Kagome had been walking for a long time, she was following Naraku's aura. Her powers had grown so much in a short time it was startling initially. But now she understood what her powers could do and she was afraid of nothing, not even Naraku. She walked into a clearing and her clear pealing voice rang out with a slight edge of ice to it.

"Naraku, I know you are here, show yourself. I have something of great importance that I need to discuss with you." She said and watched a tendril fly out of nowhere and stop just before her eyes. There was a light pink shimmer around her as a barrier surrounded her in a moment.

"Hmm. Very good priestess, seems that you do have sense enough to protect yourself, it seems your powers have grown exponentially. Is there something behind this I wonder?" He said as he lowered himself down to where she was.

"If you are referring to the Shikon No Tama I have absorbed it into my body. It has increased my purification powers. It seems the Shikon knows that it is not time yet for them to be out of this world and have chosen my body as a temple once more. In doing so they have opened up to me all of the functions of my powers. But that is not what I am here to speak with you about."

"You have changed Shikon Priestess. Very well I will listen to you, what is it that you have to say that is of such importance."

"You as well as I know that the rival clan leaders have raised up and they now plan to take over everything. We both know that you are not the largest threat on the board anymore. There is a saying: 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.' We are in that situation Naraku. I come here asking for your help, with you and someone else, I will be able to take out those leaders and restore this land to what it was before. Then if you wish we can have your final fight."

"What makes you think that I would help you Kagome? I am your enemy after all and have done nothing but wish you dead on many occasions, in fact you are in front of me now with the completed jewel inside of your body. What is to stop me from killing you and taking it?" Naraku said darkly as he sniffed her neck, there is no fear here, interesting.

"Because you are not stupid Naraku, I know it and you know it. It would truly be stupid to try and kill me like this and you know it. My human emotions may get the best of me any moment and the rage I feel is like nothing you have any comprehension of. But I do not come asking you this empty handed. If you help me defeat these rebels, I am prepared to become your mate, and I will give you a gift."

"Hmm…and what is this gift?"

"I will make you full demon."

"You cannot do this, you do not possess this power."

"Very well." Kagome touched him and he felt the most blinding pain he ever had, but sure enough when it was over. He had solid human like form and could feel the beast within himself, the woman had done it!

"You have done as you said, and the offer of mating and corrupting you dear miko is very tantalizing. I do believe I will take you up on this offer, what you said is all true. But who is this other that you need to complete your plan I wonder?" Naraku asked with a sinister sneer.

"Sesshoumaru-sama,"

"Oh I shall come along just to see this miko. This will be interesting to see how you get the ice lord to cooperate with your plans."

"Very well, let us depart." Kagome said, the plan was going well so far. She just needed to get Sesshoumaru on board, which would be a pain in the ass.
