Jaken unexpectedly feels the hairs at the back of his neck stand up while he silently conducts surveillance on the current area that they were currently in with hopes to locate the source of his suspicious.

'It feels as if someone is using lighting nearby.' He inwardly assumes since his nerves seem to completely stand on end just like the hairs at his nape were every since they fly in that direction.

"Jaken, what's wrong?" Rin curiously asked after she noted that Jaken had a deep thoughtful expression on his face.

"Never mind...it is nothing to worry about anything." Jaken lied to the girl while his eyes cut over to a potential location of the source.

'Is this why Lord Sesshomaru wanted us to come in this town for a fight?' Jaken thought to himself.

Meanwhile with Kirara and Bankostu, 'So it seems as if he is skilled in hand to hand combat.'

She blocked a kicked that was directed at her head with both of her forearms before she grabbed it and forced his leg down, which caused his weight to shift forward in her direction.

'Aiming for the face?' He assumes before he counters for his face instead Kirara aims for his stomach before she follows up with a roundhouse to his jaw.

This created some space in between the two fighters. "You know I am quite upset that I have not been able to force you to use your powers against me."

Kirara stares at him to see that he was dead serious about his statement. "Oh big brother Bankostu is right…she has not been using her powers." Renkostu states.

Jakostu could not believe how slow their second in command was, 'Duh that was the main thing.'

A smile materializes on her face when she spots movement from the corner of her eyes before she ducks her head to avoid being hit by Banryuu.

"I thought I said from earlier that our warm up was over?" Bankostu restates before he twirls his halberd in his hand above his head.

"What if I say I am not warmed up yet?" Kirara honestly answers his question.

'So that may be the reason why she could not use her power.' The thought ran through Bankostu and Jakostu's head when they recalled what happened last night.

'That's why it took her so long to respond to that youkai.' Jakostu concludes to himself while his brothers watch in anticipation that Bankostu was the winner.

'I am going to let him believe that lie as long as he wants.' She coyly mentions to herself while she firmly takes a stance against Bankostu.

He jumped in to the air without any hesitation but this time he spun his halberd and created lighting.

Kirara shifted her stance so that her feet were shoulder width apart with her left arm up with her right arm straight behind her.

'She's about to use her power…' Jakostu and Bankostu predict when Kirara closes her eyes.

Bankostu watches as rocks from the ground breaks apart from the ground as the lighting strikes the rocks instead of Kirara.

"She is making use of her surroundings…just how far along is your combat skills." Sesshomaru regards while he witnesses the battle unfold before his eyes.

Kirara smelt a familiar scent that belonged to none other than the dog youaki, except for Sesshomaru. 'So it seems as if our battle has attracted more spectators.'

"Alright then…" she saying more to herself before closing her eyes concentrating on harnessing her powers.

Bankostu and the spectators watch in awe when flames encircle her body and causes her hair to float upward with a dent that grows in the ground.

'She's not manipulating fire…she's creating it.' Renkostu deduces to himself while he admires the woman's flames that encircles her.

Bankostu grew excited at the sight before his eyes as Kirara tapped in to her powers, when she opened her eyes to show that they were white.

She punches the ground and creates a rip in the ground before geysers of flames erupt from the crack.

Banksotu spun his Banryuu and released a red light from the tip that sliced through the flames. Kirara raised her left hand before the light connected to create smoke.

'Where did you go?' He wonders to himself while he searches around in the smoke for any sudden movement from his opponent.

He felt something grab his ankles before he peered down to see Kirara grabbed his ankles before she pulled him down toward the ground.

She had the advantage due to how close they were; she connected with his thigh to force him down to one knee before she punches him in the face before he falls on his back.

Kirara can feel her reach her limit, 'I got to quickly end this…'

"Good, we are making progress somewhere." Bankostu uttered before he rose to his feet and reached for his Banryuu.

'How can he still have this much power?' she wonders when she dodges a swing from Banryuu when she sees that he follows with an upper slash that catches her forearm. 'It's as if he has gain more speed…' she assumes after she feels the cut on her arm.

"Come on now…I don't want you to ease up on me now." Bankostu utters before he switches his Banryuu to his opposite hand.

'No…he has been keeping this as his ace in the hole.' She concluded when she avoided another downward slash before landing on her hands.

Kirara used her new position that she was in and channeled some flames downward to her feet. It causes a ring of fire to appear before it connects to Bankostu's body.

She saw him reach for this halberd's hilt, removed himself from the ground before he dragged his blade against the ground, and caused rocks to fly upwards.

Kirara used that to her advantage and kicked them in the direction of Bankostu, who only blocked it with his Banryuu.

'She is reaching her limit.' He judges after he spots Kirara's shoulders heave up and down.

"Banryuu" Kirara sees purple light instead of yellow bends around the rocks and catches her off-guard.

'He managed to get a hit in but was it enough?' Jakostu wonders to himself after he watches the move Bankostu makes against Kirara.

"He got a hit in." Kyoukostu joyfully proclaims.

Bankostu's eyes finally catch a glimpse of Kirara's body straighten out on the ground with her back toward him.

'And so we end it…' Bankostu assumes to himself before he settles his Banryuu on his neck while he studies the result of his move.

