A life I can't even live is what I have to deal with... - Chapter 13: One's True Self

Kagome lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling above her. She wore a black halter with blue jean bell bottoms. Her halter had little fake jewels right under her breast line and also around the opening for her kneck. Also, the bottom of her shirt was rippled, as that it showed her belly button. Her pants had slashed in them to show parts of her thighs. The miko rarely got to wear regular clothes, so she saw this as a treat. Then, she rarely wore black, but when she did, she wasn't in a chitty chatty mood.

A frown was plastered on her pale face as her mind raced with every thought about one person. One person who destroyed her world. One person who chose the dead over the living. One person who broke her heart in two. One person who tricked her right under her own nose. That one person she loved--use to love: Inuyasha.

She hated to think of his betrail. He said he would protect her, but it was all just a lie. All of it utter lies of the heart. Of the cold, twisted, black heart was more like it. Kagome thought. Describes Inuyasha perfectly. She shook her head as she swung her legs over the side of the bed. Just the thought of even seeing him made her want to cower. That man had her heart in his hands, and he squashed it in less than five minutes.

Kagome slowly walked down the upstairs hallway. All of the family was dead. They didn't know what she was going through. If they did know, they'd probably kick Inuyasha's ass to hell themselves. Kagome walked into her grandfather's room and saw how old-fashioned it was. She shook her head and smiled. "Now, where are his speel scrolls. They've got to be around here somewhere...?" Kagome dug trough her grandfather's mountains of papers. When she couldn't find the right one, she huffed. Where the hell was it!?

Digging through another pile of papers, Kagome saw a small book. The book didn't have a title, but many papers were sticking out of it. As curious as she was, Kagome openned it. Kagome then decided her grandfather wasn't on the neat side. Kagome looked through the book and gasped. There were names of all of her family members in there. Their names were in blood and there was a spell scroll was glued under each name on each page. Kagome fliped near the middle of the book and saw her name written in blood as well. She ripped the scroll off of her page and also another scroll off her page. When she turned the page, more scroll were placed under her name. She tore all of them off and threw the book across the room.

Kagome stood up and felt her heart lift slightly. What's happening to me? What's the feeling I have? Suddenly, a white burst of light surrounded her and filled the whole room, perhaps the whole house. Kagome levivtated above the floor and spun around slowly, unconcsious. Her raven black hair began to grow rapidly and traded it's dark locks for a dark, blood red, slightly brown. On her cheeks appeared 2 sets of magenta streaks. In seconds, Sesshoumaru appeared with a worried expression. Kagome began to plunge to the ground, as Sesshoumaru caught her. He gave her a stared at her and carried her bridal style to her room.

~*~Kagome's Dream~*~

"Where am I? Where is this place?" Kagome looked around franticly and shivered. It looked like a swamp ground while fog covered the gounds. The ground was damp and Kagome heard people coming. She looked around and saw her hair flash in front of her. She grabed it and saw it to be a crimsonish color. Her fingers were turned into claws and Kagome gave her fingers a weird expression.

"You are in a dreamland at the moment, Kagome. I'm here to talk you." A woman with short red hair and a black circle with a star in the middle said smiling. She had a kind smile and sapphire white eyes. Kagome looked hard at the woman and gasped. Could she be...?

"Moma?!" Kagome almost yelled and threw herself at the woman. She missed her mother so much, and here she was. It was all just a fearie tale, and Kagome never wanted it end; even if it did break her heart at some moments in time.

"Oh! Kagome!" Her mother laughed and hugged her. "I'm glad to see you, too! I was hoping I would see you soon." Her mother smiled at her warmly and stroked her daugher's back in circles.

"Moma... Why do I look like this? I didn't exactly look like this before?" Kagome pulled away and stared at her mother. What was she becoming? What was this new person in hers soul that made her feel complete?

"Remember your grandfather's spells?" Her mother asked Kagome.

"The ones that never, ever, ever worked, you mean?" Kagome grinned and looked at her mother's clothes. They were red with a black trim. Also, the shirt has little black disigns on it. It was very pretty, and Kagome guessed it was pure silk.

"If he heard you, he'd be furious!" He mother laughed again, like tinkling bells. "Anyway, whenever a Higurashi is born, your grandfather casts a spell on them. He writes their name in blood to seal the blood and uses spell scroll to trap whatever inside. For us, it is everything in our youkai herataige. Such appearance, sences, abilities, scent, the whole works. When a Higurashi dies, the spell is broken and the Higurashi is turned full demon." Her mother stopped and looked at Kagome. "Do you understand?"

