Kagome/Kurama ********** So far Kagome/Kurama is winning by one, so any of you Hiei/Kagome fans who haven't already voted had better do so or it'll end up being Kagome/Kurama!
Chapter 4: You can protect your son
Kagome turned, her spine stiff.
"They're here."
"Kaa-san?" Shippo asked sounding confused. Kagome gripped his hand tightly.
"Shippo, stay behind me. Whatever happens, don't let yourself get caught."
"Kaa-san, what's going on?" Kagome's face softened slightly as she looked down at her son, sensing his worry.
"You remember when we were fighting demons right baby?"
"Hai."
"Well, this is just like that."
"But I thought there weren't any demons in this time?"
"So did I.Come on baby, we need to try to get to a more public place. I'm going to carry you."
Kagome swept her son up into her arms and began to run, but didn't get far before a black blur appeared in front of her and she had to skid to a stop. Without hesitation, she changed directions, only to be headed off by the hanyou she sensed earlier.
Finally, she stopped running.
"Who are you and what do you want with us?" She growled, brining her miko power to the surface.
"Forgive us, lady. We were sent to find the source of the power our boss sent. I am Kurama, this is Hiei, then Yurameshi Yusuke, and Kwabara Kazuma."
"I don't like demons and strange humans following me. Get out of my way."
"Lady, you don't understand, we would ask that you accompany us to meet with our boss, your power is unlike any we have ever seen."
"I refuse. Move it."
"I cannot."
"So be it." Kagome raised her hand and sent a bolt of purifying energy at him. It only just barely hit him, but he went down, screaming in pain. The bolt hadn't been enough to kill him, or at least kill his demon half, but it was enough to cause him a suitable amount of pain as a warning.
"What did you do to him?" Yusuke demanded as he readied himself of a fight.
"I began to purify him. Do not take lightly, you too have some demon in you, and I can use my energy to purify you as well. And you!" She turned to the human boy, Kwabara, and spoke to him.
"I have other energy attacks as well, do not think that because you are not demon I could not defeat you as well."
Kagome set Shippo on the ground.
"Shippo, would you please weigh them down with on of your seals?"
(A/n: you know, the ones he uses to pin down Inuyasha? The ones on the rocks?)
"Hai!" Shippo concentrated briefly and then tossed a stone at the prostrate Kurama, still trying to catch his breath from the brief period of being purified. The boy started in surprise, recognizing Kitsune magic and now unable to stand.
Yusuke drove at Kagome, who, quicker then the human could see, twisted her hands and was now holding a glowing blue spirit bow.
Kagome's POV
I saw the black haired boy, Yusuke coming toward me and felt his strange power again. Then, I realized that I held that same power inside myself, in addition to my Miko powers. I pulled the power into my hands and found a glowing bow made purely of energy. Smiling, I realized I knew how to use it.
End POV
Kagome drew her finger back with the string, like it was the arrow, and called out, "Spirit Arrow!" As she let the string go, a blast of energy left her finger and hit Yusuke, throwing him back several feet where he landed, unconscious.
Kagome stepped forward, trying to sense the other human boy, unable to see him. To her surprise, he was diagonally behind her. She spun around, to face him only spin again when a shout caught her hearing.
"Rose Whip!" Kagome had enough time to catch sight of a whip made of some time of plant, presumably a rose, before the tip cut into her arm and left a deep gash from her elbow to her arrow wound, which began to bleed furiously, the healing skin ripped off by the whip.
"Hey! Who's the shrimp? Your brother?"
Kagome spun around in horror, seeing the ugly orange haired boy holding her son by the ankle.
"You moron! Put down the boy!" Kurama shouted, "He is not involved in this!"
"Don't worry so much Kurama, it's just a kid." He wasn't paying any attention to Kagome, who are afraid for her son and getting increasingly angry that anyone would dare to touch her son. She advanced on Kwabara.
"Put." Her power aura rose and became visible in its fury, black and red flames wiping in a wind that was of another world, her hair crackling with energy.
"My." She grew several inches; her hair gained auburn streaks and grew to touch the backs of her heels.
"Son." She grew claws from her fingers nails and a black gash ran down each of her checks and a red sun with a crown shone on her forehead. Kwabara looked very afraid.
"Down!" As she hissed the last words, her fangs became prominent. She leapt at Kwabara and the man dropped the child he was holding and tried to run. Kagome scooped her son off the ground and sent an energy attack at Kwabara.
"Fire of the Sundance Fox!" Red and black flames rose out of the ground and surrounded Kwabara, each flame sending a horrible pain across Kwabara's body and before long the boy was unconscious.
Once Kwabara was down, Kagome turned to the two demons.
"Do you try to fight as well?"
"No my lady, I would not." Hiei bowed deeply, surprising Kurama.
"And you fox?"
"I surrender to your power, lady."
"Never bother me again!"
Kagome seemed to disappear as she ran towards away from the park and toward her home. However, she only managed to get halfway there before feeling to faint from blood loss to continue.
"Baby," She said, putting Shippo down.
"I need you to be very brave for me."
"You can count on me Kaa-san!" Shippo said, puffing out his chest.
"Good, I need you to go home as fast as you can and get Oba-san. Do you remember the way?"
"Hai! I can do it!"
"Don't let anybody see you, ok, Shippo?"
"I won't Kaa-san!"
"Quickly now, go! I love you baby."
"I love you too Kaa-san. I'll get Oba-san quick!"
Shippo took off down the street keeping to the shadows.
Kagome watched her son until he faded from sight and then collapsed onto the ground, her wounds bleeding profusely. As she felt her consciousness fading from her, Kagome felt another presence in the alley she was hiding in.
"Lady Death, turn away. It is not my time yet."
"I know my queen, but I must fulfill the duty you set out for me, centauries ago."
The woman came up to Kagome and as she set her hands on her forehead, Kagome lost consciousness.
TO BE CONTINUED.
Author's Note: Well, I know that was short, but it seemed to be too good a place to end. Yup. Ok, I know that Kagome is getting really powerful really quickly, but there is a reason, which will be explained in the next chapter. Hopefully, it will be a lot longer. Hope you liked the new chapter! Tell me what you think.
Thanks to: Kurama's Miko, Kimber, Inu-baby, Dark Topaz, anzfangurl16 |Kasamaru- Hm, good point. Let's say it's her mom's money and thought| |they aren't rich, they are middle class so they could afford to get | |the stuff for Shippo, which would have cost around $300, which is | |the amount that people generally spend on new babies so, yeah. | |That's the way it is. | |Capn-BlackRose: Thanks, glad you like it so much. I'll put down your| |vote, I haven't finished the poll yet. Hope you liked this chapter | |as well. | |Mystic Rain- Sorry, another cliffy, kinda. I'll put down your vote, | |but I can't promise you anything. Hope you liked the chapter. | |Ashleigh- Glad you like it, Thanks! I'll put down your vote. | |Sunstar-1217- Yup, they are the spirit detectives, as proved in this| |chapter. Glad you like the story, hope you liked the new chapter as | |well. | |DemonLady1- I'll put down your vote, glad you like the story. | |K- Hope you liked the fight. Kagome's part in the prophecy is the | |Queen. It really isn't any secret. The prophecy is in the next | |chapter. Yes, Shippo does have his Kitsune powers. | |Inu Youkai-Hime- Ok, I'll check out your version on MediaMiners | |then. Glad you liked the last chapter, hope you like this one as | |well. |
