Chapter 2: The Tracking
Kagome finished dressing in her hunter's clothing which looked like Sango's but where it was red, it was purple and the pink pads where purple also. She wore a short black skirt over her black tight pants. She then pulled her raven hair up in a ponytail, and then braided it to make sure it stays out of her face. Next she placed the gas mask like the one worn by Sango, on her face. So when Sango used her poison gas it would not hurt her. Finally, she placed her small knifes in miscellaneous places upon her body then loaded her quiver upon her back and carried the bow in her hands. She stepped outside the hut to find Sango dressed and waiting for her upon Kirara, who was fully transformed.
"Alright, lets get." Sango said as she pulled Kagome up behind her and spoke a word of command to Kirara and they soon disappeared into the forest. Kirara walked slowly in the forest. The birds sang and it seem very peaceful in the area they where in. "Are you sure you heard right?" Kagome asked as she hopped off Kirara to walk on foot. "I did, to the east and we are in the east, imoto." Sango said as Kirara and her rode further up the trail as Kagome watched their backs, with an arrow already knotted into her bow, ready to fire if need be. "Hey Ane, am going to follow this stream and see where it leads."
"Hai, but be careful." Was Sango's reply as she and Kirara went down a hill. Kagome proceeded down the stream and looked around for any signs of a demon that may have came this way. The only things she could hear was the sound of a stream following past the rocks within it's path and the high- pitched singing of birds. Her eyes say markings of where deer had come this way and hiding places for smaller creature within the ground. She smiled to herself as she hopped across the small stream and walked up a small hill. She looked around and none of her sense's could pick up anything. "Hmm."
"If I was a hanyou where would I be?" She asked out loud to herself as she climbed up a rock area behind the stream that had ended before she even knew it. She lost her balance once or twice while making her way up the rocky path that now lead to a more in-closed area. The tree's had suddenly gotten taller around this area she had found. She had at least traveled ten miles away from the stream. She then noticed how far she was, "Oops, guess I over shot distance, again." She sighed and flopped down on a large stone and throw one leg over the other and laid her chin within the palm of her hand.
"Well, no luck here." She removed her mask for a moment and opened the water skin that hang on her hip and took a sip from it, closed it and replaced back on her hip and stood up and placed the mask over the lower part of her face once again. "I better call for Sango, see if she found anything." She said to her self and started to lower her mask again until the sound of a branch breaking caught her attention.

Inu-Yasha sat in his tree only a small distance from his den in a hillside, next to a spring. He had caught the sent of two females and a fire cat. He knew it was the hunters so he went into action, he arrived to find them gone, he sniffed the ground, one girl went with the fire-cat to the fields, where the second went towards, his den?! He blinked in surprise and quickly went after the girl that was heading unknowingly to his home. It did take long to catch up to her. She was sitting upon a stone. He jumped up into a tree above her easily without making a sound. He hunched over and watched her, to study her and see what she carried with her and if she was truly a threat to him. He watched her for many moments, he couldn't see her face, but her browns eye he could see and they where pretty.
He punched himself in the head, what was he thinking? Oy, he need to get out more often, chase a few demons, kill them, heck even pester the villagers. He watched her some more with curiosity, she carried a bow and arrows, he smirked, it wouldn't be hard to kill her. He leaned forwards laying his clawed hand on a branch; unfortunately he wasn't paying much attention to what branch he was grabbing when suddenly the branch snapped. His golden eyes went wide and as they say you know you had did something wrong right when you did it and right about now he wanted to hit the person who said that because it was so true. He fell from the tree and hit the ground, head first.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Kagome quickly turned on the ball of her heels, her bow pulled back and ready to fire, with an arrow knotted in. Inu-Yasha sat perfectly still, he watched the raven-haired girl as she walked towards were he had landed. Kagome stopped only five feet away from Inu-Yasha, who was hidden in the tall grass; many minutes past both did not move a muscle. Tension filled the air, until finally Kagome sighed and put the arrow back into her quiver. "Geez." She sighed as a strong wind blow her braided ponytail, she tucked back some of the hair that had come free from the braid behind her ear as she spoke once again in a low tone. "Baka kaze, I hate it and jumoku!" She turned sharply to leave the area only to trip over a root; she stood up fiercely and kicked the tree that owned the root that tripped her. "AAHH! It's a conspiracy against me! I know it!"
