***********************

~*~*~Crystal POV*~*~*

Where is he? He knows I know he is coming! I swear one day his little games are going to get him killed. This is a matter of urgency! That girl she needs her training now! If not…the world…no I refuse to think like that.

Of course with that bond those two idiotic princesses conjured up…training her might be a little difficult…but hey! I'm always up to a challenge.

I swear if that arrogant little bastard doesn't show up soon, I will refuse to instruct her! I'll see how he takes that…

*~*~*Author POV*~*~*

Crystal folded her arms over her white haori. Her black hair whipped in her face, and her pale blue eyes narrowed as she peered into the thick forest. She saw Youko approaching with the girl in his arms. She cocked and eyebrow at the delicate way he held her. Oh! What's this new development…looks promising. Youko stopped in front of her and dropped the young female rudely. Or maybe not…

"Ah…so nice of you to join me. Late as usual." Crystal replied as the young women picked herself up.

"YOUKO! YOU ARE A COMPLETE PIG-HEADED JERK!"

"Well…seems like she knows you pretty well." She raised an eyebrow questioningly at the kitsune, who ignored it and glared at the aforementioned young female.

"How many times do I have to tell you to quit your incessant yelling?"

"I will if start to act nicer toward me!" Kagome immediately felt dumb saying that. It sounded like a game of 'I will if you will'. She felt the urge to stick her tongue out at him and immediately suppressed it. She instead settled for a glare.

"Right. What brings you here Youko?" She said, already knowing the answer.

"You know just as much as I why I am here. This girl needs training, before she purifies everything within a 100 mile radius of her, including me." Youko said with a scowl on his face. Kagome glared up at him, tilting her head back to get a view. Goodness, he's gorgeous! Bad Kagome! Bad! Hoping he didn't hear her errant thought, she turned around and bowed to the miko in front of her.

"Arigatou Gozaimasu, for taking time to train me." Kagome said.

"Ningens do have manners!" Youko said under his breath. Apparently Kagome heard him because she glared from her bowing position. Youko's face held an ever present smirk.

"No problem. I would hate to think what would happen should you go into a Miko Rage." Crystal said.

"A what?" Kagome asked, looking for all the world completely clueless. Youko looked at her in complete surprise.

"There is much I have to teach you…" Crystal sighed and put her arms around Kagome's shoulders, and started walking towards her home that was hidden and protected by several wards.

"First. A Miko Rage is similar to a demon rage, except there are no transformations. Well there were some transformations and…never mind I'll save that story for later, any way when a miko is angry, or in prominent danger, her miko senses will override, and she will go into a Miko Rage…although I don't think the name is very apt because most of the time a miko isn't mad…just in danger……well anyways where was I? Oh yes. So her miko power will override and an explosive amount of energy will erupt from her. Purifying anything within a 100 mile radius, or depending on how powerful the miko, farther or less." Crystal waved a hand in front of her and a medium sized hut appeared. Kagome assumed she had dropped concealing wards rather then she made a hut appear. She walked inside motioning for Kagome and Youko to follow, not that he had a choice anyway, either that or be pulled by his navel towards them by some imaginary force, which, he deduced was not fun…at all.

************************

Inuyasha sat in a tree looking down at his companions. They were seating around the fire all looking miserably into it, and every now and then they would cast wary sideways glances at a figure sitting across from the fire.

Kikyo.

Sango sat as far from the undead women as possible. With all the fire, I bet she's still as cold as ever. Well…she is dead, she probably doesn't feel heat, if she felt at all. Of course seating as far away from Kikyo, and sitting as close as possible to the fire also meant that she was seat next to Miroku at an unhealthy distance. She cast him a wary glance out of the side of her eyes, but he was lost in thought.

Or so it appeared.

"HENTAI!!!" Was heard all through the forest, along with a sickening crack, as Sango's Hiraikotsu connected with his unbelievably thick skull. ((I believe every Inuyasha story needs a part where Miroku is beaten for his lecherous ways! =) but is that just me?)) The taijiya shook her head and scooted farther away from the unconscious houshi. Shippo giggled at the site of Miroku laying sprawled out on the forest floor. The first laugh he had made since Kagome's disappearance. Sango smiled at him, also missing her friend, who was like a sister to her.

PLUS! That stupid women Kikyo is really freaking me out. She swears she can just walk in and replace Kagome…well in Inuyasha's eyes she has hasn't she?

Sango looked up and saw Inuyasha looking down at Kikyo with a soft expression. Sango wanted to gag. How could he even stand her smell? I'm human and even I can barely contain a lid on my stomach! Little Shippo almost fainted the first time she walked past him. Sango shook her head sadly. Things just weren't the same without Kagome. Finishing her breakfast Sango doused the fired.

"Hurry up. There aren't that many shards left, lets get going." Inuyasha's gruff voice was heard before he landed softly on the floor besides Kikyo, picking her up and putting her on his back. Sango shook her head again. Kirara transformed into her larger form, and Shippo and Sango slipped on, placing the unconscious monk in the back. Nothing was the same.

*************************

"Okay, so now you can access your Miko powers." Crystal said happily. In only a day, Kagome had improved greatly. Now able to access her miko powers she could heal minor cuts. Her arrows were now always purified. They were now sitting in the middle of and empty room. Kagome sat with her back to the shoji screen, the other side reveling the shadowy form of Youko.

"Now, the next thing I will teach you, will be conjuring weapons of your spirit."

