Kagome stood waiting for them to make a move she was sure it was only a matter of time. She heard a small noise
behind her and turned her head sharply to the right. Walking out of the shadows were two men both dressed finer
than the thugs in front of her, "What have we told you guys about leaving women alone?" the one spoke his hear
was a greyish color with long black bangs covering on of his eyes. The other was looking her over like he was
looking from something; he had very short black hair and a rather large Mohawk that was pure white. Something
about both of these men brought back memories to her but she pushed them away if they were even close to her
shed know it right away. The men in front of her seemed to have backed up a step or two when the other two
made themselves know Kagome noticed. "But boss she beat the shit out of Harku, we were just going to teach her
a lesson" one of the braver of the five said with his head bowed to the two that were now standing in front of
them. The one with long black bangs took a step to her and began to circle her, Kagome not liking the feel of the
new men watched them closely. "How is it a little girl like you beat up such a big man" the one with the Mohawk
asked. Kagome scoffed at him "I've seen much worse in my time on this earth, and he had it coming to him for
attacking me to begin with" she hissed to him. The one with black bangs was now standing almost right in front of
her, when he reached out to touch her face a barrier came up around her. Humans wouldn't be able to see it but it
would stop him from touching her too. To her shock the man yanked his hand back quickly the whispered word not
missed by her. Her eyes narrowed and she pushed her barrier to expand further forcing the two men back. "Leave"
the black banged man shouted to the five still standing and they quickly did as ordered.
Kagome now stood with the two unknown men a good five feet from her due to her barrier. "You're a miko" the one
with the bangs stated rather than asked. Kagome let a smirk come to her lips "And you're a yokai or my powers
would not have burned you" she stated back. They stood there staring at each other for long minuets till the
Mohawk one spoke "Your name miko." Kagome laughed out right at them "As if I would give my name so you could
hunt me down, I knew there had to be yokai here still and now I have found two. Would you give me your names
knowing what I am?" she asked the mirth gone from her face and she glared at them. They stood in silence a while
longer till the Mohawk one spoke once more "Very well but you will not be safe now that we know of your
existence" he stated in a threating voice. Kagome once more laughed "Like I said I've seen worse" though she was
laughing there was no mirth in her voice and the look on her face told them she would kill if she had to. The two
men walked around her barrier and picked up their fallen comrade and disappeared just as quickly as they had
come. Kagome huffed let down her barrier and continued her walk. She realized that by exposing her miko powers
she just painted a target on herself but really at this point she didn't care. She had been searching for these very
beings and now they would be looking for her that thought put a little smile on her face and a spring to her step as
she walked the last three blocks to her home.
Across town the two men waltzed in to a very large mansion, their thoughts heavy with the new information they
were bringing to their boss. No one had seen a miko in centuries and the one they stumbled on to tonight was
beyond powerful. They walked in to a large sitting room where another man sat with a boy about ten years of age
playing video games. "Hey boss" the one with bangs spoke. The man paused the game and looked over the couch
to see his two most trusted friends walking in with worried looks on their faces. "Ginta, Hakkaku what brings you to
my home so late?" he asked, they both chanced a glance to the boy than Ginta spoke "Troublesome news I'm afraid
boss." The man looked to his son "Dee why don't you go upstairs and play with your brother" he said in a soft yet
commanding tone. The boy whined for all of a minute till his father sent him a no questions asked look and walked
out of the room.
Once the boy was out of the room Ginta and Hakkaku walked over to the couch across from the bosses and got
comfortable, "What could be so important that you come here when it's my family time?" the man asked in a harsh
tone. Both the men on the other couch flinched back a little but it was Hakkaku that answered "We stumbled upon
a miko tonight and not some weak diluted blood miko, this one was fully trained and even beat the shit out of one
of our men" he said the events of the night still playing over in his mind. That got the other man's attention quickly
"The name of this miko?" Ginta shook his head "She wouldn't give it Koga, hell she even gave a good damn reason
not to." Koga studied the two across from him they weren't cowards so this woman must have been pretty strong if
they were here. "She didn't attack you when she found out what you were?" he asked all kinds of thoughts floating
through his head. Ginta once more answered "No oddly enough she didn't, it's clear she had the power to do some
major damage if she had chosen to but she didn't. Come to think of it she said she was looking for yokai anyways."
