My Worst and Best Valentine's Day
Chapter 3
Normal POV
"Kagome, will you come out of the bathroom already," Akima sighed, exasperated, outside Kagome's bathroom door.
"No! I don't want you to see me! I don't want you to see me!" came Kagome's muffled, but shrill reply.
"Kagome Elizabeth Higurashi! You get your ass out here right now!" The reaction was immediate. Kagome quickly opened the door and stepped outside of the bathroom.
Akima gasped at the sight before her. There stood Kagome, a good five foot and nine inches, half a foot taller than her previous height.
"You have your fathers' eyes," She whispered. Kagome pushed her hair behind a pointed ear, incredulous.
"You have to be the weirdest person in the entire world! Can't you see that your only daughter has turned into a demon?!"
"We have to have a quick chat, okay." Akima grabbed her daughters' hand and tugged her back to her room. "Kagome, I think you should sit down for this." Kagome did as she was told and waited for her mother to speak. "Okay, where to start. Well, I'll start by saying the obvious. Kagome you're a demon." Kagome rolled her eyes at her mother and nodded. "But you didn't turn into a demon, you always were one." At Kagome's bewildered expression she counted to three. '1…2…3…'
"WHAT!!!" Kagome shrieked, hurting her ears in the process. "What do you mean? Where did I come from? Who are my real parents?!"
"Be quiet. I'm your real mother." Akima huffed.
"But you're human and I'm a full-blooded demon."
Akima smacked her head making Kagome wonder if she had mental issues. "Sorry, I forgot." With that she started chanting while making hand signs (think of Naruto). Kagome watched as Akima was surrounded by a golden glow. When the light subsided, in Akima's place was a beautiful blond demon. Kagome couldn't tell, but she was either a dog demon or wolf demon.
"Ah! What the hell?! Who are you?"
"Who do you think I am? I'm your mother. I'm sure you have many questions."
"Yeah, are Souta and grandpa demons? What kind of demon are you. If I'm a full-blooded demon my father must have been a demon too, what kind of demon was he. Did he really die? Where is he now? Was I born in the Feudal Era? How come--?"
"Kagome please one at a time." Akima said, laughing slightly. "Yes, your brother and grandfather are demons. I'm an arctic wolf demon. Your father was a silver dog demon. No, your father did not die, he's in the Feudal Era, he's the southern Lord, and yes, you were born there."
'So I was born there, and I'm royalty? No wonder it always felt like home.'
"Why are we here?"
Akima smiled, recalling a memory. "It was purely by accident that your father and I found the well. We were madly in love, and desperately wanted a life together, but his father forbade us from mating. He thought me unworthy. It was on one of our nightly walks, the only time we could be together, that we found the well."
"What else happened? Did grandfather ever give permission for the two of you to be mated?"
"Well, it took a while. We stayed here for many years, your father only going back to see if your grandfather changed his mind. Finally, he conceded; just before he died too. Your father thought it would be best for you to grow up here in this time, away from all the brutalities of the Feudal Era," she laughed, "but you ended up back there anyway."
Kagome smiled, absorbing the information with vigor.
"So I'm half wolf and half dog?"
"No."
"What do you mean 'no'? You just told me—"
"Yes, I know that. But you seem to be both full-blooded wolf demon and full-blooded dog demon, because you have all the abilities each species can do. Then there's the fact that you have miko powers. This type of combination should have killed you, but instead they merged together to for one type of power with numerous abilities."
"Oh…now what?"
"Now, we train. I'm going to teach all I know and all that your father knows. That will take another three months."
"All right I'm ready for anything! Don't go easy on me." Kagome exclaimed as she punched the air.
"Don't worry, I don't plan to."
…
Two months later
…
True to her word, Akima did not go easy on her daughter. "Whoa! Hold on a second, mom!" Kagome screeched as she dodged a kick her mother aimed at her head.
"Why should I? You have surpassed me and your father. Why should I slow down for you?" Kagome frowned at her. "Besides," Akima continued. "An enemy won't slow down at your request."
"Whatever. I just want something to eat."
"Alright, let's go make some lunch. I have something to tell you anyway." Together they walked out of the dojo and into the house. "First, let me tell you that you have finished your training."
"But it hasn't been three months yet." Kagome countered.
"I know, but you learned faster than I thought you would."Akima said, as she took out supplies for their lunch.
"Oh. Well, then I guess I'm ready t go back to the Feudal Era then."
"That's another thing I want to talk to you about. I don't think you should tell your friends who you are."
"Huh? Why can't I? I can trust them with anything." She defended.
"I know, but there are going to be many people who are looking for you. They'll try to hurt you, Kagome. I know that you can defend yourself, but I still want you to be safe."
"Alright, mom, I understand."
"Good. Now I know that you have the jewel shards to look for, but I want you to go see your father first. You won't take the throne until you are done your quest though. I don't think you need any distractions."
"Okay. Well, I'll just get my things packed then."
Kagome dashed up the stairs and returned to the kitchen after two minutes. "Yes! I'm ready to go!"
"Here's your lunch, Kagome. Take it with you. Souta, Grandpa, and I will be coming in a couple days."
"Gotcha! Thanks, mom, see you later!"
"Bye, Kagome! Be safe!"
Kagome ran into the well house and stopped at the top of the stairs. She quickly put on a concealment spell and leaped from the steps, into the well.
