Chapter 1: Betrayal

Kagome's POV

It had been a week since I returned home, and not once did Inuyasha come to yell at me to come back to the feudal era. He was all for that shard hunting shit; always reminding me it was my fault that I broke the jewel, it was my fault that I was always defenseless, always needing to be saved. But not this time - no this time he didn't come at all.

I was starting to get worried that something might have gone terrifyingly wrong. That he was delayed in coming to get me. I couldn't shake the feeling that if I went to the feudal era that I wouldn't like what I see if I went back myself. I wouldn't know what's wrong if I didn't go back myself.

Growling to myself, I hastily packed my backpack which wasn't the yellow monstrosity it was when I first started travelling through time. It was now black with red trimmings - with the use of my miko powers I was able to make the backpack as deep as Miroku's wind tunnel. No one really knows how far Miroku's wind tunnel goes; it's like a black void.

Not only that but I enchanted it with my miko powers to protect it from damage. In the feudal era I was always in a constant battle against demons. However instead of going back as a human miko, the one that is constantly needing saving, I went through a shocking change in the week I've been home.

My mother explained to me that I've never been human. That a concealment spell had hidden my true form. When the spell was removed, I was no longer human. I could see the changes, removing the spell had made. My hair grew down to my knees, instead of it being at the middle of my back. My skin became sun kissed, because as a human I could never tan for some reason, I was always pale. My ears pointed much like Sesshomaru's, ice blue stripes curved along my cheeks in the same arch like Sesshomaru's. The same stripes appeared on my wrists, waist, thighs and ankles. In the middle of my forehead was a backwards ice blue crescent moon with a purple teardrop at the top tip of the crescent moon. My curves became more defined, my muscles more toned like I constantly worked out. My breasts became bigger, now the size of a DD cup. I knew I had to do shopping for new bras. My canines became fangs, and my nails became claws. Then a sharp pain started from my tailbone, and out sprouted a black blue tail that looked like it was dipped in red paint. My hair also had the same red tips.

My eyes which were a milk chocolate brown, became a sapphire blue with ice blue rings around the iris and pupil. Once the transformation was done, I couldn't believe my eyes. I knew exactly what kind of demon I was. A inuyoukai by the looks of it. But what kind I didn't know.

So I turned to my mother. "Mom, what kind of youkai am I?" I asked.

"You my dear daughter are an elemental inuyoukai. You are able to control the elements, such as fire, wind, earth, water, ice, time, and shadow. You also have abilities that most inuyoukai have, like poison claws, poison whip, but in your case yours became a poison whip with purification. You have speed, teleportation by creating a cloud under your feet with your powers. And you will be able to meld your miko powers into any weapon you'd like. Because of the type of youkai you are, you can shape shift into any animal you want. You can read minds, control a person's emotions or just feel their emotions." My mother said explaining my powers to me.

I nodded, that was a lot of interesting powers. I didn't know if I wanted to read people's minds; or control and feel people's emotions. That would be like controlling how they are, who they are. I didn't want to be like that, but it's not like I could help it. These powers are now apart of me, I can't change that.

"Awesome." I said after a few moments.

Two days later I created a necklace that hid my demon form from the world. This was a world filled with humans, and they feared what they didn't understand. I learned every time Inuyasha walked into a village, humans hated the very sight of him, and demons tried to kill him for existing.

Now that I had my concealment spell on, I grabbed my fully packed backpack; one strap on my shoulders, and walked out the door. I headed to the bone eater's well, and jumped in. The familiar blue light surrounded me, moments later I landed on the other side. The fresh air breezing past my nose, I took a deep breath and smiled.

'I knew there was a reason I loved this era. The air is so clean, made it easier to breath, unlike in my era where the air is so smothering with chemicals and smoke.' I thought before I jumped out of the well landing on my feet gracefully.

I closed my eyes, letting my aura out so I can search out any threats or people nearby. I sensed that Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Inuyasha were nowhere in Kaede's village. I frowned, where could they be?

I walked forward into the forest leading to Kaede's village, when I entered the village as usual everyone was moving about doing their daily chores. I walked towards Kaede's hut, and walked in. Kaede as usual was making her delicious stew, but Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Inuyasha were nowhere to be seen.

