"Kagome's POV"
Chapter 3.
'Its official, Sango and Miroku are engaged, Inu Yasha, wishes to be with his tragic lost love, and I have an adopted Kitsune, and a Neko kitten, who should now be big as Kirara 's true form. In addition, he is still a kitten in more ways, than one! I know I am his adopted mother! Makes me think that all I am missing is a mate.'
'MATE!!! Oh, No! Don't go there girl.'
'No I will not think about that.... Ecchi, Hentai Kagome! Miroku is definitely rubbing off on you girl. I have to keep myself from those kinds of thoughts. Besides, Inu Yasha has Kikyou, and Miroku has Sango. So, why am I feeling left out? Sure I get attention, but not from the ones I want. That brings Koga to mind, Oi, Inukuro, how are you treating My Woman, Gee, I sure do know how to pick them, more like they pick me, and I am always in the middle of all it, and Inu boy and Koga begin arguing, and then fight, and I let it happen, Why? Why? Why? Do I get myself into situations like that.'
'So what good would it do, I'm hopelessly, stuck with arrogant, over baring, youkai that think I am some kind of property that needs claiming. Gees! In addition, to think, that I kinda enjoy it, in some sadistic twisted kind of way. Inu boy would love to hear that one. I seem to think absentmindedly about all the travels, we had! Even I have to admit, we sure had some good times and bad. Then to think of Him, Mr. Stoic, Ice Lord, and his words of, This Sesshou-maru, shall kill you, wretched wench, you dare defy this Sesshou-maru. Come on! Give me a break!'
'But, I have to say, well think actually. Its odd that Lord Sesshou-maru, is So...ooo, gorgeous, strong, well built, graceful, regal, and sexy, that he puts many to shame even in my time. Yet he has not taken a mate, I wonder why? He would make a great mate, if he only opened up! Ahhhh! Hentai, Hentai, Hentai, Geesh! Get a grip Kagome, Now I am thinking of Him in that way. Gosh, I am such a baka, for thinking like this. Its not like He would even notice me, Un,n,n.l.e.s.s!!! 'No! No! No! That will not happen with Mr. Stoic. Even I know that Sessho-maru has never noticed or cared. I have to take that back, yeah, he noticed me all right, on several occasions when we trained and things got a little to hot!!! The feel of his skin against mine was erotic and mind blowing. In the end it was just due to the heated battle not like he actually wanted to or did he? Nah! I think he just lost control of his instincts its not like he would if he could! Which, makes me think that if we did do something more than just kiss or having him grind himself on me would he have even cared afterward? He is so confusing, something bad had to have happened between him and Inu Yasha but what? What if Inu Yasha's mother and father was the cause of him being such an Ice cycle.
'I can hear him now, You Baka Onna; you think I care for such, trivial ningen matters! I care not for your pathetic Jabaku (cursed) ningen emotions, nor will this Sesshou-maru, lower himself to such. Yeah! Like, he ever would! But, Rigel, now he is a God. I may have only met him once during my training with Zeno and Sirius. But I wouldn't mind having him as a mate, even if he is a water dragon youkai. He is not like Sesshou-maru, who in his own way may surpass Kami himself, if it were not for him being so, so stuck up. Rigel, is kind, gentle and quite charming.'
He also has his pride and honor, at least he doesn't think I am some kind of property or something to control. At least I hope not. I mean I only saw him in his humanoid form briefly, but in his true form, I would still have to agree, he is not like any other youkai I have met, well besides Zeno and Kailie-Sama.
Why? Am I thinking about every handsome male, I know or met, in such a way that could?????....... Argh, there it is again.... That thought.... 'Oh, Kami, what am I thinking, why am I thinking this way.' She spoke to herself in a confused tone. The Fates must be having a time of their lives listening and watching this poor pathetic ningen, who allures males to claiming her against her will and better judgment.
