Inuyasha landed on a branch before jumping back toward the shrine. What's up with her?!

Kagome was just jumping away from the shrine wondering what the heck Inuyasha was doing. She started working on a mental link to him as she sped up, unaware of the said hanyou's change in direction.

CRASH!!!!!! was heard throughout the forest above the screams of terrified birds taking flight.

THUD Was heard not too much later as Inuyasha and Kagome's (you guessed it!) unconscious forms hit the dirt of the forest floor...

--...three hours later...--

*A cricket chirps in the distance as a gentle wind blows through the trees. Leaves are carried and rest on the swirlie eyed Kagome with a just as swirlie eyed Inuyasha next to her...*

"Uhhh" Kagome groaned as she pulled herself half-way off the ground into a sitting position. She looked around to find that it was getting dark now.

She flopped down again but didn't hit grass. One of Inuyasha's wings had been against her and it fell limply against the ground. Too bad she sat on it.....

"Aaaaahhhhhhh!" A pissed, confused, and 'in pain' Inuyasha yelled as his eyes flew open. "Damn bitch! That hurts! The wings aren't meant to bend that way!" He yelled as he ripped his wing out from underneath her making Kagome get flipped over and dirt said hello to her face.

"You're dead!" Kagome sputtered in anger as she jumped up.

I'm screwed! he yelled in his mind as Kagome brought her shield down on his head.

Shield met skull with a thud as Inuyasha was sent into the dirt. Three feet at least into the dirt actually.....

He jumped up, spread his wings, and took to the sky hoping to escape Kagome's wrath......

"TENKYOKEN!" Echoed as Inuyasha's eyes went as wide as saucers.

--twenty minutes later--

A beaten Inuyasha dodges the five hundredth energy ball sent at him. So far 173 met their mark while the others just missed by inches.

Between Burst and Tenkyoken, both had been drained of all their energy and collapsed out cold again..... (AN: ...the poor dirt... What did the ground ever do to deserve such treatment!?)

--back at the shrine--

"Wonder what Kagome and Inuyasha have been doing out there?" Miroku asked with a rather perverted expression on his face.

--in the woods (again)--

A still out cold Kagome lifted her hand up. "Mmmmmmmm.Tenkyoken.....mmmmmm. Gotcha...." She murmured, dreaming of still hitting Inuyasha with the energy.

--In the shrine--

Sango glared at Miroku and was about to hit him when a stray ball of Tenkyoken energy shot through the open shrine window.......kinda colliding with Miroku's head.... "Ouch. Guess Kagome heard that!" Kia whispered to Sango. "How do you know it was Kagome?" Sango asked her. "If it was my brother it would have been the whole Sekiha Tenkyoken. Not an energy ball..." Was Kia's reply. Sango sweat dropped. I'm surrounded by trigger happy demons. WHAT THE HELL HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO?!?!

Miroku's thoughts were running along the same lines as he looked at the ever-growing sweatdrop growing on Sango's head. Then he collapsed into the darkness of his own mind. (AN: Wonder what he's dreaming about during all those times in fan fiction that he's knocked out cold?... Never mind... I don't want to know...)

--Back in the Woods--

Kagome groaned as she pulled herself to her legs. "GAH! Did anyone get the license plate of that truck?" She moaned some more as she tried to stand up and found out that her legs were still as out cold as she was a few seconds ago. Let's just say the ground asked her why she was visiting again so soon!

She looked beside her to see Inuyasha was awake and had stabbed the tips of his wings into the dirt and was holding himself up by them. His body was hanging limp from the wings like a rag doll.

"Kami above! What the hell was that?!" He looked beside him to see Kagome on the ground. "Hey K'gome. You all right?"

"Yea. Sure. If you pass up that I feel like I got hit over the head with a cinder block!" Kagome groaned as the feeling returned to her legs. Again, she pulled herself up with a groan. "Ohh. Kami. My head hurts! ... Wait a minute. Why is my hand tingling like I just released energy. It's dark out so we've had to be out for a while. It makes no sense! When did I release energy..."

She looked at Inuyasha to see his face was paled and he looked like he'd just seen a ghost! "What's up with you?!"

"I feel very bad for someone in the shrine." Inuyasha muttered.

"What do you mean?" She asked, beginning to get a bit nervous.

"Well. There's a fairly recent energy trail heading towards the shrine. Apparently one of us shot off something in our sleep and it went towards the shrine." Inuyasha told her.

Kagome paled at the thought of Sango with a hole in her stomach because she couldn't control her energy! Oh shit!

Inuyasha was trapped thinking of who might have been hit with the energy. When a blast of energy connected, there would be like an explosion of the victim's energy outward. Who did the energy belong to. The victim's trace is weak so it wasn't a vital hit. That much he knew. Past that, well, he'd been left in the dark.

