Shippou was pensive all morning. He had barely eaten a thing for breakfast. Inuyasha had taken advantage of this and gobbled down his rice bowl and fish. Kouga had murdered Rin's parents. The scene of violence where that wolf demon unleashed his horde of monsters onto her village, people running for their lives and screaming. It burned into his mind like a hot iron. Shippou excused himself from the table and walked out to the koi pond.
"Shippou." A tenuous hand reached out and tapped him on the shoulder. Kagome sided up next to him and dipped her legs into the pond. "Are you okay?"
Shippou didn't answer. He didn't understand what he was feeling. It was an anger the likes of which he had felt when his father was murdered but his fire was tempered with the communion in Rin's sadness.
"Does this have to do with the girl that Sesshoumaru has with him?"
"Her name's Rin."
"Does this have to do with Rin?"
"Kagome." The poor fox child had never felt this sense of being lost in his own emotions.
'How does he know her name?' Kagome wondered.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
"Rin" Sesshoumaru's voice was as sturdy and strong as usual. "Where is he?"
"Who Lord Sesshoumaru?" Rin looked up at him as she sat cross-legged in her white and pink sakura kimono
Jakken raised his eyebrows. "The fox child. We can smell him and he was here. Where is he now?"
"I don't know I sent him back to be with his friends."
Jakken's anger started to rise. She was a great demoness who shouldn't be fraternizing with this child. It was an insult to what she had become. And he wanted to make an object lesson out of it. "Stupid girl. How dare you bring that poor excuse of a demon here. He is just a lowly fox demon that doesn't deserve to be even."
"No!" Rin's child like voice pipped up. "No he's nice."
"Naïve child. Summoning that vermin. Do you have no respect for your status?"
Rin had blocked out Jakken's angry ranting but bits of pieces barraged through her barriers. She heard words like filthy and pitiful. Some were directed towards her and others towards Shippou and the "wench" as he called Kagome.
"Stop it Jakken. Please stop it." Jakken's words stung. They swarmed around her ears like bees forcing entry.
"You want me to stop telling you the truth about these swine?" This enraged Jakken to the point where he actually walked over to Rin and attempted to hit her with his staff. A thick light of electric blue engulfed them both. It started as a pin prick but quickly spread through out the room. Jakken began to worry this youki was powerful. So powerful in fact that the air became charged and Rin's silver hair slicked back and turned a deep turquoise. Jolts of electricity surrounded Jakken and rained it's fury upon his person.
"Lord Sesshourmaru!" Jakken yelled for help as he scrambled around the room narrowly missing each flash of lightening. Rin's face shined as each lightening bolt as she made each bolt of lightening just a second after Jakken's foot hit the ground. Jakken scurried behind a lacquered vase, which shattered into bits, then tried to find sanctuary under Rin's bed. A few seconds past and then Jakken didn't hear the youki crackling in the air any more. He crawled out from his hiding place and looked around the room wary of any jolt. Rin made a quick turn in his direction. Jakken's eyes became wide and.WHAM! A bolt of lightening slammed into the demon. Jakken opened his mouth a let a puff of smoke come out. The blast strong enough to kill him it was just there as a warning against anymore bad mouthing.
A thin smile faced Seshoumaru's face. 'today's training is over.' He thought to himself satisfactorily.
Once Rin's hair became silver again she observed the devastation her act of retribution brought. And with a spurt of imagination and a toss of her head everything in the room was new and resembled an indoor river with golden fish and bubbles.
"Ohh Jakken I'm sorry." She felt sorry for what her powers did to him and waved her hands over his bruised body. A heat transferred from her hands into his. Causing him to wake from his slumber of unconsciousness and feel surprisingly well.

"Fox Fire!" Incandescent balls of flame fired from Shippou's hands. Unfortunately since it was only demon child magic, there was no heat to the fire. It just landed on the stuffed dummy which thanks to the presents Kagome gave to him looked surprisingly like Kouga. Shippou at this moment wanted nothing more than to be as powerful as everyone else was. To actually have power and not just as illusions but real power. Resolute, Shippou shrugged his shoulders and tried again.
"Fox Fire!" This time the flames exploded from his paws and charged into the dummy's body. This time it felt different. This was no illusion. The dummy's charred body attested to that. But how did he gain such power?
"Pretty good huh?" A young human looking girl with black hair addressed him.
"Did I do that?"
"Of course you did."
"But how?"
"I've given you some of my power. You wanted power to revenge the death of your friend's parents didn't you?"
"Yes.I did."
"I gave you that power."
"But who are you?"
"I am Setsusami. I was a powerful miko once but I died tragically at the hands of cruel men so now I'm a spirit that grants the power for justice and vengeance."
"You can give me that kind of power?"
"Of course. But do not tell your friends about this. They mustn't know. Besides they wouldn't understand anyway."
"Alright."
Setsusami's presence at first set him on edge but as she kept talking he became intent on listening and learning how to hone his skills as a fighter. With each blast of fox fire, he could feel his youki grow. He gathered all of his anger and concentrated it into his hands like Setsusami had told him to do and concentrating he launched a rain of fire that caused his body to glow with each flicker of flame.

Kagome's gaze was on Shippou as he slept. Shippou had been mumbling things but she just thought that was the normal thing for fox children to do. Maybe since he was full of thought while awake it would make sense that as he slept he would be thinking.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha's voice was shrill and alarmed.
"Inuyasha?"
A large mob was forming and they were all pushing and shoving to get to the center of the city. Inuyasha jumped over most of them and landed on the porch in front of Kagome.
"Inuyasha what's happening?"
"There's gonna be a fight. I think we're gonna have some trouble on our hands. Where's Miroku and Sango?"
" They're up at the pagoda trying to understand what happened to that girl that Sesshoumaru keeps with him. But what are you talking about? Trouble here? Nah it's too peaceful."
"Two demons had bumped into each other while walking and then they started fighting. Oh come on." Inuyasha's claws grabbed Kagome's arms. He dragged her to the fight.
