Darkness Always Has a Light

Chapter Two

Demon Revealed

----------

When Kagome and Sango ceased there sobbing, they got up with the help of Kirara. They were bruised and battered, and they're clothes where beyond repair.

Kagome's school uniform top was barely covering her. Her skirt wasn't as bad but it had a rip going up the left side, and she had two cuts on her right shoulder forming an X shape, she also had a large gash going up her side, that was bleeding heavily. She also had other minor bruises and cuts, her hair was matted with blood, and she had puffy red eyes from crying. Her face was smudged with mud and had a small cut on her left temple.

Sango's taijiya outfit had a sleeve missing and a long open gash from her left shoulder going down to the front, right side if her waist, it was also bleeding. Her right cheek was smudged with mud, from her attempt at wiping her tears away. She also had many other numerous cuts as well. She also had puffy eyes from crying also.

Sango helped Kagome mount Kirara. "Sango..do you...do you want to come live with me in my era?" Kagome whispered, her voice hoarse from when she had been sobbing. A twinge of hope sparked in her now dead, lifeless eyes. "I suppose it couldn't hurt since..I have no family here anymore." Sango replied, sounding sorrowful as she whispered the last part.

"Oh, Sango...they would want you to be happy. How about this, when we get to my era, I can introduce you to the modern technology, and I can enrol you in my school. How does that sound?" Kagome said while trying to sound cheerful but failing miserably.

"Yes that would be nice…" Sango replied, a small smile tugging the taijiya's lips. "But I would like to head to my old village. We could stay for a few months and I can train you a little, repair my boomerang, and get some extra weapons." She added.

"No problem," replied Kagome with a smile of her own. With the mood lightened a bit, Sango mounted Kirara with Kagome and took to the air, to the old taijiya village.

The trio had stayed at the old Tajiya village for 10 months. Sango had asked Kagome be a fellow tajiya, and was taught the way of the tajiya. She mastered her archery, and could fire an arrow 15 times, and get it perfect every time. She was taught how to launch and retrieve her own bone boomerang, but the straps where black leather, while Sango's was brown leather. She was taught many different techniques with a katana. She improved in her self-defence also. She was taught the way of the taijiya, basically. Let's just say Sango was like a second Genkai. At some points Kagome would get caught muttering 'slave driver' under her breath, resulting in her doing 30 push ups from the said slayer.

The odd thing was that as the months went by, Sango noticed (well, it was kinda hard not to notice, mind you) that Kagome had inhuman strength, agility, stamina, and senses. The only problem was that it was inhuman.

Sango had been teasing Kagome one afternoon, about Hojo, and she ' accidentally ' lit Sango's kamono on fire. Thank kami-sama she wasn't wearing her taijiya armor, or Kagome would have to face Sango's wrath. And it was scary. That was proof enough that Kagome was not just a miko, and that was just the beginning of Sango's worries.

Her 'powers' were steadily growing, and where completely out of control. Especially when her temper began to rise. So of course, Sango being the nice person that she was, went to find a teacher who could help Kagome control her abilities. And guess who Kagome's new sensei was? One word. Flea.

Yep, Sango found Myouga and asked if he could find out what demon Kagome was, (if she was one) and how to control her demonic powers. She didn't need to train her miko powers because Kaede already trained her before the final battle, except for her terrible aim in archery which Sango kindly took care of (snortslavedrivercough, whistles innocently)

-Flash back-

"Hmm…" Myouga murmered thoughtfully, as he examined Kagome. "Can you light anythingf on fire, Lady Kagome?"

"I already told you don't call me 'Lady', anyways yes, but not at will." Kagome muttered impatiently, as she tapped her foot on the wood of one of the taijiya's huts.

"What do you feel like when it happens? And what else can you do?" Myouga asked, still examining Kagome, well her neck, anyways.

"Well when I accidentally set Sango-chan's kamono on fire was when I was very angry, and I think I glared at her but I don't know. But the next minute her kamono was aflame...she said that my eyes flashed red or something right before it happened. And I've had my finger's light on fire too, but it didn't hurt or," she smacked her neck quickly, "anything. And didn't I tell you not to suck my blood like I was a free buffet or something?" Kagome muttered as she watched with a satisfied smirk as Myouga drifted to the floor.

"Yes well I couldn't help myself, you taste delicious!" Myouga replied dreamily as he eyed Kagome's neck again. He also noted Kagome was more snappish and easier to anger than usual. "Anyways, is there anything else?" he asked pleasantly, snapping his gaze to Kagome's blue and crimson eyes. Wait, crimson? Weren't they all blue?

"Not that I'm aware of, no…" Kagome replied, deep in thought.

"Interesting." Myouga stated, as he wen't into a trance like state, pondering it.

"What? That's it! Oh no you don't! What the hell am I?" Kagome screeched, as the temperature in the room began to rise, along with her temper.

"Whoa, calm down Kagome. Now I do have a theory of what you might be but I never would of thought it possible." Myouga pleaded as he began to sweat. "Then what am I?" Kagome asked, eyeing Myouga wearily, her mood doing a complete 1'80.

Myouga sweat dropped at her mood swing. "Well considering you appear pyrokinetic…no…but it's impossible…" Myouga muttered to himself rather than Kagome.

"What?" Kagome asked curious to what the answer was.

"You, being able to control fire ...and being a miko…" Myouga sighed. "Well I guess it is possible since your proof…anyways, I think you are a fire apparition and a miko, if that's even possible." Myouga whispered with a sigh as he glanced at the miko/demon.

There was dead silence, then, "But how is it not possible?" Kagome asked, pacing up and down.

"Since you are a fire apparition and a miko, the holy energy that miko's use to purify demons should purify the demon blood running through you veins but it's…not." Myouga eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

"Then my miko powers should have purified the demon blood already…right?" Kagome whispered as she paused a moment to look at the flea demon.

Myouga nodded and added, "Yes but since your still alive, I think the holy energy has found peace with your demon blood somehow. I'm sorry, but I can't help you any further."

"Wait, Myouga!" Kagome called pleadingly as she watched Myouga hop on the window ledge and disappear into the night.

-End of flash back-

Ever since that night Kagome had Sango help her train her new demonic powers, her appearance also had altered slightly over the few months.

Her once sapphire eyes that were specked with crimson, was now all crimson and mixed with gold, which seemed to capture you within it's fiery depths. Her raven hair remained unchanged, and never lost it's blue sheen, and her teeth had become sharper and she now had sharp canines. Her nails had grown longer and sharper to resemble claws, and her hands became slender but strong. Her eyesight had gotten sharper and her sense of smell enhanced, and strength that could also rival Inuyasha if he was of course, alive.

Sometimes Kagome would ask herself silently, 'Does my mother even know?'
