DISCLAIMER: I DNT OWN INU! BUT YALL NO STEALLY MY NEW AND IMPROVED SANGO!!!

Chapter 7- A Powerful Display

After staying up the majority of the night telling Sango about the prophecy and trading information Sesshomaru was surprised to hear that the human turned demoness was already itching to train with her newfound abilities and power.

"Come on Sesshomaru you know demon's heal fast and you can't deny that my arm is fully healed! I am one hundred percent ready to train! Plus, you wouldn't want me getting into trouble just because I don't know how to control my own body would you?"

At that he had conceded and before the sun began to rise they both changed back into their now dry clothes and he led her out of Totosai's cave and into the large open meadow in front of it. This would serve as a suitable training ground in teaching her and discovering her new demonic powers. He would be unable to teach her anything about her sorcery but demonic abilities were his forte.

He wondered what her singular ability would be. Each demon had a certain ability that was singular to them alone; his being his acid whip, and Inuyasha's the Iron Reaver Soul Stealer. He found himself curious as to what Sango's would be seeing as she was not born a demoness and most demonesses lost their singular abilities due to a pampered life without fighting. He did not doubt that Sango could control her abilities he was simply worried due to his lack of knowledge of what truly happened during her transformation.

As he stood across from her in the meadow he could not help but admire how the rising sun shone off her hair and made it appear almost golden. Refocusing on the demonic parts of her body he began to formulate a list in his mind. For the most part Sango would have to discover her demonic abilities on her own but he would aid her in the first part of her training to get her started.

"Ok Sango you must first focus on your demonic aura. Let it loose to flow through your body as freely as you can."

She nodded and closed her eyes to concentrate on her new aura. Sesshomaru watched intently as the majority of her aura floated towards the palms of her hands. That told him that whatever her demonic ability would be it's focal point would be her palms.

"Now Sango can you feel the demonic aura pooling primarily in your palms?"

"Yes," she said as she clenched her eyes tighter and focused harder.

"You must concentrate on the aura in your hands. Focus only on that aura and try to feel what your own body is telling you."

As he stood watching, a cobalt colored blob of energy began to form in each of her hands. The cold he could feel emanating from the energy surprised him as the meadow around them became noticeably colder. His gold eyes widened as the harder she focused on the aura in her hands the larger the cobalt energy ball became and the lower the temperature around them dropped. He was about to step forward to tell her to stop when her eyes suddenly snapped open and all he could see was the glowing cobalt blue that covered her whole eye. Unlike Inuyasha's demonic transformations Sango's eyes did not have a pupil but instead looked like a deep pool of frozen water as her gaze flicked to him.

He was unsure whether or not she was still in conscious control of her body or if he'd pushed her to far on her first day of training so he approached her wearily. He was not worried that she would hurt him but he knew that if he was forced to restrain her she would most likely cause herself some kind of bodily harm and that thought unsettled him.

"Sango? Can you hear me Sango?"

She did not speak but merely nodded slowly as if she were in some kind of a daze. However, as he stepped closer her body tensed and the glowing orbs in her hands brightened threateningly. He froze midstep and almost flinched as the atmosphere around them dropped another ten or more degrees. What was once a nice summer day was now at temperatures near freezing in the meadow around them and the grass beneath their feet was slowly starting to whither and die.

"Sango it is Sesshomaru. I need you to calm down and release your concentration on your aura so that you can come back to me."

Her muscles relaxed slightly as if she were contemplating what he'd said when suddenly Inuyasha burst through the brush at the edge of the clearing with his aura flaring with worry. Sango's completely cobalt eyes flew towards the new demonic aura that was now flying towards her before they widened with fear and the glowing balls in her hands exploded.