...Speaking of being left in the dark...

Inuyasha was snapped out of his thoughts as he heard Kagome run off into the woods. If I'm lucky, the kit got it!

--At the shrine--

Kagome ran up the steps and threw open the door. Running up to her room, she heard choked laughter from behind the door. She also heard the door closing as Inuyasha ran in behind her.

Kagome slowly opened the door of her room to see that Miroku as out cold on the floor with a large bump on his head. There was a trace of Tenkyoken energy around him as well as the holy energy released when the collision occurred. Ouch. Oh well. They're laughing so he probably deserved it.

Inuyasha stepped in behind her and she could practically see the smirk on his lips without even looking at him. *My, My. Inuyasha. Stop being so cruel* Kagome's voice registered in the hanyou's mind.

The smirk on his face was gone. 'Wha! How did she!? When did?! Why?! Huh?!?!?!?!? How did she know that I....Just luck. It's just luck. She knows me too well...I hope...' He added the last part silently, even in his head.

"Poor Miroku. Did I really hit him with my energy?!" Kagome inquired.

"Yep. You're a sniper all right! He'd just made a rather perverted comment and let's just say that you beat me to the punch." Sango told the girl while holding back a snicker.

Sango had been expecting some laughter or something from the girl, but none came. She looked terrified beyond, well, imagination! "Ummm. Kagome?"

"I could have killed him. I can't control my energy. I can't believe it. I'm a danger to everyone around me." Kagome murmured so low that only the youkai in the room heard.

"Kagome. When you were out cold, you can't control you're energy." "There's nothing wrong with you. Just settle down." Inuyasha and Kia both tried to snap her out of the trance.

She showed no signs of hearing at all.

Inuyasha tried a few more times until he had finally reached the limit on his short patients.

He put his mouth next to Kagome's ear giving Miroku a few more perverted thoughts until what came out of Inuyasha's mouth was the lion-like battle cry of an Inu-Youkai.

Kagome's instincts kicked in, snapping her out of the daze. Her instincts weren't content just with going defensive. Apparently, like Inuyasha, she attacked without thinking.

She didn't even know it, but when she instinctively used her energy to blow Inuyasha to bits. instincts not realizing it was Inuyasha, well, what came out was amazing. It was a power like none anyone had felt before. It could destroy him in his true form if it hit in the right place.

The beam continued on after Inuyasha ducked, continued on to blow a hole in the wall, rather, it MELTED a hole in the wall and kept on going. All in all. The house now had a new indoor window...

Kagome's instincts released her and she quickly realized what she'd done (Heh. As if one could miss a hole in the wall...).

Am I really that much of a danger to those around me?! I could have killed even Inuyasha with that blast. It was only my instincts ... if I really were to lose control ... Kagome thought, utterly shocked at the hole in the wall.

Inuyasha was in just as much shock. How did she ... wait. Why are my instincts telling me to make myself scarce as if it was faced with magic ... Holy shit! That blast was combined with purifying energy. But Miko and demon energy should negate each other ... they combined ... how did she?! Is it even possible for Miko and demon powers to coincide with each other?! There's gotta be something I'm missing. She was acting out of instinct ... her mind knows that it can do that, even if her conscious mind doesn't. If I try that, the energy beam explodes just as it leaves my hand because the two energies fight each other. But hers didn't. But she has my instincts ... damn ...

Kia was simply too shocked to even think. Something like what she just saw was unheard of. Not going to kill Inuyasha on instinct, but combining energies that should fight each other. It's possible that Kagome's like a sign that demons and miko's can live together in this world without trying to kill each other.

Kia got up and walked over to Kagome but couldn't get too close due to the Miko energy still in the air around her. The Miko energy seemed to have accepted Inuyasha though... lucky bastard! Wait a minute ... It accepts him.... OF COURSE! It makes sense now. The energy that comes out of Inuyasha and me is like a mirror of our feelings. If the user of the beam is demon and dislikes Mikos then the energies will fight each other as well. Kagome has no problem with this. To her, it doesn't matter what you are. You're still a living creature and you shouldn't hate something else unless it tried to kill you. That's why both energies work together. Neither have a problem with the other when used by a neutral person. It won't work for Inuyasha and me because we've been attacked by many a Miko in our time so we hold grudges and nervousness against Miko energy. Unintentionally, we're making the energies fight each other. It still makes no sense why Inuyasha's allowed within that energy. Probably because the energy recognizes Inuyasha as part of Kagome due to the link. He's still a lucky bastard. Kia's face lit up as the thoughts passed through her mind making the others wonder what she was thinking.

