AN- Hi! Sorry that the update is came slow this time...I've been really busy
lately, and It's hard to squeeze in time for writing. But you all are such
awesome reviewers, so I'm forcing myself to stay awake and write another
chapter. If you all feel like it, check out my new fic Survivor. I only
have two reviews (besides for the one I gave myself...long story! ^_~) so I
would appreciate it if you all would take a look and tell me if you like.
Thanks.

Eddie4- You need more? Sorry, but for a while I'm not going to be able to make very long chapters for you. I wish that I could, but school, sports, animals, family, friends, eating, and sleeping just keep getting in my way. I'll probably make longer chapters with more frequent updates next month if you can be patient with me.
IYEWOBluver- I'm glad someone thought that that was long! ^_~ I'm glad that you liked yet another one of my chapters. Your support means a lot to me! Oh, and I'm going to try to read your new chapters soon! ^_^
CrazyAznGurl-^_^ I wish I had an Inuyasha too! That would be totally awesome. I'm glad that you enjoy reading my story!!! It makes me feel so good to know that you like it. Here's the next chapter. I hope that you enjoy.
JoJo10-I updated for ya. Hope that you like! ^_~

"What took you so long? I told you that I was going to be here! Is what Kikyo said true? Did you really use your miko powers? Did you really make a barrier?"
When Kagome had arrived home, her slightly angered friend had greeted her before she had even arrived at her front porch. Kagome stared at her friend taking in all of her quickly coming questions and trying to think of the best possible answers.
"It took me a while, because I was enjoying myself at the creek and I forgot that you were waiting for me. Yes, I did use my miko powers to make a barrier," Kagome replied, a small smile tugged at her lips. It would probably be hard for Sango to believe that she had finally tapped into her powers.
Sango's anger tuned to amazement at Kagome's reply. "S-seriously?"
Kagome nodded happily. "Yes! I'm so happy! My barrier probably beat Kikyo's..."
Sango's dark eyes widened. "Wow! Can you show me?"
"I can show you later...but I'm kind of drained right now. It takes a lot of energy to make a good barrier."
Kagome knew the she still had plenty of energy left to show sango the barrier, but she didn't feel like showing it to anyone right now. It had been a long day, and all she really wanted to be alone for a while...to have some time to think about all that had been going on lately. She would enjoy talking about some of the things happening to her with sango, especially things to do with a certain dog-eared hanyou, but she knew that she couldn't tell anyone about Inuyasha. Even her best friend. Inuyasha would have to stay secret as long as possible.
"Well, that's okay. Can you show me tomorrow?" asked sango, her eyes pleading.
"Yeah, I'll show you tomorrow," replied Kagome. She watched in amusement as her friend's face lit up.
"You must be excited Kagome! You can finally do other miko things too, right? Like that fire-ball thing that you always thought was so neat, and healing powers!"
Kagome felt overwhelmed at the thought. She hadn't yet considered using her newly found miko powers to do other things too. Would she become more powerful than Kikyo, or would she still be weaker? Would she want the power and attention? Kagome shook her head to rid the oncoming thoughts, and turned back to Sango.
"Yeah, I guess-"
"Kagome dear!"
They both turned around to see her mother coming out of the door. She went up to Kagome and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"I'm so proud of you! You finally unlocked your powers. I knew that Kikyo being your trainer would help you improve!" said Ms. Higurashi excitedly.
Kagome's face reddened at her mother's little display. 'Does she really think that I unlocked my powers because of Kikyo? Well...I don't want to tell her about the jewel...For some reason I feel like that needs to stay secret'
"Yeah, she helped me a lot," muttered Kagome.
Her mom beamed proudly at her. "I knew that you would get your powers! Maybe sapphire should train with Kikyo too...Well come in and have dinner! You must be hungry. You can have some dinner too Sango."
Sango nodded gratefully, and both her and Kagome went into the house for dinner.
~*~*~*~
Inuyasha jumped up in his favorite tree, above the creek, to try to relax. He put his red over-shirt back on. It now smelled like Kagome...like the soft sweet smell of roses. He closed his golden eyes and smiled one of the first real smiles that he had made in a long time. 'She seems to like me. She is the only person that has ever treated me nicely...she doesn't act like I'm a mutt, a disgrace to both demons and humans.'
He closed his golden eyes and took in the last of Kagome's scent that clung to his shirt. It was comforting and made him feel slightly tired. He was about to take a small nap when he heard a loud scream. His ears perked up to try to distinguish what was making the terrified noises. It sounded like some type of young demon, and it seemed to be coming in his direction with something much larger following it.