What happened, to me? Why, Kami, does the Fates torture me so! Probably, to get a good laugh, I can actually see why! I would laugh too, if I saw everything through their eyes. It would wonders for the soul. But why, there has to be another reason as to why I am thinking and behaving this way? Perhaps what happened earlier, with Sango and Miroku, or just seeing all the others in this era married and having families, that has to be the reason, I miss my family back home, or is it that, I need someone to love who would love me back? Oh well! By the Fates, It probably wasn't meant for me anyways.'
"A little hint, for you all!" One of the main reasons why, she is thinking so much, about the opposite sex is that when our mysterious stranger, merged his and another's, Youki and scent. with that of her own aura and scent, She gained some of their Traits! Youkai, are Seductive and Very Sensual Creatures. Along with their Natural Instincts. They are Territorial, Predatorily, Possessive, and Quite Stubborn, I might add, and this Need rut or mate if you will, quite often. I mean it's an everyday thing, according to FF/AFF, and MM.O stories.
'My life is so screwed up, not to mention, juggling between two lives. Trying to finish, high school. Ji-chan, with his made up stories, to cover my absences. So I would not be dropped, expelled or worse because, I miss so much school while, I am here in Sengoku Jidai, hunting for fragments of the Shickon No Tama, with my friends and mosuko. We have to, defeat this demented shape shifting Hanyou, Naraku, so we can right the wrongs he had caused everyone. Which causes another question, the selfless wish of the jewel, which we could? Aaaah, No! No! No!!! Oh! Well, that one can wait, until we get to it.'
'Again, it brings me to think about that day, when that witch stole Kikyou's ashes, and then stole my soul. I remember it all to well. If only HE, did not call Kikyou's name, I would still be whole, complete, and not a living shadow. YEAH!!! If it weren't for HIM, and Now my soul, is being used to keep that walking dead corpse living, and feeding off dead maidens souls. Wow! Way to go Kagome, feed the demented, with good souls. I'm sure Kami himself is happy about that one.'
'I have grown tired of all that, always running to her, protecting her and even falling for her traitorous ways to get him to go to hell. Kami, if I had the power, I would put an end to it all. Perhaps, if Kikyou were alive, then she and Inu Yasha, could live somewhere else could fall in love each other, without regrets. Which, would leave me, ALONE! At least they would be happy, and I could be happy for them. My love for Inu boy, was never meant to be. The Fates saw to that! They must have their reasons, at least I know that now! But it doesn't hurt any less. I will always be Kikyou's shadow, her copy, and her incarnate, in his eyes, but no matter I will always love him. One day, he will have see me for me, or at least as a friend. I could only hope. Which reminds me of what I had to do to him to let me train.'
'I had given Inu boy, chances, upon chances to try to help me train in combat, or at least teach me how to use a sword or hishu (dagger), so I can protect myself and Shippo better, as well as having Kaede-Sama teach me more of my miko powers. Each time he refused! Why! His words were! We don't have time to play games! And I am here to protect you! So, you don't need any of that combat training! We need to look for the last of the Shickon Shards, so your miko powers are just fine! I don't see the need to change anything!'
'Well, I had a long hard talk, with him! Between threats, and reasons as to why, I was going to train my miko powers, and learn something other than how to use a bow and arrow, when fighting or defending myself and the others, Inu Yasha, threw a fit. All because he was my protector, and I didn't need such teachings. Well, I showed him! I dug deep into my soul and pulled at the swirling pink and blue energy, and let it fly at Inu boy! He didn't get the chance to register it in his mind at what happened, for it was already too late. As he fell to his hands and knees. His right hand clutched his chest, as he gasped for air. He looked into my eyes and found that they were not their usual blue/gray color, they were a bright white, and my body was glowing a light pink and blue. It soon faded, and I returned to normal.'
