Kagome was a normal teenager until one day she found this injured fox and brought it home. But what's this? It can talk? And she's a priestess that is to save the world? And who's the masked man with silver hair and dog ears? Masked Hanyou? Demons? Shikon Jewel? And the Shikon Princess? What's going on?
I'll update this when I can, which won't be often
Long ago, there was a wonderful kingdom called "Shikon Kingdom". It was protected by the great Shikon no Tama. Or, Sacred Jewel. The kingdom had lived for many years of peace of the earth. For, demons and humans alike lived in peace and harmony. The princess, was in love with the young prince of the demon kingdom. Before they were to marry, there was great danger. And great peril. The demons from another kingdom... Far away, wanted the peace to end between humans and demons. The leader of that kingdom, was known as King Naraku. He wanted the power of the Shikon Jewel to himself, so he may become the most powerful demon of all time. But, the queen of the Shikon, had used the Shikon no Tama to banish the demons once and for all. Using the last of her strength... She sent them all to a new time... For, if the demons were ever to return again then... The battle for the Shikon shall begin once more...
It's a normal morning for Kagome Higurashi. She was just waking up from the call of her mother screaming out "Kagome, your gonna be late!"
Kagome had started to run around in her room screaming "I'm gonna be late! I'm gonna be late!" Over and over she screamed the same thing. There was nothing new in her life. Sleeping, going to school, coming home to do homework, then going to bed only to wake up late the next day. She always felt like there was nothing good or exciting in life. She hated feeling like life had nothing interesting at all. So much to do, yet so little at the same time. Why that was, she wasn't sure. As she walked, she walked past the temple. Every day she would see a boy around her age sweeping the temple. Sighing, she ran past that house. Kagome sighed more. Then, she saw a small fox trying to cross the road. Strange... 'Why would a fox try to cross the ro- OH NO!' Dropping her bag, she ran toward the small red fox for a car was heading straight toward it.
Kagome ran faster, doing a somersault on the pavement she picked up the fox with one hand, just getting out of the way in time. The fox was shaking slightly. Kagome stared at the small fox saying softly "it's okay. You're safe now." The fox stared at her with bright green eyes. She stared at it in shock. As far as she knew, foxes didn't have green eyes. That was strange. Then, all of a sudden the fox jumped out of her arms landing in front of her. Giving her a strange stare. Kagome was slightly getting the creeps staring at it. Then, she looked at her watch and saw that she was going to be late. Running back to get her bag, she ran toward the school. The fox stared at her as it thought 'That girl... I sensed great power admiting from her. Hm... I have to keep an eye on her to make sure I'm not mistaken...'
"Your late again Kagome!" Screamed the teacher.
Kagome sighed. This happened EVERY morning. Late, get yelled at and so on. She calmly said "I'm sorry... I was doing home work last night and I was up really late. Around two in the morning. I really am sorry for being late... But on my way here I saved a fox from being ran over!" The teacher just stared at Kagome with wide eyes. Everyone knew how much Kagome loved animals. It was a known fact. When the teacher sighed, she told Kagome to take her seat. Which, of course was a relief. They always believed Kagome since she well, she couldn't really lie at all. Staring out the window, she couldn't help but day dream. All her life, she has these nightmares.
Dreams of things that don't seem to be real. 'I could make stories out of those nightmares I guess... They seem real enough...'She thought with a sigh. Then, Kagome saw something out the window. Shaking her head making sure that she was seeing things, only to see the fox that she saved earlier. Why was it standing outside her school? Why would it be staring at her? This kind of thing doesn't seem normal. At least, not to her. But, she couldn't help but get the feeling that she's seen that fox besides this morning before. But where else had she seen this fox? And, why was she seeing... a human that had fox feet? Man... She needed to sleep more. At least, that's what she was telling herself. Sleeping deprivative was something that she was never going to get used too. Not in the least.
