Author's Note: Ugh…long day…

Chapter 6: Naraku will want you.

"Why would he want my powers?" Miko asked, sipping on her soup Kaede offered.

The Monk sighed.

Kaede continued to stir her soup.

Kagome looked down at the ground.

Inuyasha was lying down.

Shippo was in her lap. "Because he has hunted down strong people before to work for him and they had tried to kill us", he said.

"Hm. But I only had been here for a few hours." She munched on the veggies in the soup. "And so what I killed one of his men, I shouldn't be a threat or anything. "

"But you are," the monk said. "And Naraku will stop at nothing to have you. He will want you to join him. And he'll use force."

Miko smiled. "Well, I only have four words to say."

"And what is that, Child?" the old woman asked.

Miko set her bowl down. "Bring it on, Naraku."

Inuyasha smiled to himself. Funny girl.


Miko walked out of the hut and down the path she came from. She saw villagers stop at their work and stared at her. She ignored them and continued her way. Once she was in the forest, she started to think.

So, this Naraku person wants my powers, the one Jona gave me. But why does he want me? He knows that I'll just say 'no' to him. Plus, he should know that I'm Kagome's cousin. So he shouldn't really bother with me, right?

She stopped once she was near a cliff. The sky was cleared. Not a cloud in sight. She frowned. I'll fight him off. This Naraku person is going down. She hugged herself, channeling her dark aura. If he wants me, then he has to come and get me.

She held her hand in front of her. She could see the purple aura of her powers to her fingertips. She kisses them. "This will drive him crazy." Then she blew on then, like she's air-kissing.

"Ready or not. I know you'll come."