"Yes. Truely, there's just one more question."

"Ask away, Kagome. We don't have much more time." Her mother reminded her.

"Whose my father?" Kagome asked tilting her head.

"Go to the Feudal Era and travel to meet the Southern Lord. Tell him Megumi sent you and you want to know where you are from." Suddenly, everything started to swirl into one. her mouth's torso disappeared and fog of the swamp became invisible. Her little dreamworld was disappearing, and Kagome was waking up.

~*~End Dream~*~

Kagome slowly openned her eyes to see Sesshoumaru towering over her. She blinked a few times to see if this was real or not. "Why did I have to wake up now? I liked my pity dream where my mother was talking to me. Damn it, why!?" Kagome muttered to herself as she put her arm over her eyes as she slowly stood.

"You talked to your mother in your dream?" Sesshoumaru asked, backing up as Kagome stood.

"That's not improtant. What's important at the moment is for me to talk to someone other than a Modern Japanese." Kagome slowly walked to her personal bathroom and ate an advil. She walked back to Sesshoumaru and smiled. She then turned her back and walked out of her door and down the stairs. Sesshoumaru was close behind her on each step. Going into the living room, she found a hairband and put her crimson blood red hair into a high pony tail. Reaching the well, she looked to Sesshoumaru. "My last name is Higurashi, Sesshoumaru."

Sesshoumaru remained silent and nodded his head for her to continue. "Now, tell me the last name of the Southern Lord."

Sesshoumaru's eyes slightly widened. "Higurashi."

"So, Megumi better be right when she said about him. Who knows what will happen." Kagome jumped through the well along with Sesshoumaru's around her waist. Blue swirls of light in a black sky flickered as they passed through time. Once they were in the Fuedal Time, Kagome smiled. "Lets see what kind of powers I have." She jumped up and into the sky and landed on the ground. Sesshoumaru did just the same. She looked to the village and smiled. "I want to go to the village first. Maybe I can piss off Inuyasha enough to make him suffer dier consiqenses."

Kagome sighed with sadness and began to walked into the village. She could already smell Inuyasha; including his arougance.

~*~With Sango~*~

Sango waited in Kaede's hut. It'd been forever since she's saw Kagome. Forever. Forever. The wordechoed in her head like a broken record (not invented yet, but like I give a shit! ^.~). Already beeen said, maybe not wanting to be heard, but it was there. Annoying, sickening, threatining, whatever you called it, it made her want to cry, so she did. Sango often cryed with Shipo to sleep at night, crying out the words, "Come back Kagome."

"Sango, don't cry. Kagome will be here soon." Shippo said tugging as Sango's long green skirt. Sango looked at Shippo with red cheeks and tear filled eyes. He was hurting, too, but he knew Kagome was coming.

"How do you know, Shippo? She's still with Sesshoumaru, you know that."

"No, Sango! I smelled her! She's coming right now!" Shpo began to jump up and down and up and down, hyperventelating (is that how you spell it?). Sango picked him up and hugged him.

"Are you sure? Do you really smell her Shippo?" Sango began to slowly stand up and exit the hut. She saw Miroku already there. "Miroku! Kagome's coming back!"

"What?" He walked towards her and gave her a curious look. "Are you sure?"

"Yup! Shippo smelled her coming closer. And if you want to go and ask Inuyasha if she is coming, expect something that starts with an 'L' and rymes with pie." Sango said hugging Shippo closer and leaning against the hut. She turned her head as screams could be heard from the other side of the village.

"Pity there's going to be company when Kagome shows up!" Miroku said lifting his staff as he felt the energy coming closer. In seconds, they saw a demoness with red hair followed by Sesshoumaru come into view. Sango lifted her boomerang. She gave the demoness a mad look at threw her boomerang. As the boomerang was about to hit her, the demoness lifted her hand and the boomerang struck a shield. It then went flying back to Sango, but the demoness's eyes were pierced red and the boomerang stopped in mid air. It then dropped to the ground with no effort. Sango gave the demoness a worried look and stepped back.

"Shippo! Aren't you gonna give me a hug!?" The demoness asked spreading out her arms and smiling. Shippo smiled as well and jumped all the way to her. When they made contact, the demoness spun all the way around severel times and laughed. "I misses you so much, Shippo. You have no clue how much."

"Kagome-chan!!!" Shippo just yelled and nuzzled deeper into her chest. She laughed and smiled at her, much to Sango and Miroku's amazment.

