Chapter 5 :
Presentation and truth
Kagome walk in the long corridor. She is a little nervous to know their decision. Will they accept her help or will they try to kill her instead ? She really don't know… The only thing she knows is that even the presence of the two wolfs will not be enough to prevent her death if the Lords want it…
For now, she just follows Jaken who leads her towards the reunion room again.
Shippo, perch on her shoulder can feel her nervousness and it's not help him to calm down himself. To be in the castle of the powerfull and frightening daiyoukai, Lord of the Western Lands is already a traumatic situation for the young kitsune but if his protector, his mother figure is uneasy too….it's make him more afraid. Just let hope everything will be ok.

Some minutes after running out to seek the miko, Jaken, following by the three un-wanted « guest » arrive in front of the diner room. Kagome, with her bag still on her back and Shippo and Kirara on each shoulder, enter the room.
She walk toward the table and stop
- What is your decision, Sesshomaru ? I just want you to know that even if you say no, I will not go back until everything end. It is my mission, again, and I will do it alone if necessary.
Kagome said to them, prying that her voice didn't show the obvious : she fears for her life. Even if she have a lot of power now, she doesn't control them so if they decide to kill her, they can do it easily. But she is not alone…she just hope that she didn't jeopardize the life of Shippo when she let him come with her, Kirara too…So she tried to appear sure of herself and her ability to protect them even against powerfull youkais like the demon lords.
It seems that her little acting was enough because they don't seem to see that she is afraid…or at least they do like they didn't see or fell it.
- Human, we would like to know some things about your past
- Kagome ( she turns towards the wolfs) they would like to know how everything start, the quest,… I acknowledge that I'm curious too.
She is a little more decontract…they don't want to kill her….yet
- There are some things…I'm not sure I can speak about them without put my familly and my only way to see them in danger. Really little know this secret. Except my family there is only Shippo, Kirara and Kaede-sama who know…beside them, the only others who one day known are now…all dead. I know I can put my confidence in Kouga-kun and Ayame and it is time to you to know really who i am … Even you Sesshomaru, I know that if you say you will keep the secret and don't use it against me, your honor will prevent you to do anything and you will keep your world … but how can I be sure the others will not use the information ? Sesshomaru can you assure me that everything I will say will never be used against me ?
- Miko, nothing that you will say here will come out of this room. For the others, ask them. I can take the responsability of their acts. It is your choice.
She raise her glance towards the demon lord of the west and he nodds quietly.
- Ok, Sesshomaru. Thank you for your honestly
- May be we should present ourselves to you before you start your story. Propose the pregnant youkai.
Kagome nodd. Some seconds passed in silence
- It seems that I have to start. My name is Kira, Lady of the Northern Lands.
It is a bear youkai. She had long back hair and the most hypnotising and piercing blue eyes of the world. They are really clear, more close to white than blue. She wore a red kimono which make her hair and eyes more breathtaking. And of course, she is pregnant.
- Hiro, Lord of the Northern Lands.
He is a bear youkai too. The difference is that his eyes are brown…or more pecisely almost black. But, they seems to eld some kindness if not then he would even more frightening.
- Murco, Lord of the Southern Lands
- Kugayi, Lady of the Southern Lands
- Lady of the Easthern Lands
- Lord of the Easthern Lands
- Hanto, Heir of the Southern Lands
The southern family seems to be birds youkais, really frightened birds youkai. For the easthern lands, kagome doesn't what kind of youkai they are, but really cold looking one. They don't even tell their name to her. Not really a good sign.
She acknowledges every of them, politely. She can feel the hate from some of them that make her shivere but she ignore it. It is not a new thing. Most of youkais never jump from happiness when they are in the same room than a miko.
- It is an honor to meet everyone of you.
So, if you agree to keep who I really am, than I can start.
They agree.
- Ok. But I have to prevent you. You risk to have some difficulties to believe me but it is the truth.
Shippo and Kirara jump on the table and sit just before Ayame and Kouga. Kagome put her big yellow bag close to her on the ground and start
- So, before I start, don't interupt me to say that you don't believe me or else. If you have questions, I will answer gladly.