Sesshomaru had felt her aura spike and was moving towards her to try to prevent her from reacting instinctively to the new threatening aura, in her state Sango would not be able to sense the difference between the anger and worry in his aura, when the cobalt orbs exploded. His body was hit with a huge wave of frozen snow and ice that sent him spiraling backwards and into a tree at the edge of the clearing. The hard impact momentarily knocked the breath out of him but he was up on his feet only a moment after and running back towards the epicenter of the explosion.

There was no way to tell what would happen to Sango at using her new powers to such a magnitude without her knowing how to control them. It was a possibility that her own power could kill her and that thought sent a horrible shot of adrenaline into his stomach that almost made him sick.

"Sango!!!"

He found her lying in a pile of snow that had not been there seconds earlier. Dropping to kneel beside her he immediately began to check her body for damage. However, other than some nasty burns on her palms her body was completely unharmed from the large explosion. Seeing that she was unconscious though he picked her up into his cut and bleeding arms before standing and looking around for Inuyasha. He wanted to give his stupid younger brother a piece of his mind for jumping into the meadow like that especially when he could sense Sango's aura fluctuating so wildly.

He found his brother's unconscious form lying at the base of a tree just outside the clearing and decided that his foolishness earned him the right to remain there until his mate came and drug him into Totosai's cave herself. Kirara's scent, as well as the priestess' and the monk's, was not far and he knew that he would not have long to wait before his brother was recovered and ready to annoy him with millions of questions.

Mentally shaking his head, he turned and left the still frosty meadow and made his way back into the cave at its other end. He was still worried about Sango but her steady heartbeat against his chest calmed him slightly. As he lay her down on the futon she'd used while undergoing the transformation he marveled at the amount of power she'd been able to call upon without any training with it whatsoever. The ability for dog demon's to control the element's was rare, his mother had been the first demoness to be able to do so in more than four hundred years, and for Sango to be able to change the temperature in the clearing by more than sixty degrees in a matter of minutes he knew that she would be a very powerful elemental.

Looking down at his arms he was surprised to see that they were still bleeding and that his demonic healing had for some reason seemed to slow to that of a normal human's. Narrowing his eyes he studied one of the deeper gashes on his arms only to find that some of Sango's residual demonic aura was still within the wound keeping it from healing. His eyebrows rose in surprise at the possibility of what Sango could do whenever she gained control over all of her powers.

As intrigued as he was by Sango's potential he was highly irritated that his own aura could not overpower hers to make his body begin it's demonic healing again. Annoyed at his own body he decided to ignore his injuries for the time being and go check on his little brother to make sure that his half demon body was not seriously injured by Sango's attack.

"Totosai I am going outside to retrieve Inuyasha from the brush. I will return momentarily. Watch over Sango while I am gone," he said in a voice just above that of his normal volume.

The old sword smith called out a muffled reply as he put down the sword he was forging and made his way back into the main cave and over to the fire to stir the stew he'd started when Sesshomaru and Sango had left to train. Sesshomaru sent his father's old friend one last glance before heading out into the meadow to find Inuyasha. His golden gaze swept across the meadow taking in the fact that despite Sango's absence the temperature in the meadow had only gone up a few degrees in the last hour. The ground was still covered in about a foot of snow and the trees looked frosted completely on one side.

Hearing a moan from the direction that he'd left his younger brother earlier Sesshomaru turned his attention away from the meadow and started walking towards the brush. He arrived to find Inuyasha sitting up and moaning with one hand on the rather large bump on his head. Sesshomaru looked him over and saw that much of Inuyasha's injuries were almost identical to his own, something he had expected, however the injuries Inuyasha had sustained did not seem to be filled with Sango's residual demonic aura and they were healing at their normal hanyou speed. His mind ran through the possibilities of why his superior healing was halted while Inuyasha's was not. The only reasoning that made sense was that Sango was born a demon slayer and that while she was now a demon herself slaying was in her blood. Therefore her newfound demonic abilities were geared towards damaging demons as much as possible and minimizing their harmful effects on humans. Since Inuyasha was half human he was not as affected by Sango's attack.

