Reaching Yin

A cloud of bright swirling golden hues of lights illuminated the large stone cavern before the guards of the doorway. Slowly diminishing from around the warrior's body. The guards woke from their sleep towering stones stood above her.

"Who goes there?"

"You cannot pass living, only the dead may go through the midway of life and death."

Kagome eyes narrowed resting her hand on tensaiga. Thump!

"I shall pass. Im kagome Higurashi the new warrior of the balance of yin and yang." Kagome was filled with power to not be refused. Echoing off the walls. Tenseiga drawn from its sheath glowed bright before the two guardians signifying her place.

The large stone doors slowly opened before her. There behind that door was the beginning of her story.

Kagome transformed into the maiden of yin yang. Her black and white pony tails swirled around her as she activated her rocket boots to fly to toga grave site. "Kagome!" a shrill voice cries.

"Shippo?" kagome eyes went wide looking around the skeleton. There he sat in the mouth with a dark aura surrounding him. "Kagome I knew you would come back for me. You're not dead are you?" she shook her head as tears pulled her eyes. Her son was in front of her again. "Shippo are you ok?"

"No im stuck here because of my sudden tragic death by naraku. My soul is trapped in hell." Shippo began to shudder in fear of remembrance, the malevolent aura grew stronger. "Shippo I will save you." A fire was lit deep into kagome eyes. A promise of revenge against naraku. 'You shall regret ever going after my pack.' The skeleton began to tremble as her palm sizzled. As everything began to settle back down a blue moon was left remaining. She was unaware of the print as she took off to the gate of hell. Her emotions were in turmoil. She didn't know how to feel about finding Shippo. She was furious with him being killed by naraku, relieved that he was here guarded by lord toga, determined to find his soul to bring him back, sad for the loss of her son while she was gone in her time.

The clouds of fog began to gain a malevolent aura and began to bleed red. The screams of souls filled her ears of their unsettling deaths. Kagome ears picked up on the sound of Shippo wails with the chip in her neck. Hovering around the gate keeper as he chuckled. Kagome drew tenseiga from her side before the giant. "Release my son to me now if you value your life."

A familiar voice spoke up from beside the giant. "The miko kagome what a lovely surprise to see you in hell."

"Sounga so this is where you returned. After Inyuasha and Sesshomaru defeated you. You look broken to me." She acknowledge the cracked sword implanted in a pile of old demon swords sticking from the top. "I have survived by sucking these worthless power slowly so that I would take my revenge against you again and those mutts."

Kagome eyes saw a light around sounga that was quite familiar to that of yin from her training. Realization hit, she walked with purpose over to it. Pulling sounga from the stone of fallen swords with the marked hand, a bright red glow grew from the stone as she pulled. Sliding out inch by inch sounga screamed and shout in complaint and confusion. Finally pulling sounga from the glowing stone of fallen swords a bright flash emitted itself from it. Once the light was gone kagome stood staring at the fixed sounga with even greater powers than before from absorbing all the energy from the stone leaving just plain ordinary human swords. "The sword of yin. Never thought it would be sounga."

"How about instead reminiscing about it you complete me with the blood of hell."

Kagome nodded placing tenseiga in her scabbard preparing to kill the giant beast before her with her new sword. "hahaha do you think a foolish human could defeat me with a sword made from a pile of weak demon swords." It laughed again grasping Shippos' soul inside his hand. Kagome raised her sword like Sesshomaru did when he battled the gate keeper. Raising her sword a dark purple cyclone surrounded the blade. "You picked the wrong kit to mess with- DRAGON CYCLONE!"

All of the wind swirling around the blade collected at the tip as she swung down the ball of surreal winds aimed at the demon. Being surrounded in the deadly winds cutting it down to dust. The gate keeper screamed in pain.

Kagome head snapped up to Shippo soul being sucked into the gate. Reacting on instinct she drew tenseiga cutting through his soul.

Kagome landed before toga skeleton with sounga on her back on the outer side of her cape. Raising her hood her grey pierced through the fog to see Shippo standing before her taller than before but still shorter than her. No more than 4'5. "Shippo im so sorry." She cried running into his arms. "If I had been there this would have never happened to you." Shippo patted her back whispering calming words. "All that matters is that we are together now." Kagome wiped away her tears. "What happened to your hair kagome and your eyes there all different?" kagome lets out a little giggle. 'He's taller but still a kit full of curiosity. "Don't worry Shippo I won't always look like this. It's just my battle gear." "Oh, well I think you look pretty kagome." "Thank you Shippo but I must go finish what I have to." "I'll come with you kagome. I don't want to be away from you again."

Kagome smiles. "Ok but if any sign of danger leave ok." "Ok."

Both sets of eyes looked over the worn map as lines danced across the paper. Clouds formed with a golden gate to the left was a garden with a fountain in the center surrounded by statues and the third was of a waterfall with pool at the bottom.

Kagome eyes bugged out of her head in complete shock. "I have to see the kamis.?"