They all nodd (all but not Sesshomaru, of course)
- The simplest is for me to relate how I meet all my travel companions and the others who are here. But it is best if I start from the beginning.
The clothes I wear are nothing strange or anything you can think … This is the standard uniform which is wear by all the girl who go to school across all the Japan. Every young school girl wear it.
Murmur
- the explaination is that I live … or more simpler here it is the Feodal Era, the Sangoku Jidai. In others worlds approximatly 500 years before I was born. I… I come from the future. The 21th century to be more precise. Oh and, in my time, there is not youkais or hanyous only humans… The dominant race on the Earth.
- She is crazy - liar -…
- It's the truth ! yell Shippo
Calmly, Kagome go on
- Let me finish to explain before say anything. So, like I say, no youkai in my time. Youkais are just in stories which are tell to the children, … a myth. Even me, before arrived here, before my 15th birthday, I was sure that you aren't real, you don't exist, only on the imagination. No one know that you one day have really exist.
So, I live in a shrine own by my familly, my grand father, my mother and my brother. The shrine will be exactly where today is InuYasha forest. The tree where he was pinned during fifty years is one of the last thing still there in my time. This is the sacred tree of my family. The other thing is an old well. Today, it is in the middle of a clearing…it is named the bone eater well. In my time, it is in a batiment scelled…or at least which was scelled before everything start. This is the two only link between the two times. The Miko, who was the previous guardian of the Shikon no Tama, is the one who pinned InuYasha. She was too the undead miko who was bring back by Urusae. The youkai witch couldn't revive totaly the miko because she was already re-incarnate so she had to steal the soul of the deads.
- How she can be reincarnate in this little time ?
- No, smile sadly Kagome, KiKyo was…I'm her reincarnation. To be able to walk on the earth again, she carried a part of my soul
- Why does she pin the half-breed ?
She wince a little at the worlds « half-breed » but
- It was because of Naraku
Stunny face
- At this moment, he was not aleady Naraku, but an human bandit Onigumo. He was burned and he hid in a cave. Kikyo take care of his wounds. Onigumo lusted after her. But she loved InuYasha like… he her (she drop her head)
- But that was not the same since she wanted him to become human with the jewel. Says Shippo
Kagome smiles sadly to him before go on
- Onigumo was jealous so he let his body being eat by hundreds low youkais and become Naraku. He attacked InuYasha transforming in Kikyo and the same for her. He wanted to taint the jewel but Before dying she ask to her little sister, kaede to burn her body with the jewel so that it will stay pure. I suppose it is why the jewel appear in my body, but I don't really understand
- How you come to come here ? ask Ayame
- The day of my 15th birthday, just before school, I saw my brother close to the house of the well. I went in to go seek my cat, Buyo. But when I entered the house, the scells rompted and a centipede youkai catch me and throw me down the well with her. When I climbed out of the well, I was in a clearing. I was perturbed to not see the shrine so I looked around and saw the sacred tree. I run towards it. It is at this moment that I saw InuYasha, pinned at the base of the tree, he was sleeping. The first thing I did ( she smile) was to touch his ears to see if they was real. Some villagers come and attacked me because they through I was a youkai because of my clothes. But Kaede release me. The centipede youkai come again after me yelling that I have to give her the jewel. I didn't understand what she was talking about but she started to destroy the village so I run towards the forest. When I passed before him, InuYasha was awaked and didn't stop to call me Kikyo here Kikyo there, how I betrayed him. I become angry and yell that I didn't know any Kikyo. At this moment He understood and asked me to release him when the centipede arrived. The youkai bit my side and the jewel come out. I release InuYasha and he killed easy the centipede. But after he attacked me.
- InuYasha try to kill you ? (Shippo)
- Hai. And more than once. I run with the jewel at a moment if I hadn't fall, I can had been cut in half by him. Kaede arrived and put a necklace around his neck so that I could subdue him
- I loved that necklace
- Hai, I saw it Shippo. You even provoque him to attack you so I had to cried « OSWARI » (Shippo and Kagome at the same time) to save you.