Over around an hour later, Kia had explained her theory to Kagome and the others. (AN: Sorry for skipping the conversation and all but it's midnight and I'm too damn tired to explain that whole thing again. Just read it over and imagine Kia's explaining it. I'm too tired and lazy at the moment too...zzz...ZZZ...ZZZ...KYAAA! Wake up!)

--Next Morning--

I still can't believe that I'm the only known demon alive that can use Miko powers along with youkai powers. It's mind boggling... Kagome thought as she pulled herself out of her bed. She'd been up most of the night due to the shock of Kia's little theory.

Kagome was pulling open the door when she felt a flare of energy from Inuyasha's room. It was demon energy. Then she felt another flare only much weaker, almost too weak to be sensed, but it was like her Miko power. Then she felt a huge flare of power, it was beyond incredible in the power level. Then there was a sound like a huge clap of thunder and the entire house shook down to the basement like an earthquake.

Kagome did everything in her power to stand while avoiding a roof tile that fell down. "What the...!"

She crept down the hall to Inuyasha's room; as I said, the source, and cracked open the door. There was a charred spot on the floor and things were laying all over the floor. The bed had been pushed from one end of the room to the other which surprised her since it took two moving-men to move the bed even a foot much less six yards (18 feet to those with no math skills!).

She continued to look and eventually, her eyes fell on a single white wing sticking out of the caved in closet doors which looked like a wrecking ball hit it.

Kagome walked up to the closet to find the wing was attached to a swirly- eyed Inuyasha. 'What'd he do to this place. It looks like someone blew up a pile of gunpowder in here!'

Kagome heard steps behind her and turned around to see the rest of the family in the doorway. Everyone looked horrified except Kia who had a large sweat-drop on the side of her head.

"What happened here?!" The old man yelled in outrage at the sight that greeted him. The rest of the house was in a bad condition due to things falling from the shaking. Luckily nothing valuable was broken.

"Well. Ya' know I told you all about my theory last night? Well apparently Inuyasha didn't want to believe me so he used demon, then Miko, then both. Well, both kinda neutralized each other..." Kia explained.

"Well what caused this if they negated each other?!" The old man continued.

"Let me finish! Fine. Energy is energy. There's nothing different about it. There are little details in energy that determines type. The type is basically a shell surrounding an amount of energy making it do certain things. When beams neutralize, the walls around a beam are destroyed. Well, they neutralized all right, weaker amounts of energy would just diffuse off into the air and nothing bad would happen. Inuyasha never did have a skill for pulling his punches so he didn't keep the energy down in a safe zone. There was an incredible amount of energy released when the walls around the energy dissolved each other. All that energy going everywhere so suddenly and so quickly has an incredible force, consider yourselves lucky. Americans believe that it was their atomic bomb that blew Hiroshima away. The bomb was faulty, actually. Well, the cause of the explosion was due to a Miko and a youkai fight but the Americans will never admit that it wasn't their bomb, I mean, even the Japanese humans think so. The Americans have no reason why the timing seemed off on the explosion but a Miko tried to stop the bomb, a demon tried to stop her and that was the second explosion. Thank Kami Inuyasha didn't put Miko powers into a Sekiha Tenkyoken. You'd be the victims of a mysteriously appearing nuclear bomb explosion!" Kia explained trying to ignore the gaping looks she was receiving from the others. "Hey! I didn't say anything that wasn't true. I know, I've tried it before and was out cold for a while but at least I had the sense to try it in a forest. The baka..."

"Hmmm. That boy's paying for the repairs to what was damaged." Grandpa said before walking downstairs.

"Make sure he's alright, Okay. I'm going downstairs." Asami informed them before fallowing her father downstairs with a sigh. Kami above! Raising three hanyou's can sure be a challenge...

Inuyasha snapped out of being dizzy after Kagome and Kia had gone around and put everything back together again. They were long since late for school but at the moment, this was first priority. It would be bad if Kagome's grandfather had guests while the house looked this bad. Heh. Twisted metal chains from chandeliers might be hard to explain.

"Ugh. Kami! What the hell was that. All that I remember was ... oops ..." Inuyasha murmured the last part as the memories of his experiment flooded his mind. "Oh F@#$! I should have known. I can never think straight if I go more than three days with no sleep. That's what I get for going a week ... F@#$! What a sleep induced mind can do to you!

"OOPS! You call this 'Oops?!' " Kagome screamed at him making the young man wince from the volume of her voice.

"Yeah. What do you want me to call it? Do you want me to laugh and jump for joy or something." Inuyasha retorted as he pulled himself off the ground (AN: Well, he's certainly doing that a lot lately. *Notices readers staring* OH! Never mind me! I'm a hopeless case. You don't remember this, 'kay! Good. Yeah... *I'm insane...*).

"Well a sorry would be appreciated, ya' know!" Kagome returned.

