Chapter 19-What's going on? Where's the dragon Miko?

She quickly jumped out of the way knowing that if he even touched her with his poison claws that it would only hurt her in a much worse way than she already was. 'Damn…I didn't think it was going to be this tough…seeing as how I'm a master and all.' She thought as she quickly avoided another attack. As she kept her eyes locked on his movement she heard his deep and somewhat emotionless voice say, "You are doing much better now young miko. However you have to be better before you can lay a finger on this Sesshomaru."

"You are to confident you know that?" Kagome stated as she stood up straight while reaching for one of her weapons.

"I see that you have been trained to use those weapons. This Sesshomaru is impressed."

"What you cut that out, we're not in the feudal era anymore and you are really starting to get on my nerves." Kagome hissed as she opened up her fan weapons.

It had been a week since she had started training with him and she had already picked up her speed to the point where she could keep up with Sesshomaru and his demon speed. Just as they were about to continue however, Rin walked in and said, "Kagome you're mother needs you at home. She said that she needs some help before tonight's party." as she walked into the dojo.

"Oh, well I guess that's it. I'll see you all tonight." Kagome said as she put her weapons away to go back home.

"Don't forget that you have to stay the night tonight with us. Your family has some room for them already set up so just make sure that they bring some extra clothing with them." Sesshomaru was heard.

"I won't…tell Inuyasha that he better not be later or else he is going to eat dirt." Kagome stated in an innocent voice. She and Inuyasha had been going out for some time but it was nothing serious. It was just so that they could get use to on another again and so that they could see how much they had changed over the years. So far Kagome was glad to see that he was still the same old Inuyasha she fell in love with. The only thing that bothered her was the fact that he was a lot more serious than before.

Once she was gone Rin turned to her mate and said, "It won't be long now."

"It would seem so; however once they have mated Inuyasha will not want to leave her side." Sesshomaru stated as he pulled his mate over to him.

"I know, but that is why Shippo has invited all of Kagome's friends over to our party. Once they arrive it will be easier for them to tell which one of them is the dragon miko before midnight." Rin stated as she closed her eyes.

"Come on, we don't want to be late to our own party." Sesshomaru growled as he easily lifted Rin off of her feet.

"Oh, god…I forgot how protective you get when I am carrying one of your pups." She hissed.

Meanwhile, Kagome got home and was surprised to see that her brother was also helping with the new years preparations. Once she had helped her mother with the dinner that they were taking and after helping her grandfather place up the good luck and protective spells around the house, Kagome went up stairs and got into the showers. Just as she had began to relax she heard a voice calling out to her.

"Kikiyo?" Kagome asked as she began to open her eyes.

"I need you to listen to me now Kagome. I don't have much time." Kikiyo was heard as she came into her vision. This didn't surprise her one bit. What did surprise her was the fact that she had opened her eyes to come face to face with Kikiyo and countless demons that surround the two of them.

"Kagome quickly stood up and asked, "What's going on? Why are there demons here?" in a somewhat calm voice. 'Why am I so calm about this?' she asked herself.

"We need to talk to you before it is too late." A demon was heard.

"Wait…why do you all need to talk to me?" Kagome asked in a calm voice. "I've never even met you."

"No, however it is because of you that we were not sent to hell. A part of you wanted to give us a second chance and now is the time for that to be cleared up." A female demon was heard.

"Uh…ok but I can't talk now. I have to get ready for the new years party. Can't this wait. I don't want everyone to worry about me." Kagome answered as she began to fade away.

"Do you chose to put a hold on this?" the oldest of all the demons asked.

"Yes, I will contact you all once I am ready." Kagome answered.

"Ok, but you can't keep us waiting that long. After you spend some time with Inuyasha you have to get a hold of us." Kikiyo stated.

"Thank you all so much." Kagome said before she faded away.

Just as she woke up, Kagome could hear her brother yelling at her to hurry up that they were going to be late. After jumping out of the water and into a towel, Kagome ran out of the bath room and into her room to get dressed. She put on a long midnight blue dress that had a long cut on her right leg. The cut started from her ankle to her mid thigh. 'I wonder if he'll like it? He better like it.' She thought as she walked out of her room only to come face to face with a speechless Inuyasha.

"Sorry if I kept you guys ready…I kind of fell asleep in the tub." Kagome answered as she walked pass him.

'DAMN! She looks hot!' he couldn't help to think as he followed her downstairs.

"It's about time." Sota was heard.

"Kagome dear, please don't fall asleep in the bath again." Her mother added.

"Yes mother…Inuyasha are you ready to go?" Kagome was heard as she couldn't help but smile at the look on his face.

"Uh…yeah, come on the limo is waiting for us." Inuyasha answered.

"That is so cool." Sota yelled as he ran out of the house.

"It would seem you are worthy of my granddaughter after all." Gramps was heard as he also ran out of the house.

"We'll meet you at the car." Her mother was heard. 'They need time to talk.' She thought.

"You look beautiful." Inuyasha breathed once they were alone.

