The Awakening
Chapter 1


Kagome sat by the dying fire, her eyes fixed upon the glowing moon. It had been three weeks since she had decided to leave Inuyasha and the rest. Her heart still ached when she thought of everyone she had left behind, but she knew it had been the right thing to do.

She shuddered slightly as the nights chill creeped into her bones, signaling that her fire was almost at its end. Sighing, Kagome pushed herself of the ground, her aching feet stinging in protest. "I could so use a bath..freezing rivers are going to be the death of me" she muttered quietly to herself, her hands reaching for her over used back pack. Pulling out the essentials she needed, she inspected her tiny morcel of soap. She sighed in resignition, gathering her meager washing supplies and slinging her bow and arrows across her shoulder.

As she made her way in the direction of the river, she thought back over her last day with the group.

She walked through the small village, watching as small children chased each other and the woman of the feudal era went about their daily routines. Her gaze moved to where the goshinboku stood, seeing Kikyo in Inuyashas embrace. She quickly removed her eyes from the scene, feeling that famililar burning at the back of her eyes." I will not cry. I will not cry. I will not cry". She cursed herself  as a single tear escaped her.

Frowning she quickly brought her hand up to wipe the offending tear away.
"Why am I sad, this is the way it should be.. right?" she thought to herself as she made her way through the village.

Now standing on the hill before the forrest, Kagome let her gaze sweep across the livley village. Everyone had moved on with their lives. Everyone except her. She let her hed droop slightly, letting her tears flow free. "Inuyasha.. he has Kikyo now.. and Sango and Miroku are .. are married and happy. Theres no where I fit in here anymore."

With one last look at the village below, Kagome slung her belongings across her slender shoulders and blended into the forrest.


She had arrived at the freezing river in no time,even with her feet dragging with exahustion. Placing her backpack by the rocks, she let her eyes take in the scene before her. The shimmering water glowed under the light of the moon, looking so inviting that Kagome nearly jumped in fully clothed. Thankfully she had some sence to realize she would thourghly regret it later. Slipping out of her miko clothing and laying them on a fairly dry rock nearby, she made her way to the water. Biting on her lip slightly in hesitation of touching the freezing water. "You can do this Kagome, its just water.. just freezing cold water..nothing to bad right?" she said in attempt to comfort herself as she dipped her toe in. With a small "Eek" She  jumped back , and in such a failed attempt at escaping the ice cold bath, she slipped, causing a screaming Kagome to land head first into the very thing she had tried to run from.

She sat up, coughing her lungs out in  such an unlady like fashion she was convinced she was going to die. "Aa...at..atleast I got in!" Her long ebony hair which had grown down past her back was pooling around her in the water. With another sigh, she began her usual task of washing, wish for some reason, seemed really difficult with her quickly numbing fingers.

Once her task of washing was complete, she quickly dressed herself and started to gather her things for the task of heading to her small camp. Her hands stopped moving suddenly, her eyes searching the area for movment. She had felt the presence of a youkai, and without even realising it, she had her bow up and ready. "I know your there ! I can feel you!" she kept her voice strong, her eyes moving warily around the area. Her hands shaking slightly as she felt the youkai moving closer to her.

She felt the presence slow, and then come to a stop just on the outkirts of the small clearing. Holding her stance, Kagome kept her bow pointed true and waited. "Come out! I know your there !" her voice shook slightly as her nerves began to pick up at the mysterious youkais appearence.

"Do not fear me my child." came the beautiful voice from this unknown youkai. Kagome started slightly at the voice but did not move from her stance as she watched the youkai come into sight. Kagomes first thought of the youkai, was that she was beautiful. The youkai was female, with long ice blue hair that carresed the ground, her eyes the same shade as her hair and her face shaped perfectly. The youkai was dressed in a white kimono that seemed to glisten in the moonlight.

Kagome staring with a mix of envy and fear, tightend her grip on her well used bow.
"Wh..o are you? W..what do you want?" she couldn't keep the fear from seeping into her words.
The youkai's eyes seemed to sweep across Kagome before finally landing on her face.
"My name is Kazumi, and I am here with a gift", she watched as the now named Kazumi bowed from the waist, letting her silk hair fall over her shoulder.

Kagome stared in shock and disbelief as the youkai.. Kazumi bowed. "A..gift?" she said, with confusion coloring her face. Her bow lowering slightly.
Kazumi smiled at Kagome, straightning from her bow. "Yes my child, I have come to release you from your human prison, forgive me for not finding you sooner" She moved slowly towards Kagome, her eyes shinning with the moon.

Kagome, unable to move, either from fear or curiosity she did not know. "Human prison?", she kicked herself internally for sounding so stupid but then realized, what else was she supposed to say to an approching youkai who might, A, want to kill her, or B ..well shes not quite sure what else could happen.

Kazumi smiled once again, "You do not know? Well that is okay, you will understand soon enough". Before Kagome had anytime to question this youkai further, or bring her bow up for protection, Kazumi was infront of her, her hands resting on either side of Kagomes head.

Kagome felt paralized, like ice had formed up her spine. She could feel the youkai's hands on her, and yet she could not do anything about it. She saw Kazumi's face move in closer, and felt her cool breath against her ear. "Do not fear, when you awaken, you will be reborn".

And with those final words, everything went black.
The well has been sealed and Kagome now lives in the feudal era with her friends. Kagome finds her life to be lacking something and decides it is time to go her own way, beginning the story.


This is my first attempt at a Fan fiction and I hope to continue it if there is any interest. It will be a Sess/Kag pairing of which I'm excited to get started. All reviews and thoughts are greatly appreciated (:

No copyright infringement! I do not own these characters.. even though I wish I did ;D
