Chapter One:

Kanda was pissed. And why was he pissed? Simple. Because that idiot Komui decided to put him on another assignment with someone he hated, and that someone happened to be a certain beansprout called Allen Walker. It was bad enough that his so-called 'partner' was a soft-hearted moron, but the mission was often put at risk because the beansprout wouldn't kill his damn targets!

Well, actually Kanda had had a choice as to which mission he had to take. It was either this one, of trying to find an Innocence user in corrupted Japan where they heard strange rumours of an 'angel', or another which was to go to find the general. And right after their stupid trip to the town which was supposedly haunted by a doll. Kanda had been ready to volunteer for the general, but Komui simply sang out that Kanda was going to go on the mission to find the damn angel.

Suddenly a bright white light pulled him out of his grumblings and he glared up the shrine steps he was on to see the shadowy figures of two people that seemed to be locked in combat.

"Hey beansprout, wait until-" Kanda started, but got even more pissed of when he realized that Allen had already rushed up the stairs. Rolling his eyes, he ran after his idiot partner.

And he came upon the makings of a full-out battle.

Kagome grunted out and flung the demon away from her, pissed that she had let a low-class youkai (demon) catch her off guard and let him wound her. She felt two others presences but had to quickly shrug it off and doge an attack from the slimy centipede youkai.

She let out a groan when she successfully detached one of its arms from its disgusting insect body and a lot of slime covered her from head to toe. Snarling, she looked up at the demon with renewed malice.

"You bastard. Do you know how long it's going to take me to get your stink off me?!" Kagome snarled at the demon who did nothing more than try to attack again. She dodged and took out the boomerang Sango had given her before she had died at the hands of Naraku.

'Take it, my sister…'

Blood.

Darkness.

Screams.

Kagome quickly shook her head angrily to clear it of the flashbacks. Now was not the time to start dwelling on the memories she had so desperately tried to seal away.

A large bruise formed at her side as she was hit by the centipede's tail and for once, she was thankful that the demon had distracted her from the annoying memories she had tried for so long to repress.

She looked up at the demon and let her lips from a dark smirk. This demon had pissed her off one too many times. But before she could end its pitiful life, she saw that it was being held back by a large, silver-clawed hand. She followed the hand back to its owner and raised a delicate brow at the two men who had so rudely interrupted her battle.

"Can I help you?" she asked with feigned politeness.

----

Kanda looked at the girl with barely concealed surprise. While she had numerous injuries, it seemed that she held no fear from the akuma…or what he thought was an akuma. This akuma was different than all the rest, having an almost humanoid form.

"Can I help you?" Kanda was pulled from his thoughts when he heard the irritated tone the girl had asked the question in.

"Miss, would you please move back so me and my partner can destroy the akuma?" God, what was the beansprout hesitating for? Just kill the damn akuma so they could go! However he was surprised when the girl did not move back and instead voiced another question.

"What the hell are you talking about, akuma? That is a centipede youkai, and a right annoying one too."

The surprises didn't stop there either. As the beansprout tried to exorcise the youkai or whatever it was, the youkai simply ignored him and went back to trying to attack the girl. Allen yelled out 'Innocence Invocation' and his weapon turned into a gun, but the beams of light simply turned parts of the 'youkai' into ash, and didn't make it immediately disappear.

Kanda was about to intervene when he saw the girl step forward with a snort. "Wow. Such a low level of ki. You need more holy ki to destroy a youkai."

----

When Kagome first saw him fire the beams of light from his…arm (wtf?)…she had thought that maybe there was still some holy power left in some people but it seemed that the power level of holy ki he possessed was not enough. He was not drawing on enough of it.

She stepped forward, annoyed that this had taken longer than it should have. "Wow. Such a low level of ki. You need more holy ki to destroy a youkai." She formed a bow out of her pure miko ki and drew back on the bowstring. A ball of energy slowly sharpened into an arrow and Kagome took careful aim before releasing the arrow at the youkai.

----

To say that Kanda was shocked would be an understatement. He had just seen what he assumed to be a normal civilian (although humans should not even exist in Tokyo, due to Japan being the Millennium Earl's territory) completely demolish the akuma or youkai thing with barely any effort. And when he had felt her Innocence, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. Her power was beyond anything he had felt before.

It was not only powerful, but also it felt like she was using Innocence, only it was more concentrated, and more natural, as if she had not been bonded with it, but as if it was a part of herself.

"Wha-?" Allen was cut off when the girl swung sharply to meet his eyes.

"You! What the hell did you think you were doing, attacking a youkai with that amount of holy ki?"

I-what-but-you-" Allen stuttered under the heat of the girl's glare. She took in a deep breath and motioned him to come closer.

"Come here and let me heal you. You were injured, no?" Allen glanced down with surprise and saw that he did have a rather long gash marring his side. Kagome sighed and put her hand over his wound. Her hand glowed with her miko ki and slowly Allen and Kanda saw that the skin was muscle was stitching itself back together. Only when his skin was back to its flawless state did Kagome let her hand drop.

She let out a breath and stepped back, admiring her handiwork with a critical eye. When she seemed satisfied, she turned and went back into the shrine, leaving one gaping exorcist and another suspicious one.

The two exorcists were stunned however, when an annoyed voice called from the shrine. "Well, are you two just going to stand there staring at my door all day or are you going to come in?!"

----

Kagome looked at the two with a calculating eye. One seemed to be indifferent to his surroundings, but whenever Kagome moved, his hand tightened minutely on the grip of his katana. He had long…blue…hair held up in a ponytail and he wore robes that had a cross on them.

The other was also quite odd, with snowy-white hair and a tattoo in black ink on the left side of his face, ending with a pentagram above his eye. Somehow, his left eye seemed to radiate dark energy and Kagome found that his eye was tinged with dark energy not of his own.

Interesting. That was the only way to describe the two men sitting in her kitchen. She felt the beginnings of adrenaline pump through her veins, and her mood brightened when she realized that there might still be some excitement to be done in her life since the feudal era.

"My name is Higurashi Kagome. Why have you two decided to appear at my shrine?"
