I'm getting sleepy, I have a huge test tomorrow, and It's almost my bedtime. (12:00). Well I will try my best. Hope you guys enjoy, please read and review.
When Kagome woke up the sun was just barely coming over the horizon. She stood and stretched, then woke Shippou. She hunted for them and after their fire was put out they continued towards Kaede's village. When they entered Inuyasha's forest Shippo finally realized where they were going.
"Kaa-san?" Shippo asked from Kagome's shoulder.
"Hmm?" Kagome asked as she kept walking.
"Why are we going to Kaede's village?"
"We're not baby, we're going to the Bone Eater's Well." Kagome answered. She felt his aura change from one of curiosity to one of excitement and confusion. She couldn't help but smile to herself.
"Why are we going there kaa-san?"
"Because baby I need to talk to my mother about some things, and you're going to come with me."
"But I thought only you and Inuyasha could go throught the well." Shippo said confused.
"That's what I thought too, but my inneryoukai seems to know more about it than I do." Kagome said as they reached the clearing housing the Bone Eater's Well. She walked up to the old well that connected this time with hers. She smiled down into it's depths before looking back up to Shippo.
"You ready?" She asked.
"Hai." Shippo said and he clung tighter to her shoulder. Kagome smiled and hopped up onto the lip of the well. She pulled Shippo into her arms and jumped down. They were soon enveloped in colors of red, blue, white, pink, and black. Then just as soon as it came, the colors went and they touched down into the bottom of the well on her side. 500 years in the future. Kagome could hear the cars flying by on the highway from inside the well. She had never been able to do that before. Her and Shippo climbed out and walked out of the well house. Both stopped short when the smells of the future hit them. Shippo thought they were horrible, but Kagome who had never been able to smell things like a youkai before couldn't stand it at all. They ran into the house holding their breath and didn't let it out until the door was shut firmly behind them.
"Father? Is that you?" A voice called from the kitchen.
"No mom, it's me. And I've brought a guest." Kagome called to her mother. The elderly woman came into the hallway from the kitchen and stopped short when she saw her daughter.
"Oh Kagome. It's so good to have you home again." She said enveloping Kagome in a hug. When she pulled back she noticed Shippo trying to hide behind Kagome's leg.
"And who is this adorable little child?" Kagome's mother asked.
"His name is Shippo and he's my son." Kagome said.
"Son!" Kagome's mom asked surprised.
"Not like that mom. I adopted him some years back. He's also a kitsune." Kagome said walking further into the house. Shippo stayed glued to the spot.
"Oh? A fox youkai, I never would have guessed. He looks so strong." Kagome's mom said.
"Mom, where's gramps and Souta?" Kagome asked finally realizing her brother and grandfather were missing.
"They went out about an hour ago to do some shopping for me. They'll be home any minute."
"Ummm, excuse me...what's your name?" Shippo asked and Kagome's mother turned to look at him.
"My name is Furuka, but since you're Kagome's son you can just call me Auntie if you'd like." Furuka said with a warm smile. Shippo smiled back and nodded.
"Okay."
"Shippou why don't you go up to my room and lay down on my bed. You can find it on your own right?" Kagome asked.
"Hai kaa-san, I can smell where your scent is strongest." Shippo said as he walked over to Kagome.
"Good, can you please go up there and stay until I come get you?" Kagome asked.
"Hai, but why?" Shippo asked.
"Because I need to ask my mom some questions."
"Okay." Shippo said before running towards the stairs then he was gone.
"What is it you want to ask me Kagome?" Furuka asked as she went into the living room and sat down on the couch.
"Mom, am I a youkai?" Kagome asked, deciding to get right down to the point. Furuka's eyes widened before going back to normal.
"W-What has you asking such nonsense? Of course you're not a youkai."
"Mom, I need to know. Am I a youkai?" Kagome asked again in a serious tone. She heard her mother sigh before she answered.
"Hai, you are. You are a silver inuyoukai to be exact."
Kagome had to sit down at this information. She really was a youkai, an inuyoukai at that.
"Wait a second, if I'm a youki doesn't that mean Souta's one as well?" Kagome asked slightly confused.