'I knew exactly what I was doing, so I didn't hurt him too much! I only gave him an electric jolt of my powers, which knocked the wind out of him! I gave him the dumbest look that meant, I didn't know how I did that, as I held my head down so he couldn't tell I was flat out lying. I rushed to him apologizing, for hurting him and that I was sorry, I didn't know how it happened! That's when he growled out 'Feh, you couldn't hurt me, your to weak! But, you should have Kaede train some of that Miko energy, you have, so you don't hurt innocent humans, or Shippo. It's to unpredictable! That's when I gave him a true hug, for the first time, in over a year. 'Yeah, that day was fun, I have to admit it...'
So, I talked him into giving me six months to train my miko powers. This didn't please him, one bit, but after thirty osuwari's in a row for three hours straight and the promise, of all the ramen and junk food he could eat, for a month. He eventually gave in, and went to brood over on the highest branch of the God Tree. Although, he wanted nothing more than to finish this quest, so he could make his wish. He said, he no longer desired to become full youkai, but that didn't help, bring my spirits up.... I knew, what he wanted! His life to be with Kikyou. And I am all for it, just as long as I get to go Home. Home to my family that love me for me.'
'And I did train long and hard for those six months, advancing most of my miko powers under Kaede-Sama, when she felt my powers exceeded hers and even Kikyou's she had me train under a Special Miko. Kaede-Sama introduced me to Kailie-Sama, who's a Neko Panther, Youkai-Miko from a far off village to the Northwest. She is gorgeous, long raven hair, with strands of silver and gold. Just so beautiful, its length went down to her ankles, done in a braid, which was also a weapon. Having the blades of purity, tucked in at the end of her braid. Thus, leaving her with strands of black, silver, and gold framing her dainty face.
'She has a light tan to her skin, with dark violet eyes, her lips are a velvet plum color, and a figure to die for. (Girls you know the type). Her claws are razor sharp and she keeps them retracted. She wore a traditional miko outfit only made of silk, in the color of an off-white haori, and a black hakama, with silver and gold trim along the sleeves, and collar. The villagers called her a Demon-Miko. In addition, most and importantly they respected her for she and her mate are guardians of their beautiful village. She taught me the ancient youkai languages, foreign black magic, along with the ancient rituals of healing and youkai etiquette.'
'I found the ancient youkai language, most interesting, they consisted of barks, growls, howls, snorts, snarls, roars, clicks, hisses, yips, yelps, and different type of squawks. To which I found very funny, but was reprimanded, for being somewhat unwilling to bark and finding it humorous when I did. To think about that punishment also called the Fear Embracer.! As it was called, just sends shivers down my spine. I don't know anyone who likes to be chained and restrained, as you were left in a six foot hole, suspended mere inches from the ground, as snakes, spiders, rats and worms crawled over your body, slithering here, crawling there, and squirming along! Yewwh!'
'No, they weren't poisonous or anything, but it was used as some sadistic training purpose, which to me was torture, its purpose was to train the captive to become dominant, and strategically overcome their most inner fears! I did it, believe me it was touch and go for a while. I almost gave up, but the thought of Inu Yasha laughing at me made me toughen up and after being in there for at least a good seven hours. I concentrated on my powers, and I began to glow, as my binds were snapped. All the creepy crawlies disintegrated before my eyes, as my power faded, I crawled and clawed my way out, with no help from anyone, I done it all by myself. And let me tell you, that is not happening ever again, just the thought of those creepy crawlies, Ugh!'
'No way! But, I learned and I'm happy I did. That's when we discovered, that I had some rather odd powers. 'I have been trained in Kendo, Karate, and Tachisuji, and in the arts of the mystic ninja. Thanks to My Nii-Chan, Zeno-Sama. Who is also a panther youkai, he is stealthily, sleek, and has a well, toned chest, and six pack, very handsome indeed. With a sophisticated and a masculine chiseled face, light tan skin tone, with gorgeous violet green eyes, that entrances you. Long silky black hair, with strands of silver and gold, done in a braid, that held the Four Winds Blade of Poison, tied at the end, which reached the back of his knees. He dressed in a durable silk fabric made to fit his toned body. He wore an off-black haori and black hakama with silver and gold intricate panthers embroider onto the collar and sleeves of his haori. A well trained and hired aristocratic assassin, for the Lord of the North.'
