Chapter 4

Inuyasha is anxious to see what Kagome has learned and developed of her new powers, much to the chagrin of Koga. However, Koga has been wondering if Kagome is bluffing of this true power if it's only to buy time to escape. But, how can she be bluffing if she put up a barrier where no one knew but Kagome herself? Koga does know though that he is unprepared for what is going to happen next…

"Inuyasha…I need you to stay still." Kagome says. "Do not attempt to get in front of me." Kagome then places both hands together in front of her face, and her eyes are shut as she concentrates on her first new power. A few moments later, gusts of wind surrounds Kagome as she stretches out her arms sideways. As she keeps her arms in that position, wind builds up and it then forms into a semi-circle behind Kagome.

"What's going on?" Koga baffled. "How can Kagome create that much strength?

In that moment, Kagome raises her arms straight into the air indicating that she is about ready to release this hurricane-like force.

'It's coming…' Inuyasha in thought. 'I better prepare myself.' He reaches over far enough to grab the Tetsaiga and wedge it into the ground and gripping it. All he can do now is observe his wife's incredible power.

'It's ready.' Kagome in thought as she is prepared to attack.

"WIND STRIKER!" She throws her arms forward towards Koga as the semi-circle force races at him. Koga could do nothing but hold his ground, but even that wasn't enough as he is taken from the ground and flown away from his cave and out into the open. Hakkaku and Ginta stare in disbelief as to see their leader blown away like that in one attack.

"It's unreal!" Hakkaku cries out. "This is not possible!"

"We sure have underestimated her!" Ginta interrupting.

Inuyasha simply stares at Kagome and puts together what she had performed. 'It's…amazing. I knew she was something special, but this really blows me away. I wonder if Kagome has other powers that she's been practicing…'

Meanwhile, Koga had landed on his feet after been given the "Wind Striker" attack. He managed to catch himself before landing, but is aware that Kagome is someone to be reckoned with, when threatened.

"I could never imagine her having this much energy. Yet again, who knew about it other than her?" Koga leaps back up to the proper level to meet everybody else. This time, he would be cautious about it. Koga walks into the cave once more to see Kagome looking at him. And this time, he attempts to reason with her.

"Ok Kagome, you made your point. I can see what you can do. As much as I don't want to, you and your…husband...can leave."

"What!? Just like that, you're allowing them to leave?" Hakkaku and Ginta confused.

"Spare the argument you fools!" Koga stating. 'Besides, if I try to make a move on Kagome again, who knows what she might release. It could be the last of me. Kagome is now as strong as Inuyasha.'

Kagome looks back at Inuyasha and sees that he is getting up slowly, but manages to get to his feet. She comes over to assist.

"Inuyasha, are you alright?" Kagome concerned.

"Never been better…" Inuyasha replies sarcastically. Kagome smirks at her husband.

"Let's go home." Kagome says.

"Gladly."

Inuyasha and Kagome walk out of the cave with Koga, Hakkaku, and Ginta looking over their departure. As they are walking down, Kagome had an idea in mind.

"Inuyasha…"

"Yes, Kagome…?"

"I have another power I would like to use." Kagome then whispers to what is this new attack and where to use it. This thought makes Inuyasha smirk.

"Why not? It will keep those three busy for a while…"

Kagome faces Koga's hideout and starts her routine. With her legs at shoulder width, she places the heels of her wrists together and curls her fingers in a semi-circle position. Kagome focuses with all of her might to develop this new technique that is as or more powerful than her "Wind Striker." Slowly, a bright energy sphere is being formed in her hands, glowing brightly and forming electricity with every second.

'This is something special to see.' Inuyasha in thought. 'I can sense this power building rapidly.'

As they walk inside the cave, Koga stops suddenly.

"Hey Koga, what's up?" Ginta in question.

"I sense something strong just outside the cave." Koga curious. "Wait, they haven't left yet!"

Koga runs at the entrance of his cave to see Kagome about to unleash a new power.

"Kagome, what are you doing!?" Koga angry.

"Well, I figure you and your friends need to do something for a while. So, why not kill time with this…" Kagome stating.

"LIGHTNING SPHERE!"

Kagome blasts the energy ball above Koga's head and into the mountain side. Realizing it was going to strike above him, Koga runs back into the cave to avoid being crushed by the falling debris. He runs into safety with his comrades but not before the mountain side caves in the entrance.

"Oh man, how are we going to get out?" Hakkaku says.

"Simple, dig our way out!" Koga stating. 'Might as well get started. I guess we'll have to kill time by doing this.'

Just outside the cave, Inuyasha and Kagome look amongst the damage and realize Koga won't be coming for them anytime soon.

"I'm glad that is over." Inuyasha relieved.

"Me too." Kagome replying as she starts to feel exhausted. "Can I get on your back, Inuyasha?"

"Of course, Kagome. Let's go back to the village."
