Chapter 7: A little Information.

“Kagome, What do you know about Miko’s?”

“Miko’s are protector’s of humans and they kill very deadly demons. Do you see demons, Kagome?”

“Demons are not like humans. They are stronger than 30 humans put together, they can hear farther, run faster, see better. Demons are very deadly if you mess with the wrong one. Why? Have you encountered one?”

“Inside of you are untrained, deep, and very powerful forces, and I do not know how I did not see it. Everything surrounding you is illuminating power. Your whole essence is covered in it!”

“By being a in the line of Monks, I am able to feel the presence of other holy aura’s. Something must have brought out your powers? Are you sure you have never seen a demon in disguise? Miko’s are able to look past their façade.”

“Tell me, have you ever had bright light ascend for your hands?”

“Kagome, you must not tell anyone what we have discussed. If word got out that you were indeed a Miko, I am afraid your life could be in danger.”

---------------

Miko’s?

That was a foreign word to me. About as foreign as Japanese even though I was apart of that culture. So very different from anything I had ever experienced in my life. Miko’s killed the demons I was so deathly terrified of.

These kind of people took life from another human being, or well a demon being, and I was one of them?

Never had anything hit me harder than knowing I had the power to purify demons, to kill them off.

My whole body was stiff from the fear of demons finding out that I was a bigger threat than I had thought. Being able to see demons was enough punishment. But also being able to harm them in a way no other human was, terrified me.

I really think moving here was the stupidest thing I have ever done.

I was currently standing by my locker. How I got here I was unsure. The lunch room conversation was a blur, and I was still not positive all that I had heard was true. I was silently praying that what I had found out was indeed false.

But Miroku had sounded so sincere during our conversation. My fears shot up ten-fold when Sango did not seem the least bit surprised hearing about demons.

Then come to find out she is a DEMON SLAYER? What the fuck have I gotten myself into?

“I don’t think you went about that the right way Miroku.”

Jerking around I heard voice’s drawing closer to my position. Stepping in the dark hall I watched as both of my friends passed by me, so lost in their conversation they did not even hear when I tripped.

My back pressed against the way, I waited until their voices were muffled. Catching my breath I slowly followed them, hoping they would stop long enough at some point for me to hear their conversation.

“Sango…..Not….Miko….Inuyasha&he llip;.Mate….she didn’t even know…Please..”

My mind was so jumbled I could not even insert the correct words that were missing. Trying to follow behind without being caught but also trying to keep up so not to lose them was indeed complicated.

Every now in then I would trip, and being the klutz I am, it was more often than not. Exactly what were they talking about? I knew they could both since my aura, and yet they were so into their own conversation that they could not detect me.

I was certain it obviously about Inuyasha and there was that word again, MATE.

Just what was so important that they couldn’t even acknowledge my presence? I could see them enter an empty classroom, both looked around cautiously making me have to duck around another corner.

Resting against the wall I breathed deeply. My life keep getting more complicated as the days dragged on. Slowly I crept up next to the door of the classroom they vacated.

I only prayed they did not catch a fleeting glimpse of me.

----------------------------------

“You know this changes things, Right?” How could this have happened? A girl moves to our school and changes everything as we know it. Poor Kagome. She had no idea just what she was getting herself into.

“Sango, stop with the temper tantrum.” Miroku sighed, shaking his head lightly. “What we have is here is merely a bump in the road.”

“A bump in the road?? A BUMP IN THE ROAD” I shouted waving my hands around in the air. It was more than a bump in the road. It was a complete disaster.

Everything was spiraling down into a black abyss and I did not see us coming out of this without lots of bruises.

“Miroku, his mate is here! HIS MATE! Something demons are not suppose to find within their first 200 years of existence. Inuyasha is only 50 in demon years. He is not suppose to have found her already. But here she is, in our school. Do you understand that he will never be able to get around her? Then Kagome comes in and is a MIKO? Someone who kills demons for a living. Of coarse to twist things up, SHE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW!” I ranted. Pacing back and forth. Looking to Miroku ever so often.

How the hell did he just sit there calmly. Like our whole world was not going up in ashes. I really felt for Inuyasha. Having to already endure the seals for his demon but finding his mate 150 years to early was way to much on his demon.

I could already tell it was affecting him emotionally. Considering all the unexpected things that had taken place in the last two days.

“We will have to control him Sango, there is no way he can mate with her at this time. His demon is to unstable. Not to mention he is a half, and he has limited control over his full demon side. Kagome can become of some use to us, with the right training that is. We all know Naraku is planning something bigger than ever. We have been fighting this battle for over 100 years no stop and have yet to defeat him. Our ancestors have died trying to protect the jewel. Maybe she can purify it and dispel his evil from the core?” Did I ever mention I was sick of this Hoshi? Besides the fact that he never missed an opportunity to fondle my ass.