"Sheesh. Calm down, damnit! You're late for that school shit anyway." He reminded her, trying to change the subject.

"OH NO!!!! I forgot! Oh no! What will I do?! Say a demon tried to combine powers in my house and almost leveled it?! I'm dead." Kagome rambled on running out of the room leaving Inuyasha with a very big sweat- drop on his head.

"That was really weird." Inuyasha whispered as he watched Kagome zoom out of he room.

--School--

Inuyasha slammed the trunk of his car shut after Kagome pulled out her bag. Let's just say Inuyasha driving was a bit over the speed limit. Okay. A lot over it. Just be happy it was early and no cops saw him. -.-;

They ran into the school and entered the classroom after Kia and Kagome. The teacher gave them a cold glare for interrupting his class and being late. "You're late." The teacher stated the obvious.

"We had a few problems at the shrine. You know how many things can go wrong in those places." Kagome made up a useable excuse which the teacher seemed to buy.

"I'll let it slide this once. You won't be so lucky next time." He said and class continued.

At the end of class, the teacher reminded them of the project that they were supposed to be working on. To think that they'd managed to forget about it...damn so close, yet so very far away!

It was back to Biology not much later, then gym, then lunch. The schedules had been changed a bit for this quarter of the school year. Inuyasha even had a 'sword play match' as he liked to call it, later on that day. It took the place of the last two classes and any students that wanted to could pass on class to see it if they wanted to. School...free time. The choice was easy so classes were empty. The sacrifice was makeup homework the next day, so what the hell?

--The Match--

Inuyasha sat on the bench drinking a bottle of water. His team was doing well against the other school. So far he'd gotten no practice what-so- ever. Boring. Inuyasha thought, then it hit the ground in front of him. A glob of blood hit the floor.

Apparently, during a clash of 'blades', the pole had broken and the opponent was unable to stop the stab he'd started and the sharp broken part went through the boys arm. It just grazed it but it bled like hell!

The nurse was on the field immediately to treat the wounded boy. The sword wasn't embedded in the arm so that was one less thing to think about. It was enough to make things interesting though.

The nurse got the bleeding under control. It was found out that the boy wouldn't even need stitches, it was just a cut near an artery so it bled a lot.

After ten minutes, the match was underway again. It hurt the team a lot to have lost a member. One more injury and there wouldn't be enough people to make it a legal team and they'd have to forfeit the match.

The coach pointed at Inuyasha which was his signal to go up and fight it out. Joy. The guy doesn't even have any strategy. It works better just to save the strongest for last! Inuyasha thought as he jumped into the ring, 'sword' in hand.

Within minutes, the match had begun and ended. There was a small round of applause from the audience. Would there be a lot? No. It was nothing they hadn't seen before from Inuyasha's earlier form. They, being stupid humans, didn't notice the connection between the two Inuyasha's fighting styles.

The next opponent stepped forward with a smirk on his face. "Get ready to be knocked out. I'm the captain of my team so naturally, I'm the best. You don't stand a chance."

"Feh! You're damn full of yourself. It's you're downfall." Inuyasha advised sagely only to have the tip of the other man's pole at his throat. Inuyasha didn't even flinch.

"See. I was way to fast for you. You don't stand a chance!" He said again and was rewarded with a dog-like growl from Inuyasha before the pole was pushed away by Inuyasha's hand.

"Don't be so sure of yourself!" Inuyasha yelled as the referee blew the starting whistle and the match began. Inuyasha dashed at the captain of the opposing team only to have his attacks blocked.

"You don't stand a chance....half-breed!" Was whispered from the captain. "I'm a seer. I'm better than most humans and I can see through your concealing spell. Give this match up or I blow your spell away and reveal who you are."

"Like to see you try!" Inuyasha growled as the poles clashed again only to be pulled away and clashing again and again.

"Gladly!"

Inuyasha grunted under the increased force in his enemy's swing. He was backing it with amazing power for a human. A psychic's power was, unlike a demon's, invisible to the untrained eye. He couldn't use energy yet his opponent could. Things had just taken a turn for the worse for Inuyasha.

"Get it now? Just give up. You can't attack me with your full strength unless risk killing me and there are way too many humans around for you to go around revealing demons." The captain whispered so that only Inuyasha could hear. Then he charged again and the poles clashed again.

Inuyasha took a hit to the arm but managed to his enemy in the neck guard. Both were ready to inflict the move that would decide the match when the whistle marking the end of the match went off.

Inuyasha lifted his helmet off his head when the captain's blade came down at his head. The human hadn't been able to stop his swing and the pole collided with Inuyasha's skull. Luckily the swing had been slowed down in the captains attempt to stop the powerful swing so the collision wouldn't even draw blood on a human's skull. It just hurt. A lot. Even for a demon...

