Chapter 4

"Power of the inner demon"

Everyone was now sitting around the fire, waiting for lunch to be finished. Kagome was cooking fried fish, since she didn't have her book bag on her this time and didn't have the normal lunches packed. She sat attending to the fire and to the fish with a happy Shippo in her lap. Sango sat across the fire, with a sleeping Kirara in her lap. Miroku sat next to Sango holding a cold wet rag to his left, and now black and blue eye. When he first saw Kagome he tried to rub her butt once more and well not knowing her own strength she punched him, hard.

Inuyasha was off somewhere and it was getting Kagome worried and of course even more pissed. She couldn't pick up his sent anywhere near by and he has been gone for a few good hours now. Everyone else figured he was pissed at Kagome and needed some time to calm down before joining them again. Shrugging it off. Kagome finished cooking and handed it out to everyone. They all ate in silence some still hungry for the fish where very small and not much of a meal.

A little while after eating, and while they were cleaning up. Kagome picked up Inuyasha's sent near by. But the other sent she picked up as well got her fuming. The sent was of graveyard soil, and death, not to mention the sent of demon arousal. She growled and tightly put her hands in her fists. Scowling at the fire she stood and stormed off in the opposite direction the sent came from. How could Inuyasha do this to her? After all that he has put her through already? This was just getting her more pissed off at him. It was going to take a long time till she could forgive him again.

Miroku, Sango, and Shippo all watched as she stormed off and gave glances to each other then shrugged.

"She must need some time her self." Miroku stated as he sat back down next to the now smoking pile of ashes from the lunch's fire.

"I guess so." Sango said taking a seat next to Miroku. "Hope she comes back soon. We really need to head out soon."

Miroku and Shippo just nodded in silence as they looked off in thought.

Kagome continued on walking at a fast pace. She was looking for a quiet peaceful place where she could meditate to calm down. Lady Keade taught her that if she needed to calm down. The best way was to meditate plus she said it would help her control her miko powers, and develop them to become stronger and so on and so forth.

She soon came to a clearing in the forest. In the clearing was a small lake with small water falling into it. Keeping the water circulating and cleaner then most water found. She sat down near the edge of the water and closed her eyes as she enjoyed the peace and quiet and began to meditate.

Her peace and quiet didn't last that long. As a loud shriek of a little girl pierced through the air. And sure enough just as Kagome stood and faced the direction it came from, a young girl came bounding though the bushes. Tripping over her own feet to land right in front of Kagome. Kagome looked down at the girl as she looked up at Kagome. Her long brown hair stuck to her face, and her chocolate eyes were full of fear. The girl didn't move until a toad/imp yōkai came bounding through the bushes also yelling. "Run!" The little girl obeyed and ran past Kagome to hide with the toad/imp yōkai in the bushes behind her. No sooner where they out of sight a group of many different yōkai came charging through the bushes as well.

"Where's the girl? And the toad?" The bigger of the yōkai asked. His voice was so deep that Kagome could feel the ground tremble beneath her.

"I will not let you get to them!" Kagome glared at them and flexed her claws as she readied herself into a fighting stance. She wasn't going to let these yōkai get to the other two, no matter how badly she was outnumbered, and that she wasn't used to fighting in this new body yet. What a good way to learn.

The group of yōkai broke out into loud laughter. "Look at the week Half-ling trying to protect the weaker ones!" One yelled out.

"Why don't we teach her a lesson at not to disobey our little group?" another in the front said. Kagome watched, grossed out as he licked his lips and blinked at her.

"Let's get her!" The leader yelled out as they advanced at her.

Kagome gulped but didn't break her stance. 'I can do this! I can do this!' She chanted over and over again, as they neared. She was badly out numbered thirteen or less to one. But it didn't stop her from taking out the first few with ease. She wasn't going to use he miko ability's yet, until she really needed to use them. She continued to fight using just her feet, fists, claws, etc. And she wasn't doing so bad for a beginner but that didn't last long.

She was now up against one of the bigger and stronger ones of the group. She brought it down to the last six and biggest of them. She was just thrown back a few feet and into a tree. She stood wobbly at first as she regained her strength. She was painting heavily and whipped the blood from the corner of her mouth as she all gave them a hard looked then charged at them again. She couldn't explain where all this strength and energy came from. But she was enjoying it and was having fun. Having fun killing something? Man she really did change a lot. She was going to have to thank Inuyasha one day for this.

She took down three more of them with a bit more trouble with the first. She stood on one of the clearing, in front of the area the two where hiding. While the other three demons recouped from the knock out she gave them. She then over heard the two hiding, talking.

"Who is that wrench?" The toad asked in an annoying voice.

"I don't know. But she reminds me of Lady Kagome." The girl said softly.

"Stupid wrench! Kagome is not a hanyōu!" The toad yelled his voice squeaked, causing Kagome to wince lightly in annoyance.

What Kagome didn't know was that she was being watched closely by a pair of golden eyes, hidden very well up in a near by tree top.

She then tuned them out as she faced on of the other yōkais. The other two yōkai where sitting back watching with grim faces. Apparently they had a plan and thought it was going to turn out exactly the way they wanted to. But that didn't happen. It took Kagome a bit longer to take his one out, and she had to use some of her miko powers to do so. She had suffered a lot of injuries from the last one. She was down at one knee holding her left arm with her right, which was covered in blood and dripped into a small puddle on the ground. You could plainly see the deep gashes on her legs and stomach through her torn clothing.

She stood, losing her balance for a second but regained it quickly. She glared at the last two standing before her, laughing with smug faces. She knew she wasn't going to last much longer, she was already starting to feel light headed from to much blood lost. She blinked her eyes several times to rid the blurriness that filled them. She decently wasn't going to last. But at least she tired right. As she watched the last two advances towards her, she couldn't move from her spot too afraid of falling over. But she wasn't going to give up. She wants going to let them get the girl. She just couldn't! That's when she lost it. She started to see everything a red haze. She felt her strength return but she lost control of her body. She couldn't stop it from charging at the two yōkai.

It wasn't long before it was only Kagome standing in the middle of the field. Panting and breathing heavily. She looked around to see if any survives where left, only found to be surrounded by dead yōkai bodies all around her. And it wasn't enough she still needed to kill. To hear the screams as the life was ripped out of them. Her eyes then lay upon the two hiding. Her eyes still a blood lust red. She slowly started to advance on them, closing the gap in only a few graceful strides.

Kagome begged and pleaded for it to stop. To regain control and not harm them. But she wasn't having any luck. She advanced very quickly and stood only a few inches in front of them now. How could she loose control so easily like this? She could only stand and watch the scene play out in her mind like a horror movie and was helpless. As it reached out for the girl it was stopped mid way. The last thing Kagome remembered was the look of happiness on the girls face, as if though someone had come to save her, and the searing pain in her back. She regained control as she felt weightlessness of falling and the black cold world of unconsciousness.
