Summary: Kagome had just come out of the bone eaters well when she finds a wolf-demon cub being attacked by a bird demon. After that day, Kagome is never the same again.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
"There's someone here to see you Kiame." Koga said as Lady Kimi walked into the room.
"You're okay! I was so worried that you were hurt." Kiame said as she ran up to Lady Kimi, hugged her and started crying.
"It's okay Kiame, it's okay." Lady Kimi said as she comforted the demon pup.
"Can I have some time alone with Kiame please?" Lady Kimi said while looking at Koga pleadingly. Koga thought about it for a moment before he answered. "That's fine with me but I do want to ask you a few things afterwards. I'll send someone for you when you're ready." Koga went outside and left the two of them alone.
Kagome's POV
As soon as Koga left Kiame drowned Kagome with questions.
"Who are you? What are you? How did you heal so fast? What was that light in the forest and why do you look different?" Kiame paused to take a breath and Kagome took that chance to talk.
"Slow down Kiame. My name for now is Lady Kimi and I am a white-wolf demon, which is why I can heal quicker than most. Instead of answering the last two questions I want to tell you something. When I was about your age I was told a poem:
When the battle does arise,
She will be gone before our eyes.
She will forget all her ideas,
Until the one she needs appears.
The one who needs her to defend,
Shall be with her until the end.
But when the next battle is near,
She shall be the one that she holds dear.
Just think about that poem for now okay. Was there anything else you wanted to ask?" Kagome said in a voice that a mother would use with her child.
"I just have one more question about your name, what do you mean for now?" Kiame asked with curiosity.
"Good question. That is not my real name because some people who know me need time before they will be able to accept my real name." Kagome explained to the young pup. Kiame seemed to accept that answer as she sat down with a yawn.
"You go the sleep Kiame, you look tired. I'm going to go find Koga." Kagome said as she kissed Kiame on the forehead and went outside.
Normal POV
Lady Kimi went outside and waited until she was sure that Kiame was asleep.
"Okay, that's the second thing out of about a billion things I have to do. Now, let's see what I can do in the next couple of weeks? I can tell the other the truth about my status when they arrive in a few days, and I can go see my favourite childhood friend a few days after that. Of course while I'm doing this I will need to do a lot of training. I'm out of practise from just using a bow and arrow for ages, I need to get out my real weapons and practise with them soon." Lady Kimi said as she took a deep breath and went to find Koga. Lady Kimi already knew her way around the cave because of the many time that Koga had brought Kagome here. As she walked down the halls many of the wolf demons stopped what they were doing and just watched her. Some of the demon's tried to get closer to her but her barrier prevented them. No wolf-demons had tried to get past her barrier for a while so Lady Kimi let her barrier fall. This wasn't her best decision. As soon as the barrier was gone someone put a hand on her shoulder and turned her around. Lady Kimi quickly regained her posture as she heard someone speak.
"So you're supposed to be a white-wolf demon are you? Yeah right, you're just a fake. If you were a real white-wolf demon you would have been able to sense me and stop me before I even touched you." Said a wolf-demon with black hair and a dark brown tail.
"So you don't believe that I'm a white-wolf demon, do you Takiko? If you're that sure of yourself why don't we have a little fight?" Lady Kimi said with a look of excitement on her face.
"How did you know my name? You must have just heard it from someone. And you're on with that challenge. Last one standing wins. Let's do this outside in the open. Follow me." Takiko said as he started walking down the hallway. Lady Kimi just smiled and followed him out of the room.
Kagome's POV
'He thinks he can beat me? Yeah right, but it should be fun to see how much power I have after all these years' Kagome thought as she followed Takiko outside into the open. When Kagome got to the middle of the field she took in her surroundings. In front of her on one side of the cave was a large waterfall which went into a crystal clear lake surrounded by rocks at the bottom. Kagome also saw the cave wall on the side next to the waterfall and the open forest on the other two sides, but she wasn't interested in any of that. All Kagome saw was the clear water of the waterfall and the lake. She walked towards the lake still memorized by its beauty. When she got to the lake Kagome crouched down and put her finger in the water. When she pulled it out of the water she traced her finger in a circle motion a couple of times. The water came out of the water and followed the pattern her finger made with a small strand of water.