The referee decided that the captain was disqualified for hitting Inuyasha after the match was called.

It was marked a draw in hits. He's good, for a human. I probably shouldn't let him be disqualified from the tournament matches yet to come. If he goes then his team goes too. It didn't seem fair, even to him. HIS DEMON BLOOD ACTUALLY AGREED!!! It may be demon blood but he had a bit of honor to opponents. This man showed that he could challenge Inuyasha which was an odd thing for a human.

"No. It wasn't his fault. I removed my helmet. Swings like that are hard to stop and I'm not even hurt. There's no need to go into disqualifications." Inuyasha told the referee.

The nurse looked at Inuyasha's head. It was true, there were no problems (AN: Thanks to Inuyasha's demon side for once!). "He's fine. As he said."

"See. No problems." Inuyasha finished.

The match ended with both combatants shaking hands and returning to their seats. The match was considered a draw since the time expired. Both were still in the competition.

--Friday that week. The day the class will leave for the field trip--

Kagome ran around her room grabbing items and stuffing them into her already overstuffed pack. Dear god woman! That things gonna' break at the seams soon! That won't be pretty.

Inuyasha, being a male who couldn't care less about what he brought, just brought a pack with the bare essentials, for humans at least they were. He didn't want to look too odd. It might blow his cover. Whether or not he actually needed it.

Kia was running around doing the same thing.

Women do scare me. No question about it! The hanyou thought as he started walking towards the door of Kagome's room.

Inuyasha transformed into his true form before walking out. The winds of the energy tossing the packs the girls were packing off the bead.

"INUYASHA!!!!" Both girls yelled.

Inuyasha was suddenly very happy to have wings in his true form as he folded them in an 'X' shape in front of him and ducked behind them. Things were being thrown at him and it would definitely hurt if anything hit.

The girls finally ran out of things to throw at the young man. Inuyasha took this opportunity to get his ass out of there.

There are some fights that you fight.....then there are others that you don't! Inuyasha thought as he jumped over the railing and glided to the lower level on his wings.

He met Asami in the kitchen. "Oh there you are. What was going on up there?"

"You don't want to know." Inuyasha advised before pouring himself a cup of coffee. He hadn't had anything all day and he needed all the caffeine he could get to help him stay awake. He'd been up most of the night listening to the girls who couldn't seem to shut up (AN: I've got that problem when my sister has sleepovers. It's hell, trust me!)! So far, this makes it a total of seven hours of sleep for the entire week.

Even demons had limits on how much they could stay awake. He'd just found his and wasn't enjoying it. Especially knowing he'd have to deal with a bunch of weak humans and no coffee for the rest of the weekend. I'll be asleep sooner than those humans can say 'demon'. SHIT! Tonight's my night to become human. I have to stay awake for the transformation and somehow 'disappear' for the transformation process. (AN: In this fic, Hanyou- human transformations occur like this: All day the senses start to diminish but magic and demon powers can still be used. At around seven at night, the insides start to change excluding muscle, magic and powers can still be used. Five minutes before sunset: Transformation on inside complete, still looks the same on the outside, strength and energy levels start to lower, all magic and energy can't be used, that includes the concealing spell. Sunset: Outside body changes completing the transformation to human. human - hanyou transformation happens all at once.).

Inuyasha heard the alarm in the kitchen go off. It was set to tell them when it was time to go.

Both girls ran down the stairs, errr, jumped is closer. They were soon driving toward the school where the bus would pick them up for the trip.

--School--

"Ahhhhh! Inuyasha!!!!" Kikyo screamed as she spotted the hanyou who was back in his 'school boy disguise spell' and trying to walk behind a crowd to escape detection.

"SHIT!" Someone in the crowd yelled.

The entire crowd split apart allowing Kikyo to see a crouching Inuyasha who gulped before running.

*AHHHH!!!! HHHHEEEEEAAAALLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!* Inuyasha's voice rang through Kagome's head.

*Wha?! Inuyasha?! What's going on?!* Kagome replied.

*I'm being chased by a rabid Kikyo and request immediate.... HELP ME!* Inuyasha's voice continued in her head as Kikyo somehow managed to catch up with him and he just barely was running ahead of her.

He could smell Kikyo getting closer.... closer.... How is she doing it?! I'm demon, I can run faster than this but it's like ... a force pulling me to her ... NO! Don't tell me Kikyo's a Miko too. That's really bad. A trained Miko can use energy to suck a demon towards them for attack. It appears she doesn't notice it though ... I can't let a power like this fall into the wrong hands.

Inuyasha kept running while thinking without really paying attention to where he was running. He ran clear into the side of the school bus that was loading people.

*Never.... mind.....* Registered in Kagome's head with Inuyasha's voice as she watched Inuyasha slide to the ground before getting up and running away from Kikyo again.

