Misa glanced up from dusting a shelf, her eyes clouding over before the trinket slipped from her fingers, her eyes returning to normal.
"Damn it." She hissed.
She shot forward, grumbling when the door didn't budge from the jam.
"Kagome? Kagome, please open the door!" Misa yelled.
Laughter that wasn't Kagome's answered her, making her hair on the back of her neck stand on end.
'Kouga, I need Kouga.'
"Don't worry Kagome, I'll be right back with help!"
Jumping back from the door, Misa took the stairs down two at a time, running out of the shop and down the street to where Kouga took George for breakfast.
"Hey beautiful, here to join us?" Kouga asked.
George took in Misa's sweaty forehead and heaving chest, glancing around for Kagome. "Where's Kagome?"
Kouga leaned back, furrowing his brows.
"Something happened, I left her alone to let the potion work and the door's locked and there's someone inside with her." Misa whispered.
George and Kouga shot up, ignoring the looks they were receiving before the three of them made their way to the shop.
"Kikyo couldn't have done this." Kouga mumbled, jiggling the upstairs handle.
Misa shook her head and shrugged, "whoever is doing this to her is stronger then we thought…"
"If you two are finished chatting, Kagome needs our help. So, if you'd kindly move your arses away from the door then." George said pushing the two behind him and pulling out his wand.
"Alohamora."
The door swung open, the three pouring into the room. Kouga narrowed his eyes and instinctively grabbed George, pushing him behind.
"You're human, you really want to attempt to run into the middle of that? Kagome's got her own score to settle!" Kouga hissed.
Misa inhaled sharply, "I'd heard stories from you… this is nothing I would have expected. You said she was dead."
Kouga glanced to his mate, "she gave a good act, everyone thought she was dead."
George narrowed his eyes against the barrier surrounding the two women in the middle of the room, "who is she?"
Kouga turned, giving the red head a hard look as he contemplated what to tell him. "Her name's Tsubaki… she hated the woman Kagome's reincarnated after and wanted the jewel, kind of makes a little more sense now."
"But she's dead?" George asked.
"Obviously not, she found a way to bind herself into Kagome. She probably could have taken control and had the jewel fully given enough time, she didn't anticipate Misa though."
Misa swallowed hard as she bit her lip, "can Kagome handle this?"
"She doesn't have a choice, we can't get in that."
George frowned deeper, his grip on his wand tightening as he watched Kagome cast a spell at the silver haired woman in front of her.
