I do not own either Inuyasha nor My Hero Academia.
A baby's wail resounded through the hospital room. Nodoka cried out and pushed one more time.
A voice cried out to the gods-all of her allies and friends in the battle dead
"C-can I please hold her?" the mother of the newly born baby held her arms out and she quickly calmed the baby down in her arms.
'Please! Anyone with the power to grant my wish!'
The baby gurgled and giggled in Nodoka's arms and Nodoka's heart melted at the sight of her baby smiling. An eight pointed star shone from the baby's chest and it glowed brighter as the baby's happiness continued to grow.
The jewel she held tightly in her closed palm pulsed
"I think I will name you… Kagome." Nodoka let her eyes close gently to rest and her baby also yawned in exhaustion.
The jewel searched its guardian's soul and found her wish; it pulsed in sync with her heartbeat and the pulsing grew faster
The doctor gently pried the baby's grip from her mother for further examinations. The baby squirmed slightly before cuddling into the warmth that was provided for her.
A flash of white came from the jewel and it extended to all of Japan-guardian and jewel gone with all of the dead warriors on the battlefield revived
Kagome sighed as she continued to receive weird looks from her classmates. 'What is so weird with wanting to be a hero so late into the game?' Kagome groaned as the stares burned holes into her body and her irritation started to affect her holy energy. A pink glow manifested onto her palms and everyone gasped and started to murmur-the display of powers only making them talk more rather than keep quiet.
'I thought people that hold the blood of God's servants were supposed to be quirkless'
'Is Kagome a defect'
'Kagome could be a monster-I don't know anyone from a family that believes in Gods still that have quirks'
CRACK!
Everyone stopped talking as the table beneath Kagome's hands held dents. Blood dripped onto the floor when the shattered pieces of wood pierced her palms. "Please, do not talk about me as if I am not here, it is very rude of you to do so and it would be for your own good if you would just SHUT UP and wait for the teacher to come in." Kagome hissed as she glared at everyone around her.
.
.
.
Everyone continued to whisper about her and Kagome could only groan in annoyance.
'Why can't this day end faster?'
The door slid open and the teacher stepped into the classroom.
"Please get seated, class will start soon." The teacher ignored the mess Kagome made and moved on with the lesson.
The door to the Higurashi household slid open; "I'm home~"
Kagome slipped off her brown loafers, "Mom? Grandpa? Souta?" She hummed as she walked to the kitchen, "Now where could they be?" Her eyes widened as she saw the figure sitting ever so casually with her mother sipping their tea. His hair was still long and silver-his markings were showing and the crescent moon on his face followed by golden eyes only confirmed who the person sitting in her living room was.
"L-lord Sesshomaru?"
He let out an inaudible sigh and closed his eyes, "So you do remember me miko," Kagome froze seeing him glare at her, "Explain your wish."
.
.
.
"What?"
The glare in his eyes tightened, "Your wish miko… it left a change throughout all of Japan."
Kagome, befuddle, responded, "I-I'm sorry, but I have only been recently getting visions of what I have done in the another timeline."
"Elaborate"
Kagome's mom stood up, "Seems like this is going to require more tea. I will be back"
Kagome sat down in front of Sesshomaru, her nerves shaking her to the core.
"I know… a lot of things people with quirks would not believe. I know demons existed in the past and they most likely still do, but have blended in with the people that have quirks. I also know that before quirks, humans did not have such unique powers. Lately, I have visions of another me, battling a manifestation of true evil. I have not seen what that me have done to the history of Japan but I have a feeling I will. The wish that you speak of… I am not sure why the other me have made such a wish knowing that some people will abuse their power, but I do believe she had an end goal and I will continue her work in this timeline."
Sesshomaru, during her explanation, had a lot of thoughts running through his head. He stared into Kagome's eyes and Kagome felt as though he was looking into her soul.
"Miko tell this Sesshomaru why do you believe your past self have made the wish that would change the mortals and the way they live forever?"
