Chp 2. Kagome's first victory

Kagome found herself running through the forest.

'Why am I here again?'

She then began to run faster, towards her destination. Again, she felt the waves of concern and fury.

'What is wrong with me? Is this a vision of the future? What is gonna happen? Who am I after?'

She then burst into the clearing. Expecting to wake up, she was surprised when she actually landed in the clearing.

Not being able to control her body, she looked straight ahead at a tree. Where a figure sat, cloaked in darkness.

'Who is that? Why am I after them? Am I after them?'

She felt her body take a step closer. Fury and concern mixed together to create panic.

'What is happening to me? Who is that? Is he the one I'm after?

She took and another step closer, and just as her foot hit the ground, the figures head jerked up.

Kagome woke gasping for air. A minute or two later she noticed she was moving. Looking around, Kagome finally noticed things.

She was riding on Kirara while the other's walked beside her.

And

It was daytime,

And

Three she couldn't remember the dream she had just had.

Relaxing, Kagome looks around at her surroundings. They were travailing on a dirt road, in a field of yellow flowers. Looking behind her, she notice that they had left the forest far behind, it wasn't anywhere in sight.

Sighing quietly too herself, she let the aroma of the flower's take their affect on her. Her sighing again made the other turn around to notice her.

"Ah, I see your finally awake lady Kagome." Miroku said merrily.

"Is something the matter Kagome?" Sango asked concernedly.

"yeah." she said quietly

"Well what is it?" Inuyasha asked irritably.

"I feel happy."

They all face faulted.

"Umm...Kagome?" Shippo asked.

"Yes?" Kagome said with a smile as she looked up at them.

"Isn't that a good thing?" he continued.

"Yes but I feel very happy." she said slowly as her smile grew.

"What the hell is wrong with being happy wench?" Inuyasha yelled trying to get her mad so she would wipe that creepy smile off her face.

"no, no. you don't understand. I feel insanely happy," she said this even slower and her smile grew even more.

The others glanced at each other twitching, not knowing what to do, because that smile was just creeping them out.

"AHHHHHHH." Kagome screamed in delight as she ran circles around everyone.

Now they all knew that when she said insanely happy, she meant it. Every since she said that she hadn't stop moving, and that was earlier that afternoon, and it was now becoming sunset.

At first Shippo played with her, they spun, and ran, and jumped on Inuyasha, but then he (Shippo) soon got tired and went to sleep on Sango. Then she raced with Kirara, a transformed Kirara, but soon the poor fire cat collapsed from exhaustion, and now resided on Sango also.

But Kagome didn't seem to be slowing down a bit. She was now doing cartwheels non-stop, you know, doing cartwheels so fast it like a wheel rolling, without falling on it's side, she'd cartwheel ahead of them, turn around and cartwheel behind them.

She caught them off guard when she used Miroku as a balancing beam. She ran up behind him, put her hands on his shoulders, and then flipped high in the air landing in front of Inuyasha, making him fall down from surprise.

Without hesitation, as soon as her feet hit the ground, she took off ahead of them until she was out of sight.

Helping Inuyasha up, Miroku asked: "Aren't you going to go after her Inuyasha?"

"What and bring that back!" he yelled, with mock astonishment.

For once, they both agreed with him.

They all were enjoying the silence, when an ear-piercing scream caused them to halt in their steps and Inuyasha too cover his ears, Kagome had worn-out both Shippo and Kirara so much that they only stirred in their sleep.

The trio then saw Kagome running at top speed toward them, they expected to see a demon after her but didn't, instead as Kagome got closer they noticed that she still wore that insane grin which, if possible, had become bigger, sending chills down their spines.

"SANGO!" She screamed, as she got closer.

Said person grimaced, while the other two gave her sympathetic looks, while being glad that they weren't her targets.

When she got to them she picked Sango up by her arms and spun her around, all the while chanting, "Sango, Sango, Sango!" Shippo and Kirara went flying, but thankfully, they were caught by Inuyasha and Miroku. You can bet they woke up then.

"What is it Kagome?" Sango said gratefully when she was finally put down.

Kagome was dancing from foot to foot, obviously excited by something.

"Well. What is it?" Inuyasha said becoming annoyed

Kagome was obviously too excited to say, because she suddenly let out an irritated growl, grabbed Sango's arm and took off running, but not before grabbing Miroku's arm also, who out of fear grabbed Inuyasha's. Shippo and Kirara hung on for dear life.

