Wanted memories – Chapter 1

Disclaimer: ok people new story!!! Yay!! Anyways I do not own InuYasha or naruto ok?? If I did they would be very different ok?? So evil lawyer guys go jump off a cliff

This was it. The anniversary of their deaths. It was exactly one year on from the final battle and Kagome Higurashi was a changed person. Out of all of her allies, Kirara and Shippo had been the only ones to survive. Only two of Kouga's wolves were left out of the entire pack. Even Sesshoumaru had succumbed to Naraku's deadly forces. Everyone had perished; the loving Taijiya (Demon Exterminator) Sango, the lecherous Houshi (Monk) Miroku, the Inu Hanyou (Dog Half-Demon) Inuyasha, the Inu Taiyoukai (Dog Demon Lord) Sesshoumaru, the Ookami Youkai (Wolf Demon) Kouga, and poor, sweet little Rin. Always one to look on the bright side, Kagome felt slightly content that Naraku's evil reign of power had been stopped from rising.

After the toil of the final battle, Kanna and Hakudoshi were the only ones left out of all of Naraku's incarnations. They had approached Kagome when the dust settled and the true extent of the battle was revealed. Handing the young Miko (Priestess) Kagura's fan, the two misunderstood children informed her of their plans to obliterate their very existences because Naraku was dead and they were no longer needed or wanted by anyone in this era.

Feeling a deep sympathy and feeling of love for these misdirected demon children, Kagome embraced them to her bosom, declaring that from this day forward she would be their mother. Enveloping the bodies of all her acquaintances in the vicinity with her blue Miko Ki (Priestess Energy), Kagome transported them to the entrance of Midoriko's cave. There she toiled for days on end, burying the dead bodies as a last tribute to their wonderful lives.

Kagome had thought it ironic that they would find peace at the grave of the person whom had created the jewel that ultimately caused their deaths.

In the entire year that Kagome had been in the Sengoku Jidai (Feudal Era), she hadn't returned home for a single visit. Just before the devastating battle, Sesshomaru had adopted her as his sister, as had Kouga. Now Kagome was not only Lady of the West but a Ookami-Hime (Wolf Princess).

Kagome had decided on that day that she would carry on their memories. The memory of the talented people whom were now gone and the memory of the treasured times, no matter how scarce, that they had spent together.

Kagome sighed to herself. Shippo, Kanna, and Hakudoshi were sitting on her shoulders while Kirara rested in her lap. The two wolves, one brown and one white, curled around them. In her hand was the Shikon no Tama. Slung over one shoulder was a quiver of arrows with a redwood bow strapped neatly into one of the side pockets. At her side lay three swords; Tessaiga, Tenseiga and Tokijin. Draped across her back, the large boomerang, Hiraikotsu, rested dormant. Inside her hip pouch, the wind witch's delecate fan gave off an aura of its own. Miroku's golden staff lay on the ground beside her, the cold metallic weapon touching her knee. Nestled atop her head in her raven hair, a blue headband that Rin had made almost shone with the deceased girl's smile. Kagome was also dressed in a modified version of Sango's Taijiya suit.

Although it was similar to Sango's traditional Taijiya wear, you could see subtle changes such as the colours; instead of pink and red, the colours were pale blue and silver to compliment Kagome's eyes. Kagome's outfit also ended at just under her mouth and had the metal poison mask sewn into the material. The fabric for the outfit was cloth of the fire rat, but Sango had dyed it black to make it more traditional.

Holding the Shikon no Tama in her small, pale hands she gazed sadly into its swirling pink depths. No sense delaying now - it was time for her wish.

"Are you guys ready?" Kagome asked her demonic children. They all nodded and Kagome closed her eyes.

"By the power of the Shikon no Tama I wish for the strength to protect my children for all of eternity, the will to carry on my friends' memories, to live in peace in a place where I am needed, wanted, and away from anything that reminds me of the cursed Shikon no Tama. I wish for my friends' souls to find their peace in the afterlife. I wish by the power of all the priestess that have come before me, and will come after I am long gone, for the jewel to finally be purified and to leave this plane of existence so that no more harm can be wrought upon this world." Kagome squeezed her eyes shut as tight as she could, repeating her wish over and over again in the swirling depths of her mind. Kagome suddenly began to feel strange and quickly encased everyone inside of a barrier made of her Miko Ki. Then everything went black.

