Kagome and Time

Ch.1 Time

A girl stepped out of a swirling blueish-purplish portal into the clearing and looked around. At the edge a small fire glowed, around it six figures sat together talking. The girl smiled sadly and walked toward the light. Her job was simple, she had done it for centuries. From almost the beginning of time. That was what she called herself, Time. For she was immune to it. Never changing, never dieing. "Time to meet the only other girl immune to time." Time whispered to herself and continued walking.

Kagome looked into the flames and thought of the test she had the next day. Math. Ugh.

"Kagome? Kagome? Hello." Sango's voice pulled her from her thoughts. She hadn't even heard Sango call her name. "Sometimes I think you drift off to another world. Really, stay in this time for awhile." Sango told her, rolling her eyes.

"Sorry, I probably do though what did you ask?"

"I said that-" Suddenly a ball of fire was thrown at us and Inuyasha jumped up and pulled out his tetsuiga,which transformed immediately.

"Who are you?" He called into the clearing. Suddenly a a young girl in white appeared. Blond curling hair cascaded down her shoulders, blue ice eyes stared at us, and a shining light silver sword was held lightly in her hand.

"My name is Time. I am here for a friend." Her eyes glittered lightly and with a wave of her hand a swirl of purple and blue a portal opened and Time stepped through. For a moment she was gone then appeared right behind Inuyasha and sliced him quickly with her sword then jumped back through the portal and did the same with everyone else except Kagome. When everyone else was down Time stepped through the portal and disappeared. Kagome looked around herself quickly. Suddenly Time appeared behind her. She turned around quickly with a gasp. Time smiled sweetly and pulled Kagome through with a quiet laugh."You need to know." Time whispered. The purple and blue swirled around them and then Kagome was thrown out in the clearing. But it had changed. The grass had been burned to their roots and the trees had claw marks across the trunks. Everything looked old.

"What happened?" Kagome whispered to herself. She had only been gone a second, hadn't she? She remembered Meroku telling her to run, but Time was fast and had pulled her through. "Where am I?"

Kagome started walking and ended up in Lady Kaede's village. Things had changed here too. Kagome stopped by two villagers."Excuse me, my name is- is- Syno. I'm here to speak with Lady Kaede. Where may I find her?"

"Ma'am," began the first."Mistress Kaede died twenty years ago."

"How could you not have known?" Asked the other.

"I'm from another country." Kagome replied, startled."Lady Kaede was my grandmother. I didn't know." That was only a partial lie. Even if lieing seemed wrong the news of Kaede's death came as a shock."May I see her remains?" Kagome whispered

"Of course Lady Syno. This way." The villagers led her up to the shrine of Kikyo, where Kaede seemed to rest too. Beside Kikyo's grave lay another one, Kaede's, and at last the two sisters would spend time together. But one other person was there too. A half demon stood in front of the two graves, paying his respects, Kagome hoped, until she saw him clearly. Long white hair grew from his head and white dog ears did too. She could see his claws as clearly as his red gi."Master Inuyasha, would you mind please leaving so Lady Syno can pay her respects to her grandmother." The first villager hesitantly.

"Why should I? I've had nothing to do since Kagome disappeared thirty years ago. I couldn't find the jewel shards because I couldn't see them." Inuyasha said bitterly. Then he turned and let out a gasp."Ka- Kagome." He whispered.

"This is her?" The villagers asked startled. "But, she hasn't aged at all in thirty years!"

"Thirty years?"Kagome asked startled. Inuyasha stepped toward her, and after seeing the black necklace still around his neck shouted "Sit!" then ran back through the village to get away. something was wrong. How could time have gone on without me? She thought. Kagome ran and ran and got to a river and stopped. She looked at her reflection, nothing about her had changed. But Inuyasha had aged a great deal. He had grown up in the last thirty years."Time!" Kagome called into air, which had chilled a bit."Come here! We need to talk. Now!" Kagome sighed and turned around, running right into Time.

"You called?" Time asked.

"What happened? Where am I? I don't understand. Who are you?" Kagome asked in panic."Thirty years?" She may not have understood what had happened, but she knew where the fault belonged.

"Dear child, you know who I am. My name is Time. As for what happened I sent you forward thirty years in time. As for where you're four hundred and seventy years in the past in Feudal Japan. Now let me tell you about myself. You know my name, Time, but what you don't know is I'm as old as time itself. Well, a bit younger if truth be told. I was the first girl ever born, after Eve of course. I work for the creator, I show people how things would go without them. I fix breakups or friendships. I restore the time sequence. You, dear child, hold your friends together. You are here to help them. Go to the Demon Slayers village, Sango's old home. The Temple of Monks, Meroku and Shippo's home. Inuyasha you can find if you follow your heart and head. When things are done I'll send you home. Okay? Goodbye and good luck!" With that the wind picked up and Time was gone.

"Come back!" Kagome shouted into the air but Time was gone, so she started walking toward the old Demon Slayers village.
