Chapter 11: Toushiro Higurashi

 

O-O-O-O-O

 

Alright here it is ;D

 

O-O-O-O-O

 

It had started to lightly snow, Sesshomaru drove Kikyo and Kagome home. He had to admit he was slightly worried, she still wasn't awake yet. And Makura slightly disturbed him. He hoped she wouldn't come in for work anytime soon, she should consider herself fired.

 

He sighed and continued to drive to Kagome's, good thing he had her addressed in a file.

 

O-O-O-O-O

 

Rika Higurashi was busily dusting her book shelves when she heard a loud knock on the door. “Coming!” She hummed as she went to the door. She smiled as she opened the door, “Ah! So you must be Sesshomaru, come in.” Rika seemed unfazed at the fact that he was carrying an unconscious Kagome in his arms.

 

Rika got out a blanket, “Just lay her down on the couch, please.” She said quietly.

 

Why isn't this woman panicking? Sesshomaru stared at her. Most mothers would be worried or something.

 

He heard a loud sigh come from Kagome's mother. “So you must be Sesshomaru…Inutaisho's son?” Sesshomaru nodded his head. “I'm Kagome's mother, though I'm sure you already guessed that, but anyways I'm Rika Higurashi.” She extended her hand out to Sesshomaru, he shook her hand gently. “Pleased to meet you.” She added.

 

“I'm not surprised…by this. Kagome has been sought after her whole life, but she's never known why. And finally the jewel has been taken, I'm sure she would have protected it if she had known her father died protecting it once. In the end he found the safest place to hide it was our daughter.

 

“Though I didn't want this for my child I've always known the importance of the Jewel. I wanted to take the task but my powers aren't as great as Kagome's. A Child truly blessed by the gods yet does not know of her unique and strong powers within her. She was the only one who could keep the jewel purified with her body. Though I was selfish I secretly wished that the jewel would be gone, Kagome could truly be free.”

 

She took a deep breath. “Though I must reveal to her these things, she would want to know anyways and she should know. I just thought keeping it from her, would not make her fear what lie ahead and live happily for a short while. Im glad she got at least 21 years in.” Her mother smiled.

 

“Though now I must ask you to help her get the jewel back. She cannot do this alone. And protect her.” Rika smiled, she had a certain gleam in her eyes. “May I ask you a favor?” Sesshomaru arched an eyebrow at her wondering what she was to inquire from him.

 

O-O-O-O-O-O

 

Kagome stirred from her mind, finally sensing no danger. She opened her eyes to find her mother hovering over her. “Mama…?” she asked. Rika nodded her head slowly. “Awake Kagome there is much needed to be discussed.”

 

O-O-O-O-O-O

 

“I'm sure you don't remember your father to well, Toushiro Higurashi. He was a wonderful man. Did I ever tell you how he died? Of course not. Anyways Toushiro and Sesshomaru's father, Inutaisho, were in charge of protecting the jewel that was in your body. Unfortunately they were only able to protect it for a little over 500 years, they were already many many years old and they had weakened to much as Naraku over took them.

 

“Though your father didn't want you to live your life in fear, he protected the jewel by having it put in your body. Have you ever wondered why you've been attacked by so many demons? Anyways you, my child, are blessed with divine power and now you must seek them out, train and become strong. The jewel is a powerful item that can be used to make wishes come true.

 

“Should it fall into the wrong hands you and everyone could die. Oh course this sounds like a movie or a fairy tale but its not, this time its for real. Though it will be difficult I already know that you will succeed. And plus you already have someone to help you.”

 

“Mom, seriously stop joking.” I didn't want to go on a journey and plus why would I have something so important. My mom just shook her head.

 

“Soon you will see this is not a dream.” She handed me a letter and a jacket. “I've arranged a safe place for you to stay since your certainly not safe here.”

 

She pushed me out the door and into a nice looking car. Where would I be living now?

 

O-O-O-O-O-O
