An Assassin's Miko

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or Assassin's Creed II

Chapter 1: From the Present to the Past Again

Kagome walks into the living room to see her brother Souta playing his new video game obsession Assassin's Creed II. Kagome roll her eyes as she sits down and watches her brother. Souta glances at his sister as she comes and sits on the couch next to him. "She hasn't been the same…Not since InuYasha forced her back into this era…" Souta thought sadly.

Two months ago, InuYasha made his decision between Kagome and Kikyou. InuYasha and Kikyou walked into camp and InuYasha announced that he decided that he was going to take Kikyou as his mate. The InuTachi was not shocked that InuYasha chose Kikyou over Kagome. But Kagome always had a small piece of hope that she would be chosen over Kikyou. After InuYasha's announcement Kikyou spoke up and told everyone that since she was the Shikon no Tama's rightful guardian she would be joining the InuTachi and taking Kagome's place, and Kagome would be giving up that shards and return to the present era.

Sango, Shippo and Miroku all tried to protest but Kagome stoically stood up and started packing her things without looking or talking to anyone, once she finished she asked Sango if she could borrow Kirara to take her to the well. Sango agreed and said that she would come along with her to make sure she got to the well safely. Shippo ran and jumped into Kagome's arms begging for her not to leave. Kagome looks down at the kit and kisses his forehead and passes him to Miroku who put a hand on her shoulder and squeezed it. Miroku nods at her before taking a hysterical Shippo away. Kagome looked over to InuYasha and Kikyou and said in a cold and emotionless voice "I hope you find happiness…" Kagome then looks over to Sango and nods. Kirara transforms and the two girls get on her back and fly in the direction of the Bone-Eater's Well, Kagome never looked back once.

Kagome sighs, brining Souta out of his thoughts "What's so great about this game anyway?" Kagome questions her younger brother.

Souta pauses the game and grins at Kagome "In the game you play as an Italian Assassin named Ezio Auditore da Frienze, that lived during the Renaissance." Souta explains to Kagome, "You also get to interact with famous historic people that lived during that lived during that period, like Leonardo da Vinci. There's this one part where you get to fly Leonardo's flying machine!"

Kagome raises an eyebrow at Souta and snorts "Big deal. It's just a stupid video game it's not like it actually happened in real life." Souta glares at his older sister before resuming the game."

Kagome looks at the TV to see Ezio and clones fighting Rodrigo "Why are there more than one Assassin?" questions Kagome curiously, "I thought you said you only play as one Assassin"

"Ezio cloned himself with the Apple of Eden to fight Rodrigo Borgia." Souta tells his sister, without taking his off the screen.

Kagome stands up and walks out of the living to the front door and walks outside. Once outside, Kagome starts walking towards the Goshinboku. Kagome looks around the shrine as she's walking and notices something shining by the well house "What the hell is that?" Kagome questions herself.

Kagome starts walking in the direction of what caught her eye, as she gets closer to it she gets an ominous feeling that something bad is about to happen. Kagome kneels down to pick up a golden ball that fits into her palm. "This looks like that apple thing in Souta's game…"

Kagome stands up and brings the golden ball closer to her face and turns it to examine it. Souta's voice breaks Kagome out of her thoughts "Kagome, Mama wanted me to tel—" Souta's eyes widen as he looks to see what Kagome's holding. "K-Kagome why do you have the Apple of Eden?" Souta questions his sister with wide eyes. Kagome looks at him, "Isn't this from your stupid video game?" Souta nods shakily. Before Kagome or Souta could react the Apple lights up with a bright light and consumes them both.
~Break~
Kagome opens her eyes before closing them tightly and puts a hand to her head. To her right she could hear her brother moan in pain. As she sits up and opens her eyes she notes that they aren't standing by the well house on the Higurashi shrine, but rather in an alley with coble a street at the end of it with people passing by the alley not once looking at them.

"Souta, I don't think we're in Tokyo anymore…" Kagome tells her brother as she looks over at him. Kagome laughs behind her hand as she sees her brother's face. Souta is staring at the end of the alley with wide eyes and mouth wide open. "Souta close your mouth before you catch flies."

"Kagome, I think I know where we are…" Souta starts to tell his sister but it's interrupted by someone yelling at them.
"You there! What business do you have in this alley?" A guard questions them as he walks into the alley and stops in front of them

Souta quickly grabs his older sister's wrist, dodges the guard and runs out of the alley. Kagome snatches her wrist out of his hand and runs to match his pace.

"Souta where the fuck are we?" Kagome asks her brother as she dodges a person carrying a heavy crate.

"Well, I think were possibly in Italy during the Renaissance." Souta tells his sister meekly as they keep running away from the guard that's hot on their tail.

"Souta keep running, I'll hold them off." Kagome tells her brother as she stops to face the guard. Kagome grabs the guard's wrist and twists it with one hand and uses her other one to land a punch in his face. "Thank you Sango." Kagome thinks to herself as she kicks the guard away a few feet. Nearby guards are rushing over to see what the commotion "Dammit!" Kagome curses inside her head as she dodges a sword that the guard she's fighting swigs at her, "Hopefully I'm going to get out of here without injuries..."

Souta is behind his older sister staring in amazement "What the heck did she do on the other side of the well?" He mutters to himself.

Kagome notices that she has two leather bracers on both her arms with what looks like retractable blades. As she flicks her wrists, the blade extends outwards. A smirk works its way onto Kagome's face as she uses the weird blades to kill the guards that were attacking her.

Souta blinks as sister grabs his wrist with a bloody hand and starts running away from the crowd of citizens that crowed around the fallen bodies of the guards.

"This is awesome! I have a hidden blade too!" Souta exclaims as looks at himself.

