Kagome sat in the tent alone, listening as Harry faced his dragon, 'what could they possibly find in the Forbidden Forest that would be as fierce as a dragon… Unless they went to find Sesshoumaru, but he wouldn't do this. He's got too much pride for this feeble task.'

After nearly half an hour Kagome heard Dumbledore speaking once more, "Harry has finished his task and we will now move to our last and final champion, but for our final Champion we were unable to gather enough dragons. We have brought a beast from our own forest for her to face. I give you, Miss Weasley!"

Kagome stood and exited the tent, making her way to where she would face her beast. Gasping softly, Kagome saw Sesshoumaru in all his glory in his true form, which was just as large as any of the dragons the ones watching had already seen. Kagome took a step forward, only to stop as Sesshoumaru rounded on her, a large chain around his neck holding him near the egg.

Sesshoumaru growled low in his throat, though only Kagome, Shippo, and the demons that snuck out of the woods to watch could understand what he was saying. ^If I had known I was going to have been chained down I would never have agreed to this.^

Kagome pouted lightly as she mouthed, 'I'm sorry.'

Sesshoumaru howled viciously, 'no matter, I will still do as needed.'

Kagome's eyes widened as she jumped backward to avoid Sesshoumaru's large paw. Quickly moving, Kagome managed to dodge as Sesshoumaru jumped at her, his front paws landing right where she had just been standing. Kagome hid below a large rock as she sniffed the air, catching the sent of acid. Moving quickly once more, Kagome got out of the way as the rock she had been near began melting.

Kagome heard the muffled gasps around her as the people in the stands saw what Sesshoumaru could do. Kagome easily climbed on top of a large rock, 'alright, think… think… he's stuck on a chair, but could easily not be if he decided on it… he's a large dog… and can't get into small areas!' "Of course!"

Looking around quickly, Kagome began jumping from one rock to the next as Sesshoumaru bounded after her, acid dripping from his large fanged mouth. Seeing the opening she was hoping for, Kagame easily slipped out of sight as she jumped. Sesshoumaru had bit the air where Kagome had just been seconds before, only to get a small rock tossed at his nose.

Sesshoumaru brought his head back as he shook it from surprise, huffing with a slight growl, ^did you just throw a rock at me?^

Kagome began chuckling, "yeah, I had to do something to catch your attention!" Kagome then used her speed to move below the rocks toward the other side of the rocky arena as Sesshoumaru began growling viciously as he dug at the rock where Kagome had ducked under.

Poking her head above a large rock, Kagome saw Sesshoumaru digging furiously at the rocks. Smirking, Kagome covered her scent before jumping on top the rock, being careful of the pebbles at her feet as she took off running for the golden egg.

Once close enough, Kagome jumped for the egg, hoping to reach it in time. As she jumped, Kagome yelled in surprise and pain as something sharp cut into her leg, pulling her back away from the egg. Kagome looked back to see Sesshoumaru's massive mouth clamped onto her left leg, sneering at her for her earlier trick, ^if I weren't a demon and knew you, little sister, then I would have fallen for that little trick of yours.^

Kagome winced in pain as Sesshoumaru stood, flinging his head upward as he released Kagome, causing her to fly into the air. Kagome flew several feet into the air as she began flipping uncontrollably. At the peak of her height, Kagome sprawled out so she wouldn't continue to spin as she began to fall. Glancing around, Kagome shifted as she growled softly, seeing blood flying off her leg as it bled profusely.

"Let's dance!" Kagome yelled as she shifted so that she shot down toward Sesshoumaru's body.

Sesshoumaru looked up as Kagome rocketed toward him, 'what is she planning? She can't transform in front of all these humans…'

As she got close enough, Kagome shifted so that she would land on the back of Sesshoumaru's neck as he looked up at her, surprising even him. Kagome quickly grabbed his fur, stopping her from falling to the rocks below. Kagome quickly climbed higher, grabbing hold of the top of Sesshoumaru's head, "I'm not letting go!"

Sesshoumaru growled as he shook his head vigorously, ^it might be wise to do the opposite.^

Kagome yelled as her leg hit Sesshoumaru's head, causing it to reopen as a bit of fur got stuck to it.

After several minutes of Sesshoumaru bucking around, shaking his head furiously, and throwing acid into the air to get it to land on his back, Kagome realized the chain was getting pulled tighter and tighter.

Kagome glanced down as she saw how far they were from the egg, "This is nothing like our first meeting…" Seshoumaru chuckled softly through a growl as he dropped to his side, planning on rolling onto his back.

Kagome watched wide eyed as the ground got closer, quickly releasing the fur as she ducked between a couple large rocks. Kagome watched as Sesshoumaru stood, the chain wrapped around his waist, 'oh no… I need to end this before he gets that chain tangled more around him…' Looking around quickly, Kagome spotted the golden egg a few feet away.

As Sesshoumaru stood, Kagome climbed on top of the rocks and ran for the egg as quick as a normal human could, dodging Sesshoumaru's large paw as he swiped at her. Kagome dove for the egg, grabbing it as Sesshoumaru's massive head stopped mere inches above her, a small drop of acid landing on her wound.

Kagome screamed as the acid quickly sank into her wound and spread through her leg. Though it wasn't lethal to her any more once she had been adopted by Sesshoumaru, it still hurt her like crazy.

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened as he lay down near Kagome, wanting to clear her wound, but knew it wouldn't help since his tongue was too large.

The crowd watched as Dumbledore ran onto the arena, toward Kagome and Sesshoumaru, followed by others they had never seen before. Kagome lay on the ground with the egg in her grasp, "don't worry Aniki, I'll be fine once the acid fully absorbs into my system."

Sesshoumaru laid his head down near Kagome, growling softly, 'Imouto…'

Kagome looked up at Dumbledore as several demons knelt beside her, "I got the egg…"

Dumbledore chuckled softly as Miroku used his Monk abilities to begin healing Kagome's wound, though it wouldn't close. Kagome clawed at the rock to her right, "stop, please…"

Miroku nearly fell backward at Kagome's strained voice, "Kagome, what's the matter?"

Kagome gritted her fanged teeth as her illusion slowly faltered, "I don't know… I felt like…" Kagome opened her eyes as she stared at the sky, "I felt like I was being purified or something… not as bad as a full purification…"

Miroku sighed softly as Sango placed a hand on his shoulder, "it would seem after the wish, you lost nearly all of your Miko abilities, even your immunity to Purification."

Sesshoumaru growled lowly, "she's still immune, but it's going to hurt unless you are trained specifically to heal without harming a demon."

The group looked curiously at Sesshoumaru, though it was Kagome that spoke, "he means that if you were trained to harm more than to heal then that is what will happen to a demon you try to heal… you'll partially try to purify them as you heal them."

Miroku sighed softly, "I'm sorry Imouto… I didn't know…"

Kagome nodded softly, "I know… looks like I'll have to let it heal on it's own this time." The group slowly nodded as Miroku stood, picking Kagome up with him.

"I'm going to take her to the Hospital wing, if I have permission?" Miroku looked curiously at Dumbledore, who nodded. Miroku bowed lightly before disappearing with speed, followed by Rin and Sango.