Kagome had been dragging them for a while before Inuyasha decided to speak up.

"Kagome where the hell are you taking us... ahhh?" just as he finally got the words out did Kagome stop and dropped them.

Sitting up they saw that Kagome had brought them into a forest, in front of the branches of a giant weeping willow (which are my favorite type of trees.).

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU BRING US HERE?"

"Yes Kagome what is so special about this...ohhh." Sango had started to ask, but stopped when Kagome pushed back the branches to reveal a clearing with the tree itself in the middle. And everywhere you looked where hot springs. Big ones little ones, hot ones, warm ones. They were everywhere. Round 20-40 of them.

Kagome who had had her back to them tuned around to face hem, a normal smile on her face.

"I was thinking with all these hot springs, we could all enjoy a nice soak."

"Are you sure about that Kagome, aren't you forgetting something?" Sango asked as she came to stand by a now normal Kagome and looking accusingly at Miroku.

"No problem Sango." Kagome said triumphantly as she took her bag from Inuyasha, who was holding it for her. Dug through it for a moment Kagome finally emerged with two bathing suits

"Yes excellent Kagome." Sango smiled while clapping her hands.

"We'll be right back." She said as she and Kagome went behind the branches of the weeping willow, while the boys stayed on the inside.

After a few minutes the girls emerged again, the guys had already shed most of their clothes and were sitting in a hot spring in the shape of a misshapen R.

Sango had insisted that she wore the one piece. It was a dark purple, and most of the back was out, but she thought it was less revealing then Kagome's bathing suit. So that left Kagome with the two-piece, it was dark green. Expecting for Sango to do that, Kagome also brought along a pair of daisy-dukes to put over the bikini bottom, and wore a black fishnet shirt.

They chose a hot spring that was a little ways off from the guys.

After a while of soaking Sango finally got up the courage to ask Kagome something she had been meaning to ask for a while. "Kagome what the hell was wrong with you today, I was feeling more than willing to render you unconscious."

Kagome blinked (although Sango couldn't tell because of the now wet bandage) at her friend for a while before smiling out of unease. "Um...I don't know. It's been real hard to control my emotions lately" seeing the confusion on her friends face she continued. "You remember when you guys found me asleep in that tree and I...umm started yelling at Inuyasha." Here Sango nodded yes. "Well I usually get mad at him for being rude, but the anger just took over. And today I was happy, but I was so happy I got drunk off it."

The girls were silent as Kagome finished. That is, they were quiet. Bubbles had started to form from the middle of the spring and out popped Shippo.

"AHH, SHIPPO WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?" both Sango and Kagome screamed.

Looking as innocent as ever he pointed to a spring by the base of the tree where one of the roots had come up, and held the sleeping fire cat on it.

"But how did you get here?"

"Oh." He said smiling. "All of the springs are connected." In the background the sound of someone gasping, and water splashing is heard.

Meanwhile the girls and Shippo had started to play with each other in the water.

They had just thrown Shippo over to the other side of the spring, and were waiting for him to resurface, when they felt bubbles blowing on their lower halves.

They froze not sure of what to do, and yelped aloud, when they felt hands grabbed their butts, and their bodies being lifted out of the water.

"Well look at what I caught." Miroku laughed aloud. His laughter was soon cut short by a clawed hand grabbing the top of his head.

"And look what I caught." Inuyasha said boredly, as he set Miroku down then looked at the girls, who had ducked under the water out of habit, as they glared at the topless monk and Inuyasha, Who's, body shined from being wet in the little moonlight that got through the branches of the weeping willow. Casting a glow to the muscled forms.

Looking at each other with red faces, the girls dunked out of sight.

Bubbles on the other side of the clearing signified the girls emerging from the water. After a while and the girls didn't emerge and he bubbles started to become bigger, the guys started to worry.

Before they even reached the bubbling hot spring, it exploded. When the water died down in a giant water serpent loomed overhead leering at them. Its scales were purple, while it's under belly was lavender. It didn't have any arms, and only one eye. It had two pale-yellow horns on its head, and green hair.

"Where are the girls?" Miroku asked Inuyasha, staff in hand.

"Kagome? You better be alright stupid girl." Inuyasha said quietly to himself.

Inuyasha picked up tetsuaiga not takings his eyes off the demon loomed over their heads.

When Inuyasha had gotten hold of the tetsuaiga, the demon lunged forward, mouth open revealing sharper then razor teeth.

