Chapter One
Kagome walked silently through the lushes green forest. It was slightly raining and her ebony hair clung to her face. She didn't mind the rain it felt nice on a hot summer night like this. She made no sounds as her feet hit the ground wet from dew and rain. Though her clothes and hair clung to her wet body she still walked as graceful as ever. Soon the clouds would fade and the full moon would come into her view. She needed it tonight but she didn't know why. All she knew was that tonight was the night of the dragons moon.
The Dragons moon came every five hundred years and to night was its night. Tonight the moon would shine dark red and dragons would roam the lands destroying everything without remorse trying to get to there mistress. The only problem was that the dragon mistress was born once every thousand years. This was the night the dragons would find there mistress and there would work ten times harder to find her. Only one dragon would succeed in finding her, though she had power over all dragons only one dragon held the capability to find her. This dragon was the oldest dragon alive though still young in dragon years was over ten thousand years in human years. This dragon lived to see many, many dragon mistresses and because of this knew of what to look for.
Inuyasha had warned her about tonight, about how dangerous it was because of the dragons moon. Though he had not witnessed a dragons moon his mother had told him stories about them. She knew she shouldn't have gone out on this night but she felt the strong urge to move. So well the others slept in the safety of the barrier surrounded village she left. Her feet were taking her some where she wasn't sure of but they were taking her there. Soon she stopped in the center of a beautiful clearing. There were red moon flowers everywhere which Kagome though was strange because moon flowers were white. Perhaps because the moon is red the moon flowers are red? Kagome was so concentrated on the red moon flowers she didn't realize she began to glow.
(*(*(*)*)*)
Somewhere far off in a different forest in a different land a dragon was fighting the urge to search for its mistress. It knew it shouldn't fight the urge because it would seem unfaithful to the mistress but this dragon had a master. And its master had specifically ordered it to watch the small human girl.
Ah-Un paused in step and began to shake pain full back and forth. Rin who had be walking in front of Ah-Un holding his reins had be forced to stop as well.
"Ah-Un whats wrong?" Rin looked curiously at the dragon it looked like it was in so much pain "Are you ok Ah-Un?"
Ah-Un began to back a way from the human girl but she was reluctant to let go of his reins. He made a grunting noise in the dragon language telling her to let go. Rin just looked at him before telling him that she would not let go.
Jaken just noticing Rin and Ah-Un were no longer walking turned to see what was wrong. He saw Ah-Un trying to back away but Rin not letting go of his reins. He wondered what was wrong then remembered the it was the night of the dragons moon. He began to tell Rin to let Ah-Un go but before he could get the first word of his mouth Rin began to glow. Ah-Un and Jaken watched in awe as the clouds disappeared and the red moon and Rin shined brightly. The moon shined a red glowing beam down on the glowing Rin. Unbeknownst to them somewhere far, far off the same thing was happening to Kagome.
After the glowing faded everyone looked at Rin. She had a dragon symbol on her forehead but after a minute it glowed and faded away. Jaken was in shock of what to do Rin was chosen as the dragon mistress. What would his master do? He looked to Rin who obviously didn't know what was going on and hugging Ah-Un like he was going to suddenly disappear. Maybe if he didn't tell his lord things would go the same as they did now. Yes he wouldn't tell his lord that Rin was a dragon mistress.
(*(*(*)*)*)
Kagome's body glowed red as a red beam shot from the moon towards her body. The red glowing light enveloped her body and she was lifted off the ground. She was at least 60 feat from the ground floating power surging through her body. Soon the glow faded away and her body began to fall to the ground. Kagome was unconscious and falling but before she could hit the ground something caught her. Setting her on the ground the thing began to nudge her awake. Kagome groaned. "Uh what happened?" She asked and nearly screamed at what she saw staring at her. A large reddish orange dragon with green eyes sat there staring at her.
"Mistress?" The dragon asked
Kagome pointed at herself "Me?"
The dragon let out a small chuckle "Yes you mistress"
"No way..." She said not believing how could she be the Dragon mistress?
"You are the dragon mistress" The dragon had gone through this before, most if not all Dragon Mistresses grow up not knowing that they are dragon mistresses. "We have waited one thousand years for you dragon mistress"
"I..umm" Kagome was at loss at what to say I mean what do you say way you find out you're a dragon mistress? "What's your name?"
"Ryuu" He answered
"Now Dragon Mistress you must stop the other dragons from destroying everything in an attempt to find you"
"Umm..right well....how do I do that?" Kagome had no idea what to do or how hell she just found out what she was.
"You're a Dragon Mistress a master of dragons you control us just tell them to stop" Ryuu lowered his body so his mistress could climb on.
"Uh.." Kagome was hesitant at first but she knew people were dying by her dragons so she climbed on. "So um where are we going anyway?"