Both Kaede and Kailie-Sama think I should pick another name to use when I fight. So that offending youkai and humans, would not take revenge on my village home or the ones I love! But what should I call myself ? Zeno- Sama, who is now by blood, my Nii-chan. We had done an ancient family ritual, with the exchange of blood that bonded us as Nee-chan, and Nii- chan. We celebrated for two days, it was and has been the best time of my life, here in the warring states. I Became, family, after a few short months. As a gift for my completion of training, my nii-chan Zeno gave me my very own Elemental Wind, Panther-Youkai kitten. I named him Sirius, after the star constellations. He is the color of midnight, with silver and gold intertwined (like a rope) on the tips of his three tails, and paws and a silver-gold four-pointed bursting star markings on his forehead.'
'Sirius has one other form! Other than being normal size, for a panther.... Big Kitty... His true form, may rival Sesshoumaru's true dog form. Sirius is a big ol' kitty, that loves to play, from hide n' seek, to tag, and tackle. He is a loving, loyal, and very protective over his new mother, which happens to be me, Zeno and Kailie-Sama, and whom he deems worthy, I might add! I can't wait to go back to train with him, or play he thinks I'm sure, while I visit Kailie and Zeno-Sama. They proceeded to teach me, and made me learn their ways of the mystic arts. I do not know why, but I am thankful they did. Now I can talk to Shippo without Inu Yasha knowing anything we said. Boy, won't Shippo, be thrilled to know I can talk to him in his language. And Inu Yasha, will be dumbfounded and puzzled! He wouldn't even acknowledge me, but he sure would be pissed? Once he found out, Wouldn't he? I would have to wait and see!'
'I adore my new families village, its like my second home here in Sengoku Jidai. It so happens to be under the Great Yowai Iishiro's rule. Zeno, my Nii-Chan, said he is a Kitsune, and is, a wise and honorable youkai, whom cares for his people and beautiful lands. Well, with the one exception! Lord Sesshou-maru. Whom, I know has just as much pride and honor about himself and his lands. Though I'd rule out, that he cares for humans or other Youkai alike. I still believe, he is the only gorgeous youkai with a morbid sense of humor, who remains stoic and regal in all his grace.'
'Boy, if Inu boy found out that I was thinking of his Half Brother like this, the shit would really hit the fan. However, I cannot deny that he has a way with words, and his eyes, oh so mesmerizing, you just get lost in them. No one could match his wicked, beautiful, and royal self. Shit, Every Girl and Certain Males, Be It Youkai, Hanyou or Human, Would Love to Jump at the Chance to Bed Him or Carry His Pup. Oh, my Kami! There I go again, thinking that way. Of all the youkai, I have to think about Him, why not some other youkai or human for that matter? Minus one Ookami, Kouga, one Inu Hanyou, Inu Yasha, and one human, Hojo. Speaking of which, I wonder why he has been so nice lately? I mean in the last week we only retrieved two shards. Which, some low standard snake and bear Youkai had possession of. Which in no time Inu boy sliced and diced their gruesome selves into oblivion, and I retrieved the shard then purified it and put it with the others, same old, same old boring story.'
'Humm, I wonder what he is up to. Probably, Kikyou. Shimatta, I can feel this burning deep inside of me! Is it me, or just my imagination, that every time I think about Kikyou, I get this burning deep down in the pit of my stomach, or does it have to do with those powers, I have yet to figure out how to use. I have to go see Kailie-Sama for sure, before something bad happens. Shimatta, shimatta shimatta, I have to get Inu boy, to let me take time off so I can go train these new powers, I can feel them building up and its like a raging fire wanting escape. I will have to make him see that I NEED TO GO, train some more. Then tell him I have to go back home and study, go to school for the last three weeks until summer vacation. Then spend the whole summer shard hunting. So we can defeat this Naraku, and soon, so I could go back to having a life. Yeah! So, I Can Have A Normal, or Close to Normal life again.
