The Eternal Guardian of the Shikon no Tama


The final battle was finally over. Kagome stood on the bloodied battlefield, bloody herself, staring at her friends' dead bodies, holding the complete Shikon no Tama which was the cause of all this.

"Why am I still alive when all my friends died for me?!" Kagome asked the cursed jewel that was in her hand, while tears slid uncontrollably down her face.

Suddenly, a blinding pink and white light came from the cursed jewel.

"What's happening now?!" Kagome asked/yelled.

"It's okay child. Engulf the light, it's not a threat." Came a voice from somewhere and at the same time nowhere.

"Okay." Kagome said, feeling that she can trust this voice somehow.

When the light died down, Kagome was on a battlefield much like her and her friends' battle, blood was also all over this battlefield. There standing in front of her was a woman dressed in the traditional miko garbs with armor on her shoulders.

"Mi—Midoriko?! Where am I?" Asked a surprised and confused Kagome.

"Child, you are inside the Shikon no Tama, where the battle of my enemy and I goes on for eternity, unlike your battle which only lasted for 3 whole days." Replied Midoriko.

"Why did you bring me in here, Midoriko-sama?" Asked a curious Kagome.

"Child, I brought you here to tell you that you can't wish the jewel away, and that your true family is dead now, killed in an accident. You, my dear child, are going to be the Eternal Guardian of the Shikon. The Shikon and I have agreed that you will be our guardian for eternity, thus making you an immortal being who can't die unless the Kamis wish it, and I don't think you're going to die soon. You are the Kamis' favorite human, thus they allowed you to be an immortal being." Said Midoriko.

Kagome starts to sob and cry all over again when she heard this news.

"Don't cry child. All will be alright." Soothed Midoriko.

"Also, child I have one more thing to tell you. You can turn into a seasons nekomatta if you wish to, whenever you want. You have the power of the seasons and elemental powers. You can change the seasons or weather and you can travel through time itself, if you wish to. The jewel and I will send you to another time through the well, and you will find yourself in London in the 1800s, where you will be turned into a 12 years old. You will live a new life in that time and also help out a child that has sold his soul to a Demon of Hell." Said Midoriko.

"Hai, Midoriko-sama. I shall do it." Kagome replied.

"Farewell now child, call me when you need any help at all."

"Bye Midoriko-sama."

Another light comes and takes Kagome in. This time it's the familiar light when she travels through the well.