"No, he's human." Furuka said.
"But then-" Kagome started, but was cut off.
"He's human, just like I am, just like my father is, and just like my husband was before he died."
"But then how?"
"Kagome, sweetie what I'm about to tell you may be hard for you to hear, but know that it's the truth and we still love you and will always think of you as one of our own." Furuka said and all Kagome could do was nod in response.
"Kagome, your not originally from this time. About 18 years ago I found you inside the wellhouse. I was walking home from work one night when I heard a baby crying. I went into the wellhouse and heard it was coming from inside the well. I looked down and there you were. Wrapped in a dark blue blanket with a note tucked inside the folds." Furuka said.
"I'm not from this time? I'm not your daughter?" Kagome asked.
"Your not, and no sweetie, your not."
"What did the note say?" Kagome asked. She was surprisingly okay with the fact that she wasn't actually her 'mom's' daughter. She always had a feeling like she was out of place whens he was in this time, even before she fell down the well on her 15th birthday.
"It was a note from your parents I'm guessing. I still have it if you'd like to read it." Furuka said standing up and going over to the table in the corner. She opened one of the drawers and pulled out a piece of parchment, then handed it to Kagome. She unrolled it and started reading.
"To whoever finds our precious bundle;
Please keep our daughter safe, our house is at war and it is not safe for her to be here in our time. She is a proud member of the silver inuyoukai of our family in the East, but she can't know this until she is of age. Please keep her safe for us, until she can return to us on her own. Her name is Kagome, and she has an important destiny laid out for her.
-Lord and Lady of the Eastern Lands."
Kagome couldn't believe it. Not only was she a youkai, but she was also the daughter of the Lord and Lady of the East.
'Is this true?'
'Hai, it is.'
'Why didn't you tell me?'
'Because, you needed to find out on your own.'
'How come no one in the fuedal era ever recognized me?'
'One they all thought you to be human, two no one knows the Lady of the East was a miko turned demon when she mated, and three no one knew the Lord and Lady of the East had an heir except for their enemies at the time. And they have been dealt with.'
'If they had been dealt with then why didn't the Lord and Lady of the East try to find me?'
'They did, but they could not pass through the well like you could.'
'And my destiny?'
'Part of it was for you to become the Shikon Miko, and you have done that.'
'The other?'
'The other is for you to rid the world of the Shikon no Tama and Naraku, then take over the Eastern Lands with a mate by your side.'
'The first part I already planned on, but the second...rule over lands that I just found out were mine by birthright? That can't go over well.'
'We will deal with it when the time comes. For now we must deal with the Shikon no Tama and Naraku.'
'Okay.'
"Kagome are you okay?" Furuka asked.
"I'm fine, why?" Kagome asked.
"You're eyes, they changed color...alot."
"They did?" Kagome asked surprised.
"Hai. They changed from blue-gray to cerulean blue." Furuka said.
'I wonder why they did that?'
'I know why.'
'Why?'
"There! They did it again." Furuka exclaimed.
"Oh, I know why. It must happen when I talk to my inneryoukai." Kagome said.
"Kagome, is that all you wanted to know?" Furuka asked.
"Hai." Kagome said standing up.
"Kagome remember what I said before I told you the truth. We'll still think of you as our Kagome, so don't think you don't have people who care about you."
"Does Souta and Gramps already know the truth about me?" Kagome asked.
"Hai. They've known for a while now."
Kagome walked over to Furuka and gave her a hug.
"Thanks for everything. And don't worry, I know you guys still love me." Kagome said, then went up to her room to check on Shippo. They'd stay the night, then leave in the morning.
'Are you going to tell our son about what we learned?'
'Not until we're back in our time.'
'Which time is that?'
"The Feudal Era."
Kagome said with a sigh before walking into her room. Shippo was asleep on her bed. She smiled before crawling in the bed with him. She pulled him to her chest and closed her eyes. Today she had woken up as a demon, now she's going to bed as Kagome, the lost daughter of the Lord and Lady of the Eastern Lands. She sighed again before falling asleep.