--

As Kagome woke up, she knew something was different. Her whole body felt strange and alien. Her eyes blinked themselves open and she knew something was wrong; She was in a place that she had never seen before, her eyesight and sense of smell were ten times better then they have been, and her nails were a lot longer. It was then Kagome realized; The accursed Shikon had turned her into an Inu Youkai so she could care for her children forever. Smiling to herself, she stood up and looked about, there on the ground where her sleeping children and animals.

Kagome walked to their sides, gently nudging each yawning member of her ragtag family awake. Groaning, everyone arose and offhandedly noticed that they were no longer in the old Taijiya village where they had taken up residence for the past year. They had chosen that place so they could be near their friends' graves. It also was the best place for them to train with the deceased loved ones' weapons so that they could further carry on their memories.

Kagome looked to her right, peering through the trees. With her heightened demon senses she noticed that a village was not far off.

"Come with me my children, we will go see what land we are in now. Kirara, would you mind taking us?'' Kagome looked pointedly at the fire Neko (Cat).

In a burst of red-orange flame, Kirara transformed from innocent kitten to flaming mountain lion. Leaping onto Kirara, Kagome felt her children take up their favored spot on her shoulders; Kanna on her left shoulder, Hakudoshi on her right, and Shippo sitting around her neck, peering over her head. The two wolves went on ahead at Kagome's orders; they knew that Kirara was a lot faster than the two of them combined.

With a mighty leap, Kirara was off. As they flew through the air, Kagome watched the tiny speck on the horizon become bigger as the village came into her view. Walking through the gates, Kagome glanced around. It sure wasn't the feudal era, but it wasn't as technologically advanced as her birth era either so what time could they be in now? As Kagome entered she spotted two men seated next to the large doors. She offhandedly noticed that they were unwaveringly staring at her. Frankly, it was creeping her out. Slowly but surely her ragtag family walked over to them.

"State your purpose!" one of them ordered, a note of fear clouding his voice.

"I wish to speak with the leader of this village, I have a deal to make with him." Kagome deadpanned, her voice flat and emotionless. Her eyes were blank as her words and the rest of her face could not be seen for the Taijiya outfit she wore.

"Umm... Well... Okay. Do you see that big building over there? Our Hokage lives and works inside. Our Hokage is actually female, so don't go around calling her a guy!" With a nod accepting his tip, Kagome was waved off. Smirking behind her mask, she directed Kirara toward the house the two impudent guards had pointed out.

As they passed through the streets, the crowd parted in fearful awe of her strong and dangerous aura. Soon she was at the building she had been directed to go to. Kagome jumped off of Kirara. The fire cat did not transform back, however, but opted to stay in her larger, more intimidating form. All too soon they were at the top of the stairs. Kagome saw a door that said 'Hokage' on it and decided to knock.

"Enter" came a firm female voice. Kagome knew before she even opened the door that there were a lot of people in the room.

Opening the door, Kagome saw many stunned faces staring at her. Unknown to the demonic Miko, she had just interrupted an important meeting with the Hokage. The occupants of the room were all wondering who the hell was knocking on the door and why the hell they had to interrupt.

"I take it you are the leader of this village" Kagome's voice was like ice. She coldly stared at the woman behind the desk, ignoring the curious stares from the Shinobi in the room. Kagome's crescent moon tatoo sparkled in the light as her cobalt eyes scanned the room. At her left a man whom was wearing a mask on the bottom half of his face was surrounded by three young teenagers, most likely his students. A teenager with red hair and an aura like a racoon demon was standing in front of two other teenagers, his siblings by the looks of it. The last person who stood out had red eyes and black hair. He stood alone.

"My name is Tsunade. Who might you be?" Tsunade asked the strange newcomer, half overjoyed, half annoyed at her inturruption.

Kagome grinned mischeviously behind her mask.

"My name is Kagome Higurashi, Lady of the West, Ookami-Hime, Shikon no Miko, and the conquerer of the evil Hanyou, Naraku. These are my children; Shippo,, Kanna, and Hakudoshi. We were traveling though and wondered if you had any... well... demon problems." Kagome stated. Her tone was even, but her children knew she was toying with the strangers.

Before Kagome knew what had happened, a teenaged boy with a mess of spiky blonde hair and a fox aura was flung across the room. Replaying the last few seconds in her head, Kagome glared at the demonic boy.

