Tears of a broken miko by Guardian of the Nine Realms

Kagome's mission

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Inuyasha.

Kagome was summoned to the Eastern Lords study. It had been four years since Naraku's death.

Kagome had heard of the Eastern Lords powerful miko. She was one of the most powerful in all the lands.

Kagome had came to the Eastern Lord and asked if she could train with the powerful Miko that resided in his castle.

Lord Taro agreed. But only if Kagome agreed to be his daughters protector for one full year. She would spend a total of two years in the Eastern Castle.

Kagome had just finished her training with the Miko named Hana.

The Eastern Lord had worked with her as well.

If this human was going to protect his daughter than she had to be trained properly.

Kagome knocked on the door of Lord Taro's study.

"Enter." His deep voice said.

She turned the handle and walked in.

She bowed as soon as she stepped in. She rose a second after.

"Kagome, we have been through this. You do not need to bow." Taro said as he stood and walked around his desk.

Kagome watched as Taro approached her. He rested his hands on her shoulders.

"You are family to me and my daughter. If my mate could have met you, she would have cared for you dearly." Taro said with a smile.

Kagome smiled.

Taro turned after another smile in return and walked back to his desk. He stood behind it and faced Kagome.

He looked at Kagome has he handed her a small scroll. She stepped forward and took it from him.

"That scroll has the name of someone I need you to take out. I know you have just started this protection mission in protecting my daughter, but they say the fight with Naraku made you cold and I need you to take out the one that threatens my family. There is a rumor that says you left your friends a moon after you had returned from being home for three years. They think you dead." Taro said.

"What is your point milord?" Kagome asked.

Taro smirked.

"That means you get the job done well with no questions asked. You would make a good mercenary. I am an ice demon, so is my family. You know this, so I had given you a fraction of my ice bending power for the rest of your life. I wish to see how you handle it. The name of your target is on the scroll." Taro said.

Kagome opened the scroll.

Her eyes widened.

She looked at Taro as she closed the scroll.

"The Western Lords general?!" She asked.

Taro took a deep breath.

"He worked with Naraku. If you'll remember, I told you my mate was killed by Naraku. I wish to take out all of those to do with Naraku. The reminder will be gone." Taro said.

"Milord, that can start a war with the West." Kagome said.

"I understand that you have fallen for one of the Western brothers but you have to do what you are ordered to. I have a ball tonight for my daughter's birthday. I have invited the other Royal families of the lands. And some of them bring their generals and lieutenants for protection. And there is something else." Taro paused.

"What is that milord?" Kagome asked.

Taro looked at Kagome with a serious look.

"Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Inuyasha's father has been revived." Taro said.

Kagome's eyes widened.

"So they all be at the ball?" She asked.

Taro nodded.

He handed Kagome a plain silver mask. It covered her whole face.

"Your aura has changed since you have seen your allies last. You have gained stronger miko powers and some of my ice powers. You have been trained with both. But if they can't see your face then they won't know who you are. I will be having some of my other guards were mask too so they do not catch on that I am trying to hide you." Taro said.

She took the mask from him.

Kagome had a serious cold look in her eyes.

"Do I kill him in public or alone?" She asked.

Taro smirked.

"Alone." He said.

Kagome would take care of it tonight.

She would take out Sesshomaru's General.
