Desert Rose
Chapter 2
Atemu watched as Kagome walked away from Inutaisho. The Prince looked upset and mad at himself. He wondered what happened between them. At that moment he wanted to do nothing more then whisk the Japanese angel away to Egypt.
"So, how do you like the garden?" Kagome asked in Egyptian as she walked up to Atemu. Mahado stood beside him dutifully as they looked around. Isis and Mana were looking at all the pretty flowers. Marik was following them with crossed arms.
"It is like nothing we have ever seen in Egypt..." Atemu replied. "Such plants...do you know which each does?" Kagome nodded.
"We harvest some of these plants because they have medicinal properties." Kagome replied. Mahado seemed to be taking it all in as they began to follow Isis and Mana.
Mana poked her head through a bush and blinked as she saw red eyes. She screamed and fell backwards onto her butt. Isis knelt beside her as Mahado and Atemu rushed to their side.
"Demon!" Mana said as she pointed to the bush. Kagome took an arrow out from her quiver as Inutaisho rushed up behind her.
"What's going on?" He asked in Japanese.
"The little one saw a demon..." Kagome explained as she pulled the bush aside with her arrow ready.
"Mew!" The creature said and jumped onto Kagome's head.
"It's just Kirara...." Inutaisho said with a sigh. He mumbled something like stupid Egyptians.
"A cat?" Marik blinked as he strode over. "She got scared because of a cat?" Kagome giggled.
"This is Kirara, she belongs to my teacher Midoriko." She explained in Egyptian. "She likes to sleep in the garden during the day."
"Oh..." Mana said hiding behind Mahado. "Does she bite?"
"No..." Kagome said with a small smile. She grabbed Kirara and held her out to Mana. "She's very playful."
"Go on Mana, let the cat sniff you..." Mahado said. He pulled Mana out from behind him and held her in front of him. Kirara blinked up at Mana then looked at Kagome.
"It's alright Mana, you don't have to if you do not wish." Kagome said. She brought Kirara closer to her chest and smiled as the cat purred.
"May I try?" Atemu said stepping forward. His entourage looked at him as Kagome nodded. She held Kirara out again and smiled. Kirara looked at Atemu with her big red eyes and blinked. "Hello there kitten...." He slowly held out his hand. Kirara leaned toward it and sniffed it delicately.
"I hope she bites him." Inutaisho said in Japanese in a huff. Kagome glared at him then returned her eyes to Kirara.
Kirara jumped from Kagome's hands into Atemu's hair, just behind his head ornament.
"Oh dear..." Isis murmured. Kagome laughed and smiled.
“I think she likes him!” Inutaisho huffed at that and crossed his arms. Atemu smiled. “Come now Kirara…” Kagome whistled. Kirara jumped to Kagome and settled onto her shoulder. She giggled as Kirara licked her cheek.
“She is an unusual looking feline…” Marik said putting a finger out to poke Kirara. In turn the small cat, hissed and snapped at Marik’s finger. He promptly snatched his hand back as the cat glared at him. "Fiesty too!"
"Kirara!" A voice shouted. Everyone looked up to see a boy with blonde hair and brown eyes run into the garden. Kagome giggled as the boy started murmuring as Inutaisho rolled his eyes.
"Who's that?" Atemu asked.
"That's Jounouchi!" Kagome said smiling. "He is a warrior and my friend. I found him hurt in the woods, he was attacked by wolves. I saved him and he's been with me ever since." Atemu smiled as Kagome waved over the blonde haired boy.
"Ah! There she is!" Jounouchi said. He ran over to the group and picked up the small kitten from Kagome. "I was wondering where she ran off to!"
"Jou-kun..." Kagome smiled. "Calm down and great our guests..." She waved toward the Egyptians. Jounouchi blushed and nodded. He bowed to them politely and surprisingly, spoke in Egyptian.
"Welcome to Japan, I hope you have a nice stay here." He said as he stood up straight.
"Jou-kun, would you like to stay with us?" Kagome asked.
"But, my chores..." Jou said in Egyptian still. "I'll be in trouble again..."
Kagome waved her hand. "I'll take full responsiblity, do not worry." She smiled. "You need to have some fun too you know."
