Red As Blood

Chapter 2

Trying to start over

When kagome got back to camp after training with her brother, it was all silent, not the peaceful silent either. Kagome didn't know if any one new about her new appearance or if she was a demon, she would have to handle that situation in the morning. Slowly she laid down with her brother watching her making sure she went to sleep. Soon she found her self in the wonderful world of slumber.

In the morning, or afternoon kagome woke to yelling. Slowly she opened her eyes to see what was making all the noise. After sitting up she wished she just slept through it all. There almost over her stood inuyasha glaring at her, sango was beside him glaring at him and miroku was holding sango back. Chicano was beside kagome glaring at the hanyou.

"What are you all doing?" kagome asked warily.

"Well see, this hard headed hanyou doesnt think that your kagome." sango spat struggling to get her hands on inuyasha.

"Well why do you want to kill him so bad?"

"Because he said he was ganna kill you, and that you were something taking over kagome." miroku answered for sango. Kagomes eyes widened as she jumped up to push inuyasha back.

"I am kagome you freakin baka!" She then hit him over the head with her fist. Inuyasha's eyes then lowered and then came back to hers.

"What happened to you?" he asked warily. Kagome frowned and sat back in her place cross legged.

"Well first every one calm down, I'll explain, even though I thought Chicano did." she then flashed him an angry gazed. He smiled weakly and laughed.

After every one found a comfortable place she started talking.

"Three days ago, I asked Chicano if he could help me be a demon and make me strong, so he told me I could be his sister." she then told them all about what happened three days ago. (A.N. you all should know in the first chapter.) As she ended the memory every one looked wide eyed at her. Miroku was skimming his eyes across her body and received a smack from sango and kagome. Inuyasha just looked down as if he was in thought. Slowly he rose to his feet.

"Kagome can we talk...alone?" she then nodded and got up fallowing inuyasha in the forest. After he stopped in his tracks making kagome almost bump into him.

"Why did you do this?" he asked with his head bowed.

"I wanted to be stronger." kagome stated.

"But you were strong enough as you were!" he then looked at her.

"Not to you I wasn't!" she tried to stay calm but images flashed through her mind. Tears were on the verge to escaping her invisible shield. Inuyasha then grabbed her arms.

"It doesnt matter what I think ok, you should have staid the way you were!"

"NO, I was weak, pathetic, and stupid!"

"No you weren't!"

"Thats not what you said!"

"It doesnt matter kagome! I just don't want you to be hurt!" he then forcefully hugged her. At first she struggled but gave up.

"It does matter inuyasha, I loved you! But you broke down my spirit years ago! Don't you understand im never going back, I'll never be weak again! Get off of me!" she then pushed him away.

"Kagome I love you too." he nearly yelled.

"Thats the thing inuyasha, I LOVED YOU...loved...loved..loved, I will never again love you! You killed me inside, you broke my heart..and I want to prove to you I can be strong! I don't care if I have to die trying, because if thats my fate, than thats my fate!" she then shoved away from him and turned ready to leave but was stopped when he grabbed her wrist and spun her around. His lips crushed into hers. Her eyes widened and then turned to anger, regret, and sadness. A hand flew up and smacked his cheek, making him pull back. Kagome then made there distant only inches apart and started to whisper things.

"When the jewel is complete, I will stay in this world to be its guardian, there will be no on...NO ONE...to take it from me, get that through your head. Kikyou doesnt deserve to walk this earth, she will never get the jewel, and if any one of you stop me, then that is were you step the line, I will kill her and you inuyasha if you even try to take the jewel!" she then swiftly turned and left. Leaving a very angry hanyou to let her words sink into his thick skull. When kagome got back she was greeted with a very happy kitsune tackling her.

"So what did you two talk about?" sango asked. Kagome then put on her happy mask, hiding away the pain and smiled.

"Nothing really, just had to set things strait." she then hugged then kitsune back. Soon after inuyasha got back to camp, he had a grim look on his face as he sat in the tree glaring at the miko helping sango prepare lunch.

Two weeks have passed and During those weeks kagome has trained with Chicano, she has became strong and powerful. Now she fights with her sword during battles. She changed her outfit also by going to a nearby village and got a black kimono, but she changes it with a pair of scissors. First she cuts the lower half of the kimono and tied it to fit her wait, she cut up the sides of it to her thighs. She took the upper kimono and cut near the belly to show her perfect flat stomach, and sewed it to fit tightly around her upper area. She cut off the sleeves and collar, she took the sleeves and strapped them around her arms.

Inuyasha has gotten edgier after he found out kagome was a demon and the little 'talk' they shared, every one excepted her, trusted her, liked her, but the stubborn hanyou showed otherwise. Soon kagome found a way to block him out of her head, which irritated him even more. Chicano grew worried everyday when he woke not seeing kagome and fell asleep with no kagome around. She spent all her time training, and he was afraid she was straining herself.

Kagome was in a large field not to far from Keades hut. She then decided to run for a while, she has become used to her new abilities. She even learned hand to hand combat with sango and her brother. Soon she took a step further in running and learned it was a bad idea, dust flew up behind her as she blasted through the forest for a couple of minutes until she found her self face a huge lake. As fast as she could she slid to a stop.

