I am so sorry! I haven't had the time to update because of school and friends. My friend refuses t let me have some time by myself on my school holidays and I had to study for my exams. I'll give some advice for lil' juniors: study! Study! Study! Really, study. I didn't study all the way through my ten years of junior years and I'm paying for it now.

Alright enough of that, lets get on with chapter four (I'm that far?)

Chapter Four: Kagome's Miko powers

Kagome walked with Rin, who was pulling on her hand to tug Kagome to find Sesshoumaru, "He is still in his study isn't he, Kaida-chan?" Rin asked

Kaida nodded her head, "He sure is, Rin," Kaida looked at Kagome who was looking out the windows that they passed, "What is that you desire to talk to Sessy-chan about?" Kaida asked

"Oh, I just need to ask him something, that's all. And I think that I'm going to need you to help me. You see, I also have an adoptive child, but he's a little kitsune demon, and I miss him, so I'm going to see if Sesshoumaru will take me to go get Shippo,"

"You're child?" Kaida asked

"Yep,"

"Okay then, I'll help you get him; Rin will have a play friend then. Does he like to play?" Kaida asked. At the words 'Rin' 'play' 'friend' Rin looked up at Kagome and Kaida and grinned at them.

"Yep, he sure does. Shippo never stops playing," Kagome laughed at the memories she had with Shippo, "And if Sesshoumaru doesn't agree with me, then because you're his friend you can persuade him to help me get Shippo,"

Kaida smiled at Kagome, "Okay then, it's settled. Well, here it is, you better go in and talk to him," Kaida knocked on the door and waited for something.

"Come in," Sesshoumaru called out

"Lady Kagome is here to see you Sesshoumaru," Kaida called back and opened the door

"What you're not coming with me?" Kagome said

"No,"

"But-,"

"Get going then," Kaida pushed Kagome into the room.

When Kagome stepped into the room, Sesshoumaru was there standing near the door.

"Jeeze, were you just sitting there, waiting for me?" Kagome asked him

"I sensed your presence coming towards me so I waited, now what is it that you want human?" Sesshoumaru asked

Kagome narrowed her eyes and placed her hands on her hips as she glared at him, "Okay, let's get something straight, Sesshoumaru, my name is Kagome, K-A-G-O-M-E! Say it with me, Kagome!" Kagome hissed as she looked into his eyes

"I will call you whatever I want, but what did you want?" Sesshoumaru asked again

Kagome still was a little ruffled about the name thing but she continued anyway, "Well I was wondering, because we left in such a hurry today, that if you could please, well return to Kaede's hut for half an hour while I get my bag and Shippo,"

"Shippo? The kitsune I presume," Sesshoumaru said turning around to his desk

"Yes, he is like what Rin is to you, an adoptive child," Kagome answered him. Sesshoumaru paused for a moment before looking back round at Kagome, "Okay then, we shall leave tomorrow,"

Kagome beamed at him, "Really? Wait a moment!" Kagome suddenly felt hurt and disgruntled, "But I want to go now!" Kagome knew that she sounded like a little girl but she didn't care at the moment.

"Ah and Un have been put away for the night, and it is nearing night time," Sesshoumaru turned back around to his desk before walking around it and sitting down, "It would be dangerous then,"

"Since when have you started caring about me?" Kagome asked, as she placed her hands on her hips.

Sesshoumaru merely looked down at his paperwork, "Since Kaida is doing such a bad job of teaching Rin and you are Rin's teacher now, I have to make sure that you continue to exist until I am satisfied with her teaching,"

Stay calm Kagome. It's going to be alright, nothing will happen to Shippo while you're away. Kagome told herself until she believed it, but she couldn't help herself, "You're such a butt head!" Then she turned on her heel and stomped out of the room, leaving a confused Sesshoumaru, a scared Rin and an angry Kaida.

Kagome made her way towards the door that she had seen before when coming towards Sesshoumaru's study. Kaida said that it lead to the door out of this place. Kagome pushed the door open in there it was, in all it's glory, the way out of this place. Kagome stomped over to it and using the palm on her hand, pushed the door open and slammed it shut with tremendous force.

From there, Kagome made her way towards the gate went through it and into the bright, open world of the Western Lands that Sesshoumaru, who Kagome had now renamed 'Butt Head'.

Marching her way through the field of grass that lay ahead of her, Kagome only felt rage.

STUPID BROTHERS! THEY ARE EXACTLY ALIKE! I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY; BOTH OF THEM ARE BIG FAT HEADS THAT DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE ELSE BUT THEMSELVES! Every few moments different profanities came out of Kagome's mouth.

At least two hours later, Kagome was well and truly into the forest. And well and truly lost.

"Oh, where do I go?" Kagome said softly as she tried to see through the darkness. Now she regretted ever going off at Sesshoumaru and listening to her own blind rage, because now she might die of starvation or of a demon.

