Chapter 3. The first signs of her power.

Hi everybody!!! Thanks all of those that reviewed. I'm sorry for that cliffhanger; I didn't even realize that it was one. Sorry again. Anyhow on with the story!!

Kagome sighed as she pushed the mat aside and walked outside. It's been a week since she's been back in the Feudal Era. And she was becoming restless. She needed to complete the jewel. The jewel was calling to her. The calling was stronger now that Kikyo's soul had been removed from her body. Kikyo's soul had been in her body, because of the Shikon no Tama. The jewel wanted to preserve the soul of its precious guardian. And that's why in certain aspects Kagome looked like Kikyo. "Kikyo." Kagome whispered. It still hurt to see Inuyasha and Kikyo. However she had to admit that they deserved a second chance. She smiled as she recalled how much Inuyasha would smile when she was with him. He was truly happy. And that's just what Kagome wanted. Kagome sighed as she looked at the moon. It was full and was casting a luminescent blue light on the land.

Kagome head suddenly snapped up. She could sense it, four shards coming towards them. They were in a dragon youkai. Her power was increasing and that gave her the ability to know her opponents before they even appeared. She still had about three minutes, before he got there. She frantically looked around; she couldn't let the beast come into the village. He would wreak havoc. Making up her mind, she ran towards where the beast was coming. Kagome bit her lips as she felt someone following her. She knew that Sesshoumaru had been watching them since she came back. Why, she didn't know? Nevertheless she didn't have time for him. She needed to get those shards, they were crying out to her. She pushed herself harder as she was nearing her opponent.

Sesshoumaru had a hard time keeping up with Kagome. 'My brother's wench is quite fast for a human.' He growled as he watched go faster. She wasn't going to get away from him. He needed her. He was going to use her to get the Tetsaiga., his father's fang that was rightfully his. Sesshoumaru abruptly came to a stop as Kagome stopped a few feet away from him. She seemed to be looking for something. Sesshoumaru gently sniffed the air. He could smell magic. There was someone there. As on cue he saw the human wench in front of him, jump away as something crashed into the earth. He scanned the area, but he couldn't see anything. He growled, he didn't like it when he was kept in the dark.

Kagome easily dodged the attack. She couldn't see her opponent yet, but she could sense him thanks to the jewel shards. She quickly avoided some more of its attacks, before she decided that she had enough. She bent down and picked up a handful of sand. 'Sands of Time." "Show me the one that has to be punished for its crime." Kagome shouted, blowing the sand towards where she thought her opponent would be. Suddenly she saw as in front of her a dragon appeared. He was as huge as Sesshoumaru in his true form. He was completely black and had some red scales adorning his body. His Crimson eyes studied Kagome. "Shikon." He hissed looking at the half of the shikon around Kagome's neck.

"Want this?" Kagome asked clutching the jewel in her hand. "Then come and get it." She yelled as expected the dragon charged at her. 'Time for my powers to kick in.' she thought as she concentrated on her whole being. As on cue a bow and arrow made of blue electric power materialized in her hands. The energy crackled around her as she aimed the arrow. Her hair was blowing around her, making it seem like a black halo. Her silver blue eyes seemed to glow. Sesshoumaru without knowing it took a step back; his youkai instincts kicked in. Nevertheless he watched intently at the show of power.

Just as the dragon was about to bite her head off the arrow was released. The arrow zoomed through the air blue energy crackled around it and its tip glowing pink. At the last moment the dragon sensed the danger, but it was already too late. A light blue and pink light surrounded the beast. He gave out an anguished roar as he was purified on contact. The light soon died down and the thing left were some ashes that flew away with the wind. Kagome swiped her hand and the bow vanished. "Now that was easy." She said smiling. The four shards were floating in mid-air in front, with only a flick of her wrist and they were hovering around her. The shards were a dark color, but Kagome knew how to solve that. She touched each of them with her index finger and they instantly turned a bright pink. She giggled as they encircled her a few times, before finally merging with the big piece around her neck. "You're happy aren't you?" she asked delighted fingering the jewel around her neck.

However she quickly tensed when she sensed the Demon Lord behind her.  "What do you want Sesshoumaru?" she asked with a cold voice. She didn't even turn to look at him. This of course made the Taiyoukai of the West extremely angry. "Watch your tongue, wench." He said coldly. "My name isn't wench!" Kagome said turning around and glaring at him. "My name is Ka-Go-Me!" she answered emphasizing each syllable of her name. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at her, she was being disrespectful. Using his quick reflexes he tried to grasp Kagome's neck. He was surprised when he found nothing but air. Kagome was standing a few feet away from him and she looked bored. "Come one Sesshy, you need to chill." She said smirking. He wanted to rip her apart for calling him that. He narrowed his golden eyes at her. He wasn't going to show her how surprised he really was that she had moved that quickly. "I believe I asked you a question?" Kagome said leaning against a tree with her arms crossed over chest. "I, Sesshoumaru don't answer to a pathetic human like you."