Kagome watched amused as Inuyasha led Kikyo beside the school, then reappeared next to her. Even Kagome had to admit, she was impressed. Inuyasha hadn't been a blur like before. He'd gone so fast it looked like disappearing and reappearing.

*Guess Kikyo has a way of supercharging your engines, eh Inuyasha?* Kagome teased.

*Shuddup Kagome.* Was her reply and they both joined Kia on the bus.

"Students, please take your seats. We'll be leaving now." The teacher said as the bus lurched forward.

"SSSTTTOOOPPP!!!" The driver heard a yell from outside.

He stopped the bus and opened the door. A tired Kikyo climbed on and spotted Inuyasha who tried to duck behind his pack. Then she spotted Kagome next to him and Kia and another girl in the seat across from them. Damn that bitch.

Kagome sighed as Kikyo sat in the back of the bus.

(Note: the seats are with their partners. It's Inu and Kag, Kia and the girl I won't name, Miroku and Sango, and Kikyo and another girl I haven't named yet. Then you have the rest of the class.)

--Three hours later--

Inuyasha got off the bus and made a mad dash for the boy's cabin. Kikyo couldn't even keep up this time and had to give up. Hey. He'll have to come out of there sometime! Kikyo resolved as she brought her stuff into the girls cabin. Maybe I'll make Kagome's life miserable while I'm at it...

Well, that was her intent before she spotted Kagome who was choosing a bunk and another chaperone that happened to choose a spot beside Kagome. Damn! Another mind reader. Can't do anything these days... Kikyo grumbled in her head.

--Boys Cabin--

Inuyasha grabbed a bunk in the far corner of the room. He was yet to think up how he'd transform without anyone noticing that he was a silver-haired, dog-eared demon for five minutes before the transformation was complete. How to buy ten or so minutes?

*Hey. Inuyasha* Miroku's voice echoed through Inuyasha's mind (refer to earlier in the story. Miroku and Sango have the 'Mind Trick' too).

*Yea, Bouzu?* Inuyasha replied.

*HEY! I'm trying to help you ya' know. If you don't want my help then I'm sure I can be of service somewhere else.* Miroku's voice replied. Miroku's face showed surprise as well as a bit of anger, but true to his nature, it remained mostly neutral.

*Shit! Don't blow a fuse on me. Calm down. What do you want .... Bouzu ....* Inuyasha sent the last word very silently while trying to stop a snicker from going across their link.

Suddenly, a loud screeching sound echoed through Inuyasha's mind. He clutched the sides of his head in pain only to notice that he couldn't move his arms. His body was putting his stuff on the bed, except that he wasn't controlling it.

He stole a glance at Miroku to notice he was smirking and had a look of concentration, excluding the smirk.

How dare that bastard! Inuyasha thought as he pushed up his power level, making more energy in the air which stopped most of the energy coming from Miroku.

*Heh. Try that again.* Inuyasha taunted.

*It'll have to wait. While you were being controlled, the teacher came in and told us to get ready for a little hike. I don't know why but whatever.* Miroku thought to Inuyasha. *The girls group has already left.*

"Thank the gods...." Inuyasha murmured as he lay down on the bed.

*HEY! THAT MEANS WAKE UP!!!!!!* Miroku's voice echoed through the hanyou's head making him jump.

The voice was all in his head, yet his ears were pounding as if the words had been screamed.

"Shit! Oh man, my ears!" Inuyasha grumbled as he got back up and walked out the door.

Inuyasha just kept walking even though the girls group was just at the edge of the forest. The students were allowed to go where ever they wanted so long as they were back by three in the afternoon.

Inuyasha grumbled as he walked alone. He'd left the others a while back, not seeing a reason to walk so slow. He came across a lake in the middle of the forest. It was crystal clear but deep. There were shadows at the bottom but it looked like a deep swimming pool.

Inuyasha stepped into the water and just continued on as the water got over his head. It was something he liked about being demon; you could live without oxygen for around three hours before you needed to breathe again. It was even longer for water youkai.

Inuyasha was around ten feet under when he transformed to his true form. He folded his wings in front of him so that it looked like a type of cloak with the wing joints laying over his shoulders.

It felt kinda nice. The water was warm, clear, and refreshing. Just what he needed to wake up in mornings. He'd have to remember this place tomorrow morning.

Inuyasha closed his eyes and let the fiery glow of his energy surround him as he thought.

What the hell am I doing exactly? Why are things so damn complicated for me. Why am I caring about humans anyway. It's like I care suddenly. It started when I met Kikyo so long ago. She'd changed me. Humans didn't seem so bad anymore. Then she pinned me ... twice ... I'm hopeless. Yet I seem to care about Kagome as well. What am I supposed to do? I probably just feel this way about Kagome because I'm recognizing her as part of myself because of out bond. Damn. I can create dimensions and design super computers yet humans confuse me. I'm truly a hopeless case ... ... What am I going to do? hnnnnnnnnnn.........

