lawyers, didja? ~Stuffs Inu and Fluffy back in his closet ~ Anyway, here's

Chapter 4: Face-off!
Kagome walked through the woods of present-day Japan. "Joujin! Ayumi! Where are you? The Ichigamis won't be happy!" The Ichigamis were the owners of the orphanage that Joujin and Ayumi lived at.
Kagome was a part-time worker there, and had never run into these particular two before. She stumbled onto the clearing where the duo had made camp the day before, but there was no sign that anyone had been there recently.
Embers still glowed dimly in the fire, and supplies had been scattered everywhere, presumably by some wild animal.
She glanced cautiously into the tent, finding nothing but the canteen of spring water. She picked it up and sniffed at it. 'Odd,' She thought. 'Smells like jasmine.' She took a sip, savoring the wonderfully delicate flavor of the water. Suddenly, THOOM! A bright flash of light, and she had disappeared, the dropped canteen spilling its contents slowly out onto the floor.
Aya paced worriedly, in a grassy clearing just outside the village. "You mean to say that Kagome's been gone for three days?" Kaede nodded grimly. "Aye, child. 'Tis not like her to be gone for so long."
Inuyasha grinned. "Probably taking one of her stupid 'tests'. Feh, at least the idiot baka isn't 'osuwari'-ing me every other sentence that comes out of my mouth..."
Aya reached to touch the rosary. Inuyasha flinched backwards, but wasn't fast enough, falling flat on his backside. As soon as her finger made contact with one of the beads, the string holding it together was wrapped with a green fire, burning it away and scattering beads everywhere.
Kaede groaned. "Agh, child. Your powers are manifesting themselves. You have control over the past, able to eradicate, alter, or create things that have been. By doing so, you might alter the timeline drastically, so be wary. Lord Sesshoumaru will be a formidable foe, however, because thine friend has control over things yet to come.
ya gaped. "Control over things past? Then there's something that must be done." She focused for about ten minutes, humming to herself as she held cupped hands outstretched. In a brief flash of green light, the completed Shikon no Tama was in her grasp. She grinned and flipped the jewel to Inuyasha. Kaede blew up. "What are ye doing?!" Inuyasha merely snickered and caught the orb. As soon as it hit his hand, it flared and became a cold, hard sphere of granite, nothing more.
He growled deep in his throat. "What the hell was that supposed to be?" Aya glanced to Kaede. "You said things past, right? And the Shikon no Tama was shattered in the past, right?"
Kaede nodded. "Aye, but you couldn't complete it because that would create far too much turmoil in the time stream."
Suddenly an arrow embedded itself in the tree a fraction from Inuyasha's head. He flinched, glaring up at his assailant. "Kikyou!" The undead miko stood tall, another arrow strung. "Die with me now, Inuyasha, I can wait no longer!"
Inuyasha merely glared. "No! You're not the Kikyou I knew fifty years ago! All you are is clay, bones, and hate! YOU die!" He leapt for her, claws outstretched. She merely raised a hand and an invisible wall of force slammed into Inuyasha, knocking the wind from him and pressing him hard against the base of the hill.
Kikyou raised her bow. "I will not miss this time." She struck, straight and true. Oddly enough, the arrow seemed to strike a small pinpoint of fire on Inuyasha's chest. It was tiny, but the most intense Kikyou had ever seen, eating clean through the thin wooden shaft.
Aya glared, banishing her pinpoint. "Don't touch him!" Kikyou glared. "You're his new love, eh? Die, all of you!" She summoned her entire plethora of soulcatchers, which swarmed and charged the trio.
Before they even got close, Kikyou vanished in a flash of violet light, a look of surprise etched on her face.