She smile, but it disappear rapidly
- After some attacks, a corbel youkai humans eater took the jewel so for the first time of my life I used a arrow but it touch not only the youkai but also the jewel, shatting it.
She paused to see if some one will say something. When no sound arrived she go on
- After InuYasha compared me again and again with Kikyo, say I was stupid and he didn't like my smell - which I learn after that it was the opposite - that he had not use of me I become angry sit him and I ran home
To resume, I was eating with my family when he come in my house yelling that I have to go back that I have no right to leave
My mother did exactly the same thing than me and touch his ears.
Don't look at me like that, I couldn't help his ears was so cute so fuzzy so…
My brother was overexciting about him being a half demon and all. After that, He became his new hero. (Kagome smiles) He called him Inu no - ni - chan all the time.
And my grand father tried to make him disappeared with his ofudas, which really didn't work, but my gramps don't understand it. It is at this moment that we started to travel together to collected the jewel shards.
The first one we met, beside the demons wanting the jewel, was you, Sesshomaru.
Can I relate some part of the story or you prefer do it
Silence
- To make short, Sesshomaru wanted the Tessaiga, the sword left to InuYasha by his father, since Sesshomaru received the Tensaiga. He trapped InuYasha to discovered the place of Inu no Taisho's tomb. The way to go there was in the right eye of InuYasha. Sesshomaru went first with Jaken and we followed. Sesshomaru can't touch the sword because of the protecting spell on it. She was created to protect, protect InuYasha mother so humans. InuYasha can touch it but don't descelled it. It's me, by accident, who took the sword when Sesshomaru start to win against InuYasha. I will always remember to face of Jaken and Sesshomaru as well when I took the sword. At that, Sesshomaru like he acknoledged my presence for the first time, throwed at me some of his poison. It is the first time that he tried to kill me and not the last one (with a timid smile)
A lot of them gasped when she speak about the poison
- But the Tessaiga protect me.
After coming out of the stomac of InuTaisho, Sesshomaru was in his true form, a enormous white dog. InuYasha said that he will protect me and that transform the sword in a big fang, the true form of Tessaiga. (some of the Lords look rapidly the sword exposed before returning their glance on the miko) During this fight, InuYasha cutted the left arm of Sesshomaru.
Silence. Neither of Lords dare to look at the demon Lord of the Western Lands.
- Some times later, we come across a little kitsune
- Hey, that's me !
- Yeah Shippo that was you. His father was killed by the thunder brothers because of shards. Shippo stole mine to use it to revenge his father. When the brothers attacked I tried to protect Shippo and one of them kidnapped me. With InuYasha, we succeed to kill the two brothers and Shippo start to travel with us.
- But InuYasha was not really happy about that
- Hai, but at this moment I did'nt care if he liked it or not. You was alone, a orphan and I certanly couldn't leave you.
Some adventures later, we come across a monk, Miroku. In fact he fell on me. He wanted the shards I posseded and he kidnapped me, the bonus prize. A monk…Hummmph, a pervert, yes !
After InuYasha saved me, Miruku-sama explained to us that Naraku cursed his grand-father and all his descendant by a kasaana. The hole in the palm of his hand can trap anything in it, but one day it aspire its own host in it. His grand father died like that, like his father, who died in front of his son…It is like that the hentai come with us.
After, ….Oh I almost forgot, I'm sorry. I was kidnapped, I know what you think again, by wolves. (she smile). When I woke up I was in a cave, or a dent, with wolves all around me. Shippo was frightened, like me. And one of them, a wolf youkai spoke to me. Kouga. For start I almost ended like a meal for the wolves but after they known I can see the shards, they wanted that I help.
Kouga glubbed.
She smile at him
- don't worry Kouga-kun
So he changed his mind and wanted me like his mate. InuYasha come and we killed the paradise birds. It is at this moment that Ginka and Hakkaku start to call me sister.
After that, each time we come across Kouga, with InuYasha they fighted.
Kouga smile at the souvenir.
