Demon Medallion

Disclaimer: Read the one from the sixth chapter.

With Hojo

Hojo walked to the Higurashis' garage and opened the door.

"Hello, Mrs. Higurashi." He said, smiling, "Is Kag-" The poor boy screamed as his eyes blanked out and he dropped to the floor moving to the back of the garage twitching.

With Kagome

Kagome walked to her house alone on Friday. Her friends were taking a different class than her for Foreign Languages as they took English and she took Greek and her friends had a test coming up. They had offered to let her study with them, but she declined, not wanting to be a third wheel. She planned to stop by WacDonald's for take-out and check out the phonebook she had at home to see where she could find the restaurant Sesshomaru had talked about.

Her bag was heavier than usual today. Perhaps that was because of the pile of homework Sesshomaru had given her. She actually had to study today for Feudal History today that much. And boy, if she had to study that much and had lived Feudal History she pitied the poor people in her class that hadn't a single drop of knowledge, unlike she.

The young miko turned the corner and saw her house and walked in, tired from the long day of school. "Mom, I'm home!" She called out, only to see her house was empty. Kagome arched one of her eyebrows. "Where is she?" She asked herself. Kagome glanced around again, realizing Souta wasn't there either.

She went to her room and dropped her things off, bag and all. Kagome then went to the back of the house, where the well was. "Mom!" She called out. "Souta? Grandpa?" Kagome tried, but to no avail. They were gone. A line creased her forehead in thought and she went back into the house.

A thought struck her. Kagome went to the garage of their house, where they had their shop and artefacts. Kagome glanced around and saw a medallion. Somehow, it called to her. Her eyes lost their pupils1 and she walked towards it and reached out to grab it, wanting to put it on.

With Sesshomaru

The great demon sniffed the air as he left his classroom. "I smell the curse of a demon in the air, absorbing ningen.2" His eyes widened and he ran, not bothering to start his car. It would be faster to run at his inhumanly quick speed.

Sesshomaru knew where the deathly scent was coming from. Kagome's shrine. He was almost at Kagome's house and stopped, skidding like a car to the front of her house.

Sesshomaru put a hand underneath the coat of his suit and felt the Tokijin there. He still kept it in case of emergencies. None had happened while someone was under his care yet, so he just hadn't used it yet. Now he was preparing to. Kagome was in danger. The great youkai could smell her miko scent getting closer to the demonic scent.

He jumped into where he supposed the enclosed demon was- Kagome's garage, breaking a hole through it, the door being on the side of the house. He tackled her to the floor and grabbed the medallion.

Thankfully it had no effect on him, except for a small burn where he was holding it in the palm of his right hand. Sesshomaru stared into it, trying to see the people who had been taken so far. He saw Kagome's little brother, her mother, her grandfather and to his surprise, a classmate, Hojo.

Kagome started to try to wriggle out of his grasp. He was holding her with his left arm, in order to keep her away from the medallion.

It was trying to possess her. She was the most powerful person in the area that could be unknowingly seduced by its power.

Sesshomaru was unsure of how to break the curse and let the people trapped inside the medallion out. He tried one chant he had learnt would undo this type of situations.

"Midoriko Higurashi, Grandfather Higurashi, Souta Higurashi and… Hojo are released.3" Sesshomaru said, stuttering on not knowing Hojo's first name on account he didn't have one:-P

The medallion tried to conserve its energy and keep the four inside, but to no avail. They were brought out. To everyone, including it self's surprise, the demon was sucked from the medallion as well, the medallion breaking into five perfectly equal pieces.

"Hello, ningen." The evil demon said as it took form.

Author's Note: Ooh, cliffhanger! I wonder what the demon will look like! ;-D I wonder what it will be! ;-) Or who? coughKougacough I have to go:-P

1 - You know when people get dazed and lose their pupils in anime? That's it.

2 – Ningen means human in Japanese… I think…

3 – I made up Kagome's mother's name and I just was too lazy to write her grandpa's so I just made him have Grandfather as his name. Hojo magically has no first name:-P Mwahahaha!

Flames will be used to roast flamers' stories, even if they have none: E

I had a really mean reviewer who went really sarcastic at my story as my FIRST review for another one of my stories. I plan to roast him like a marshmallow and feed him to my little sister! No names will be mentioned. coughSnaxStixStuxcough