I can't wait to see Kailie and Zeno-Sama, they promised that they would take me to Lord Ishiro's castle for a visit, when I returned. I wonder what he looks like? Would he look anything like Shippo, only in adult form? I wonder, if he is as nice as Kailie and Zeno Sama says? To many questions, not enough answers. Which only proves, that I need to go!!!' (If your wondering what she meant as, I need to go......Figured it out!!! She has to take a Potty-Break). I'm so excited, my blood is boiling, and I know that we are somewhat close to the village. I can feel my Nii-Chan, Zeno-Sama, wait a minute, since when could I do that. Damn, makes you wonder sometimes. I can't wait, to show the others what I learned to do and what I can do, I just need a chance to prove myself to them. If or when, they give me that chance. Perhaps, I should do it on my own. That would get their goat.'
'I can't wait to see the look on their faces when I show them I can PROTECT MYSELF, and that I have changed from the frail, weak miko into one that can kick ass. Even the clothes I wear, have changed, but I doubt anyone of them really knows why. I gone from my gakuseifuku to wearing stretch flare hip huggers jeans, baby T's with words like Bite Me, and Get Off My Back, and my favorite Go Bark Up Someone else's Tree. And of course my military camouflaged pants, tank tops, long button up shirts, sweaters, and a lightweight heavy-duty jacket that is quick to use in most situations while camping out.
I can't forget my trusty black steel-toed combat boots, which holds a small- enchanted hishu. My faithful tennis shoes, with hidden slits to hold neko stars, and a few other weapons that I have hidden, a jagged hishu, ninja stars, a yuki ryuu whip and something, which is from my time line, a taser. To give those jamakusai a shock of their futile life. Yeah, that's it. Eventually, I will have go on my own to prove to them, that I can take care of myself and show that baka Hanyou I'm not some scared, weak teenage miko anymore. I am seventeen now. I have the strength, and knowledge to back me up, and the power to prove it.'
'No matter what I do or achieve, Inu Yasha will only see the Kikyou in me and not who I truly am. What more can I do, I have to. No!!! I will prove to that baka hanyou that I KA-GO-ME, .....K.A.G.O.M.E, H.I.R.A.G.O.S.H.I!!! Plain and simple, I am not a clay doll, made of ashes, earth, and bone. I am made of living tissue, organs, and flesh and blood. I don't smell of death nor of something that crawled up your ass and died. Shimatta, I seriously need some therapy after this. 'AARRH! Just thinking about it gets me mad. I have to calm down, I don't want something unexpected to happen with my powers. By Kami, No one needs to know of them yet. Not until I'm ready. Which, brings back another topic! What the demented soul stealing doll, Kikyou had told me almost a week ago!'

"Kagome's POV"
Chapter 3.
'Its official, Sango and Miroku are engaged, Inu Yasha, wishes to be with his tragic lost love, and I have an adopted Kitsune, and a Neko kitten, who should now be big as Kirara 's true form. In addition, he is still a kitten in more ways, than one! I know I am his adopted mother! Makes me think that all I am missing is a mate.'

Why? Why? Do I get myself into situations like that.'
'So what good would it do, I'm hopelessly, stuck with arrogant, over baring, youkai that think I am some kind of property that needs claiming. Gees! In addition, to think, that I kinda enjoy it, in some sadistic twisted kind of way. Inu boy would love to hear that one. I seem to think absentmindedly about all the travels, we had! Even I have to admit, we sure had some good times and bad. Then to think of Him, Mr. Stoic, Ice Lord, and his words of, This Sesshou-maru, shall kill you, wretched wench, you dare defy this Sesshou-maru. Come on! Give me a break!'
