Last Time

“Excuse I miss but I need to know what your name is.” A voice said softly behind her.
Kagome turned around to see a beautiful young woman dresses in golden robes and large white wings. She stared in wonder at the beauty of the creature in front of her. “My name?” she questioned back not quite understanding what this creature of wonder was asking of her.

This Time

“Yes little one I need to know your name.” the beauty in front of her stated.
Kagome stared at her a minute or two before she was able to speak again. “I don’t understand. Why would you need to know what my name is?” she asked confused.
The creature in front of her smiled at her softly. Causing her to appear even more beautiful if that was even possible, picked something up out of thin air and glided over toward her. Kagome stood astounded staring at the beauty now directly in front of her she didn’t even see her feet move it was as she floated over to her. “How did you do that? Float over to me? And who are you.” she asked taken back by the action.
“My name is André, little one, the keeper of the ‘Book of Life’. Those whose names are in this book are allowed entrance to heaven.” The beauty said softly as to not scare the woman-child in front of her.
Abruptly recognition donned on Kagome’s face. Automatically her eyes went wide with surprise or fear André couldn’t tell. “Y…you….mean t..that..you’re…. the G…..g…guardian A…angel of the……. Heavens!” she stuttered her voice weak. André gave a short and brief nod yes. “Higurashi…. My...n..name is Kagome…. Higurashi.” she whispered softly almost afraid to hear what this angel of goodness would say when she read her life file and about all of the innocent demons and humans she had willingly killed for her so called ‘Master’.
André gave her a soft and hopeful smile as she drew the object that she had picked up out of thin air up from her side in front of her. It was then that Kagome realized that the object was a book a very old but elegant golden leather bound book. She flipped through a few pages before she stopped and began to read her eyes growing wide with surprise as she continued to read. Finally she looked up her eyes sad slowly she closed the book. “It seems that you had- have a pure soul and by all rights you should be able to enter Heaven but…..” she paused as if she began to drift off into her own little world. Just as suddenly as she had begun to drift away she jerked back to herself. “It seems that the ‘Big Man’ is considering you a special case. He wishes to see you.” No sooner had those words left the angel’s mouth than everything around her began to shift and change. The vast bright and pleasant atmosphere gave way and a large room filled its place. The walls were a soft shade of blue and flush carpet replaced the grass under her feet. Confused she looked to her right where André was only to find that she was not there instead she found herself looking at a large oak desk that stood well over three feet tall, and a older middle aged man sitting behind it. He wore a completely white business suit and had long shoulder length bark brown hair, and soft gentle brown eyes. “You are Kagome Higurashi are you not.” It was more of a statement than a question really but she answered anyway.
“Yes. I’m Kagome.” She whispered quietly fear radiating off her horribly. Is he who I thing he is and if so is he now going to sent me to Hell? Kami knows I deserve it though after all the horrible things that I’ve done. She thought to herself quietly watching the magnificent figure in front of her.
“Your record is quite horrible Kagome. You’ve killed countless innocents without second thought, stolen and plundered numerous villages without due reason, and you’ve deceived many people without a care of their feelings. And all of these things you did for someone who is the exact opposite of what you are and what you believe in. You have a pure heart and soul why would ever wish to defile yourself so?” He asked softly watching the young woman in front of him as she now refused to look his way.
It took Kagome several minutes before she managed to find her voice again and even then it was weak and fragile “It was all part of my bargain with him Kami-sama. My friends got what they wanted most and he got what he wanted most…..Me.” she whispered refusing to look at him and expose him to her evils. “I just wanted them to be happy no matter the sacrifice that I had to make.” She added quietly as tears began to fall down her cheeks and then onto the thick carpet.
“Did you accomplish what you wanted?” he asked watching her face and the emotion showing through her tears knowing that it was all true. She wasn’t capable of lying as least not to him.
“I don’t know Kami-sama I left my friends before I could find out.” Her voice was barely more than a whisper. “I simply wanted to watch over them. For two years I had to watch as they suffered because of him. I got tired of it and wanted to remove everything that could possibly harm them anymore….. They protected me for so long I just wanted to…… to just once guard them in return….. Watch over them.” She jerked her head up to look up at him allowing him to fully see the tears flowing down her face, the sadness of her decision, the anger of what she had to go through to make them happy, but there was also something that he didn’t see; the regret of her choice of sides “I don’t regret what I decided that I had to do. I’m saddened that that was my only opinion but if I had to do it all over again and I had a choice to escape the pain and horror that I’ve experienced the last two years. I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t do anything different if I could do it all over again that’s just how much I love them.” She explained gently as she wiped away the tears that remained on her face. Kagome brushed her bangs out of her eyes and looked up at the majestic creature sitting in front of her. She half expected him to be angrily or upset with her but strangely enough It appeared that he felt the exact opposite he was smiling and not only his lips but his whole face was lit up with happiness.
“Child you are something else no matter how hard thing are for you you always stay loyal to your friends. You do have a pure heart but it’s your horrible sins that are keeping you from entering paradise. However I believe that if you were given the chance that you would be able to make up for your sins. It is your choice and your choice alone but know this is you decide to do this you will be at my command and mine only. You will follow and carry out all my orders. That is not all however you will be forced to walk the earth until every last one of you sins is repaid.” He paused when he notice the confused look cross her face.
