Chapter 1
The two ronins slowly melted into the tops of the cars. A rather large white tiger was on a car behind them.
"Die little Ronins!" Lady Kayura laughed from her post on top of the building. "And now, to kill off the last two!" She possed, ready to attack with her Star Sword Scream.
The battle was over and won. Bloody corpses and intreals layed scattered over the red tinted ground. Only a handful of survivers were left standing or in a few cases, sitting in a tree.
"What are you going to wish for Kagome?" Shippo asked. The small fox kit sat on the young girl's shoulder, watching the glowing pink jewel.
"I know." Kagome said and glanced up at the young man sitting in the tree. White hair and equaly white dog ears shown in the morning light.
"Feh, I don't want it." Inuyasha stuck his nose into the air. Some one chuckled behind the young girl.
"Well, if you're not going to wish to be a full demon, then what should we wish for?" Shippo asked. He glanced back at the demon slayer and monk, who were grouped around a young boy.
Kagome stared at the jewel. She could see the shadow of greed and hate battle the bright pink of purity. It was the ever lasting battle between Midoriko and the demons sent to kill her.
"That's what I'll wish for." Kagome whispered. The small fox kit turned to her in suprise. Kagome closed her eyes and whispered her wish.
"Your wish?" A voice asked from far away. Kagome did not hesitate to answer back.
"My wish is for you to rest peacefully after all these years." Kagome projected her thoughts as loud as she could.
"Wish granted." The voice said. A peircing white light forced its way into every partical of Kagome's body, even blinding her. And then, it was gone, along with the jewel.
"Kagome!" A few voices called.
"Kagome what happened?" Shippo asked as he hovered over her face. "Did you make the wish?"
"Yes." Kagome said through clenched teeth. Her entire body hurt as if an elephant ran over her. "I'm fine. I just wished for the battle to be finally over." Kagome smiled, which came out more as a wince.
The sound of a bow string being loosed echoed around the warriors. Three arrows flew past them, towards Kayuri; two knocking out the swords out of her hands, and one grazed her right cheek, leaving a trail of blood.
"Who dares to defy me?" Kayuri screamed as she touched the cut with her finger tips. The Ronins glanced with uncertainty, at each other. Who else would do that to a member of the Dynasty?
Three more arrows were loosed, this time at the cars the Ronins and the tiger were on. Each arrow was accompanied with paper, much to eaveryone's suprise. When the arroms hit the cars, the Ronins, plus the tiger, were free from their short lived prisons.
"Damn you! Show yourself you coward!" Kayuri screamed in anger. A soft chuckle washed over them, giving comfort to the warriors, but sent chills down Kayuri's spine.
"My, we are very impatiant." The voice was smooth and unhurried. It belonged to a young woman with peircing wide brown eyes and ink black hair. She was dressed in what looked like shinto preistess garbs, only the sleaves were tight around her wrists and she wore feaudal armor.
"She's on our side right?" Ryo, the red armor cladded warrior, asked. The other one, who was clad in blue armor, shrugged, but never took his eyes off the new woman. Sure she was easy one the eyes, but that didn't mean he was going to trust her, allie or not.
"Who the hell are you? Your not a Ronin Warrior!" Kayura snapped. How easy she let her gaurd down, only to be attacked. How foolish!
"Just a lowly priestess passing by, who noticed a fellow spirit in need." The young woman answered with a smile. A small feline like creature jumped onto her shoulder from behind. Everyone else jerked their heads back in suprise.
"Who's side do you stand preistess?" Kayura yelled down at her. The cat like creature hissed, making Ryo jump.
"This is just to wierd man." Ryo whispered over his shoulder at Rowan.
"Who's side is she on?" Rowan asked, mostly to himself. Ryo frowned at his friend.
"I stand on the side of all that is alive and good in spirit. And you, Milady, are very confused." The young woman yelled the last part. The feline jumped off her shoulder into a blaze of fire, only to reappear in a bigger form with saber like teeth and two tails.
"Oh man, things are getting weird!" Ryo said and backed up. Whiteblaze sat beside him, purring all the while.
"The cat thing, has two tails!" Roawn yelled out and pointed. Ryo looked at him with the 'no really?' glare. Rowan ignored him and went on to yell, "And fire is coming from its feet!"
The young woman jumped onto the cat's back. The cat, to the astonishment of the three humans, sprang into the air and began to fly straight at Kauyra.
"Kirara!" Sango cried despreatly. The two tailed cat took its last breath and was gone. The woman's body was racked with wet sobs.
"Sango dear, you know she was old." The monk said from behind her, laying a comforting hand on Sango's shoulder. The woman nodded meekly and hugged the lifeless body.
"I know." Sango whispered. In her lap, curled into small balls, were four small two tailed kittens.
"It's just too much to take. After Kagome-" Sango left off and cried even harder. Miroku looked away. He knew what she ment. After the wish, Kagome never truely recovered all her strenght. Only after bearing the half-demno's child, did she finaly pass from this world.
Kayura threw the sword in her last desperate atempt to keep the preistess away from her. It hit home, and drove itself into the preistess's left shoulder. The woman let out a sharp cry.
"Damn." The young growled. The sword had managed to go through bone and out the other side. She grabbed the hilt, and in one quick move, yanked it out.
"Hey! Preistess lady!" Ryo shouted. He, along with Rowan, were riding the great white tiger beneath her.
"Leave this to the big boys!" Rowan shouted up to her. He would regreat this later, but for now, her saw her beaten already. The young woman shook her head, which was fogging up with the lack of blood, and pulled out another arrow.
Halfway through loosing the arrow, she lost all consciousness and fell. The arrow, however, loosed and flew straight and true.
"I got her!" Rowan yelled, as Whiteblaze jumped forward.
"Kayura got away!" Ryo growled. His frustration was soon forgotten when the two tailed cat landed in front of them and walked over to the young woman's body, which was now in the arms of Rowan.