"You dare touch Tokijin? The previous owner of this sword would have killed you for less, yet you dare touch one of my swords!" Kagome's voice raised as flecks of red entered her grey-blue eyes.

"He meant no disrespect, Lady Kagome. I'm Kakashi Hatake, Naruto's Sensei. Might I ask how is it possible you carry the sword of Lord Sess..." The man in the mask started but fell silent when Kagome's piercing glare turned to him.

"I dare you to finish saying the name of my brother" Kagome whispered dangerously.

"Your... YOUR BROTHER!! You're the Lady Kagome of the west? Sister of Prince Kouga and Lords Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha? How is that possible? Lady Kagome went missing 3000 years ago!" Tsunade shot up like a swarm of Naraku's Hell Insects were after her.

"Take a good look at my forehead; it bears the insignia of the West does it not? Don't you recall that Lady Kagome was the last of the children of the West?" Kagome asked. Her tone of voice almost screamed 'well duh!!!'

Kagome noticed the young blonde that Kakashi had called 'Naruto' start edging towards her, but ever-faithful Kirara growled low in her throat, warning him away.

"Anyway, Lady Kagome, how is it your still alive? Wait... that means you have no place to stay! We must find you somewhere to stay and then we can talk! How about you leave your animals in the stable and you can go stay with the... Uchiha family! Yes! Itachi you can take her." Tsunade babbled like an excited mother.

Kagome, Shippo, Kirara, and the two wolves all growled. Everyone jumped.

"Myself and my family shall not be separated!" Kagome stated firmly, her teeth bared. She then turned her head to the fire Nekomata. Kirara, transform." The feline vanished in a burst of flame and stepped out as a tiny kitten. All the Shinobi gasped in surprise.

"Now, in case you spiritual powerless people haven't noticed, there is a demonic aura approaching and I'm in the mood to kill something. So if you excuse me? I have got some exterminating to do." Kagome smirked and in a flash she was gone.

Kakashi was staring at the spot where she had been, Itachi was wondering who she was, and Gaara was just bored.

"Don't just stand there, after her!" Tsunade yelled. The Shinobi nodded and vanished, searching for her.

-2 miles east of Konohagakure no Sato –

"Now demon, any last wishes before you die?" Kagome asked, her voice dripping with sweetness.

"I will never be killed by the likes of you!" A tiger demon screamed as it lunged for her.

Quickly dodging, Kagome placed her hand on Hiraikotsu. "You're gonna wish you hadn't done that." She said icily.

"Hiraikotsu!" Kagome yelled as she threw the giant boomerang at the Youkai. Whistling through the air, the bone boomerang caught the tiger demon's left arm, wrenching it off. The demon howled in pain, clutching the bleeding stump and Kagome retrieved Hiraikotsu from the wind it rode upon. Placing it on her back, Kagome dug her hand into her hip pouch. Kagome removed the fan of the Wind Witch and opened it.

"Dance of blades!" Kagome shouted, swishing the fan. She needed to get this over and done with before the ninja arrived. Turning her head, she looked at Shippo.

"Okay big fella, your turn!" Kagome chirped.

"Okay Mamma!" the Kitsune (Fox) giggled before shouting 'Fox Fire!' and charring the remains of the dying tiger demon. That Youkai sure wasn't coming back.

Seconds later eight Shinobi appeared.

"Where's the demon?" Kakashi asked her.

"Dead." Kagome smirked, simply letting Shippo jump back up onto her neck and readjusted her boomerang.

"What? Dead? How can that be? You're just a civilian!" Temari accused, pointing and glaring at the Inu-Youkai. She had really wanted to use up some of her excess power.

Kagome turned to look at the Kunoichi that had just shouted at her. Her eyes narrowed.

"I am no civilian, weren't you listening? I'm the Shikon no Miko, Lady of the West, Ookami-Hime, an Inu Youkai, the cause of Naraku's demise. I am Kagome Higurashi, your worst nightmare." Kagome spat, her voice practically dripped with venom.

"Now that woman... Ano... (Um...) Tsunade, said that I would be staying in the Uchiha District and I was to be escorted by someone called Itachi. Is that right." Kagome didn't ask anyone in particular, but still everyone nodded.

"Well, whomever this 'Itachi' is will show me the way now; I need to tend to my weapons before I go to sleep."

