Summery: my first fic. with the Inuyasha gang all was not as it seemed but what happens when Kagome's secret is revealed? How will her friends react? How will their enemies react? Pairings KxI MxS and maybe some KxA

Thanks to the people who reviewed and everything else and thanks to prncsgigi for submitting your idea about Kagome learning to fight

—last time—

"TICKLE FIGHT!" Inuyasha yelled crossly

"If you say so" Sango said Jumping on Miroku to tickle him

"Keh, pathetic Inuyasha said as he left to find Kagome.

---This time—

"Kohana! Shippo!" Kagome yelled looking for the two demon children "ugh, where'd they get to now?"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" two children's screams pierced the peaceful afternoon sounds

"Kohana! Shippo!" Kagome gasped recognizing the screams, without a second thought she ran towards where the screams had come from

another short scream from Kohana followed by Shippo's cry of pain had Kagome running as fast as she could

When Kagome got to her destination this is what she saw: a huge Demon covered in spikes attacking Shippo and Kohana, shippo with a small purple spike sticking out of his arm standing protectively in front of Kohana who had evidently tripped and was lying on the ground sobbing

"Kohana! Shippo!" Kagome cried out to the two children running to them

"Kaa-chan!" Kohana said through tears "I fell and Shippo got Hurted and it's all my fault!"

Kagome's dog ears twitched and she grabbed both children and jumping just in time to avoid spikes shot by the Demon.

"Hanyou!" The demon bellowed "why do you interfere?! These are not your pups, are they!?"

"Close enough to it!" Kagome retorted

"Filth like you should not have pups of any type, hanyou!" it said sending a few more purple spikes their way

Kagome dodged them with her Demon reflexes

"My names not Hanyou, it's kagome!" she yelled looking for an exit. Once she saw one she bolted towards it but since she hadn't trained much with her hanyou speed she wound up tumbling forward but kept shippo and kohana safe by twisting to take the blow with her back. The demon took this opportunity to shoot more spikes at the trio.

Kagome's maternal/motherly instincts took over and she through the children aside knowing that if she used her body to protect them that the spikes could very well penetrate her body and hit the ones she was trying to protect "Kohana, shippo run!" she yelled at them "Now!!"

Shippo nodded tearfully at his adoptive mother then turned to pick up Kohana and started running

"Shippo-nii-san" Kohana whined "why isn't kaa-chan coming?" realizing that Kagome wasn't coming she started to scream "get up Kaa-chan, Kaa-chan!"

Shippo ran out of the clearing tears falling freely from his eyes as he left his adoptive mother behind.

Kagome watched shippo jump into the forest with Kohana in his arms and smiled but as fate would have it the spikes were still coming for her. She closed her eyes in anticipation but lucky for her the demon hadn't aimed too well in his excitement and only just grazed her arm with one of the three spikes the other two landing on either side of her stomach

"How unfortunate I missed" the demon said only partially upset "but that kitsune of yours should be in a lot of pain by now"

"Shippo, what did you do to him you over grown thorn bush!" she snarled

"he he he, wouldn't you like to know?" The demon asked teasing her

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO SHIPPO!?" Kagome demanded standing back up

""isn't it obvious?" he asked laughing "I poisoned him" the demon continued to laugh

"How" she breathed then remembered the spike sticking out of Shippo's arm "the spikes! There's poison in the spikes!"

"So you figured it out" the demon said his laughter dying down to a chuckle "too bad you don't know the antidote"

"What's the antidote?!" she asked panicking forgetting all about the fact that the demon wanted to kill her too

the demon smirked "a mixture of–"
