Part 5

Toshio and Kagome were walking through the forest and at a pace that Kagome was comfortable with and not like the usual pace that Inuyasha always pushed her and the rest of the group, at the thought of that she felt a bit of sadness wash over her at the thought of her long lost friends.

Toshio was making sure that Kagome was comfortable and that he made sure that he didn't walk at a pace that would stress her out but when he felt her mood change from her normal mood (the one that he has sense so far) to one that was sadness he was a bit confused and wondered what had happened.

Did he do something wrong? Did he say something wrong? But he didn't do or say anything wrong, could that be it? Could that really be it? Maybe she is upset because he isn't talking to her? Does she think that he doesn't want to talk to her? Maybe he should say something but what would he say?

While both Kagome and Toshio were lost in their thoughts they had failed to notice the few low level yokai's that were stalking them, they were attracted to the scent and the enormous power that was flowing off of the girl that was walking with an equally powerful yokai who they had no idea who it was.

They had decided that they wanted to prove that they were powerful and had decided to attack their first "worthy" appointment and well lets just say that they had definitely found strong opponents that they were just going to find out just how strong they were.

When they jumped at them both Toshio and Kagome were a bit taken by surprise but that soon changed for they just as equally snapped into defense.

Toshio was handling his opponent like as if he was nothing and to be honest he was nothing compared to the famous InunoToshio the great dog general, once he was done he then turned back towards Kagome to see how she was doing with her opponent.

What he saw made his eyes go wide.

Kagome was shooting out pink orbs form both her hands and while she was doing that she was also holding up a strong barrier that was protecting her from her opponents attack.

Toshio knew from the moment that when he had meet her that she was a very powerful miko but he didn't thought that she was able to attack and protect herself at the same time! Toshio was now even more interested in her now and he was going to do all that he could to figure her out.

Kagome was handeling her opponent quite while and when she had first put her barrier up she was wondering if she should or shouldn't attack but she also knew that even though she had been practicing more and more with her miko powers she found a way to not only defend herself but to also attack at the same time! That was what she had done.

After a while she had finally got rid of her opponent and then when she turned back towards Toshio she saw that he was staring at her with a strange glint in his eyes that for some reason made her blush.

"Nani?" "Nani mo. I was just thinking that you are full of surprises."

Toshio then smiled at her that caused her to blush even more and made his smirk grow wider. Then they both continued on with their walk all the while Toshio was smirking and glanced over at Kagome form time to time, Kagome while she still had that beep blush across her face.