"No I can't think like that. I have to stay positive!" Kagome said to herself as she walked around another tree, "I will get out of this place, alive and well. And I'll live another day to see my little Shippo,"

Too consumed in her own thoughts Kagome didn't notice the tree root that stuck out from the ground and she tripped over it, "Uhhh!" Kagome let out a low groan as she landed on her knees and hands. During this fall a partially sharp twig had deeply scratched Kagome up the arm, leaving her with scarped hands and knees with a bleeding cut along her arm. This wasn't good. Demons could smell blood from miles around and at any time a demon could be upon her. Mentally cursing her clumsiness, Kagome tore away some of her shirt and wrapped it around her cut to stop the bleeding.

Now she was tired from the walking that she had just completed so Kagome fell back onto the trunk and closed her eyes. I'll rest my eyes for a moment. She thought as sleep took over her body.

Kagome finally opened her eyes, it was pitch back. She pushed her back up against the tree a bit more until her eyes became adjusted to the dim light that the forest held. Kagome stood up and brushed her skirt off, wincing at the pain in her palms, "Ow," she said

Suddenly she heard a twig snap. Kagome spun around to see what, or who, had stepped on the twig but she couldn't see anything, "Who's out there?" Kagome called out, "I'm a Miko and I will purify you if you come any where near me!" Kagome's voice became high pitched with fear as the foot steps came closer to her.

"Purify me human? I doubt that very much," A deep voice said. For a moment Kagome thought it was Sesshoumaru but the demon came into her eye sight and she was deeply disappointed, and scared, when it was a huge bear demon, "You don't even look like a Miko," Kagome couldn't tell if it was a female or male demon.

Kagome backed up against the tree, "Looks can be deceiving," she said, hoping her voice sounded braver than she felt.

"Today you die, Miko," the demon said before launching itself at her. Kagome screamed then ran to the side as the demon slammed into the tree. It said a few words in demon which Kagome took to be curse words.

Kagome could do nothing but run through the forest, hoping that there weren't any more demons following the bear demon. She could hear the bear demon clawing its way towards her.

Kagome turned her head a little bit so she could see the demon behind her. The bear demon was on all fours and teeth bearing at Kagome. Where's the drool? Kagome asked herself as she turned her head back towards the front. Let's face it; I won't be able to out run this demon. No way have I got a chance, so I might as well go down with a fight. Kagome spun around to face the demon. It skidded to a stop three metres away from her and grinned at her, bearing its sharp teeth, "Finally deicide to give up?" The demon asked her

"No way, I've just decided to fight back that's all," Kagome said, breathing loudly. Kagome was sure that the demon could hear her heart beat as it pounded against her rib cage.

The demon ran at her and raised its paw then brought it down. Kagome moved out of the way but not fast enough. The bear reopened the cut on Kagome's arm but much worse this time as it made the cut deeper.

It moved towards her again but Kagome placed her hand against its side and white light started glowing. The demon roared in pain as Kagome purified its side, "You'll pay for that Miko!" he roared as it pulled away from her hand.

Kagome looked at the purified area of the demon. Did I do that? Suddenly, instead of fear, adrenaline pumped through her body. Kagome frowned at the demon, "I told you looks can be deceiving," she said proudly but while she talking the demon had already started to move and extended it claws at her face but Kagome moved to the side, making the claws cut her on the shoulder. As Kagome gasped the demon struck again by coming close to Kagome and swung at her with it claws, scratching her across the stomach.

Kagome stepped backwards as it scratched her stomach. Crying out in pain Kagome tried to run but the demon blocked her every move to escape from it. Thank Kami I don't have my belly pierced.

Finally Kagome tripped on a root again, landing on her back. The demon stood over her, triumph on its every feature, "Now is your death!" it said bending down towards her.

Kagome placed both of her hands out at the demon and closed her eyes. She could smell the demon's flesh smelling breath as a white light was emitted from her hands.

The demon cried out in surprise as it turned to run away from Kagome but the purification beam had enclosed it before it could even get a few feet away from Kagome.

Opening her eyes, Kagome saw a purified demon lying in front of her. She covered her mouth as she realised what had happened. Tears filled her eyes as she came to realise how close to death she had been.

She looked at her shaking hands then looked up as she saw a white figure come towards her. Am I dead?

Kagome looked closer and saw it was Sesshoumaru coming towards her, not an angelic person, "Sesshoumaru," Kagome choked out as she ran towards him. Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome as she ran towards him.

Her arms wrapped around him as Kagome met him where he was standing. For a moment, Sesshoumaru was shocked. Did this human dare touch him? Then he saw her shoulders shaking. He realised that Kagome was crying.

By the time Kagome realised that she was crying into Sesshoumaru, it was too late to take back any damage that had been done to her pride. Plus it'll be a hell of a job getting the bloodstains out of his Kimono.

"I'm sorry," Kagome said still not pulling away from him. She was warm and she felt safe.

Sesshoumaru placed one arm around her shoulders and one hand under her chin, forcing her to look at him "For what?" He raised his eyebrow at her

"Getting blood on your cloths," Kagome said pulling away from him, "It probably won't come out now,"

Sesshoumaru just stared at her and said, "It doesn't matter," then he turned away and started walking back towards where he had just come from.

Kagome ran after him and for a moment was silent then she said, "Can I still get Shippo?"

"After your wounds have healed,"

BUTT HEAD!

I know that Sesshoumaru has only one arm but it's my story, so he has two arms.

Well, not much I can say here but REVIEW! Please.
