Genkai’s Daughter

Chapter 1: As Time Passes

A few months after young Kagome’s birth her mark’s became more prominent. They covered her entire back and over her upper arms, above and below her breast. Or at least where they would be. The marking’s ended right above her belly button. Genkai couldn’t translate it since it was of course in ancient demon language. Very few demons could speak and understand it, none the less read it. But she had a friend of hers translate it for her. She was shocked at what she had found out about her little girls destiny. Kagome was a beautiful girl and she didn’t deserve the pain that would come to her in the future. She had turned out to be a very quiet child, not making to much noise or waking her up in the middle of the night.

She’d already proved to be a powerful little girl. She practically obliterated the demons that had tried to attack and the few that had managed to survive had been destroyed easily by genkai. It seemed that little Kagome had inherited her mother’s psychic and spiritual abilities. ‘When she gets older I’ll teach her. I’ll teach her to defend, to protect.’

~!~5 Year’s Later~!~

A cute little girl could be seen picking flowers in the front of an ancient, large shrine. Cotton candy pink and black streaked hair fell around her small shoulders and billowed in the wind. Her bright golden eye’s with blue specks gleamed in happiness and joy. She was wearing a white and pink fighting haori that was decorated with small magenta sakura blossoms. To anyone who was passing by they would see an innocent, human child with an odd hair color and even odder eyes.

The little girl stopped suddenly and her head turned sharply to the south. Her pointed ears twitched and her nose twitching madly trying to pick up a scent that didn’t belong. She found none. Worried, she ran towards her mother a pink haired, brown haired woman that was standing a little way to the side also facing the south.

“Stay here Kagome.” Genkai said as she darted off to kill the disturbance. Kagome nodded and returned to the temple so as not to trouble her mother with unnecessary worries. When Genkai returned to the shrine she found her daughter in the library reading one of her many books. She smiled as she saw her daughters face twist in confusion at something she was reading. Her daughter was very intelligent.

“Okaasan?” Kagome called to her mother looking up with curious eyes.

“Yes Kagome?”

“What does ma-ma-mat-ing mean?” She inquired innocently.

Genkai coughed into her hand to hide her blush at her daughters innocent question.

“Nothing you have to worry about right now, dear.” Genkai told the curious 5 year old.

“Okay Okaasan.” Kagome replied shrugging it off and continued on with her reading simply skipping the part of Youkai Mating. The next part was that of Youkai Adoption.

“Okaasan...Is this what Chichi-ue would have done had that bad youkai not killed him?” Kagome asked softly pointing to a detailed page with pictures and instructions of the adoption ceremony concerning youkai.

Genkai nodded a saddened expression decorating her features as she looked at the open book in Kagome’s lap. She knew that Kagome missed her ‘Chichi-ue’ even if he wasn’t her real Otousan.

~!~Flashback~!~

A beaming 4 year old Kagome was tightening the obi on her pretty white and red kimono for her adoption ceremony. She couldn’t wait to really be Ryu-Otousan’s daughter. Ryu and her Okaasan ahd been married for a year. Ryu was a slightly older dragon youkai with light brown hair that was turning a slight gray and had bright twinkling green eyes.

Ryu had left one hour previous to prepare for the ceremony in the heart of the forests that surrounded the shrine. Genkai and Kagome suddenly felt a rise in power and dashed off hoping they would be in time to help Ryu. However the sight that greeted there eyes was one that would haunt them for the rest of their lives. Ryu was there all right; in pieces. What was left of his body lay scattered over the clearing, blood drenching the ground. Only one thing proved that someone had done it on purpose and that was the message written in Ryu’s blood on the only clear spot in the clearing.

“No one takes what’s mine.”

~!~End Flashback~!~

Kagome ripped Genkai from her thoughts, calling her, shaking her almost frantically. After all her mother wasn’t responding to her calls so she assumed the worst.

“’Kaasan? What’s wrong Okaasan?” Kagome asked worried for her mother.

“Everything.” Genkai said absently then looked at Kagome’s bewildered face and corrected her previous statement.

