(I don't own Inu-yasha)
Kagome backed up."You heard?" She sighed. "I have a question. Why would I want to come with you? What are you proposing?" She looked at him, a fire swirling in the depths of her eyes. He smiled. "Before we do anything I'd like you to drink this." He handed it to her. "How do I know its not poison or anything?" She grabbed it and sniffed. "It is a potion to tell if you have any demon blood in you. If you have any quarrels about it then I will drink some as well. I thought this would happen so I made enough for both of us." There was something hanging off his pack; it looked like a bowl made of bone; he took it off and pours some out of the container he had handed her and handed the bowl to her. "Cheers!" He chugged his part of the potion down and then sat down to wait for it to kick in. She decided it wasn't gonna be bad if he took it and did the same.. After a minute or two the old man started to convulse. There was a tenseness in the air and she didn't start convulsing, but she started to glow violet and cobalt blue. It swirled and turned in a battle to win against the other. She growled, cause it was burning her, it wasn't burning her skin, but her insides. They felt worst then being on fire, they felt like they were just burning away. Just as she thought everything was calming down her ears started to grow into a point and she could feel something start to sprout just at the end of her lower back.
When it was all over she looked at the old man, who was trying to catch his breath, but had watched it all happen. "Heh, you know your probably gonna kill me now." She looked her self over. "No I'm not gonna kill you, but is this why you wanted me to come with you? So you could train me or something? Did you sense a demon presence in me?" She asked and not a hint of sarcasm or anger was in her voice, just a genuine curiosity. "Yes. I am not a demon my self, but my mate is. She sensed your presence and asked me to find you. She's not been able to do any working since I took me up as my mate. This will bring her happiness, so would you please do this, for her Miko? Onegai(please)?" Kagome smiled and looking at him, she placed a hand on his shoulder. "Yes I will, but tell me mister how did you know I was a miko?" She looked at him. "Your aura showed me that. Although I don't have any demon blood in me I am a priest." He bowed to the miko. She heard something and remembered she 'was' with Sesshoumaru. "We best leave before he comes back." "Yes we should." The priest nodded and started to walk and Kagome looked at him pitifully. "Ok this isn't gonna work." She picked him and his pack up, put him on her back as she ran off in the direction he pointed to. Luckily it was in the opposite direction that Sesshoumaru was in. *I'm sorry Sesshoumaru, but for once I want to be something, not just a shard detector. I wanna make something of my self. *
While she was running she would dodge trees, duck under, and jump over fallen trees and under brush. She would giggle madly like it was a game. This brought a smile to the old mans face. When they neared the village Kagome started to slow down and stop giggling. She thought, * Gess all this running and I haven't even broke a sweat or lost my breath. * She smiled and started to run just a little faster at the thought. They reached the village and Kagome was shocked to see humans and demons working and coexisting together. "What the.?" She looked around forgetting the old man on her back up till he started to get down. "Oh sorry." She helped him down. "Ours is one of the only villages that coexist." The old man said very proudly. Just then a middle age, female, half-youkai (half-demon) walked up to the old man and they embraced. The female youkai was as tall as she was, long brown beautiful hair, pointed ears, and a wolf tail like Kagome's just brown instead of black. "Hello father." She turned to Kagome. Her eyes were a deep green, her lips were a soft pink color, and her shin looked like gleaming silk.
"Hello I'm Hoseki (jewel)." The female extended her hand. Kagome smiled. "I'm Kagome!" She shook her hand as well.