It just stared at her. Staring with it's big wide green eyes. It held a curiosity that most animals don't have. It held Kagome and put her in some kind of trance. But why? Why would it hold her in a trance? She doesn't know the fox. Well, besides saving it, but other then that she knows nothing about this strange animal.
Shaking her head, she decided to let this go for now. There was nothing about this fox that could freak her out. At least, that's what she's telling herself.
Kagome was walking home. She was over hearing some stories about the local book shop selling a bunch of books. They say that these books are 'outta this world'. That couldn't be true could it. Like come on, they're just books. Sure, Kagome liked to read as much as the next person. But to say that books from authors that she's never even heard of are even close to 'outta this world'. Which, they aren't. But, there was something a little off about some of the students reading them lately. It was almost as if they weren't... themselves?
Maybe that was the right word for it. Maybe it wasn't. But to her, at this moment, it seemed like the right word. It had to be the right word. Sighing, she decided to go home and start her homework. It was the only thing she could do to pass the time. But, what she saw in her room was what surprised her. Lying on her bed, was the fox from this morning. Blinking in surprise, she just stared at the fox.
Why was it here of all places? And, how did it even get in her room?
Walking up to the fox and asked "uh... How'd you get in here little guy?" Okay, she had to admit, it was stupid to talk to a fox. Kagome knew that animals couldn't talk back. It just wasn't possible. Not at all. Sighing, Kagome sat on her bed. She was just about to start on her homework, till a childish voice stopped her.
"Simple, I came in through your window."
Kagome's eyes opened Crystal wide before she turned to stare at the fox. She just stared at it. Staring. Staring. Finally, the fox said "what?" Kagome let out a loud scream. Of course, her parents weren't home so they wouldn't barge right in here. Maybe, she's gone crazy. Or maybe, this is a dream. Yeah, it has to be a dream. There's no such thing as a talking fox. There was just no such thing... Right? The fox just sighed as it stared at the scared teen. Staring at her with a bored look, he said "I'm sorry to scare you. But, I need your help."
"No way. Your a talking fox. This isn't real." Said Kagome trying to calm down.
The fox calmly said "My name's Shippou. I'm a fox demon. Now, anyway, this is no dream to make that clear. And, again I need your help. You, and the rest of the Shikon Warriors."
"Shikon Warriors?" Asked Kagome confused.
Shippou nodded as he said "yes. Long ago, there was a great war. It lasted for a long time till the Shikon Queen saved everyone. And now, the time for the Shikon Warriors have arrived. We need you. To help. Your friend Eri is in trouble. She's been to that book store every day for weeks now. Haven't you noticed how week she's been?"
Kagome had to think on this. Yeah, she had noticed something wrong with Eri. She's been so tired. But why? Did it have something to do with that new book store? It had to. She's been acting weird since her first visit. Her mother called here a few times asking if she knew why Eri's been here or mentioned why she's at that book store. Kagome shook her head as she said "yeah. She had been acting weird. But... what can I do? I'm just a high school student." Kagome knew that she couldn't stop this kind of thing. She was only one person. No powers what so ever. How can she stop this alone?
Shippou smiled as he said "that's easy. I just have to give you this is all, and you'll have unlocked your powers." With that said, Shippou disappeared in a poof of pink smoke. When the smoke disappeared, in his place was a little boy with red orange hair, fox feet, pointed ears. A fox tail and blue vest with leaf patterns. And a fur vest along with matching blue pants. He just smiled as he dug in his vest for something. Shippou smiled with trumpet as he pulled out a long silver chain with a bow and arrow charm. Kagome stared at it in wonder and amazement. There was no way that such a piece of jewelry is real.
Shippou put it in her hand as he said "this will allow you to transform. Allow you to unlock the powers that you've kept hidden inside you." When he stared at Kagome, he couldn't help but give her a stare that said 'You've-got-to-be-kidding-me'. For, Kagome had taken the necklace out of his hand only to put it on, staring at it to see how it works for her.