“Nothing, darling.”

“Okay Okaasan!” Kagome chirped then proceeded to find another book off the huge shelves that adorned all the walls of their large library. Already at her young age she had an extreme love for knowledge, especially history and mythology, legends and folklore.

~!~Genkai’s Pov~!~

My sweet little darling, you shouldn’t have to live secluded from the world, in solitude. But for some reason you seem to like it much more then interacting with other children your age. I know how the other children treat you, just because your different, just because you have pink hair and gold eyes. I can see how even their parents treat you differently. You were never once brought down by their atrocious gestures, teasing, laughing, dirty looks, but I can see it’s beginning to take it’s toll on your young innocent heart. You don’t understand why they do it.

You never knew your father and for that I am truly thankful. But you have no father at all. Not even a step father anymore, now that he’s dead. I wish that I could give you so much more. I wish that I could give you the life that you deserve, a chance to be normal. But I guess normalcy is something that you’ll never get to have. We will start your training when you reach your 7th year, not before then. I’d rather have you enjoy your childhood no matter how short it is, my dear Kagome.

~!~10 Year’s Later~!~

A now matured and very beautiful, not to mention talented Kagome walked down the street from her school. She was used to the looks that she got, the people talking behind her back, but the thing that hurt the most was the fact that they didn’t even take the time to get to know her before the judged her and labeled her as an outcast. ‘Human’s are so judgmental.’ Kagome thought to herself.

Kagome sighed as the wind played with her loose, pink hair, she still had black streaks through the bottom half of her hair. Unknown to her were the two pairs of eyes watching her, belonging to the two Taguro brothers. They were watching the young teenager, waiting, watching and biding their time. Kagome shivered. ‘I’m being watched.’ was her only thought as she dashed the rest of the way to the shrine.

In an hour she had completed her homework and was on her way to the training room where she sensed her mother. As she walked in she caught the small dagger that came flying at her like it was an everyday thing, which it was. For her at least.

She had always secretly wondered what her father was like, what he did and where he was. Genkai only gave her his name and what he was a youkai. Kagome and Genkai trained until 7:30 PM and then she went to bathe, eat dinner, read, sleep a very normal routine that Kagome followed day to day. She usually went out to the garden to read and relax. But of course there were occasionally demons that attacked the shrine, then they disrupted her ‘schedule’. Either that or she was with Kuronue and Sesshoumaru. But they were in Makai until the thing with Reikai died down.

She’d met Kuronue before Sesshoumaru and was much closer to him then anyone else in the world. He was a handsome bat youkai that specialized in shadow attacks and the scythe. His long mid-thigh length, raven hair rivaled hers in silkiness. He had deep violet eyes that seemed to be cold to most other people but revealed emotions to her. She had saved him when she was 10, he had been mortally wounded and Kagome tended to his wounds and moved him back to the shrine. That was the beginning of a beautiful friendship between the two.

Sesshoumaru, King of Makai was an odd one. He had sought her and Genkai out in Ningenkai. He wished to see the bearer of the prophecy of the Shikon no Tama and came upon them. He had a pleasant surprise to see a beautiful and fully trained woman. It took him a while to open up to her during their training sessions. But they did eventually warm up to each other.

Recently a young man named Yusuke had come by to get training from Genkai. He came by for a full 6 months for training and then his training was practically complete except for the Spirit Wave technique. Kagome had perfected her spirit wave when she was 11. He was one of the only friends that she had, but he never came back. She shouldn’t have trusted him.

Kagome delivered a few swift, fast kicks that were extremely strong showing her true heritage. She sent out various violet spirit orbs that killed demons instantly at touch. Right now there were 20 demons attacking the shrine and it was her responsibility to dispose of the vile scum. She had taken down 11 of them so far. She wanted it over quickly so she used her ‘shotgun’ attack killing 7 more leaving two. She threw two small kunai at the remaining two that were coated with the venom of a King Cobra, it killed them instantly. She sighed quietly and removed her cloak and mask before sprinting back to the shrine. She wanted to soak in the bath before going to sleep.
