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

It had been a month and a half since Megumi brought Kagome to her home and Kagome had still yet to utter one word. Megumi had decided that she would try to pull Kagome from her shell once more. It was her hope that the darkness had not consumed her little one. It was noon when she sat down in front of Kagome.

Megumi spoke in a quiet and calm voice, "Little one it has been long enough that you have not spoken but now you need to. The only way you will be able to move past whatever happened to you is to speak about it. Perhaps it will make you feel better. Please little one I want to help you. It has been a month since I brought you here and you have not even told me your name."

Megumi waited with batted breath hoping her little one would finally speak to her. Kagome let out a loud wail that made Megumi wince a bit at its volume. However once that was done Kagome began to speak rapidly through her sobs. Megumi listened very carefully making sure she did not miss a word. Finally after about two hours Kagome had told Megumi everything that had happened up until the point that she found her.

Kagome fell to sleep after her emotions had been spilled out for Megumi to see. Megumi sighed in relief she still had not learned her little one's name. However she now knew what happened to her and where she came from. Her little one had told her all about her life and what had happened during it for the past three years. If Megumi had her math right that would put her little one at eighteen years old. She had been through so much in her short life.

Carrying her to her bed Megumi covered Kagome with a fur and kissed her on the forehead. Now that she had finally spoken they could move forward. Megumi could tell her little one had great amounts of power but it was untrained. She also felt something else that was deep in her little one's soul that felt demonic in nature. Once her little one awoke she would see if she would still speak and tell her what her name is. Then they would move on from there.