This time however it was Kagome who narrowed her eyes at stubborn Taiyoukai. Kagome was about to give him a piece of her mind when he cut her off. "If you keep wasting my time, I will destroy that pathetic village over there." He was referring to the village where Kaede and the others lived. Sesshoumaru hadn't any time to react as he found himself on his knees and a blade pressed to his neck. Kagome was standing behind him with the blade in her hand. Not just any kind of blade, it was a purified little dagger. He felt as the purifying magic was slightly burning his neck. "My pup and people that I care deeply about inhabit that village." Kagome whispered coldly in his ear. "If you dare to attack that village; I will not hesitate to kill you Taiyoukai." "That village is under my protection, do you understand Sesshy." She said mockingly, even though he could feel the seriousness of her words.

Sesshoumaru felt as his eyes were now bleeding red. He was losing his control and his true self wanted out. "Wench." He growled, his anger growing even stronger. She dared to mock him. He was again taken back when he was released and she was standing a few feet away from him. Sesshoumaru stood up and dusted off his clothes. His snarled and showed her his fangs. Nevertheless she didn't even flinch. She looked him direct in the eyes. "I don't know what you're looking for, but I can assure you that you're not going to get it here." "So I advise you to leave." Kagome said with a voice that could match Sesshoumaru's any day.  With that she turned and began walking away.

Sesshoumaru of course didn't like to be ignored. His eyes were bleeding red. He was still fighting for control. However one thing was sure, his true self was demanding that the little wench's blood be poured. In a blur he charged at the unsuspecting girl. If only he hadn't done that. Kagome turned around and with a swipe of her hand a blue barrier appeared and knocked the Taiyoukai away. Sesshoumaru was knocked into a tree. He tried to fight the darkness, but it was a fighting a losing battle. The last thing he saw was Kagome's concerned face. His last thoughts were about stupid human wenches.

Kagome watched as he quietly lay there unmoving. She immediately began to panic. She didn't mean to hurt him that much. She knew that it only meant trouble when he woke up. She had embarrassed him. She had mocked him. Hell would have no fury when the Taiyoukai of the West woke up. He would surely want payback. And he would probably start with the village. She couldn't allow that. She had to lead him away from the village. Taking a last glance at him, she transported herself back to the village. She quickly walked into Kaede's hut. The others were asleep, while Kikyo and Inuyasha were missing. It was better this way, she thought as she picked up her white and blue backpack.  She quickly took out a piece of paper and explained her hasty departure. She then put it close to where Kaede was sleeping so that she found it when she woke up. Kagome then quietly knelt down next to her pup. This would be the hardest part. She didn't want to leave him, but if she took him with her she would be putting him in danger. She gently laid a soft kiss on his forehead, hoping with all her might that he wouldn't wake up. "Mommy." He whispered, making Kagome's heart break into a million pieces. Yet she had made her decision, looking back at her friends for one last time, she quickly took off into the night. She could only imagine Inuyasha's face when he found out that she had left and the reason after it.

Within a few seconds Kagome was standing next to Sesshoumaru again. She was glad when she noticed that he was still unconscious. She gently knelt down next to him. She gently wiped away some blood that was flowing out of a small wound on his head. She wasn't surprised that the wound was healing already. Then without hesitating she hugged Sesshoumaru. Kagome wanted to giggle when she imagined how Inuyasha would react if he found them like this. He would probably blow a vein. Yet she restrained herself. She slowly let the Taiyoukai go. She was now sure that Sesshoumaru would know her scent. She quickly stood up and took out a dagger; the same dagger that she used on Sesshoumaru. It was deadly, but beautiful. It had a silver handle that was decorated with blue gemstones. She quickly made a cut in her hand. Blood instantly flowed out of her wound. She then opened Sesshoumaru's mouth and let a drop of it fall into his mouth. Kagome had to cover her mouth, when Sesshoumaru purred. She couldn't believe it. Shaking the thought out of her head, she stood up and let some more of her blood fall on the floor around the Taiyoukai of the West marking the whole place with her scent and blood. Satisfied with this, she healed the wound.

She looked one last time at Sesshoumaru, before she took off running into the woods. She was sure that Sesshoumaru wouldn't back down from her challenge. She wanted to cry as she thought about the friends she was leaving behind. However at the same time, she felt giddy at confronting the unknown. With that last thought, she pushed herself harder. She knew that Sesshoumaru would awaken soon. And he would be coming after her.
