Kagome's Destiny

 

 

Chapter 5

 

 

 

Kagome, the new Lady of the Eastern Lands, sped through the trees to a large castle in the distance. She looked behind her to see her father, the old Lord of the Eastern Lands, running behind her.

 

“Hey, dad?” she asked.

 

“Hai,” replied her father.

 

“Want to fly for a while? I could use the fresh air.”

 

Instead of an answer, Hakito shoot up into the air. He hovered over the trees waiting for his daughter to follow him.

 

“Show off!” whispered Kagome as she joined him in the air.

 

The father and daughter flew to the castle in the distance. To any traveler that had looked up, it would have seemed to them as if two heavenly Gods were flying over the treetops with great speed.

 

Kagome flew to her new home with a speed that would out do Sesshomaru of the West.

 

`What am I going to do when I see him? How will he react to me being the Lady of the Eastern Lands?' though Kagome as she flew over a small village.

 

Kagome could remember the first time that she saw Sesshomaru of the Western Lands. He was smiling at her before a horde of demons had attacked the castle. Many would have thought that she had seen him for the first time when in his father's tomb. This was, however, not the case. Kagome remembered that she had seen him as a small child. She was only twenty at the time. She had seen him just before she went through the well. She was still a baby at the time so she could not remember him very well. As a pure elemental demon she grew very slowly.

 

Before she was in the future, to where she grew up just like any other baby child, she grew at an extremely slow rate. She may have been old compared to a human, but in demon form she was only a small baby. She continued to grow like a normal human should have because her father had placed a spell on her to allow her to grow in their time. Now in her demon form she looked like she was a few hundred years old.

 

“Kagome it is time to land.” came her father's voice interrupting her thoughts.

 

Kagome looked ahead of her to see that her castle was indeed very close. She smiled at its beauty. The walls were a dark gray stone. The castle was surrounded by the most spectacular gardens in the world. Not even the other lords could say that.

 

Kagome and Hakito landed at the front gate of the castle. The guards quickly opened the gate and bowed.

 

“My Lady,” said the closest guard. “You have returned to us! Welcome back to your home.”

 

“Thank you, …what is your name?” inquired Kagome.

 

“Nerto, if it pleases you, My Lady?” he said uneasily.

 

“Yes, thank you. It is good to be back,” she said as she went through the gate.

 

Kagome went into the castle only to stop inside the door. Kagome looked at the stairs that went to the upper floors. Servants stopped to look at her, bowed, and then go about their business.

 

“When is the ball going to be? I noticed that Koga couldn't keep up with us. He just suddenly gave up and went to the Northern Lands.” Kagome asked her father.

 

“It is in a few hours. The Lords will be arriving in two hours. That is why you needed to get here as soon as possible.” Hakito replied.

 

Kagome walked to the stairs and started to walk up them. `I just have enough time to go and soak in a hot bath!'

 

“My Lady!” cried a soldier.

 

Kagome turned around and looked at the soldier.

 

“Yes, what is it?”

 

“There is an attack on the village that is just a few minutes away! It is under attack by tiger demons.”

 

`And I just got here. I am not even the official Lady of the Eastern Lands. I don't fully become the Lady until the ball tonight. Well, I guess that I will have to get used to it sometime. I will have to tell everyone that I hate being called `My Lady'.'

 

“Lead the way,” she said out loud.

 

Kagome walked with the soldier out the castle door and into the sun.

 

“Where is the village? I just need to know which…” Kagome suddenly stopped.

 

She sniffed the air and quickly ran to the south.

 

`What is that…it is definitely smoke. This is definitely not the work of only one or two tigers!'

 

Kagome ran through the forest at an ungodly speed. In a few seconds, she entered on the edge of the burning town.

 

`What has happened here? Let me see? The village is burning from the outside of the village in. That is not the ordinary work of a tiger demon. That smell…it is Naraku…what is he doing? What is he trying to pull?'

 

“Well, fire is not a problem for me!” said Kagome out loud.

 

Kagome walked up to the roaring flames that seemed to have a will of its own. Kagome raised her power level and let loose tons of water from her palm. The water flowed through her palm very rapidly. The water flowed through the village with a vengeance. It spread into the huts and over the farmland at the back of the village. The fire quickly conquered the flames within moments.

 

“Okay. Now that is over,” said Kagome. “Now where is Naraku?”

 

She looked at the remains of the village. The few buildings that were still standing were burned in different places. She could smell the scent of tiger on the wind. She stood in a defensive stance waiting for the tigers to show themselves.

 

Suddenly, eight tigers came out of nowhere! They brought with them the smell of dead flesh and fresh blood. They looked normal, except for the spider scar on their backs. Seven of them were orange and black, while the eighth was white and black. Kagome jumped back away from the tigers. They quickly followed her, which brought them away from the village.

 

“Ah, now I understand.” said Kagome with a thoughtful tone in her voice.

 

Kagome watched as the tigers surrounded her. The white tiger stayed to her front, while the others spread out and divided themselves between her.