"Kaede, where is everyone?" I asked raising an elegant black eyebrow.

"They left to go shard hunting, child. They didn't want to wait for ye. Shippo went with them because they demanded it." Kaede stated looking up from her pot of stew.

I sighed frowning. 'So they left me... what the fuck...' I thought bitterly glaring at the floor.

Later that night, Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Inuyasha returned. I didn't bother to look up, still glaring at the floor.

"So you're all back are you? Kaede told me you all left to go shard hunting, and didn't bother to wait for me." I said coldly my arms crossed over my well endowed chest.

All of them were silent for a few minutes before Sango spoke up. "I am sorry Kagome. But we have better things to do then wait around for you to come back, like hunting for jewel shards so Naraku doesn't get them." Sango snapped.

'She's not sorry, not fucking sorry at all. She's changed. She never used to speak to me like that.' I thought, as my sadness was taken over my anger.

"You don't think I know that? I've only been gone a week Sango. But you've turned from kind to a real bitch. And I don't think I like it." I hissed finally looking up from the floor, a icy glare on my face.

"Hey don't talk to Sango like that! If anyone's the bitch it's you!" Inuyasha snapped glaring at me.

"I agree with Inuyasha. Sango didn't deserve name calling." Miroku said with a scowl.

'Something is going on, and I don't like the way it's going.' I thought narrowing my eyes.

I scowled darkly, glaring at the three of them. Shippo then came in, and grinned. "Momma!" He yelled before he ran towards me jumping on my lap.

My expression softened, as I looked at Shippo, who I've started to see as a son.

"Hello Shippo. Have they treated you well?" I asked hugging Shippo to me.

"No! Inuyasha was constantly hitting me when I asked if we could turn back to Kaede's village to get you. And when I yelled at Inuyasha that he didn't care about you, Sango slapped me and told me to stop mentioning your name." Shippo said scowling, his eyes watering.

I growled dangerously, my glare darkening promising pain. "You hit my son?" I said slowly, before getting up off the floor slowly.

My body tensed, ready to fight if I had to.

"Damn rights we did! That kid wouldn't shut up about you!" Sango hissed angrily.

"The brat was annoying me. That's why I hit him." Inuyasha said calmly a glare still on his face.

"I didn't hit Shippo if that's what you are thinking. I just didn't feed him when he started talking about you. Kagome, we want you to leave and never return. Take Shippo with you if you'd like. Good riddance." Miroku said coldly.

My breath hitched in my throat. I wasn't expecting this from them. I didn't expect betrayal, never betrayal. But they've all changed. That's when I smelt it, and it was coming from Sango. She smelled of Inuyasha, and a little something extra, which smelled like cinnamon. Sesshomaru once told me that if cinnamon was involved in a person's scent that usually meant they were pregnant.

I narrowed my eyes angrily, and growled low in my throat with displeasure.

"Sango is pregnant? And she smells of you, Inuyasha." I sneered hatefully.

"Four days ago, Inuyasha mated Sango. If you thought I was hurt by that, I wasn't. I found myself a woman as well, her name is Sheila, she is beautiful and I married her." Miroku said with a blank face.

For a moment I thought my heart stopped beating. My chest tightened painfully. They've betrayed me. Sango knew that I loved Inuyasha, she knew and yet she mated Inuyasha. Miroku, he was supposed to love Sango, but he married another woman. They hit my son just for talking about me, they didn't feed my son when he mentioned my name. I trusted them to watch my son while I was gone. They didn't, they only abused him.

I snarled, my claws broke free of my concealment spell and slashed Sango's throat. Then I turned to Miroku, killed him by breaking his neck, finally I ripped off Inuyasha's head. I left none of them alive. Miroku's woman would just have to suffer knowing her husband was killed. But she wouldn't know who killed him. I would cover my tracks; like any killer would do. Shippo was shaking with fear. I knew he was afraid, and I felt guilt that I frightened my kit. However killing them had to be done. I never let betrayers live. It was now my new rule.

