Kagome's POV

Chapter 16

"I don't have any," I said simply .

She pulled the tether back , letting the arrow pound into my shoulder . I fell to the ground . The pain was slowly delayed , until I hit the ground . The dust puffed around me as my slammed against the ground . I was only conscious for a few seconds , but that's when I saw Kikyuo aim an arrow at Kouga . "Kikyuo," I whispered .

I was out by then .

Narration

Before Kikyuo could release the arrow , Kouga slashed his claws out . Destroying her arrow . She activated her miko powers , pivoting away from the demon . Sparks ran across Kouga's chest , stinging him . He whipped his claws against her Kimono , as she pivoted further away. She created a large orb in her heart , which quickly opened creating a barrier , blowing Kouga through the sky . Alley , Ginta and Hakkaku instantly tried to assist Kouga , landing and jumping off of Kilala .

Kikyuo aimed her next arrow at Alley . Alley instantly sensed this and created a water blade from Kouga's blood . Slashing the blade directly in Kikyuo's face .

Pieces of cold clay ripped off Kikyuo's fragile (skin/clay face)

Kikyuo recovered and created a electric purifying orb , the sparked. She controlled it in her hands until it was strong enough .

Kouga was some what unconscious . Mumbling . Ginta and Hakkaku loaded him on Kilala , next to inuyasha .

The orb skimmed Alley's skin making her scream of pain as blood oozed off of her .

Kikyuo loaded three arrows .

Alley's eyes glew red . She full going to reveal her true form …

Kagome's POV

Finally a letter .

Travel east .

There you will meet a former friend ..

Follow my insect.

That was short . I got and followed the stupid bug .

Former friend ?

I had to jump branches , and run on hard gravel to reach my destination . Another camp site . Smut around the fire and logs . Fortunately my partner . It was no surprise , the person who was sitting on a log . No surprise at all .

"Renkotsu," I whispered .

He got up . "Ah.." he said dusting off is clothes . "You must be the miko Bankotsu talked about . Kira is it?," he asked with a smirk .

He knew it was me . Kagome , but now Kira . I touched chin of my mask , sending sparks of electricity down to the string that's holding my mask . I remove the mask with two fingers .

I slid it off , smiling at him . "Why hello there," I smile . "Renkotsu , long time no see"

He smiles . "I see you have came to your sense" he says . "Finally"

I chuckle . "Yes , I have" I say . "what's our mission?"

He smiles .

Kouga's POV

That bitch escaped while Alley transformed . Alley was incredibly strong . Her hair grew down to her feet . Eyes a deep aqua . Her face glew with complete radiance . Blue marking across her chin . Beautiful .

She was out of complete energy and collapsed into the ground .

"Alley!," I was injured but I saved her with one arm and put her back on the demon . She wasn't in the best condition . "Kilala , home," I said that reluctantly .

That bitch was Kagome's mirror . Kikyuo . She'll die next time I catch her scent . For Alley's revenge/pain and Inuyasha's .

Inuyasha . Why didn't you kill the bitch when you had a chance? She was in front of you for seconds . Why did you let her hurt you ?

How did she know about the shards ?

We got back to the cave I collapsed on the ground just like Alley did .

I woke feeling ten times better . It was Alley , she healed me . She was over my chest healing the wounds .

"Its funny," she giggled. "I can only heal conscious people , but with you it's a exception"

She was healing my peck now . I could tell everyone was a sleep so I sat up and hugged her .

"Kouga," she whispered half shocked .

"Alley," I felt my heart warm up as I said her name . "Don't ever scare me like that again"

I smelt her tears . "I won't," she muffled .

I hugged her tighter the intensity of her body heat warmth , warmed my body .

"Alley," I whispered . My heart felt lighter every time I said that .

She healed Inuyasha after he woke up .

"Alley," he whispered . "Thank you" He hugged her as well . I scowled him . I felt uncomfortable when he does that .

"We have to split up," I said .

"what?," he asked releasing Alley.

