Chapter 14: True Battles

 

They battled for hours, Kagome had erected a barrier around Shippo, Souta, and Rin. The bodies of her other two family members burned along with the well house, but there was a barrier around the entire shrine now, thanks to Miroku. It prevented the demons retreat. It would keep out those with no knowledge of demons, but it would let no one out.

 

Kagome's sword slashed through the air until a demon managed to break it. The demon was now smirking at her victoriously, but she pulled her new sword and it glowed and eerie white with her powers. Her body was covered in wounds, but she did not care. All that mattered was the rest of her family.

 

**&**

 

Botan popped up three hours after she originally found them. They had just finished off the demons. Her face streamed tears as she ran to them. "Kagome's mom and grandfather are dead!" She exclaimed. "Demons attacked when you left, these ones were just a diversion, and I can't open a portal to the shrine.

 

They all looked at each other before taking off toward the shrine with Botan quickly following. They were met with the barrier upon reaching the steps. "How the fuck do we get in?" Yusuke asked as he looked at it.

 

"We walk right through it." Kurama stated. And so they did, all rushing to the top step where they met with an unbelievable sight.

 

**&**

 

Crimson stained her blade, but she did not care. The demons were falling before her, but her friends had taken heavy injury. These demons were strong and powerful, but it didn't matter. She enlarged the barrier so her wounded friends were in it, then commanded Miroku to keep it up. He nodded and concentrated.

 

Her blade gleamed as it tasted the blood of the demons. The handle was carved into a crimson rose and the blade appeared to have thick thorny vines going down to the tip. The steel blade seemed to be made of pure silver, but it was stronger than either. Her anger and need to protect had unlocked her true powers, and they swirled around her in a deadly dance.

 

She never noticed as the Yu-yu gang crested the steps, for she didn't care. All that mattered was her need to protect. A cold smile appeared on her lips as more demons charged her, but they didn't stand a chance. They fell to her blade as it pulsed with her miko ki. That's when several demons turned to the barrier. Her inu blood came alive and demanded she destroy the threat to her pack.

 

Miroku could not keep up the barrier under the assault, and so it fell. With deadly speed and aim, the demons lay in pieces a foot away from her pack. Blue eyes flickered silver before turning a crimson red. Her predatory smile sent chills down everyone's backs as her body changed to suit her new youkai blood. A long silky black tail grew as her hair turned to pure black. The crescent moon appeared on her forehead as twin pink stripes came to life on her cheeks, wrists, and other places.

 

Her ears pointed as she turned her sword on the rest of the demons. The Yu-yu gang could not believe it. Before them stood the most beautiful demoness that they'd ever seen, but she was supposed to be human. Her blood covered blade seemed to pulse to life as her cold smile grew colder. Her eyes turned unemotional as she stared the demons down.

 

"You will pay for harming my pack." And then she charged, blade gleaming as it refracted the light of the sun. The blade pulsed again and thick vines erupted from it as they sailed toward the demons. In minutes all the demons were disposed of. Her cold gaze turned to look at the Yu-yu gang before she turned and ran to the others.

 

The gang headed over to them and Botan turned to tears when they saw the condition of the fox kit. Kagome placed her hands over his chest and forced her powers out. A white glow enveloped her hands before it spread over the shrine. The demon carcasses were instantly purified, everyone else was healed, and the boy seemed perfectly fine. "Momma?" He asked weakly.

 

"I'm so proud of you Shippo." Kagome whispered as she picked the boy up and hugged him tightly to herself. Getting up, she walked into her home and sat down with Shippo. Miroku, Sango, Kohaku, Rin, and Kirara followed right after.

 

Kuwabara was looking at the group. "Was that guy wearing a dress?"

 

**&**

 

Kagome laid Shippo down in Souta's room and asked him if it was ok. He said that it was fine before he burst into tears and hugged his sister tightly, not caring that she was now an inu youkai. The twin stripes faded from her face and the rest of her body, as she sat down in a chair with Souta clinging to her and still crying.

 

The Yu-yu gang came into the house a few minutes later and found everyone in the living room. The entire group seemed sad, but the three in the ancient clothing were looking around in a sort of awe. Kagome suddenly looked up at the other woman. "Sango?"