"I am sorry Shippo, I didn't mean to frighten you. It had to be done." I whispered to Shippo.

Shippo nodded his head, "I know momma. Can we go?" Shippo whimpered softly.

I nodded with a smile. "Where'd you like to go my little one?" I asked.

"Your time momma. Please?" Shippo whispered softly.

I thanked god that I had demon hearing, or I wouldn't have heard him at all.

"Of course." I said softly, picking Shippo up in my arms, grabbing my backpack on the floor and walked out of Kaede's hut.

I didn't bother moving the bodies that littered Kaede's floor. I used my fire element burning the bodies into ash. I used my wind element to blow the ashes out the door. I didn't want Kaede angry with me if I left a mess on her floor. With that done, I started to walk towards the well. I arrived at the well in two minutes since I used my demon speed. Without looking back I jumped in, the familiar blue light surrounded us, taking us back to my time.

When the light faded, I looked up seeing the well house's roof over our heads. I jumped up landing on my feet gracefully, walked to the sliding doors, but before I opened them, I sealed the well for eternity, so it would never be used again. I walked out of the well house, and walked to my house - I opened the front door, closing it softly.

"Mom I'm back!" I called out announcing our arrival.

"Oh! Kagome you're back early. Who's this little guy?" My mom said then noticed a sleeping Shippo in my arms.

"This mom is Shippo, my adopted son." I said with a soft smile on my lips.

My mother's eyes widened, then grinned excitedly.

"I'm a grandmother now? How exciting!" My mother exclaimed.

I smirked shaking my head. My mother had something about having grandchildren, and now that she had one; she would most likely spoil him every chance she got.

"Oh! Before I forget, Billy called, he wants you to come to Forks, Washington so you can finish your education." My mother said taking Shippo from my arms.

"Uncle Billy called? And he wants me to move to Forks to finish my education? Mom what did you tell him?" I said with a confused look that soon turned into a stern look.

My mother gave a sheepish look, as if feeling sorry she mentioned anything. "I told him that because of all your travelling, you didn't have time for school. I also told him that you failed your 11th grade because of the number of absences, and he offered to enroll you in Forks High to retake grade 11." My mother told me.

I groaned, "Why did you tell him that mom?"

"Because sweetie, your current school called and said all schools in Tokyo wouldn't take you because of your history of absences, and illnesses. Not like they knew you're illnesses were faked." My mother said sweetly.

"So my current school kicked me out?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

I knew that eventually my school would kick me out for not attending. And I was way behind in my school work, not that I cared. I didn't need help with my school work, I understood it all. I just thought it pointless since I knew all the answers while everyone else was struggling just to answer one question.

When I was 7 years old, I was declared a prodigy. When word spread, every teacher wanted the chance to have me as their student. Every school wanted me as a student - and I was sick of it. The martial arts studios in Tokyo, wanted me as their student as well. Who was I to say no? So I attended martial arts classes at 7 years old. By the time I was 10 years old I mastered everything they had to teach me.

"Yes dear, they kicked you out. However Forks High accepted your enrollment. They are expecting you next month at the beginning of September. Better start packing now Kagome." My mother said smiling before she walked into the kitchen to start dinner.

I sighed, and started walking up the stairs to my room. On the way I walked by Souta's room, his door was open so I saw him playing his video games as usual.

"Hey Souta..." I said in a bored tone. "Wanna come with me to Forks?" I asked him.

"Forks? Isn't that in America sis? I'm pretty sure it wasn't I who was enrolled in Forks High. You were. So you go, I'll stay here with mom and gramps." Souta said without looking away from his video game.

I frowned, I hated it when Souta didn't give eye contact when he spoke to someone. He was way too into his video game. It was a habit of his, and quite frankly it was very rude. I huffed stomping to my room which was next to his, slamming the door.

I grabbed two black and red suitcases that sat on the shelf in my closet. I started packing all my clothes, accessories, my laptop, makeup, toiletries, etc...

When I was done, I zipped up my suitcases. I laid down on my bed - closing my eyes. Soon enough I fell asleep, the last thought on my mind was the betrayal of my supposed friends.