"I am not sure, but she must have wanted humans to have some way of defending themselves against the evil you an her have faced. Demons have enhanced physical attributes and humans merely have their intelligence. Their physical capabilities are not enough to fight off the physical form of evil."
Sesshomaru nodded his head lightly and Kagome turned around, only to see her mother with the tea. Her mother smiled and set the tea down, before she could pour out the tea, Sesshomaru got up.
"If what you said is true miko, then your past self was cowardly, she handed the battle she could not win to you, her future self with enhanced abilities. She left the future of Japan in the hands of mortals and with the demons needing to blend in, not being accepted by your corrupted society… the hidden council this Sesshomaru is in will work this out. Be prepared for the next biggest change miko."
With that, Sesshomaru walked out, bidding Kagome's Grandpa and Souta adieu and leaving. Kagome sighed for the umpteenth time that day and collapsed completely in her seat. Placing an arm over her eyes, Kagome closed her eyes and saw red eyes.
'I will come and get you~'
Kagome quickly opened her eyes and walked up to her room, whispering a 'No thanks Mama,' when her mother offered to make oden for her. Souta and Grandpa Higurashi gave questioning looks to Nodoka but Nodoka shook her head.
Meanwhile, Kagome settled onto her bed and criss crossed her legs to get ready for meditation. The jewel hummed within her soul and started to glow. The light it emitted showed on Kagome's chest and eventually, Kagome was face to face with… herself? She reached out to touch her pink reflection and she felt the warmth before feeling the many emotions it was expressing; sad, worried, hopeful, happy, caring, and love. The longer Kagome's hand was on her reflection, the brighter the glow on her chest in the physical realm grew.
'You're… the other me I was talking about, aren't you?'
The pink reflection nodded and Kagome retracted her hand. Her eyes looked at her reflection in disbelief, why was she here? If she was here does that mean the evil was also in this timeline? The pink reflection nodded again, hearing her thoughts, her worries and her fear. 'Kagome' walked up to her current self and touched her forehead with Kagome.
'I am so sorry.'
Kagome's eyes widened; she could hear her.
'You were supposed to live a happy life. The battle ended with the physical form of the evil gone but I was selfish. I wanted to see my friends again in another world so I made a wish that would reverse the damage and give the humans a boost. When I made that wish, I had not known that the evil known as Naraku would reincarnate into another form. Now that he have reincarnated, you have to battle him just as I did nearly 500 years ago in Feudal Japan. The pink glow you see from me is your holy energy and the energy of the you in the other timelines that have failed their mission. They were given a second chance to be redeemed in god's eyes and until then, they will assist you and slowly become one with you'
Kagome grew angry, really angry, "It's not fair, you place all your hope onto me but what good will I do? I am still you and if you failed, what are the chances I won't fail? I can't even control my powers! Mama, Souta and Grandpa think I'm crazy and Papa is dead! He's dead because someone with the quirk to erase all quirks permanently killed him after taking his quirk! And I don't even know why!"
At this point, Kagome was crying, the pink reflection moved away from hers and wiped the tears away. It then turned into a pink orb that quickly moved into Kagome's chest. Kagome's eyes lit up with a white glow.
'With this you should be able to call onto your powers and control it better. We will be your anchor until you understand the powers. Understand that your powers are like you and is almost like another entity. Goodbye'
"WAIT!"
Kagome opened her eyes, panting and Souta, who was in front of her, gaped. The glow from her chest slowly dimmed and Kagome wiped the sweat from her forehead. Souta continued to gape at her and Kagome snapped, "What!"
Souta shook his head and his eyes slowly filled with awe, "SIS! What was that? It was so cool-freaky- but cool!" Kagome smiled at his innocence before avoiding his question and ushering him out, "Tell Mama I'll be downstairs for dinner soon." Souta ran off and Kagome went to the bathroom to clean up a bit before going downstairs to eat.