The guys scattered out of the demon's way. Instead of turning around to come at them again, the demon dived into one of the hot springs.

"Inuyasha where will it come up again?" Miroku asked looking at all the springs frantically.

"I can't tell when it's under the water." Inuyasha answered also looking around.

All was silent as they awaited the demon's next move, but when the move was made, they were unprepared.

It had snuck up behind them, coming out the spring it was intending to bite Miroku's head off, when a giant boomerang came out now where and knocked it onto the ground.

"Need some help boys?" Sango said catching (what is that boomerang's name?) her weapon, with Kagome by her side arrows out and ready, while Shippo sat on a transformed Kirara's back, all fully dressed.

"No we're just fine. We can handle it by ourselves, right Miroku? Miroku?" Inuyasha said indifferently.

"Maybe we should go ahead and let the girls finish the demon." Miroku said already by the girls' side.

"Traitor."

Just then the demon rammed into Inuyasha, sending him to the ground, and charged at the others.

Inuyasha sprang into action. Leaping in front of the charging demon Inuyasha prepared to stroke it down.

But someone beat him to it. If not for his keen hearing and fast reflexes, he would have been killed by the purifying arrow that passed his shoulder and singeing it a little, hitting its target killing it instantly.

"You stupid girl." he turning to Kagome. "You could have killed me."

Kagome wasn't hearing him, that purifying arrow had drained her, a lot. "Not now Nu Nu. I'm too tired to argue." She said leaning on Miroku and closing her eyes falling to sleep immediately.

"Nu Nu?" Inuyasha said making a face.

"Lady Kagome has defiantly been acting strange lately." Miroku said as he put the sleeping hanyou on Kirara's back with Shippo.

"Nu Nu?"

"Yes, I asked her about that. She told me she couldn't control her emotions, she said they got out of control."

"Nu Nu?"

That night as everyone slept in the forest where the willow springs were, Kagome was having another dream. This dream was different from the rest. She found herself fighting a mantis demon.

She noticed that she didn't fight with a bow and arrow, but with a sword and her claws.

She wasn't a bad fighter she realized. There wasn't anyone to protect, no one was there except her and the demon, and she was having fun.

She loved the way she moved gracefully when dodging and charging the demon, and she barely even got a scratch on herself.

She was free. Having fun as she fought the demon. Doing tricky maneuvers, using different techniques. She was a professional.

I never knew fighting could be so fun. So that's why Inuyasha does it all the time.' She thought as she finally killed the demon.

And as she sheathed her sword.

She woke up, with a new emotion.

That day as the gang was walking; Kagome couldn't help but feel anxious, restless, hostile, and bored. To pass the time as they traveled Kagome listened to her CD player, and jumped along to the music ignoring everyone else.

Everyone had a little distance from her, especially Inuyasha. You see he didn't know Kagome was feeling hostile today, and he made her mad.

Flashback

"Hurry up you stupid humans. We don't have all day." Inuyasha yelled at the slowly moving group.

"Wait Inuyasha, we just woke up and had breakfast. If we move to fast, we'll get sick." Kagome said in a sweet voice as she rolled up her sleeping.

"Well you're a hanyou now, at least you could move faster stupid girl."

Kagome felt her eye twitch. "Inuyasha...if you don't be patient...I'll...I'll..."

"You'll what. Sit me and go home." He laughed feeling as if he had the last say.

Kagome didn't know what came over her. It was as if something in her had just screamed ATTACK '. Because the next thing she knew was that, her ears laid flat on her head and she had charged Inuyasha.

Inuyasha who was caught completely off guard by this (who wouldn't) had been bulled over into the bushes.

It was truly a horrific sight for the others. They knew Kagome had a temper, but come on she just brutally attacked the unsuspecting hanyou into the bushes. They couldn't see the two hanyous, but the bushes were shaking violently and anguished screams and yells were coming from it.

End Flashback

Kagome was listening to the music, but then she wasn't. She was thinking. She didn't know what was wrong with her. In the day she couldn't' control her emotions, and one was always dominate, and at night she felt all calm, peaceful, and relaxed. She felt like her old self at night. And then have dreams that she couldn't even remember the next day.

She didn't understand the mood swings she's been having. She hadn't meant to attack Inuyasha; it was just like something inside her had snapped.

She was listening to Eminem (I am not going to tell you which song let your imagination run wild.)