"Doing what of what?"

"Have you ever heard of spirit energy?"

"Yea…"

"Right, well you my friend just happen to have a vast amount of both spirit energy, plus your miko powers. Conjuring up a weapon from your spirit energy should be no problem. Now, focus in on yourself, you will feel an energy different from your miko power."

Kagome closed her eyes and indeed felt a different energy. This one was more intimate to her. This one felt more closer to her.

"Now just pull on it like you would your miko powers. And imagine a weapon forming, don't think of any particular weapon, just think of the essence of weapon, what they are used for, like defending and killing. " Crystal instructed. "Your spirit energy will form a weapon that is best fit for you."

Kagome snorted. She would probably end up with a bow. ((I know mikos traditionally use bows…but hey not in my story!)) Doing as she was told she pulled on her spirit energy and thought of a weapon.

Something to Protect. Something to Defend. Something to Kill with. These thoughts circulated through Kagome's mind as she pulled on more of her spirit energy. She wanted the weapon to be powerful, and something that only she could use, and touch. She pulled on more of her spirit energy pouring it into the creation of the weapon.

For what seemed like forever to Kagome she sat there with her eyes closed pulling on more of her spirit energy, till she felt there was no more.

"Kagome OPEN YOUR EYES! YOU HAVE TO SEE WHAT YOU DID!" Crystals voice was laced with excitement. Kagome snapped her eyes open.

In her lap were twin swords. They were all black except for a silver dragon intricately designed on the scabbard of each sword. On the hilt, diamonds were encrusted all over. On the top of each hilt was a silver kitsune fox with several tails. Taking off the scabbard Kagome was met by black steel. It was double bladed and the edges were extremely sharp, too sharp to be natural.

Written in silver on one sword was To Protect. To Defend. To Kill. I am Kiyoshi. Kagome stared and open mouth amazement. The words on the blade were exactly what she was thinking while making the sword. The blade even had a name. Kiyoshi. That meant 'purity'. Taking off the scabbard of the other sword, Kagome was again met with black steel. The writing was again in silver saying To Protect. To Defend. To Kill. I am Taka. The words she thought once again written on the sword. And now this swords name is Taka. Honorable. That's what it meant. Purity and Honor. Male and Female. Weird. Very weird.

"Whoa! Those are nice Kagome. How the hell did you do that?!"

"Oh Kami! I have no idea!"

It was at this time that Youko's kitsune nature took full control, because his head popped in with curiosity written all over his face.

"What…lemme see!" Youko whined. Kagome busted out laughing as did Crystal at the look on Youko's face along with the sound of his voice. He sounded just like Shippo when he wanted to know or see something. This made Kagome think of the little kitsune cub she had left back. She need to get back to him.

Kagome handed him the swords which he took when he fully entered the room. He immediately dropped the swords as soon as his hands touched them, he pulled his hands back to examine them, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Oh Kami. What happen?" Kagome asked, Picking up the swords and sheathing them both.

"Your swords don't like me much I guess." Youko said showing her his hands.

Kagome gasped at the sight of his hands. They were extremely red, as if he had been burned, and his fingertips were bleeding where the swords had cut him as they fell to the floor. She grabbed his hands and took a closer look.

Youko winced in pain as she grabbed his hands.

"Goodness women! There is no need to be so rough!" Youko growled.

"Sorry…" Kagome said softly, she looked up into his eyes. Youko looked down at the ningen and locked eyes with her. They sat there for what seemed like an eternity gazing into each others eyes.

He has such beautiful eyes…Kagome thought. Blushing slightly at the thought.

Thank You……Kagome.

Kagome blushed a deeper crimson and looked away. Youko smirked, happy that he had that effect on her.

Crystal looked at the two with an eyebrow raised. A smile tugged at her lips as she tried not to bust out laughing. Kagome noticed this and glared at her. This only set Crystal into a fit of giggles.

Kagome shook her head and went back to Youko's hand. She smiled. A perfect chance to use my miko powers! She smiled in pure joy as she sent to work on her hands.

Youko watched Kagome's smile and wanted to smile back. He shook his own head slightly, wondering where in the seven hells that had come from. Wanting to smile at a ningen. He looked down at her again. Deep blue eyes, rosebud shaped mouth ((we know how Youko loves his roses ^_^)) and midnight black hair that feel to just above her butt. Long legs and…Youko stopped his eyes and looked away. Dear Kami, I'm attracted to a ningen! He prayed that Kagome didn't hear that thought. He looked at her, but she was looking at his head in pure concentration.

Crystal almost burst out into a fresh peal of giggles when she saw the faint blush on Youko's cheeks. ((how cute!)) Oh man! I feel like playing matchmaker… Crystal's eyes glinted mysteriously in the fading light as she rubbed her hands together, a plan forming in her mind.

************************

Peering through the forest, red eyes looked at the medium sized hut with bored interest. The wards would keep the house hidden from the view of most, but she was not like most. She stepped out from the shadows and looked at the hut more closely, seeming to peer inside, maybe even seeing inside. Black wings fluttered slightly. The female had black hair with silver streaks to her knees. She wore a black kimono with silver roses on the sleeves and collar, her obi was silver with black roses.

She rose her red eyes to the sky and sighed in exasperation.

"This is ridiculous." She said to herself. Her voice was soft and dark. Sighing once more, Ryuko flew up in a flutter of wings, flying silently over the hut she headed towards the spirit world. She need to have a talk with a certain toddler.
