koski- thanks for your review even if it wasn't for the last chapter

Kagome and Inuyasha were both confused by Kagome's display of powers. They were abruptly taken out of their thoughts when they heard the bushes moving and leaves crunching in the ground.

"Where did you idiots take off to," yelled Sesshoumaru forgetting his calm composure, "I specifically told you to come back to the meadow did I not."

"But Sesshoumaru we couldn't find you," answered Kagome.

"Haven't you learned anything," he glared as he tapped their noses, "Your noses are not just there for decoration."

"But we couldn't pick up your scent," cried Inuyasha.

"No matter you should have…," before he could finish his sentence he sniffed the air.

Walking around the clearing he found what he was looking for a discarded sword and daggers. These are demon weapons. Did they, no impossible. Turning around abruptly he glared at both children.

"Where did you get these," he asked in more calm but still scary voice.

"From a demon," Inuyasha replied shaking.

"Did you fight a demon," he asked circling both children.

"Yes," they both replied.

"What type of demon was he," he questioned.

"A phoenix demon," replied Kagome as she stared at her feet.

"A phoenix demon impossible they are nearly extinct," he growled, "Tell me exactly what happened."

Both children stared at each other and then began the tale. Inuyasha began to tell the tale first of how the phoenix Hiroke cornered Kagome and him into the trees. He also told him how he began to threaten Kagome when he decided to fight. Then Kagome told him about how the long the fight lasted and what new techniques they learned and everything. They saved the best for last because they needed explanation of their new powers.

"Sesshoumaru when I clawed at Hiroke lighting came out of my hands," Inuyasha said as he stared at Sesshoumaru, "what was the lighting from?"

"That is a demon attack Inuyasha. The lighting attack you are talking about was your demon energy fused into your claw like attack."

"Cool." Replied Inuyasha as he sat down on the grass.

"Um Sesshoumaru I didn't have a special attack but when Hiroke tried to hurt us again I put up a purple barrier but I don't know how I did it." She said as she saw Sesshoumaru motion for her to continue. "The barrier blasted Hiroke when he came near us and he turned to dust almost."

"That would only be because he got purified," answered Sesshoumaru calmly.

"How could I do that I thought only spiritual people could do that," Kagome questioned.

"That is because your mother was a priestess making you gain some of her powers," answered Sesshoumaru.

"Sesshoumaru what does a priestess do besides purify demons," asked Inuyasha. He was worried about Kagome. What if she purifies herself on accident will she die? I don't want her to get hurt.

"A priestess heals the sick she works as a doctor or medicine woman. She must also purify demons when they are a threat or just for kicks. She can never leave her duties unless someone else will be willing to take her place. She also is considered to be the most pure person such as not dirty by demon blood or weak human blood."

So Kagome is better than me. I'm tainted but she's not she's pure. She should leave me or will. After that speech who wouldn't.

"But Sesshoumaru I have demon and human blood how is…,"

"This is a rare occurrence that you survived. Most demons born with miko powers purify themselves at birth or go insane and die at a young death. You were lucky."

"Okay," smiled Kagome.

"Okay," both brothers gaped. Does this girl not understand the strength behind all her powers. It is difficult to admit that not even I a full demon could overcome her in battle if she was properly trained.

"Yeah so what I'm just a little bit different than you guys no biggie," Kagome smiled again.

"But how can you be so calm about it," asked Inuyasha "doesn't it scare you?"

"No, not really should it?"

"Only that maybe you could blow up or something," replied Inuyasha.

"I highly doubt that brother besides I think we have had enough training for today. We must head back to your home," answered Sesshoumaru as he began t walk out the forest back to Inuyasha's hut. I hope Sakura does not scream at me too much for letting her son be injuried. Last time my ears were bleeding by that woman's screeching.

"Sesshoumaru," asked Kagome hesitantly, "can we get cleaned up first?"

Who ever said all half-breeds were dumb had to be stupid themselves. Brilliant now I will not get in trouble because of Kagome and Inuyasha's stupidity.

"Of course," Sesshoumaru replied as Kagome and Inuyasha raced off to the stream to clean up. Even though Kagome has miko and demon blood flowing through her I can not understand how she would be able to put up a barrier that fast. Many mikos have to train months just to produce a simple barrier.

"Sesshoumaru, Sesshoumaru hey," yelled Inuyasha as he pulled on Sesshoumarus boa earning him a growl and bump on the head.

"What you do that for," Inuyasha asked as he rubbed his head.

"You were pulling something that does not belong to you little brother," he sneered, "come we must hurry back to your house it is getting late."

"Okay," they both replied.

"Sesshoumaru," Kagome asked quietly.

"What is it now," he questioned.

"Do you want to play a game," she asked.

These stupid half-breeds never know when to shut up. A game couldn't be that bad could it? No half-breeds are too stupid to think of intelligent games or skills.

"Yes I will only if you both of you shut up," he replied. Little did Sesshoumaru knowing what game and the devilish grins on both Kagome and Inuyasha's face. He was in for a rude surprise.