 

"Yes Kagome?"

 

"Do you think you could take on another student?"

 

Sango looked at her strangely before looking at the boy in her sister's arms. She smiled and nodded. "Yes, I can."

 

"Ok. Souta?"

 

"H-hai sis?"

 

"Do you want to become a tajiya?"

 

His face slowly began to light up. "You mean I get to be a demon slayer?"

 

"If you want to be, Sango can train you."

 

Souta turned and threw his arms around Sango whispering thank-you over and over again. Sango just smiled and pat his back. Miroku looked at the boy too. "He may have some spiritual powers, would it be alright if I worked with him to check?"

 

Souta turned and looked at his sister excitedly. "Can he? Please sis?"

 

Kagome smiled as she nodded. "You're going need to train all you can if you wanna help us hunt jewel shards."

 

"We're gonna go back to the past?"

 

"Nope, we're hunting in Makai." She said as she turned to look out the window. Everyone jumped as a knock sounded on the door. Miroku, however, frowned. His barrier was still up, so whoever it was knew about demons. "Shiori!"

 

Kurama turned toward the doorway as a beautiful young woman walked into the room. She had long white hair and deep violet eyes. "Kagome-sama, how do you know this demon?" Miroku asked as he looked at the girl.

 

Kagome walked in with a large smile. "Come now Miroku, it's been five hundred years, she had to grow."

 

"Wait, this is little Shiori?"

 

"Hai!" Kagome squealed.

 

"I'm just glad that I'm not too early. I forgot what month you said to come over."

 

Kagome hugged her tightly. "You're early, we just got back from our trip. Though it doesn't matter. Do you know how everyone is?"

 

Shiori nodded. "Hai. Koga finally mated Ayame, Jinenji and I are mated, and Sesshomaru is still lord of the western lands. Inuyasha somehow turned Kikyo mostly human, though I've no idea how, but everyone is after them for causing trouble. Even old Totosai's still alive. Unfortunately so too is Jaken." Everyone that was in Sengoku Jedai laughed at that.

 

"Master Jaken is still alive?" Rin asked happily.

 

"Hai Rin." Shiori answered.

 

"How did you get through the barrier?" Kurama asked.

 

"I'm hanyou, so it let's me pass through." She answered simply. "Can I use your phone Kagome? Sesshomaru is in ningenkai and I bet that he wants to see you."

 

"Go ahead."

 

**&**

 

Shiori caught the shard hunting group up on everything and Shippo came down an hour later feeling well enough to join Souta on his mother's lap. Kagome smiled and hugged him tightly. That's when she remembered something. Setting the boys down on her chair, she walked outside and came back in with a bag. "I brought you something Souta."

 

She pulled a katana from the bag, then unsheathed it. The blade had a crimson phoenix on it that seemed to be alive if held in the correct light. Handing it to him, she let him test the blade. A huge smile lit up his face as he hugged her tightly. "Thanks sis!"

 

"No problem Souta." She reached back into the bag and pulled out another sword and handed it to Shippo. "You can now open your present." She laughed.

 

He hyperly unsheathed the blade and stared at it in awe. A gigantic fox seemed to fly across the blade, the hilt consisted of it's nine tails wrapping securely. Shippo's eyes lit enormously large as all he could do was look at the blade. Sheathing it gently, he placed it on the chair before flinging himself at his mother. She caught him easily. "Thank-you so much mommy!"

 

"You're welcome Shippo." She gently set him down as she turned back to the bag and pulled out another sword that she handed to a very surprised Hiei. "It's for helping me train, and it's one of the only things I thought you might like."

 

Hiei unsheathed the blade and everyone stared at it in awe. They could feel the demon power that had now awoken in the sword. The blade itself was pure black with a silver dragon winding down the blade. The hilt was black with a crimson dragon that had it's mouth open where the blade started. "Wow..." Botan stared at it amazed.

 

Kagome smiled at the awe and surprise on Hiei's face. "Totosai said that the blade carried several different powers and attacks. One attack is the flames from hell. The sword is called Gouka."

