Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, I just enjoy playing around with the characters.

Can anyone tell me how to accept anonymous reviewers. I have no ideal how. Please help. Enjoy the story. I know it's been forever and I'll try to update Chaos tomorrow or the next day. School starts back up and with that more testing. What fun! (Yeah right!) Enjoy and I hope I have repeated my self in this chapter from the last chapter. Please review!

Chapter Six

Sango's P.O.V.

As Kouga shook me awake, I saw Inuyasha carrying Kagome. The sight I saw shocked me. Kagome was wet with blood smeared all over her. It looked as if she had been in a fight.
When I looked up to question Inuyasha, I saw an enkindled rage in them. Turning my head toward Kouga I saw that he stayed far away from them as if Kagome was some giant bug.
Walking toward her I saw the unmistakable mark of a demon on her neck. I took in a sharp breath when I realized that it was a mark of death. If she didn't die from the poison that was undoubtedly running through her veins, than she would be forever hunted and even considered the demon's property. Even if this was a death threat I still held some hope. It also meant no demon could touch her. Be that with good intentions or not. What puzzled me though was why Inuyasha was able to carry her.

Inuyasha's P.O.V.

I saw Sango's question in her eyes as I carried Kagome in the room and I even noticed the way she sucked in her breath when she had seen her neck.
I knew she knew what had happened, but by whom she could only guess. I knew though because I was able to touch her with out causing myself harm
I almost laughed when I remembered Kouga's face as he was repelled by the barrier that protected her as well as would cause her harm. He had looked as if the world had just ended when he had felt the power of another's claim. The only question that remained in my head as I sat her down on her unoccupied bed to be tended by Sango, was why did The Demon Lord of the West want with a human?

Miroku's P.O.V.

After we had all waken and my wife had cleaned Kagome I tried to treat her. I couldn't though. Something that was within her repelled my attempts and I could understand it. Even Hojo tried and failed.
I noticed though that Kouga stayed as far away from her as possible and I thought nothing of it. At the moment my only concern was trying to keep this strange young girl alive.

Kagome's P.O.V.

I wanted to scream with pain every time someone so much as touched me, but my voice wouldn't work. It felt as if my entire body was burning with a fire that wouldn't be put out.
I knew I was dying. I could feel his poison run through my veins as I kept hearing his voice promising me death no matter what happened.
Suddenly when it felt as if my whole body would explode from the pain something inside of me snapped and I felt an immediate warmth flow through me. It was as gentle as a mother's hug and as strong as a parent's will and I knew without a doubt that I would be all right.
My parent's where with me and I had unlocked my spiritual powers, now though I would have to learn to control it all over again.

Hojo's P.O.V.

We all felt immense relief when she awoke. Her face was starting to regain color again and she looked like she was no longer in pain. Something bothered me though.
Why did her body reject body spiritual healing? It shouldn't have unless she was marked. Yet if that was the case then Inuyasha wouldn't have been able to hold her. Then again Kouga doesn't even go near her.

Sango's P.O.V.

After Hojo failed to heal her. Miroku, Hojo and Kouga all left the room to see if they could find anything. If her body didn't start to heal itself than she would die and no one would be able to help her.

It was a true relief when she started to move around and regain her coloring. I like the girl and it would be a pity if she had died.

Chapter Seven

Kagome's P.O.V.

It was almost two weeks before I was able to stand properly, then it was another week before I was strong enough to travel. His words still haunted me as the mark burned. My miko powers were fighting the demon blood within me. To say the least it was painful.

I told no one though. I was used to immense amounts of pain.

Miroku's P.O.V.

The child was worrying me. Ever since the attack back at the village she had been strangely quiet. Not that she was talkative in the first place, but it was unusual.

Sango had come to me the other day and said about the same thing. Kagome usually would talk to Inuyasha or Sango, but now she kept to herself. I felt an internal battle within her and it was puzzling. I knew without a doubt that I had seen this kind of turmoil before, but I cannot remember who I had seen it within.

She was walking ahead of us and was strangely alert. There was a movement in the trees that alerted Inuyasha, which alerted the rest of us, but I had the feeling that Kagome had already felt the presence of this familiar demon.
