Chapter 19,
Kagome stared at the figure in front of her with Sesshomaru. The figure quickly gave an evil laugh and the figure looked down upon the couple.
"My, my, it seems you two are a lot closer than you were before you supposedly killed me." The figure said and Sesshomaru quickly stepped in front of Kagome and he growled at him. Kagome looked around Sesshomaru.
"Naraku, what are you doing still alive?" She asked, hatred lining her voice. Naraku laughed and Sesshomaru was slightly surprised to hear that much hatred in her voice. Naraku took one step forward and when both Sesshomaru and Kagome growled he stopped.
"Have you wondered why you could not find the rest of the Jewel Shards?" He asked and Kagome's eyes widened and she nodded. Naraku looked at then and continued.
"The reason why you could not find them would be because when you killed me I sent the Jewel to a hiding place, after I died my spirit went to the Jewel and it gave me a new body. Plus when I got my new body I absorbed Kagura and Kanna into my body, making me an even more powerful demon, since when I got my new body I was no longer a simple half-breed." He said and Kagome growled again. Naraku laughed.
"Well at least I still have the jewel. How about we redo the past and I keep trying to kill you." He said and both Sesshomaru and Kagome got into a fighting stance and Sesshomaru unsheathed Tokigen.
Naraku smirked when he saw them getting ready to fight. He then pulled a large sword out of thin air and he looked at them and their slightly confused looks. "When I got my new body, it came with a little extra." He said and quickly charged them.
Kagome quickly jumped back and she used her miko and demonic powers to form a bow and arrow. She let Sesshomaru distract him while she took aim. After a bit of trying to find a open shot Kagome realized that Naraku was a lot faster than before. Even though she was a demon she was having a hard time keeping up.
Kagome finally just gave up on that attack and she resorted to claws and fangs, with a little bit of spiritual power. She quickly ran at Naraku and managed to get him with her claws, purifying a part of his arm.
Naraku jumped back and looked at his arm, then back at Kagome. He snarled at her and she growled back. Suddenly one of Naraku's puppets came out behind Sesshomaru and quickly wrapped around him, making sure that he could not move. Naraku looked at him.
"Now, you will not be able to save your little miko-demon." He said mockingly and then he turned to Kagome. "I shall finally be rid of you, stupid miko." He then charged her, sword in hand. Kagome glanced at him and dodged his attack before it hit her, but the minute she dodged he changed the swords direction and caught her arm, making a deep cut on it.
Kagome hissed and she looked up at Naraku and growled at him. "You will pay for that." She said icily and Naraku let out a small laugh.
Sesshomaru growled when his mate's blood had been spilled. He looked worriedly at Kagome but she did not look back at him but instead was on the defensive from Naraku's attacks. Suddenly he saw Kagome's eyes change to a dark blue with silver pupils and he smirked. Then Kagome transformed into her demonic form, which was a large black dog.
When Kagome transformed she felt the power flowing through her. Kagome then looked at the shocked face of Naraku and she smirked. She then pushed miko powers into her claws and fangs and she charged at Naraku.
Naraku quickly dodged all of her attacks, but got cut on numerous occasions, although he was not the only one getting hurt because for every attack Kagome gave, Naraku counterattacked.
Sesshomaru tried hard to get out of the puppets grasp and when he heard a roar of pain, he looked up and saw one of Naraku's tentacles pierced through his mate's leg. He watched as she fell and his inner demon raged and released.
The puppet exploded as Sesshomaru transformed and he ran over to his mate. Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome and licked at her wound and whined slightly. Kagome used her eyes to tell him she was okay. Sesshomaru then nodded and stood in front of her and he growled at Naraku.
Naraku sighed and he took a step back. "I have no need to deal with two dog demons when I really only want to kill one of them." With that said he quickly disappeared.
Sesshomaru then turned back around towards Kagome and realized that she was still in her demon form. He looked at her, insuring that the threat was gone. Kagome looked up at him and then she transformed back into her human form. Sesshomaru also did the same thing and he looked at her.
Kagome was still bleeding from the numerous wounds that Naraku had inflicted upon her but she was strong and did not even wince. Sesshomaru smiled at her.
"I believe that it is time we return to the castle. We shall inform the others of what we have found and form a plan of action after we have all rested." He said and Kagome weakly nodded.
Sesshomaru smiled at her and he knew that she was close to collapsing. He walked over to her and quickly picked her up bridal style and he smiled again we he noticed that she had instantly fallen asleep. She should have fainted a lot sooner from using so much of her demonic powers and he was surprised that she had lasted so long.
When she was fully healed he would teach her how to control her demon side and how to fight in that form. He brushed a strand of hair out of her face and he then quickly took off towards the castle.

Takai walked through the dense forest. The sun had finally set and he was disappointed that he had not found the Miko or Sesshomaru at the castle and that all that he had found was their weak companions.
Suddenly a dark aura appeared and Takai instantly stiffened. A strange man in a baboon cloak appeared and they looked at each other. Takai growled at the man.
"Naraku, I thought you were dead." He said coldly. Naraku suppressed a laugh and he looked at the demon. "I can assure you that I am not dead, in fact I am here to seek an ally as strong as you. I cannot defeat both the miko and Sesshomaru, plus their companions on my own." He said and Takai quickly nodded.
"I will help you, although I require one thing in return." He said and Naraku nodded. "What is it?" He asked and Takai smiled. "I want to rule the western and eastern lands." He said and Naraku smirked, and nodded. "When we kill them, then yes you can rule all of the lands and I will be the only one above you." He said and they laughed together in agreement.
