rule iv
as far as portrayal goes , i go mainly manga based , with a few references to the anime . my headcanons are also included in my portrayal , & i do my best to try & blend it with canon . there are a few modified headcanons from fanfiction that i use here , and i will try my best to cite any non-canon sources , along with any research i do.i mainly write my kagome in my second verse , where she is 18 - 21 . however, i do change her timeline as i see fit , and tag my aus accordingly with the timeline . ( e.g arc one is 18 - 21 , and would apply to genshin and any verse i see her as an adult in . )

* history
beginning first born child & only daughter of the higurashi shrine , kagome was named after the light her mother saw at her birth , which was presumably from the shikon jewel . destiny a girl born with power more than she could ever know , was dragged down the well on her 15th birthday , revealing that she traveled 500 years into the past . arrival after setting foot in the warring era of japan , she finds a familiar landmark... the sacred tree . afterwards , she found the slumbering half demon , inuyasha . it quickly turned sour , as she was taken into the village where he was originally sealed . it seemed, as far as she & others know , she was the reincarnation of kikyo , who perished 500 years before her birth . broken seal kagome finds herself within desires of humans & demons alike , due to her likeness and divinity . she , as the guardian of the sacred jewel and it's wishes , was often a target for her foes . after the freeing the previously - sealed inuyasha , she strikes the jewel , which shattered it into hundreds , if not thousands of pieces . she journeys with inuyasha to gather the sacred jewel . towards tomorrow after the completion of the defiled shikon jewel , the final battle for it's purity begins . in the last legs of the battle , kagome declares that it was her destiny to fight naraku , and to purify the hurt & hate within him . it isn't until the jewel is wished away by kagome , that her greatest foe finally finds peace .

* abilities
immense spiritual kagome's most noteworthy capability is her infinite spiritual ability . after magatsuhi's defeat and destruction of the jewel , kagome's spiritual prowess improved after the seal on her abilities was lifted . she realized that not only was she kikyo's reincarnation , but also the original protector of the jewel , midoriko . spiritual barriers kagome is able to erect a barrier against evil, which serves as a defensive and offensive attack . the range which her barrier reaches is currently unknown . spiritual projection kagome is able to gather her spiritual energy within her palms for a quick offense , & it is first observed with her encounter with mistress centipede . she also uses this ability to purifye the sacred jewel . archery due to being a reincarnation of both kikyo & midoriko , kagome inherited their past abilities and is able to strike down her enemies with one arrow . it is noted that instead of just putting in her spiritual energy into her sacred arrow , kagome uses her soul to directly strike evil , which makes her exhausted after battles . hand to hand combat while not versed in close combat , kagome is able to defend herself from foes by using strength to push them off of her being . she normally does not encounter enemies within close range . purification kagome is able to exterminate evil by simply being in it's presence , due to the enormity of her soul . she can also physically expel evil , such as curses and spells placed upon her .

* main verses
canon & post-canon divergence .
in my portrayal , kagome is the final host for the power of the shikon jewel , as she intends on being sealed with it . she does not age normally due to the influence of the goshinboku & the power of the jewel itself . if fifty or a hundred years pass by , for kagome , it will only seem like one or even none , depending on how recently she used the goshinboku to travel between eras . however , the goshinboku will always go back and forth 500 years , or to different eras , effectively trapping her in a loop of never aging . PROLOGUE , when i think of you‚ it’s enough to make my heart grow stronger .
( ages : 15 - 17 ) on the day of her 15th birthday , higurashi kagome got ready for school like any other day . it wasn't until something ached in her ribs , & the strong urge to check the family shrine that changed the course of her destiny forever . dragged down by a demon known as mistress centipede , the sacred jewel was clawed out of her ribs , it's purity delicately shining , even when tarnished by dirt and grime . it was then that she discovered that she was burdened with a great destiny ... ARC ONE , my distant voice will reach you someday .
( ages : 18 - 21 ) higurashi kagome wishes the shikon jewel away , forever . in her seemingly innocent wish , she destroyed the jewel , banishing the evil within it . however , the shikon never truly grants the user's wishes , even if they had good intentions . despite kagome defeating the greatest evil ... the jewel's immense power wouldn't simply disappear as she had wished . power could not be created or destroyed... and therefore , the jewel then chose kagome to host it's power . after the defeat of naraku , kagome is then summoned back to her time by the goshinboku , where she is to remain for three years , trapped on the other side . after one faithful day , she feels the power of the well stir . ARC TWO , my heartbeat turns into heartbreak at the thought of eternity .
( ages : 22 - PRESENT DAY ) after discovering that she can travel between the two eras , kagome spends most of her time in the feudal era to hone her abilities . however, even as times change within the feudal era ... she did not . few mused that it was the power of the goshinboku , and how it's demonic aura melded with hers , making her near immortal and reminiscent of previous incarnations of the shikon jewel . as time didn't pass through kagome , but around her , it was the only acceptable explanation ... she tested her theory , resisting on using the goshiboku to see her family , and it seemed like time had finally moved forward , even if it was as much as a milimeter . with this new knowledge , kagome treads very carefully , and solemnly uses the ability to travel between eras due to this .
