Inuyasha's ears twitched to the tickling sensation. He opened his eyes to see Kagome's stomach. He blushed. Why was she leaning over him?

"Um..."

"Oh!" Kagome bent away and scooted off of the hanyou. She looked to the wall and blushed. "Sorry..."

"What were you just doing?"

"Um...." She looked at the ground. "Um...Sorry...TheywerejustsointregingandIcoudn'tstandit.Ihadtotouch'em---"

She was talking a mile a minute. He sighed and shook his head. He crawled over to her and put his finger over her mouth to stop her rambling.

"It's alright. Just don't touch them. I TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE."

She winced at the last sentence. He was a little harsh but she knew he deserved it. He told her before not to do that. I guess the first time she should have learned, but she loved the feel of them. She had to do it again. She sighed and said her appologies again. He just smirked at her pout.

"You're pouting..."

"I DON'T POUT!"

He put his hand over her mouth and looked around the room. The only obvious person who heard her was Miroku. He moaned and then feel back to sleep. He moved his hand away and glared at her.

"...sorry..."

He shook his head and took her hand. He pulled her up and took her out of the hut. She was obviously going to be awake for the remaining of the night and he couldn't do much about it but get her out of there so she could say what she wanted. She seemed to have been deep in thought before she went to sleep, and it was obvious she needed to tell him something. Since she would look at him countless of times through her thoughts. He placed her infront of him.

"Out with it wench."

She gave him a surprised look, "Out with what?"

"You obviously have something to say. So say it."

She looked at him then walked away. "It's nothing important..."

"Oi! Wait a sec!"

She turned to him and gave him a confused look as he walked up to her.

"What are you keeping from me?"

"I said it's not--"

"It obviously is. Since you have been in deep thought all night."

She sighed, "Can we not talk about it..."

She tried to walk away again, but he caught her by the wrist. She didn't even bother to look at him.

"Can you let me go..."

"No..."

"And why--"

He twirled her around and grasped her shoulders. He looked at her with determination.

"Tell me now."

She wanted to look away from those fierce amber eyes, but she couldn't. She started to tense up. What was she going to do? Do what she was thinking about all night? NO WAY!

"Inuyasha--"

He cut her off again. He let go of her shoulders and looked at his forest. A fierce growl escaped him as he unsheathed Tetsusaiga. It flashed in a brilliant glow as it transformed.

"SHOW YOURSELF!"

The hanyou came out. In the baboon suit. Inyasha growled.

"Naraku...WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"

"I came to warn you hanyou. You're miko may be strong but she won't be a match for me. She will die in my hands..."

Inuyasha growled then his eyes went wide. He stared behing him at the sudden pink glow that erupted behind him. Kagome was engulfed in her own spiritual power. She started to walk forward. Inuyasha tried to stop her but she turned to him with a glare. He backed away. She started to walk forward.

"Is that so..." She said glaring at Naraku.

She started to float. She put up her hand. Her spiritual power pulsed toward it. A ball of energy started to erupt infront of her hand. She released it. It shot forward. It hit him dead on. Dust and smoke flew. She stood, still glaring as wind wipped her hair. The barrier around her protected her from the debree that flew. Inuyasha covered protected himself with his haori. Shelding his eyes. WHen the smoke cleared. He lowered his arm. He saw Kagome still glowing and a big crater in the ground. There layed a puppet broken in half. Kagome's barrier disappeared as she feel back. Inuyasha acted quickly and caught her.

"Kagome? KAGOME!"

He could still hear her heart. He glanced up at the reck she made. Three tree's were nocked down beside the crater. He winced. She didn't even give the puppet a chance to fight. He looked at her.

'You used way to much of your power for that weak puppet Kagome...' he thought.

He walked back to the hut and layed her down in her bed spread. He looked at the concerned friends who woke up turning the blast. He looked at them with a serious face.

"Don't worry. She just used too much of her power. She should be okay in a few days..." said the old miko.

They looked over to Kaede. "Inuyasha. Show me the damage."

He nodded. The group, other than Shippo and Kilala left. When they arrived at the site all there faces, other than Inuyasha's, were shocked. He grinned to himself, seeing Miroku's sweat drop.

"How did she--"

"She used all her power and did that?!" Miroku said cutting off Sango.

"That was half her true power actually..."

Now Inuyasha was shocked as they all looked at Kaede. The old women walked toward the crater. She touched the air before it. The barrier infront of her died down to her touch. They all became more shocked.

"If that was only half of her power..."

"SHE COULD PROBABLY KILL NARAKU ON HER OWN!"

They all had big sweat drops to that thought.

------------------------------------

Naraku's eyes shot open. Kagura was staring at Kanna's mirror with disbelief. She looked at the now broken puppet beside Naraku. It was steaming. 'How did she do that?!'

Naraku looked at her and then looked at Kanna's mirror. There was Kaede breaking the barrier around the crater. He became shocked. But didn't show it. He summoned Kagura. She stepped forward.

"Kagura, go see how powerful the new one is becoming."

She bowed and left. She closed behind her and started to walk forward. 'If anyone could kill Naraku, it would be that girl. Then I will be free...' She smiled to the thought. 'She has become more powerful..." she gasped, 'What if Naraku orders me to attack her?! I WOULD MOST DEFINATELY DIE BY HER HAND!' She stopped and winced. She looked at the pulsing ball before her.
'Hopefully my new brother will be quite a match for her...'