"Are we going to fight or not?" Takiko's loud voice interrupted Kagome from her thoughts and the water suddenly fell back into the lake with a soft splash. Kagome was so excited that she had her mother's power that she let a small giggle leave her lips. The water in the lake in front of her started to overflow a bit so she quickly calmed herself down again. Now that she had her mother's power she knew that she would have to be more careful with her emotions around water.
"I'm ready!" Kagome said to Takiko who she was now standing right in front of.
"How did you...? Never mind, let's start." As soon as Takiko said this he jumped forward to hit Kagome only to find her gone. Takiko looked around trying to find where Kagome had gone only to hear her voice.
"Come on, you can do better than that." Kagome teased him from the tree branch that she was standing on. Takiko ran forward and jumped up into the tree next to Kagome's and started attacking. Kagome decided to go on the defensive and just tease him for a bit longer. Takiko would try to hit her but Kagome would just move slightly to the side and miss it. This continued for a few minutes before Takiko finally lost his temper and landed a hit on Kagome.
"Well, well, well, looks like the tiger finally decided to show his claws." Kagome said as she got off the ground and wiped the blood from her lip. "I guess it's time for me to show my claws as well then." Kagome's nails started growing longer and sharper before they stopped only a second later. Kagome ran forward faster than anyone could see before she stopped on the other side of Takiko.
"Was that supposed to hurt, because..." Takiko coughed up a mouthful of blood and before he knew it he fell to the ground.
"But how?" Takiko said as he just lay there with a look of disbelief on his face. Kagome slowly walked up to him and sat down next to him.
"It's a technique of my own which leaves no traces but instead attacks your insides. In this case your arm and leg where I hit you. Do you believe I'm a white-wolf demon now?" Kagome whispered so that only Takiko could hear her. Takiko face was full of fear as he just nodded his head at Kagome. Kagome just let out a deep sigh.
"Since I made this mess I should probably fix it as well." Kagome gently put her finger on Takiko's leg and then his arm before she stood up again. Takiko suddenly felt his body again and sat up slowly. Kagome just gave him a gentle smile as she started walking in the opposite direction.
"I know you're there Koga, so come on out." Kagome said to the trees in front of her. Koga jumped out of the trees and landed in front of her.
"Did you enjoy the fight Koga?" Kagome said with a slight smile.
"Yes but..." Koga started before Kagome cut him off. "Can we talk somewhere private?"
"I guess so." Koga said as she walked off with Koga following her.
Koga's POV
After not too long Lady Kimi stopped at the edge of a cliff and sat down. Koga sat down next to her and just watched her.
'She's amazing' thought Koga, 'the way her long hair glides with the wind and the way her golden eyes light up everything when she smiles. No, focus Koga, you like Kagome, not Lady Kimi'
Lady Kimi let out a small laugh.
"I can read your face very clearly you know, and right now I can see that you're wondering whether to choose Kagome or me." Lady Kimi said as she continued looking out in the distance. Koga was at a loss for words. How had she known exactly what he was thinking, and more importantly how should he respond? Koga kept thinking about this for a while longer before she spoke.
"You need to get over her." Lady Kimi's words struck him like a rock. What did she mean I need to get over her? Did she mean forget about Kagome?
"I didn't mean forget about her completely, I just mean to forget her as a mate. She loves you, but as a brother, not a mate." Lady Kimi said as she looked as Koga.
"She loves me as a brother? I guess I never thought about it like that. But I'm still not going to lose her to that mutt face." Koga said with determination. Lady Kimi just laughed.
