Chapter 3

Kagome's POV:

I nodded shyly, waiting for The Inu no Taisho to explain. He waved me over to the table, I immediately got up and joined him, pouring some tea for myself after his nod of approval. He smile kindly, waiting for me to finish before being his explanation, "When my sons banished So'ounga to hell and I appeared before them, I attached a piece of my sub-conscience to each of my swords. And in doing so I became quite clear to the goings on of both of my sons and their respective companies. When you were approached by Naraku this last time I paid close attention, as did you, when he spoke of not being there to fight. When he began to chant I immediately recognized the spell as black magic. I sent panic through Tetsusaiga into Inuyasha but I was too late. Then I felt you beginning to enter into this realm and rushed to your location. When I found you, you were still unconscious. I brought you back here to protect you but also for a different reason." He stopped then and looked at me, allowing me to process everything.

I still had questions but two were at the forefront of my mind, "Where am I? And what do you want with me?"

He gave me a looked that said he wasn't gonna believe any of my bullshit, "You already know where you are."

I grimaced at that. I had an idea of where I was but somehow didn't want to truly believe it, "This place looks really pretty and peaceful to be the underworld."

He chuckled at my observation, "That, my dear, is because you are in the King's castle. He quite enjoys beautiful things and his peace and quiet."

I sat in shock at that news. Not only had he confirmed that I was indeed in Hell, but that we were both currently inside the King of Hell's home. "And he is okay with my being here?" I asked hesitantly.

The late lord nodded his head, "Yes he is very interested in what I have planned for you."

I looked at him calculatingly, trying to decipher what he could possible mean by that, "And what exactly do you have planned for me?"

He calmly sipped his tea, "Do you know how I acquired So'ounga?"

I started at the seeming subject change, "No, my lord, I asked Tottosai, Myoga and Saya but none of them knew where the sword came from."

He nodded expecting that answer, "It was entrusted to me by its original owner when she needed it hidden away."

"She?" I inquired.

He chuckled, "Yes she! So'ounga is a weapon of Hell. Only a being of heaven can wield it properly. She was such a being, as are you."

I physically started back away from him at that, "I..I think you have the wrong person. I'm not a be..being of heaven."

"You are a Miko, are you not?" He asked calmly.

"Ye..yes but that's.." He cut me off.

"Then you are a heavenly being. She was a Miko, too. I believe you have heard of her. She was known as the original Shikon Miko, Midoriko." He was almost smirking at my dumb struck look.

I shook myself out of my stupor, "Of course I have heard of her."

"Good! That should make things a bit easier." He smiled.

"But what exactly does she have to do with me?" I asked, not understanding it all.

"With you being Midoriko's reincarnation, you should be able to wield So'ounga." He stated knowingly.

"Wait, wait, wait. I thought I was Kikyo's reincarnation. Or am I both?" I was thoroughly confused now.

"You are Midoriko's reincarnation but not that woman's that my youngest is so infatuated with. The jewel was with her for quite some time and simply remembers her. That golem is just an imitation of what the jewel remembers of that child. The fact that you look so similar is merely a coincidence." He explained.

"Oh!" was the only answer I could manage. I took in all that was thrust before me carefully. Thinking through it all before realizing a particular piece of information, "You want ME to wield So'ounga? ARE YOU INSANE?" I was now officially panicking.

The inuyoukai winced at my volume, "Please, my dear, calm yourself. Yes I want you wield So'ounga. I believe you to be the only one capable."

Calming down was the furthest thing from my mind. He actually wanted me to wield the sword of hell. He couldn't be serious.
