The miko took another step forward as the heated glow radiated around her. Her anger had heightened unimaginably as she saw the smirk on the shinigami's face grow. The fact that he was enjoying her pain made her even more infuriated.

A long sliver of pink rose from the barrier and made its way towards the red head.

"Why do you assume you have the right to do that?" Kagome paused and took in a shaky breath as she tried to bottle her anger, " Why can you look at my memories as if they are there for your entertainment?"

Grell smirked and Kagome clenched her fists as the barrier grew larger, as if warning the shinigami to be careful of his words, " I am merely doing what I am supposed to do." he said nonchalantly as he eyed the thread of Kagome's barrier carefully.

Kagome rose her voice angrily, " What are you talking about? What are you?" she demanded as she stomped her foot and Grell looked amused.

"I'm a Shinigami – a Death God if you will." he shrugged shoulders and said innocently, " I look at peoples good and bad memories and determine whether they deserve to die or not."

Kagome's eyes widened, then narrowed again, accusingly, "And do you think I deserve to die?"

Grell pursed his lips, then curved them into a malevolent smile, " It doesn't matter to me. All I care about is the thrill of killing and seeing that beautiful shade of your blood covering everything."

Kagome grit her teeth, disgusted. To think that this guy could be so evil. It reminded her too much of Naraku, "Your despicable!" she bit out.

Grell laughed, "Well now, compliments will get you no where."

Kagome couldn't stand it anymore. This man. Or this Shinigami. Whatever he was! He had pushed her last nerves. Suddenly a whip of pink energy darted towards Grell. Surprised, he jumped to the side, blocking it with his scythe. He looked at Kagome astonished for a moment before returning to his enjoyment, "You'll have to do better than that Kagome! I'm not as breakable as you humans, after all I am a god!"

Kagome bit her lip and sent out a wave of her barrier towards him, engulfing him in her purity. Grell paused as he slowly moved around, "I'm not going to let you get away. After killing all those innocent woman, and trying to kill me –" She waved her hand making the energy pull his scythe away from him, " Your worse than the lowest demon!"

Grell's eyes widened in fear as reality caught up to him. He was trapped and his scythe had been taken from him. Not good. A burst of energy slammed into him, making him wince. He coughed up a little blood before another wave hit him, "It was a joke!" he yelled as he laughed uncomfortably, "I never meant to kill you!"

Kagome stopped for a moment before narrowing her eyes at him again, " I am not that stupid. I've heard that line a million times, and I'm not going to fall prey to it again." she closed her eyes before raising up scythe into her grasps, "If your so powerful, than maybe this can hurt you?"

The rage Kagome was feeling was unimaginable. If she had to come to a completely different country, and time. Couldn't the bitterness she always had to feel be left behind as well? She missed Inuyasha so much. So much her heart felt like it was being torn apart. And when she thought of Kikyo, it just made it worse. Now that Kagome was gone, did that mean that Inuyasha had moved on and went ahead and mated Kikyo? It made her body and soul ache whe –

"Kagome!" suddenly, she was pulled from her emotional reverie right before she noticed Grell was charging at her. Wait, had the barrier disappeared because she had lost focus?

Before she could think anymore Grell was standing in front of her, scythe in hand – ready to cut her into bits. Kagome looked in horror at what she thought would be the last second of her life before she felt a strong pair of arms lift her up, "Damn it!" a voice muttered. Kagome looked up and saw Sebastian, worry planted all over his face. Slowly, he stopped running and put her down.

"Thank you.." Kagome murmured. Sebastian did nothing, as if he hadn't heard her. She glanced back at where the Shinigami was. Pouting, Grell turned around and whined,

"Sebby!" he took a step forward, "Why did you do that?"