Shippou sighed as he jumped from her bed, and landed on her shoulder. He stared at Kagome saying "you have to listen to me! Don't you get it! The world's in danger! If you don't do something then you won't even have a future. Or, care about your appearance." He saw that Kagome stared at him with a confused look. Then, that look changed from confused to worry. She nodded in understatement. He knew, that Kagome would help him now. To save this world from being destroyed.
Kagome just stared at the young fox as she asked "what do I do? How am I suppose to help?"
"Simple. All you have to do is use the power locked away inside you." Calmly said Shippou.
"Okay. But, how do I unlock said power?" Asked Kagome.
"That is something you have to figure out yourself." Said Shippou.
Kagome just sighed. This fox- Shippou wasn't any help at all. How was she suppose to unlock a power she doesn't even know she has to begin with? None of this was making any kind of sense what so ever. But then, maybe she could unlock it. She just has to find a reason too. She had to think this over. Thinking... Thinking... Thinking... Well, there's her friend Eri. They've been friends since they were kids. But, for a while she had tried to set her up with boys she didn't like. But then, there was the fact that she loved books...
Shippou stared at her asking "so, you gonna go? What are you gonna fight for?"
"For the books!"Screamed Kagome.
"Think again Kagome."
"For Eri?"
"No you think?"
"Shut up."
"Look just focus on what you want to protect. Cause it won't just be your friend in danger. Or the dang books. But your family. Loved ones. Would you risk their lives?" Shippou said with a glare.
Kagome nodded as she said "I won't risk their lives. My family are the only things I've got. I won't let them pay for anything. I won't let them be in danger." Images flashed through her mind. Images of the past. Of her father's death. Her family's tears. She hated to see them like that. She had vowed to make sure that they were safe. No matter what. And she tends to keep that vow no matter what!
Then, there was a flash of light. Kagome had to cover her eyes just so she wouldn't become blind from the bright light. She felt something. Something surging through her. It must have been that power that Shippou was talking about. It was warm. Very warm. It gave almost a tingling sensation. But it was over with in a flash. Once it was, Kagome opened her eyes only to see that she was now wearing some kind of mask. But, it only covered half her face. From her nose and up. Her clothing had changed as well. She now wore, a white long sleeved shirt, and a pair of hakama's. Even her hair was pulled back by a simple ribbon. But instead of the usual white, it was green.
Kagome just blinked with surprise. How... How did this happen?
Shippou smiled saying "your desire to protect was what caused your transformation. Now, you've started to unlock your power Kagome. Or, I should say Shikon Priestess."
"Shikon Priestess?" Kagome asked with confusion.
Shippou nodded, calmly he said "yes, now let's get moving! We don't have any time to lose!"
Kagome nodded before she left her home.
Kagome entered the book store, which was across town. Sighing, she was just glad that she was in shape. She couldn't believe how cool the place was inside. There was no way that this could be an evil place. Then again, she did have this weird vibe from this place. Maybe Shippou was right. This place had to be bad news if it's giving her this vibe. Shrugging, she started to look around. Strange though that an alarm didn't go off. A place like this should have one after all. 'Hm... Yeah, this place is bad news...'
She walked around the place for what seemed like hours. The place was pretty big, but also pretty small. What was with that? Sighing, Kagome was about to turn to leave till she heard a strange moan. Looking at a room with clear glass walls, she saw something. More like someone. Kagome ran to the glass walls, pounding on it. But couldn't break it. There were people in there. But what was weird about it was that she could see something. Almost like a strange mist.
"That's their soul. The demons that are trying to find the Shikon Jewel are trying to find the souls needed to make it once more." Explained Shippou from Kagome's shoulder.
Kagome tightened her hands into fists. She had to get them out of there. But how? There was no way of knowing. The glass, it seemed was made of a strange aura. Glaring through her mask, she gave one last punch to the glass wall. Only...
"OW!!!! That hurts!" Screamed Kagome as she held onto her bleeding fist.
"Yeah, you don't have super strength. Only sacred powers. Strength belongs to the other Shikon Warrior... Not you." Said Shippou blandly.
