The Past Coming Back by Huntress11

The Opening

Hello everyone. This is my second book on Dokuga so I hope you all enjoy it.

Chapter 1: The Opening

I looked at the group of family, friends, and people interested in the feudal era. I resisted the urge to scratch my nose in irritation at feeling of demonic auras pressing down on me. It had been five years since I returned to the future permanently. Since then I had sensed that many demons lived in society, but were hidden under concealment spells. Many among the crowd were demons or at least a third demon. I bowed to the crowd in greeting.

"Hello and welcome to the opening of Feudal Museum. My name is Kagome Higurashi and I thank you all for coming to this place of historical items. I hope you all enjoy viewing the items, I have gathered over the years. If you have any questions please just ask me," I told them. "Now I shall open the doors to the rooms and allow you all to see the collections," I told them.

I unlocked one set of doors and opened them as wide as I could. This room contained weapons from the past and details on how they were made and who they were used by. This was one of my favorites, but still far below my top favorite. The second set of doors led to art collections, which took me many years to find. Most of it is was pottery and a few were paintings of great Lords. People most of these precious items buried in attics or hidden in shrine storage rooms much unknown of their value. I went to the third and final door to open it to the public eye for viewing. This was my pride and joy. The room contained clothing styles from the feudal era. Along the walls were assortments of clothing used by men along with information on who would wear that type of clothing.

 I listened to the many gasps that come from the people in each room and smiled. My favorite seems to draw more people than the rest of the rooms. I stood right in front of my favorite piece of clothing. It was much like Sesshomaru's, but instead of white, blue, yellow, and red, it was black and white with pink cherry blossoms on the shoulder.

"Miss Higurashi, may I ask how you know that these are styles from the feudal era," a young woman asked.

"I grew up on a shrine that has connections back to the feudal era. Inside we had many scrolls on the daily life and some drawings of clothes worn by people from each era leading up to this very era, we live in," I answered.

"Oh thank you for allowing me to see this view of history," she told me, "Will there be any changes to exhibit soon?"

"No, but I will be giving information about legends that originate from the feudal era starting next week," I responded.

"I will be coming to visit the museum again," she said.

"I would be happy to see you again," I replyed, "Just call me and I can set up a time for you to come listen to the myths if you want. I already have three hundred and twenty people coming to a few meetings. I will see if I can fit you in somewhere.

"Wow, so many interested in the feudal era," she gasped.

"Not many people know much of the era, because the documents were burned in a fire that destroyed the great Western Palace, which will be something I cover in the legends meeting," I said.

Many people had come and asked me questions about the items in the exhibits. I answered them to the best of my abilities. A few hours later very few humans were in the museum, but a lot of yokai were still here. Sometime later, a large group of yokai approached me. I looked and can tell they want information, which should not be shared with the human population.

"How may I help you Lord Tijaro," I asked with a low bow

"How is it that you know me wench," he demanded.

"And how is it that even after five centuries you yokai still call me wench. Be glad you are not Inuyasha and are inside my new museum," I responded.

"How do you know of Inuyasha? He has been dead nearly three centuries," growled Tijaro baring his teeth.

"Calm," I commanded sending a small spark of ki at him, "I have not talked with a yokai who knows me from then for nearly five centuries."

"Bitch answer me," growled Taijiro.

I glared at him and sent a sharper sting of ki.

"Apparently even after so long your manners towards mikos are no better than they were back then, cat. I have not been called wench since I returned to this time. If Sesshomaru's ass is still alive tell him, he can find his brother’s wench here. He will understand what I mean. Now if you will excuse me it is time for the museum to close and you need to leave," I ordered him and his followers.

I ushered the yokai out of my museum with a slight push of my ki. Most of them growled lowly at me. I shook my head in exasperation. They really had not learned much over the years.

"Make sure to relay that to Sesshomaru, he will tell you who I am," I said appealing to Taijiro's naturally curious side.

I walked back inside and looked around, the rooms had people clearing out, as I told  them that I must close up for the day. I locked the doors and looked back at the few young yokai that were still there waiting for me. I locked the front door and turned back to the young ones and sighed.

"You are safe here young ones. No need to hide what you are. I know much about demons and will not be shocked the front door is oak and there for not able to be seen through," I told them kindly.

A few removed their concealment charms, while others remain untrusting. I sighed and looked around at those who have shown themselves. I smiled at them and remove the hold I had on my aura, and my small concealment spell. My marks as an ally and advisor to the Western Lord appeared. Many of the young ones bowed low.

"How is it that you have the markings of an ally and advisor of the Western Lord? Lord Sesshomaru has not bestowed that on any one human or yokai in over five centuries," demanded a young wolf yokai.

"I was a time traveler in my older teenage years. I trust most of you have heard of the miko, Kagome and her companions, Sango, Miroku, Kirara, Inuyasha, and her adopted son Shippo. I am the miko Kagome. I was forced back here after I wished on the Shikon Jewel," I replayed.

"Then why has your Lord has not come back to claim you as advisor again," asked a young female yokai.

"It has been many years for him the connection may have faded in the past five centuries. He is very busy even now. Now please young ones come back tomorrow and I will tell you more information about the feudal era. I will answer what questions you have within reason of course, but it will have to wait until then. Feel free to bring parents and friends, only yokai of course," I reminded them before ushering them out the door.

They whined, as I locked the door behind me. I walked home and when I got home I collapsed on my bed immediately. It has been so long since I had done anything, which demanded so much energy.

Alright that is all for now. Any and all comments help. Please let me know what you think about. I will most likely update tomorrow if not I will on Sunday. Sorry to readers who read misspellings. I have gone back and fixed them. I was tired from school when I wrote this and forgot to spell check.