"By both of us staying here we're slowing our movement down." I said .

"Your right," he nodded . "I'll take Ginta and Hakkaku , you take Alley"

I nodded back . "We'll cover more land like that"

"Yeah but wait!" yelled a weak voice .

It was Ginta . "could we take a break first?" he asked

Me and Inuyasha both growled . We nodded at each other : the wolves were skinny and like humans : get tired too easily .

"One day," growled Inuyasha .

"When sunrise comes we're out of here for good"

The night went slowly :

Alley some how made a fire . She sat next too me , snuggling her face into my shoulder .

Inuyasha was a mist : empty . Just staring at the fire . His eyes vacant as ever . Ginta and Hakkaku were out to get food . They shared (they had too) and caught up in there sleep .

Alley did the same on my shoulder . I blushed a little bit .

"Kouga," Inuyasha whispered . I looked at him .

"Yeah," I answered .

"That women.." he said . "Was m-my"

I had a feeling the words soon coming out his were going to make me angry .

"My former lover" he said . I could tell he was lying when he said 'Former'

I turned my head . Disgusting.

"Before or after you met Kagome?," I asked . I never looked him in his eyes .

"Both," he whispered , voice full of shame .

"Is that why you hesitated?," I half spat .

You can't blame me for getting angry . The love of my life was with him !

A two timing bastard .

I growled.

"Yeah," He answered .

I knew it .

I growled again . Exhaling out my nose . I contained my anger . For now .

"so why are you saving her?," I asked .

"Hu?," he asked back .

"Kagome . Why are you saving Kagome then? If you have a new love?"

"Cause I love he-"

I never gave him the chance to finish his sentence , I got up with Alley and laid her down on the floor .

Inuyasha grunted . "why are you saving her?," he asked me .

"excuse me?," I asked . What was he getting at ?

"your in the same situation as me , Kouga" he said calmly . "Two loves"

I shook my head . "Sister," I said addressing Alley . "She is a sister to me . While my lover is some where far away" I said . "There's a difference"

He grunted . "I'll save Kagome." he sated . "Then I'll let her decide"

Kagome's POV

I chuckled at another one of Renkotsu's jokes on the way to our destination. I never knew he was so funny .

"what happened on our previous mission?," I asked . I knew something bad happened for Kyoukotsu to almost die .

He sighed . "As you may all ready know Kyoukotsu was attacked my another miko" he said sounding serious .

"Kikyuo," I addressed the bitch .

"yes . After that he was saved by a . Ah how do I put it 'force' : he lives naturally now."

"Oh , I see" I said smiling . "did you fulfil your tasks?" I asked .

"Yes and no," he answered . "Our duty was too destroy a hand full of demons. We did , but only missed out on six ."

"Six?," I asked .

"There were originally three , but they grew. Cat demon . Dog demon , wolf demons and a river spirit or demon"

"Spirit or demon" I repeated .

"That's what Jakotsu said," he said.

"Bankotsu never did tell me what he was doing" I said .

"That's because he was too embarrassed," he said turning his head .

"Why?," I asked .

"Cause , Jakotsu is busy chasing that dog demon" he said quickly .

I chuckled .

He looked back at me , giving me a funny look . "You don't mind?," he asked .

"If I did do you think I'd be betraying him?" I chuckled . "Jakotsu can marry him for all I care" I laughed . "I just want to kill the dam demon"

He smiled . "What a little bad thinking can do to some people"

We were walking into a small town of Mullin.

"This is where our mission is" he said . The guards were opening the gates as Renkotsu showed them his sword .

Before we entered town Renkotsu told me to act like his wench , so we looked like no one suspicious . I linked my arm around his gripping it tightly as we entered the town .

I could tell Renkotsu was getting excited in his head . I read his thoughts as we entered the small town .

Yuck . Same thoughts as Bankotsu when I hitched up my kimono to lure the demons into my trick .

"You think just like your brother," I mumbled under my breathe . He smiled at me .

"Strong miko , hu?"