Inuyasha continued to think like this until he heard splashing above him. He unfolded his Wings and flapped once, gently, so that he was gliding towards the surface. He was careful not to attract their attention. All he could see were feet.

For him under the surface, everything above looked blurry and unfocused. He couldn't tell who was up there, just that it was both men and women and a good number of them.

Inuyasha poked his head above the water for a second then pulled it under again. Nobody noticed him, yet. It was some of the students from their class. They were wearing swim suits and towels were on the beach bordering the lake.

He spotted one of the chaperones on the beach, acting as lifeguard for a while. Were the kids old enough, probably, but it never hurt to play it safe.

Inuyasha sighed underwater. He'd have to transform again which would form water Cyclone which would definitely NOT go unnoticed by the humans on the shore. How could you miss a tornado of light and water anyway?! He was in a situation again.

Luckily, the 'lifeguard' called everyone in and onto the beach. Inuyasha shot out of the water like he'd just seen a ghost. A few humans turned around just in time to have water come down on them. Inuyasha shot through the sky as fast as his wings could carry him. It was the fastest way to dry off. He transformed in the sky then landed in a tree where he jumped down and walked to the cabin while reactivating his concealing spell. It was 2:50 so he had ten minutes to spare.

The teacher met him on the way into the cabin. "What are you doing here, Inuyasha? I expected most students to be late, not early."

"Just walking' " Inuyasha replied as he walked into the cabin.

"I'll take your word for it." The teacher joked before continuing down the path to the lake to get the other students.

Inuyasha was just about to lay down when he felt a pang of pain in his gut. He hated this Part the most. His insides were moving around and it was only a matter of time before he fully transformed into a weak human.

Inuyasha growled as his body started to change. Did it hurt a bit? Yea. But nothing he hadn't felt before. There was a flare of his energy as his spell dropped.

Two more minutes. Inuyasha moaned inwardly as he counted in his head until he would look like anything but a hanyou.

Thirty seconds. Inuyasha continued to count. Just then the door to the cabin opened. People would flood the room he was in within a matter of seconds. It was only a matter of seconds until his transformation was complete.

He heard the footsteps gradually get closer, and then everything went quiet. Damn good time to lose my youkai hearing.

His hair was now a dark gray and getting darker fast. Even with his human ears, he could hear the humans just a few steps away from the stairs.

The last strand of his hair changed to jet-black just as the first students went by the door. Luckily, nobody saw that his eyes had changed from gold to violet.

"Joy." Inuyasha muttered before flopping down on the bed. "I hate this part of my life. At least I still have some of my magic that my mother's blood lets me use. Doesn't make it any better though..."

"Students. Please come into the dining room." One of the chaperones voices rang through the building.

Inuyasha groaned before standing up and walking out into the main room of the cabin. There was a huge meal all set out on the table. Inuyasha sighed at the sight before him. His cooking wasn't that good but this wasn't what he was counting on in a meal. Normally his dog side would be content with any type of food; well it was just his day to have is picky human blood in control.

--Fifteen minutes of waiting in line for food later--

Inuyasha walked outside and into the forest. He loved spells that could be used now during his weaker time. They were weaker and probably couldn't singe any demon, but they could, say....roast cold cut sandwiches.

Inuyasha pierced the sub-like sandwich that he'd gotten on a stick and stabbed the other end into the dirt.

He pointed his palm at the sandwich. "FLAME!" He muttered, but nothing happened. "What the?!"

Again, Inuyasha yelled: "FLAME!" And again, nothing happened; not even a spark!

"What the hell is going on?! I should be able to use minor spells like fire." Inuyasha sat down against a tree and took his sandwich off the stick and started eating.

Halfway through his sandwich, the answer hit him. SHIT! In this form, I actually have to say the spell. He looked down at his half eaten sandwich and sighed. Screw it.

--Next morning: 7:00 AM--

Inuyasha walked out of the cabin after making sure that everyone was asleep still. He felt kind of bad for one of the teachers. He'd fallen asleep in the main room while trying to make sure that mischievous students didn't cause trouble.

Heh. Some guard job. Kinda feel sorry for him though. Hill have a stiff back for weeks after that... Inuyasha thought with a rueful grin before making his towards the woods.

He was walking through the woods when he saw one of the girls from the other cabin. She looked like she was on just a walk, not a hike or anything. Damn! I was hoping for a spot to transform.

Inuyasha just hoped that the human wouldn't notice for a few minutes. He glanced up to see the first rays of the sunrise burst over the horizon. Then the problems started...