"Souta right now isn't the time for your fanboying!" Kagome chides her little brother, "We need somewhere to hide."

Souta looks around to see where they are. "I-I don't know if you're going to like this idea Kagome..." Souta informs Kagome as she drags him to sit on a bench, "I think we should go to the Palazzo Auditore, Giovanni is one of the assassins here in Florence, We can trust him." Kagome sighs and nods in acceptance.

"Do you know where it is?"

"I think so, if not we could ask around." Souta tells Kagome, "What's weird is that we can understand what everyone's saying and they're speaking Italian."

Kagome shrugs "I don't really care as long as I can understand them we should be fine..."

Souta looks at his sister "Kagome, when did you learn how to fight?" Souta questions her.

Sango was teaching me before InuYasha sent me back." Kagome explains as she moves to lean her elbows on her thighs and her chin into her hands, "We kept it a secret from everyone."

Souta nods before standing "We should get going..."

Kagome sighs before standing as well "Lead the way little brother..."

~Break~
Souta looks up at the Palazzo Auditore with a proud, cocky smile on his young face "I told you I knew where it was." Kagome just rolls her eyes "Just find this Giovanni dude already." Souta glares at her before walking up to the door and knocking.

The woman that answered the door smiles politely "I could I help you?"

"We were wondering if Giovanni Auditore was home?" Souta tells the woman, "We need to speak to him urgently." The woman looks at both of them before stepping aside to let them in and closing it once they're both inside. "Signore Giovanni is in his study." The woman informs them, "Wait here and I shall inform him of you request to see him." The woman says before walking away.

Kagome glances down at Souta, "Do you even know what you're going to say to this Giovanni?" She questions. Souta laughs sheepishly and shakes his head. Kagome facepalms and glares at her brother "Let me do the talking."

The woman from earlier walks over to them "Signore Giovanni will see you now." and walks them over to an intricate door, knocks and then opens it. The door had opened up into a large office-like area and a broad-shouldered man sitting at a desk looking over papers. "Signore Giovanni, the children are here."

Giovanni glances up and his eyes automatically lock onto Kagome and Souta's hidden blades. "Thank you Annetta." Giovanni nods his head to Annetta as she closes the door and returns his attention to Kagome and Souta, and gestures to the seats in front of his desk "Please sit."

Souta sits down but Kagome stands behind Souta looking at Giovanni. "Is this the right guy Souta?" Kagome questions Souta and he nods slowly.

Kagome sighs "Giovanni, we need your help." Kagome starts, "You see we aren't from this time, we're from Japan and from the year 2014." Kagome rubs the back of her neck at his disbelieving look.

"I was walking around our family shrine when I noticed something shinny near the well house, I think Souta called it The Apple of Eden..." Kagome looks at her brother then back at Giovanni, "I picked it up and nothing happened at first but after Souta came near me it a bright light appeared and we woke up here..."

Giovanni, who is staring intently at Kagome and Souta says nothing but gestures for Kagome to continue.

"When I woke, I noticed that we were in an alley, I looked towards the opening of the alley and noticed people dressed strange. Souta woke up and told me that we were in Florence."

Kagome rests her hand on the back of the chair that Souta is sitting in, "Anyway a guard saw us in the alley and walked towards questioning our reason for being there, and Souta being the idiot he is, grabbed my wrist and took off." Souta blushes slightly in embarrassment Kagome chuckles to herself as she continues, "As we were running I noticed that we weren't losing the guard but attracting more, stopped and told Souta to run which he didn't do but stand there and watch me as I held the guards back. My friend from back home taught me how to fight with hand-to-hand, anyway as I was fighting I noticed it had this." Raises her arm and points to her hidden blade, "and noticed that it was a blade and flicked my wrist and it extended, my friend also taught me how to weld a blade as well, killed the guards and fled." Kagome eyes look into Giovanni's eyes, "We have nowhere to go and we knew you would be able to help us."

Giovanni laces his hands together "The Apple of Eden is what you said brought you here, what it looked like?" He questions.

"It was a golden ball with weird markings that fit in the palm of my hand." Kagome answers his question.

Giovanni looks at Souta and notices that he's looking at his lap where his hands are. "And if I am to help you, I should know your names, no?" Giovanni tells them with a small smile.

"My name is Kagome and this is my younger brother Souta." Kagome tells Giovanni, Souta looks up at him with a pleading look in his eyes.

Giovanni sighs and stands up. "I see now that you truly have nowhere to go, you may stay here with us." He informs them, "You must not tell my sons and daughter why you are truly here." Kagome and Souta both nod, so he continues. "If they ask tell them that you are a distant family friend who's family died and seemed refuge here." Souta stands and bows along with his sister

"Thank you Giovani for your help." Kagome says as she stands

Giovanni walks towards the door that they entered and opens it to see a young man bearing considerable resemblance to Giovanni was standing in the doorway, his fist raised to knock. He looked as surprised to see Giovanni with someone and blinks. "Padre, who's this?"

"Ezio, this is Kagome and Souta they're distant family friends. They're family was lost and they sought refuge here."

The young man that was identified as Ezio nods before running his eyes over Kagome's body and grins lecherously at her, "It's a pleasure to meet you Kagome." Ezio purrs as he grabs her hand and kisses it. Kagome blushes slightly before thinking "Great an Italian Miroku..."

Giovanni clears his throat. "Ezio I have letters for you to deliver, they're on my desk."

Ezio drops Kagome's hand "Till later Kagome..." nods his head to Souta before walking inside Giovanni's study. Souta gets the feeling he isn't going to like Ezio from that little stunt.

" I apologize for Ezio being so forward, anyway shall we go you need to meet the rest of the Auditore family."
