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

Their second day of travel was not as easy however. It helped with Kagome's training but Megumi had preferred for her not to learn by action but it seemed that it could not be helped. They had been attacked by five demons throughout the day that had jewel shards. Megumi had to admit though that Kagome was doing well and had very little to no problems at all defeating their enemies.

Besides being attacked and gaining five more jewel shards their day of travel had gone just as the first did. Megumi did not mind and was pleased with Kagome's progress in everything that she was teaching her. It seemed as if Kagome absorbed her every word like a sponge. It would be even more pleasing when she learned everything that Lady Sakura had to teach her. Kagome would be a force to be reckoned with. This she was sure of.

Sure enough early the next morning Megumi grabbed Kagome around the waist. Kagome gasped in shock at first then turned her questioning eyes onto Megumi.

Giving her a reassuring smile Megumi explained, "We will have to use my demonic cloud to reach Lady Sakura's home. They do not call it the castle in the clouds for no reason."

Kagome giggled and nodded her head in understanding. Within moments they were standing in an archway and Kagome heard a woman's squeal of happiness. She spotted a woman headed towards them and gasped. Thinking oh my god she looks just like Sesshomaru except for female and with feeling.

After hellos where said Megumi motion to Kagome, "Lady Sakura I would like you to meet Kagome. I have taken her in as my own and was hoping you could help us with a few things."

Kagome bowed quickly to Lady Sakura and Lady Sakura laughed as she spoke, "Child you do not have to bow to me. If Megumi has taken you in as her own you are family."

Kagome immediately straightened up and gave a timid smile complete with blush. "Oh she is just adorable Megumi where did you ever find her?"

Kagome's dropped in sadness and Megumi sighed. "It is a very long story my dear friend."

Lady Sakura just looked between the two curiously. "Perhaps after you both have freshened up and had some rest we can speak at dinner. How does that sound?"

Megumi nodded and Lady Sakura called a servant to show them to their rooms.
