Chapter One: Father
"InuYasha, I'm going to go home for a while k'?" Kagome said in a strangely cheerful mood. "I have to spend the day with my family because it's my----""Like hell you are wench!!!" InuYasha yelled jumping down from a tree. "You're staying here, I've herd a rumor about a shikon shard near by and the last thing we need is our shard detector gone for a week!!!"
He fallowed her all the way to the end of the village complaining. "You're not going; we have to investigate that rumor." "InuYasha," she said calmly. "Do me a favor." "What?" ".SIT!!!" InuYasha did a nose dive into the ground. "What the hell; what was that for wench!!!" Kagome ignored him and kept walking.
She was just about at the well when she began to feel oddly drowsy. She had but one thought before she fell unconscious, 'A demon, I sense a demon!' Kagome hit the ground with a loud thump.
A demon walked out of the woods and knelt down next to Kagome; he placed his hands just above her and began to chant something not very understandable; Kagome's eyes opened for a brief moment and then closed. "My dear child," He whispered. "It is time for you to awaken; time for you to realize who and what you are, my daughter, now AWAKEN!!!"

Kagome's eyes opened again; she sat up and moaned. "What happened? I feel like I was hit by a truck." She rubbed her head. "You're ok." She heard a man's voice come from beside of her; she immediately tried to move in the opposite direction. "Now Kagome, is that any way to greet your father?" He said. "I have not seen you sense you were a pup, it would be a wonder if you remembered me." "You can't be my father," she was looking directly at him. "You're youkai, I'm not." The man looked at her strangely for not even a second before saying. "Oh my dear sweet Kagome, that is where you are wrong. You are 100% youkai and heir to be Leader of the Northern Lands."
Kagome pulled a small mirror out of her pocket and looked into it. She nearly jumped in shock; her hair had gone from raven black to a soft icy powder blue, her eyes had turned silvery gray and her teeth had turned to fangs. Her tail swooped over her shoulder to inform its existence. "Wait a moment how am I 100% youkai if my mothers a human?" "Your mother was not human Kagome, she was also youkai." He sighed. "You must not have figured out your adoption." "What?" she yelled. "How do I know you're not lying about being my father and that my mother is dead?!" "Sit down Kagome" He said and began to tell her the story of what had happened.

"So what you're saying is that you sauté refuge in the well during a battle and ended up were I've live sense I was one, and then you became friends with the people who owned the shrine the house was on?" "That's right." "Then you gave me to them for my safety and put a spell on me so I would have a normal appearance." "Correct" He sighed. "You know you mother was a great Kitsune healer. I didn't think she could ever love a dolt like me; imagine a beautiful Kitsune and a cold blooded wolf youkai like me in love and having a child. I really do miss her." "What happened to her?" Kagome asked sadly "She died giving birth, her last words to me were 'I'm not afraid so you shouldn't be either' and 'it was worth it.'; she was talking about you. She new you would help the world in ways she could not." He sighed yet again. "Here," he picked up a long wooded box and a smaller but still large square box. Kagome opened the long box; in it laid out on a violet piece of velvet were two swords, a black one and a white one. "The white one heals and the black destroys; they are made of mine and you mothers fangs." "Kind of like InuYasha and Sesshoumaru's swords?" She asked. "Yes like theirs only different; these two blades are ten times stronger than theirs combined. You may not be as physically strong as they, but with these swords you have more of a chance than others should you fight one of them." Kagome nodded and set them aside; she opened the other box; in it was a set of beautiful white and red silk outfits that resembled InuYasha's. She looked up at her father and smiled. "They're birthday gifts from me and some of the servants in the castle." He said and smiled back then frowned. "I will tell the lady of the shrine you lived at that you won't be back for a while. Oh and Kagome, happy birthday; now you come to the castle any time you want, its right on the coast a little to the west." He said. "I will take my leave now." "Bye..dad." He looked back and smiled a heart felt smile. "As long as you have the crest on your forehead they will know who you are. Just remember what you looked like as a human and that with become your disguise." He yelled back at her and disappeared into the well.
