Last Time:

As the being that captured everyone's attention came into view; Kikyo gasped, Miroku, Sango, and Aiko looked on in Awe, Kagome stood smiling, there in all their fiery glory were 4 giant Kaji Neko's flying through the air towards them. But it was the neko in the very front that drew their attention. Its coat was blood red, with black on its ears, paws and tail. (AN: think Kilala with a red coat instead of cream.) When the 4 cats landed, the one that had been leading suddenly transformed into a girl with blood red cat ears and tail, claws, fangs, and had blue cat eyes.

This Time:

Chapter 8: Mt Hakurei

"KAGOME-CHAN! Daijoubu Ka?" the girl asked as she ran over to Kagome and began to inspect her for damage.

"Hai Flame-chan, I am fine." Kagome answered the girl.

"So this is the hanyo royalty that you became friends with is it Kagome-chan?" Kikyo asked sounding slightly amused.

"What's so funny miko?" Flame asked distrust in her eyes.

"Did you not tell her of me? Why Kagome-chan I'm hurt!" Kikyo said pretending to be hurt.

"Who is she Kagome-chan?" Flame asked.

"She used to be my teacher before she left the village 2 years ago, but she is not the same woman she was then." Kagome said angrily with something akin to hate in her eyes.

"Yea! She's mean now! She wants to purify all demons wither they are peaceful or not!" Sota said.

"Is that so? Then why don't you try to purify me miko!" Flame said her eyes narrowing in distaste.

"With pleasure! You will be the first royal youkai that I've killed." Kikyo said confidently.

"Your welcome to try but its near impossible to purify me. People have tried before, but they failed." Flame said thinking that it was only fair to warn the human miko of her ultimate defeat.

Kikyo immediately spread her aura out trying to slow Flame down with purifying energy, it didn't work. "Is that the best you can do? That pitiful amount of purifying energy isn't strong enough to harm a child!" Flame taunted.

'Why isn't it working? It always slows them down at least a little bit! I guess that I'm going to have to try harder.' Kikyo thought as she poured more of her purifying energies into her aura. Then Kikyo's eyes widened a fraction when she saw a completely human looking girl where Kikyo was sure that Flame had been standing just a few seconds ago. 'Did I perhaps use too much of my powers? Or was the girl just weaker than everyone had made her out to be? This is a puzzle, well I might as well gloat and put her down, she challenged me and I won, pure and simple!' Kikyo's eyes took on a 'I'm-stronger-than-thou, kneel-and-kiss-the-ground-I-walk-on' look and she started to smirk at the human looking girl. "It appears as though you were not as strong as you claimed to be, and look what happened, I turned you into a human." Kikyo said smugly not noticing Kagome's smug look but she did notice Flames.

"Sumanee, did you really think that you could defeat me so easily? Onegai, I turned myself into a human! Like anyone else ever really could unless I let them!"

"Usoda! No demon has that ability nor does any half demon for that matter!" Kikyo yelled in disbelief.

"Your right," here Kikyo started to look smug again. "No other demon has this power, I have a pendent that allows me to go into any of my 4 forms at will." Flame continued ignoring Kikyo's smug look, and that look quickly slid off her face when what Flame had said sunk in.

"Iie! Iie! That's not possible! U…U…Usoda!" Kikyo said sounding scared.

"Iie, Iie I'm not. I'm telling the truth. Now you leave Kagome-chan alone or Mouka'll have to deal with you." Flame said very calmly but no one could mistake the dangerous glint to her now human looking eyes, as one of the large cats stepped forward with a low warning growl.

"What reason do I have to bother Kagome-chan?" Kikyo asked trying and failing to sound innocent.

"That is Kagome –San or –Sama to you, she is well respected in these lands to all the youkai and humans alike. If I hear that you have been bothering her, her family, or the demons that reside in her home and are part of her family, Mouka will deal with the problem, you. Is that clear?" Flame said in her 'Lady of the Eastern Lands' voice.

"H – Hai, Flame-Sama! This humble miko pleads that you will be merciful and let this poor soul live!" Kikyo begged her voice sounding very convincing, but her sent was filled with deceit.

"Flame-chan! Don't believe her! When I just looked at her aura it was filled with deceit, hatred, and malice!" Kagome yelled to her friend shuddering because Kikyo's aura was still spread throughout the area and all the evil vibes Kagome was getting from her was making her uneasy.

"Is that so? If that is the case then she must be taken someplace where she cant hurt anyone, do you have any suggestions Aiko-obasan?" flame asked in a slightly scary voice.

"Why, just a few months ago someone was telling me, a traveler I think, that there was a place that monks or priestesses were taken if they should go bad. We all wish that there was not a reason to have such a place, but unfortunately it is true. I believe that it was called Mt. Hakurei, if that's at all helpful Flame-chan." Aiko said digging into her memory. (AN: Right about here is where it was cut off so continue reading!)

"What? This is an outrage! I am NOT I repeat NOT a dark miko! How dare you imply such a thing Aiko-san! Are you saying that I am weak enough to succumb to evil? How dare you!" Kikyo yelled ranting on and on.

"Arigato, Aiko-obasan. That is most helpful. Demo, would this traveler have happened to tell you where to locate the Mountain? Datte then we could take this dark miko there now and get it over with." Flame said acting as though she hadn't heard a word that Kikyo had said.

"Hai, I believe that he said that it was a few days travel on foot and that it was to the North of here." Aiko told the group as she looked to the sky's to see if there would be any semi-immediate weather changes. (AN: I'm not sure if Mt. Hakurei is really in Northern Japan so forgive me if I'm wrong.)

"Did you not hear me? I said that I'm not a dark miko!" Kikyo yelled to the skies.

"Aa, Aa, we heard you, we just decided that it wasn't worth our time to listen to what you were saying." Flame informed Kikyo, voicing what we all were thinking, but just didn't want to say because we were used to seeing her in a good light.

"How dare you! You impudent little half-breed child! I deserve more respect than that!" Kikyo yelled outraged. By this time Kagome had finally figured out why Kikyo was yelling for all to hear about 'the respect that she deserves' and acting scandalized, it was because she wanted the other villagers to hear and come and decide that we were treating her badly and kick us out of the village.

"Flame-chan, once we get her secured, I would like you to meet someone, though they are your complete opposite of a cat. Would you please just give them a chance?" Kagome asked.

"Sure, if it means that much to you I will give this friend of yours a chance." Flame offered.
