The Gift

"What do you mean a suprise Aunt Yuma?" asked a very confused Kagome.

"Just what I said Kags, a suprise."

"Wha-what did you just call me?" Kagome said in shock. No one has called her "Kags" since she was 6, and only then certain few were even allowed to call her that. That nickname was reserved for those who were close to her heart, besides family of course. The last person that called her Kags disappeared from her life the day after they had made a promise to each other, the thing that confused Kagome about that though is that she doesn't remember who he was or what the promise was. She just knows she made a promise to wait for someone, at least thats what she is told in her dreams lately. Kagome was yanked out of her thoughts when all of a sudden she heard a lot of people shout

"SUPRISE!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAGOME!!!"

She looked around the room in total shock. Behind the couch stood Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha. Next to them stood Sota with Shippou in his arms. On the other side of the room was her mom and grandpa. In front of her mom & grandpa was a long table full of different kinds of food, of course all of them were Kagome's favorite.

"What are all of you guys doing here? When? How?" Kagome was so shocked she couldn't believe that all of her friends from the feudal era were here except Kaede. Her mom decided it was time for Kagome to know how they got there.

"Kagome, dear. I think you need to sit down."

Kagome walked over to a chair,that was conviently set up in the middle of the room, and sat down. As soon as she did Shippou jumped into her lap and gave her a big hug.

"Happy birthday Kagome. Sorry that I couldn't get you anything, but we really didn't have time."

"Thank you Shippou. That's alright, all of you guys being here with me today is enough of a present for me. Is anyone gonna tell me how you guys got here? I mean as far as I know Inuyasha and I are the only ones able to go through the well."

"Well Kagome, you are right. Which is where I came in." said her mom.

Kagome gave her mom a confused look. (One of those what-on-earth-are-you-talking-about looks) Her mom laughed and went on to explain her idea and the letter she sent to Inuyasha.

"Oh I understand now. Thanx mom. This is the best birthday present anyone could give me, but somehow I don't think that is all."

"Again you are right,my daughter. Your true present is right here." As she was saying that Rei was walking over to a chest that sat to the right of Kagome's chair. She pushed the chest so that it was now in front of Kagome.

"Open it my dear."

Kagome opened the chest and gasped in shock at what she saw inside. There was the most beautiful sword she had ever saw.After she recovered from her shock she looked at her mom and asked:


"Mom where did you get this?"

"Kagome, I have had this since the day you were born. It was given to your father and I on the day of your birth by a very special and powerful person. They instructed us to keep it safe and hidden until your destiny was revealed. One year ago that very destiny that we were informed of was revealed. Your father and I decided long ago that you would recieve this sword on your 16th birthday. Your destiny is just beginning my daughter. Sango and Inuyasha have agreed to teach you how to fight using your sword. Also there is something else I must tell you. Kagome, you are NOT the reincarnation of Kikyo. No one else must know this though otherwise it will interfere with your true destiny. Those in this room are the people you trust the most, the people you trust with your life are they not?"

Kagome nodded so Rei contined.

"Kagome, this sword is your birthright as well as a gift from that person. I cannot reveal whom that person was but I can tell you that you will find out when the first part of your destiny is complete. Yes, I said the first part. You, my Kagome, are the most powerful miko to ever be born and to live. The only reason is simply because you have remained hidden from your destiny in order to keep you safe. You have mastered more of your miko skills than you have let on am I right?"

Again Kagome could only nod. 'How can mom know all of this??' she thought to herself.

"When the time comes,my child, everything will be known to you. You're memory shall return in due time. Until then remember to trust your dreams, they are more than just dreams, they are memories. Once the time is right your full memory will return and when that happens I will be waiting for you with more information. One more thing and then you and your friends must go for there is trouble in the Feudal Era. Kagome your father is still alive and quite well, he is waiting also for your memories to return so he can see you again. Plus you will learn new abilites each day, when you sleep you shall be trained to master your new skills, by the time you awake from sleep the next morning you will have mastered your new ability. Now you must go. The final battle is comming soon and you need to be trained with your sword. I love you Kagome and that is my gift to you."

"Thank you momma." Kagome said. She then ran upstairs to change.

"Rei, I will be back in a moment. I have to give her my gift." Yuma then proceeded to the stairs with a package in her hand.
When she got to Kagome's door she could hear her looking through her closet trying to figure out what she could wear that would be comfortable to wear with a sword. She knocked on the door and opened it after hearing Kagome's muffled "Come in."

"Kagome, I forgot to give you my gift. This actually goes along with the sword."

"What do you mean Aunt Yuma?"

"Open it and find out."

Kagome opened the package and took out a beautiful black fighting kimono. In the center of the kimono,front and back both, was a large midnight blue six point star, in the center of the star was the white diamond, and in the center of the white diamond was a pink teardrop. Kagome put the kimono on over her outfit she already had on. It fit her like a second skin. Mid-thigh was where the slits started and went down to just above her ankles. She put her hair up in a high ponytail and wrapped it all around so that it looked more like a bun. In the bottom of the package were 2 hair clips each shaped like the symbol on the kimono. Kagome put one on each side of the bun. She looked in the mirror and she squealed in delight. She ran to Yuma and gave her a hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you so much Aunt Yuma!"

"Kagome you look beautiful. My child, for you, this is my gift. Use it well."
