Kagome sat in a corner of her room her arm bruised from her last fight with Ichiro. Kagome knew that she had made a deal and she also feared that she would have to show that she meant every word. She thought about it she never really just out and killed another she has fought Naraku and tried to kill him but other than that her pack did most of the killing. She was deep in thought when the door opened and Naraku stood there. "Your little pack got smart and is tracking the castle down right now. I think you should wear this though." Naraku tossed a grey long dress at Kagome. He allowed her to pull it on and lead her out the door she could feel his mouth over her shoulder one move to run and she would be numb it was not time yet.
Sesshomaru and his pack followed a small warrior group through the woods as they had just found a few victims. Miroku had wanted to save the souls but as they were already dead this was going to be there one chance to see and maybe get Kagome back. They walked a while longer then the castle just seemed to appear. Sesshomaru and the others stopped as the doors opened for the group. Sesshomaru reached for his sword as the door opened all the way to reveal Ichiro and his men. "Come on out old friend I know you are there." Sesshomaru was pissed how did he know. Miroku and the others held their ground being one short made them a little nervous. "Don't make me come out there for you." Finally Sesshomaru walked out his pack right behind him. "I told you I would be back for my miko." Sesshomaru yelled hoping Kagome could hear him where ever she was. "Yes. You have said that before young lord but I am here to tell you she is my Miko now." Naraku spoke as he appeared behind his army holding Kagome by the waist. Sesshomaru growled under his breath. "Get your hands off her!" Miroku yelled as he could see that his sister was pale her eyes tired. "I think not monk I have grown so fond of her I am planning on keeping her." Miroku and Sesshomaru had enough as they drew their weapons. In a flash the army and Kagome's pack collided in battle.
Kagome was watching as the army fought her pack with hard but whenever there was an opening for a kill shot they did not take it. Kagome held her breath for Ichiro was in a fierce battle with Sesshomaru while a snake demon was going at her brother. "See little miko I keep to my word." "You better our lives are on the line." Kagome spoke watching the snake demon made her nervous.
Inuyasha was fighting hard against a tiger demon when he noticed that he wasn't using his slash attack. "Why aren't they trying to kill us?" Inuyasha yelled over to Miroku who was holding back the snake demon. "I don't know its like they want to hurt us but not kill us." Miroku yelled back as a rat demon appeared ready to bite his leg as arrow hit it. Kikyo waved from her spot up in a tree where Inuyasha felt she was safe. Sesshomaru was holding Ichiro back he wanted to get close to Kagome let her know that she would be home soon. "Come on old friend give up. All you can hope for is to live knowing that her body and soul belong to Naraku." Ichiro laughed as Sesshomaru kicked him in the gut. "Why isn't your army tying to kill us just break us?" Ichiro smiled a nasty smile. "Your little miko made a deal. Your lives for theirs." Sesshomaru was taken back his Miko made a deal to keep them alive. Then he heard a scream from Miroku and Ichiro ran fast to his master.
The snake demon was getting tired she knew that she could kill this human prove to her master that the miko had no real power over him. So she waited and then she used her tail and cut right into his chest. Miroku felt the hit and fell back. Kagome screamed out. She looked at Naraku and saw the fear but at this moment his life would be spared. As Ichiro appeared to protect Naraku Kagome let her aura go her real body left standing there. Kagome's aura ran as fast as a demon and stopped right behind the snake demon. "How dare you!" Kagome screamed her aura looked as if it was her but see-through. The snake turned only to find that she no longer could move Kagome pulled her hands back her look sent a deep fear into the demon. "You were told not to take their life, but no you had to get all big and think that I was no threat." Kagome even with tears in her eyes moved again and then the demon fell lifeless as Kagome held her soul. "I had no choice or else I would lose them all." Kagome let the soul go then ran to her brother. Miroku was breathing heavy the blood being pumped out of him. "Kagome I left myself open. I am so sorry." Kagome was crying even harder now. "Oh Miroku. This is all my fault I should have made sure you guys got away. I never wanted you to get hurt." Kagome was crying as she placed her hand over the open wound and as she moved Miroku felt his body go numb but it was a warm feeling. "I wont let you die." Kagome was crying as she looked up at Sesshomaru. "Please he has only one chance to live and that is if you take him home now. I have been able to stop the bleeding out but it wont last long. Please Sesshomaru please." Kagome's aura was on her knees crying hard. Sesshomaru took her in his arms. "Please don't give up my miko we will be back." Kagome let go her aura rushing back to her body as Sesshomaru picked Miroku up. The last thing he saw was Kagome's soul and body meeting once more. Kagome fell back and right before hitting the ground Naraku grabbed her. He smiled at the dog demon. "Unlike me she cannot keep her thoughts in her body and soul." He laughed as the group ran off.
