Chapter 26.

It was a nice day, the sun was shining, but the night was going to fall soon, and a little girl was running happily through , what seemed to be, a peaceful village. The little girl, with black hair, and red eyes, was skipping happily through the village, looking around, it seemed like she was looking for something, her eyes land on a middle aged man. She hopped towards the man, and tugged on his arm, and asked innocently. Though it wasn't an innocent question.

''Sir can I ask you something.'' The man looked at her, and gave a smile.

'' Sure sweetie, what do you want to ask?''

The innocence in the girl's eyes were gone, and replaced with a demonic glint, and a scary grin came on her face, as she looked the man directly in the eyes as she said.

'' May I have you for my evening meal?'' The child like voice gone, instead now it was a rough woman like voice. The man tried to back away from the girl, fear clearly seen in his eyes, but as he took one step back, the so called little girl, who had now fangs and claws, attacked. The man closed his eyes, prepared to for the pain.

But it never came.

The man opened his eyes, and they widened at the scene he saw.

Before him he saw the little girl, her claws were against a sword, trying to not let it cut her. The man looked then at the person, clad in a green and gold colored cloth, the part of the cloth that hides the eyes and the forehead, was a symbol, A golden moon and star, she was probably female. The green and gold clothed female shoved the 'little girl' away with her sword, and the little girl backed away in a jump.'' Wench! Don't interfere, these villagers are my meal! Who do you think you are!'' The demon schreeched. The unknown woman gave a little smirk.'' You may call me Hime, and I suggest you transform back to how you really look like, I know this isn't who you really are.'' The unknown woman said, and the demon girl, who was first in shock, now growled low in her throat as a whirlwind came by, and the little girl changed into a grown up woman, still with the same black hair, and dangerous red eyes, she looked like a cat demon, but what for kind, you couldn't know for certain.'' Hn, I am impressed, Priestess, I am Kisari, your name was Hime right? Well Hime, let me do the honor to send you straight to your grave!'' The now indentified demonness, called Kisari, said. And she attacked Hime, though she hadn't really the chance, because the moment Kisari was to hit Hime, Hime's sword sliced through her chest, hitting her heart dead on. And the fight was over, Kisari fell dead on the ground.'' I will protect everyone, demons and human alike, but if you hurt someone, don't expect mercy from me.'' Moments of silence went by, before the whole village went in a uproar, cheering for the heroine that save their village. The headman of the village came up to Hime.'' Miss, we are very grateful to you. If there is any way to repay you please tell us.'' He said , truly grateful that his village was saved from a disaster. The female shook her head.'' No, I see it as my duty to protect everyone. You don't have to repay me.'' She replied, she looked up at the sky, seeing that the sun was setting, and needed to leave before it became dark. She bowed towards the man, and told her goodbyes, as did the villagers. The villagers saw her walking away, and at that moment snow began to fall.'' Huh how can that be?! Fall only just begun.'' The villagers wer perplexed, not knowing how it could be. But the woman walking away knew how, she created it, it was her way to escape without anyone knowing it. She disappeared in the snow, before the villager's own eyes.

-somewhere in a forest-

In a forest, was the same young lady of the village, she was walking through the forest until she came upon a clearing with a lake. In the clearing was a female, with short black hair, and green eyes, cooking. The heroine stepped closer to the woman.'' Hey, Tenshi, I am back!'' Said woman looked up form her cooking and smiled brightly, she stood up fast and ran over to the other woman, and gave her a big hug, the other woman hugged her back.'' Kagome! you are back, you don't have any injuries do you?'' Tenshi asked, excited that her friend was back. Kagome shook her head. And they both sat down, waiting for the meal to be cooked.

Yes, Kagome Higurashi is still alive, when she fell of the cliff, she landed in a river, and was taken away. Tenshi, who was a priestess too, with a lot experience, had found Kagome unconscious near the river. Tenshi had healed her injuries, and fed her food. After days getting to know each other they became friends. Kagome stayed with Tenshi, and had asked her to train her. So she could become stronger, and as you already saw, she became stronger, a lot, though she wasn't satisfied yet. Now they were traveling together, looking for the Shikon Shards and Naraku.

The soup was ready to be served, they ate together, holding a conversation with each other from time to time. After Kagome was done with eating, she looked up at the sky. Tenshi looked at her knowingly. Tenshi had wanted to ask something for a long time now, and had summoned al the courage to ask her good friend.'' Kagome.'' She called, and the younger woman turned to her.'' Why did you want to become stronger?'' she asked, with a encouraging smile on her face. Kagome looked back at the sky.

'' I want to become stronger, so I can prove myself for the one I love, that I can show him that I can protect myself and him. That I am worthy of him.''

Kagome always had blamed herself of that 'Betrayal'. She thought that it was her fault, because she wasn't strong enough for him, that she wasn't worthy for him. So she decided, this time she wouldn't give up. She would prove herself to Sesshoumaru! And win him back. Because, he actually cared for her, even if it was a short time in her mind, but he did care for her, and not because she was the reincarnation of an old lover or something. Kagome smiled.

Tenshi smiled at her friend. Oh Kagome was worthy enough for anybody, actually most people weren't worthy of her, not the other way around. Anyway, she knew her friend would soon get what she wanted. They needed first to destroy the Shikon Jewel and Naraku.

They both went to sleep after that conversation, though Kagome was still awake for some moments. Looking at the sky again, she was lost in her thoughts.

'Sesshoumaru I will prove to you that I am the one for you! I will not let you go, no matter what!'