He always talks like I have no idea of the circumstances of our current situation. Here I was, a demon slayer, killing off those who wish to oppose Inuyasha’s father, Inu-Tashio. The ruler of the demon world, and an extremely powerful one at that. One mere humans had no idea existed.

“Look, how about we lay low for a couple of days. You said yourself that Inuyasha wont be at school for now. Why don’t we just pretend like we have no idea what is going on with him. I know Kagome is worried. She told me herself that she is feeling….things.. For him. What of Kikyo? She plays dumb but we all know she isn’t.” I tried to reason with him. The last few days had taken a toll on all of us. Especially Inuyasha.

Kikyo was one of the main reasons our plans never went accordingly. I knew something about her was off. Compared to the fact that Inuyasha had a huge crush on her.

He never approached her with his feelings due to the fact that she doesn’t date demons. The stupid bitch thought she was above them, because she had spiritual powers, and they were ‘not to be tainted’.

“Sango, I agree. Kagome must not know about anything else, until we get word from Inuyasha. He is going in front of the council in three days. They will then decide the outcome of everyone’s fate. Hopefully it is for the best and does not drastically change our way of life.” Miroku shifted in his seat atop the desk he resided on. Shaking his head wearily.

And I had to much experience and could understand what he was feeling.

We were both terrified of having to go into hiding. We had lived our life on the outside of the demon grounds for the last century. Going back into the confines of the manor, would be terrifying.

“Okay, my lips are sealed. But remember, after a week all bets are off. She is just as much apart of this as we are, if not more so.” I stated, knowing I was going to set off more than just Miroku’s temper.

If the demon king found out I was planning to overthrow his word and take matters into my own hand, I would be confide into solitary, and at the thought of going there, made me shudder.

“That’s where you are wrong. She will have no say in anything until the council decide. You know their word is law.” I could feel his intense stare on my skin. Daring me to openly defy him. I was never one to take orders.

“And that’s where you are wrong.“ My voice displaying conviction. “We are neither demons nor are we Miko’s, Miroku. You and I both know they are the main warriors in this war. All that happens is up to their decision, we are nothing but sideline gullies. Kagome has just a much a right as any other Miko. I will do as I please and you will not stop me. One week.” I stated.

I am not one to be controlled. I could tell Miroku was frantic, his aura bouncing off the walls trying to tangle with mine, trying to stop my disobedience. Stepping out of his range I shot him a fierce look of defiance. Never was I one to follow the rules.

“I will see you in our next class.” Turning from him I walked proudly out of the room with my head high. I would not let him control me. This girl was not a fool.

Stopping abruptly, I felt it. The slightest twinge of an essence and then it was gone. My eyes scanned the hall way. Knowing that whomever was here was long gone.

Shrugging I continued to my next class. Whom ever it was must have felt mine and Miroku’s aura’s tangling and decided to hightail it. It was for the best because with the mood I am in, I might just start swinging.

-------------------------

My heart was racing and banging against my chest. I was crunched over breathing heavily due to the marathon I had just ran to get out of there. I was positive they would find me, and being confronted was not something I was ready to do at this time.

With words racing and feelings bouncing, I was most certain my life would never be the same. I had a lot of researching to do. This was beyond my mental capacity and I was running low on fuel.

Council? Full of people who make decisions on what?

A demon council? Even scarier when you add the word demon.

Mate’s? The term that was use much to often, yet still held no meaning to me.

Kikyo the annoying gum smacker? Who made me want to smack her? Just who was she?

Inuyasha a hanyou? What did that mean, half what?

The thoughts were running around and around and my head was pounding. My breath was quickening and I had a sudden urge to vomit. And that’s what I did.

I quickly found my head plastered to the toilet letting all of my not so tasty lunch out. Letting it swim free in the place where people urinate.

My nose scrunched up, hadn’t I already endured enough?

My head hit the back of the stale and with a slight sigh I closed my eyes. What was Inuyasha to me? I wondered what Miroku or even Sango was to me?

I was new here. Only two days old and already my life was turning upside down.

Standing, I swayed as the blood rushed back into my head making me slightly dizzy. I quickly washed my hands and headed back to class. I hoped no one questioned my disappearance.

When I neared the classroom door, I could hear the teacher talking. Maybe he wouldn’t write me up? With a groan I pushed the door open and walked slowly inside.

All eyes were once again glued to my face. The teacher looked up expectantly at me, waiting my excuse.

“I… uh.. wasn’t feeling to well. I’m sorry.” I bowed my head, giving off the sickly vibe, or at least I hoped I was. I was trying to keep a grim look on my face so that they could not see the falseness.

