InuYasha Fan Fiction / Fan Fiction ❯ Traveling through Time ❯ The Ancient Warrior ( Chapter 6 )

After storming away from Inuyasha, Kagome felt the sting of tears in her eyes. She sank to the floor outside a room, which had its door shut. `Why does Inuyasha have to be such a jerk?' Kagome felt the flood of tears fall down her face. Suddenly the door to the room that she was sitting next to opened. Kagome jumped and looked up to see if anyone was coming. A young woman with long raven hair like Kagome's was looking down at her. Kagome didn't know what to say to the young woman so she just stared back.

 

The young woman smiled and knelt down next to Kagome. The pink armor that she wore glimmered as her body moved but it was the silver armband on her right arm that caught Kagome's eyes. “So why are you crying?”

 

“My friend Inuyasha is being a jerk.”

 

“Oh, you must be Kagome. Saturn mentioned you when she introduced me to Sango and Miroku.”

 

“Yeah. Umm…who are you if you don't mind me asking?”

 

“I'm the Ancient Warrior Uranus.”

 

“Ancient Warrior?”

 

“Yep. It's a family title. Just like Saturn is technically Princess Saturn.”

 

“Oh.” Kagome looked at the floor feeling stupid for what she said. The Ancient Warrior smiled and stood up extending her hand out to Kagome. Kagome took the Ancient Warrior's hand and stood up.

 

“So Kagome what are you doing here alone?”

 

“Inuyasha and I got into a fight and I stormed away.”

 

“I see. Well if you're not doing anything would you like to accompany me to the village?”

 

“Sure.”

 

“Great, but first we need to get you something.” The Ancient Warrior turned and returned to the room that she just exited minutes before. Kagome peeked into the room noticing lots of glass containers with strange writing on them and scattered papers everywhere. On a table on the other side of the room with piles of books on it there was a small box. The Ancient Warrior opened the box revealing several small silver necklaces. She removed one and tossed it to Kagome. “Wear that. It will help you while we're in the village.”

 

“How?”

 

“You don't speak all the languages of this world. It will help you understand and speak the different languages.”

 

“Oh.” With that they left the castle and wandered into the village. Many people came up to the two young women and talked to them; some offered Kagome gifts. After buying some strange liquids the Ancient Warrior was stopped by a young man.

 

“Hello, Ancient Warrior.”

 

“Hello Eagator. Here to bother your sister again?” Kagome noticed that tone in the Ancient Warrior's voice but decided to keep quiet.

 

“Ancient Warrior you know its time for Swanalow to wed.”

 

“She'll get married when she's ready Eagator.” The Ancient Warrior looked at Eagator with flames in her eyes. Eagator knew that the Ancient Warrior was not pleased at what he was trying to do.

 

“You don't know any better young one. As her brother I know what's best for her.”

 

“Whatever Eagator. Swanalow will tell you the same thing she always tells you.” The Ancient Warrior turned away from Eagator with Kagome quickly following behind her. She turned back and looked at Eagator. “Good day to you King Eagator.” Then continued to walk away.

 

After walking for a while in silence Kagome stopped. “Uranus?”

 

“Please Kagome call me Ancient Warrior.”

 

“Okay. Umm… why does everyone call you young ones?”

 

“Young ones is another way of saying that we're half mortal like you and half immortal like the unicorns.”

 

“So you're a half breed?”

 

“Technically. Yes.”

 

“It must be hard being a half breed.”

 

“How so?”

 

“Well Inuyasha is a half breed and he was hated by both humans and demons growing up.”

 

“Well its different here. As young ones we get a lot of respect from the other creatures of this world.”

 

“Oh.” Kagome felt incredibly stupid and the Ancient Warrior must have noticed this and quickly changed the subject.

 

“So Kagome tell me about you and Inuyasha?” The Ancient Warrior walked over to a near by tree and pulled an apple from the branches.

 

“What about us?” Kagome walked towards the Ancient Warrior and leaned on the tree's trunk.

 

“Well you two came here together, so you must have some type of history.” The Ancient Warrior smirked knowing that wasn't the real reason she asked about Kagome and Inuyasha.

 

“We're just friends. I broke this jewel into tiny little shards and now we're looking for them.”

 

“Oh, so nothing more then friends?” Side glancing Kagome hoping that Kagome wasn't picking up on what she was trying to do.

 

Kagome gave the Ancient Warrior a confused look. “No. Why?”

 

“No reason, it just seems like you are really close by the way you talk. I could be wrong though.” She leaned against the tree. `That was too close.'

 

“Oh.” Kagome suddenly looked sad, but quickly returned a fake smile to her face hoping that the Ancient Warrior wouldn't notice. Yet before either of them could say another word a young man handed the Ancient Warrior a beautiful pink flower.

 

“Hello Icestorm.” The Ancient Warrior lifted the flower to smell it. The young man leaned towards the Ancient Warrior as if he was going to kiss her but was interrupted.

“Icestorm meet Kagome. Kagome this is Icestorm. He's a winter warrior from Winter Island.”

 

Kagome nodded to Icestorm. He bowed to her, “Pleasure to meet you Lady Kagome.” He then turned back to the Ancient Warrior taking her hand and kissing it. “I will see you later my lady.” He then left the smiling Ancient Warrior and blushing Kagome.

 

“Umm…Ancient Warrior?”

 

“Yes Kagome. Icestorm and I are very much in love.” She shifted her eyes to the flower. `I wonder if Kagome realizes that there is something between her and Inuyasha.'

 

“He seems nice.”

 

“Yeah. Lets head back Kagome.” she tossed the apple she had to Kagome and headed back towards the castle. `Starfire is right she does care about Inuyasha, but she doesn't realize it.'