'But, I have to say, well think actually. Its odd that Lord Sesshou-maru, is So...ooo, gorgeous, strong, well built, graceful, regal, and sexy, that he puts many to shame even in my time. Yet he has not taken a mate, I wonder why? He would make a great mate, if he only opened up! Ahhhh! Hentai, Hentai, Hentai, Geesh! Get a grip Kagome, Now I am thinking of Him in that way.

"A little hint, for you all!" One of the main reasons why, she is thinking so much, about the opposite sex is that when our mysterious stranger, merged his and another's, Youki and scent. with that of her own aura and scent, She gained some of their Traits!

All because he was my protector, and I didn't need such teachings. Well, I showed him! I dug deep into my soul and pulled at the swirling pink and blue energy, and let it fly at Inu boy! He didn't get the chance to register it in his mind at what happened, for it was already too late. As he fell to his hands and knees. His right hand clutched his chest, as he gasped for air. He looked into my eyes and found that they were not their usual blue/gray color, they were a bright white, and my body was glowing a light pink and blue. It soon faded, and I returned to normal.'
'I knew exactly what I was doing, so I didn't hurt him too much! I only gave him an electric jolt of my powers, which knocked the wind out of him! I gave him the dumbest look that meant, I didn't know how I did that, as I held my head down so he couldn't tell I was flat out lying. I rushed to him apologizing, for hurting him and that I was sorry, I didn't know how it happened! That's when he growled out 'Feh, you couldn't hurt me, your to weak! But, you should have Kaede train some of that Miko energy, you have, so you don't hurt innocent humans, or Shippo. It's to unpredictable! That's when I gave him a true hug, for the first time, in over a year. 'Yeah, that day was fun, I have to admit it...'
So, I talked him into giving me six months to train my miko powers. This didn't please him, one bit, but after thirty osuwari's in a row for three hours straight and the promise, of all the ramen and junk food he could eat, for a month. He eventually gave in, and went to brood over on the highest branch of the God Tree. Although, he wanted nothing more than to finish this quest, so he could make his wish. He said, he no longer desired to become full youkai, but that didn't help, bring my spirits up.... I knew, what he wanted! His life to be with Kikyou. And I am all for it, just as long as I get to go Home. Home to my family that love me for me.'
'And I did train long and hard for those six months, advancing most of my miko powers under Kaede-Sama, when she felt my powers exceeded hers and even Kikyou's she had me train under a Special Miko. Kaede-Sama introduced me to Kailie-Sama, who's a Neko Panther, Youkai-Miko from a far off village to the Northwest. She is gorgeous, long raven hair, with strands of silver and gold. Just so beautiful, its length went down to her ankles, done in a braid, which was also a weapon. Having the blades of purity, tucked in at the end of her braid. Thus, leaving her with strands of black, silver, and gold framing her dainty face.
'She has a light tan to her skin, with dark violet eyes, her lips are a velvet plum color, and a figure to die for. (Girls you know the type). Her claws are razor sharp and she keeps them retracted. She wore a traditional miko outfit only made of silk, in the color of an off-white haori, and a black hakama, with silver and gold trim along the sleeves, and collar. The villagers called her a Demon-Miko. In addition, most and importantly they respected her for she and her mate are guardians of their beautiful village. She taught me the ancient youkai languages, foreign black magic, along with the ancient rituals of healing and youkai etiquette.'
'I found the ancient youkai language, most interesting, they consisted of barks, growls, howls, snorts, snarls, roars, clicks, hisses, yips, yelps, and different type of squawks. To which I found very funny, but was reprimanded, for being somewhat unwilling to bark and finding it humorous when I did. To think about that punishment also called the Fear Embracer.! As it was called, just sends shivers down my spine. I don't know anyone who likes to be chained and restrained, as you were left in a six foot hole, suspended mere inches from the ground, as snakes, spiders, rats and worms crawled over your body, slithering here, crawling there, and squirming along! Yewwh!'