Sesshomaru was yelling as he came through the gates. "Mom! I need you in and the healers!" Sesshomaru was running when finally his stepmother appeared. She saw the blood and Kagome's aura holding it in. "Get him on a table now." She ordered as she pulled her sleeves up. Once on the table Sesshomaru and the others were told to go outside. The three sat there alone hoping that a dear friend would make it through. "How... how can Kagome move her aura as if its her?" Inuyasha said out loud. Kikyo smiled for the first time. "We learned in school that those with high spirt can learn to pull their soul into their aura and move it as they would their body. We have even read that those who train can keep a small part of their soul and move their body and aura at the same time." "So even if you were to pull on their soul as long as they has a small part they can talk and even move?" Kikyo nodded to Inuyasha's question. "Naraku should be able to do it with all the souls he has stolen. I mean unless you take all his souls plus his he will be able to move talk maybe fight even if you were able to hold his soul." The group sat for a while it was quite while inside healers were working hard to safe Miroku. Sesshomaru couldn't sit any more so he went for a walk. He knew now how strong Kagome could be and that meant that Naraku would do all he could to keep her. "She does not belong to him." Sesshomaru spoke under his breath he couldn't get the vision of Naraku catching Kagome out of his head. He kept thinking that it should be him holding Kagome when she falls and once again he would have to track the castle down. Sesshomaru was in a deep thought that he never saw Mia coming up until she was standing in front of him. "Your back?" Mia asked she could see there was a lot on her lord's mind. "We had to...Miroku was hurt and it his life was on the line." Mia wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru her head in his chest. "My lord can't you see Kagome is a lost cause every time you go after her someone almost dies." Sesshomaru pulled Mia off him. "My miko is not a lost cause. I will get her back and its Kagome who saved Miroku he would be dead if not for her." Sesshomaru couldn't talk to Mia anymore and he walked off leaving Mia standing there.
Miroku woke to find Sango holding his hand tears running down her face. "I thought I was going to lose you." Sango said through her tears. Miroku tried to smile but he was in a lot of pain. "Your lucky. Where is your sister learning all these tricks." Miroku turned to the lady of the castle. "My father gave her books all about things we can do as monks or mikos. She has been reading and I think practicing since she was little. My father wanted her to learn since he found her doing things just naturally without control." Miroku saw the look on the great miko's face as she then started to walk out. "That girl might be the key to our future." She said before walking out. Sango held a little tighter as Miroku coughed a little. "Do you think we will ever get her home?" Sango looked at Miroku as he looked up. "I believe that she will come home...I just think that she will have to do it on her own." The words sat there as he started to feel sleepy and then he was out. Sango laid back down holding onto Miroku as she too feel asleep. Sesshomaru sat in his room in the dark his mind racing. Kagome had made a deal to keep them alive but if they die he knew that her life would end as well. "We have to bring her home." Sesshomaru said as she tossed something across the room. He hated how he felt he was so calm before Kagome came into his life. He laughed because as much as he hated the feelings he wouldn't trade them. Its what made him feel alive and he wanted it back. He felt a cool breeze a storm was about two nights away.
Naraku stood in front of his army he had to address what had happened He could sense there was more fear of Kagome now. "When I asked that they not be killed it was not a half promise to Kagome it was a deal to keep me alive. You all now have seen what she can do and how fast she can do it. We will not kill her pack but find a way to rule over them. " The group roared in cheers as Naraku stood his souls racing inside him.
