Sorry it took me a while for my second update, but I wanted to get down the basics of my ring first. And go through a few events to determine what would happen during them in my mind. And I didn't realize that some stories are better written in past tense other than present tense. I'm going to try it out this chapter.

And I realized I forgot about Shippo in the last chapter. Kirara's with Sango, and Shippo will come in the third chapter.

Disclaimer – I own the ring and the plot. Well, I wish I owned the ring in reality.

Part 2 – The Ring's Flukes.

Miroku agreed, "Ok, I'll give it a shot."

With that, he put on the ring... and nothing noticeable happened.

"Now what?"

"In this I have no guidance available to you, you must learn it on your own." Kaede responded.

"Real useful..." And Miroku promptly started to run to a tree and back. When he got back he noticed that Kagome and Kaede were staring at him in amazement. Wondering about this development he asked, "What did I do?"

"Just ran like a Youkai to that tree and back, nothing big for a human." stated Kagome.

"You want to try out the ring Kagome?"

"Sure." Kagome placed her hand out, and received the ring from Miroku. She promptly placed it on and ran to the tree and back like Miroku. Before she made it back though Sesshomaru decides to show up.

"And how is a human able to run faster than youkai? Especially Me?" Sesshomaru questioned Kagome when she was near the others.

"Sesshomaru, why bother with these peons?" Jaken questioned his master.

"Yeah, why do you want to know anyway? You already got Sango, why bother us for more?"

"Wench, do not disrespect my mate. Though many bakas may believe demons take mates as possessions, in reality we take mates very seriously. And we take insults to our mate very personally. Now die."

"EEEP, Sesshomaru, wait a minute!" She jumped out of the way and saw Sesshomaru drastically slow down. Following this strange occurrence up, she ran behind Sesshomaru and punched his back.

"Sesshomaru! Enough of this. Kagome and I were once great friends, and someday I would like to renew that friendship. Don't kill her."

Sesshomaru backed off, but still kept his wits about him. He felt disoriented from that girl's hit. It was by no means even close to what a normal human should be able to do. "Kagome then. I will step down this time, if you will tell me what granted you these powers."

Kaede interrupted at this point. "Sesshomaru, the ring is called the Doubledemon ring. Unless your library has been altered greatly, you'll find information on it on the third shelf down, back row of the third floor. Near the center."

Sesshomaru responded "And how would you know of these tomes of knowledge?"

"I was an old librarian. Kikyou never liked me going there much, I'm afraid."

"I'll look into the ring, and your history. Come, Sango."

"Wait!" Miroku interrupted their departure, "Sango, can you tell me why you went to be Sesshomaru's mate?"

"Maybe someday houshi. Maybe someday."

After that outburst, they rapidly left. Kagome, out of her high-speed rush, started to walk over to Miroku, and then fainted.

(Kagome's POV)

'Why is everything so fuzzy... is that Miroku?"

"Kagome, are you finally awake?"

'What does he mean Finally? How long have I been asleep?' "What happened to me?"

"As far as Kaede can tell, we both exhausted our muscles doing our little speed tricks, and the ring doesn't seem to buffer us from the effects of running so fast. Or increase our recovery speed for that matter. In my case, I didn't attempt to beat Sesshomaru to the ground, so my recovery was in about an hour of relaxing. I'm not sure, but I believe we may be able to eventually train our bodies to take the stress of these Youkai powers, and not have to be defenseless for any period of time."

"I'm still sore. And I'm hungry. Where's my backpack?"

"What do you need from it Kagome?"

"I will find it myself, don't worry." She dug through it for about 10 seconds, and finds a bar of chocolate and a bunch of ramen. "Miroku, can you cook?"

"Just simple recipes, I think I can make ramen."

"Ok, here!" And she tossed Miroku the bag with ramen on top.

Well, I thank everyone for there reviews, and hope to get another set of reviews. Sorry that it seems 'Weird' Corisu, but hey, I'm weird too. And, I wrote more than I did last chapter. I think I need a beta reader. Anyway, I'm having fun writing the story, and I have a paper in my wallet with all the ring's guidelines. I am having one fun time trying not to break any of the guidelines of the ring. Later.
