Stealth

Kagome's life had taken a turn for the normal, or at least routine, in the months following the Final Battle and her subsequent entrapment in her original time. Her days were spent at cram school; franticly trying to make up for the years of neglect that had befallen her schoolwork. Her afternoons spent training and studying with Sesshoumaru in his dojo on the far side of town, and her nights within the comforting grounds of the Sunset Shrine.

She had almost resigned herself to a life of the mundane when she'd sensed it; her first demon in months. Not counting Sesshoumaru, that was, as the feel of his Youki had become as familiar to her as the scent of her shampoo, or the image of Goshinboku standing sentry over her home.

And this demon had no concept of the word stealth; sending out waves of Youki like a radiation field that washed across her skin, bathing her in the feeling of power, and her Reiki flared in response, pinpointing his location exactly.

Note: So yah. Another day, another chapter. Also, I would like to Clarify something for my readers; since there has be some confusion. Kagome is NOT to become an Assassin. A Requiem is A) A Mass for the repose of the souls of the dead. B) A musical composition setting parts of such a Mass, or of a similar character. So you see, the title of this story, Assassin's Requiem, is in reference to the Assassin killed in chapter one. We don't want Kagome dead now do we?
