InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Finally Strong ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

Chapter: 3

 

Kagome stood on a hill in the middle of a field of grass and little flowers. Down the hill was a huge Japanese style castle. It was at least 20 times the normal size of a human castle. The entire area was surrounded by youkai guards of all different breeds and power signatures. “It looks so familiar.” Kagome said to herself.

 

A sudden girlish laugh caught her attention. Kagome turned her head to the side and saw a young demon girl about the age of seven with black hair and silver eyes. Kagome could now identify the child as a younger her. She was lying on a bed of flowers next to a male demon. He looked to be ten, maybe eleven. He had silver hair that reached mid-back and eyes as gold as the sun. He was smiling at the girl.

 

`He looks so much like a curtain taiyoukai I know,' Kagome giggled at the thought.

 

The girl spoke, “Sesshou-kun, will you stay with me forever?”

 

`Holy crap! That's Sesshoumaru-sama!' Kagome's eyes practically doubled.

 

“Of course, Kagome-chan. I love you, you know that,” The younger Sesshoumaru said with a smile.

 

The girl's eyes saddened, “But I have to leave tomorrow. What if I never see you again?”

 

Sesshoumaru sat up straighter, “Come here.” She flung herself into his arms.

 

They held each other close. Sesshoumaru then reached into his haori. He pulled out a small choker. It was a plain silver chain on the chain was a dark blue pendant. It was in the shape of a crescent moon, the same as on his forehead. In the middle of the moon was the word “Intended” in kanji.

 

The young Kagome gasped. “Sesshou-kun, do you really mean it?” She knew what this meant. It was the symbol of the future mate of a royal youkai. If a yasha were to wear this, everyone would know that she and Sesshoumaru were planning to mate.

 

Seshoumaru smiled, not an I'm-going-to-kill-you smile, but an actual smile. “Of course I do. Would I give this to you if I didn't?” He urged the choker towards her, “Do you accept?”

 

She pressed herself closer to him, “Yes! I accept! I would love to!”

 

He put the choker around her neck. The pendant glowed prettily for its new wearer. “When you come back, wear this. That way, if anything should happen, I will know for curtain that it is you.”

 

The young Kagome got all teary-eyed, “Oh, Sesshou…”

 

Sesshoumaru leaned in and kissed her.

 

Kagome's eyes snapped open. What was that? Was it another memory? Did that really happen? Kagome searched her newly acquired memories for anything with Sesshoumaru. Yup, they were friends…wow.

 

Kagome sat up, her head spun. Oi, what did I do last night? And what's that smell? It's horrible! Kagome gasped. Ami said she would transform in my sleep!

 

“What do I look like?” Kagome leaped out of bed, swaying slightly before regaining her balance, and raced to the bathroom.

 

She gasped again, louder this time. “I'm beautiful,” she whispered.

 

Kagome was indeed beautiful. She had long blue-black hair that reached her thighs. Her bangs straightened out, along with the rest of her hair, and they parted in the middle, as is the style for princesses.

 

On the center of her forehead was a forest green diamond. It was outlined with blue. On her cheeks were two stripes, like Sesshoumaru, except the top ones were reddish orange, and the bottom ones were light silver.

 

Kagome's eyes were silver with specks of blue in them. Over her eyes, like natural eye shadow, were blue stripes, also like those of Sesshoumaru. She had claws, fangs, and pointy ears. Also, she had the same red and silver stripes on her wrists, ankles, and hips.

 

Kagome looked more mature. Her cheekbones were higher. All the baby fat was gone. And she was filled out in all the right places. Instead of being 5'6”, she was about 5'11”. Kagome looked really good.

 

She was suddenly aware of everything around her. Every surface was easily seen, every crack in the tile floor. She could hear her family starting there day downstairs, and even hear there heartbeats. Kagome could smell breakfast being made, her families' scents, and the pollution of the city around her.

 

“Demons are so cool!” Kagome grinned and headed downstairs.

 

“Ohayo, Mina-san!” Kagome greeted. They looked up at her. Ami and Jii-chan smiled a knowing smile, but it was Souta who yelled.

 

“Kagome-onee-chan? Is that you? You look so cool! Are you a demon? Does that mean I'm a demon too? `Cause that would be even cooler!” Souta's rambling stopped when his mother laughed.

 

“Oh dear. I suppose that means I would have to explain again, doesn't it? Well, it all started yesterday when your sister came home…” Ami explained as best she could to her son. While he was disappointed that he wasn't a demon like his sister, he was proud of her.

 

After a while of talking, it was time to pack and get ready to leave. Kagome sat in the middle of her room, her bag in front of her, and clothes, food snacks, and personal items scattered all around her. Kagome was leaving, and it won't be for a while until she visited again. Ami taught her a really useful spell to put on her backpack. It made it so that it never got full. You could add as many things in it as you wanted and it would never get full or heavy, not that weight would affect her now that she was a demon.

 

It just so happens that Ami has been stoking up on supplies little by little ever sense they first arrived in the modern era. It was a real surprise when Ami took Kagome to the attic and there were hundreds of boxes of supplies filling up the space. After packing all those in the yellow monstrosity Kagome went to her room to pack last minute necessities. Kagome had enough stuff in that bag to supply all of Tokyo.

 

Now Kagome was in the well house. Her family was beside her, saying their final goodbyes. Kagome was wearing a green kimono with dark blue diamonds along the collar and sleeves, the diamonds representing the Southern lands, and a slightly lighter blue obi. She had matching blue sandals. Around her neck was the choker Sesshoumaru gave her. It was a little small on her, so it looked more like a dog collar (Sesshoumaru is a dog!).

 

“Okay, Kagome, your father's guards will be at the well when you cross over. You probably won't recognize them but they won't hurt you. If they did, Ichimaru would kill them.” Ami laughed at that.

 

She sobered quickly, “Are you sure you want to leave now? We could wait until later.”

 

Kagome sighed, “No, I have to leave now. Or else I'd never want to leave.” She turned to the rest of her family, “I'll miss you.” They hugged again.

 

“Goodbye,” she said. She stood on the lip of the well.

 

With a small smile, Kagome jumped.
