{Flashback}

Kagome looked up toward the sky, frowned, and then looked through at the forest, which seemed to be getting darker instead of getting brighter. 'What?' "InuYasha, look at the forest." InuYasha stared at the forest. He frowned.

"Why's it getting darker?" he said aloud. Kagome growled softly. "Danger's approaching, and I don't like this one bit. Tell... your other friends." InuYasha nodded and told the others what Kagome had been cough, cough saying.

Kagome continued to stare into the sky, wondering how the forest could darken so suddenly when the sun was just reaching high noon. 'Something strange is going on, and I have feeling that when it DOES happen, I'm not going to like it. Not one bit.'

{End Flashback of Last Chapter}

Scroll 7: A Relative Spirit

As the group traveled, Kagome continued to fidget. 'I can't help but feel as if something VERY bad's gonna happen...' InuYasha had noticed for some time now that Kagome was continuously fidgeting. "Hey, Kagome! What's wrong?"

Kagome kept her gaze straight on the forest as she replied, "I... just have a bad feeling, and I... well, I can't seem to put down as to why..." InuYasha nodded. "I know what you mean. It's getting a little uncomfortable around here."

Sango was staring at how easily InuYasha could communicate with Kagome, and frowned. 'How does he do it? I mean, he's the only one who can understand her!! I mean, I thought even KOUGA would be able to understand her, but he doesn't at all. I wonder if Kagome will be able to speak our language...? It's worth a try. Hm... will she trust me enough to come near me?'

Miroku was staring at Sango, thinking his usual perverted thoughts. 'She is so beautiful... and her skin is looking very luscious...'

(RKY: sighs That's Miroku for ya...

Miroku: I think the same for you, too, Ru...

RKY: ...Uh... just stares at Miroku

Sess: Houshi...!!! snarls

Miroku: Um... bye!!! dashes away at top speed leaving smoke behind in his path

Sess: That MONK... growls irritatedly

RKY: Um... Arigato gozaimasu, Sesshoumaru... blushes

Sess: can see a VERY light blush on his face ...Feh...)

Kouga, riding on Battle, stared at Kagome, then as he stared at InuYasha, he glared. 'Lucky dog... ALWAYS gets the girls!!! WHY!? WHY?! Grrrrr...' he growled softly, causing Battle to look back at him.

"Something wrong?" she barked. Kouga blinked. He looked at Battle. "Uh... did you just talk to me?" Battle barked out a laugh. "I sure did." Kouga stared at the back of the half-wolf's head. "How...?"

"Simple," said Battle, interrupting him, "I'm using wolf language and not my original, complex language to talk to you. Kagome can talk Dog, Wolf, Half-Wolf (duh!), and most canine languages. She's very good at speaking most animal languages anyhow, anyways."

Sharp Fang was walking beside Battle. Now, she turned her head to look at Kouga. "I hear you are the new anointed chieftain of the Northern Providence?" Kouga nodded, slightly pale with shock.

Up front, Kagome was listening to the conversation and was now mumbling under her breath. And not even Akito could understand what she was saying; which was interesting, seeing as he was the closest to her.

'Why're Battle and Sharp Fang talking to that... to that WOLF?! Ugh... he's... ugly, as in mean, he's cruel to InuYasha, and... he's just plain SCARY!!! I hope I never have to stay near him again after this journey.'

Kouga turned to find Kagome scowling at him and he grinned. 'She just loves me...' (RKY: Ok, ok... I just wanted a small bit a humor there!!! Wah!!! Don't hurt me!!! This is not for Kouga lovers!!!) InuYasha noticed the interaction and rolled his eyes. 'Confident fellow, isn't he?' he thought to himself. He turned to Kagome and said, "Kagome, do you feel anything... dangerous?"

"Yes... It's coming," Kagome replied. InuYasha nodded, and tensed, along with the rest of the [odd] traveling group. 'I hope we're not going into trap with this weird forest going darker as the sun goes up and than lighter as the sun sets...' InuYasha thought.