'It's not over with…' Sesshormaru thought with his eyes closed and Jakostu shared the same thought as well.

"Yeah big brother Bankostu won!" Renkostu sounds more like a little child then a high ranking solider.

'There he goes again…jumping to conclusions again.' Jakostu notes while he rubs his head with his hand at Renkostu's statement.

All of a sudden flames engulfed Kirara's entire body, "Oh it seems as if she is having her rebirth."

"Is it me or did it get hotter?" Mukostu ponders while he fans himself with one of his hands.

"We need to get Ginkostu out of here. Renkostu, do you have any gunpowder on you?" Jakostu quickly inquires while he stares at his brothers.

"We already put Ginkostu a good distance away from us and I did not bring any due to you telling me that she could use fire." Renkostu supplies Jakostu's question.

'Good because from here on…we have to be ready for anything now…' Jakostu thought when his eyes fell on to the burning woman.

Bankostu noticed that her skin had melted off her body completely leaving nothing but flames, 'I wonder what would come out now?'

The temperature in their vicinity continues to escalate to a dangerous high, 'She's entering her demon's stage.'

A white leg with black fur at the bottom emerges and then another leg steps out of the flames. Next was a black snout then more white fur, red eyes with black pupils, a black diamond, black tipped ears, and more white fur along with two tails that each have two black stripes.

'So that is her demon form?' Everyone assumed as they marveled at how Kirara looked in her demon's form.

"Ah she is so cute in her demon form…" Jakostu happily claimed with hearts as his eyes when he saw how she looked.

'Wow she is huge…' Bankostu thinks since he has to look up at Kirara and estimates that she was a medium size demon.

'She is a full breed youaki.' Sesshomaru concludes after he studies Kirara in her true form.

'It seems as if Lady Kirara has activated her demon form.' One of her men thought after he caught sight of white fur from their location.

'This should be interesting then…' Bankostu's grip around his Banryuu tightened out of anticipation at whats could happen next.

Kirara lifts her foot, slams it back down, and creates a shockwave for those who are on the ground.

Sesshomaru chose this as the perfect time to intervene in the situation, "I will step in from here since you are unable to handle this kind of situation, human."

"And what do you plan on doing then?" Bankostu shouted, as he was angered that he was being interrupted in the middle of his battle by none other than the Lord of the West, Sesshomaru.

"Unless you can transform into a larger animal then you don't have a chance." Sesshomaru proclaimed with his eyes now blood shot red and his pupils light purple.

Kirara peers down to see Sesshomaru and Bankostu converse with each other when flames emit from her feet as the forest became ablaze from her flame output.

'I did not want to grow this big…I wonder what happened.' She ponders when she senses that something was wrong.

"Bankostu," Jakostu calls out from behind the bush as a means to catch his raven-haired brother's focus.

"This is no longer a human's fight. This will be a clash between two full fledged demons." Jakostu firmly warns his brother.

'I can't believe that he was using me.' Bankostu annoyingly thinks to himself when he watches as a white light engulfs Sesshomaru.

'It seems as if I will take a time out here.'

Kirara spots a white dog with a wild mane similar to hers with a wild bushy tail. She notices it has red eyes with the distinctive purple crescent moon on its forehead.

'What is that leaking from his mouth?' she wonders when she observes green liquid emanates from its mouth.

Sesshomaru opens his mouth in order to release a loud howl that shakes the earth before he assumes an offensive stance against Kirara.

'Just great…I was trying to fight him…wait a minute what am I thinking? This is a golden opportunity to make a scratch on his face.' She contemplates to herself.

She mirrors his stance except on the opposite foot while she tries to bait him with her claw so he would make the first move.

Yet he did not budge with her attack when she realized that he wanted her to do that so she could touch that green liquid from his mouth.

'What is it?' she asks when she sees it drip onto the earth and burns a hole in it, 'It's acid!'

'She's open.' Sesshomaru executes his move and forces Kirara on her back as it causes some trees in the forest to flatten underneath her weight.

'Oh…I did not really expect him to interrupt my fight like he did…' Kirara thought when she saw a shadow on her before she realized that Sesshomaru had pinned her underneath him.

'So he thinks he is the big dog then…' Kirara was thinking before shifting her feet underneath his belly, forcing his claws from the ground and pushing him off of her.

Kirara shakes her head while she rises to her feet when she feels the earth rattles underneath her. She peers up to see that Sesshomaru charges at her once again.

She dropped her mouth as a fireball amassed there before she fired it off at Sesshomaru.

He continues to charge at her before he slashes it in half with his tail. The two spheres now set two parts of the forest aflame.

Kirara's eyes hone in on to his tail as it points in her direction when she observes its fur change to smaller and almost invisible needles.

She jumps in the air to dodge the small projectiles before she utilizes her flames to propel her forward in Sesshomaru's direction.

Kirara predicted that Sesshomaru had opened his mouth in hope that she landed on him only to be burn by the acid in his mouth.

'Crap…' she remarks while she changes direction before impact and instead lands on the side of Sesshomaru and bares her teeth.

Before she could get any closer, she was slapped in the face with his tail and caused her to stumble over a little bit before she lost her footing.

'I won't lose…'