"Yeah, you know you could have mentioned that sooner!!!!" Screamed Kagome.
"Thought you knew." Said Shippou blandly.
Kagome glared at him through her mask. But then, something wrapped itself around her waist. Kagome let out a scream of terror as she was pulled and held up in the air. She looked at the thing that held her. It was... a woman? With hair? What the hell!?
"Yura of the Demon Hair! Let go of her!" Screamed Shippou.
The woman came out of the shadows. She wore what most whores would. A shirt that showed WAY too much of her chest. And the skirt was so low that if she bent forward then you would see her ass. Her hair was a short dark red. What was with this girl? Kagome stared at her as she said "you'll let go of me at once! Or you'll feel my wrath!"
"Wrath? Ha!" Said Yura with a laugh.
Kagome's hands then started to glow pink and burned the hair. She started to fall but managed to land on her feet. Now, was the time for action. Something deep inside her was telling her how to fight. Which, was something new. Kinda. Grabbing the charm from her necklace, it turned into a bow. Her arrows appeared, but they were glowing pink from her sacred energy. She had to stop this. And now. She was getting ready to launch her arrow until she was grabbed by the hair once more.
Kagome let out a scream of pain. At least, not for long. For Yura had made a strand of hair tie itself around her neck. Trying to slice her head off. Shippou screamed out for her. He couldn't do anything to help him. Then, everything went silent... Yura was in shock. Her hair had been cut.
Kagome had passed out and was starting to fall to the ground. Shippou screamed out "Shikon Priestess!"
But then, Kagome felt something grab her. Arms? Opening her eyes, she stared into a pair of gold eyes. She, was in a pair of strong arms. Who was this person? The person, had landed on the ground, still holding Kagome in their arms. She just stared. Wondering who this person was. Then, the person spoke saying "you should be more careful, if you want to survive from demon attacks."
The person, a man. His voice was deep. Rich and smooth. The light of the moon landed on him. His hair was pure silver. His eyes really were golden. And, he wore a red haori and matching red hakama's. A black mask covered half his face from the nose down. Gently, the man placed her down and he said "aim for the red skull. That's her weakness."
Kagome just stared at him. Who was he? She wanted to know. But she knew that she had to destroy Yura. Looking around the room, she saw masses of hair. Black hair that could cut diamonds. She kept searching. Then, finally she spotted something. There, in a nest made of hair was a red skull. Just like the masked man had said. She grabbed her bow, and a pink arrow had appeared. She wasn't sure how this was going to work. But when she turned around, she saw that the masked man wasn't there anymore. No, he was fighting Yura.
That gave her some time. Looking at the skull, she fired an arrow. The arrow whizzed through the air. The arrow then, hit the skull. Smashing it to bits. Flying through the air was a comb. And Kagome managed to catch it. Looking around the room, she saw that Yura was gone. What had happened to her?
"Her body dissolved since she was nothing but a comb. This comb... Was once used to comb the hair of the dead. Soon, she became a vessel for the comb. Once he was destroyed, so was Yura." The masked man said when he appeared next to Kagome.
Kagome jumped saying "don't do that!"
He just chuckled as he said "I can't help it when humans are slow to react to their surroundings."
"Human? You made it sound like your not human." Said Kagome tilting her head to the side.
The man's eyes sparkled. Showing that he was smiling. He leaned close to Kagome, and whispered in her ear "because I'm not. I'm not human, but a demon. Half, demon."
Kagome blushed slightly but then was shocked. Looking at him, she noticed something. He didn't have ears on the side of his head. But... Then where...? The moon's light shined off of the masked demon more. Her eyes widened under her mask as she saw a pair of silver dog ears. She wanted to touch them. But gave a second thought on that. She whispered "who... are you?"
The masked demon jumped to the window as he said "I'm known as many things. The Silver Thief. The Golden Eyed Saviour. But, you may call me... The Masked Hanyou." With that, he disappeared in the night.