Suddenly, Brokefang appeared. "Kagome!!!" he called. Kagome perked up. "Brokefang!!! You survived?!" Brokefang showed his animal-ish grin. "Yes, Kagome!! Did you think I could die so easily?"

Unfortunately for Kagome, not only did her group of half-wolf friends and InuYasha could understand Brokefang, but the others could as well. She jumped down from Akito and ran toward Brokefang, only to be held back by her shirt collar as Akito grabbed her.

Kagome frowned. "What is it, Akito-kun? What's wrong?" Akito just growled and pulled Kagome more towards him and the gang. "Kagome," InuYasha said, "I can understand him... in the human language."

Kagome stared. "Wha-WHAT?!"

A young man with long, silky silver hair and sun-golden eyes was pacing the Chamber of Visions when he noticed something odd. He turned to his two companions. "What do you think is wrong? The Chamber's mirror is turning blurry."

His companions were wolves; well, half wolf, the other part was dog. "Well..." said the first one. He was totally gray with front white tipped paws and black tipped ears. "What I think is WRONG is that part of my SOUL is STILL in the MIRROR of that ANNOYING white GIRL."

The young man sighed. "Brokefang..." The other companion of the young man spoke up. "Sesshoumaru, you do realize that if you want your brother and our Kagome to get together you might have to leave them alone and let fate take its course."

Sesshoumaru growled as his eyes narrowed. "Yes, but I want to go and KILL that annoying bastard Naraku first... his father may be dead, but HE isn't, and I want to murder that scheming..."

Brokefang yipped. "Sesshoumaru, look!!!" Sesshoumaru turned toward the Mirror of Dreams' Visions. "What the!?" The mirror was showing InuYasha, Kagome, and the rest, talking with a ghost like Brokefang.

Brokefang (the spirit with Sesshoumaru) growled. "That... That... Whatever her name is!!! She's trying to trick Kagome!!! I've... WE'VE..." "Brokefang, calm down!!!" said the other wolf, Tyaa.

Brokefang just snarled and turned his around and stalked away. Sesshoumaru was growling as well, but the only way to warn them is if they just so happened to fall asleep and he could visit one of those mortal [fools] dreams and tell them that THAT Brokefang was fake...

He growled louder, completely frustrated.

(RKY: Aw... drools Sesshy's so cute when he gets mad and frustrated...

Sess: I AM NOT!!! has this dignified look

RKY: Are too.

Sess: Are not.

RKY: Are too.

Sess: Are not.

RKY: ARE TOO!!!

Sess: ARE NOT!!!

RKY: Heeheehee... we're not dignified anymore, are we?

Sess: KUSO!!!!

RKY: Lol. Sorry for the long interruptions; I stop now.)

Tyaa shook her head. "Sesshoumaru, you DO realize that the Chamber of Warnings is something you should be walking toward?" Sesshoumaru's face held a light pink tinge... of embarrassment. "I... I knew that!!! I was just testing your... I was just testing your knowledge!!!"

Tyaa rolled her and bounded after Brokefang, who was muttering angrily under his breath. And from what she caught from what he was saying, it sounded an awful lot like: "...Naraku... Kagome!! Don't fall for that trick... InuYasha... save... GRRRRRRR!!!"

Tyaa couldn't hear all of it, but it was something, she reasoned. 'Oh well,' she thought, getting comfortable at his side, 'at least he's being a good... "father", I guess...' Brokefang suddenly stopped ranting and blinked as he said aloud, "Uh oh..."

Tyaa looked up. "What is it, Brokefang?" Brokefang ran to the Chamber of Visions. "No!!! Kagome, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He howled his anger and frustration out, along with a tinge of sadness. "Brokefang!?" Tyaa asked, panicked.

