Chapter 2: The Gauntlet

I don’t own InuYasha, but, I do own Arcangel! If anyone wants to use her you must have my permission.


Chapter 2: The Gauntlet

~The Shrine~

“Okay, I am sure that’s everything.” Kagome said as she finished packing for the Feudal Era.

“I sure hope so; I have been waiting on you.” An all too familiar voice shouted from the window.

“InuYasha, I told you that I would be back tonight. The night only just began,” Kagome said with a sigh, “You are so impatient.”

‘Feh, I came to get you because everyone is whining about you being gone.” InuYasha said scrambling for a comeback

“The others, or just you,” Kagome said giving him an unbelieving look, “Oh, never mind. If you are here you might as well make yourself useful. Help me with my bags.”

With that InuYasha grabbed the bag and Kagome and went out the window.

“InuYasha I could have made it out the house myself you know. There is something called a door.” She yelled at the hanyou. “Now put me down!”

“Nope, you can get there quicker if I carry you.” InuYasha said has he held Kagome tightly and thought to himself. ‘Gods she smells good, she sure has changed in three years. I only hope that I can keep up this façade, I don’t want to let her go.”

~Feudal Era~

“Can you let me go now?” Kagome said in an angered tone.

“Geese, aren’t you thankful today. I was just trying to help you out and this is the thanks I get.” InuYasha said as he reluctantly put her down.

“More like you were helping me help yourself,” Kagome said happy to be on the ground. “Go on back to camp there is something I need to do….ALONE!”

“Oh really, and what is that?” InuYasha asked in a joking manner.

“Well I got a gift from my father and I was told that I should open it…alone.” Kagome explained.

“Well, if you want to open it that’s fine. But I am not going to let you walk out here by yourself alone. There are too many things out here that want the jewel shards. You can open it with me around. Is that okay?” InuYasha said with an unbelievable amount of concern in his voice.

“I guess there’s no arguing with you is there?” Kagome said thankful that InuYasha was going to be there. She wanted to have a shoulder to cry on if she got too emotional.

“Nope, there isn’t. So where do you want to open it?” He asked.

“Over by the God Tree.” Kagome said as she pointed in the direction of the tree.

So the two headed towards the God Tree and Kagome began to carefully unwrap the box. Inside was a beautiful sliver wide-banded bracelet and a piece of parchment, which read:

Dearest Kagome,

Unfortunately if you are reading this letter I am no longer among the living and you are now 18. You have come of age and are now a woman, so I leave you with this; The Gauntlet of Arcangel. I found it on an Archeological dig and I want you to have it.

You remember the story of Arcangel don’t you? She was the angel that was cast down from the heavens by her comrades. Cast down because of her love for malice. Her punishment was to walk alone forever in to mortal world never to return to heaven. It was possible because before she fell, her robe was cut in half allowing her to live forever. Torn by what happened, she cast a spell that would allow her to sleep until a female h**r (the two middle letters were unreadable) could wield her gauntlet. Only then she could be happy, because, she would have a kindred spirit to spend her time with and be able to repent for her sins.

My dearest Kagome, I am truly sorry that I did not make it to your eighteenth birthday. I am sure that you have turned into a fine woman. Life has not prepared you for the journey that you are about to embark on but always remember... I am with you and you are my little angel.

All My Love,

You’re Loving Father

Kagome was in tears. Of course she had remembered the story, he told it to her every night. He never told her that he had uncovered the gauntlet though. Why had he kept it a secret and why did he want to give it to her? InuYasha on the other hand didn’t like the sound of the letter at all…it was too cryptic. Not to mention the gauntlet had a strange smell to it.

“He really wanted me to have this?” Kagome looked it in confusion at first but then in awe. “I suppose I should honor him and put it on.”

“No Kagome don’t, I have a strange feeling about it.” InuYasha said trying to get the gauntlet away from her.

“It is mine and I want to put it on!” Kagome said putting the gauntlet around her wrist and fastening the clasp.

Suddenly the wind changed and InuYasha became more frantic. He did not like the feeling he was having and he turned to Kagome/

“InuYasha, what’s happening?” Kagome said with a whine, “My back feels like it is on fire and I can’t get this thing off.”

“Let me try,” InuYasha said as he went to grab for the clasp, “Umm Kagome…the clasp is gone, there’s no way to take it off.”

Just as those words escaped from his mouth Kagome let out an earth shattering scream…

~Somewhere in an Isolate Cave~

“My Gauntlet, my female heir is wearing the Gauntlet. The time has come for her to know her true form.”

Cliff hanger I know. See I told you that this chapter would be longer. I hope that it was enjoyable. If the chapter is liked then I will continue, but, if I don’t get any reviews I will stop it right where it is. I have written most of it, but, it seems the only way to get reviews is with threats…Maybe next time: Chapter 3: The Transformation. Please read and review.
