He just stepped on to the shore of a sandy beach leading into a dense forest and noticed a dark skinny trail going through there. He started walking that way onto the trail. A couple minutes later, he sensed 2 auras as one disappeared and went behind him. It burned with miko energy. He then jumped out of the way of a miko whip. He landed on a branch up above and jumped again to the trail further away from the whip. The figure emerged from the shadows. 'Kagome. Damn, she must be being controlled, how else she moves so fast.' He felt the other aura behind him and identified it as the sea god.
"Having fun with her. Don't injure her; I still have to bed with her." He chuckled.
"You would love that wouldn't you, you sick bastard." He replied coldly.
"She is very powerful and beautiful like a goddess. Makes me wonder if she is unless she is a fallen angel. Either would be fine. Naraku was stupid to think I do not already know that he was going to attempt to absorb me. Then he tries to sacrifice this beautiful maiden, he must have been out of his mind. Oh well, my gain now." He snapped his fingers and Kagome vanished to the right front side of the sea god. "Well I am Kaito, God of the sea." Just then Hiei and Sesshoumaru appeared. "Sesshoumaru-sama of the West, you have decided to join us, how nice for you to visit." He smirked at Sesshoumaru's small glare.
"Give us the miko." He looked at her and instantly noted the water drop on her forehead and the clothing. "Do you think she would let you mark her? Her soul will reject you like it did with Naraku."
Kaito looked at them and then grinned. "Unlike Naraku I have complete control of her. She will do whatever I say with a snap of my fingers. I do not need to even speak it and she will automatically do it."
Youko Kurama growled. "Then we will fight if need be, I do not like seeing her with scum like you." Youko charged and crossed blades with Kagome. He noticed she had the katana hidden behind her. "Kagome, snap out of it. Do you really want to be used like a puppet by some low sea god?"
She did not respond and kept fighting him while Sesshoumaru took on Kaito. Hiei saw an opportunity to catch Kagome off guard. Kagome sensed the other aura behind her and instantly jumped which sent her below waist length hair flying behind her and uncovering the now pointed ears. "Shit, what did you do to her? Her ears are identical to yours." Youko shot Kaito a cold glare.
"She needed more speed and with the blood loss she most likely would have died so I gave her some of my blood. She will definitely make a great mate. Only her soul knows what is going on but can't do anything since the rest of her is unconscious still."
She felt her soul being tugged as if it was trying to follow something. After thinking, this over her realized that Kagome's part of the soul was crying out to her part as it was in need of assistance. She had Shikodomi carry her with her soul guiding her by its tugging. She arrived at an island in the west and went up a trail following the noise and the soul she shares. She became close with Kagome and they started using the soul as a way of contact. When coming upon the scene of short, black and white clad in garb and hair, demon holding Kagome while a 7-tail kitsune demon was trying to take the blue water droplet off her forehead that she noticed had Shikon jewels in it.
Sesshoumaru was fighting another demon that seemed to be at fault for this. "Stop it your hurting her!"
They looked at her and Youko spoke. "Who are you? You look quite a bit like her, why is that? Also she is being controlled by the damn sea god through this marking." He studied her as he responded coldly. Irritated that a miko came out of nowhere and demanded them to stop their attempts of freeing the Shikon miko.
"I am her incarnation Kikyo. Her part of our soul called to me crying that it's in danger. Now stop your attempts of taking the jewels out. Once I get that out, I will take care of the demon blood I sense in her. If anything you're making it harder for her miko powers to fend off foreign demon blood and take control of her mind and body." They held her still and watched as Kikyo walked towards them, brought purifying energy into her pointer and middle of her right hand, and then pushed it onto the water drop marking and then 3 jewels come out. Two Shikon shards and a blue water drop jewel. She dropped the other jewel and held onto the Shikon shards. "Let her rest, who knows how long it will take seeing how she had already gained demonic features. It could stay permanently and be stored in her for eternity. Now explain your business with her and I may not purify you for laying a hand on her." She kept her face cold and talked harshly to them as if they were Naraku himself. Her and her reincarnation felt a bit like sisters now and definitely protective of one another.
"My name is Youko Kurama. We came from Kagome's era to assist her. This form of me is from Makai but I myself am stored in a human male by the name of Shuichi Minamino from Ningenkai. I remain in my youkai human form due to it separating when I went through the well. We had arrived too late due to traveling separately and having to meet up before we search for Kagome-sama. Naraku used her as sacrifice to this sea god, Kaito since she rejected Naraku in body and soul of being mated to him. This god now wants the same thing. This is Jaganshi, Hiei, a fire demon from the ice country of Makai, Koorime the floating kingdom." Kikyo listened closely to the information and nodded.
She noticed Sesshoumaru still fighting the sea god and listened to his words. "I will return for her, but for now I will retreat. This will not be the last of me; she will be my mate next time." With that, he disappeared and Sesshoumaru turned towards them who had heard all of what Youko and Kikyo conversed on.
If the blood does not leave then it may taint her, thus not being able to purify the jewel. "We will take leave and I will escort you back to that half breed half brother of mine. If what you say is true then Kagome and her companions may be in need of your aid. Naraku I'm sure will find out about her soon if not already." Youko gathered up Kagome while Sesshoumaru gathered up his cloud for them to all travel on.
