Inutaishou's Gift By: OtakuSailorV
Chapter 8: The Gift Part 1
Kagome wiped the blood on her hands onto her dress. But that was the only movement she made. Her heart still hurt, she wanted to strangle Jaken.
The said imp looked toward her, and smirked to himself. Kagome made a face and groped for a stone by her side. But there were none in the hollow opening. She made a face, and glared at Jaken until he grew nervous and turned back away.
He shuddered and every once in a while, looked back at the miko girl whose aura radiated violently.
He did not like this idea. If they had had to come here, why did they have to bring the miko mortal that that hanyou brat kept with him? He could have easily used any OTHER mortal for this. Like maybe that Rin girl that waited among the rocks below them. . .he scratched his chin while his Lord investigated the place where the 'Gift' was supposed to appear.
Sesshoumaru turned, his glare falling on Jaken. "The girl."
Jaken jumped to attention and looked toward the miko witch that glared angrily at him.
He waddled over to her, glaring nervously back. "M-M'Lord Sesshoumaru wants you."
Kagome huffed and crossed her arms. "And?"
Jaken's eyes narrowed and he swung the staff in his hands at her head. Kagome caught the staff in her hands, and threw it out of the eye. Jaken glared at her, his mouth open. "You!"
Kagome gave him a smug smile as he waddled out of the eye. "Baka."

Kagome gasped and grabbed at her hair. Sesshoumaru dragged her toward the furthest part of the socket, where a small lock-shaped drawing was made.
There was something written under the lock, and between her trying to save her hair, she read it.
'This is the lock. . .ow!!!!!. . .a mortal soul is your key. . .Ow, ow, ow!!!!. . .but beware, the true Gift lies in thee. . .? Eh?. . .Ow!'
Kagome gasped as he gave another hard yank to her hair.
"You are the key, open it."
Kagome stared first at him, then at the small picture of the lock. She raised an eyebrow.
Her head hurt from the way he was holding her hair, and she moved her feet under her so that she could stand.
"How?" She asked, looking back up at the taiyoukai.
He glared at her.
"Well, how am I supposed to open it?" She asked again, glaring at him. Even if she did know, she wouldn't cooperate with him.
Her eyes darted back to the place that she had last seen Inuyasha. She couldn't believe that he had been beaten, by Jaken of all people. . .er. . .demons. . .
She felt her heart drop again, and her eyes drooped from their glare.
Sesshoumaru followed her gaze, and smirked.
"So, you were closer to my idiot brother than I thought. . ."
smack!!!
Sesshoumaru stood still as an angered Kagome struck him. He hadn't anticipated or even sensed the blow. His cheek glowed red, as she glared at him.
"He is not an idiot!"
Sesshoumaru suddenly realized what had happened and he growled at her.
wham!
He struck at her, but his attack was blocked. He had to admit that he was stunned. A human. . .had blocked. . .his attack. . .?!
Kagome's arm was up, her glare set on his eyes.
He shot out his other arm, and it was stopped in the same way.
The girls aura radiated brilliantly, static shooting out from it and burning little black spots on the ground around her.
Her miko powers. . .coming forth. . .? He opened his eyes wider, and moved his arms away.
Maybe killing the hanyou brat had been a mistake, but he could take this miko girl. . .he could.
He took a fighters stance, while Kagome glared at him.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Jaken scrambled back in, a small tear in his eye. He was hysterical, and summoned both fighters attention.
Sesshoumaru stood back in a normal posture. He sighed and picked Jaken up by his head.
"What is it Jaken?"
Jaken let out another wail and pointed to the doorway.
"Inuyasha!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Yo! Haha, I guess I really didn't kill Inuyasha, I could never do that. I just needed a valid reason for Kagome's miko powers to come into play. Thanks so much to all of my awesome reviewers again!
Review! Ja!
