Kagome shrunk back as much as possible when Inuyasha's people came bombarding in. She couldn't believe she allowed her guard to fall, knowing she was still in the territory of the enemy.

"Move aside son!" Inutaisho barked, pulling out his two guns from the straps against his legs, a gleeful shine brightening his orbs as men moved around the pool.

When Inutaisho ignored his son's frantic protestation as he moved more in front of the creature, blocking his view of a clear shot, Inutaisho found himself swiftly moving to the right, aiming at her in one breath and taking his shot. The loud bang echoed in the quiet vicinity, a deafening reminder of who they are.

His shot grazed her shoulder and with a scream Kagome disappeared in the deep end of the pool, blending in with the element.

"Get out," He shouted to his son, but when he refused to move, that odd look of horror on his visage, Inutaisho blurred closer, grabbing Inuyasha and literally thew him from the pool where he landed painfully on his back near the forest's opening.

With his removal, the pool was forced to swallow hundreds of ammunition rounds.

Kagome felt her body blending in more with the water, providing her with a sort of bullet proof as she weaved herself through the deep pool, careful not to come up too close as not to allow her powers to decrease.

"How could you do that?!"

Not now Crim! Kagome silently barked, tears rushing to her eyes as she tried to formulate a plan of escape. She couldn't believe how foolish she was, to even allow Inuyasha to kiss her. But the fact that she kissed him back – and liked it, made her feel worse that these heinous hunters.

Mom would kill me if I ever make it out alive.

"You're hurt pretty badly."

Kagome didn't have to overlook her body to know she was seriously injured as she settled in a blind corner, her wild silver gaze watching blankly at the disturbance in the water from the rounds of ammo. She vaguely saw Inuyasha on the ground, kneeling as his features became wild, as if the thought of her being hurt meant something.

Stop it, She moaned, knowing that she needed to take her mind off of every and anything Inuyasha. He was not worth it – even if he did like her – they were just not meant to be.

Her gaze shifted to Inuyasha's father, and the look of utter rapture on his visage made her feel sick in her stomach. Why were people like him even in this world?

"You have to hurry up Kags,"

Sighing Kagome nodded once, inhaling deeply as she pressed her feet flat to the bottom of the pool, her foot bended at the knees.

Ready Crim?

"No… But I have no choice."

Without thinking any more than necessary, Kagome pushed off, her body springing from the pool, bringing a large amount of water to spray about her. With a piercing scream, her body began to glow a bright blinding white as her body arched backwards like a perfect bow.

Crimson was a few feet about her head, her little body glowing a bright red swirling herself around Kagome's white glow in a jagged circle from head to toe before rushing back up and repeating the process until the whiteness illuminated the red glow.

Kagome heard Inuyasha plea to leave them be, followed closely by his father's curse and heavy footsteps.

"Don't let it escape or you're all dead!"

A dark whip lashed out across her, and Kagome grunted in pain before shaking it off and resuming her scream that was now turning into a piercing shrill.

Inuyasha felt the ground shaking beneath him, saw the way the sky darkened, turning an angry shade of grey above Kagome and he instantly knew what Kagome was doing; amazed at the power she exhibited.

The meter of his awe-radar for her shattered in that moment, and right then and there he didn't care if his life was about to end.

Not when she was performing the most sacred power of her kind: The Howling.
