Last Time:

"Since when did Sesshomaru's ward call you kaasan? Wait, you didn't mate with that bastard did you!" InuYasha yelled as he started sniffing Kagome trying to catch something on her scent. "Baka! No I haven't mated with Sesshomaru-sama." Kagome said as she walked over to Sango and whispered to her. but load enough for the hanyou to hear. "Even though Sesshomaru-sama isn't hard on the eyes. Anf if I did mate with him, at least I would know that Shippo, Rin, myself and any other children, or pups, that we had would be taken care of. He really isn't as cold as he lets on to be,he is really quite caring. He would be a great otousan." At that statement InuYasha flew off the handle and started yelling about how he was going to slowly kill his bastard of a half brother. "Lady Kagome you have yet to tell us why Rin-chan called you kaasan. Since you have not mated with Sesshomaru-sama." Miroku said after a few minutes of laughter at InuYasha's expense.

This Time:

"Oh thats right, I haven't have I? Well you see while we were in the house Rin asked me why Shoppo was a full blooded youkai and I am a full blooded human, yet I am Shippo's kaasan. Well I told her that I adopted him. Sorta like Sesshomaru-sama did with her. So she asked if she could all me kaasan since she didn't have one." Kagome said as she hoisted her paick onto her back. Miroku looked at kagome for a moment. "Lady Kagome how did Rin-chan know that Shippo was a youkai? The only ones who can really tell the full blooded from the half breeds, when they are in humanoid form, are preists and preistesses. I could understand if he had not been under the illusion of a normal human boy, but he was, and has been since we first met her." Kagome just shrugged. "She sensed his aura, just as i did. Had Inu-baka not had the puppy ears she would have knew he was a half demon before we told her. And before anyone says anything, she can sense aura because she is a Miko. She could be a very powerful Miko if she is trained properly."

Kagome couldn't help but laugh as she watched everyone's mouths hit the gound. "Oh come on guys. Don't tell me that you didn't sense her aura? Miroku you should have been able to sense it better then anyone else. Why haven't you?" At that Miroku flushed "Uhh...well you see...its like..."He was interrupted by Sango. "Kagome you know he has been so distracted by every single young woman that crosses his path to sense anything that don't come from a beautiful young woman." Kagome couldn't help but laught as Miroku's face turned beat red and he looked to the ground with his hand to the back of his head. kagome looked over at Sango and gave an evil smile. "Well Sango... we all know Miroku's reason now, so tell us whats yours? Tell us why you haven't sensed her Miko powers like you did with me." Sango flusheted and suttered for a moment. "Umm...I...it's like this..."Kagome shook her head and gave Sango a know it all smile. "See Sango...you have been so distracted with trying to keep Miroku away from other women so that you can keep him all to yourself, so you didn't even notice either." Sango blushed and started fiddling with a tie on he demon slayer outfit.

Kagome looked from the blusheing Sango to Miroku, who was starring at Sango in shock, to InuYasha who was rolling on the ground laughing. "What about you InuYasha? Oh nevermind I know what your reason is." Kagome said as she just looked at InuYasha with an expression that looked like the one that Sesshomaru always wears. "And what is my reason wench!" InuYasha gound out , his anger quickly rising. Kagome couldn't help but smirk. "Why your mate Kikyo of course. I mean a mate that is a clay pot does have to have alot of attention." InuYasha stared at Kagome in shock for a moment. His anger was quickly rising to the point that he didn't care what he did. "How the hell did you know that me ane Kikyo had mated wench!" He demandedas he pinned Kagome to a nearby tree, holding her firmly in place by her neck. "Your actions prove it, so i don't have to explain how i know anything to you. I didn't know that you would go so far as to sink so low as to mate a clay pot who just wants to drag you to hell with her to avenge her living life when it wasn't even you that killed her! You are nothing to me." Kagome said as a fire seemed to ignite in Kagome's bright blue eyes as she stared into InuYashas ember eyes. At Kagome's reply InuYasha tightened his hand around her neck almost to the point of suffocating her. "You will tell me what I want to know wench!" InuYasha growled out as his eyes began to bleed red even as tetsuiga rested against his side.