"Kagome-chan?" Sango asked uncertainly. Could this demoness in front of her really be her Kagome? Could she really? Forever. Forever. It always echoes, and I think she is.

The demoness just smiled and ran towards Sango. "A little family secret made me change my genetic make-up. It caused me have crimson colored hair and sapphire blue eyes. Blame the grandfather who can't cast a single spell that sealed my youkai atributes." Kagome laughed and hugged Sango. Sango laughed also and hugged Kagome.

"I missed you so much, Kagome-chan! It was not fun without you here." Sango smiled at her.

"She is right, Lady Kagome. Nothing was the same while you were gone." Miroku stated as he groped her.

"Hentai!!!" Kagome slapped him as hard as she could. "And, Miroku, precious, just know that while I was in my time I made a picture of Inuyasha turned to dust. Don't think I won't do the same with hand." Kagome said coldly slapping him again.

"Made a picture to dust?" Sango asked. Shippo gave her the same look as Sango. If said: What did you do to a picture to make it turne to dust?

"It's makes me glad I'm the reincarnation of Kikyo." Kagome shivered. "That's the only good thing I see in Kikyo. Oh, and Miroku, could you please tell Inuyasha something for me?"

"Yes, Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked, still rubbing his bruised cheek. Man, could that new stregnth hit him hard, or what?

"Tell Inu-baka he's a very good actor." Kagome smirked and winked. She turned from then and began to walk towards Sesshoumaru when she was only a few feet away, she smiled at him. "Lets go him." Sesshoumaru just nodded. He turned around as well, and they both disappeared.

"Looks like Kagome's new powers are really powerful." Shippo said with amazement. "She can run just as fast as Sesshoumaru can! That's as fast as a demon can get."

"I know what you mean. And what did she mean when she said 'him'?" Sango extended her arm for Shippo to come back into her arms. Shippo did, and he smiled at her.

"I don't know, but it would have been nice if she said 'her' and the 'her' was Kikyo." Shippo said crossing his arms, still smiling at Sango.

"That's rude, Shippo. It's a very wanted wish of many of us, but it's very rude." Miroku said to Shippo, shaking his staff in front of Shippo's head.

~*~At The Southern Lands~*~

Kagome's eyebrow twitched with annoyance as the guard tryed to push them away from the front gates of the castle. Did they not know who she was!? She was the lord's daughter for kami-sama's sake! "If you don't move right now..." Kagome started.

"Not a chance little demon. No one gets into the castle unless the lord acknowledged us that the person was coming." A guard stated, pushing her away. Kagome glared at him.

"The shield behind the gate only lets people who are wanted in and family in, correct?" The guard gave her a bewildered look, but nodded. Kagome smirked. "Then moe out of the way, damnit!" Kagome ran past the gaurd and passed through the shield with Sesshoumaru with her.

"Your ways of getting what you want are quite unique, Kagome." Sesshoumaru smirked as they slowed their pace as they neared the front of the castle. Openning the door for her, she walked in.

"I take that as a compliment, Sesshoumaru." Kagome smirked as well. Then, she heard a faint sound of crying. It was very soft, but Kagome heard it. Like a woman crying because someone died. "Sesshoumaru, I'm going to be on the curious side right now. What was your mother's name?"

"Shinjite."Sesshoumaru said plainly. Kagome took a step down a corridor and smiled.

"Oh, do you think the castle is the same as it was 15 years ago? I remember the castle a bit from when I was little." She openned a door and saw a small bed with dolls and drawings all over the ground. "Yup. Hasn't changed one bit."

"And tell me, how would you remember?" A voice asked from behind them. Kagome immeaditly shut the door and looked to the man. He had red hair and was leaning against the wall, looking impatient.

"Lord Higurashi." Sesshoumaru stated. Kagome looked from him to her father and gasped.

"Sesshoumaru." The lord said with a slight grin, or maybe smirk? Kagome couldn't tell. He then turned his head to Kagome and raised his eyebrow. "And who is this?"

"Megumi wanted me to come here. She wanted me to find out about my heritage." Kagome said in a flat tone. Couldn't her father even recodnize her? Man, being a youkai really did make your mind slip... Or was it when you get older your mind slips? Aw, hell. Either way.

The lord looked taken back slightly. Kagome smiled inwardly. Was this really how her father acted? "K-Kagome?"

"Duh! You didn't even recodnize me!" Kagome smiled and hugged him and pulled away before he could even react. "I'm back."