He saw the human stare in front of her as if in shock which turned to fright. He saw it later. It was a snake youkai. A really BIG snake youkai. It was black with silver stripes and the glistening white fangs didn't help. Not to mention that those fangs were dripping with blood proving that it had killed recently.

Inuyasha grinned as he transformed back into a hanyou. A night as a human was hard on the mind. Time to have a small release. But the girl had to go first. No. Her memory had to go.

The snake charged, but what surprised Inuyasha was that the girl held her ground. The snake got closer and closer but the girl just stood there. Stupid human's probably frozen with fear. Wait, I smell no fear from her. What the hell is going on?!

The snake was a few yards away when the girl was suddenly surrounded by blue fire. It was her energy. And powerful energy at that!

The energy suddenly seemed to be sucked off of her as she pointed at the charging sake. The energy smashed into the demon and exploded in a ball of light.

When the light cleared away, all that was left of the snake was a pile of ashes. He looked for the girl only to notice that she was gone. Either she got blown up or ran. Either way; that power is too strong to be left untended to. Must see what's up with her.

Inuyasha walked up to where the girl had been standing. There were no skid marks to show she had been thrown back so that ruled out being blown up. But she ran too fast to run away so easily. The he noticed something else. There were no footprints. That meant that this girl could fly or teleport herself. Either way, his job was getting more and more difficult.

He reactivated his spell and walked back to wards the cabin. Her scent trail was faint after that explosion, but it was coming from the area of the cabins.

He arrived minutes later only to see that the group had started breakfast. He snuck into the line of people to grab his cereal before walking towards the edge of the forest to eat. It was calmer in the forest.

Just before reaching the edge, he came across a familiar scent that made him jump a bit. It's that girl. She's close, but where. Go figure that there's a crowd of girls. Wait. It's familiar from somewhere. Where? YES! She goes to the school; that I'm sure of. But where have I smelt her before?

Inuyasha turned around and looked at the crowd of students and a few teachers. From somewhere in the crowned, he could feel a strong magic, probably a concealing spell. Too bad there were too many students' life force energies blocking the way to the energy source.

Inuyasha turned around and looked into the forest for a minute. When he turned around, the energy that was his prey had disappeared. "Damn." Inuyasha muttered as he stalked off into the forest.

--In another part of the woods--

A girl of around seventeen by the looks walked through the woods. She was wearing a regular school girl uniform, even though most of the other students were in anything but school uniforms.

That is, until she glowed with blue light and her form suddenly changed. Where the girl once stood, now stood a girl of, still, around seventeen years by looks, with long raven black hair that was tied in a high pony tail that still reached to her waist. She held a staff at her side that had a blue crystal on the top of it that looked like it was carved out of ice. She was wearing a black, skin-tight suit that looked like it had armor on it, except the armor, which looked like nothing more than the safety pads human parents make their young wear while roller skating or riding those other weird contraptions. Over it, she was wearing the traditional Miko robes of the old days, back when Miko and youkai fought for their lives. She was still fighting that battle that supposedly ended over three hundred years ago. The Demon Wars.

The woman walked onward. She continued to walk toward the opposite edge of the forest when she was attacked. It was a couple of bear youkai. Large, lumbering and powerful bear youkai!

They slashed at her and she just ducked the blow and disappeared from sight.

"She ran. Too bad she was so fast." One growled as he looked around for his lost dinner-to-be, or so he had hoped. Suddenly there was a huge pain in the back of his head and he fell to the ground. He got up and slashed at the shadows around him, but he met nothing but thin air.

Then the entire area flashed with blue light. He could see her now. She was crouching down with her hands together, as if praying. It looked like there was lightning coming from the staff in front of her, stabbed into the ground in an upright position. She suddenly grasped the sparking staff and many beams of blue, thunder bolt-like, energy shot out, completely incinerating the two youkai. However, unlike what energy like that should have done, the surrounding land didn't even show a mark of a battle. It was as if the beam could only hurt the demons...

--Back to Inuyasha--

Inuyasha silently walked through the woods. He had felt a flare of energy from that direction and was considering transforming and flying, but that would draw way too much attention to him. His prey would probably sense him and either run or set up an attack and ambush him. That would not be good.

The hanyou walked on until he found an area that showed no signs of a battle, except that the surrounding trees were coated in pure, Miko energy. Very powerful energy at that. He could smell traces of a human and two demons, bear by the scent. It was very fresh. The human obviously won because there were no torn limbs of a victim. But it was no ordinary human, as there were no signs of blood on the ground from any wounds on either side.

Inuyasha growled unconsciously. He could sense a powerful energy behind him. However, when he turned around, there was suddenly a splitting pain in the back of his head and the world went black.
