Kagome was once more making her way down the streets when she felt a tingle. She stopped and looked over her
shoulder, there was no way the tingle could be anything but yokai she would know the feeling anywhere. Shaking
her head she had thought she would at least have one more day before they sent people out to look for her she
continued on walking. About two blocks from her home she stopped she wasn't the young stupid girl she used to
be, if they weren't attacking her they were here for intel as to where she lived and she would not give it to them.
She loosened her hold on her miko powers just slightly so she could get a feel for the exact location of her current
stalker than pulled it back in as soon as she had it. She quickly sprung in to action and infused her feet with a little
of her power and boosted herself up a wall to grab and tree branch and swing to the tree behind it. Landing
gracefully and silently she peered down on the yokai that was a branch below here looking around wildly for her
location. Kagome let out a giggle and the yokai turned its head up to look at her "Hey there what's ya looking for?"
she asked in a jesting voice. The yokai in question gasped and jumped out of the tree to put distance between
them. Kagome shook her head, she had learned a few new tricks over the years that yokai apparently were not
aware of. She stepped off the tree and used her powers to slow her descent and stepped on to the side walk a few
feet in front of the yokai that she could now tell was female, and maybe part of the wolf family given her tail. She
had bright blue eyes and fire read hair, if Kagome had to guess she would guess that the yokai was no more than a
teen if lucky.
"How did you do that" the female asked with awe clear in her eyes. Kagome just smiled at her "Now what kind of
miko would I be if I gave away my secrets to yokai?" she asked mirth in her voice. The female shook her head
"You're not like any miko I have ever read about" she stated still shocked that she had somehow lost the miko only
for the woman to turn up above her in a tree. She realized than if the miko meant to kill her she had given the
woman the chance. Kagome shrugged her shoulders "I'm not like any other miko you would ever meet" she said in
a calm tone. Kagome eyed the woman in front of her slowly "What was your purpose in following me?" she asked.
She watched as the wolf took a step back from her "I'll know if you lie and if I have not attacked you by now why
would you think I would after you told me?" The wolf eyed her back she never expected to be found and now that
she was talking to the miko she was going to have to report to her father after he had told her not to go anywhere
near the woman. She was the best tracker the east had how could she not seek the miko out was her train of
thought. Now that she stood toe to toe with the woman however she was wishing she had stayed home, the burn
of her purity was easily felt and she knew the miko was not even trying to harm her right now she simply had her
powers released. "Why should I tell you why I was following you?" she asked in a snide tone. Kagome's smile
dropped "Well you can either tell me or I can beat it out of you" she replied in a dark tone. The wolf gulped she was
afraid even if she made a run for it she could not out run this strange miko, what was the worst that could happen
by telling her she was following her back to her home so the lords would know her location. "It has been made
known through the city that there is a strong miko on the loose the lords of these lands have sent out scouts to
know her location" the wolf stated without looking at her. Kagome's smile came back "And do I get to know the
name of my stalker?" she asked back to her normal cheery tone.
The wolf watched the woman she passed through emotions faster than the mutt Inuyasha did, being as she
seemed in a good mood again she sought to keep her that way. "Leeya" she bit out, Kagome nodded to her in
greeting "Well Leeya tell your lords that if the wish to find me to seek me themselves unless they are cowards and
wish to only save their own hides." Leeya's eyes widened that was a very brave statement to make and if she did
tell the lords just that the miko was likely to have all four lords breathing down her neck surely she couldn't be that
strong. "That is a very brave statement to make miko the lords will not take kindly to having their honor
questioned" Kagome only laughed "Wow yokai really don't change do they, well young Leeya I have dealt with my
fair share of prideful bastards and they can be no worse than what I have seen." Kagome was enjoying herself it
had been a very long time sense she had conversations with anyone outside of her family. She smiled one more to
Leeya and then pulled all of her miko powers back to her. Leeya breathed a sigh of relief as the constant sting of
purity disappeared, but her eyes shot wide when she realized it disappeared completely the woman in front of her
didn't feel like anything more than a human woman. This must be why the lords had not yet found her. The miko
was now walking away as if she was not threatened by the presents of a yokai at all and Leeya was inclined to
believe that was just how she felt. "Wait" Leeya shouted out, the miko turned a smile still on her face "How did you
do that?" she asked. Kagome giggled "Like is said sweet Leeya what kind of miko would I be if I gave my secrets to
Yokai" with that she turned again and went on her way. "Wait please" Leeya shouted once more, the miko stopped
and huffed but turned to look at her again, "What's your name I have given mine it's only polite to give yours in
return." Kagome's smile faltered a little "I will tell your lords my name and them alone if they find me" she said in a
taunting voice and began walking again "Oh and stop following me, I will take it as a sign of aggression and be
forced to defend myself, and really Leeya" she stopped and turned to look at the wolf yokai once more "I don't
want to hurt any of you" and then she disappeared with no trace left of her.