'No, they weren't poisonous or anything, but it was used as some sadistic training purpose, which to me was torture, its purpose was to train the captive to become dominant, and strategically overcome their most inner fears! I did it, believe me it was touch and go for a while. I almost gave up, but the thought of Inu Yasha laughing at me made me toughen up and after being in there for at least a good seven hours. I concentrated on my powers, and I began to glow, as my binds were snapped. All the creepy crawlies disintegrated before my eyes, as my power faded, I crawled and clawed my way out, with no help from anyone, I done it all by myself. And let me tell you, that is not happening ever again, just the thought of those creepy crawlies, Ugh!'
'No way! But, I learned and I'm happy I did. That's when we discovered, that I had some rather odd powers. 'I have been trained in Kendo, Karate, and Tachisuji, and in the arts of the mystic ninja. Thanks to My Nii-Chan, Zeno-Sama. Who is also a panther youkai, he is stealthily, sleek, and has a well, toned chest, and six pack, very handsome indeed. With a sophisticated and a masculine chiseled face, light tan skin tone, with gorgeous violet green eyes, that entrances you. Long silky black hair, with strands of silver and gold, done in a braid, that held the Four Winds Blade of Poison, tied at the end, which reached the back of his knees. He dressed in a durable silk fabric made to fit his toned body. He wore an off-black haori and black hakama with silver and gold intricate panthers embroider onto the collar and sleeves of his haori. A well trained and hired aristocratic assassin, for the Lord of the North.'
Both Kaede and Kailie-Sama think I should pick another name to use when I fight. So that offending youkai and humans, would not take revenge on my village home or the ones I love! But what should I call myself ? Zeno- Sama, who is now by blood, my Nii-chan. We had done an ancient family ritual, with the exchange of blood that bonded us as Nee-chan, and Nii- chan. We celebrated for two days, it was and has been the best time of my life, here in the warring states. I Became, family, after a few short months. As a gift for my completion of training, my nii-chan Zeno gave me my very own Elemental Wind, Panther-Youkai kitten. I named him Sirius, after the star constellations. He is the color of midnight, with silver and gold intertwined (like a rope) on the tips of his three tails, and paws and a silver-gold four-pointed bursting star markings on his forehead.'
'Sirius has one other form! Other than being normal size, for a panther.... Big Kitty... His true form, may rival Sesshoumaru's true dog form. Sirius is a big ol' kitty, that loves to play, from hide n' seek, to tag, and tackle. He is a loving, loyal, and very protective over his new mother, which happens to be me, Zeno and Kailie-Sama, and whom he deems worthy, I might add! I can't wait to go back to train with him, or play he thinks I'm sure, while I visit Kailie and Zeno-Sama. They proceeded to teach me, and made me learn their ways of the mystic arts. I do not know why, but I am thankful they did. Now I can talk to Shippo without Inu Yasha knowing anything we said. Boy, won't Shippo, be thrilled to know I can talk to him in his language. And Inu Yasha, will be dumbfounded and puzzled! He wouldn't even acknowledge me, but he sure would be pissed? Once he found out, Wouldn't he? I would have to wait and see!'
'I adore my new families village, its like my second home here in Sengoku Jidai. It so happens to be under the Great Yowai Iishiro's rule. Zeno, my Nii-Chan, said he is a Kitsune, and is, a wise and honorable youkai, whom cares for his people and beautiful lands. Well, with the one exception! Lord Sesshou-maru. Whom, I know has just as much pride and honor about himself and his lands. Though I'd rule out, that he cares for humans or other Youkai alike. I still believe, he is the only gorgeous youkai with a morbid sense of humor, who remains stoic and regal in all his grace.'
'Boy, if Inu boy found out that I was thinking of his Half Brother like this, the shit would really hit the fan. However, I cannot deny that he has a way with words, and his eyes, oh so mesmerizing, you just get lost in them. No one could match his wicked, beautiful, and royal self. Shit, Every Girl and Certain Males, Be It Youkai, Hanyou or Human, Would Love to Jump at the Chance to Bed Him or Carry His Pup. Oh, my Kami! There I go again, thinking that way. Of all the youkai, I have to think about Him, why not some other youkai or human for that matter? Minus one Ookami, Kouga, one Inu Hanyou, Inu Yasha, and one human, Hojo. Speaking of which, I wonder why he has been so nice lately? I mean in the last week we only retrieved two shards. Which, some low standard snake and bear Youkai had possession of. Which in no time Inu boy sliced and diced their gruesome selves into oblivion, and I retrieved the shard then purified it and put it with the others, same old, same old boring story.'