Kagome put her hands around his as she glared at him then slowly began to push his hand back away from her neck. "You do not own me InuYasha. I am my own person." She tightened her hand around his wrist as her purifing powers encased her hands and she used it to blast InuYasha back into a tree. "You bitch! Your just a damn ningen. Your not even worthy of living!" InuYasha yelled as he slowly picked himself up off the ground. Kagome laughed a bit. "No InuYasha it is you that isn't worthy of living. For the past 6 years i have been coming here and i took all of the slurs that you threw towards me. I forgave you over and over, never once asking anything of you. You took and took from me, and not once did i take anything from you. At least I know what I am. I'm not a little of that and alittle of this...I am full blooded human..." Miroku and Sango stared at what was going on, shock evident on both their faces. Never before had they saw Kagome this angry or act like this towards InuYasha. Both of them were froze to the spot where they stood from the current events. InuYasha let out a menacing growl as he charged once again at Kagome, only to be thrown back by a powerful barrier. "Don't underestimate me InuYasha. I am stronger then you know." Kagome warned him as he started to charge her barrier again. "You can't lie to me bitch. Your just a weak copy of what Kikyo was. You are weak, weak do you hear me!" Kagome sighed and looked over at Sango and Miroku and then her gaze went to the west. "No InuYasha, you are wrong. I am not a copy of Kikyo. Nor am i weak. While you were off with that clay whore, I was off training with Sesshomaru-sama or the other Lords. Thanks to them I am strong enough to acomplish my dream..With the Shikon no Tama joined with my body again, I don't have to worry about a demon trying to get it. I am what I am soposed to be." Kagome explained as her gaze never left the west. All the while InuYasha circled her barrier trying to find a weak spot.

"Keh. You are lying to yourself and to everyone else. You are just a copy, and once I kill you Kikyo will be human once more. With all of the powers that rightfully belong to her." InuYasha growled out while he tried to attack her barrier again. Once again Kagome sighed and shoook her head, "InuYasha you disappoint me. Alexis, Cerin please bring my things. I have a feeling that i will need them." Kagome said as her eyes drifted from the west over to the woods just lightly to her left. Sango and Miroku looked at each other then to the woods where Kagome's gaze fell. "Kagome no one is there..." Sango started to say, but stopped when she saw a larger then normal wolf with midnight black fur and ice blue tipped ears and turquoise eyes walk out of the dense underbrush and over towards Kagome. On the wolfs back was a large bow, that was all black except for the hand grip and the tips and they were silver, and a quiver of black arrows with pure silver tips that seemed to glow blue from the purifying engery that were put into them. Around the wolfs neck hung a belt that held many various small throwing daggers and other concealable weapons such as a steel fan, throwing stars, and fighting chopsticks. A fox, almost the size of a normal wolf with snow white fur and red tipped ears and fire red eyes, slowly followed the wolf from the underbrush and strapped on its back was a set of double katanas in black sheaths with a silver and red hand protectors and silver insignias strapped to its back.

"Alexis my katanas please." Kagome turned her eyes to the fox as she smiled. "Kagome that is a kitsne just like Shippo! You'll purify her if she brings your katanas to you!" Sango called out as she ran and tried to catch the fox before she got to Kagome's barrier. Alexis easily avoided Sango as she made a leap towards Kagome. Sango and Miroku let out a gasp as they saw Alexis hit the barrier, but to their surprise she passed right through. Kagome smiled as the fox landed at her feet. Kagome let her hand rub the top of the kits head as her hands were surrounded with her miko powers.

To no avail Kagome tried to control the sudden giggles that fought to break free as she saw the look on everyones faces. "Did you honestly think that i would purify my own wards? Cerin would you be a dear and bring my other things please." Cerin nodded as he started walking towards the barrier.

Not willing to let this opportunity slip through his claws, charged at Cerin. "If I can't hurt you physically then i will hurt you emotionally!" Before he could strike Cerin, Kagome unsheathed her katanas and moved with a demons speed to deflect InuYasha's attack with her own. Cerin quickly moved to where Alexis stood. "That was really stupid Inu-baka!" Kagome growled out as she shifted her feet til she was in a fighting stnace that resembled the stance that Sesshomaru always used.

