The day progressed as any other day would, they managed to find one more Jewel Shard before they decided to set up camp for the night. Since the night was going to be a new moon they took to camp earlier than normal; to ensure Inuyasha's secret remained that way.
"I'm going to go and soak in the hot spring that we passed back there." Kagome said as Sango and Miroku proceeded to help put up her tent for Inuyasha to hide in.
Shippo watched as his mother disappeared and took off after her. 'Something is wrong with her; her scent is changing for some reason. I need to find out what is wrong with my Mama.'
Once there she sat in the water and closed her eyes to relax. "Shippo I know you are out there why don't you come on in. I am sure your muscles will enjoy the relaxing heat as well!" she calmly stated.
Bouncing over to the water happily, he quickly discarded his clothing and jumped in; careful not to make too big of a splash.
Just then the sun set and Shippo excited asked, "Mama, what is that strange light in the sky there?" while pointing to the horizon.
Looking to the same horizon Kagome's eyes started to glaze over in a hypnotic state and she simply stated, "That is the comet of 76 years, soon to be known as Halley's Comet."
Shippo stared in amazement at the comet until he noticed a bright light being emitted right beside him, right where his mother was, "Mama?"
She levitated in the air wrapped in a bright blue light of her aura. The power being emitted was so strong that the water was slowly starting to wrap around her as well.
All Shippo was able to see, before the water completely engulfed her, was her hair growing to knee length and markings starting to appear on her body.
He quickly got out of the remaining water and dressed; completely prepared to go and get help. As he was starting to run to get Sango and Miroku he stopped upon hearing her voice, "Please don't leave, I am fine. This is my true form son! Do you still accept me as your mother?"
She was a little confused as to how she knew what was going on but at the same time she didn't, but when she looked at her son all doubt and worry left her mind.
Tears of joy slowly started to fall down his face, "Mama, I would want you in any shape, form, or species for that matter! It is your soul and heart that has captured me as your son not your appearance. Why did you not tell us, much less me, that you are a descendant of one of the most divine demons even known to exist?"
"I knew not that I possessed this form or power for that matter. I am still confused to what it is that I am. You said that I am a descendant of divine demons? What exactly is that?" she asked as she got out of the water to dress, not realizing that some how during her transformation a strange material formed around her in the form of a formal traveling kimono.
"Well," he started. "Being a divine demon, or demoness in this case, is normally to be associated as being a god or goddess among the humans. However, I do not recognize your scent; I almost want to say that I still smell a very small trace of human blood...could it be that you are a half...a demigod?"
When that word reached her ears; her body fell limply to the ground, where she entered into another trance.
She saw the vision of a beautiful golden haired Goddess descending from the heavens in a silver chariot pulled by a pair of white horses. She landed not too far from a human male, who laid sleeping in a field of sheep. Kagome quickly noted the serene look in the Goddess's eyes and knew that this young male was her lover.
"Awake for me, my love. Oh how I love thee my Shepard Prince, Endymion!" the Goddess stated lovingly.
"Hello my love, my Goddess Selene!" Endymion said as he slowly got up to embrace the Goddess Selene.
Kagome watched on in disbelief as different events progressed before her eyes. She witnessed as Selene had asked Zeus to grant him eternal sleep. She was also witness to Selene's thoughts of remembering her sister mistakenly ask for her lover to be granted eternal life and in return he was changed into a grasshopper.
Kagome couldn't help but to laugh at the thought of a lover being turned into a grasshopper for all of eternity and wondered if he was still like that or if it was reversed. Pulling herself from her own musing she was granted with the knowledge of the fifty daughters that the two lovers had, one being her own mother.
She witnessed as her mother, who was known as Naxos, grew tired of the Grecians and of Greece itself in time and set off to travel the world; the forbidden lands.
Her mother fell in love with the people of Japan, mainly Honshu, and how she found the man she loved.
He was also considered a demigod among his fellow Japanese humans. He was a priest-ancient wolf demon mix. He was known throughout Honshu for his charitable acts of kindness to those less fortunate.
Unfortunately because of his strong holy powers constantly trying to purify his body of the demonic blood, he would not be permitted to live as long as most demigods did.
Kagome saw the day that her father had supposedly died in the car accident and her grandfather's sudden appearance, that she had never met before that particular day. She bore witness to the fact that her Grandfather was indeed her Father and that the concealment spell that had been placed on him to make him young was destroyed by Halley's Comet back in 1987.
'I can't believe they have lied to me all this time. How could they make us believe that he is dead when in fact he is alive and still living with us?' with that thought she was brought out of her trance.
"Mama!" Shippo exclaimed. "I was so worried, I didn't know what to do. I didn't know if I should get Sango or not but I didn't want to leave you alone and defenseless. I thought you had died but then I noticed your heartbeat and breathing still existed so I calmed down a little but I was still so worried."
She picked her son up and hugged him to her, "Shippo I am fine. I am sorry I worried you so; I just saw what had occurred in the past to bring about my existence though. I can't believe my father is still alive and posing to be my Grandfather."
He looked at her a little confused, "Mama, how could you not tell he is your father?"
"I have had a concealment spell of some sorts placed on me since my birth, it is some how weakened with the power this particular comet emits. My father, being a half Priest and half ancient wolf demon, will not live as long as any other half breed because of his holy powers constantly trying to purify his demonic blood; it has used up a lot of his life force energy just to keep him from purifying himself."
She finally started calming down with the realization that they didn't have the ability to explain what happened to her father to her brother or her, she no longer felt anger towards her parents. "I guess my mother cast a spell on him when he first started aging drastically back in the early 1900's, because it was when this particular comet passed in my time, that is when they faked his death. They had sent me off to a different country, further in the south; a place I wouldn't be affected by the comet. It was that same time that my Mother conceived my brother Souta."
"It will be okay Mama, they only did what they thought was right. It shows they love you!" he said as he finally took in her whole appearance.
Her eyes were a bright blue, while her hair went all the way down to her knees. It was a deep black with a slight hint of a blue sheen to it. She had two midnight blue strips on each of her cheeks and a baby blue crescent moon with a star in the middle of her forehead. He gathered the star was a heritage trademark passed down from the ancient wolf tribe of Japan while the Crescent was something passed down from her mother's side.
"Um Mama, what exactly is your Mother?" he asked curiously.
"Oh sorry Shippo, I guess I forgot to explain that part! My mother is a direct descendant of the Moon Goddess herself, Goddess Selene, and her human Sheppard Prince, Endymion. She is their daughter Naxos."
'Interesting, so the Priestess is not the reincarnation of that other Priestess afterall. But a direct decendant of the Moon Goddess, could it be her mother that blessed the house of the Western Lands? I must look into this concealment spell on her, to be rid of it once and for all.' thought the lone warrior that hid in the shadows upon feeling the strong aura that was emitted well over an hour ago from the new demigod that stood before him.
