Series of one shots/drabbles revolving around Kagome Higurashi.
Chapter one: English Magic
Pairing: slight England (Arthur Kirkland)x Kagome
It had been just over half a year since Kagome had been practically forced to become an advisor for the Axis team. The story of her battle with Naraku that transcended time reaching Japan's ears. Japan hadn't been shocked when he heard her story, he knew something had been going on, feeling a ripple in his very soul whenever the Miko used the magic of the well. He had reasoned that her extensive knowledge of demons and her possession of the currently dormant Shikon No Tama would come in great use, it also helped that she was an extremely polite and charming young woman, not that that had swayed his opinion of her, despite that fact that women these days seemed to constantly be dressed like ladies of the night...That was just his opinion though. So he had her brought to the countries headquarters almost as soon as she had set foot outside the well house.
At first, she had been welcomed with suspicion and many many questions, most of the countries not believing her tale of demons and time travelling teens. Japan had tried to explain, but his timid nature got the better of him and he had left it to Kagome, who promptly blurted out that she was friends with demons and used to jump in a well to go 500 years into the past. That was the point where everyone deemed her a clinically insane human, and Japan: A fool.
That is, except one Arthur Kirkland, also known as the body of England. He of course was delighted to finally have another magic user in his company, the jokes and mocking his fellow countries had made of his faeries causing him to doubt himself. He had been the first to warmly greet her, and she had quickly grown fond of the bushy browed Brit, his constant tales of unicorns and other mythical creatures keeping her amused whenever she felt down. Slowly, the others began to warm to her, her kind words and smiles making the whole war thing a lot more...nicer.
It wasn't until her 3rd month living with the countries that she had met Englands faeries. She had been...shocked, to say the least. She had honestly thought that he had been telling her those stories just to keep her happy, but he had waltzed into her room one summer afternoon and had proceeded to introduce her to his "friends".
He had also started to introduce her to his magic. At first Kagome had been intrigued at his small spells and cute little chants that he did, until of course, he had asked her to join in.
So this is where the trouble began.
Kagome wasn't all too pleased with this, she had adamantly refused to be a part of Arthurs curses, memories of the past causing old wounds to begin to open, but his constant begging had made her crumble, also, she just found those eyebrows of his so darn cute!
So here she was, dressed in a white robe of sorts, her inky black hair tied up into a high ponytail, right in the middle of a huge pentagram, writings that she didn't recognise scattered around it. She bit her lip, her cerulean eyes casting a worried look to Arthur. He had donned himself in a black robe, and to be honest, he looked bloody terrifying. She swallowed nervously, a bead of sweat forming on her brow.
"S-So, this spell, it's just gonna be temporary...right?"
She asked, her voice showing her worry. Arthur looked up from a large black book in his hands, his large eyebrows rising slightly. He then smiled brightly at her, the action doing nothing to comfort the poor girl.
"Of course of course, no need to worry about it Kagome, I'm just going to try a youth rejuvenation spell, nothing big, it should wear off in only...ten minutes or so."
He chimed. Kagome blanched, 10 minutes seemed like a long time to be cursed. She sighed and her shoulders slumped. Waving a hand in defeat, she spoke.
"Fine~ Get on with it then"
She muttered, her lips forming into a pout. Arthur nodded and placed the book on the ground in front of him, raising his arms he began to chant. Kagome's eyes widened as she was sure she had heard him say "Dumbledora the explorer" she shook her head, no, she must have been mistaken...right? Everything seemed to be going fine, no explosions, no demons, in fact, the floor had simply began to glow and as Arthur stopped his chanting, Kagome noticed that she had began to shrink
Arthur exhaled as his own green eyes opened. Her stared at where Kagome had been, then looked down, his gaze now settled on an adolescent Miko. He grinned brightly and clapped his hands together.
"My word Kagome! You were certainly adorable when you were a child!"
He exclaimed, swooping down and pulling her into a bear hug. Kagome grunted, the noise high pitched, she glanced to her left to a mirror, her mouth falling ajar when she saw herself. She was...young, a bit too young for her liking, she looked to be about 9/10 years old, her robe slipping off of her shoulders and nearly showing her barely developed chest. She squirmed out of Arthurs hold and brought the robe together to hide her embarrassment. Her cheeks were dusted with pink and she scowled up at Arthur.
"Ten minutes and I'm back to normal, right? And no one gets to see...Okay?"
She said, her attempt at being threatening obviously failing, as Arthur seemed to brighten with an odd sense of glee at the adorable girl. He nodded and grinned, his eyes going to his watch.
9 minutes passed, and Kagome was ready to turn back. She had very nearly started to call Arthur "onii-san", and had gotten an odd desire to run about down the halls giggling manically.
13 minutes passed and nothing had happened. Arthur was panicking over his book, as Kagome began to fill with dread. The country look up from the page, his face pale, and before he could explain, Kagome spoke.
"Let me guess...I'm now stuck in this body until you find a reverse to the curse"
She said, her voice as dead-panned as her expression. Arthur blinked his wide green eyes, surprised that she hadn't snapped. Actually...he was slightly scared, she seemed to be a bit too calm about this. He gulped, living with Kagome had taught him many things, one, she was a neat freak, two, her cooking was amazing, and three...her temper rivalled that of the devil himself.
He shot up and immediately went to his shelf of black magic books.
"D-d-d-don't worry Kagome! I-i-i-i'll get you sorted in a jiffy!"
He squeaked. Hearing no reply, he spun round...only to find himself alone. In a fit of pure and silent rage, Kagome had marched out of the room, tiny hands balled into fists and off to god knows where.
Arthur blanched, should he go after her and risk the wrath of the Miko?
Uh...no.
"I-I think I'll stay here and find a cure"
He mumbled to himself, shaking from head to toe, a cloud of doom hovering over him.
