Chapter 5 Acceptance
 
A cold breeze blew past Kagome and InuYasha as InuYasha waited impatiently for Kagome to explain everything to him, taking a deep breath Kagome shifted her weight uncomfortably.
 
“InuYasha… I'm not what I appear to be.” started Kagome she really didn't know how to tell him this, she feared rejection from him she could never handle that kind of rejection from him.
 
“Well get on with it.” InuYasha was getting impatient at Kagomes stalling.
 
“I'm a hanten InuYasha, Akiko the woman with the white hair is my mother.” Kagome watched InuYasha's stunned reaction
 
“You decide to tell me this now after all we've been threw! You didn't trust me enough to tell me the truth before only when the truth is staring right in the face!” InuYasha was angry but he didn't know what about was it the fact Kagome never told him or the fact he could never smell the Tenshi on her sent.
 
“That's not it at all InuYasha, how could I tell you if I didn't even know myself. You of all people should understand!” Kagome yelled frustrated she would understand InuYasha's anger if she had known the truth sense the beginning, InuYasha ran his hand threw his hair and began to pace back and forth.
 
“How could this happen to you Kagome? First you were attacked by demon dogs then kidnapped by demon lions and now you're a hanten and that Akiko lady is your mother? How do you know that this Akiko didn`t transform you and change your memories, last time I checked you didn`t even remember me when I saw you last.” InuYasha yelled stupidly his blind rage.
 
“And if my memory serves me correctly which I believe it dose quite well you nearly killed me that last time we met InuYasha!” Kagome shrunk back at InuYasha's words he knew that were true in his stupidity he nearly killed the only person who ever really accepted him from the vary beginning. InuYasha lowered his head and his bangs covered his eyes, Kagome turned her back to him unable to bear his stare and out of frustration Kagome would have bite down on her if it wasn't for the inch long fangs in her mouth, another one of her transformations that didn't show it's self till just recently.
 
“Look Kagome, this is just a little much to take in all at once. How did you end up looking like human anyway?” InuYasha was trying to grip his mind on how Kagome became this way
 
“InuYasha, demons are a fairy tale in the future, people who are different aren't treated vary kindly, if a Hanten came along could you imagine what would happen to it?”
 
“Yes I could.” whispered InuYasha
 
“Akiko gave me to the Higurashi family to protect me. She has a lot of enemies and I was easy pickings for them. My kind have the power to change form InuYasha that's how I looked human and I was that way for so long I forgot I was a Hanten, believe me InuYasha if I did know earlier I would have told you a long time ago.” Kagome searched InuYasha's eyes for him to acknowledge her explanation
 
“Why didn't you remember me?” asked InuYasha
 
“Sense I was forced back into this form my memory was block for a short time, a side affect.” InuYasha sighed deeply
 
“I just need time to take this in.” Kagome nodded and headed back to the others
 
`This is the real Kagome, she is so beautiful.' InuYasha shook his head and blushed `Get a hold of your self InuYasha she's a Hanten, but she is not that different from me, but she still is the same Kagome only her appearance changed she has never judge me I can't judge her.' InuYasha could hear a wolf's howl in the distance, the wind began to pick up, a tornado was approaching Kagome.
 
“Oh no, it's that wimpy wolf again.” Groaned InuYasha
 
“Kagome!” Koga yelled jumping out of his tornado he took Kagome's hand in his
 
“Kagome you're my woman, and I love you no matter what breed you are.” A sudden punch from InuYasha sent Koga fly
 
“Well if it isn't mutt-face again, can't you see Kagome and I are made for each other?” Koga stood proud InuYasha glared and him
 
“Why you… Kagome is not some prize, I won't stand by and have you disgrace her honor!” InuYasha growled, normally Kagome would be angry with InuYasha for acting so jealous
 
`He's acting like normal he really doesn't care I'm a hanten.' Thought Kagome
 
“Lesson wolf, you leave or I will make you leave.” Ordered InuYasha his mighty sword ready to strike down Koga
 
“It's obvious I can't talk to you Kagome with that mutt-face around, fare-well Kagome.” And with a dirt cloud of dust behind him Koga left
 
“Oh…. InuYasha.” Sobbed Kagome, Kagome hugged him tenderly, InuYasha blushed as shock etched on his face
 
“I was so scared you would hate me for what I am.” Sobbed Kagome, the shock wore off and InuYasha hugged Kagome back
 
“Oh Kagome I could never hate you.” Sango and Miroku flew over head on Kirara; InuYasha was so determined to find Kagome he lost them in the forest
 
“InuYasha, Kagome?” called Miroku, they landed and slowly approached Kagome
 
“Kagome do you remember us?” asked Sango
 
“Yes Sango I remember everything.”
 