"Inuyasha."

"Wha? Huh? Sesshomaru? What the hell just happened?! Where's Sango?!"

As he watched Inuyasha's expressions change from blank to confused to angry to worried he almost broke into a grin but composed himself by reminding himself that this was not Sango he was speaking to; he did have a reputation to maintain after all.

"Come Inuyasha we can speak in Totosai's cave. We have much to talk about. Including the fact that you burst into the clearing that Sango and I were clearly training in with your aura flaring."

The confusion and worry did not leave Inuyasha's eyes but as soon as gold met gold his younger brother stood without another question and they headed back towards the cave. He did not miss the limp in Inuyasha's step as they made their way back across the snowy meadow but it did not seem to bother him very much so he did not inquire about it. Besides, he was still angry that Inuyasha had caused the explosion that injured Sango, he, and the hanyou himself.

Seeing the entrance of the cave approaching his gaze swept over to his brother and for a moment he wondered how much he had understood from Kirara. Deciding that there was no use delaying the inevitable he kept walking until they both stood just in front of the fire. He was relieved to see that Sango was already awake and ravenously devouring the stew that the old sword smith had cooked as if she hadn't eaten in days. Noting that the burn wounds on her hands were not healed but did not seem to be bothering her, he watched as Sango paused in her eating at hearing Inuyasha's small gasp of surprise.

Her big blue eyes looked up in surprise and for a moment they seemed to glaze over slightly as if she were remembering some distant memory. Her eyes suddenly refocused and immediately widened as she looked over the two brothers in front of her covered with wounds that were not there earlier. Dropping her empty bowl at her feet she was around the fire and clutching at Inuyasha's neck in less than a second.

Both men were staring at her strangely and it was only when she started sobbing that both seemed to soften and relax. Inuyasha lowered his arms, since they had flow up to catch the flying girl, and hugged her gently trying to comfort her. He looked towards his brother with a somber look as he inhaled her now fully demonic scent. His attention was brought back to her when she pulled back away from him and her dark blue tear-filled eyes caught his gold.

"Inu-yasha…I'm…I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."

"Don't worry about it Sango. It's fine. Nothing I can't handle," he said trying to brush it off with his usual brash, cocky attitude to make her feel better.

Next her eyes shifted to Sesshomaru whose wounds were still bleeding slightly and her eyes filled with a fresh wave of tears. She removed herself from Inuyasha's grasp and took a hesitant step towards Sesshomaru as if he would somehow reject her after what she'd done.

"Sesshomaru…"

Hearing his name come from her lips in such a tortured and hopeless way made him cringe inwardly. She sounded broken, much like she had when she'd told him of her failed attempt at love with the worthless monk. Did she truly think that he would no longer love her because of something that was his fault in the first place? Deciding that it didn't matter he took the initiative and strode one long step forward to engulf her in his embrace.

Her tiny form seemed to collapse into his as he wrapped his arms around her and brought her sobbing form to his chest. Something deep within him ached at the smell of her tears and he knew that there was nothing she could do to change the way he felt about her. He regretted pushing her so hard on their first training exercise but he never thought that she could draw upon such a great deal of power with absolutely no training.

"Sesshomaru…Please, please forgive me…I'm so sor-"

He cut her off mid sentence by placing a single clawed finger on her quivering lips. Teary blue eyes looked up at him in question and, ignoring the fact that his brother was watching them, he lowered his head and gently kissed her lips. He was not entirely comfortable with displaying such affections in front of his long hated younger brother but they were on better terms now and Sango needed every bit of comfort that he could give her; not that he planned on making this a habit.

'It's my fault this happened in the first place,' He thought distractedly.

However, his kiss seemed to calm her completely and her tears immediately ceased as she wiped the back of her hand across her eyes to rub them away. Sniffling slightly she looked down at one of the large gashes on his arm before shifting her eyes to his other various wounds. She seemed to study them for a minute before lifting her still tear stained face and slightly puffy eyes up to his face.

