Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters. I do own Kada, Shaneen, Corbin and Ren.
And I give you fair warning, I'm thinking of turning Kagura good. I read a really good fanfic on the Internet and she turned good in it. We'll see by the end of the chapter.

Chapter Eight

Ren smiled evilly as Kagome, Corbin, Kada and Shaneen came out of the temple. "I have to thank you for leading me to her." Corbin scowled as he drew his sword and got ready to attack. Kagome looked around, she noticed that Kada's look had changed. Her normally brown hair was now a bright blonde; the eyes were turning green from their normal color of a pretty blue. It hit Kagome that this was Kada's true form, not her real form and Kagome could see why. Kada was a little scary looking now and she had a strange marking on her forehead and cheeks. It reminded her of either ivy or an ancient drawing, she didn't know which. Shaneen stepped to Kagome's one side and Kagome turned to look at her. Shaneen still had her same blue- black hair but her pupils were tinting red. That was one thing that confused Kagome; she thought that when demons were angry, their whole eye turned red. Ignoring it for now, she turned back to see what Corbin was doing. He hadn't moved, but it was evident he wasn't happy. He hadn't changed, very much relieving Kagome. As she watched Ren smirk at them, her hold on the sword tightened until her knuckles turned white. "Now let me have the girl and you three can forget this ever happened." Shaneen growled at Ren. "That is certainly cocky of you." Ren laughed but never lot his smirk. "You would know Shaneen." "Damn you!" Shaneen yelled. Ren's stare soon changed from the angry protectors to the protected herself, Kagome. "I see the change has started already." Kagome swallowed hard and looked over at Kada. "Shoot." Kada muttered. "He's noticed."
Kagura smiled to herself as she sensed Kagome's presence. There.so she did go with a she-demon but as for the other two, I can't tell what they are. Speeding up, she thought to herself. Her aura has changed.but not much. This must be why Naraku wants her. An explosion caught her attention. That came from where the miko is.She went even faster to get there quicker, it wasn't on her agenda to fail again.
Kagome landed hard on the ground after Ren released his attack. After the smoke cleared, a huge crater had formed. He's strong. Kagome thought as she managed to get up and avoid getting struck by a deflected blast. Finding a temporary shelter from the fight, she watched as Kada first went up against Ren. It was evident that she was extremely skilled in magic spells as she slung a very powerful one at Ren. He barely managed to dodge it and launched one of his own. It hit Kada, hard. She slammed into the ground, shock across her face. She dodged that! But it followed her and still hit her! Kagome clenched her free hand into a fist, that's when she realized she still had the sword. Making sure Ren couldn't see her, she ran over to Kada. "You okay?" Kada sat up weakly, holding her stomach. "I've been better. You go hide again." Kagome watched her as she got up. "But-" Kada shook her head. "No buts." Kagome ran back to her shelter, defeated. It was looking hopeless to her though, why wouldn't Kada let her help. Shaneen was busy trying to break an energy-draining spell that had been placed on her, Corbin was trying to keep the demons that were attracted to the fray from getting in and Kada was fighting Ren. It's hopeless.A single tear fell from her eye and landed on the sword. Kagome gasped when it sprang to life, giving off waves of energy. Raising it and holding it with two hands, she stared at it. What's going on? It wants to.help? Kagome felt a force enter her mind and she shut her eyes to try and force it back out, but something stopped her. "Don't fight it." Kagome gasped. Who are you? "I am the force that guards that sword. It has chosen you Kagome." Me? "Yes. Now use it, you should be able to tap into its power. Take care of it and never let it fall into the wrong hands.we will talk again." The invading force left as suddenly as it came and the sword seemed loads lighter. Getting to her feet, Kagome took a deep breath. I've never used a sword before but I might as well give it a shot. But how do I tap into the power? Thinking for a second, the answer dawned on her. The sword had chosen her so as its master, if she became one with the sword, she could use its power. Okay Ren, I'll teach you to hurt my friends! Letting her mind clear, she felt a power coarse through her and the sword. Both of them started to glow as Kagome stepped into the open. "This ones for you Ren! Kada, get out of the way!" Kada quickly jumped back and Corbin turned to watch. Kagome brought the sword above her head then struck it into the ground, releasing the powers. Beams of light cut through the earth then raised up to Ren. It was a direct hit. As the smoke cleared, Kagome saw the Kada, Corbin and Shaneen were fine. "By God, she just did the Mark of Destruction.." Shaneen gasped. Kagome still stared at where Ren was; she knew it wasn't enough to defeat him. And she was right, he was standing right in front of her, though badly hurt.
Kagura reached the site and saw the mass destruction of the area. She noticed the miko holding a sword, facing a man who looked like he had gotten into a fight with rabid wolves and lost. "Damn you girl! But I'll still capture you yet." Kagura growled and opened her fan. "No you won't!" Releasing her spell, it hit him before he could even defend himself. He retreated and Kagura turned to them. Her eyes widened in shock. "You aren't the miko wench Kagome!" She shouted. Kagome blinked. "Yes I am." Kagura crossed her arms. "If you are, them tell me why you look completely different." Kagome walked over to a nearby pond and gazed in, she screamed in shock. Her hair was still black but not as wavy and her eyes were also a blue-silver, reminding her of Corbin's. The mark she had seen on Kada was on her forehead and cheeks but it wasn't the same one, it was similar to it though. "I did change." Kada walked over to her and nodded. "You are an Immortal now." Kagura took and unwilling step back. "Immortal?! No wonder Naraku wanted you!" Kagome nodded. "I had a feeling he would." Kagura shook her head and turned away. "You aren't going to capture me?" Kagome asked. "No way in all the seven hells! I am not given him an Immortal, he's already bad enough without getting any worse." Kada smiled at her. "You don't want to serve him?" Kagura glared at her. "I have no choice, he controls me through a strange crystal in my back." Kagome stood. "Let me see, maybe I can remove it." Kagura reluctantly let her look at her back. A sudden wave of freedom poured over Kagura's mind. What the.? Kagome walked around and handed her the small silver crystal. "There, you don't have to go back." Kagura smiled despite herself. "Oh well, thank you. I guess." Kagome smiled. "No problem." Kagura once again turned to leave. "Hey Kagura!" She turned and noticed they were all smiling at her. "What?" "Why don't you come with us, we could use your help." Kagura stared at the miko. "Even after all the times I have tried to kill you, you still want to trust me?" Kagome nodded. "It wasn't your choice, you were under control." Kagura thought it over for a minute then turned. "I guess it wouldn't hurt." Kagome cheered and hugged her. "Welcome to our little family." Kagura's eyes widened. "Family.." Pushing back her hateful side, she hugged the younger girl back. "Thank you."

Well, what do you think? I guess Kagura's good now but please don't send flames. I was touched by a fic and I decided to give it a whirl. And here are the undated votes:
