Kagome chased after Tadashiki as she avoided running into women and men on the streets. It was funny, how no matter how dangerous a situation might be, there always seemed to be pedestrians in her way. Taking a quick left, she stopped short to see a group of Choshuu warriors in her way, blocking her from doing harm to her prey.
"Get out of my way, or be cut down where you stand!"
The four between her and Tadashiki sprint forward towards her as they yelled out similar forms of a battle cry. Kagome glared hatefully at them before charging forward herself, she pulled her twin blades from their spot on her sash and slashed the throats of two of the men blocking her way, bring one of her blades down atop the skull of the third before kicking the forth and causing him to turn back, facing Tadashiki before her other blade pierced him in the back.
"I warned them..." She said softly under her breath, "It's not my fault that your men chose foolishly to ignore my warning. Now it's your turn, Tadashiki. I don't take insults to well, and being called a whore was most definitely that!"
Tadashiki fell backwards, tripping over his own feet as he pulled his sword out in time to block Kagome's twin strike. Leaving one of her blades to keep his locked into place, she pulled the other back, and penetrated his chest with her blade.
Turning in time to see Souji appear around the corner, Kagome smiled as he sheathed his own blade before smiling back at her in return.
"Is that it?"
"Yeah, we have one taken captive, the others are dead. But none got away."
"Good to hear." Kagome placed both her swords back in there sheaths before running alongside Souji as they made their way back to Hijikata and Kondo. "Hijikata-Dono!" Kagome smiled as she ran forward and into his line of view.
"Everything went according to plan, you did well, Kagome."
Kondo sighed, "You will need to leave the red-light district. I'm afraid it's too dangerous for you to remain there any longer."
Kagome nodded her head towards Kondo before returning her eyes to Hijikata. There was no sign of injury from anyone that she deemed important, only a few scrapes and bruises from the squads, but the leaders and captains were all fine and in good health. "Shall we return?"
Hijikata nodded, giving the command for his men to carry back their captive. Kagome followed quietly behind Hijikata, a frown on her lips as she turned around slowly, glancing up towards the many windows around her. 'I feel as if I'm being watched...'
'I believe that is because you are. Kagome use your purification energy...'
'But what will that do?'
'Honestly, you pay so little attention to your surroundings; you are being followed by a demon...if it doesn't kill it, your purification energy will at least scare it off and warn it of the danger that you can be.'
'Right...' Kagome didn't notice Hijikata turning around to see what she was doing; closing her eyes, she pushed out her purification energy and let it spread out dangerously around her before shooting it off in every which way imaginable. "...whoever it was...or whatever it was...it's gone for now."
'Yes...for now...'
"Kagome...was there a problem?"
"Oh!" Kagome turned around and smiled, "I...umm...I felt like someone was...watching me." She really couldn't bring herself to lie to him any longer. He trusted her, and she honestly loved the way it felt to be trusted with something, anything...she was in charge of the Shikon Jewel, but Inuyasha didn't leave it with her because he trusted her with it, but because he had no other choice than to leave her with it. "I'm pretty sure...it was a demon."
He looked over her for a good few seconds before turning his attention to the buildings around them, "I'm not sure of what you mean...by demon."
"I'm referring to a being five times stronger than a human with the natural ability to heal ones injuries. They are faster, they are stronger, and in most everything, they excel over humans." Kagome frowned, "No...that isn't completely true...maybe they are just naturally strong, and naturally fast...and they heal fast and live longer, but unlike humans, they don't need to train the way we do...they are born talented...we work for it. While some of them look more like monsters, there are some who have humanoid forms and even animal forms..." Kagome watched his eyebrows knit together and realized he was more confused than before, "I will try and explain better later...for now, let's return to the others..."
Hijikata nodded and both left the area, returning to the Shinsengumi headquarters.

"...I want her..."
"I thought you wanted the other one."
"No longer do I desire that one...I want the Miko..."
"...right."