"I think I can fix this but it may hurt."

He merely squeezed her waist gently to show his acquiescence. Watching her curiously he was amazed to see her rest her hand gently over the largest of his wounds before closing her eyes and concentrating. A sudden stinging sensation went through his body as her residual demonic aura that had been sitting in his various wounds made it's way through his body and towards the hand that was resting on a gash. As the aura left his wounds they immediately stopped bleeding and he could feel his demonic healing start up again.

He could see Inuyasha out of the corner of his eye and a small smirk came over his face at the expression of complete awe his brother now wore. He was unsure whether the look was from his open display of affection towards her or her newfound power, however, he was certain that he would be questioned about both later. He himself was amazed at Sango's control but he was much more in control of his emotions than Inuyasha and to be fair he had been slightly more informed on what she could possibly do so his expression remained neutral as usual.

Drawing his concentration back to Sango he could see the aura she was drawing out of him was slowly building around her to form a dark blue cloud. Through her aura he could feel her worry, sadness, fear, and most of all shame at what she had done despite the fact that she was no longer openly sobbing. He knew that they would need to have a talk later but now was not the time with Inuyasha openly gaping at them. Besides, he could feel the last bit of her youki leaving his body and he was ready as her body sagged against his.

It didn't surprise him that she was exhausted but despite it all she remained awake and conscious as he carried her back to her futon by the fire. Moving over he picked up her forgotten bowl and scooped two big spoonfuls of stew into it before handing it back to her. He was warmed by the grateful smile she gave him before picking up her spoon and beginning to devour it once again. Hearing a gruff laugh from Inuyasha he looked over to see the hanyou nearly rolling on the floor at the sight of his sister eating almost as brusquely as he did. Rolling his eyes, Sesshomaru grabbed a clean bowl and lobbed it across the fire to hit the laughing man directly in the face.

"Hey!"

"Eat your fill Inuyasha for when your mate and Kirara arrive there is much to discuss. You and I shall be training twice as hard for the battle that is to come so conserve as much energy as you can. You will need it."

Inuyasha's mood immediately sobered and he sent his older brother a look that told him he was ready to protect his little sister from whatever psycho was after her. Deciding to listen to Sesshomaru's advice he did not ask any questions but instead moved forward to scoop as much stew as he could fit into the bowl into his before grabbing a spoon and sitting back to dig in. All three demons could smell the wonderful cooking at it hadn't taken them any time to each be eating their own respective bowls. It hadn't taken long for Sango to go from depressed to laughing as Inuyasha practically flung the food everywhere in an attempt to get it to his mouth faster. She knew that he was probably just putting on a show to make her laugh, seeing as he was being even messier than usual, but she could not help but feeling more light-hearted at the sight of her brother figure.

As she began to get full she started to wonder where Totosai had wondered off to after she had awoken. Only staying for a few moments to dish out her dinner, the old sword smith had retreated back into his forge room and hadn't come out since. Pausing to focus on her newly enhanced hearing she only had to wait a moment before the sound of hammering steel reached her ears. Curious as to why he would be working on a new sword at a time like this she finished up her food and turned her attention towards Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru," she paused for a moment for him to look at her, "what is Totosai doing making a new sword?"

His golden eyes seemed to darken momentarily before returning to their normal color so quickly that she almost missed it. She was sure that if she still had her human eyes she would have.

"He is forging you a new sword Sango; one that you can use with both your demonic and spiritual abilities. Yet another part of the prophecy that I spoke to you about this morning."

For a moment she was completely dumbstruck. Totosai, the demon that had forged the greatest of swords like Tetsaiga, Tenseiga, and Tokijin, was making her a sword. She was honored but worried at the same time. If the upcoming events prompted Totosai to forge yet another amazingly powerful sword what exactly were they up against.
