Love and Vengeance

Chapter #2: Kagome's Rage

Sesshomaru cautiously approached the unconscious demoness, he slowly studied her delicate features. Her hair had grown past her waist and was mingled with various violet high lights. She had also grown long powerful yet feminine claws, her face was adorned with a single tear drop on her forehead and one light volt on each of her creamy cheeks. Her ears had become slightly pointy, much like his own and her scent had changed a bit. She now smelt of sakura blossoms and summer rains, the only thing that stayed the same was the scent of purity and complete innocence.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes to revile deep pools of sapphire blue and slit pupils. The young woman pushed herself to a sitting position and examined with disbelieve her now clawed hands. Looking down at her self, she noticed her outfit had changed as well. She was now wearing a midnight blue form fitting dress. It was connected to a silver shocker and her back was bare. It also had one slit on each side of her that went up to mid thigh. Her feet were bare and she wore a silver anklet on her left ankle. Kagome suddenly frowned at the funny feeling coming from her lower half. Her eyes widened as she found the cause of her discomfort. A fluffy black tail with a violet tip was twitching behind her.

All the while all the demon lord could do was watch and suppress chuckles as he studied her reactions. Turning more, Kagome finally found the Gaze of Sesshomaru. Suddenly, something within her clicked, and she found her self glaring at him. In a blink of an eye, she jumped to a cat like combat position and growled at the demon lord. For the first time in his life, he was truly amazed. How was it possible for a mere human to turn into a demon, a very powerful demon at that.

He couldn't deny that he had wonder about her a couple of times. From the moment he saw her, he felt her power but stubbornly brushed the thought aside. He was truly taken aback when she had pulled the tezaiga (it that how you spell it?) out of its resting place, when he himself could not even touch it. After that he was overpowered with rage and attempted to kill her, only to find that she had come completely unharmed. At that moment he realized she was no ordinary human, but a demon? That was hard to believe. Looking back a Kagome, he took in the sight of her.

She was in all fours and her eyes looked angry and fierce. Her claws dug into the ground and her aura began to glow a dark purple. Sesshomaru was slightly amused by her display of.whatever she was going, that is until she spoke. "so, you rather spare my life so could watch me suffer, you really are something else"

With that, she recklessly launched herself at the expecting demon. Kagome was definitely not herself, it was as if a wild beast had taken over her being. In a blink of an eye, she had somehow manage to slash through Sesshomaru's armor, catching him completely off guard. Sesshomaru backed away a few steps before he decided to take her seriously, he had committed the big mistake of underestimating her. No one had ever managed to actually catch him off guard. Kagome prepared for her next attack as she spun on her hills. Her eyes were glowing red with hate and rage.

Though amuse, Sesshomaru couldn't deny that her words made some damage to his well hidden heart. Before he had time to think, Kagome once again launched herself at him, only this time he was more prepare. In one quick motion Sesshomaru Pinned Kagome to the nearest tree and glared at her. "what exactly are you doing, you know you can't possibly win" He said in a slow tone. Kagome gulped as she realized how close he was to her. She was trapped in a feeling of rage and fear. The fear she held for him made her even madder. But not to him, she was mad at herself for her display of weakness. Kagome closed her eyes and was suddenly surrounded by a blinding light, it quickly consumed her and Sesshomaru had no choice but to let go. Once the light faded she was no longer there.

****

Weeks had passed and still no sing of her. Sesshomaru had actually made time to spy on her group but as always, she was no where in sight. It was driving him insane, he could still remember that look in her eyes, the flames of rage they emitted and the hint of sadness they held. The memory tortured him to no end. But not only that, he also found himself exited with her display of determination and blind courage. Finally breaking out of his thoughts, he found what he was looking for. Her scent had increased with adrenalin and it was coming closer. Sesshomaru quickly jumped to the shadows of a nearby tree and did his best to conceal his aura. He watched with amused eyes as she emerged from the forest and into the clearings.

Apparently she was being chase by a demon. But no, that wasn't it, she was actually sparring with it rather than being chase by it. Once again Kagome seemed to be wildly attacking her opponent who effectively dodged every attack. He set his gaze over her sparring partner and recognized him. His eyes widened as he remember exactly who that person was. But why would he be here, and training her no less. Kagome growled in frustration as no hits landed on her opponent, after a while she gave up and laid flat on her back with her arms covering her vision. "child, why won't you listen to me, you will never win if you keep letting you rage blind you". Stated the demon known as Hatsumaru. Kagome sighed heavily before answering. "I'm sorry Haru, but I just get so frustrated, besides I can't help it it's in my blood" "ah yes, and don't I know it" replied the demon.