Atemu watched the exchange and smiled. She had such a big heart. He wondered about her being. She had the feel of an Egyptian but yet...she was pure Japanese in her ways.
"You're majesty..." Mahado asked. Atemu waved him off.
"It's nothing." He replied. Jounouchi looked at the young pharaoh and raised an eyebrow. Atemu looked at Jou, "Yes?"
"Do you have a name?" Jou asked. All the Egyptians became quiet. Jounouchi frowned and looked at Kagome, before speaking in Japanese. "Did I offend them?"
"I don't know..." Kagome turned to them. "I apologize if he offended you, but we did not know that such a --"
"Don't apologize Kagome." Inutaisho said. "Let them be pissy about whatever the kid said."
"But..."
"He's right Kagome..." Midoriko said as she walked up to them. Kirara jumped from Jounouchi's arm and ran to her master. Midoriko picked up the kitten and walked to Atemu. She switched to Egyptian as she spoke. "You're name is forbidden isn't it?"
Mahado glared at Midoriko as he stood up next to his prince. Atemu nodded. The elder woman frown and sighed. "If we call you Pharaoh, we might mix you up with your father..."
"Perhaps a nickname...?" Isis suggested.
"Yea! A nickname!" Mana said with a smile. Marik rolled his eyes and bopped Mana's head.
"But what?" He said. Midoriko smiled at them as she turned to Kagome.
"How about letting little Kagome decide?" Midoriko said. Kagome blinked. "Give the young shadow master a nickname Kagome-chan."
Kagome bit her lip and looked at Atemu. Her eyes caught sight of a shadow just behind him, which scared her slightly. She moved toward Inutaisho a bit as she murmured. "Yami...Yami-kun..." She said.
Midoriko smiled. So Kagome could see the shadow, that she felt. She clapped as Kirara crawled to her shoulder. "How about that? Yami-kun seems like a fine name."
"What does it mean?" Mahado asked. The young priest felt odd as the older woman smiled at him. He was almost as tall as her too. Mahado looked down then back at Midoriko.
"It means shadow in Japanese." She answer with a smile. "So how about it?"
Atemu was silent for a bit. "I see no problem with it..." He frowned a bit as Kagome suddenly became frightened of him. It seemed to have faded now.
"Yami-kun! Yami-kun!" Mana said giggled. Kagome smiled as Isis laughed. Marik bopped Mana's head again and glared.
"Grow up..." He murmured as Mana held her head. Kagome shook her head and looked at Jounouchi who looked bored. Inutaisho was still beside her with a calm expression.
Getting an idea, Kagome turned to her teacher. "Midoriko-sensei, may I change into my other clothes now?" The older miko nodded and looked up and waved over a servant, who had a bundle of clothes with them.
"Stay close, I want you to change behind the trees." She commanded. Kagome nodded and went behind the trees, the servant following. The Egyptians looked on in curiousity as Inutaisho shook his head.
"They act as if they've never seen a miko before."
"They haven't..." Midoriko replied. "All they have are priests, women are considered underlings and below men in Egypt."
Atemu jumped when he heard a growl. He turned to see the Japanese Prince glaring at the older woman. He wondered what the problem was.
"Saa...Saa...calm down Inutaisho-sama." Jounouchi said. Inutaisho glared slightly at Jounouchi and turned his head away. Jou sweat dropped. 'Only Kagome can make him smile and behave...' He reminded himself.
"Hey...girl are you done?" Marik asked going toward the tree. Everyone blinked as he got a slipper to this face.
"Stupid, don't you know not to sneak up to a girl?" Kagome asked coming out from behind the tree. "It's perverted to try to see a girl when she's changing. You pervert." She handed the bundle that was her previous outfit to the servant and bowed her thanks. The servant smiled and walked away as Kagome went to the group.
Isis's and Mana's jaws dropped as they looked at Kagome. "Beautiful..." They murmured. Atemu felt himself blush as he looked at Kagome. Her hair was twisted up with two chopsticks as she wore a traditional kimono. It was a cream color with blue, gold, and lavender floral designs all over it. Her sash was a golden color as her slippers were another shade of cream.
"You're gawking..." Midoriko whispered to Atemu. The young Pharaoh blushed more before losing his previously opened mouth and shaking his head.
"This is a change..." He said.