The Next Day…
Kagome's eye twitched as she saw the letter from Taisho Corps. It read;
'Miko, this one have placed a recommendation for you to enter the U.A High School. This one suspects that his influence is strong so you were accepted upon my request. From there, you will train under the guidance of pro heroes and this one. Your transfer will cause eyes to be turned to you because their entrance exam and the teachers' examination of the students' abilities have already occured. The Hero Course will be difficult but it should be child's play with each passing day that this Sesshomaru trains you each week. As this one is busy, another capable demon will train you on the days I am not available. Inside the package is this one's armor for you, made with purified dragon skin. That will be the armor you will wear during training. Good luck.'
Looking down at the package Sesshomaru sent her, she scrambled her hair and quickly shuffled away with the package. 'Might as well stay home if I'm going to another school tomorrow.' Carefully opening the box, she pulled out the costume Sesshomaru had carefully designed for her. It was a black jumpsuit with pale pink armor around the the shoulder blades, elbows, and knees. 'I wonder where he got the idea from'
A picture of a woman with long brown hair, dressed in almost the same outfit and a huge boomerang behind her was shown. She was smiling and there was a kitten at her side smiling as well. Kagome smiled and put the costume away in her closet.
Mew~
Kagome looked into the box curiously and saw the same kitten by Sango's side; "Kirara?" Kirara jumped out of the box and purred as she rubbed her cheek against Kagome's leg to say 'hello' and 'i missed you.' Kagome groaned, "Great I have to go to school and I'm late on the first day. Where's the uniform anyway?"
Kirara mewed to catch her attention only to paw at the box again. Kagome looked in it again and saw her uniform at the bottom along with her I.D placed neatly on top of the uniform.
"So I need to work on my focus huh?"
Mew
"Please tell me you can get me to school faster"
Aizawa Shouta groaned, first he have to handle his class looking like a mummy and now he have to wait for a new transfer student. 'Why the hell was she accepted into the Academy this late in the first place?!' Aizawa groaned again and a distant roar could be heard, getting serious, Aizawa prepared for a fight only to see a girl with the U.A uniform on the saber-tooth animal. 'Lovely, a girl that screams danger. Just what my class needs,' Aizawa grunted as the female made her to the office and the saber-tooth animal turned into mere kitten. 'I don't have the time for this,' Aizawa decided to meet the girl halfway and whizzed to the entrance where he could tell the girl was shocked by him.
"H-hi, I am in Cl-!"
"I am your homeroom teacher and let's get going. When we get to the classroom, stay quiet until I tell you to come in." Kagome nodded, "Good, maybe a squirt like you won't be much trouble after all."
Standing slightly behind him, Kagome stood there and Kirara, whom have been quiet and in her bag, hopped out of the bag. Aizawa opened the door and nearly everyone shouted his name in concern. He made his way to the middle of the classroom, ignoring everyone and everything.
"Mr. Aizawa! I'm glad to see you're ok!"
A female voice murmured, "You call that ok…?"
Aizawa spoke, "My well-being isn't relevant, what is important is that your fight isn't over yet-"
"Our fight?"
"Don't tell me…"
"Not more bad guys!"
Aizawa continued, "The U.A Sports Festival is about to start-"
"YES!"
"DON'T SCARE US LIKE THAT!"
Aizawa ignored their cheers, "And we have a new student." Everyone grew quiet, the atmosphere became tense. "Why don't you come in and introduce yourself?" Kagome took that in as her cue and slid open the door.
"Hi, my name is Kagome Higurashi, I am very late into the year because of certain duties of mine but now I am here. Any questions?" The stares of her classmates burned into Kagome and Kagome's eye twitched slightly. Three hands went up; one of them came from a girl with short brown hair and pink cheeks. Kagome picked on her and the other two hands went down.
"So um, what exactly is your quirk? Oh and my name is Ochaco Uraraka!"
