Chapter 2: Innocent Blood Spilt

"Hey Kiyo!" Kiyo turned around to see some of her friends following her. She slowed her step reluctantly waiting for them to catch up.

"Oh, hi guys" Kiyo forced a smile to her face. She didn't really want to hang around today…something was bugging her but she couldn't quite place it. She needed to get home and soon, she felt it in her soul.

"What's the matter?" Yakima, one of her friends, asked more than a little worried. She had noticed Kiyo seemed distracted that day and was worried about her.

"Oh nothing… I uh, I gotta go see you!" Kiyo walked away, it took everything she had not to just run like her father all the way to the Higurashi Shrine. 'What's the matter with me?' she thought, 'Why am I so jumpy?'

"Grandma I'm home." Kiyo called out as she entered her grandmother's shrine. She looked around her, waiting for her grandmother's response. She took of the necklace that hid her demonic powers and sighed contentedly as her inu senses returned. Her silver inu ears twitched, she heard a slight shuffling that indicated her grandmother was coming towards her.

"Oh Kiyo so nice to see you. Are you going to be staying for dinner?" Mrs.Higurashi smiled at her granddaughter. She reminded her so much of Kagome when she had been her age.

"I don't know, I don't think I should…" The feeling of dread squeezed the hanyou's heart. Something was going to happen, something bad…she could feel it. But she didn't know what she could do to stop it.

"Nonsense I've already made enough for both of us!" Mrs.Higurashi took her granddaughter's arm and drove her into the kitchen. Of course she knew the girl could break away anytime she chose, but she knew the girl would humor her.

"Okay I'll stay…." Kiyo sighed resigned.

Northern Lands

"What's that smell?" Kagome lifted her nose to the air sorting through the scents on the wind. A slight metallic scent had caught the miko hanyou's attention. "Blood!" The raven-haired hanyou soon identified the scent with horror. The miko ran back to her village as fast as she could only to arrive to see the village slaughtered. "Who did this?" The woman questioned herself quietly and with remorse. She sorted through the scents and noticed a faint familiar one. She quickly glanced into the air and saw a white feather floating high in the air. With a sense of dread the miko hanyou pieced the two together… "KAGURA!" She yelled hoping she was wrong but knowing she wasn't. "Get down here right now."

"I'd rather not…" The wind sorceress called back down to the miko. "I think you should concern yourself with the other demons first."

"Other demons what are you…" Kagome spun and saw herself surrounded by hundreds of demons. How had they managed to sneak up on her? She crouched low getting ready to defend herself.

Up Above

"Who is that woman, and why does Master Naraku want her?" The boy reclined behind Kagura watching the battle with little interest. His raven inu ears could pick up every sound of the ensuing battle below.

"A past problem Kanayae nothing more." Kagura looked over her shoulder at the hanyou behind her. He looked like his father, there was no denying that, and it was easy to see. His black haori had been designed to enhance that likeness, to what end Kagura didn't know. It was just another twist to Naraku's newest plot.

"A past problem yet he wants me to revive her once he's done here." Kanayae sighed. "Why bother killing her if he just wants her alive?" Kanayae questioned. He hadn't learned not to question

"It is none of your concern…. leave well enough alone Kanayae." Kagura had grown attached to the young hanyou over the years; she didn't want Naraku to decide he was to 'curious' and do away with him.

"Yes Kagura." Kanayae returned his eyes to the battle below.

Down Below

"SILVER SOUL STRIKE"

(A/N: in this fic Kagome's a half demon her attacks are silver soul strike and blood sacrifice, she also has a sword…. its attack is sacred light.)

Kagome attacked the first few demons, but some still managed to get through her attack. The woman gritted her teeth and reluctantly drew her sword. "SACRED LIGHT." She slashed the first few with the sword itself but blades of light continued to go around the village killing demons. Kagome smiled and got ready for the next attack, but it didn't come from where she expected.

"Naughty, naughty… you shouldn't be playing with swords." A blood red fire surrounded her hand, causing it to burn and make her drop the sword. Kagome snarled and looked up. Next to Kagura she saw a hanyou boy about sixteen, the silver hair and black inu ears snagged her memory. She gasped, unable to contain her surprise.

"Kanayae…" She whispered. Tears threatened at the corner of her eye's but her expression soon hardened. "What have you done to him?" She demanded of Kagura.

"Nothing my dear." A cold emotionless voice mocked. Kagome spun around and saw the familiar figure of a white baboon striding through the chaos of the village.

"Naraku!" The woman spat out in contempt. After all these years he had managed to stay alive and elude the efforts she and her friends had made to make sure he was in fact dead. "What have you done to him?" She demanded her voice taking a low and deadly tone. "His powers are the color of blood they used to be the color of the sky. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"

"I helped him… as to why his powers are now that particular shade… it could be because they were used for killing." Naraku enjoyed the look of shock, horror and revulsion as they crossed the hated miko's face. Yes! Fear me hate your son! Taint the Shikon no Tama you carry and then leave it for me to once again use!

"You bastard! I'll kill you!" The raven-haired miko hanyou leapt at the hanyou, attempting to kill him. However many demons had surrounded the two of them while they talked. The moment Kagome leapt they all attacked. Many fell from the miko hanyou's claws and sacred powers, there were to many though. Kagome collapsed onto the ground, her blood pooled around her from the multiple wounds. A cold sinister smile crossed Naraku's face as he slowly approached the dying woman.

"You're mine now Kagome…" The hanyou whispered in barely contained excitement. "Even if you die you're mine…Kanayae will see to that. Don't worry, he'll make sure you don't remember anything...I promise. But I will require you to give me the jewel…and perhaps…this interesting sword." He stopped to examine the sacred sword Kagome had wielded. As he reached down to pick it up a pink fire burned his hand. A malicious smile crossed his face. "Oh a barrier is there… no matter no one can wield it now." He finished his approach and knelt beside the nearly unconscious miko. "You're mine now. No one will save you."

Those were the last words the unfortunate miko hanyou heard before the darkness claimed her and took her life.

There you go that's the end of that chapter again read and review.