SPLASH!

"Stupid demon speed!" she yelled out after she came back to the surface of the water. Slowly she got out and rinsed her clothes and hair off. Sitting down she started to meditate, which was also something to calm her self. Her eyes then snapped open when she felt a presence, a demon with a strong aura. She then got up and slowly turned to face sesshoumaru. He looked coldly at her, she looked with the same coldness in her eyes at him.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I was just going for a run, what are you doing here?" she asked with anger, memories of what happened last time she saw the demon lord coming to her mind.

"I go were ever I want hu...miko." this made kagome smirk at him.

"You were just about to call me human lord sesshoumaru." she then unsheathed her sword.

"Indeed, you aren't strong enough to be a demon." anger and sadness then flashed in her eyes as she charged toward him with great speed, soon swords collided into each other and could be heard echoing through the forest as they fought. Kagome then dashed behind him and threw her sword in front of him to take him off balance, she then pushed him. He turned with greater speed, but he didn't see her, only felt a punching pain under his chin. He fell back but not on the ground. He looked down to see a smirking kagome with her fist once again connecting with his chin. Anger went through his body as he charged at her and nailed her to the ground violently. Her head bashed into the ground, and she gasped in pain.

"Don't ever punch this sesshoumaru again!" he hissed.

"Get off me. Your just mad because I actually hit the almighty ass of the western lands, deal with it, I can kick your ass any day!" she then found sharp nails at her throat. Slowly she reached down to her black obi and pulled out a small katana, she concentrated all her miko purification on it and when she saw the glowing blue surround it from the corner of her eyes she smiled.

"I couldn't land a claw on me, or your ass will be purified to hell!" quickly she put the small katana to his neck. He smirked.

"It wont work on me miko."

"Wanna bet." she then slid the katana across his neck and he winced, faster than she could blink he was off of her, and a slight pain came to her neck. Touching the spot that hurt she saw blood.

"It looks like we are even." she then got up, grabbed her sword and sheathed it. Sesshoumaru grabbed his neck when a searing pain went through it.

"You are a great fighter miko, you have earned my respect because you did something no one has ever could, and you are a demon miko." he then disappeared leaving kagome to let his words sink in. She decided to go back to camp, but taking her sweet time. When she got into the forest she heard some thing or rather some one. A little girl, she was whimpering. As fast as her feat could take her she ran to the girl and was surprised to see Rin. But she was not the only one she saw. There was a demon, quite handsome, shoulder length black hair, silver eyes, tall, and pail skin.(A.N sound familiar?) Kagome then jumped in front of Rin protectively. Rin was on the ground facing this demon with fear.

"Oh its you." he said smiling.

"What do you want! You better not of touched rin!" his smile grew as he peeked around kagome to the little girl.

"No no I just scared her. My my have you changed, your beautifuler than I last saw you." he then looked her down making her blush.

"Shutup, I don't even know you. What are you talking about?" she hissed.

"I am Sakuta, you may not know me but I sure know you. Me and my brothers say you near a creek a while ago, unconscious with a barrier around you." he then looked at her seductively.

"And you were quite beautiful laying there, all alone. If your barrier wasn't up, I would have taken you as mine." he then smirked when she backed closer to rin.

"I wont ever belong to any one, shut your mouth and explain why you are scaring Rin!"

"You have a dirty mouth kagome, why don't I clean it up." he then jumped at her, but stopped when her sword was at his throat. He smiled in a sickening way.

"It seems I will once again wait until you come to me. Maybe not in love or lust but for power. I am a great and powerful demon, one day you will come to me in search for this power." he said with anger lacing his voice.

"You're a little to high of your self. I will never come to you, never, now leave!" he then smiled.

"As you wish kagome." he then disappeared back into the forest. A shiver went down kagomes spine as she turned to rin.

"Are you ok rin?" she nodded and gave kagome a toothy grin.

"Rin was just scared, but you saved rin." she then jumped up and hugged kagome around the waist, she has grown over the years.

"Isn't sesshoumaru supposed to be here with you, or Jaken?"

"Jaken was saying mean things to rin, so rin left him, sesshoumaru-sama told us to stay in a clearing but rin got lost." kagome then sighed and grabbed the young girls hand.

"Lets go find them." rin nodded happily and fallowed the older women.

"Kagome, you changed."

"Yes rin, I am now a demon. How did you even know it was me?"

"Cause you kinda still look like you." kagome giggled at her choice of words and kept walking. She came to a trail that had rins scent on it and fallowed it. Her mind then started drowning in thoughts while she still fallowed her nose. She wasn't thinking strait and found herself bang into something hard but soft, falling back she closed her eyes, readying her self for the ground, but to her surprise it never came. Cracking one eye open she saw golden eyes boring into her own.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" rin yelled while wrapping her small arms around his leg. Kagome then stood strait up.

"Sorry." she then bowed.

"What are you doing with rin?" he asked.

"Kagome saved rin from an evil demon!" rin said while pulling away from the demon lords leg. He nodded and also stood up straight.

"Well I have to go back to the village, maybe we will see each other again, and settle the match." she then started walking in the direction of the village.