"Many of the dragons come from the lands of the west because they are protected there so we are going to the west. Once the dragons there stop the other will soon follow" Ryuu told her he himself was from the western lands but left to find his mistress.
"Oh..um.. Isn't the western lands ruled by the dog youkai Sesshomaru?" Kagome would go and stop the dragons because she didn't fear them but Sesshomaru...well he's a whole other story. Though she did stand up to him many times AND live to talk about it.
"Yes do you know of him?" Ryuu asked curiously though all Dragon Mistresses associated with youkai never had there been one that associated with taiyoukai.
"Um..well yea...he's not to found of me..In fact..he's tried to kill me a few times" Kagome shivered at the memory
"Oh? What did you do to get on his bad side?" Ryuu had never heard of a dragon mistress that associated with a taiyoukai but his mistress was actually on the taiyoukai's bad side.
"Well I'm guessing it was either when I gave his fathers sword to his brother or when I shot him with my arrow or perhaps maybe because I'm human" Kagome honestly didn't know why Sesshomaru hated her she guessed it was because she was his brothers companion.
"Ah..Well Dragon Mistress you're the first to associate with a taiyoukai" Ryuu told her even if her and the taiyoukai were enemies.
"Um..Could you call me by my name?" Kagome would much prefer to be called by her name instead of her..um..title.
"Well I suppose I could and What is your name Dragon mistress?" He had never called his mistress by her name before but if that is what she wished then he would do it.
Kagome smiled at the dragon he didn't seem all that evil "My name is Kagome"
"Well Dra..Mistress Kagome if you wish to be called by your name I will do it gladly"
Kagome smiled at Ryuu he was a pretty nice dragon "Thanks" she thanked him "You know you're a pretty nice dragon"
"Well I'm glad you think that Mistress Kagome" Never had one of his mistresses said something so nice. Most Dragon Mistresses were ruthless and horrible not to mention the smelled terrible there aura's were dark and evil they had to be in order to control the dragons. But this one, his new mistress her aura was pure and she was kind nothing about her was evil. She didn't seem like someone who was a dragon mistress so why had the kami chosen her? She was nothing like the other she was so different. "We'll be entering the Western Lands soon"
Kagome felt nervous what if she saw Sesshomaru? What if he blamed her for all the destruction that HER dragons caused?
(*(*(*)*)*)
How could he forget that tonight was the dragons moon? His own mother had died on the night how could he just leave Rin unprotected? Sesshomaru wasn't one to insult himself but he was so stupid How could he forget ?
Sesshomaru raced through the forest cutting down all who got in his way he had to get to Rin. If she was hurt he'd never forgive himself. Dodging a tree he came to a halt in front of one of the many villages in his lands. The village was being attacked by a dragon he knew he couldn't turn and walk away leaving all the villagers to die. Reluctantly he went and fought the dragon.
The dragon fell to the ground dead its body making a loud thud as it hit. It had taken nearly an hour to destroy the beast. He knew that his lands was one of the most destroyed lands on the Dragons moon because so many dragons resided in his territory but they also helped to protect his lands. Because he was the lord of the land they dragons respected and were loyal to him but on the Dragons moon they lose themselfs in the need to protect and find the mistress. He also knew that the Dragon Mistress was a human who was ruthless and basically care nothing for no one kind of like a human female version of himself.
After destroying the vile beast of a dragon he once again made his way to his ward and retainer. Praying his ward was safe and his dragon had not hurt her he pushed himself harder to get to her faster.
Ahead of him he saw the glow of a campfire beyond the trees he smelt his ward and silently rejoiced that everything was fine. He arrived in the camp and found his ward peacefully sleeping near Ah-Un. Everything seemed ok Rin seemed unharmed Ah-Un looked like he was fairing well.
"Milord " Jaken rejoiced he wasn't going to tell his master Rin was the dragon mistress he would keep it a secret and if Sesshomaru did find out he'd just say he didn't know.
Sesshomaru glared at the toad for being so loud so late in the night. Did he not know how keep his beak shut?
"Sorry milord..." Jaken apologized
"I trust Rin faired well and no harm came to her" Sesshomaru said not looking at the toad but eyeing his ward making sure she was fine.
"Hai, milord Rin is fine everything went well"
"Hn"
(*(*(*)*)*)
Ryuu and Kagome arrived in a place full of many, many dragons flying around. Some large some big and of many different colors.
"Um..what do I do?" Kagome asked Ryuu she didn't know what to do she was knew at this and totally loss.
"Just follow my lead" Ryuu told her remember he had gone through this many a times.
"Fellow Dragons" His voice boomed, all the dragons turned and looked at him "I have brought with me the new Dragon Mistress, Mistress Kagome "
The dragons began to cheer in happiness and they all bowed to there mistress. They had waited so long for her and she was here again finally. One thousand years is a long time to wait for someone.[color=#0000FF][/color]