"Yes, why did she wear that over sized clothing before?" Mahado asked.
"Those clothes are ceremonious and we use them to greet our guests. Otherwise, we were what we like." Midoriko explained. They turned to see Kagome talking with everyone. Soon Jou said something causing Kagome to slap his arm. Jounouchi laughed and ran off with Kagome and Mana chasing after him talking about 'how girls aren't cowards'.
Isis and Marik were laughing as Inutaisho shook his head. "I'm sure you'll enough your stay here." Midoriko said as she turned the Pharaoh and his loyal Priest. "It is promising to be an exciting too..." She smiled innocently before heading toward the scene to save the poor servant boy. Midoriko's words left both the young pharaoh and priest wondering what was in story for them during their stay.
----
A few weeks later, the Pharaoh and his son as well as their company were still in Japan. It seems the Egyptians and the Japanese rulers were having difficults in their agreements. Not that it mind to the younger generations. In that time, both Midoriko and Kagome taught the Egyptians Japanese as well as teach young Inutaisho Egyptian. It proved amusing with Inutaisho since he kept being paranoid and thinking the others were talking about him.
Atemu, or Yami as he is now being refered as, was walking down the hall with his priest Mahado as his side. Isis and Mana were with Marik exploring the castle with Jounouchi, who was asked by Kagome to make sure they don't get lost while she was with Midoriko. Yami began to wonder what Kagome did with Midoriko and decided to find out.
"You're majesty I don't think we should be walking the halls unassisted." Mahado said beside him.
"You worry too much Mahado. Look there's the garden...Kagome said she would be there with her teacher, so let us find them." Yami said.
As they walked into the garden they were greeted by a strange sight. They quickly stood in the shadows of the garden an watched. Kagome was standing with Midoriko in front of her. Her hands were in front of her in a prayer. Kirara layed among the rim of the fountain looking on lazily.
"Concentrate on it Kagome." Midoriko said in a stern voice. Her facial expression and stance was totally different from that in front of people. She looked harsh and her posture echoed the coldness shone in her eyes. "Focus on your target and attack without a weapon!"
A small intake of breath was heard as Kagome's body began to glow. The wind began to rise around her as her ponytail whipped around. Her hands shook as she slowly brought them apart. A small white orb of energy appeared in between, slowly getting bigger.
"Attack!" Midoriko commanded. Yami and Mahado watched as Kagome gasped as she released the orb. It flew off, but not into the target's eyes. It crashed into the far area of the garden destroying a couple trees.
Kagome's body dropped to the ground. Yami stepped forward but Mahado held him back shaking his head. Midoriko rushed to Kagome and knelt down.
"My dear, is the poison from a few nights again still in you?" She asked gently, contradicting her attitude a few minutes ago.
Kagome looked up weakly and smiled. "It would seem. I'm fine though really."
"I sense no danger from the venom..." Midoriko said as she passed a hand in front of Kagome's body. Standing, the older woman looked down at Kagome. "I'm leaving Kirara here with you. I don't want you to move. If you wish, have Kirara transform and lay against her."
"Where are you going Sensei?" Kagome asked.
"I'm going to make a remedy real quick. I don't understand why you would be so weak still." Midoriko replied with concern. "Kirara!" The small neko quickly raced over. "If anything should happen bring Kagome inside to my room." The nekomata nodded. Kagome frowned and watched as the older miko left.
"So Kirara, I guess it's just you and me till Midoriko comes back." The kitten mewed in response. "She didn't say I couldn't practice." Kagome smiled as her hands glowed slightly. She waved her hands around each other slightly. The lavener glow left trails that soon turned into sprites dancing in the air. Kagome smiled at the sprites.
Yami and Mahado watched as Kagome continued to make and reform her power to allow it to dance around her. "It's magnificent." Yami whispered.
"These woman are light wielders, they are opposite of us." Mahado speculated. "From what I learned in our session with them. They are called mikos, they purify demons and evil spirits."
"Interesting..."
"Kirara..." Kagome called. The neko looked up. "Transform for me will you?" She asked. Kirara smiled and nodded. In a spiral of flames, the kitten grew into her bigger form. Kagome smiled and reformed her power and made a bunch of fireflies. Kirara swatted at them as they flew around over head.