"I'm Itachi" stated the lonely Shinobi with the red eyes. Kagome sensed that he had a powerful aura. His aura was powerful compared to some in the room, but it wasn't nearly as strong as Inuyasha's or her own. He was perhaps a little stronger then Sango-Chan's little brother, Kohaku. Kagome giggled inside at the thought of the young Taijiya. She had his chained scythe in her hip pouch with Kagura's fan. She'd hate to really use it because for the entire time she had known Kohaku he had been the walking dead, much like Kikyo.

"Well, lead the way." Hakudoshi ordered. This was the first time any of the Konohagakure Shinobi had heard any of the lady's children speak. "Mother doesn't like to be kept waiting."

Nodding in acknowledgment, Itachi Uchiha turned and disappeared into the bustle of the midday crowd. Kagome followed, noticing offhandedly that Kakashi and a redhead with an aura much like Hachi, yet without the bit that is related to Sesshoumaru or Inuyasha, leaving behind five cunfuzzled teenagers. (Editor's Note: Hachi is a racoon-dog demon and Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha are dog demons... so, yeah!)

Kagome yawned as she removed the last of her armor. It had been a long day and now she just wanted to lay her aching, weary body to rest. Kagome looked at the weaponry around her and smiled sadly. These were the deadly gifts her friends had left her and she would treasure them until the day she died.

Placing the three swords in their sheaths, she sat up and walked to the bed that was in her room. She growled and clenched her fists when she thought of how she was being treated by everyone. It bugged her to no end because it reminded her of how Inuyasha used to treat her...

Inuyasha, why did you leave me?

Sesshoumaru, why couldn't you stay?

Sango, my sister, you left as well

Miroku, you were always a good friend once I learned to overlook your lecherousness

Kouga, I'm no longer your woman

Rin, my daughter, you were so young and sweet

Everyone, I hope you all find happiness, I know I'll try

Kagome was brought out of her sad musing when she heard someone knocking softly.

"Kagome?" A muffled voice came from behind the door.

"Yes Itachi?" Kagome droned.

"My mother wishes to know if you're okay; we heard you shouting peoples' names from downstairs." Itachi informed the Youkai-Miko as he entered her room.

"I must have been dreaming, you'll have to get used to that. I have nightmares that would make even a seasoned warrior like you cry. If you heard me shouting then you're fine until I shout your name, then you're in trouble." Kagome bluntly stated.

"Why?" Itachi asked. He couldn't help himself from wanting to learn more about her; there was just something about this girl that made him go insane!

"Because it would mean you're dead."

And with that answer Itachi left. Pushing Kagome's door shut, Itachi stood on the stairs for a few moments, eavesdropping, before he heard Kagome's muffled voice.

"I know you're still there. I can sense your aura."

Itachi walked into his room with a new feeling of respect for the Miko.

"What a woman!" the prodigy whispered to himself.

-Somewhere in Konohagakure no Sato-

Kakashi lay in bed trying to find that land of bubbles and rainbows we call dreams, but was unable to scout out that once-easy place to find. All this thoughts were circling around the girl who had entered his village this morning. He smiled behind his mask. There was just something about her; something that implied that she had seen more in her lifetime then Kakashi would probably see in ten. She was beautful, skilled, and very, very powerful. Lady Kagome was deadly, perhaps more deadly than the Copy-nin himself. No matter how much he tried, Kakashi couldn't seem to get her out of his head.

-In Yet Another Part of Konohagakure no Sato-

"Temari, you had no right to shout at Lady Kagome today." Gaara chided the Kaze (Wind) Nin.

"Why are you defending her Gaara? Did you hear what she said to me? That girl is crazy and deadly. Lady Kagome could have killed me." Temari whined, nearly in hysterics.

"...Am I supposed to care?" Gaara asked, his face and voice blank. He inwardly clutched his head in confusion. Why was he doing this? Why was he defending the woman? He hadn't even formally met her, yet he could not remove her from his head. Why was this happening?

That night few people slept soundly. Three of the top ninja's dreams and thoughts revolved around the powerful woman whom had recently entered their lives. The time traveling Miko in question was having her usual nightmare about her deceased comrades.

By the end of the night it was decided; Itachi needed her, Gaara craved her, and Kakashi desired her. All she wanted was memories.