Everyone else was scared now, and became jumpy when she neared them. She didn't notice any of it; she was off in her own little world of music.

Inuyasha was on the breaking point of just killing her right then and there, when he sensed a demon aura about.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled towards the slightly demonic miko.

"WHAT!" was her irritated answer, you see she had also sensed the demon and was itching for a fight

"Do you sense any shards?"

Immediately everyone got on their guard. Because Inuyasha asking that meant a demon was near.

"Yeah I sense...umm...three. And there coming from up there." She said as she pointed towards the treetops.

All was silent, as they waited for the youkai to show itself. The silence was soon interrupted by the rapid flapping of wings. That all hey heard at first was the wings, then the tree tops starting to move, and then with a slashing noise, a giant praying mantis.

Kagome tried to choke down the gasped that threatened to escape as a feeling of DE JA VU hit her.

Well this feels strangely familiar.' She thought to herself as her hand moved sub-consciously to her side, where a sword would be, without her noticing of course.

"Kagome, where are the jewel shards." Inuyasha voice yelled bringing her back to reality.

"Umm...in the back of the head!" Kagome told him, her hostility and anxiousness to fight slipping away.

"Right. Sango you and Miroku distract it while, I go in for the kill. Kagome you stay back with Shippo."

"Come on Kagome!" Shippo said nervously as he pulled her out of the clearing and behind some bushes.

Behind the bushes, Kagome and Shippo watched the battle. They weren't doing too good.

Sango and Miroku were trying to distract the demon, but it was hard since it mainly just kept its eyes Inuyasha. Sango threw her boomerang, but the youkai's skin was tough as cement, so the weapon just circled off it and back towards.

Miroku couldn't use his wind tunnel because of the jewel shards implanted in the youkai's head. So he was fighting with his staff.

And Inuyasha wasn't any better. The mantis was fast and quick to his intentions. It didn't even seem to feel the wounds that they were inflicting on it, it just seemed to want to bite or chop Inuyasha's head off.

Inuyasha had managed to dodge all of its attacks significantly, but his hair had come into many narrow escapes.

He was just a bout to attack the youkai, when he noticed a dark figure hanging on a flimsy branch above the youkai's head, by one arm.

Narrowing his eyes his eyes, he finally saw what it was. "Kagome, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? GET AWAY FROM THERE." but it was too late. She had dropped and straddled the youkai's shoulders, prying at the jewel shards.

The mantis was furious. It completely ignored the others and started to try to get the girl of his back. It jerked and bucked around, and tried to get at her with its pincers, but they couldn't reach her.

In the mean time, Kagome was having the time of her life. Adrenaline was pumping in her ears, as she rode the youkai like a bull rider.

With one, wild jerk Kagome went flying, and landed up side down on her back, on the ground. Still laughing.

"Whew! What a rush." She said standing up and brushing the dust off her robes, the three-jewel shard clutched firmly in her hands. Ignoring the astonished bug-eyes, everyone was giving.

"KAGOME WATCH OUT." Inuyasha yell as he pushed her out of the way of the youkai's pincer, but he wasn't so lucky.

He had gotten the full blow. Through the back and out the stomach. His blood dripped off the demon's pincer like a leaky faucet. You could see the pain clearly written on his face.

And just as fast as he struck Inuyasha the youkai yanked his pincer back out with a painful jerk spurting blood on the ground behind Inuyasha.

With the pincer, gone Inuyasha sank to his knees, tetsuaiga supporting him up as he breathed in hard, the area around him turning dark from his blood.

Kagome stood horrified at the sight like everyone else. But she was the most. That was suppose to be me'

Miroku seemed to snap out of the trance they had been in first. With the shards, safely out of the way he quickly used his wind tunnel. That job done he turned around to see Sango had started to bandage the now unconscious Inuyasha. Kagome had sunk down on the base of a tree a ways off from Inuyasha, Shippo by her side. At first, he wondered why Kagome hadn't bandaged Inuyasha, but then it came to him. The rancid smell of blood. With her new hanyou senses, she must have felt sick from the smell.

'Poor thing.' He thought grimly.

It was dark now. They had moved inward into the forest away from the battle sight.

When they had settled in, and a fire was successfully running, Inuyasha decided to wake up.

Looking around he saw everyone was asleep, well they looked and sounded asleep to him.

With a grunt, Inuyasha lifted himself into a sitting position, holding his bandaged stomach.

Now that he was sitting up it got a better look at his "friends".