"Why don't you calm down InuYasha and go play with your clay pot, oh but don't forget to wet her down. She might get brittle and crack." Kagome taunted as Miroku walked over to InuYasha and started softly talking to him.

InuYasha's POV

'Why that little whore. Who does she think she is. Soon mine and Kikyo's plan will be in affect then I can kill he rnake my love whole again. Then I will no longer be holding a dead corpse that smells of death and dirt." I thought as I saw Miroku walking towards me. 'Oh what does he want...probably going to try to calm me down. Keh!"

"Inuyasha, you must calm yourself. It isn't worth you and Lady Kagome fighting. If we are going to be traveling together, why not at least try to get along with Lady Kagome." Miroku sais as he put his hand on my sholder. 'Get along with that weak bitch. Hello no. But for now I have to follow Kikyo's plan. Soon Kagome will be completely alone. I will kill everyone that is close to her, and ill start with those damn brats! Then i will slowly kill her...' I thought as a smile came to my lips. "Your right Miroku, we should try to get along." I said as Miroku's serious face turned to one of surprise then joy.

Normal POV

Miroku looked from InuYasha to Kagome with a smile on his face. He patted InuYashas sholder friendly. "Thats how to do it InuYasha." InuYashas smile just widened alittle bit as he looked over at Kagome and then to her house where Shippo and Rin were.

Kagome's POV

'Why is he smiling like that? He only smiles like that when he is in a battle and he is winning. What could he be planning?' I though as Miroku talked animatedly to Sango. I quickly slipped my katana's back into their sheaths and strapped them onto my back so that they form a 'X'. I grabbed up my special belt Sesshomaru-sama had made for me. So that i would have a wide variety of small weapons to use for close combat and hand to hand. In case my katanas are not in my hands, a few other daggers and another steel fan. I quickly tuck a few of my concealable weapons in the folds on my hakuma and haori.

'I have to be ready for anything that he tries..."

Normal POV

"Alexis, Cerin change into your humanoid forms please." Kagome said as she gathered her hair and quickly braided it. Alexis' form quickly shifted from the fox to the form a teenager that come to about Kagome's sholder and just a bit shorter then Shippo. Cerin shifted forms a few moments after Alexis and then stood behind Alexis and was a good head taller then Kagome.

"Kagome-sama will we be leaving soon?" "Is that hanyou coming with us?" "He stinks of death and clay." "What about the monk and taijiya?" "Is Sesshomaru-sama coming with us?" "Kagome-sama I miss Sesshomaru-sama!" Both Alexis and Cerin bombarded Kagome with questions and comments until Kagome had to put her hand over both of her wards mouths to silence them. "Shhh you to, you gota give me time to answer. So only one question or comment at a time. We will be leaving this afternoon so that we can make our rounds andtakes care of any demons thats is making trouble. As for the hanyou, InuYasha, he can if he wants to. We will not discuss what he smells of right now. I really do hope that Sango and Miroku come, otherwise i would be really lonely. Oh gosh, stupid me you don't know them yet. Introductions in a minute. And as for Sesshomaru-sama, he is away on business in the Eastern Lands. You will see him soon Alexis. I miss him to." Alexis smiled and tried not to laugh as Kagome realized that no one knew who they were. "Sango, Miroku, InuYasha this is ALexis and Cerin, my two young but powerful wards. Cerin, Alexis these are my traveling comapanion, InuYasha. Andmy dear friends that are more like family, Sango and Miroku."

Cerin grabbed Alexis and pulled her back into some bushes so that they were out of sight. As soon as they were in the busesh two bodies attached themselves to Kagome as she got off balance and fell to the ground. "Kaasan! Kaasan!" Shippo and Rin said in between giggles and pants. "Whats wrong!" Kagome said as she managed to sit up. Both teenagers sat up and smiled. "Nothing kaasan. We just came to tell you that we're done, and that we are gonna get Kohaku so we can go play and stuff." Shippo said as Rin just bobbed her head in agreement.

