^_^! Thank you all for kind reviews! I really appreciate it! At the request of one of my reviewers (Mattie lover) I will try to make this chapter longer, and try to update sooner. I will probably not update on Friday b/c I am going to an amusement park! Yeah!!!!! This will be very long chapter, and you will probably be thoroughly confused by the end of it, but no worries I have explanations at the bottom, if you are confused.

Ch.7~In between chapter.

Tatsuya Soryo brushed himself off. Only minutes ago a powerful force had struck him down. The old man picked up his sack of flowers and continued his journey home.

Once in side the house he rushed to his kitchen, and ran to a very old cauldron. There was a liquid bubbling inside. He opened his sack, and picked out some of the wild flowers, and threw them into the pot. The bubbling instantly stopped and a fuzzy picture appeared, of two figures. Tatsuya's tired eyes couldn't make out there gender, and threw more flowers into the water. The people became so clear that he could see the expressions on their faces. One was a handsome half demon, with white hair, and he was scowling. The other was a girl that he knew very well. Kikyo.

The old man looked hard at the girl, and shook his head, that wasn't Kikyo. Then the man smiled, remembering the stories he had heard about Kikyo's reincarnation. Finally, Kagome has come into her powers.

Tatsuya looked at the demon, and saw why he looked so familiar. That was Kikyo's old flame. Didn't she bind him to a tree a few years back? Oh, who cares about fifty years ago? Now was the time to celebrate, he finally had something to do! The old man did a sort of happy jig all around the kitchen that is until he slipped, and fell into the pot of water.

"So, the girl is a priestess. She could be very useful to me." Said a menacing voice. "I must have her, but I can't take her myself. That arrogant half-breed won't let her out of his sight. Also, I need to see how powerful she really is before I waste my time."

A tall salamander youkai burst into a tavern in Fuyumi. He slid over to table full of other demons. They all grunted at the sleazy demon. "Have you heard that Naraku is offering a reward for catching a miko for him? He says whoever brings her to him, will be handsomely rewarded." The bar instantly fell silent, and all eyes were on him.

"Tell us more." A large demon with red eyes, and blue fur, covering his body. He grabbed the lizard by the neck. The salamander slithered out of his grasp, and continued his story.

"Her name is Kagome. She is the protector of the shikon jewel, and has destroyed the red fire fox twins, and Kane, the lord of the southern forest. Also, she travels with a half demon, that is very protective of her."

The blue demon laughed. "I could kill that halfling in my sleep. I will take the job of capturing the girl." He spoke so boldly, that no other youkai, bothered to question him.

"I wouldn't misjudge the hanyou. He may only be part demon, but his powers outweigh most full demons. His tactics are unorthodox, and often take his opponent by surprise. His determination to guard the miko, has no bounds, I believe he would most likely kill you if you dared to steal the girl away from him. Not to mention the girl holds great power herself. If he did not finish you off, she would. I think it would be wise for you not to fight them." A she-demon came out of the shadows of the tavern. Half of her head was covered in a steel mask that was nailed to her skull. Green hair sprouted out of an opening in the top of the mask. There were slits in the steel that revealed her eyes. They were completely blue; you could see no white or pupil, just blue slits.

The bold demon shuddered at her appearance, but quickly recovered. "How are you, and where do you get off telling me what I can and can't do? That hanyou won't stand a chance against the all- powerful Masao!" The girl snorted in response, causing the rest of the bar to laugh as well. Masao's pride getting the best of him, he lashed out at her, but she easily dodged his attack, and was on Masao before anyone could blink.

"I do not think it would be wise for you to take on this fight." Her voice was deadly calm, and her eyes started to glow. She smiled evilly, showing her rotten teeth. Masao punched her again. The masked fighter easily dodged it, and stuck her sharp talons in his neck. He instantly began to shake and shiver, and his body turned ice. The girl kicked his frozen shape, and the demons shattered into millions of pieces.

"Any more takers?" All the other demons shook their heads. She smiled, causing the others to reel back. "Good." She walked out of the bar, and headed toward the scent of the white haired demon.

I am soooooooo sorry! This worst chapter in the story (and not very long, much to my dismay.)! Have you ever had an idea of where you want to go with a story, but not know how to get there? That's me. I know where I want this story to go, but there was a small gape in the story that had to be filled. If I jumped right into the part of the story that I want to be in, then the story wouldn't make sense! I have to put in a few in between chapters, to make the story fit. I promise that the story will get better, after I'm done adding new characters, revealing the plot, and stuff. Think of this chapter as not really a chapter, but more of a plot revealer or something.

Explanations: Tatsuya- is a miko trainer. He teaches them to use their powers properly. He gets a warning that a new miko has come into her powers, when a strong sensation goes through his body. He has an old pot that tells him where his current miko is, what she looks like, how powerful she is, blah blah blah, you get the point. In my story miko's are very rare, and so he gets very excited when a new comes into the picture. Hint-the happy dance. Incase you're wondering Tatsuya is a weird guy, and he's not wrapped very tight.

Naraku- you'll just have to find out. I think you guess what he wants.

Fuyumi- I got the name from a manga I read (mars-u should read it) it's the creator's name. Fuyumi Soryo. I don't know what it means, I can guess it doesn't mean demon city, though! I liked the name, so in my story it stands for city of demons. This is a large city of demons. It is a very dangerous place, for anyone who isn't a youkai.
