To Taint A Pure Soul

by Kira Hatake

There are two sides to every soul a tainted black side and a pure white side. Kagome is the purest being alive but after the well is destroyed in a battle and she can no longer return to her family in the future. Then the betrayal of those she called her friends and family from the past. Stranded with no one to turn to will the darkness that resides in every soul overcome our dear

A rustle in the bushes brought Kagome out of her thoughts and she began to panic. She had no way to protect herself from any attack and she senesced a demonic aura. She waited with baited breath to see if she would be attacked and killed. It would not be a shock after the day before. A woman came out of the forest and her eyes immediately landed on Kagome. Kagome could tell by the woman's aura that she was not human but she felt nothing malicious from her.

The woman rushed over to her, "Oh my, what happened to you? Are you okay young one?"

Kagome could only stare at the woman that now sat in front of her as she fretted over her. "Come child I will take care of you." The woman helped her to her feet and led her away from the place her life had been destroyed.

Staring at the young girl the woman spoke once more, "My name is Megumi child. Would you at least tell me your name?"

Kagome just stared ahead of her to where Megumi was leading her. Seeing that she would not speak as of yet Megumi decided that she would just call her little one until she decided to tell her what her name was.

Megumi was thinking about what lead her to stumble upon the little one in the first place. A Kami had come to her telling her that there was someone she needed to find. They needed her help and that once she found them she would no longer feel a pull on her soul. Once found she was to treat her as if she was her own kit. After that the Kami had left saying no more. She no longer felt the pull when she found this little one.

She could feel the power rolling off of the little one in waves. It also did not pass her notice that the little one that was now in her care was clutching a bit of fur and cloth that smelled like her but held a completely different sent as well. Maybe once she had calmed down some and became comfortable with her she would tell her what happened to her and what her name was.

She did not know how long her little one had been laying there but it could not have been too long. However she knew that she needed to get her fed, bathed, and changed into some clean clothing. She would have to hunt tonight and make sure her little one was fed and got some rest. She did not have any clothes with her so the bath and clean clothes would have to wait until they made it to her home. Thankfully her home was not too far off they would reach it by nightfall the next day.

Mind made up she searched for a place to hide her little one so she could hunt for food. Finding a suitable place she hides Kagome, "I will return shortly little one I am going to hunt for some food for us."

Turning her back she set off on the hunt. In the meantime Kagome had been it a trance she did not understand why this woman was helping her. She was still mourning her lost family and kit but she had calmed down considerably from what she had been. Now she just felt broken.
