SBD: "AT A LONG-AWAITED ARRIVAL, I AM HERE AGAIN!" "LOVE MY GRACE!!!!!"

Stacy: "Woman, don't flatter yourself."

SBD: "Who are you calling 'woman'!? I am a 'girl'!!!" (offended sniff)

Stacy: "Either way, you don't own InuYasha."

SBD: "Doh!" falls off the table

Chapter 10: Power of an Ice Demon

Mikuro looked up suddenly, her eyes angry and ice cold.

"Wh... what is this about...?" Senshi heard a voice say as a hand landed on her right shoulder. She turned to see Kouga, holding a wound around his stomach and holding onto her for support.

"Revenge, I guess." Senshi said calmly. She winked at Kouga. "Congrats, you're her new best friend."

"I knew it." Kouga smirked.

Senshi smiled and put her arm around him to support him, turning her attention back to Mikuro and Naraku.

Mikuro had lifted her hand out to reveal some ice chips in her palm. They were sparkling for a good moment until Mikuro closed her hand. The sparkles spread out and revealed a sword... looking somewhat like Inu Yasha's Tetsusaiga in it's regular old rusty form, but with a dark blue handle. The blade, clear and sparklish, seemed to be made out of ice itself, for it had a cold, icy air around it.

"I wonder if the brat knows what she's doing. She seems hypnotized." Inu Yasha huffed to himself, although the others heard him anyway.

Mikuro's eyes were completley blank, but stuck in the light blue colour they had been while she was powering up.

Then, in a sudden instant where nobody knew what was happening, Mikuro rushed in front of her and swung her sword at Naraku.

Naraku was quick, too, of course. All he had to do was lean back a little bit in order to avoid the sword.

Senshi sweatdropped. She had been ready to watch some major arse-kicking, but it looked to her that Mikuro was completley unexperienced with her sword. She wasn't gripping it, and although her moves were swift, they were also sloppy. Mikuro's entire body seemed flimsy and fragile... It looked like the body of...

"WHY ARE WE LETTING HER FIGHT!?" Senshi suddenly screeched. "She's a ten year old girl, for gods' sake!"

"Shhh! You said yourself, Naraku is scared of her. There's got to be a reason." Kouga said with a small whimper.

The whimper caught Mikuro's attention, and she straightened up. "Koori Hariken!" She yelled out. (A/N: Koori Hariken- Ice Crystal Blade)

The air around the group seemed still. The miasma had turned into a light blue-white color, a Mikuro trademark.

And again, before anyone could blink, Mikuro charged forward again.

"He'll dodge again." Inu Yasha muttered.

Senshi knew differently. 'All she had to do was speed it up a little... go beyond herself...' she thought, as Mikuro's sword peirced Naraku in the stomach... the exact place he had hit Kouga.

Naraku made no movements. He smirked, laughed, and was suddenly out of sight.

"Creepy. What is that guy made out of?" Senshi scoffed.

"Lookit Mikuro. She looks a little oblivious, huh?" Inu Yasha whispering, pointing to Mikuro, who was kneeling in front of them, still.

Suddenly Mikuro's eyes glazed over again. Their normal dark blue shade appeared again, and the sword and miasma dissapeared.

"Wh... what?" Mikuro asked, looking at the confused group in front of her. "WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT!?!?!?!"

"Mikuro..." Kouga started, startled at the girls' unknown powers.

"YOU! SCRUFFY OLD FART! YOU HAD ME WORRIED!" Mikuro screamed, stomping up to Kouga and whacking him upside the head.

"Hey! He's injured already!" Kagome exclaimed, snickering. The sight of a ten-year-old girl hitting a big, strong demon like Kouga was a little too much to handle.

"Never do that again!" Mikuro added, her eyes tearing up.

"Mi... Mikuro? Don't cry! I'm fine!" Kouga began, holding his hand out to stop her.

"It's not that!" Mikuro said, sniffling and wiping away tears. "It's just..." The girl began laughing uncontrollably. "I GET TO BE YOUR NEW BODYGUARD!!!"

Senshi sweatdropped. Kouga face-faulted.

"Hey! Get ahold of yourself, man!" Inu Yasha screamed. Mikuro didn't even notice him.

"LET'S GO HOME!" Mikuro announced, leaving Kouga in Senshi's care and skipping off towards the den.

Kagome blinked. "H... hey? She doesn't remember..." She whispered to the others.

"Yeah. I gotta wonder what it was." Sango agreeed.

"That..." Miroku said knowingly. "Was her subconsious."

SBD: "Aaah! Relaxation!" "Well, now that Mikuro-chan's power is revealed, we must watch as she conquers them and excels them!"

Stacy: "Hey? Now that Miroku is back, what's gonna happen to Kouga?"

SBD: "I dunno." Oo "Maybe Senshi-bonding? Or babysitting?"

Stacy: "Why don't you let the readers pick?"

SBD: "Good idea!" "Hey, if you guys have any good ideas, post them in a review, m'kay? See y'guys next time! Adios!"

Stacy: "AMIGOS."
