The Encounter With Mistress Kagome





"Kou- Kouga? Wh-what sh-should w-we d-d-do?" asked one of the men trembling in fear.

"Why are you scared? You were trained by our master." replied Kouga trying to sound

brave.

"Hand over the chest, and I might spare you." stated the lizard youkai leader, who had dry,

green, scaly skin, and a horrible odor.

"If you hand it over to him, I will make sure you die a most painful death." said the bear

youkai leader, who was covered in brown fur with midnight black eyes.

"You'll hand it to me, because if you don't, I will do something that is worse then death."

said the last youkai leader, which was an eagle. He had sharp claws, and deep red eyes.

"Kouga, maybe we should just leave the chest and run." suggested a man.

"No, or Master will think I am incapable of such a small task." replied Kouga, while he was

considering running if things really turned ugly.

"Kouga's right, we have to deliver this chest like what Master said, even if we die trying. We

can't have it fall into the hands of thieves." added Miroku, trying to act brave to impress Kouga

and the men.

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

"Sesshoumaru." called Inutaisho, with a small smile.

"Yes Master?" asked Sesshoumaru, curious as to why he was summoned.

"I want you to go find information on the emperor. Then you will report back to me on how

the emperor is doing and if he is still able to protect his people."

"Yes, when should I leave?"

"As soon as possible, I am counting on you. You are the best disciple I have out of the

rest."

"What about Kouga and Miroku?"

"Kouga is to prideful and loves to receive credit for everything. Miroku is easily persuaded

and tricked. So don't let me down."

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

"Are you going to hand it over or not." yelled the leader of the lizards angrily, while stomping

his foot impatiently.

Before any of them could speak, they caught the scent of fresh sakura blossoms and jasmine.

Then out of the air landed Kagome in front of the lizard youkai with her back facing him.

Kagome had a slight smile on her face as she said asked, "Why are all of you on my land?"

"This is your land?" asked the bear youkai. "We'll leave as soon as he hands over the

chest, and maybe I'll allow you to come with me and be one of my concubines."

"Sure, when hell freezes over, I will become your concubine, but they will not be handing

the chest to any of you." stated Kagome just as calm as before.

"Boss, lets get out of here." said the advisors of the three packs, before the leaders could say

anything else.

"Why," asked the leaders. "I am not running from a girl! No matter how beautiful she is."

"I have learned about her, she is the deadly demoness who gets everything her way, if she

doesn't, she'll kill you. She is capable of killing someone in less then a blink of an eye."

"What's her name?"

" Kagome, Mistress Kagome. The most beautiful demoness in the whole land."

"WHAT! Did you say 'Mistress Kagome?'"

"Yeah boss."

"Why is she here? You could have told me earlier! Retreat! We will not give up on that

chest!" called the three as their voices got farther and farther away.

"Thank you," said Kouga sighing with relief.



"Don't thank me this early, because I want that chest too."

"What!" said all of them as they got back into defensive position.

"Don't worry, I'll be back later for it, but now I have something better to do. So until

then, I wish you luck." said Kagome faking concern. "Just to let you know, you are trespassing

on my land. I will be back sooner then you think, to claim what is mine and punish you for

trespassing."

As soon as she finished, she left before any of them could say a letter. Kagome's scent is

the only evidence that she was ever there.

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

Kouga and the group stopped at a small village and decided to spend the night there. Just as

they were tying down the horses, the pack leaders were back again, but this time with three times

as many men as before. "This time no one is going to be able to rescue you!" exclaimed the

happy eagle leader. "We are out of Mistress Kagome's land!"

"Even without her, you will not be able to steal this chest." said Kouga while trying to

come up with a plan.

The three leaders called out, "Charge," and were going to attack when a light blue cloth that

was close to transparent crashed into the earth creating a large crater. The cloth seemed to extend

from the heaven to the earth. Then out of the dark night, came running hundreds of female

warriors.

The two in the front were the generals, followed by four columns of warriors. The two

columns outside were holding lanterns to light the way, while the middle two were handling

beautiful, polished swords that glowed in the dark, cold night. Then they began to split up around

the cloth so that there is two columns on each side. Then they all knelt down, with their heads

bowed.

The leaders were amazed, never in their life had they seen any army as graceful and

beautiful as this one. Then, Kagome with her arms extended and hair flaring out behind her

slid down the cloth and landed in front of all four leaders.

"I will be taking the chest from here now." calmly stated Kagome, "I will not hesitate to

kill you if you don't."

"Don't think I don't hurt females, pretty." said the lizard youkai as he walked up to

Kagome and pointed the sword at her. Kagome did not even flinch. All of a sudden, Kagome

spun around and grabbed the sword her general was holding and unsheathed it in less then a

second and knocked the sword from the lizard. Then she started slashing with her sword,

no one could see what she was slashing at until she stopped and there was deep scars on the

lizard leader's face. He howled in pain and retreated immediately.

The leaders left were scared witless, she was so fast they only saw a blur, then the demon's

face was close to shredded. "You can keep the chest." said the remaining thieves as they

retreated.

Kagome turned toward Kouga and said, "Either hand over the chest, or end up like him."

Kouga reluctantly handed it over and scrambled away calling over his shoulder, "I will

not forget this humiliation, one day you will pay."

Sesshoumaru had overhead some villagers talking as he ordered his dinner at a small

restaurant built from straws and mud , "The emperor has been in bed for months now. I hope he

gets well soon."

"Get well, get well from what? I heard he has a new concubine and is spending all his time

with her. He isn't sick or anything like that. If you ask me, he should just retire and let his son

take over." said another.

Sesshoumaru registered all this in his mind and continued to eat his dinner.

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

Kagome opened the chest and looked inside. It was full of gold and silver. "This isn't

what you were looking for was it, Kagome?" asked Inuyasha her old friend that had just arrived.

Kagome turned around and greeted him, "No, but I will continue looking, I will find it.

Oh Inuyasha, before I forget..."

"Yeah Kagome, what is it you want to say."

"Well, I heard you had a fiancee, and that she is really beautiful."

"I, um, well, sort of." stuttered Inuyasha, a blush creeping up his face.

"Don't be embarrassed in front of me Inuyasha, after all, my master and your father were

really good friends. Not mention the fact we have been friends for more then half out life."

"Well, you see."

"No, I don't see."

"I haven't even met her yet. Though, I am sure her beauty will never be able to compare to

you."

"Inuyasha, don't embarrass me. I'm not that beautiful at all. Why don't we go back to my

fortress and have some dinner, okay."

"Sure, but I am positive you are the most beautiful demoness on this earth."

"We are returning back to our fort, Inuyasha will be joining us for dinner." Kagome called to

her troops, ignoring Inuyasha's last comment. Then they started walking back, the warriors

following behind their leader, who is merciless in battle, but really kind when she is not, as long

as she isn't pissed off and people aren't against her, they will stay in one piece.

The villagers slowly crept out of their hiding places and looked at the mess and blood,

slowly they began the long process of repairing their beloved village, ruined in one night. This

incident will be passed down from generation to generation, and nobody will ever forget what

happened that night. The scary thieves and the beautiful and graceful female warriors with their

powerful goddess-like leader.

The village had also learned a good lesson, never let groups of youkai's carrying weapons stay

for the night. It will cause great grief.

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

Next time: Kagome continues to search and the thief leaders hires an assassin to kill her. Who

will save her when she is caught? Well, it definitely isn't going to be Inuyasha, since he is on a

trip. Then who? (Isn't that obvious? Sesshoumaru duh!)