Sesshoumaru came bounding in, and looked at the Mirror of Dreams' Visions. He gasped slightly, then growled. "Naraku..." he said quietly, fighting to remain calm. Looking at his friends, he said, "I already sent a message to Kagome; I just hope she'll understand."

Tyaa nodded. 'You had better hope, Sesshoumaru... We don't have all that much time...'

A/N Time!!!

RKY: Uh oh!!! What's gonna happen?! What HAS happened!? Stay tuned to find out in Chapter 8... And thanks so much for the reviews!!!

Sess: Ru apologizes for the short chapter. She loves cliffies as long as SHE'S the one doing them. UU!

RKY: pouts You're so mean, sometimes, Sesshy!!!

Sess: Mean SOMETIMES?! What's THAT supposed to mean?!

RKY: Uh... nothing, nothing, nothing at all... Oh ya:

inuyashafreak337 – I'm sorry you had viruses!!! Since I have AOL, I don't think I get those annoying viruses that seem to be going around and destroying everyone's computer... Heeheehee; go ahead and read till I update yet again!!! And yeah, aren't you happy that Brokefang and Sesshoumaru are gonna be around now/still? Lol. Yes!!! Those are the books; the ones called "Through Wolf's Eyes", "Wolf's Head, Wolf's Heart" and "The Dragon of Despair" by Jane Lindskold. The series is a very good series; please, do read!!! I'm not sure about your "strange coincident" but if you really think about it, it IS scary!!! shifty eyes Thanks for reviewing!!

Haru-Kohana – Yes, Brokefang's still gonna be a big part of the story... but I'm thinking only for the beginning of the story; if not, he'll be in the story for a while yet. And yeah, I thought it was cool to search for something new; besides, the Shikon jewel is imbedded in Kagome's Hoshiha, the Starblade. Oh, and... Well, I know I should send you a review, but... well, I just wanted to say that I've been reading your story called 'Kagome's Sight'!! It's SOOOOO good!!! Next time you update, I'll give a review, ne? Heeheehee. Thanks for the compliments!!!

inuyashas girl–Thanks so much!!! And thanks for complimenting me on my writing skills; no one ever says I'm a good writer...T.T Anyways, I'm glad you like it!!!

kay – I have the book called Trickster's Choice; it's an awesome book!!! My favorite series from Tamora Pierce, however, is the Immortals series. You like how I interrupt the story? Cool . To answer your question about Kikyo, unfortunately, yes. I'm a Kikyo hater, you see, but I need her. NO FAIR!!! You got all of Tamora Pierce's books!!! I've read all of 'em. And thank YOU for reviewing!!! But, there is this one particular reviewer I didn't like; he/she didn't tell me why they hated me and why he/she said I stole from their story. It's really upsetting when you don't know what the reviewer means sometimes T.T.

Dragon Man 180 – To answer your 1st question, I'm not sure about Shippo, because if I added the little fella then I'd have to rearrange the story to where I think Shippo might fit in. I could use some ideas, though. For your 2nd question, yes, eventually Kagome will learn to speak 'human'. Thanks so much!!! You've been a huge help with my story!!! And I want to thank you especially for all that you've done, even if you were only reviewing.

Preview of Chapter 8: Frostfur's Coming:

"Frostfur," said Naraku. A completely white half-wolf came to his side. "Yes, milord?" she said in a monotone voice. Her eyes were dull; blank. These were the signs of a person being under the control of a seemingly more powerful person.

"I want you to go out and kill the one they call 'Kagome'," Naraku finished. Frostfur's eyes turned back to their normal color for a split second from the name of Kagome. Then they turned blank once more.

"Yes, milord. I will go kill the one they call... Kagome," she said, and faded into the darkness of the room as she headed out on her mission. 'Heheh... Even INUYASHA himself will not be able to protect Kagome from one of her pack... that is still alive!!! Kukukukukukuku!!!'

RKY: Till next time!!! BYE!!!

Sess: Sayonara!!! R & R!!!