Suddenly, Kagome's fireflies dispersed as the power fell to the ground in sparkles. Kirara turned and rushed to Kagome, who had collapsed to the ground. The kitten nudged Kagome with her nose, before mewing. She didn't understand what happened. She heard footsteps and growled as she stood over Kagome protecting the girl.
"Kirara..." Yami said. "Kagome might be hurt..." The cat's growl's lessened as she slowly backed away. Yami knelt down as Mahado stood beside him. He put a hand to her head and cursed in Egyptian.
"Your Majesty?" Mahado asked. Yami picked up Kagome and looked at Mahado.
"She's got a fever, we have to get her to Midoriko." He said. Mahado nodded and looked at Kirara who reverted to her smaller form.
"Take us to your mistress..." Mahado said. Kirara nodded and ran off into the castle. Yami and Mahado followed quickly.
---
Midoriko's head snapped up as she quickly went to her door and opened it. She looked down the hall seeing Kirara running toward her. "Kirara? Where's Kagome--" She saw the Egyptian Prince and his Priest round the corner with Kagome in his arms. "Quickly, inside!" She said. She closed the door after they entered. "Lay her on my bed." She quickly went to the bowls that were beside a small wooden chest.
"What are you doing?" Mahado asked as his Prince laid the young girl on the bed.
"I'm making a remedy for her. If you want to help give me that vial on the dresser." Midoriko said as she grinding the herbs together. Mahado nodded and grabbed the vial. He noticed how it glowed slightly as he handed it to Midoriko.
"What is that?" Mahado asked.
"It's holy water that was blessed by a summoner, miko, priest, and ancient beings." Midoriko replied as she glanced over to her pupil. Kagome was sweating and panting. Yami was trying to cool her off with a cool rag he got from the bowl she had set up next to her bedding. She looked down at her work. Opening the vial, she poured it all into the grinded up herbs. Midoriko then stirred them together.
"Will this help her?" Yami asked from the bedding.
"It will, she will just need to rest for a few hours." Midoriko said as she got up and walked to Kagome with the bowl. She knelt down and put a hand to Kagome's head. It glowed briefly, before she pulled it away.
Kagome's eyes lifted slightly. "Se-sensei?" Yami looked at Kagome and noticed her eyes were blank.
"Kagome, you need to drink the remedy...do you think you can manage?" Midoriko asked.
"What wrong with her eyes?" Yami asked.
"I brought her consciousness forward, that's all." Midoriko leaned down and whispered to Kagome, not letting the Egyptian's hear. Kagome nodded and took the bowl that held the remedy and began to drink it. Yami watched as Kagome put the bowl down and laid back. She began to close her eyes without another word. "We should let her rest...she'll be back to normal in no time."

She quickly went to the bowls that were beside a small wooden chest.
"What are you doing?" Mahado asked as his Prince laid the young girl on the bed.
"I'm making a remedy for her. If you want to help give me that vial on the dresser." Midoriko said as she grinding the herbs together. Mahado nodded and grabbed the vial. He noticed how it glowed slightly as he handed it to Midoriko.
"What is that?" Mahado asked.
"It's holy water that was blessed by a summoner, miko, priest, and ancient beings." Midoriko replied as she glanced over to her pupil. Kagome was sweating and panting. Yami was trying to cool her off with a cool rag he got from the bowl she had set up next to her bedding. She looked down at her work. Opening the vial, she poured it all into the grinded up herbs. Midoriko then stirred them together.
"Will this help her?" Yami asked from the bedding.
"It will, she will just need to rest for a few hours." Midoriko said as she got up and walked to Kagome with the bowl. She knelt down and put a hand to Kagome's head. It glowed briefly, before she pulled it away.
Kagome's eyes lifted slightly. "Se-sensei?" Yami looked at Kagome and noticed her eyes were blank.
"Kagome, you need to drink the remedy...do you think you can manage?" Midoriko asked.
"What wrong with her eyes?" Yami asked.
"I brought her consciousness forward, that's all." Midoriko leaned down and whispered to Kagome, not letting the Egyptian's hear. Kagome nodded and took the bowl that held the remedy and began to drink it. Yami watched as Kagome put the bowl down and laid back. She began to close her eyes without another word. "We should let her rest...she'll be back to normal in no time."