Well I did actually throw up so its not a complete lie. Hey! Since when did I get so good a lying? Prison was only a couple of years away.

“Please, Mrs. Kagome sit down. Do not let this happen again, next time I will send you to the office.” He said sternly, motioning with his hand toward my seat.

“Yes, Mr. James.” I walked directly to my seat, not letting my eyes reach anyone else’s. It was a complete surprise that no one snickered, most just continued to stare.

Sango was peering at me curiously through cautious eyes. Reading into my soul and calculating what truth was actually in my statement. When I sat down her hand fell to my arm, making me jump from the contact.

“Hey?” She started. “You feeling okay?” Her concern made me smile. If there was one thing I did now, it was that Sango was on my side.

And I had a week to figure out all I needed before she informed me on everything. The library was currently on my agenda for the rest of the week.

“Yes. I guess my lunch just did not agree with me.” I laughed, in turn making her smile and lose the worried expression.

“The meatloaf surprise, wasn’t much of one. I’m glad you are okay.” I nodded my head thanking her for concerning herself about me.

The only thing good about this entire trip was that I had made a friend out of someone trustworthy. Maybe being here would turn out for the better, or maybe NOT!

If I hadn’t moved here, I would have never known the reason I am able to see demons. I turned my attention to teacher making Sango follow in turn.

We both would glance toward one another during class, each giving a reassuring smile. And slowly the day passed.

I finally found myself walking out of the school and towards my car. Having finished my first all day here finally. Waving goodbye to Sango, I silently wondered where Miroku went. He was possibly checking up on Inuyasha, due to the fact that he did not return to any of his classes.

Jumping into my car I drove toward the one place I knew would contain all my unspoken questions. It took me almost an hour to finally reach the Library considering I had to stop and ask for directions THREE times! Ack. I was already tired.

Arriving there, I quickly ascended the stairs, making my way to the front desk. A lady of five foot four was behind the counter. Taking me by surprise when her smile lit up.

“Hello!” She beamed. Slightly taking back I shot her a weary grin. Not sure if she was completely sane or mentally ill. Seemed to me there were a lot of people not so sane in this town.

“Hi,” I called back meekly. Which only made her smile the brighter.

“It’s so nice to see a friendly face! My name is Rin.” Her hand shot out gripping mine, shaking it up and down making my arm flail out.

“Kagome,” Her eyebrow’s shot up, surprised. This.. Rin girl.. Peered at me, inspecting my face. I could feel my cheeks heat up from her intense gaze.

“My, my. You are as pretty as I’ve heard.” She commented.

“Excuse me?” I asked displaying confusion. As pretty as they say? WHO SAY? I have never met her in my life.

Why did everyone have to know who I was? I had only been here three days total, and two days in school. Besides she was probably around twenty-two, certainly not in my age group.

“Hmm?” her eyes met mine, tilting her head to the side.

“I don’t mean to be rude.. uhr…. Rin.. But you said, I am as pretty as they say? Who said that?” I asked. Was it me or did people tend to take me for a stupid girl? I am not stupid, and I absolutely do not need a hearing aid.

“Oh yes. Your dad of coarse. Ben. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to come on to forward. Ben is a big favorite here in town. We all knew you were coming. Excited he was.” Rin laughed. Probably reminiscing. I knew my dad was excited, but not THIS excited.

“Oh.” my performed the perfect one O shape. This time, I peered at her, taking in all her features. She was gorgeous.

Okay, so I’m not gay. Or bisexual, but she was really gorgeous. Her eyes were glassed with a tinge of orange and gold. Definitely an attractive fete. Her body was slim taking on the hour glass shape, a body I only dreamed about having.

She turned her head, her hair swaying, as another person walked to her desk asking a question. And that’s when I saw it. Right on her neck was a crescent moon with a star displayed around it, both glowed brightly.

I glanced at the boy seeing if, maybe he too saw it, only to see his eyes were glued to the front of her opened shirt.

My eyes shifted back to her neck, unfortunately I could no longer see it as clearly, her hair had fallen back into place.

This place was full of FREAKS! I mean I’ve heard of tattoo’s, who hasn’t? But ones that glowed?

I positively do not think that is possible. I wondered if she knew of Inuyasha, because for some strange reason, he was the cause of all my exotic findings.

I made a mental note to ask her, the next time I came to the Library because at the moment I was more worried about looking up some answers.

When her attention shifted back to me, I asked about using a computer. Rin escorted me to a computer way in the back of the room. I was grateful considering the things I had to look up, I did not want someone stumbling onto. Thanking her I sat at the computer desk.

It was time to begin my search.
