What I do for You
Kiori and Kagome sat up on a rock cliff over looking the forest. This was where they were supposed to meet the half-breed and his little gang of friends. Koiri put her hands to the ground and spread out her sences, she sighed, they still had a long wait, they were a good distance off.
She lay down and Kagome, taking a hint did the same. Kiori wondered what the miko-hanyou was thinking.
'I'll probably probe it out of her later. Me or Kagura.'
She knew the wind sorceress had gotten close to the young girl in her month with them. Kiori had been there for twice the amount of time Kagome had, and she still wasn't as close to Kagura as Kagome had gotten.
She wasn't jealous; she was more concerned with other things. She thought about what had happened just a few days ago, just after her meeting with Naraku about their failure to kill Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru.
-------------------------Flashback------------------------------
Kiori washed the make-up from her face and gazed at her reflection.
"Better" she said "Much" a voice behind her added. Kiori whirled around to face the person who had managed to sneak up on her.
"What would you know, Kane." She glared but visibly relaxed.
"Probably a lot more than you think." He smirked
"Oh really?"
"Yes really" he responded coming closer to her.
Kiori ducked under one of his arms with lightning speed
By the time he turned around she was halfway to the miniature forest held in the center of the gardens. He did a double take, then followed her.
He caught up with her and matched her stride.
"That hurts Kio."
"Terribly I'm sure" she said, sarcasm dripping off her every word.
Kane acted like he didn't notice
"Of course. You really should be more considerate of others."
Kio whirled on him
"ME, ME, ME, I SHOULD BE MORE CONSIDERATE YOU COME UP TO ME EVERYDAY AND HARRASS ME FOR AN HOUR STRAIGHT AND I SHOULD BE MORE CONSIDERATE."
Kane just chuckled "And this is the first time I've been able to get a rise out of you."
Kiori blinked in confusion her anger draining from her face.
"I was beginning to think you were worse than Kanna and Sesshoumaru put together."
Kiori just shook her head in exasperation. He was so goddamn confusing.
"You've been having a lot of nightmares lately." He stated, his face going serious.
"How would you know?"
"I take midnight walks."
Kiori sighed and sat down on a log. She was getting ready to spill her guts. Sure he had been pestering the hell out of her for about a month but she still felt like she could trust him.
"I've been having these odd dreams." She said. Kane sat across from her and gave her his full attention, she didn't even notice.
"Kagome's been having the same type of dreams and they're her memories, but hers aren't nightmares" She looked up at Kane. His face was set in deep concentration, "maybe yours are memories too, you might just have had a more painful past."
He sat in thought for a moment he sighed, "Well we're bound to find out anyway."
She nodded; he saw this and decided it was time to change the subject,
"Have you noticed how strangely Kanna acts around Kohaku?"
Kio looked up at him and started to laugh "You should see her face when I bring it up." The two of them spent the rest of the night talking about their little "family"
He looked up "We should probably be getting back, Kagura's on her way."
Kio nodded Kane stood up and helped Kio rise. He turned to leave but looked back at her when she didn't let go.
"Thank you." Kane just smiled at her
"Anytime Kio." A confused look came over her "But why?"
He pulled her to his chest, she just kept eye contact. "Because," he said leaning down to her ear, "I care." He whispered into her ear.
He looked down at her she smiled at him she leaned up to him and kissed him lightly on the lips. She pushed away from him and pulled him with her out of the gardens.
They reached the stairs just as Kagura entered the grounds. Kiori and Kane went to their respective rooms and layed down to sleep.
Kagura entered the room where Kiori and the others slept and whispered
"Your gonna tell me what happened in the morning." Kiori bit back a laugh and drifted off into the world of dreams, but this time they were peaceful, of a little girl with her two immature brothers and a human woman named Iziayo.
-------------------------Flashback end---------------------------
Kio smirked. Kagome however was thinking about her most recent dreams, and the hanyou that kept appearing in them.
Both girls caught a group of familiar scents and scrambled up.
'Shit how could we have not caught that' both thought
They quickly prepared their weapons and got ready for the battle ahead.