 

“Are you known as the miko known as Kagome?” asked the white tiger very suddenly. His voice had a deep, husky ring to it. It seemed as if this was the first of second time ever using it.

 

“I am,” came Kagome's calm reply.

 

“Good. Naraku sends his best.” He said as he moved his back legs underneath him.

 

He leaped in to the air! His claws came out in full force as he fell to the ground to where Kagome was standing. Kagome easily dodged the attack and leaped into the air. The other tigers sprang into full attack. They leaped into the air trying to get to Kagome, who was at least thirty-five feet off the ground.

 

“Now, let me see? How many of you are there?” she asked the infuriated tiger demons on the ground. She raided her hand and pointed to the tigers in turn.

 

“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, oh, and eight. What is a poor miko-demon like me to do? Oh, wait that is easy!” said Kagome with obvious sarcasm.

 

Kagome raised her palm out in front of her. “Since you think that you can destroy and kill humans with fire, then I think that it is only appropriate to use ice on you.”

 

She blew ice out of her palm and aimed it at the tigers jumping under her. They quickly froze over with ice, which enabled them to move an inch. She set down on the ground and looked at the tigers that were frozen over with her powers. She whirled around, bringing her left leg up to smash the white tiger into a dozen pieces.

 

“They are just pones of Naraku! They did not deserve this death by my hands!” Kagome yelled.

 

She felt a few tears fall down her cheek. She looked at the other tigers with pity in her eyes.

 

“I'm sorry,” she whispered to them as she turned around.

 

She walked away with a firm step. Wind blew suddenly around her. It flowed around her for a second before it receded behind her. She walked away with the distinct sound of ice shattering on large trees in the background.

 

`I must hurry! I still have to bathe and dress for the ball. I wish I had brought Shippo. But he would have hated all the demons in the room. It would have overpowered his senses. Having three demon Lords and there Ladies in the same room is not a good idea unless you can protect yourself. I'm sorry my son, but this is for your own good.' She thought as she came closer to the burned village.

 

Upon closer inspection of the village Kagome noticed that the villagers where mainly all right. She could see the two or three villagers that were brutally eaten by the tiger demons. Most of the villagers were smudged with black all over there bodies, while only a few actually had any real burns.

 

`I guess they were mainly in the fields when this happened. Only one of two of them were in the huts. That is good. The children all look fine. Thank Kami!'

 

A villager walked up to Kagome with the look of unease on his face. He had black marks covering most of his body. His brown hair was so covered in ash that is look almost pure gray. Kagome stopped her advance and waited for the villager to speak to her.

 

“T-Thank you for your help. I am the village leader. How can we repay you for your kindness?” he asked.

 

`It does not seem as if they know that I am the Lady of the East. That is very good.' Kagome thought with curiosity.

 

“You owe me nothing. I am here to help you. I shall send some of my people to help you rebuild your homes and farming land. Do not be afraid when they show up. They will not hurt you in any way, shape, or form.”

 

“Oh, thank you so much! There must be something that we can do for such a wonderful demoness as you!” he replied with gratitude.

 

“Just take care of your village. Take care of your children. I have to leave, but I will get you help as soon as I can. They will be with you in less than an hour.” Kagome said as she turned to walk away.

 

The villagers started to whisper as she left. Kagome would hear them argue.

 

“Kooba, ask her who she is!” whispered a man.

 

“No, I don't want to offend her. She has done enough already!” came the retort from the now know leader.

 

“Fine, if you won't then I will!” yelled a woman.

 

“Miss, what is your name?!” shouted the village women over the crowd.

 

Kagome turned around to face them. She smiled at them.

 

“Kagome,” she replied. “My name is Kagome.”

 

She turned around when she saw their shocked faces and walked into the trees.

 

The villagers, that had gathered to see her, just stood still with their mouth hanging out. The look on their faces was one of pure shock and discovery.

 

“What did she just say?” said the leader, Kooba.

 

“Kagome, isn't that the name of the new Lady here?” asked a child that looked the age of sixteen.

 

“Yes, it is.” came the astonished response of Kooba.

 

“Wow!” said a villager in the back of the group.

 

“Yeah, I can't believe it!” said the women who asked Kagome what her name was. “She doesn't seem like the other Lords and Ladies.”

 

“Yeah, she seems like a normal commoner. She cares about the people.”

 

“And did you hear what she said? She said a miko-demon. That means she has some miko abilities!” yelled a villager.

 

“Yeah, but she is a demon. She looks and acts like an Elemental demon like her father. How can she have miko abilities as well?”

 

“I don't know. I do know that she is going to be a great ruler. Let is be known as of this day forth that Kagome, Lady of the Eastern Lands, is the protector of the people.” said Kooba in a formal tone.

 

“Hai, we shall show her the proper respect that she deserves. She is going to be the best ruler that these lands have ever seen!”

 

And as of that day, Kagome, Lady of the Eastern Lands, was known as the protector of the people. That is when it all started. Kagome's destiny was being fulfilled without anyone even knowing it.