Kagome suddenly shot open her eyes and frowned. In less than a second she had tackled the demon lord out of his hiding place. Kagome unconsciously pounced at Sesshomaru and growled at him. Before she was able to cause more damage, she was flipped on her back and found a very amused demon lord above her. "see child, I told you, do not let rage blind you" Hatsumaru stated while approaching them. "Sesshomaru, it's been a long time, now, would you mind letting my student go" "Shut up!, I can get free on my own!" spat a very furious Kagome. "really, you seem pretty helpless from this point of view" Sesshomaru replied as he leaned into her. Kagome suddenly smirked evilly as she moved to close the gap. Before she was able to complete her task, she was hold back by a very angry Hatsumaru. "Kagome, what in the world do you think you're doing? Who knows what could happen with those cursed lips of your, for all we know, you could melt him with a single touch!" Kagome smiled as she looked up at a slightly startle Sesshomaru. "I am completely aware of this, that was my purpose" with that said, she somehow, squeezed out of his grip and took a few steps away.

She locked gaze with the demon lord and blew a kiss to him which soon melted the ground around her. "aw, and to think that could have been you" she sighed.

"young lady! You fix this right now" Kagome froze for a second at Hatsumaru's tone of voice and looked around only to find she had managed to create a crater around her. "um.ooph?, come on Haru, it wasn't really my fault now was it?" thinking quickly, Kagome began to cast a simple spell. "Hatsumaru? The demon raised his vision a glared at Kagome. "what now child?" he asked in a irritated tone. "sleep" she hissed as she touched his forehead, thus sending him into a peaceful temporary sleep. Kagome kneeled next to the sleeping demon and smirked at her work. "poor Hatsumaru, he must've been very tired.now, I believe we had a score to settle" with no warning, Kagome launched herself at Sesshomaru while extending a clawed hand towards his heart.

The demon lord moved with inhuman speed, effortlessly dodging her attack and grabbing her around her shoulders in the process. He trapped her in a very uncomfortable embrace, at least for Kagome. Her back was pressed against his chest and her arms were locked under his. "let me go!" she furiously spat while kicking her legs. "he's right, you shouldn't let rage blind you" he whispered into her slightly pointy ear. "I'm going to make you choke on those words", she warned while struggling to break free from his torturous hold. "and how exactly are you planning to do that?" he said with a smirk. His lips brushed against her ear, effectively causing her to shiver. Kagome growled as she realized how close he really was and what he was doing. By this time, her head was flaming with anger. Kagome suddenly grabbed a hold of the arms that encircled her shoulders and threw him over her head.

She was a bit startled to find that she had somehow been able to lift the very heavy demon over her back and head. Her shock faded quickly as she saw him flip through the air and gracefully land on his feet. Once again her emotions were crushing down, soon she began to feel that oh too familiar feeling of upcoming tears. Unable to hold it any longer, she dropped to her knees and began to cry tear of bitterness. "I hate you, you and that stupid hanyou" she managed to say between sobs.

What the heck was wrong with this girl? First she showed a great amount of courage and determination, and now she sat on the floor, crying her heart out and letting herself completely vulnerably to any attacks.

Once again Sesshomaru found himself hurt by her words, even though she hadn't been able to inflict any physical pain, she was doing a great job damaging his heart. (if he has one). Sighing heavily, Sesshomaru slowly approached her trembling figure and extended a hand to her chin. Before he was able to make actually contact, Kagome smacked his hand away and jumped backwards, growling at him in the process. "I don't need you pity, I'm going to make you regret not killing me, mark my words Sesshomaru, I will not rest until you and that hanyou are dead and buried!" with that, she jumped to the nearest tree and disappeared in the shadows. "so, I take it she's not fond of you Sesshomaru" turning around, the demon lord found the gaze of his old teacher who was none other than Hatsumaru himself. "tell me Hatsumaru, what are your connections with this girl?" Sesshomaru asked while adjusting his blank mask once again. Hatsumaru sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "well, it's a long story, but I will tell you how she came to be"