The Inu-gumi was walking again, after the night when Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru had been unusually subdued. All had agreed they couldn't simply take abuse from either Kagome or the sister of the two Inu's. They'd fight them but would try not to do any lasting damage. They'd try to get them to leave before things got to rough. Well that was the plan anyway.
The Inu's had grudgingly agreed, both grimaced of winced at the very thought of harming Kagome or their sister.
"Will you two stop pouting? It's not getting us any closer to saving them so knock it off." Shippou shouted, he had finally snapped from the tension around the two brothers.
"If you want to save them so badly why don't you try a little harder for leads Hell, traveling with Kouga would be better than this, we would actually be getting somewhere."
Both Inu's brothers stared at the kit in wonder. Both knew he was right but didn't want to admit it, that would be one major hit to their ego. Shippou just stalked past the brothers and continued on his way.
The rest of the group continued on a ways behind Shippou. After a while he came back screaming.
"What's wrong with that coward now."
"Inuyahsa! Sesshoumaru! Sango! Miroku!" When he finally reached the Inu-gumi he latched onto Inuyasha's leg and looked up at him with wide eyes.
"It's Kagome and Kiori up ahead."
Everyone took off towards the direction the kit had just come from. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru flying ahead of the group. The rest of the Inu-gumi caught up with them when the two finally reached the Inu's they were glaring up at two demons.
It took the others a moment to realize that it was Kagome and the demoness, they knew was Sesshoumaru's little sister.
Both were wearing battle suits both similar to Sango's but wasn't as tight and was sleeveless.
Kagome had a quiver with arrows on her back the strap went across her chest; she also had a yumi strapped to her back, and a sword at her side.
Kiori had two swords her side, a Bo stuck into the ground beside her. And had silver bands around her wrists.
"It's about time you showed up. We were beginning to think you'd managed to get lost." Kagome remarked, a dark smile on her face.
She suddenly jumped up into the air and attacked Inuyasha. "Iron Reaver soul stealer." Inuyasha quickly dodged the attack and then blocked her round kick.
Sesshoumaru moved to help Inuyasha but had to dodge Kiori's attack, she had become a force to be reckoned with. She wasn't using any of the attacks like the iron reaver or the poison claws even though he knew she had the ability.
She was using her martial arts only. Eventually she pulled out one of her swords and revealed a kiebo. 'She isn't using torssiaga' Sesshoumaru thought.
He glanced at her eyes, the link was reforming, only slightly but a speck was there, but he saw confusion hidden deep within her golden orbs. The demon lord decided he would ponder on it later.
Kiori was more skilled than he had imagined and it would take all of his concentration to defeat her, he decided then and there he wouldn't hold back against her, his little sister or not. He unsheathed the Tokijin and prepared to attack.
Inuyasha and Kagome had been exchanging blows for some time now, "Iron reaver soul stealer" Inuyasha shouted as he charged at Kagome, Kagome held up her arm to deflect the blows and ended up shoved a foot back and with a huge gash on her arm.
"Purification claws" She called as she retaliated, Inuyasha jumped back to avoid being purified, he finally decided to draw the tessiaga, he had stopped caring about who he was fighting, he drew winds to the tessiaga, "windscar" Kagome pulled out her yumi and drew it back, one of her arrows magically appeared she let the arrow go, "purity arrow" The glowing arrow clashed with the wind scar. The two forces fought against each other for a moment until the battle was interrupted by another arrow. The forces there was a huge explosion that blew everyone back about ten feet.
"The dead miko finally decides to show herself." Kagome said as she stood.
"I see you've switched sides." Kikyo replied as she emerged from the forest.
"Excuse me?" Kagome asked "Willing to repeat that?" she had quickly become confused.
"Ohh, have I confused the little brat already." Kikyo taunted
'digging her own grave.' Kiori thought shaking her head but smiling 'finally that bitch dies'
"Who do you think your calling a brat, Claypot." Kagome called, peeved at the dead whore. Kagome flexed her claws preparing to attack. Kagome tensed about to jump at the miko. "Kagome, Kiori, get back here now. You touch Kikyo and you will both pay dearly." Both girls heard it echoing in their heads.