- Some times later, we come across a demon slayer. She tried to kill InuYasha because Naraku after make her little brother to kill all the slayers and almost Sango and in another hand prevent youkais that the slayers village was ungarded, he said to her that it was InuYasha who killed all the villagers. Kohaku, her brother, died during the fight and Naraku revived him, using a jewel shard that he had tainted to controlled him.
Sango-chan was really injured but Naraku gave her a shard so she didn't fell the pain. InuYasha didn't fight back, just maintain a distance. We succeed to make her understood that she was manipulated and we asked her if she wanted to travel with us. She was ashamed to have attack us but she eventually accept.
A little earlier before met her, we passed her village and we burred all the people and we found Kirara, the only surviving.
Naraku was a specialist to control the others emotions. After two years of battle and hunt we killed him. I have to say I don't remember what exactly happened during this fight. After InuYasha fall by saving you Sesshomaru, everything is a blur. All I know was what the others said to me. After all that happened, I come back home.
Come back here, was to difficult for me and with the jewel in me again I could risk that someone take it, since I'm alone now.
She take a profound inspiration
A week after I come back in my time…InuYasha come for the first time to see me to say to me that Sango-chan and Miroku-sama….
Shippo come in her arms
Time passed and he come sometimes to speak to me, to comfort me.
Tend ays ago, he said that I have to move on and make me promised three things. One of them was to me to come here precisely today to speak to Sesshomaru.
Silence.
- How can web e sure that this story of future is real ?
Shippo start to be agited and he jump on the table to be face to face with her
- Kagome ! Kagome !
She look at him
- Do you have this thing of your time. You know the thing you used to make us see your house once ?
- My portable ?
- Hai !
- Yes, I think I have it in my bag. Good idea Shippo !
He puff proundly making her giggles
She excavates her bag during at least two minutes before found it and show it happily.
- But only one or two person will can watch the images. The sreen is too small. The others will have to just listen.
They nodded.
- Can I watch ? (Lady of the North)
- Hai (smiling gently to her). Just let me turn on it
- What is that thing ?
- Oh, it is a telephone portable. A telephone is a machin with which you can speak with any other people who have one too, even if the person is really far, even others countries. You just have to know the number of the other phone. You can speack to the person like if she is in the same place than you.
Today, they can take pictures and even make films. A photo can be compare to a paint but it instantaneous. A film is the recording of a lot of pictures with the sound too. It is really difficult to explain
They all look at her like she was crazy
- Ok, may be it is simpler if I show you
Tha lady of the Northern lands sit with her mate close to her. Ayame and kouga stand just behind them to try to see the world of their young miko friend.
- here, it is a video a make at my house a little time before the last fight. Push this button when you are ready.
She take a chair and Shippo and Kirara settle on her lap.
The youkais are really nervous.
The video start :
8888888888888888888888
- Hi guys ! it's Kagome like you can see. That's my bedroom. My bed, my desk,…
- oy, wench
- InuYasha
- What are you doing wench ? You are late !
- Yeah, yeah I know InuYasha but the food are not ready and I wanted to make this video for Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kaede back to the feodal era. They can't come here in my time so I make this surprise for them, since you are the only one who can travel throw the well.
- Whatever. Hurry the shards don't wait. We have to found the last ones before Naraku.
- Naraku (at the same time) I know. You don't stop to repeat that.
- But you still seems to don't understand. You are always late…(he cuts his speech himself) What is this thing ?
- Like I say, but you never listen to me, I make a video for the others. And that thing like you say is my gift from my oncle Aki. It's a portable telephone. The same thing like the yellow one close to the kitchen but this one you can carry it everywhere….but I will not use it a lot since I am all the time in the past…
- Sister, you… Inu no nichan you are here !
But InuYasha don't have the time to react before that Souta jump on him and embrace him quickly
He takes his hand
- Come with me. Uncle Aki send me a new video game. Come, come
And he draw him out of the bedroom.
- Kagome, murmur desesperently InuYasha
When they close the door behind them she giggles
- so, guys this was my little brother souta and if you did see it InuYasha is his super hero, she says grinning
What I was saying…oh yes I will do a little turn of my house.
