Chapter 22

Kagome's POV

I watch as Runi charges at us with her eyes glowing red. As if on instinct I erect a barrier around Sesshoumaru and I. Runi hits it head on, giving her a great shock with my Miko Powers, with the force she hit the barrier at she is thrown back through the open doors that lead out to the garden.

I let my barrier down and Sesshoumaru quickly lets go of my hand, draws Tokijin and runs out the door. I quickly follow him out the doors, there is no way I am going to let her hurt Sesshoumaru.

I will my Miko powers to come out into my hands, this demoness is mad at me for being Sesshoumaru's mate, well lets just see how powerful she really is.

I run towards them, I focus my right hand towards the demoness, when I get a good shot I let a ball of energy fly at her. She is to preoccupied with Sesshoumaru to even see my attack until it hits her, sending her backwards into a tree.I step in front of Sesshoumaru with my Miko Powers ready.

"Sesshoumaru, step back, if she wants a fight, I will give her one."

"OK Mate."

I hear him sheath Tokijin and then step back away. Once Runi recovers she starts walking towards me, her hands are glowing a ere black.

All at once the sky darkens and clouds appear, coving the sun up. I know this is not weather doing this, I can feel the demonic aura's in the air, heading straight for the castle.

I look up at the sky, there are too many demonic aura's for me to even count. My head snaps down in front of me, Runi is standing there, laughing like a witch. Soon she stops and looks me right in the eyes.

"Are you scarred, Lady Kagome."

She says the Lady Kagome part with as much hatred as she can. I glare at her.

"Not one bit, I can tell by all the demons you summoned that they are all low level demons. I can purify them right to hell."

"O you think so do you."

Suddenly I feel 5 aura's that I really didn't want to feel. I hear Sesshoumaru growl and before I know it, he is at my side. A cloud of miasma appears beside Runi, when the cloud disappeared there stands Naraku in all of his glory with Kagura, Kanna, Hakuroshi and a new incarnation of Naraku's. He smirks and me and says.

"So do you enjoy being the Lady of the West, Kagome?"

Sesshoumaru draws Tokijin," You will die today half breed."

He sends a attack straight at Naraku. Soon Inutaisho, Inuyasha, Kikyou, Sango and Miroku some running out of the castle towards us with their weapons ready.

I see that even Inutaisho has a sword. I watch as Kirara jumps off of Sango's shoulder, she instantly transforms. Sango jumps onto her back, holding her Hirako behind her as Kirara jumps to the sky to fly above us.

Inuyasha, Kikyou and Miroku stand to the right of us, Inutaisho walks over to our left. I look out the corner of my eye as Kikyou walks towards me with another bow and case of arrows. She is at my side quickly, she holds the bow and arrows out for me to take them. At first I don't take them.

"Take them. You are going to need them." She says in her emoituinalist tone.

I quickly take them from her, I slide the case of arrows onto my right shoulder for easy access. I take a arrow out and point it at Runi.

"Runi you must be really scarred that you are going to lose to me if you brought Naraku, all his incarnations and all these demons into it."

"I am not scarred of a Miko. Sesshoumaru and all of your friends will watch as I take care of you Miko. Then Sesshoumaru will be all mine."

"That's what you think Runi. Killing me is going to take a lot more then you."

"We will see about that Miko."

"We will Runi."

I release my arrow for Runi. It flys at her, glowing pink with my miko powers. She is fast this time and easly dodges my arrow. All at once Naraku and his incarnations start to attack the others along with the demons. I focus on my battle with Runi though, trying my best to beat her.

Sesshoumaru's POV

I take Naraku on as Inuyasha and Kikyou take on his incarnations, my Father, Sango and Miroku take on the rest of the demons and Kagome takes Runi on.I swing my sword at Naraku but he dodges it.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, are you ready to watch your new mate die?"

"Kagome will not die by Runi's hands."

"We will see."

I send Tokijin's 'Dragon Strike' at Naraku, he places a quick barrier up to be protected from my attack. Something seems off about Naraku, but for some reason I can not place what it is.

I fight with him, but every time I try to attack him, he places a barrier up. I jump back a little ways into the air, I look over at Kagome to see how she is going. I smirk, she is actually beating Runi.

Runi's POV

As I try to fight against the Miko, the battle is turning to be more intense then what I first though it was going to be. The Miko is much stronger then what I first though she was.

She is letting her powers show, one of the demons got past the others and headed straight for her but the power surrounding her purified it without even looking at it.

I am actually kind of worried from the amount of power she is putting out. I charge at her with my claws ready, she sends a big amount of her miko powers at me which I dodge just in time before it hits me. If I don't watch her ever move, she could easily purify me.

Kagome's POV

I fight Runi, I am letting my Miko powers out, for some reason I feel a hidden power trying to ease my body. I look down to see my part of the jewel glowing, before I know it I fall unconscious.
