyasha is still deeply in love with you and second I don't want to deal with you!" Kagome went to walk away when Kikyou grabbed Kagome's forearm and sent her purification powers through Kagome's body.
Kagome gritted her teeth as Kikyou's powers attacked her blood. Using her strength Kagome grabbed Kikyou's neck and assaulted her with her own purification powers. Kikyou's eyes widened as Kagome smirked. She knew Kikyou was shocked that she still had her miko powers. Suddenly Kagome remembered one thing she was told to do when she was meditating. She was told that if she wanted to become at least a bit more human she would need her whole soul.
"I don't want to do this Kikyou but, I have to." She sent more purification powers through Kikyou's body cutting off her breathing. "I need my whole soul to become at least a bit human again. Please forgive me Kikyou."
A tear slid down Kagome's cheek as Kikyou's face softened by Kagome sending the last wave of purification into Kikyou, killing her. Kikyou's body turned to ash in Kagome's hand. Staring at the ash falling to the ground Kagome sensed a pretty big piece of the Shikon Jewel. Kikyou had almost one half of the jewel but, masked it with her powers. Kagome added that with her own ten shards of it, successfully making on half, and kept on walking. It was about mid-afternoon when Kagome found herself by the demon slayer's village. Oddly she felt as if Midoriko's cave was calling to her. The feeling got stronger the closer she got to the cave.
When she finally got into the cave the jewel glowed brightly and Midoriko appeared in front of her. The body had a ghostly glow to it.
"My daughter…"Midoriko smiled lightly.
"Mi.. Midoriko..." Kagome stuttered out.
"Kagome, I have a gift for you my daughter." Kagome just looked at Midoriko as she pulled out a sword, a quiver, full of arrows, and a bow, "These are for you. Only someone of my bloodline can use these, my daughter."
"Daughter? What do you mean?" Kagome asked.
"Just what I mean, you'll figure it out when you need to know." And with that Midoriko disappeared. Leaving behind the gifts for Kagome, they magically found there way upon her body.
"Hmmm?" was all that Kagome could say as she made her way out of the cave.
"Hey! You there, what are you doing!" Kagome heard a voice as she made her way fully out of the cave.
No! Was all she thought.
Why did she take off for the cave? Inuyasha thought as he finally saw Kirara land by the cave. Finally!
He saw a women walk out of the cave, she had long black hair with white, almost silver, highlights.
So this is what she was so freaked about. "Hey! You there, what are you doing he demanded.
AN: So sorry about how long it took me to get this chapter up… I was so busy in school I couldn't write any. Then school got out and I started writing again. Then I ran into a whole bunch of drama, getting sidetracked from typing it up on the computer. I apologize, deeply. Forgive me my readers… If I still have any. I was wondering if anyone would still review. I enjoy them. Flamers are semi-welcome. Constructive criticism is loved and people telling me that they enjoy my story will be in my heart.