So, here, it is the bathroom. Don't hate me Sango (she giggles) That is the bedroom of my brother, here my mother's, and there my grand father.
This is the living room. I know there is a lot of strange things for you guys so you can ask questions when you will watch this film.
Oh, and this is my mother. Hi, mom !
- Hi Kagome….what are you doing with your phone ?
- I make a video for the others back to feodal era since they can come here
- That's really sweet, my dear. Hey ! Will you do it for us too. I would really like to see your friends back there
- Sure mom
- Thanks a lot
At this moment, Souta and InuYasha come back from Souta's room.
- don't be mad Inu no ni chan. You are not gifted for video game that's all
- keh ! (he says crossing his arms on his cest)
Kagome grin
- let me guess, you lost ? she asks innoscently
- yeah, twice and now he don't want to play again at this game. Bad loser !
InuYasha groawls and Kagome giggles. Watching them, Kagome's mother smile.
- good morning, InuYasha
- `morning
Kagome exit the house and arrive towards the tree.
- And here guys, it is the sacred tree. A little bigger than like you know him, ne ? The sacred tree of my familly and the tree of InuYasha….
- A very important tree for our family
Kagome : eeep !
- Mom ! I don't hear you come
- Sorry to surprise you Kagome dear
- It's all right
- Can I say something to your friends, Kagome ?
- Sure
- So, Kaede-sama, houshi-sama, Sango and Shippo-chan, hi. So like I said, this tree is really important, beside being sacred for our shrine, he is also for the Higurashi. It's under that tree that I see Kagome's father for the first time
- Really ?
- Hai. It's under that tree that we have our first kiss, it is where we married. (she smile) It's here that Kagome start to walk, Souta too. It is a pleasant place…I remember something. When Kagome was a little girl, she was really energic and she climbed on trees all the time.
- Oh no Mom, please don't do that
She smiles again but don't stop
- And more precisely this one. She said that he was magic and may be he could help her to be close to her father
- I don't remember this part….are you sure, Mom ?
- Hai. You said that your father could see you better from the heaven because of the magie of the tree. So one day, you decided to live in this tree
- Ouch…Are you sure that you want to tell them that….it is really embarrassing
- But it is little things like that , that make you, you, my dear.
So…Oh yes, you decided to stay in the tree and you climbed the most hight you could. You staid in here for hours and you was almost asleep when your brother come to seek you. When he cried that diner was on the table you almost fall from the tree, hanging up only by your legs
- Yeah and she was wearring a dress which raised almost on your head because you was upside down. Never more laugh in my life !
- Souta ! she says turning around
He laugh like mad making the mother smile
- That was one of the most humiliating day of my life ! and I refused to climb in a tree again for one year !
Oh, my…I can already heard the comments of Miroku-sama… I prevent you if you say one thing when you will watch this video I swear you will never have to ask again at any girl to bear your child for a reason you really don't want to know, got it ?
- You really think it is necessary to menace your friend ? You really thing He will mock you ?
- Who, Miroku ? I think I can already hear him grin from here, this pervert ! I still don't understand how he can be a monk, gropping every girl he come across
- Your friend is strange…but you was only a little girl at this moment !
- And you think that can stop him ?! Hell we saw him one day ask a girl who didn't seems to be more old than Rin !
- Who is Rin ?
- Oh it is a little girl who lives back in the past, very sweet. I think she can have approximatly the age of Souta
- You mean he ask to…
- Yeah, things are really different in the past. Girls are married really earlier than here but that was to much. Don't worry with Sango-chan we make him understand (grinning). He is really a nice guy if you put apart his hentai side. Don't worry, he is innofensive
- Ok…I trust your judgement
- Thanks mom
- You would go eat your breakfast and finish to prepare your things. InuYasha must wait and finish to eat by now.
- Yeah, but I have to finish the visit and I still don't film grand pa
- Sis, I can do that
- What do you mean, Souta ? suspiciousely
- I can finish the visit since you eat your breackfast with Inu oniichan
- Ok little brother, but be careful with my phone
- I hate when you call me that, poutting
- I know, that's why I like it so much. She says, giving the cell phone.
