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

Sakura and Megumi where both sitting in the dining room once more awaiting Sesshomaru and Kagome for the evening meal they both looked up when they sensed both of them at the door. Kagome entered the room with a scowl firmly in place and rubbing her bottom Sesshomaru right behind her with a self-satisfied smirk on his face. Megumi and Sakura looked at each other in amusement it seemed that Sesshomaru had gotten his payback for Kagome's earlier revenge for her rude wake up call.

Megumi tilted her head curiously at Kagome, "How did your hand to hand training go my little one?"

Kagome took a deep breath to calm herself before she answered. She did not want to snap at her second mother, "Well judging by how much my backside hurts right now I do not think I did very well today."

Sesshomaru scoffed at her but still was wearing that smirk.

Curiosity getting the better of her Sakura looked at her pup, "Well then Sesshomaru why don't you tell us how she did."

Sesshomaru's eyes where dancing with amusement, "Well mother by the time we ended training she had improved a great deal considering she did not want to suffer the consequences of making another mistake."

Kagome growled at him, "He would pop my bottom every time I made a mistake and it was not a gentle pop either! I am sure my bottom is going to be bruised tomorrow!"

Megumi and Sakura's eyes widened at that they could not believe that Sesshomaru had actually done that.

Sesshomaru lifted his nose into the air, "I assume that means you will try harder tomorrow that way you do not have to deal with the consequences."

Kagome let out one more growl before the meal was served. Once they all had their food they ate in silence. After everyone was done Kagome and Sesshomaru excused themselves for the evening. Once they were gone Megumi and Sakura spoke.

Megumi chuckled, "Perhaps there is no need for us to interfere after all my dear friend."

Sakura giggled, "I agree my dear friend it appears that the seed of love has already been planted in those two. We just need to help nurture it to grow and help them along. I never thought I would see the day my pup was finally so happy again."

Megumi sighed and nodded her head, "Kagome is a blessing to us all she can open up even the coldest of people. When the kami sent me the vision about her they did not only tell me that I needed to save a pure soul that they created but they had also shown me visions of her life before. She has been through so much but still maintains a pure heart and soul and continues to hold her innocence and happiness. If I had gone through all that she has I do not believe I could still be as happy as she is."

Sakura sighed with a sad glint in her eyes, "From all you have told me I truly believe that she is to be the savior of our world. She is just so kind and loving. Truly a tainted pure soul if she had been born a demon she would be like most of the other demons out there. A demons only purpose is to become more and more powerful and to seek more power. It is all about ourselves and no one else. Perhaps we will not only be teaching her but learning from her as well."