A thoughtful look passed over Koga's face "I don't suppose she mentioned why she was looking for yokai" Koga
asked in an annoyed tone. Sometimes these two were just worthless when it really mattered. Both of the men
shook their head, they didn't stick around to ask her questions the sting of her purity was way worse than either
wished to admit. "I better let the other lords know a rouge miko with the kind of power you are talking about her
having could be disastrous to us" Koga stated with a worried note to his voice.
On the west side of town in a mansion much like Koga's the phone began to ring. An imp quick to answer rudely as
ever "Taisho residents" Koga pulled the phone away from his ears slightly at the squeaky voice on the other end. "I
need to speak with Sesshomaru it's important" he stated back, not liking the reaction he was going to get from the
lord of the west for calling so late. Koga heard a huff and then he was put on hold, a minute later the phone was
picked back up with a very pissed of daiyokai answering it "What could you possibly be bothering me with this late
wolf" was hissed through the phone. Koga let out a sigh why did it have to be his men that stumbled on the miko,
clearing his throat he answered "My men stumbled on a miko earlier tonight, Sesshomaru they said she was fully
trained" he said in a wary voice. The other end of the phone was silent and Koga was beginning to think the other
dai had hung up on him when he was granted an answer. "Do we have the miko's name?" Sesshomaru asked, "No
and of course those two idiots didn't think to stick around a question her" Koga replied. Once more silence than
Sesshomaru spoke again "Earlier this afternoon I was led to a park where I felt miko powers being expanded from
in search of something" he stated rather bored. "And?" Koga asked slightly inpatient "And nothing, I only know that
she visits the park of the great mulberry from time to time" Sesshomaru hissed back, still angry that he didn't have
answers. Koga let a sigh out over the phone "We should get Shippo and Inuyasha together we need to find this
miko before she starts laying waste to our kind now that she knows we are here." "Hn" was the only answer he
received and he was sure it was going to be up to him to contact the other two lords. While Sesshomaru and his
brother now got along they still didn't talk to each other much and Shippo well Koga was sure Sesshomaru still
didn't really accept the kit mating his beloved Rin. "How about lunch tomorrow?" Koga braved, it would be best for
them all to meet in public simply so Inuyasha and Sesshomaru wouldn't fight and delay the meeting more. "Very
well make the arrangements" Sesshomaru stated than hung up the phone.
Koga stared at the phone for a minuet what was with people and hanging up the phone without good byes
Inuyasha had the same annoying habit and he would have to speak to the mutt before the night was up as well.
Sighing Koga made to call Shippo next, the conversation was just as short as it had been with the Daiyokai and
while the kit's voice held concern it seemed to Koga at least that he was also a bit excited about it. Inuyasha was
the last one he called "What do you want wolf shit" Inuyasha spit in to the phone. "Oh nice to hear from you to
mutt face" Koga snapped back. "Look I'm busy what do you want" Koga sighed again at Inuyasha's brash speech if
only Kagome could have corrected that too. "Look all the lords are meeting tomorrow for lunch we need to discuss a
danger to our race" Koga stated in a serious tone. "What could possible threaten us here that Sesshomaru or even
one of us could not handle alone?" Inuyasha asked now fully paying attention to the wolf on the other line. "A miko
has been discovered Inuyasha and not a weak one, my men say she beat the shit out of a human male with her
bare hands and burned the shit out of Ginta's hand with nothing but a barrier." A deep breath could be heard being
taken over the phone "Do we know who it is" Yasha asked now with a little hope in his voice. Koga knew what his
now friend was thinking "We don't and she wouldn't give her name either, she knows that in doing so it would only
speed up the search for her." "Yeah" Yasha said on the other line falling in to silence "Look Yasha don't get your
hopes up ok man we've been looking for her for the last two hundred years if she was here we would have found
her by now" Koga said in a knowing voice. "I know" was the short reply he got "We need to focus on finding this
unknown miko and the threat she represents now that she knows we exist" Koga said in a hard tone. "Yeah yeah I
get it wolf shit" and with that once more Koga was hung up on.
Letting a small frown on his lips Koga put his phone back on the receiver and stared off in to space. Lost to
thoughts of days when he sought out a miko as a mate and fought foes of god like powers. His frown turned to a
smile fairly quickly but he shook his thoughts off and made his way up to his mate. She needed to know what
dangers now faced them all.
