Chapter One:

Kagome blinked and opened her eyes, her head hurt like hell. She blinked again as she looked around. Ok, she definitely wasn't in Tokyo anymore. Looking down, her eyes widened, she wasn't in her school uniform. Who changed her. Kagome didn't like this one bit. Her breaths were coming out unevenly. She was starting to freak out.

Sure, she had been threw the feudal era, beat Naraku too. This still didn't mean she was used to the supernatural!!

“Calm yourself!!” A commanding voice called out, “There is nothing for you to fear.” Looking up Kagome was greeted by two women. The one had spoken was tall, thin and had gray hair that was pulled back into a severe knot. She stood beside the silent one. The silent one stat on an enormous thrown. She was draped in cream-colored linen. Her blond hair was wrapped around her head in a series of complicated braids, and an intricate crown of delicately carved golden ears of corn rested atop her head. In one hand she held a long scepter, in the other she had a golden goblet.

“Welcome to my realm, Kagome Higarashi, Guardian of the Shikon no tama!”

Questions warred in Kagom's brain, and she struggled to keep them from spilling out of her mouth at rapid speed. She was still the Guardian of the Shikon, she had finished her adventures a year ago, and went back to her own time. Inuyasha was happy with Kikyo, Kagome had given her half of her soul so she could live happily with him. She never regretted it, he was her first love and always will be, but she knew they weren't meant for one another, and she was content with that.

Looking up at the two woman, Kagome took a deep breath, “What happened to me?”

“As Eirene has said, there is nothing here for you to fear.” The queenly woman's voice was deep and comforting, it reminded Kagome much of Midoriko.

“Why have your brought me here?” Kagome asked, she knew there was something oddly familiar about this woman, but she couldn't place it, so she shrugged it off.

The woman on the thorn smiled sadly, “I have been looking for you, for a long time.” She started, and stood up slowly making her way towards her, “I have been looking for you, my daughter.”

Kagome's breath caught in her throat, it couldn't be. She knew she had been adopted, her foster mother had told her that. She had said she was a miracle to her family, they had found her on the side of the street with no one around to claim her as theirs.

“Daughter?” Kagome whispered, looking up as the woman stood directly in-front of her, “ What do you mean you have been looking for me?”

The woman smiled, “Come, let us go sit and I shall explain everything to you, my darling.” Kagome fallowed the woman who claimed to be her birth mother. She was lead into a library, it was rather big, all the walls were filled with types of books, and a small table was set in the middle of the room. There was some pillows spread in a couple places in the room, she guessed was for sitting and reading. There also was a desk that had parchment and scrolls on it.

“I guess I should start by introducing myself to you, “ she smiled, but it was strained. Kagome could tell this was hurting her. She her own daughter didn't know who she was.

“I am Demeter and I am the Goddess of harvest.” Kagome's eyes widened, the woman who said she is her mother is a goddess....but wouldn't that make her...

The woman smiled, “Yes, that makes you one too.” She reached out and took Kagome's hands in hers, they were warm, and she was rather careful, like she was scared she would make Kagome run.

Kagome looked at their connected hands, she couldn't bring herself to break the contact. She seemed so sad, she wanted to comfort her.

“If you are my mother....”Kagome started, her voice broke at the word mother, “Then why did you leave me abandoned on the side of the street.” She couldn't look at her in the eyes as she said this cause she knew her words would hurt, but she didn't know any other way to word it.

“I didn't abandon you,” She whispered, “You were stolen.” The hurt and raw pain in her voice made Kagome want to whimper. The pain in her voice made her want to cry, but she didn't let herself she needed answers. If she wasn't abandoned and stolen, why didn't she not find her till now.

“Who was I stolen by?” She asked, she didn't know anything in mythology about this. It was rather confusing, how come this didn't show up in any mythology books?

“You know of him, you did beat him” Demeter said, as recognition flashed in Kagome's eyes.

“Naraku?” Kagome asked, well more like stated.

Demeter nodded, “Yes, he found a way here to this time, he knew you had the Shikon in your body....Midoriko was a friend of mine, she may have been human but she had great power.” She spoke fondly of her, the priestess who had a pure soul and became the jewel that granted wishes.

“We had stopped Naraku from taking you, you ended up in the care of humans. The Higarashi's. I couldn't come for you, Zeus said that I couldn't bring you back till your destiny was completed. And that destiny was you destroying Naraku.” Demeter sighed, it had hurt her watching as her daughter was raised by a different woman.

Kagome looked at the woman in-front of her, “So now that I destroyed him, you brought me here. To the place I was born.”

Demeter nodded, “Yes, I have been waiting to bring you home....and now that you are here, you are here to stay.”

Kagome nodded in understanding, she would miss her foster family but ever since she had gotten back it was slightly different, it was like they had all moved on without her.

“So what now?” She asked, Kagome was here now, but what was her purpose?

She smiled at her daughter, “For now you should rest. Eirene shall show you to your room.” At the sound of her name Eirene came threw the door, then motioning for Kagome to fallow her.

“We shall take more later. But I want you to have a full rest before that.” She said, as she let go of Kagome's hands reluctantly.

Kagome nodded, standing up, “I guess I shall have to get used to all of this.” Kagome muttered, “It is a big surprise.” To Kaogme it hadn't actually sunk in yet, she knew it would after awhile of laying down.

“Rest and gather your thoughts. We shall speak more soon.” Demeter smiled, as she stood in-front of Kagome and gently cupped her cheek, “Welcome home my daughter, my Persephone.”
