Kagome smiled as she walked behind her brother and Miroku. The two talked about their training till they came to a large wooded area. "Kagome we could turn around." Miroku said as he looked into the woods there was a cold chill coming from inside. Kagome looked ahead. "This is the way we need to go." Kagome started to walk with the two right behind her. The woods seemed to become darker the further the group walked. Kagome let Miroku take the lead once again as she started to feel the world around her. Miroku walked till he felt something coming at him he took hold of Sango and ducked behind a tree right as a group of arrows came flying at them. "That was close thanks you ." Sango said to Miroku as she still held his hand. Kagome stood as the arrows came at her. She started to glow and the arrows stopped short. "Miroku, Sango are you guys ok?" Kagome's heart was beating fast as she could feel demons not far ahead of them. Miroku walked out with Sango and nodded. "Good lets go then." Kagome said as she started to run.

Inuyasha turned and used his claw to take another demon out as he felt more coming from behind. "What a group of evil bastards." Inuyasha yelled as he reached for his sword. The demons laughed as they started to circle. "The master would love to see your soul." A small voice said from within the group of demons. Inuyasha tightened but still tried to fight them as hard as he could. "Why wont you all just die?" "Cause they are under a spell!"Screamed a female voice from behind the demons. Then a bright light appeared and half the demons were gone. Inuyasha watched as a young dark haired girl ran out followed by a taller monk and a dark haired warrior. Inuyasha was so involved that a demon was about to reach out and strike. "Look out!" The girl yelled as she pulled back on her bow. Inuyasha felt the arrow pass by his cheek and the demon turn to dust. Finally with the help of the three all the demons were either destroyed or ran back to their master. "So who are you guys?" Inuyasha asked as they sat down to eat. "My name is Miroku, this is my sister Kagome and this lovely is Sango." Sango used her large bone weapon to knock Miroku over. "That hurt what did I say." Miroku said . Kagome laughed then looked over at Inuyasha. "So your the younger son of the western lord?" Inuyasha was in shock he hadn't told her that. "Yes, I came out her to help find that shadow demon who is killing so many warriors and taking their mikos and monks." Inuyasha looked down at his sword his father made it just for him but still he had no idea how it really worked. "I see, my brother and I came out to help fight too." Kagome smiled as she looked up at the half demon. "For now lets stay together as a group I think it will be best." Inuyasha heard Miroku say as he pulled himself up. The others agreed and for the next weeks they traveled fighting any demons who came looking for them.

Kagome sat under a large tree watching the darkness. "Come on we should just charge in and..." Inuyasha was cut off by a large weapon hitting the back of his head. "What the hell was that for?" "Come on Inuyasha you know better by now. We charge in we might get killed. We are working as an odd group we are warriors working with a miko and monk but haven't bonded with them. We are only at half strength,so we must take a breathe." Sango said as Inuyasha lay on the ground. "Fine whatever." Came his voice as he looked up at Kagome. She was a rare miko he could feel it and yet she had a sadness inside her.

Kagome looked up at the darkness then back at her friends. "There is a group of demons in there fighting a monk and his warrior. The darkness is near we need to help." Kagome took off Miroku right after her. They ran into a clearing to find a large tiger demon with a black spider on its back attacking a monk and a warrior. "That thing is huge." Sango said as she tossed her weapon. Miroku stood close his staff glowing while, Inuyasha pulled his sword and jumped ready to cut the demon in half. "Inuyasha wait!" Kagome screamed as she felt the demon's inner soul move. To her horror the spider on its back came to life and took hold of Inuyasha's neck. "Foolish boy I am of the darkness and I will not be stopped by a boy like you." Inuyasha felt his anger. "I am not just a boy I am the son of the great dog demon!" Inuyasha pulled his sword out and the hand holding him was gone. "You stupid boy! That was my arm!" The demon now faced Inuyasha and the others . Miroku stood behind Sango as she stood her ground. Kagome pulled her bow as the demon started to charge. "I am Kia and the darkness chose me to find him the right soul." The demon screamed his arm raised and then he was pushed back by Sango's weapon. Kagome put her bow down as she caught sight of the warrior and monk who the demon was first fighting with. Kagome ran and came to a stop as she looked at the two the monk was dead she could feel that his soul was gone. The warrior was breathing heavy. "What happened?" "That spider took hold of him and took his soul said his master wanted to see it. I tried to stop him but that ...that spider took on its own life as if it was my monk and used his staff to stab me." Kagome looked down to see the blood coming from a large wound. She could see the dead monk's spirt keeping the wound open. "Strong warrior I cannot stop the bleeding I am afraid you are not long for this world." Kagome's eyes teared up. "Miko you are young why are you out here?" Kagome looked up into the warrior's eyes. "This is where I am meant to be and I am going to help you pass from this world since your monk is no longer here." Kagome placed her hand on the man's head and a blue light started to cover his body his deep breathing started to slow and as he faded he smiled at the girl. "Thank you sweet Miko." Was the man's last words before his soul left his body. Kagome turned to face the demon who was now battling her family and friends.

"Why fight a demon of the darkness? You cannot win while he is on my side." The demon screamed as he released a smoke. "Sango watch out!" Miroku took his robe and covered him and Sango as the smoke covered around them. "Please do not breathe in the smoke its a poison that will freeze your body." Miroku looked down as Sango reached into her bag and pulled out a mask. "Thank you." Sango then stood again ready to fight. Inuyasha had jumped into the trees looking down at the demon who smiled. "My master wants to see your souls." The demon said as he once again let the spider move on his back. "NO!" Kagome screamed as a blue light filled the open space. The spider on the demons back froze then disappeared. Kia stopped as he felt a part of him burn. "What have you done child." The demon said as he turned to face Kagome. Kagome's eyes were full of tears as she looked at the demon before her. "Your master is a monster who kills for no reason. You took the soul of that monk and when you found it did your master no good you used it to kill his warrior. You do not belong here any more." Kagome took hold of her bow and in a blink of an eye her arrow hit the demon in the heart. Inuyasha jumped form the tree and with his sword split the demon in half. "Thank you Inuyasha." Kagome said as she then passed out. Miroku ran to his sister. "Kagome are you alright?" Miroku yelled as Kagome lay still in his arms.

Kagome again woke in another area as she rolled over she found her brother sitting there. "How long have I been out?" Kagome asked as Miroku placed a cup in her hands. "A few hours now. Kagome what happened with the warrior?" Kagome looked down she could still see his soul leaving this world. "No one could save him his wound was made by his monk. I wanted him to pass in peace so I released his soul." Kagome felt the tears fall again. "Father was right, even with you being so young your powers are great." Kagome looked up at her brother as he smiled at her. Kagome smiled then looked over at Sango. "You know if you and Sango were to bond it would be so nice." Miroku turned red as his sister spoke. "There is no way she would..." "Come on brother she stays closer to you now then when we first started traveling as a group." Kagome smiled then hoped up and started to run over to Sango. Miroku was in shock and couldn't move. "For a youngster she is quite smart." Inuyasha said from above. "Yea. Kagome has always been this way she can see through the bullshit and lives her life open. If only we all could maybe just maybe we all would be as strong as she." Miroku then stood and followed his sister to Sango. Inuyasha was left alone in the tree looking at Kagome. 'Her power would give me enough to become equals with Sesshomaru.' Inuyasha thought then he jumped down to join his new friends eating dinner.