Leeya shook her head and bound off, just what in the world was that woman no miko she had ever heard of had
that kind of power and none she had ever met. Most of the mikos in this time period the blood was so diluted that
unless attacked by a yokai it never even surfaced. She ran as fast as she could back to her home she needed to tell
her dad what she learned, she knew she was busted for going out after the woman but maybe the good intel
would help to appease her father just enough to let her off the hook.
Meanwhile back in the eastern mansion Koga was going out of his mind his eldest daughter had disappeared and
he knew just where she had gone. His beloved mate had told his daughter of the miko and Leeya being the best
tracker they had took it upon herself to go out after her. They didn't have enough information on this miko and it
made him nervous what his stubborn daughter may do if confronted by the miko. Just as he was readying to pick up
the phone and dial Sesshomaru in his worry to send out some of his men to look for her she pranced through the
door. She seemed to have a smile on her face but it soon fell as she spotted her father and the very angry look on
his face. "JUST WHAT THE HELL WHERE YOU THINKING LEEYA" he yelled at her before the door was even closed.
Leeya put her head down "Ok dad I know your mad but please hear me out before you go all phyco on me" she
said in a low voice now willing to risk more of her father's anger by yelling back at him. "Oh you better have a damn
good reason for going out in to the city when there is an unknown powerful miko running around." Koga was having
a very hard time pulling his temper back in if it had been one of his male pups he wouldn't have been so worried
and while Leeya was the best tracker she was also very delicate compared to the rest of the pups. Leeya huffed
"God dad sit down and relax before you have a heart attack" she hissed out. "We're yokai Leeya we can't have
heart attacks" he said calming slightly and walking to the living room to plop in to a chair. Leeya smiled at her father
she knew he was more worried than truly angry with her and she really did get good intel for him.
Leeya sat down and explained her encounter with the miko in as much detail as she could remember. She explained
how the miko had moved like one of them and how without using her powers they were stinging and the woman
had no scent even with her powers drawn back in. She even went so far as to deliver the miko's message to her
father who she was sure would spread it to the other lords. After it was all said and done Leeya was sent to her
room and grounded for a week. It sucked yes but the punishment could have been far worse and she wasn't going
to do anything to make it such. Koga sat in the chair hunched over looking off to space. This miko sure did have an
attitude but really she wasn't being violent to any yokai she encountered she even stated she didn't wish to harm
them. What it basically boiled down to was that Sesshomaru, Shippo, Inuyasha or himself were going to have to
find this woman. He was sure any other scouts would get the same reaction as his daughter had gotten. It was
time for another meeting of the lords he couldn't wait to see the looks on Inuyasha's and Sesshomaru's faces when
told them the mikos message. He cracked a grin that was one right out of Kagome's book and if he didn't already
know better he would have thought it was that very miko causing them such grief. Unlike his friends he was not
going to let any hope build up in his heart about this unknown miko the let down when they found out it was
indeed not her would be too much to bear. Sighing he stood up and made his way to the phone calling each lord to
set up another meeting this time due to Sesshomaru's schedule it would have to be a dinner meeting. Once set up
he stomped up the stairs he had a mate to give an earful to.
