Well...here's chapter 17!

Inuyasha sniffed the air around. "I don't smell anything dead anywhere..."

Ichigo looked around as well, seeing the village doing their daily doings. "I-I don't sense their reiatsu any longer neither..." As Hitsugaya took a step closer his eyes narrowed down, nothing but blood on the back of the house where the woman's dead body laid.

Inuyasha looked to the sitting Koga. "Hey! Mangy wolf! How about telling us what happened!"

Ginta looked down at his master. "Koga? What happened?"

Koga's eyes closed, lowering down his head: "I-It couldn't be..." He rushed up, grabbing Inuyasha by his collar. "WHAT THE HELL! I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT KAGOME!" Inuyasha pushed him away. "Get your hands away from me!"

Koga growled under his breath: "Look you mutt! That was Kagome who I saw before! She was with two other men but they both smelt of death...now tell me...what the hell is going on?"

Rukia came forward: "You said your name is Koga, am I correct?"

Koga looked from Inuyasha to the petite Shinigami. He nodded in response. Rukia sighed. "And you said that Kagome was accompanied by two men, right?" Another nod came to her answer. Rukia looked at Ichigo from the corner of her eye. "Ichigo."

Ichigo's hands started to form a fist growling under his breath. "Tell us what happened."

Koga narrowed down his eyes at the man with orange hair.

"All I can tell you is that Kagome took away my shards..."

Grimmjow caught the two shars in his hands as he threw them up and down from his palm. "Wow. Getting these stupid things were easier than killing my prey." Ulquiorra looked behind his shoulder. "Don't lose those Grimmjow," he glared.

Grimmjow caught them once again in his palm, wrapping his fingers into a fist. He returned the glare: "You really think I am that stupid, huh?"

Ulquiorra turned his head, walking in front. Grimmjow growled out loud. Ulquiorra continued to walk, but spoke: "By the way, those two things that you call 'stupid', aren't. I wouldn't underestimate their power."

"What power can these two pink shards do?" smirked Grimmjow. "They are nothing. It was easy to get them from that stupid wolf! He bragged about these shards making him faster. Ha! That wasn't speed. He was going at least less than a mile in my eyes!"

Ulquiorra stopped in his tracks, not turning back. "Trust me. If Aizen-sama and Naraku-sama think they will benefit our army then we shouldn't underestimate their thougths nor plans."

"Which has me wondering," glared Grimmjow. "You know about this 'plan'...right?"

Ulquiorra continued to walk with no answer. Grimmjow looked behind his shoulder to see Kagome walking. "Kagome hurry your ass off!" Kagome looked up, her own hands covered in blood. Her eyes slowly moved to look from the corner and moved her head to look from her shoulder, catching both Ulquiorra's and Grimmjow's attention.

"Kagome-sama?" questioned Ulquiorra walking to Kagome. "Is something the matter?"

Kagome's eyes changed to a glare: "Something is back at the village. Something just got there and they have a familiar reiatsu and aura."

-FLASHBACK-

Kagome's hand stretched out. "Hand over the two shards you have on your legs. Any restrictions will lead you to your demise."

Koga's eyes narrowed down: "So you are Kagome. She is the only woman to know and see my two shards."

"We weren't asking for questions from you," he smirked. "Just hand over the shards or you will die." Ulquiorra crossed his arms across his chest. "Grimmjow, we don't need to spill worthless blood." Koga's knuckles cracked, making both of the Espadas eye brows rise.

"And what makes you think I will hand over my shards that easily?" smirked Koga, getting into his battle stance.

Grimmjow looked over at Kagome: "You want me to do it? I can you know?"

Kagome's eyes narrowed down at the wolf in front. "I guess...," she appeared behind Koga in less than two seconds, barely giving Koga the time to turn around. "We need to force you and take them out ourselves." Her hand came to slap him on his face, throwing him back to the house. Kagome's eyes closed: "Grimmjow?"

Grimmjow smirked, showing his teeth perfectly. "With pleasure." He appeared above Koga, throwing him up to the air. Koga tried catching his balance only to find himself grabbed by Kagome's white ribbons that were being floated in the air. Koga's arms and legs were stretched out like a star. "L-Let me go you bastards!"

Kagome flew up in front of him, her eyes meeting his.

"K-Kagome..." he whispered. "W-What happened? Who did this to you?"

"That isn't of any of your concern," answered Ulquiorra from behind Koga's body. His finger came pointing at him. His cero forming. Before long, it fired, an explosion coming after right away. Koga opened his eyes, feeling...nothing. He looked behind his shoulder again surprised to see Kagome absorbing whatever had come out of Ulquiorra's finger. Her own hand absorbing the massive energy. Ulquiorra sighed: "I see."