"Believe me Koga when I say that you don't have to worry about Inuyasha stealing Kagome away." Lady Kimi said with another laugh.
"How is it that you know everything about me when I have never even seen you before?" Koga said while facing Lady Kimi.
"To tell you the truth, I not only know about just you. I also know everything about Inuyasha, Kagome and the rest of the Inu group." Lady Kimi said as she closed her eyes and smiled.
But how?!" Koga said as he stood up. Lady Kimi stood up carefully and held Koga's hand.
"I understand that you're upset Koga but you need to calm down. I will tell you everything but you'll have to wait till the Inu group gets here." Lady Kimi said while she tried to calm Koga down.
"The Inu group is coming here?"
"Yes but it will take them a couple of days to arrive."
"Won't you tell me anything before they get here?" Koga pleaded.
"I will tell you the same thing I told Kiame:
When the battle does arise,
She will be gone before our eyes.
She will forget all her ideas,
Until the one she needs appears.
The one who needs her to defend,
Shall be with her until the end.
But when the next battle is near,
She shall be the one that she holds dear.
That's all I will tell you. Nothing more nothing less until the Inu group arrives." Lady Kimi said as she stood up and waited for Koga. Koga had no idea what she meant but he knew that it was a bad idea to ask any more. Koga got up and he and Lady Kimi walked back to the cave.
Kagome's POV
Over the next few days Kagome would get up and head out to train first up. She had gotten used to fighting again relatively quickly and had been wearing herself out each day. On the third day Koga was watching her practise when he saw something shine in the light before it was quickly gone again before he could fully see it. Koga ran over to Kagome who had stopped training.
"Was that a sword you were training with just then?" Koga asked as he stopped right in front of Kagome. Kagome thought about it for a moment before she answered.
"How much of my power do you think I used when I was fighting Takiko?" Kagome asked Koga.
"I don't know, about two thirds, why?" Koga asked looking confused.
"Interesting, at the moment I have half of my full power and when I was fighting Takiko I didn't even use a third of it." Kagome smiled as she saw Koga's face.
"You didn't even use a sixth of your full power!" Koga almost yelled "But how?"
"I would love to answer your question, but we're about to have some company." Kagome said as she smelt the Inu group coming closer.
"Should we go inside or just stay out here and wait?" Koga asked when he realized who were coming.
"Let's just wait out here; I want to see their reactions." Kagome said with a smile before she changed into her wolf form and sat down next to Koga. Kagome looked up at Koga with a smile before Koga sat down and started to pat Kagome. Both of the wolf demons felt the Inu group come closer before they saw them enter the clearing.
"Where is she you mangy wolf?" Inuyasha said before he landed in front of Koga.
"If you're talking about Kagome I haven't seen her." Koga said with a smile.
"I'm not talking about Kagome I'm talking about the white wolf." Inuyasha said as his voice got louder.
"If you want to find the white wolf why don't you look in front of yourself?" Koga said as he took a step back to revel a white wolf sitting on the ground. Inuyasha made a dive for the wolf that just jumped out of the way and landed behind him.
"Get it!" Inuyasha shouted to the Inu group who started trying to catch Kagome. Kagome jumped out of the way of Sango's boomerang and landed on a tree branch before her feet were suddenly in the air. Miroku had come up behind her and was now holding Kagome in the air. Miroku looked on in surprise as the wolf he was holding suddenly changed into a wolf demon.
"You masked your presence and came up behind me, how very skilful of you." Kagome said before Miroku dropped her in surprise and Kagome pushed of the branch and landed next to Koga.
"Now that the fun is over I think we should all go inside and talk." Kagome said with a smile as she started walking. Kagome had only gotten a few steps before she suddenly fell to the ground holding her arm tightly.
"I need to get inside quickly Koga." Kagome said as she held her arm in pain. Koga just nodded and picked up Kagome before he motioned for the Inu group to follow him.