Inu-Yasha shook his head with a smirk, she doesn't like trees nor wind, then why the heck was she doing out here in his forest? He watched her for a few more moments, then he raised an eyebrow as she turned around and stomped off towards his den, he strained to her what she was mumbling but he could not catch it. Not that it mattered to him, she would be dead soon and perhaps send her head back to the village as a warning. He shrugged but he did not like the idea of her finding his den. So he stood up and extended his claws fully and jumped at her to strike her down with his Sankon Tetsusou attack. But suddenly he was knocked back with a blow to his jaw an fell to the ground, he looked up to fins the huntress standing above him. "I knew it! You where going to kill me when my back was turned!" She shouted at him and as he sprang back up on his feet and he glared at her.
"Hai, got a problem with that?" He asked as he strikes at her again, she in turn leaned back until her hands touched the ground and kicked one leg up sending him over her and into the ground once again and she completed her flip and brought forth an arrow in her hand and quickly retrieved her bow. "Yeah, its MY back, hanyou!" she said as she turned to fire her arrow but Inu-Yasha had other plans and drove his claws across her arm, cutting the black fabric that covered her arm. She felt the warmth of her blood ooze down her arm. She cringed at the pain. Inu-Yasha snickered as she let the arrow fly, the arrow had missed him by far, it shot up into the air, towards the sun, where the head of the arrow sparkled brightly in the light as it fell towards the forest tops. "Oi, you got horror able aim, girl." He laughed. "I wasn't aiming at you." She smiled as he took the hint; she was calling for the other girl. This pissed him off and he ran at her, she blinked. "Oh dear." She managed to squeak out as she barely dodged the attack that would of taken her head off her shoulders.
Kagome withdrew another arrow from her quiver and aimed it at the hanyou, she fired it as he came charging at her again, the arrow cut across his cheek and he grinned. "Thank you, human!" he growled as he placed a hand upon the cut and braked out his attack. "Hijin Ketsusou!" Kagome stunned backed up as his own blood became blades coming towards her, she took another step only to cry out in pain and fall to the ground, she had been saved by tripping over a root. "I love trees!" she yelled but now being upon her back, she glanced up to find the hanyou standing over her, his golden eyes flamed with murder. She closed her eyes and looked away as she heard a tree that had fallen to the Hijin Ketsusou. He did not strike at her so she just did what any woman would do in this position; she lifted her leg up hard and fast, kicking him where a man should not be kicked. She smiled as he backed off; she herself staggered as she quickly stood up and fell down once again, as she felt pain in her right ankle. She had praised the tree that had saved her only to cruse it for twisting her ankle. She groaned in pain as she removed a thorny vine from her thigh that had caught around her when she got up from the ground.
She stood up once again putting pressure upon her left foot. She brought an arrow to her bow again only to find her bowstring had snapped. "Norou!" She yelled out as she through down her bow in anger and with drew her knifes from their hidden spots. Inu-Yasha had recovered from his violation and he was extremely pissed now, he jumped at her once again and before she could even withdraw the knife from its hidden compartment, he was upon her, he growled as his hand stabbed through her shoulder and clawed her across her chest, causing five claw tares in her clothes and wounds upon her skin, she screamed and freed one of her hands and a knife and stabbed him in the stomach with it, she looked up into his once golden eyes, now turned demonic and a single purple strip on each side of his cheek.
His features where more defined and hair even more shaggy then before. For a moment she thought she could see a hint of fear in his eyes as he brought his bloody claw above her head, sometime her mask had been ripped off in the battle, and he stared at the girls face, until he closed his eyes and placed both bloody hands over his ears as if to rip them from his skull and then ran off into the forest as, slowly he started to regain control of himself. Kagome laid still looking for answers as she slowly fell into the state we call unconsciousness.

[Foot Notes: Okay so the battle wasn't all that great, but hey I tried! =^- ^= I really don't know how he turns into a full demon, but I know he can, so I kind of thought up a way. Getting kicked in the jewels would make anyone a little upset. (shrugs) and I hope I didn't make any spelling or usage errors -.-' again. WELL anyways please review]