"Thanks…but we should get going if we don't want to be late." Kagome said as she turned around to hide her blush.

"Kagome you really are beautiful in that dress." He growled as he got closer to her.

"Inuyasha…we're going to be…" Kagome began only to be silenced by a kiss.

Inuyasha had pulled her to him and had quickly slammed his lips on hers in a very passionate kiss. Kagome was in shock at first but the moment she felt his tongue asking for entrance Kagome forgot all about the party and wrapped her arms about his neck as she pull him closer to her. Inuyasha could smell her arousal and knew that she was enjoying it as much as he was. As he began to leave a trail of kisses down her jaw line and to her neck, he heard Kagome say, "Inuyasha…Inuyasha we have…we have to stop."

"Why? I know you want me." Inuyasha growled as he nipped at her neck.

"Inuyasha…we're going to be late." She said as she began to get control over herself.

"Fine, let's go." Inuyasha growled as he quickly pulled away and led the way.

Kagome knew he really wasn't hurt so she didn't say anything about it. She knew that he would later mention it; probably when they would leave for the beach in a week. 'I wonder if we're going to have fun? What are we going to do anyway?' she thought as she got into the limo and sat next to her mother. The car ride was silent and no one said a word. But when they reached the house, Kagome was surprised with herself when she let Inuyasha intertwine his fingers with hers. She knew that everyone knew that they were short of together but it still felt like a dream.

"Kagome?" Yuka's voice was heard.

"Yuka? What are you guys doing here? Wait since when did you guys become miko's?" Kagome asked as she was approached by her friends. 'Who told them about them?' she thought.

"Oh, we just got them senior year, we thought that you would think we were weird so we kept it a secret." Yuka answered.

"We?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah, sorry if we hurt your feelings." Amy was heard as she appeared.

"Don't worry about it; I've had mine since Jr. high." Kagome answered as if nothing. "Now if you will excuse me, I have to go and find my date." She added in a sweet voice.

"You better hurry, you it's almost new years." Yuka stated.

"Ha, ha…we still have four hours." Kagome stated.

Once she found Inuyasha, Kagome had pulled him aside and had began to question him only to forget all about her anger when he had kissed her like he had done at the shrine. As they pulled apart for much needed air Kagome took in a deep breath and said, "I hate it when you do that."

"Why? Am I that good?" he asked in a cocky voice.

"No, because I always forget why I'm mad at you." She whispered as she closed her eyes while he held on to her.

"Is that so…well now I know what to do whenever you get mad at me." Inuyasha whispered as he slowly began to kiss his way down her neck.

"Inuyasha." She moaned.

However their little moment was soon ruined when a very shocked Shippo was heard clear his throat before he said, "Uh…everyone is getting ready…we're waiting for you…Oka…Otu." before he left them alone again.

"Come on…I don't want them to think that wrong thing." Kagome said as she pulled away from Inuyasha.

"That isn't going to work…most of them are demons. They're going to be able to smell my scent all over you and you on me." Inuyasha whispered before he ran into the other room.

"I will get you back for that." She whispered as she walked into the other room only to have most of Sesshomaru's children look away from her. 'Great she thought.'

"Ok, every one stand with the one you want to say happy New Year's first and get ready." Rin yelled out as she began to hand out the cup of twelve grapes.

"Would you mind if you were by my side?" Inuyasha asked as he turned to face Kagome.

"You know the answer to that…come on let's go and get our grapes." Kagome whispered as she took hold of his hand and led him to Rin.

By the time everyone had their grapes it was five minutes until the New Year. Inuyasha kept his eyes locked with that of his son knowing that they were the only ones that knew who the dragon miko would be the moment she received her power. He was brought out of thought when he heard Kagome ask, "So what are we going to be doing at the beach?"

"Well, it's a surprise." Inuyasha whispered as he held her around the waist.

"Fine…be that way." She hissed. Just as he was about to say something everyone began the countdown.

FIVE

FOUR

THREE

TWO

Inuyasha turned to face his son only to find his son having his eyes locked with a girl that was standing rather close to them. 'Yuka…it has to be Yuka…I can feel the power waiting to be released.' Inuyasha thought

ONE

'Can Otu feel it two? It has to be that girl…it has to be the girl named Yuka.' Shippo thought as he kept his eyes on the girl.

'HAPPY NEW YEAR!' Everyone cheered.

Kagome felt strange, she could feel her powers growing and trying to escape but she wouldn't let it. She knew that this wasn't the place to lose control so she put all of her energy into controlling it. However what she wasn't expecting was for her to see a vision of the near future. She saw Yuka walking away with Shippo while she and Inuyasha danced. 'Why can I see this?' she thought. 'You know why.' A small voice answered her.

Meanwhile both Inuyasha and Shippo stared at each other in confusion. The power that they had felt building up had stopped and faded away until there was no trace of it. They had no idea what was going on but they did know that no one in the room was the dragon miko. They would have to start their search the very next day. Little did they know was that a certain miko in the room had hide her power so that she would not be noticed. 'I hope she doesn't get mad at me for not telling her.' he thought.