Shippo's smile faded from his face as he sniffed the air. His tail bristled as he looked to the bushes. "Come out demons, I know your there!" Shippo said as he moved towards the bushes that Alexis and Cerin were hid in.

Shippo's eyes widened as a blush came accross his cheeks when a kitsune about his age with longb lack hair tied back into a braid and fire red eyes, stepped out of the bushes cautiously. "Cerin he knows you there. Quit being stubborn and come out." Alexis said as she turned to the bushes and then back to Shippo with a slight blush on her cheeks.

Shippo's POV

'I didn't know that one of the demons I sensed was a girl. A cute girl at that...What am I thinking! She could be out to hurt my kaasan. Sides I'm to young to be thinking about stuff like that.' I thought as I watched the kitsune closely as she talked with someone named Cerin, who was still in the bushes. 'I know he is a ookami. I can smell his scent all over the kitsune. His scent shouldn't be there!"

'Oh and who's scent should be there? And what do you mean to young! Your Inu-bakas age!"

'mine...Wait a minute! Who the heck are you? Yea your right. I am about InuYashas age, but I'm in the body of a teenager.'

'I'm your concious.'

'Hey I remember you! You were the one that convinced me that my kaasan was good and for me to give her the part of the Shinkon no Tama that I stole from her. But why have you started talking to me again?'

'Well two reasons.'

'And those two reasons are?'

'Well one reason is that you are attracted to this girl, and the other one is that you are old enough to take a mate. And your youki has chosen this girl as the one it wants.'

'But she is probably a fourth of my age! I can't mate with her! Yes I am old enough to take a mate, but surely it is not her.'

'Shippo no baka! You aren't a baby and neither is she! Look to her aura. Seems that your not the only one who is keeping something from everyone.'

'What... what do you mean?'

'Well gotta go. Buh bye!'

'Hey wait a minute!'

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the melodic sound of the kitsunes laughter. She was laughing at the ookami that was still behind the bushes.

Normal POV

"Cerin you better come on out before he comes in and kicks your ookami butt. Cause if I can kick your butt then he defently can. He does travel with Kagome-sama. So he has got to be strong. Are you scared of him Cerin? its because he is a kitsune aint it!" Alexis teased the poor ookami, Cerin, that was still hid in the bushes.

"Alexis you know I ain't scared. And I'm not afraid of any kitsne. Sides no kitsune can beat me. Not you or even the great Youko himself! In fact the only reason that Youko is a theif is because he is to scared to fight anyone." Cerin said as Alexis' eyes narrowed and moisture began to gather at the edge of her fire red eyes. "His best skill is running away. He even ran away from you and your kaasan! He is a coward." Cerin sneered as he walked out from behind the bushes. "Cerin take it back! Take it back! My uncle Youko didn't run away from me and kaasan! Your wrong. My uncle Youko is the strongest in the world! I hate you, I have you Cerin!" Alexis screamed affectively getting the attention of Kagome and the others as they had been talking to another. Before anyone knew what was happened Alexis launched herself at Cerin.

"Alexis get off Cerin this instance!" Kagome yelled as she ran over to where the teenagers were fighting. Before she could get to the fight, Shippo had already grabbed Alexis around the waist and was trying to pull her off Cerin. "Take it back!" "NO! He is a coward and thats the truth! He showed how much of a coward he was when he ran away from your kaasan!" Cerin yelled as Shippo finally pulled Alexis off him. "Calm yourself. You won't avenge your uncle's name if you run blindly into battle. You have to think things through. Plan out a strategy. You have to outwit your opponent. You should know that by now." Shippo whispered softly so only the kitsune he held in his arms could hear him.

At hearing Shippo's voice so close to her ear, Alexis blushed and then looked towards the ground and nodded as she whispered back, "Your right, I shouldn't hae jumped in without thinking it over first." Shippo nodded and loosened his hold on her waist. "Your name is Alexis, right?" She looked at him alittle bit over her sholder. "Yes I am Alexis. But who are you?" This time it was Shippo's turn to blush. "I'm Shippo." She smiled then looked over to where Kagome was scolding Cerin for what he had said.