Miroku with his eyes closed, chin in his chest, was leaning against the tree, staff in his lap. And Inuyasha couldn't help but notice the two handprints on each cheek, both looking mysteriously like fist.

Sango was lying down on the other side of the clearing subconsciously stroking the sleeping Kirara.

Shippo was snuggled deep into to Kagome's sleeping bag, hugging the life out of her pillow thing'.

And Kagome. Kagome? Where was Kagome?

Inuyasha looked all around but he couldn't se her anywhere. Finally, he caught her scent.

She was in the tree above him. Looking up, sure enough, he saw her sitting on a low branch just above his head. Her head was resting against the tree trunk staring into the sky. She was wearing her headphones CD player. Inuyasha could hear the music blasting out of it. He couldn't tell if she was sleep or not, the bandages covered her eyes.

Looking up at her, Inuyasha couldn't help but let a small smile spread across his face.

"She's been watching over you since Sango cleaned you up." A voice said startling Inuyasha, his smile immediately vanishing.

"How long have I been out?" Inuyasha asked as he stared at his now, not so sleep 'friends'.

"Just a couple of hours." Sango said still stroking Kirara.

"You weren't hurt too badly for demon standards. It shall heal after a day of so. If you don't irritate it too much." Miroku stated mildly to Inuyasha.

But Inuyasha wasn't listening. The wind had just blown a scent towards him, that he didn't like one bit.

He felt a growl form in his throat automatically. He hated that scent. Oh how he hated that scent. And he absolutely loathed the demon that that scent belonged to. And vice versa with that demon and Inuyasha.

"Sesshomaru" Inuyasha growled as he grabbed tetsuaiga that laid next to him on top of his fire rat coat.

Using the sword as a cane, he hobbled out of the field. Followed by his protesting companions. All leaving a dead to the world Shippo and Kagome.

They soon arrived to a grassy opened field. And standing in the middle of it, in all his beautiful gorgeous glory, stood Sesshomaru.

"So nice of you to join, this Sesshomaru, Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said his voice as blank as his face. (I haven't seen much of the show with Sesshomaru in it, to know how he acts, so if he seems ooc it isn't anything I can help. But I'll try my best.)

"What the hell do you want Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha growled at his brother.

"Why do you ask when you already know the answer?"

"If you've come for the sword you ain't getting it." Inuyasha yelled as he stood up straight despite the pain in his abdomen. Unsheathing tetsuaiga he held the transformed sword out in front of him about to fall over from the strain.

Sesshomaru watched him boredly as if waiting for him to collapse, which he did.

Eyes slightly narrowed Sesshomaru spoke: "you're not even fit to fight. Just hand over the sword now Inuyasha and I'll make your death short and painful. "

Sango and Miroku got into fight stances in front of Inuyasha as Sesshomaru made his way towards them.

Inuyasha sat on the ground eyes narrowed to slits, growling, no, snarling at Sesshomaru as he clutched his abdomen in pain.

'It's now or never Kagome.' Kagome said to herself as Sesshomaru made his way over to the already fallen Inuyasha.

Picking up a stone, she threw it with all her might at Sesshoumaru's head. And as she watched that stone get closer and closer to it's destination, that feeling of hostility and bravery started to return. She wanted to fight she realized. She was almost manic with excitement.

She wasn't a bit discouraged when Sesshomaru caught the stone in his hand. He looked at the rock in his hand then at Kagome, his expression may have been expressionless, but he was surprised, a little.

'Inuyasha's wench,' he remembered. 'She's a hanyou like the half-breed. No doubt, she did it to be with him. Humans are so idiotic.' Hm. What happened to her eyes' he wondered?

He watched as Inuyasha's wench slowly made her way into the clearing. She stopped a few feet in front of Sesshomaru. And she wore a smirk that made him want to bite it off.

She stood on her hip with one clawed-hand on the other. That smirk showing off her fangs, with her head cocked to the side, ears twitching only slightly.

He couldn't help but notice how adorable she looked.

"Yo, Sesshomaru if you want to fight someone for the sword, why don't you fight me?"

"NO! KAGOME WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Inuyasha yelled from behind her.

"KAGOME YOU MAY BE HANYOU BUT YOU CANNOT FIGHT HIM!" Miroku yelled.

"I AGREE KAGOME GET OUT OF HERE! WE CAN HANDLE THIS!" Sango also yelled

Thanks for all the support guys.' Kagome thought. One of her eyebrows twitching.