He jumped down to the ground, landing safetly. Grimmjow coming next to him, smirking.

Koga sighed: "I-I knew it...Kagome. You haven't changed. Thanks for saving me."

Kagome's bird came to hand on her palm, turning into her small long white ribbon. In one swing of her wrist, the ribbon wrapped around both of his legs. Koga's eyes widened, afraid of what was happening.

"K-KAGOME! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" he yelled in pain.

Kagome's ribbon started to glow silver, making Koga even yell more as blood, gushes of it pouring out his legs like a huge leech that was stuck onto it. Grimmjow smirked: "I am impressed." Ulquiorra's eyes closed. "And that isn't all of her power."

Kagome landed gently and gracefully on her two feet, the ribbons wrapped around Koga letting go easily, blood covering them. The two shards fell in front of her, she easily caught them in her hand, her eyes closed as Koga fell completely on the ground. Grimmjow looked at his legs: "Wow Kags...you left his legs...without blood almost!"

Kagome started to walk ahead of them. "Our business is done here..."

Koga's eyes slowly opened, only half way. 'Kagome! Come back!'

-END OF FLASHBACK-

Ichigo growled under his breath along with Inuyasha, watching as Koga showed them his legs. His skin was practically off! How did Kagome get so much power in just a short period of time and minutes?

"So," started Rangiku. "She really is something, isn't she?"

"We shouldn't underestimate her," whispered Hitsugaya. Ikkaku sighed as he looked over to his left where the villagers where. "I wonder why these villagers didn't run away when seeing and hearing everything."

"Yeah," whispered Hisagi. "That has me wondering as well."

Sango's eyes closed: "Kagome...will we ever get her back?"

Ichigo's hands formed fists. "We will." Suddenly, Rukia looked behind her shoulder. "ICHIGO!"

Ichigo looked at her direction of sight. 'T-That's their reiatsu...!'

Ulquiorra walked closer to Kagome. "Kagome-sama? Are you alright?"

She nodded in response. Knowing that someone back at the village was probably looking for them now. "Let's go," whispered Kagome. "They will come here soon."

"Who?" asked Grimmjow. Ulquiorra's eyes closed, sensing something. His eyes opened immediately. "Grimmjow! Get Kagome-sama out here!" Grimmjow blinked. "Why?"

"Follow my orders!" glared Ulquiorra. Kagome looked over at the 4th Espada: "Why? I can deal with them too. They aren't that strong." Ulquiorra's glare shifted to her. "Don't be a smartass with me. There is a reason why you can't battle them yet."

Kagome looked away, that part she was confused. There was something weird about this. She knew that she needed to serve Naraku and Aizen, but something was off. She felt half of her power locked in, unable to get it out. Her attention was caught by Grimmjow who was grabbing her hand. She sighed looking back at Ulquiorra. She called his name, catching his eyes.

She threw a shard to him, he easily caught it.

"Use it," whispered Kagome. "Not on you though."

Ulquiorra nodded.

Rukia grabbed Ichigo's wrist, stopping him from going any further into the forest. Hitsugaya appeared in front, along with Hisagi.

"You better stop where you are Kurosaki," glared Hitsugaya. "Being rash isn't going to help you reach your goal."

Ichigo growled under his breath. "And what do suppose I do? I jsut sensed those two bastards reiatsu! Plus Kagome's! I can't just stand here!"

Hisagi sighed: "Captain. I don't think we are getting anywhere. We need to take immediate action..."

Rangiku came from behind: "He's right Captain."

Ichigo relaxed after Rukia let go. "I-I felt it. I felt Kagome's reiatsu. B-But it seemed so different...more-" he was cut off by Kikyo coming with Inuyasha. "Tainted?" she finished. "You are right about that. After we have heard and seen from Koga, we can say and assume that Kagome's heart is changing direction."

"You say that as if you didn't care," glared Rukia.

"She is my reincarnation," she replied. "I am not supposed to care about her." Kikyo sighed, "But it seems like she ran with one shard in hand. She is moving along with..."

"Grimmjow," growled Ichigo looking to the other direction.

"But I thought you said that two other people with her?" exclaimed Inuyasha rashly.

Before long, they all heard a voice from behind: "Looking for her will be pointless and changing her heart back human will be a waste of your time," Ichigo's eyes widened, looking up above. "U-Ulquiorra!"

Ulquiorra snapped his fingers, a menos grande appearing behind him. "Devour them." he ordered as he threw the shard into the menos grande.

"D-Don't tell me-!" yelled Rangiku.

The menos started to change appearance, ten times bigger than before.

Ulquiorra's eyes narrowed down: "Give up."