“Excellent, all that's left is to lift the spell on Kagome.” Said Miroku, Kagome looked guilty
 
“There is something I must tell you.” Said Kagome, she took nearly a full hour to explain everything again
 
“Interesting, so you where a hanten this whole time and didn't know about it.” Said Miroku
 
“I thought Angels were a demon legend I never thought they existed.” Said Sango, Kirara sitting on her lap Akiko and Mori approached Kagome.
 
“What is Akiko?” Kagome hadn't got use to calling her mom yet.
 
“There are two villages one in the north and the other in the south these villages are protected by my orbs but the orbs are starting to fail I was wondering if you would mind going to the north village to give the orb a restart?” Akiko asked
 
“We have more important things to do, like finding the jewel shards.” Grumped InuYasha
 
“I'll do it.” Chirped Kagome,
 
“What about the shards?” argued InuYasha glaring at Kagome
 
“There are shards in the North I'm going.” Kagome argued back
 
“No your not.” Said InuYasha in turn
 
“Sit boy.” InuYasha slammed to the ground
 
“Why did you have to do that?” said InuYasha angrily
 
“How do I fix your orb?” asked Kagome
 
“All you have to do is command it to come to your hands, hold it, obviously and crate one of your orbs while holding it.” Explain Akiko, Kagome nodded, “I would like you Nami with you, just to be safe you never know what might happen.” Said Akiko
 
“I can protect Kagome just fine, we don't need one of your lions slowing us down.” Barked InuYasha pulling himself off the ground
 
“And what a wonderful job you've done too, attacking Kagome, kidnapped by my lions, and let's not forget the wolves. How could I ever doubt your ability to protect her?” Spat Akiko
 
“How dare you! I am not the one that abandoned Kagome.” That last comment struck a cord with Kagome and Akiko
 
“Then don't come InuYasha!” Kagome stormed off, Akiko gave InuYasha a murderous glare before storming off herself.
 
“Why did you do that InuYasha? Even you can see how much that hurts Kagome.” Said Shippo, InuYasha would not look any of them in the eye he knew the mistake he made by making that comment but his pride would not let him admit it. InuYasha jumped off into the bushes with the eyes of his friends watching him.
 
“Perhaps he has gone to apologize to Kagome?” wondered Miroku, Sango and Shippo sweatdropped
 
“No, I doubt that too.” Said Miroku, Kagome was crying under an old tree when Akiko found her, Akiko quietly sat next to her and placed an arm on Kagome's shoulder comforting her.
 
“He had no right to say that, he wasn't there he didn't see how much it hurt you to give me up like you did, he doesn't know the circumstances you had.” Kagome sobbed
 
“Hush child, don't fret over what the boy said, if he knew half of the reasons I had to give you up he couldn't say a thing.” Akiko comforted her daughter she hated to her cry
 
“How did you get to the feudal era?” asked Kagome, she was under the impression that only she and InuYasha could travel threw time.
 
“Our kind have always been able to travel threw time.” Said Akiko trying to explain to her child the fabric of time
 
“You meen all angels?” Kagome asked
 
“No only the Ice Cat Angels can travel threw time, I don't know why it's jus always been that way. You know you don't have to go to the northern village if you don't want to.” Kagome smiled at Akiko
 
“I told you I would go and I always keep my word.” A swell of pride erupted in Akiko's heart her daughter was so strong, brave, and kind she couldn't have asked for anything better in her daughters' personality
 
*~~~*
 
Four hours later, Kagome, Shippo, Miroku, Sango, Nami, and InuYasha traveled north, Akiko told them that the village would not be hard to find just go strait north it's the only village with a giant orb flouting over it.
 
The travelers stopped for the night, under the full moons sky Kagome looked for wood in the surrounding forest, the moons rays made Kagome white hair shimmer giving her an angelic appearance, Kagome caught a whiff of InuYasha's scent he was near by.
 
“Come out InuYasha, I can smell your scent.” Kagome announce annoyed, InuYasha jumped down from one of the surrounding trees
 
“I guess I'm going to have to use to the idea of you having the powers of a demon.” InuYasha voice almost joked with Kagome about her having demon powers
 
“I am an Angel InuYasha not a demon.” Kagome spat
 
“Feh.”
 