"You should listen to your friends, girl. They speak the truth." Sesshomaru said in his vacant voice.

"Huh. I didn't hear anything." Kagome lied, ears twitching from her still yelling friends. "Nope don't hear a word they're saying." She said still smirking.

Sesshomaru could have laughed right then and there, if he wasn't the cold-hearted emotionless demon he was.

"Very well wench. If a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get." With that, said Sesshomaru clasped his fist over the stone, which he still held. There was a crunching, grinding, breaking sound, then he opened his hand and dust blew out.

Now Kagome's whole eye was twitching. 'What the hell have I done?' she thought as Sesshomaru charged at her.

'Oh god, why did I do it. I'm gonna die.'

Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha all charged into the clearing but were stopped by a black shield that had somehow appeared.

'Why is he taking so long to get here? Not that I want him to hurry up or anything, but come on how long has he been charging towards me.'

Just as Sesshoumaru's was a few feet away from her, claw raised into a striking position, a song popped into Kagome's head.

She wasn't sure why but it was comforting, even if the song was "Bombs Over Baghdad".

Next thing Kagome knew was that she had begun to move to the music. She wasn't aware of anything. Not the charging demon with the deadly claws coming towards her, not her friends beating on the mysteriously put black shield dome, and not the fact that her eyes were glowing amethyst through the bandages. It was just her and the music. She was in a far off place with nothing but fast music.

She was only vaguely aware that she was moving. And not just moving, but blocking, jumping, flipping, running, and laughing. It was like a far off dream, and she never wanted to wake up.

Sesshomaru smirked, as he smelt the fear radiating off her petite figure.

'That bitch didn't know what she was getting herself into.' he thought as he bought his claw up to deliver the striking blow.'

Just before his arm could come down, her scent changed. First confusion, then to glee.

He didn't have time to ponder on this; he had already hesitated. Now it was time to kill.

Swinging his claw down, he was astonished when it hit air.

'Where'd she go?' he asked himself. It was ½ a second later when he finally noticed the slight pressure on his arm.

Looking up he saw that it was Kagome.

Apparently, when his claw had come down, she had jumped in the air and landed on his arm. She was standing on her hands, on his arm, legs in a split formation in the air.

Her small petite body had allowed her too move faster, and go unnoticed on his arms.

She pulled her legs out of the split, they were now pointing straight into the air. She then pulled both her legs down onto his arm, she was now in the position to crab walk, pulling her top half up, she place her arms on his shoulders then, while keeping a firm grip on him, she flipped her self off him, they were now back to back. Her hand still on his shoulders she flipped him over her head into the air.

(I hope ya'll could follow that because I barely could myself. And if you're wondering why he let her do all this, the answer is this: everything is happening very fast and I am just slowing it down. And if it seems she can fight better than anyone its all-pure luck. You see the way to judge your opponents next move, you have to see their eyes, and he can't see hers. So there you go, enjoy the rest of the show.)

The toss had caught Sesshomaru off guard. For a little ½ hanyou, she sure was strong. While in the air, Sesshomaru quickly readjusted himself so that he landed on his feet gracefully.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he charged at her again. This time going at her now stop.

He'd punch she'd dodge, He swung she ducked, She kicked, he blocked. That's how it looked to the others outside the dome, which the fighters haven't noticed.

But in reality Kagome wasn't ducking, dodging, and kicking. She was dancing to the unheard music. She was doing a number of bends, twists, jumping, flipping, spins, and laughing.

Laughing. Oh how he hated the laughing. Her laughing. Laughing at him. Mocking him. Her. A lowly human, no not human, or demon, not even a hanyou. She was ¼ youkai. Even below a worthless hanyou. And here she was, besting the great Lord Sesshomaru.

This enraged him, and made him even more determined to defeat her.

With this newfound determination, he got a hit in on her. Right in the face, successfully silencing her and the infuriating laughter.

That blow to the face sent her flying back. When she finally landed on the ground, she tumbled a while before she ended up a heap on the ground.

Sesshomaru had to smirk at the sight. To think, he, Sesshomaru, thought of her as a tiny threat. The wench, who, with one blow to the face, ended up a defeated heap on the ground.

"NO! KAGOME!"

"SESSHOMARU, YOU BASTARD, STAY AWAY FROM HER."

"YOU BEAST...SHE'S JUST A GIRL."

He heard the ranting of Inuyasha's companions but he didn't heed them as he slowly made his way towards the girl.