'Humm, I wonder what he is up to. Probably, Kikyou. Shimatta, I can feel this burning deep inside of me! Is it me, or just my imagination, that every time I think about Kikyou, I get this burning deep down in the pit of my stomach, or does it have to do with those powers, I have yet to figure out how to use. I have to go see Kailie-Sama for sure, before something bad happens. Shimatta, shimatta shimatta, I have to get Inu boy, to let me take time off so I can go train these new powers, I can feel them building up and its like a raging fire wanting escape. I will have to make him see that I NEED TO GO, train some more. Then tell him I have to go back home and study, go to school for the last three weeks until summer vacation. Then spend the whole summer shard hunting. So we can defeat this Naraku, and soon, so I could go back to having a life. Yeah! So, I Can Have A Normal, or Close to Normal life again.
I can't wait to see Kailie and Zeno-Sama, they promised that they would take me to Lord Ishiro's castle for a visit, when I returned. I wonder what he looks like? Would he look anything like Shippo, only in adult form? I wonder, if he is as nice as Kailie and Zeno Sama says? To many questions, not enough answers. Which only proves, that I need to go!!!' (If your wondering what she meant as, I need to go......Figured it out!!! She has to take a Potty-Break). I'm so excited, my blood is boiling, and I know that we are somewhat close to the village. I can feel my Nii-Chan, Zeno-Sama, wait a minute, since when could I do that. Damn, makes you wonder sometimes. I can't wait, to show the others what I learned to do and what I can do, I just need a chance to prove myself to them. If or when, they give me that chance. Perhaps, I should do it on my own. That would get their goat.'
'I can't wait to see the look on their faces when I show them I can PROTECT MYSELF, and that I have changed from the frail, weak miko into one that can kick ass. Even the clothes I wear, have changed, but I doubt anyone of them really knows why. I gone from my gakuseifuku to wearing stretch flare hip huggers jeans, baby T's with words like Bite Me, and Get Off My Back, and my favorite Go Bark Up Someone else's Tree. And of course my military camouflaged pants, tank tops, long button up shirts, sweaters, and a lightweight heavy-duty jacket that is quick to use in most situations while camping out.
I can't forget my trusty black steel-toed combat boots, which holds a small- enchanted hishu. My faithful tennis shoes, with hidden slits to hold neko stars, and a few other weapons that I have hidden, a jagged hishu, ninja stars, a yuki ryuu whip and something, which is from my time line, a taser. To give those jamakusai a shock of their futile life. Yeah, that's it. Eventually, I will have go on my own to prove to them, that I can take care of myself and show that baka Hanyou I'm not some scared, weak teenage miko anymore. I am seventeen now. I have the strength, and knowledge to back me up, and the power to prove it.'
'No matter what I do or achieve, Inu Yasha will only see the Kikyou in me and not who I truly am. What more can I do, I have to. No!!! I will prove to that baka hanyou that I KA-GO-ME, .....K.A.G.O.M.E, H.I.R.A.G.O.S.H.I!!! Plain and simple, I am not a clay doll, made of ashes, earth, and bone. I am made of living tissue, organs, and flesh and blood. I don't smell of death nor of something that crawled up your ass and died. Shimatta, I seriously need some therapy after this. 'AARRH! Just thinking about it gets me mad. I have to calm down, I don't want something unexpected to happen with my powers. By Kami, No one needs to know of them yet. Not until I'm ready. Which, brings back another topic! What the demented soul stealing doll, Kikyou had told me almost a week ago!'
