Vizard

 

Kagura stared uncomprehendingly at the miko's extended hand.

“You're serious, aren't you?”

“Absolutely,” Kagome said, her tone deadly-serious.

“Lady Kagome, do you really think this is wise?” Miroku asked, eyeing the demoness warily.

“I have to agree with Miroku,” Sango said, also glaring at Kagura. “Just because he tried to kill her doesn't mean much. He's gone to greater lengths for a trap.”

“What the hell's everyone so tense for?” Uryuu asked, unclear as to why everyone was looking at the woman like that.

“She's not someone we think of as a friend,” a tiny voice said from his shoulder.

He looked at the little boy hanging on him and jumped in surprise.

“What the hell!?”

“Want to tell us what's goin' on, Kagome?” Ichigo asked, trying to break the tension.

“I kind of skipped over it when I was explaining it to the Captains. I told Mister Ura… hara… come to think of it, I don't remember those two vanishing,” Kagome said, frowning at the lack of their energy.

“I think they left when you suddenly got distracted,” Rukia said, frowning.

“Well, anyway, Naraku gained the ability to create incarnations when he got the Shikon. Kagura's the first one he created. He used her to see how strong Inuyasha was, which almost ended up killing her. Sound about right?” she asked, looking at the demoness.

“Yeah,” she growled, staring at the ground.

“So, do you have an answer, or are we going to stand out here all night?”

“Hey, I'm apparently not briefed. What the hell's going on here?” Uryuu growled.

“Ugh… I don't want to explain this all again,” Kagome said, rubbing her temple between her thumb and forefinger.

“I can't join your group,” Kagura said finally. “If you trust me, you're the only one, and you're a fool. Unlike that bastard, I can't absorb knowledge, and I won't get along well in this world of yours. So, the answer's no. So kill me,” she said, tossing Kagome a handful of black jewel shards, which instantly turned pearly-white when Kagome caught them.

“You really want to die?” Kagome asked, drawing her dagger as she released it.

“Yes, I do,” the demoness said, showing no hesitation.

“Fine, then. I'll make it quick…”

She drew her left hand back, and the dagger glowed with brilliant, white energy.

“Well, this is a pleasant surprise,” Kagura mused. “I thought that a miko'd be too naïve to grant death.”

“Yeah, well, naivety died when I did,” Kagome said, the energy increasing. “This might hurt. But it won't be torture.”

“Just do it!” Kagura snarled.

“Bikoumunashii,” Kagome said, throwing her dagger.

It landed in Kagura's chest, which surprised her as she felt no pain. And then, it slowly dug itself further inside.

“What the hell?”

“Just wait for it,” Kagome said, frowning in concentration.

And then, the entire blade was inside of Kagura, and her eyes widened. Suddenly, a massive column of blinding white energy exploded out in all directions from the demoness's body.

Kagome's hand suddenly made a sign, and the column darkened, becoming black.

“Kaihou.”

The column suddenly vanished, and a shocked-looking Kagura stood there, her features completely human, and a chain hanging from her chest.

“What… What the hell did you do!?”

“You wanted to die, so I purified you,” Kagome said, walking toward the demoness's soul. “So, hopefully you'll have a much better existence in Soul Society.”

She pressed the hilt of her blade to Kagura's forehead, and she vanished in a shower of light.

Kagome sealed her Zanpakuto and sighed in relief.

“Man, I'm glad that worked out.”

“Momma, what did you just do?” Shippo asked, bringing her attention to the others.

“It's kind of hard to explain. The power of my left weapon is to convert and seal energy. I figured that of I did just the right amount of both, then Kagura's physical body would be gone, and I could send her to a peaceful afterlife where she hopefully will be much happier.”

“You can do that, Lady Kagome?” Miroku asked, eyes wide.

“Uh… Apparently. I actually haven't used the dagger before, and I'm really new to all this. But, I'm really glad it worked out,” she said, scratching the back of her head.

“So, care to share what's happened? I was only gone for ten minutes,” Ichigo said, frowning.

“Yeah. That demon I just sent to Soul Society used a bunch of Shikon shards to lure us out because she wanted me to kill her. Then, Naraku showed up, and you showed up right around the time he moved too fast for me to even sense and nearly destroyed me with that weird blast of power. Thanks for that, again, by the way,” she added, smiling apologetically at Uryuu and Ichigo.

“Well, that's a surprise. You didn't bring out your mask?” Ichigo asked, eyes wide.

“Like I could! I was too busy burning, and I can only hold it for three seconds, anyways.”

“Seriously? I thought Shinji was supposed to help you,” the Shinigami sighed, all of the others but Rukia completely lost by this point.

Though Uryuu was beginning to put some things together.

“You're a Vizard like Kurosaki?” he asked, staring at Kagome in wonder.

“No. I'm a Vizard, I guess, but I highly doubt I'm nearly as good at it. And I didn't have the chance to train with them,” she added, glaring at Ichigo. “I had to leave, and I was supposed to come back in a week.”

“Really? Well, that's not good.”

“Obviously! I need to go-”

“You're not going anywhere,” Ichigo growled. “I'm supposed to watch you, and I don't need that old man yelling at me.”

“Kagome, you seem to be in pain,” Orihime spoke, surprising them all due to her previous quietness. “Do you want me to heal you?”

“It's okay, Orihime,” Kagome smiled. “I'll be fine in a while.”

Ichigo glared at Kagome before he finally seemed to come to some decision.

“Alright, then. You're not going anywhere, and I doubt those guys would come all the way here. So, I'll help you learn to hold the transformation,” he said, bringing his hand up in front of his face.

“Right now? Sounds good,” Kagome said, smiling. “Guys, could you get back a little?” she asked her friends.

As soon as they were all inside of Orihime's unbelievably strong barrier, Kagome snapped her fingers. Her mask flashed into existence, and Ichigo was instantly on her with his bankai and mask.

Kagome managed to draw her dagger just in time to block him, but her mask also shattered and she had to jump back or get hurt.

“Man, you weren't kidding,” Ichigo said, his voice mechanical and tinny.

Several hours later found both Kagome and Ichigo exhausted, though Ichigo was only breathing hard. Kagome, on the other hand, fell completely unconscious as soon as her mask broke, after ten full minutes…

Sorry for killing off Kagura, but she may be showing up again in the future, depending on how my creative mind moves me. As always, be sure to leave your opinions!