He was only a few feet away from her, when she started to move.

He gasped and took an involuntary step back. As soon as he did this, he felt ashamed of himself. What was he stepping back from, a human girl? She can't even steady herself.' he thought to himself as he watched her shake from the effort of getting.

She was shaking. Shaking. Shaking from laughter. She stood up drunkenly on her legs, her head facing the ground. She continued to laugh, louder, and louder until it was all you could hear. That laughter, that laughter it was driving him crazy. That insanely...dirty laughter.

"Is that all you've got to offer fluffy?"

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes to barely recognizable slits.

Her head suddenly snapped up revealing her eyes glowing violet through the bandages. "Is that all you've got to offer?" she repeated now standing up straight, flexing her claws, which seemed to have gotten longer. Now that he noticed. That miko robe she wore seemed to have gotten tighter too. Showing her curves more. He couldn't help but notice them. (I think he could've. But that's just me.)

Without warning Kagome came at him, in the same manner as he had charged her with. Only she still heard music, and came running towards him in a dancing manner.

He was watching her every move, he wasn't going to be caught off guard this time.

But he was.

As she neared him, Kagome seemed to disappear altogether.

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened momentarily before he jumped out of the way, as Kagome fell from the sky, her fist hitting the ground, and leaving a medium sized hole, where he had been standing.

With a high-pitched yell/laugh, Kagome launched at the taiyoukai, where they immediately got into a battle of punches, kicks, and blocks.

Sesshomaru got the most hits out, but she didn't seem to notice, in-fact she seemed to laugh harder, as if it tickled or something.

"It's time to end this now, wench." Sesshomaru said in an unruffled voice, as he positioned his poisonous claws for an attack.

"We'll see about that." Kagome growled, all laughter gone.

Sesshoumaru's hand came down towards Kagome face. If not for her quick movement she would have surely died. When Sesshoumaru's hand had come down, she sidestepped to the side, only her bandage had been affected.

The poison ate away at her bandages as quick as...something quick.

Sesshomaru watched as the cloth fell away from her glowing eyes. She raised her head up, and glared devilishly into his eyes. He saw that her eyes were...and then he knew no more.

Kagome watched as Sesshoumaru's body flashed violet, and then go rigid. His eyes stared blankly at her, unmoving, only hearing, and seeing. He just stood unmoving, hands down by his side.

Kagome smirked. Running as fast as she could, she jumped up and landed a kick straight into his chest. Sending his stiff body to the ground.

Kagome's eyes stopped glowing as she strode over to him.

She stood, smiling over him. She had placed one of her legs on either side of him. Squatting down she looked him in the eye.

"I believe you owe me something," she said as she untied his yellow and purple sash. Waving it in his face, she stood up. Putting the necessary spell on the sash, she started to walk away, but a clawed hand shot and grabbed her ankle. Looking back, she smiled.

"This isn't over bitch." Sesshomaru grunted out, trying to fight off the enchantment.

Wrenching her foot out of his grasp, Kagome bent down to whisper in his ear. "The name is Kagome. K-A-G-O-M-E. Kagome. Hear it, learn it, eat it. Oh and before I forget. You're gonna be very sleepy. You already are. In fact, you're going to go to sleep right...now." And with that said, Sesshoumaru's unmoving eyes, fluttered shut.

Giggling to herself Kagome strode over to her friends, but not before tying Sesshoumaru's sash around her eyes.

Her traveling companions gaped open mouthed at her. She ignored it, for a sudden sleepiness had overcome her.

All music gone. She blinked sleepily at them.

"Ka-Kagome? Do you realize? Do you realize what you just did?" Miroku asked as they all closed their mouth.

"No. what?" Kagome said truthfully.

"WHAT! DON'T YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE?"

"Nope. Not at all." she said slowly shaking her head.

"So what you're telling us is that you don't know what just happened." Sango asked in an astonished voice.

"Uh-uh. Not a clue. Maybe you should tell me when I wake up. Nigh night." Then Kagome collapsed on the ground snoring.

"You know, lady Kagome is beginning to frighten me." Miroku said more to himself, as he tossed Kagome onto his shoulders, since Inuyasha was too hurt to do it himself.

"I know what you mean; she's starting to become an unsuspecting handful." Sango added in, staring at Kagome.

"Maybe we should just tie her up for the rest of the trip." Inuyasha piped in, glancing at his unconscious brother in the field.