- You are evil, you know that ?
She grins.
- thanks, Souta. She says, running towards the house
He laugh quietly. Sometimes, his sister is more childish than him.
- So Souta, you want to start from where ? ask his mother
- I thinking….
But he is cut in his speech by a loud noise. They look each other and say at the same time : Grand pa
He runs towards the noise came from, where the old things of the shrine are stocked.
- Are you ok, Grand pa ?
The old man is on the ground, with some pieces of which seems to have being a vase, crying like a baby.
When he raise his eye toward the door and spot Souta, he stops
- What are you doing with the gift of your sister ?
- She makes a video for the others from the past, her friends from the other side of the well since they can't come here like Inu onii chan. She is in the kitchen with InuYasha so I continue the visit for her. You want to say something, Gramps ?
- I have nothing to say… just Hello and protect well my only grand daugther
- Inu no ni chan is here for that, he is really strong
- Yeah, this demon…
- And don't worry, Kagome is really strong too…but don't say to her that I say that
With that, he leaves to continue the visit.
- So there, it is where the well is
He approachs slowly but don't go down by the stairs…rapidly, he turn around and go out the house of the well and he stops and starts :
- you know, it's my fault that everything happened. It's because I was afraid that onee-chan went close to the well to seek Buyo…and this demon caught her and dragued her to the other side…In one way, I'm happy since she free Inu onii chan and by that he could come here, but…
- Don't worry Souta
He turn around to see his mother
- But it's all my fault…She could have…One day she could not come back and i twill be only my fault !
- Don't say that
- But that's true. She is in danger because of me. I can't understand why she…
But his words died in his throat.
- She will never be mad at you for that, Souta. Even if you tease each other and sometimes fight, she loves you. Your sister could do anything for you even if she likes to make you angry. She could never be angry at you even when she is angry (she smile quietly)
He comes to her and huge her.
- You think she can pardon me ?
- Souta I don't see for what she would pardon you. It was her destiny to travel to the past through the old well or InuYasha would still be pinned to the sacred tree. And you know she can be mad to someone very long, you see the evidence with InuYasha. Don't worry sweetheart. But if you are not sure, you can go ask her…
- What ?! No, never !
- It's not a crime to care for your big sister, you don't have to be ashamed
- May be but never I will say or ask something like that ! ne-ver !
- Like she can't say things like that to you too
- Yeah, that's the rule, never say something or speak a bout things like that
- But that's your sister
- That's why !
- Ok, ok, I give up. Can we go to see if she finish her breackfast.
When they arrived, InuYasha is on the floor, playing with Buyo and Kagome finish to put the last things in her famous big yellow bag. She turn around towards her brother
- Have you finish Souta ?
- Yeah. Grand pa didn't want to speak. He just said hello and to protect you. But I say to him that Inu Onii chan is there for that so he can be in peace.
- Fortunetely that I'm here or she would have been dead already !
She fulminates
- Like you, so we are quite !
- I don't need protection wench but you, you are too stupid to protect yourself
- InuYasha….Oswari !!
He falls, face against his best friend the Earth.
She walk and passing him, add :
- Baka !
When the spell broke : - What's that for wench ?
She ignores him et continue to walk towards the well.
He doesn't move. He waited an other sit but it never came. He was leave alone.
- Oi, Kagome
She still ignores him, trying to calm down and :
- Sorry guys but like you can see, even here, InuYasha is still an idiot and a, a…
She is so angry that she can speak. At this moment, before InuYasha answers something, stupid like always, Souta jumps on him to say good bye.
They exchange their good bye (or more precisely everyone beside our hanyou friend).
- So, we see you on the other side so I end the video there to be sure to not broke my cell phone. Bye.
End of the first video.
88888888888888888
Kagome doesn't move from her chair. She seems lost in her throughs. Everyone look at her when waves of emotions wash on her leading the young miko close to tears.
After a moment, she raise her head, her eyes still not really focused.
- Kagome, are you alright ?
- Hai, don't worry Kouga-kun
- Did you…did you make this other video like you said in this one ?
888888888888888888