“I don’t understand! What are you saying? That I can be forgiven. For all of those horrid things that I did you are willing to let someone---something like me in Heaven!” Kagome shook her head violently trying desperately to simply wish it all away “No it’s not possible. There’s no way for me to redeem myself. I can’t! I don’t deserve it!” she cried out as she covered her face with her hands once again began to cry.
Slowly Kami got up out of his seat and walked over and gathered her into his arms stroking her long rave locks “Hush child. Hush I wish not to hear you cry. It breaks my heart to see you like this” He said soothingly trying to calm the crying girl. Finally after what seemed like forever her quiet sobs were replaced with hiccups before they too began to fade. After she had quieted he placed his index finger and thumb under her chin and gently lifted her head up to look at him. With his other hand he wiped away the lingering tears from her face. Her eyes were filled with sadness and hopelessness she seemed to be searching his face as if trying to see if what he said was really true or if she was already in Hell and that this was her punishment. “If not you then who else Kagome tell me who deserves such a precious gift as what I’m offering you? You have proven that you are one of trust and loyalty that you would give up anything to make those around you happy even if it means giving up your own happiness. I can think of no other person who deserves this.” He asked her. “Close your eyes child and seek inside yourself and then tell me what you find. Tell me then that you don’t want this gift that I’m offering you.”
Almost as if it was a compulsion she did as he commanded slowly she closed her eyes and looked deep inside her very core. At first all she found was a large mass of dark violence and anguish, but then she caught a slight glance of what he meant by, pure heart and soul, she saw it only for a second but that one second was enough. With a strong surge of faith she plunged deep into the darkness and pushed through withal her might in search of that small bit of goodness and pureness that she knew she saw and that Kami said was there, but the darkness was too harsh and the dark began trying to drag her into it for all eternity. Abruptly she was jerked back to the surface of reality. “It’s there I saw it….Kami-sama I saw it….but it was covered up and buried deep in utter darkness violence and anger…..my violence and anger….” She murmured astonished at the new little fact. She looked up at him but he didn’t say a word rather he let her figure out things for herself. “And my soul can’t be recognized because of the black void covering up my soul is that right?” she asked softly confused “But how will this gift help with that?”
Slowly Kami let her go and held her at arms length so that he could look at her fully. “Child my gift isn’t one to be taken likely. You will become a Guardian Angel or rather a Dark one until your dark void is clear. You’ll have to travel the earth in search of lost souls and try helping them. The manner and magnitude in which you help them is of great importance. The more to can truly help them the greater the reward or rather the larger the part of your void is disguised. Is this what you want? It is your choice as is all things?” he questioned watching her intently hoping she would choose right.
“I’ll be helping others like myself. People who need guarding and guidance. Then my answer is yes. I ask for your gift. I don’t quite understand all this but I know of what lies inside me now I know of my potential and if doing this means that I can overcome what someone else turn me into then I’ll willingly fight for it.” She stated strongly as if ready to take on the world empty handed
“Know that occasionally I’ll send you to a pour soul that really needs your help. If that happens you’ll have to drop everything and go right then. Understand?” He asked concerned she didn’t quite comprehend what he was telling her. When she nodded her head slowly he gave her a pleased smile. “Good choice My Child. Now close your eyes and I’ll give you what you need for your long days ahead. Quickly she complied closing her eyes lightly.
Suddenly she felt several things change inside her all at once however she did not open her eyes trusting him with her life. She felt her clothes become lighter and lesser weighted down as if the material that made them up was a light as a feather. She felt something soft brush against her backside and then her body it’s self became lighter. The changes were uneasily and slightly frightening then just as the strange feelings began they disappeared. “Alright Child you may open you eyes.” His voice was soft and gentle.
She opened them eagerly ready to see what ever it was he had to show her. But what she saw surprised her tremendously. Her clothes were a beautiful blue and white long ankle skirt and tunic with soft leather sandals. She felt the soft brush of feathers against her backside again and turned her head to the side slightly to see beautiful black white tipped angel wings. She looked up at Kami her eyes sparkling like a child at Christmas time. “This is my gift! I’m a guardian angel?” she cried gleefully as she twisted this way and that trying to get a really good look at her new wardrobe and appendages.
“Correction child you are a Dark Guardian Angel but a Guardian Angel none the less. Your new clothes and wings aren’t all that you have acquired in choosing the path that you have. You now also have strong magical healing and many other angelic powers; these powers are so that you may be able to comfort and protect you ward(s)." he stated softly and hugged her to him one last time. Slowly he pulled her away "It's time for you to go child. the blackness on your wings will tell you just how much of the void you have left to destroy if you happen to do something evil and your wings turn fully black you'll go straight to hell understand?" he asked holding onto her shoulders as he spoke to her. Slowly she nodded her head in understanding. Smiling softly he bent down and kissed her forehead. “Safe travels My child.”