Kiori and Kagome both growled. "When is he gonna let you kill her. He keeps talking about how much he hates her." Kiori jumped into the air and began to fly towards Naraku's castle.
Kagome gave Kikyo the darkest look she could muster. Lets just say if looks could kill, they wouldn't have to worry about losing Inuyasha to the depths of hell anymore, or Kikyo's next hundred reincarnations. "I will be the one to kill you Kikyo, just wait." Kagome straightened and took of in a similar manner as Kiori.
"Well that was an interesting encounter." Miroku said after a long moment of silence. The others just nodded. Sango gained a confused look on her face "Why didn't she kill her?" She mumbled though everyone heard her. "Explain Tajiya." Sesshoumaru demanded Sesshoumaru coldly.
Miroku glared at him but Sango simply ignored the demon lord, which thoroughly pissed him off. "It looks like the main change he made to Kagome's personality is he gave her the ability to hate. She has more reason to hate Kikyo than anybody else, besides Inuyasha, and she could never bring herself no matter what condition she was in to hate Inuyasha." Sango told them all thoughtfully.
"She must be destroyed." Kikyo said, speaking for the first time, the group had forgot she was there. "What do you want?" Shippou asked in a tone that put Sesshoumaru's to shame. "I would like to join your group to destroy Naraku."
Inuyasha faced the group and looked at each one individually. Sango had hold of the hirikotsu and had a look that promised death in her eyes, Miroku was pretty much the same only he was fiddling with the beads covering his Kazaana,
Kilala was growling her hackles raised high, Shippou's eyes actually flashed red (a/n not like Inuyasha's but like Seshoumaru's when he turns into a dog.), Sesshoumaru even gave him the don't-you-dare look, Jaken looked disgusted, Rin was to busy glaring at Kikyo from behind Sesshoumaru's pant-leg to notice Inuyasha.
Inuyasha finally turned back to Kikyo "Well its unanimous," he said Everyone except for Rin prepared to kill him there, screw friendship. Inuyasha turned to face the direction Kagome and Kiori had taken off "Goodbye Kikyo"he said as he began walking away
Everyone except Sesshoumaru and Rin anime sweatdropped but caught themselves before they fell and just stared on in wonder. Sesshoumaru just sheathed the tokijin and followed after his brother, Rin skipping along behind him. The others snapped out of it after a moment and scrambled to catch up with the inu's.
Kikyo just stood and glared at each of them as they passed, Sango paused turned to face Kikyo brought up her right hand and flipped her off.
She then ran to catch up with the others. Smiling so much the others wondered what she had killed.
-----------------------------------------
The BO - A large staff (about 2 M) used as a self defense weapon by the common people, who were not allowed to carry weapons.
The Yumi - The Japanese bow was the main battlefield weapon for the bushi until the 1530's. A typical Japanese bow is 2.3m length, made of bamboo with a string of silk and pine resin. An arrow is made of bamboo and bird feather. Bamboo is the best material for bow in the plant kingdom. Though inferior to modern composite archery bow in penetration and accuracy, it was a deadly weapon, too. Until the musket was brought from Europe in 17th century, the bow was most respected by bushi.
I know it's not the best writing in the world. Oh and I know I said no flames but I changed my mind. I like fire. Yes I'm a pyro maniac. Well R&R pleeeeeease. TT I beg of you.
Kikyo: not the best best writing in the world. Ha that's an understatment.
Sato: Did I ask for your opinion bitch
Nagi: Don't call her that she's one of my favorite characters
Kikyo: How sad your own little bitch doesn't stand up for you
Nagi hands Sato a ;ahem; large mallet
Sato: Die bitch
Audience see's Sato chasing Kikyo on and off the screen while swinging a mallet bigger than her
Nagi: See ya next time. Ja ne
Kikyo runs into Nagi and knocks her down Sato keeps laughing maniacally
Sato: and ideas on how to torture Kikyo would be appreciated
continues to chase Kikyo