Kagome hummed, "I'm sorry, I won't tell you what my quirk is because, well, I'm a really late bloomer so I'm not quite sure myself. I have been practicing on controlling and centering my powers though if that answers your question." Uraraka nodded and Kagome picked on the boy with glasses.
"My name is Tenya Iida and may I ask who recommended you?"
"Well, I am not sure I can reveal his name but I can tell you that the person that recommended is the strongest person I know and possibly stronger than All-Might, maybe that is why I was accepted regardless of how late the transfer was."
Iida nodded, "I see…"
Aizawa interrupted the class, "You guys can ask her about everything after class, I just wanted to tell you that the U.A Sports Festival must be held for everyone to showcase their powers so they can be chosen by a Pro Hero. Higurashi, since you are a newcomer, eyes will be directed to you for an easy target, watch yourself and keep that kitten away from my scarf." His tone growing angrier by the second, Kagome quickly bent down to get Kirara away from the now tattered end of his scarf.
"Sorry about that"
"Anyways, class is dismissed." And with that Aizawa left the classroom, letting his students mingle and going to find out more about the transfer student.
Kagome let her eyes roam the students, letting their auras take over her so she get a feel of who they were. She paused upon sensing an aura that was battling itself, similar to the hanyou her past self was so infatuated with. Letting a bit of her aura go, she watched as it embedded itself into the chaotic aura. The owner of the aura snapped his eyes to her and time seemed to slow down for the two of them before it was ruined by a figure coming in between their connection. Kagome let her eyes travel to the face of the figure before noticing that he is scowling at her. She raised a brow, "Yes? Is there a problem?"
"HELL YEA THERE'S A PROBLEM! YOU QUIRKLESS IDIOTS NEED TO STAY WHERE YOU BELONG!"
Uraraka interrupted, "Aaaand that's Katsuki Bakugou if you were wondering." She was ignored by both as Kirara hissed at him and Kagome worked on calming the kitten down rather than Bakugou.
"Kirara, stop, you can't reveal yourself just because a human insulted me! What would Lord Sesshomaru say?" Kagome hissed out. With that Kirara stopped growling at Bakugou and went on with her merry way to the human Kagome felt a connection with. On her way to the human, she swiped at Bakugou's hind leg and he screamed in pain.
"OOOOOOOWWWWWW! WHAT THE FUCK!? CONTROL YOUR PET EXTRA!"
Kagome's eyes were shadowed, "What did you just call Kirara?"
"A FUCKING PET! WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT I-!" A swift roundhouse kick to the face was delivered to Bakugou. He was sent flying to a wall and it created a dent. Bakugou coughed and rubble came down. He looked up to glare at Kagome only to pause at what he was able to see; hidden loneliness and sadness.
"Never," Bakugou perked up, "And I mean never call Kirara a pet. She is a companion, friend and one of the few that have a connection with my second family. With your outlooks on how you look down on people, one would think that you would be the weakest. After all, the saying is, 'The dogs with the loudest bark are the ones who are the most afraid.'" Kirara mewed from her perch on the red and white haired boy, the atmosphere instantly changed. Kagome rushed to Kirara, "I'm sorry, I didn't think she would go out to sit on a stranger's lap. She's usually cautious." The red and white haired boy blinked at her, "It is alright, I… enjoyed her company."
Kagome narrowed her eyes at him and he continued to blink.
"Yes?"
"Something seems," Kagome hummed, "Familiar is all. What is your name?"
"Shouto Todoroki"
Kagome nodded to him and walked away, Kirara at her side. Whereas other students went to hang out with each other, Kagome did not have that luxury, nor did she have the courage to speak to humans with enhanced abilities. On her way home, she started to wonder about the many things that have happened in just a course of two days; she met her past ally, she transferred to U.A High, had the deepest conversation she have had with the jewel, she met herself from another timeline, she finds a connection with Shouto Todoroki and Kirara is given back to her.
