Sorry for not updating. Microsoft Word kept quitting on me. Oh well. Anyway, here's the next chapter.

Chapter 13: Winds of Change

They woke up the next day happy and refreshed, but Kyoumi quickly went into a bad mood when Mitsu kept walking next to her when they went on their way to find more Jewel Shards.

"Can you move over?" Kyoumi asked, trying to sound polite but not managing to achieve it.

"OK, OK," Mitsu said as he moved over a bit, but keeping an eye on Kyoumi.

Kyoumi went on the other side of InuYasha to talk to Kagome.

"Ever since he saw me bathing he hasn't quit bugging me!" whispered Kyoumi.

"Have you ever thought it's because he likes you?" Kagome asked in a whisper.

"What?" Kyoumi's eyes widened.

"Well, maybe he is following you because he doesn't want you to get hurt... Or else he wants to be near you," Kagome said.

"Wow, it's taken you this long to realize that he likes you?" asked InuYasha. "I don't understand any love stuff and I realized it when he first walked into Kaede's house. That's why I let him come with us."

Kyoumi looked like she was going to slice InuYasha's head off with her sword and Kagome looked a little bit hurt about the love stuff. But Kagome ignored what he said and turned back to Kyoumi.

"Well, excuse me for being socially inactive, but have you forgotten that whenever I tried to talk to someone in my village that I got rocks thrown at me?" Kyoumi asked.

"Feh," InuYasha said, turning his head away from the two.

Kyoumi sighed and went back to where she was walking before and looked at the ground. She didn't even know if she liked this youkai! He seemed to get on her nerves way to much.

But then Kyoumi stopped, having caught a scent that was familiar.

"What is it?" Kagome asked, having seen her stop.

"Naraku. Either that or Kagura," Kyoumi said, looking up into the sky.

Kyoumi saw what she was looking for. She saw the bottom of Kagura's giant feather. Behind her was a few insects.

"The samiyosho! They're behind Kagura," said Miroku. "I can't use my Wind Tunnel."

Even though Kyoumi had been traveling with them for all that time, she had not yet seen Miroku use his wind tunnel.

Kagura landed in front of them and Kyoumi walked forward in front of the others.

"What do you want, Kagura?" Kyoumi asked with fire in her eyes.

"To see if you lived. And to kill you if you did!" she said, taking her fan and bringing it down, making huge blades of wind.

Kyoumi put her arms up and wished desperately that they wouldn't hit. A gust of wind hit her, but that was all... Kyoumi opened her eyes and saw the blades had stopped in midair, but were still spinning.

Kagome gasped and looked at Kyoumi.

Kyoumi had transformed yet again. Her hair and tail had become as silvery white as InuYasha's hair. Her eyes were a very light blue, and her kimono had become a white and light blue also.

Kyoumi caught a glimpse of her hair and gasped also. What is happening? I've transformed? How could that happen? thought Kyoumi.

Kagura looked like she was going to scream, but she stayed quiet and still.

Kyoumi smirked and put her hands out, sending Kagura's blades right back at her. I can control the wind! This is amazing!thought Kyoumi.

Kagura gasped and she was hit with her own blades, and was sent to the ground. She got up and smirked.

"Naraku will want to see you again, very soon," said Kagura as she took a feather from her hair and flew away.

Kyoumi was breathing deeply and she looked back at the others to see them all looking sorta scared.

Shippo jumped up and said, "That was so cool!"

Not very long, is it? But another amazing ability revealed