Soon he saw a small orange ball of fluff coming out from on of the bushes near him. It was a small fox demon, a kistune. He watched as the kit looked around for a suitable hiding spot and couldn't find one. It was crying.
*CRASH *
A large worm demon suddenly popped out of the clearing, snapping a tree in half in the process. Its large slanted eyes caught sight of the kit. The demon slowly, almost playfully slowly, made its way over to the frightened fox.
Inuyasha looked between the two. Should he help or let nature take its place? He took another look at the small fox demon, and made up his mind.
He jumped down from the tree, right between the worm demon and the small shivering ball of orange fluff.
"Leave now and I won't cut you in half," he threatened the worm demon as he extended his sharp claws warningly.
The worm demon, who didn't seem to understand what he was saying, or maybe just didn't care, charged carelessly toward him.
Faster than the eye could catch, Inuyasha extended his arm and cut the demon straight through into two large pieces.
"Keh," He mumbled as he wiped the blood from his claws in the water. When he thought they were properly clean, he looked toward the frightened fox child, who was shaking and staring at the two pieces of the corpse with wide eyes.
"You okay?"
The kit turned its head towards Inuyasha, gave him a frightened glance, and collapsed.
~*~*~*~
Kagome giggled as she watched Sango slap Miroku's hand, which was slowly reaching toward an off-limits part of her body, away. Those two were such a cute couple.
The whole family, and Miroku, Sango, and Kohaku were sitting at the dinner table eating. Kohaku had come over with Sango so he could hang out with Souta. They had all congratulated Kagome on her gain of powers, and they were celebrating with a large dinner and wine, which unfortunately made Miroku a little, ...okay very, perverted.
"Are you done eating Kagome?" asked Sango in a pleading voice as she watched Miroku's hand slowly inching its way toward her again.
"Not real-"
"Great!" said Sango before Kagome could finish what she was saying. Sango got out of her chair and started to lead her out of the kitchen. Kagome made a grunt of protest as she was taken away from her half-eaten plate of food. She gave the food a longing glance before she was dragged out of the kitchen, up the long spiral stairs, down the hallway, and finally into her room.
Kagome flopped down on her large fluffy bed and puffed her cheeks out angrily. "I wasn't nearly done with dinner yet! I'm still hungry..."
"Well! I needed to get away from that lecher and his perverted wondering hands!" exclaimed Sango in her defense. " He has been trying to feel me up ever since I got here! You would think that he would at least stop during dinner...!"
"I remember a girl constantly wanting to get the attention of the "handsome monk." Kagome pointed out with a small, sly smile creeping its way across her face. "Well now you have it and you don't even want it!"
A dark red blush stained Sango's cheeks. "I don't want that kind of attention! How was I supposed to know he was such a pervert!?"
Kagome smiled at her flustered friend. She knew that Sango was still very fond of Miroku, and probably liked the "attention" she was receiving. "He may be a lecher, but he is a good guy.
Sango chose not to respond to that statement. She had suddenly found the wall much more interesting than the current conversation.
Seeing that she wasn't going to get any other response from her friend, Kagome decided to change the subject. "Have you ever heard of anywhere that demons and humans coexist?
Sango turned her dark brown orbs away from the wall and gave Kagome a confused look. "Uh...I don't think so. Not in Japan at least...I don't think that humans and demons are supposed to be together. It just isn't natural."
"Oh," replied Kagome. So you have never heard of any human that had a relationship with a demon?"
Sango's eyebrows drew together in concentration as she tried to remember something on the subject. "Well...I think I can remember my dad telling me about a time when an male inu-youkai and a female human were had some sort of relationship together. It was about fifty years ago. They even had a child, a hanyou. The lady ended up being hung for treason, and no one knows what happened to the demon or the baby. They both just disappeared."
Kagome's eyes widened. 'An inu-youkai and a human had a baby? Were those Inuyasha's parents? There can't be many other cases with a dog demon and a human having a child, can there?'
"I remember another one that my dad told me about too," continued Sango. "It wasn't as long ago...probably about seven years...but anyway, A human and a demon had a hanyou. Its name was Jeninji. It was supposedly a huge half- demon. Somehow him and his mom survived the villagers' wrath, but the demon father was killed. Why did you want to know?"
"Just curious."
~*~*~*~*~
AN-Hope you all liked! Sorry if there is a lot of spelling errors. I didn't have the time to look over it, so if you see any errors just tell me. I promise that the next update will come faster. Last week was kind of hectic for me, but now things are settling down and I can get back to writing more for you all. Does anyone know what Inuyasha's outfit is called? Isn't a fox demon a kistune? If you know please tell! ^_^ Oh, and don't forget to read my other story survivor! Thanx.