“Did you want something InuYasha?” Kagome's tone was bitter and a harsh she still hadn't forgiven InuYasha for what he said the other day
 
“What I said yesterday about your mother abandoning you was mean and I'm sorry for it.” InuYasha face was concealed by his bangs and the shadows, Kagome looked at InuYasha she knew how much it hurt his pride to apologize to her.
 
“Thank you InuYasha, that meens a lot to me.” Kagome sat down on a near by log and InuYasha sat next to her.
 
“You know after my mother died I was still just a kid the village branded me an outcast no one would help me. So I caught fish in a near by stream and found barriers and nuts from the forest until one night a demon killed the cattle of a framer.” Kagome held InuYasha's hand as he told her about the time he was cast out of his home. “They blamed me and later that night the entire town came to my home with pitchforks and torches they were yelling at me I couldn't make out all the words but they called me murderer, freak, deviant, spawn of the devil the list goes on. They started to burn the house I ran into the woods they chased me, I barely stayed ahead of them several times they nearly caught me but I was lucky and managed to out run them. After that night I promised myself I would never be weak again.” InuYasha stared into the moon for some reason it held comfort for him.
 
“Oh InuYasha, you never have to go back there again.” Kagome didn't know what to say to comfort him but she did know that if she stayed with him it would give him some comfort.
 
“We are going to pass threw it tomorrow. At the edge of this forest is the town borders.” Kagome gasped
 
“We don't have to go threw it, we can go around.” InuYasha looked at Kagome and smiled
 
“No, I want them to see how powerful I've become that I'm not weak anymore.” InuYasha stood up proud and strong
 
“We should get back everyone will be looking for us.” Kagome picked us her wood and they walked back to the camp together
 
The next day as the gang near the town InuYasha was born, InuYasha started to lag back but Kagome held his hand letting him know she was right there with him. InuYasha and Kagome entered the town together, the towns' people stared and whispers they had all heard the stories about InuYasha demon that was born in their small town and slaughtered herd of cattle fifty years ago. The leader of the town came up to them he was old over fifty years old, he wore fine clothing and was short, his white hair was tied in a bun, and InuYasha stood infront of Kagome protectively cracking his fingers.
 
“Are the half Demon InuYasha.” He asked
 
“What's in to you?” InuYasha snarled
 
“I wish to you formally apologize to you for our ancestors running you out of town fifty years ago, we have been praying for your return for twenty years.” The entire town bowed to InuYasha, InuYasha crossed his arms looking away blushing lightly
 
“Yea well, forget about it,” InuYasha never expected them to apologize to him he was very grateful for although his pride wouldn't let him show it. Farther down the road was a dim orb flouting just above everyone's head this was the town that her mother set her to help. Kagome walked over the orb looking at it a patron walked over to her.
 
“Four years ago this town was attacked by demons constantly, one day an angel came she said our kindness should not be destroyed so she crated that orb and said it would protect us. However, lately the orb has begun to fade and lose power, the angel said when that happens she will return to fix it but she has not come. She had the same hair, eyes, and tail as you. Tell me are you the Angel Akiko?” he said the man was in his mid forties with salt and pepper hair
 
“No,” Kagome could see the sorrow in the mans' eyes when she said that, “But she did sent me, I'm her daughter Kagome.” The mans' eyes lit up
 
“It's an honor to meet you Lady Kagome.” Kagome nodded, holding out her hands the orb slowly flouted into them Kagome made her orbs and her orbs were absorbed into the larger one soon the orbs former color and shin returned when it was at it's previous glory the orb flouted back up into the sky above the buildings of the village. The town's people gathered around Kagome and the man who told her about the orb announced.
 
“I give you our savor, Lady Kagome, daughter of the Angel Akiko.” The people cheered and had a marvelous fest that lasted all night the leader got up from is table and announced,
 
“To honor the Angels that saved our village every year on this day our village will have a wonderful fest and no one will work may this day be forever known as Hi No Tenshi (day of angels).” Kagome blushed ten shades of red, in the early hours the morning Kagome slipped away from dying party she watched the sun rise at the edge of the town
 
“What are you think about Kagome?” asked InuYasha jumping down next to her
 
“I was just thinking of everything that happened, it take some time and many battles but I believe we can get the jewel back from Naraku. Kagome and InuYasha watched the sunrise.
 
 
The End
 
I know I ended it early but I've run out of ideas for this story I love the idea of Kagome being a Ice cat angel but I don't know what to write so if I ever come up with a good story with lots of ideas I'll make a sequel