 

Botan's eyes widened immensely. "Totosai gave you Gouka?" She seemed almost fearful and everyone turned to look at her after Kagome nodded. "That sword was supposed to go into the Rekai vault. No one has ever before been able to wield it since it's first owner."

 

"You mean Lord Hotaro, don't you?" Botan nodded. "That's what Totosai said, but I had him change it a little bit. The blade is even more powerful now and it even holds some of my miko ki."

 

"What does Gouka mean mommy?" Shippo asked.

 

"It means hell's fire. That sword was forged by Totosai for the most powerful fire demon to ever live, but the fire demon gave his life to save his love when she was pregnant with his child."

 

Shippo's eyes suddenly widened. "I remember that legend. Momma told me that it was true and that she'd met his love."

 

Botan seemed lost at this point. "I've never heard that legend. I just know that that sword is extremely powerful."

 

"So do I. Inutaishou once wielded it and he barely had the power to surpass it. I'm just glad it's nothing like Sounga."

 

"You know about Sounga?" Botan asked amazed.

 

"Know about? I helped fight the damn thing! I made Inuyasha and Sesshomaru work together and they sent it to hell!"

 

Botan's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. "You're the priestess who fought Sounga?"

 

"Hai. I protected Rin until Sesshomaru saved us. Then we went to Inuyasha. It was because of me that Inuyasha was winning. He had to protect me."

 

"And Lord Sesshomaru was protecting Master Jaken and I." Chirped Rin.

 

"Oh, and you're not taking Gouka. It took a month and a half for Totosai to finish that damn sword and Hiei's keeping it!" With that said, she turned and walked into the kitchen. "What does everyone staying here want for dinner?"

 

Souta thought for a moment before he smiled. "How about oden?"

 

"Sounds great!" She exclaimed as she started on it.

 

Sango stood up at this point. "It seems that Kagome knows everyone, so I think it's time we all introduce ourselves to each other. I'm Sango."

 

"I'm Shippo!"

 

"Rin is Rin!"

 

"I'm Kohaku."

 

"I am Miroku."

 

"This is Kirara." Chirped Rin as she picked up the cat.

 

Yusuke looked at his friends and shrugged. "Name's Yusuke. I'm Kagome's cousin."

 

"I'm the great Kazuma Kuwabara." He grabbed Sango's hand. "Would you be my girlfriend?"

 

You could just see Sango twitching as Hiraikotsu seemed to fall on his head from no where. "Damn perverts." She muttered. Yusuke fell over laughing as Hiei smirked.

 

"Shuichi Minamino." Kurama bowed. "But call me Kurama."

 

Shippo looked at him suddenly. "You're the one with Youko's soul?"

 

"Hai." Shippo suddenly smiled devilishly and put one of his statues on Kurama's hands and pinned him to the floor.

 

That made everyone start laughing till Shippo talked next. "That's for hurting momma." He turned his back on the older kitsune and walked into the kitchen to see if he could help for dinner. There was a knock on the door.

 

"Get the door Yusuke!"

 

Yusuke started grumbling as he walked over and opened it. In the doorway stood a tall man with long black hair held up in a ponytail. Shiori came over and smiled. "Hello Lord Sesshomaru." She bowed. "You can drop your illusion."

 

He nodded and did so as he walked into the house. Rin squealed upon seeing him and flung herself into his arms. "Lord Sesshomaru!"

 

Kagome came out of the kitchen and walked over to him. She gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. Kurama was getting angry, but held it in due to the fact he was no longer her boyfriend. "Hey Fluffy."

 

The shard hunters' eyes widened at that name, but Sesshomaru chuckled. "It's good to see you too imouto. It seems you've finished the transformation."

 

"Hai." She turned back to the kitchen. "I need to get back to the food. Shippo, release Kurama then see him, Kuwabara, Botan, and Yusuke out."

 

"Hai momma." He released the statue and proceeded to kick the specified people out. Yusuke complained the entire time that he shouldn't have to leave since he was her cousin. Then he began complaining because Hiei wasn't getting kicked out too.

 

Kagome smiled to herself in the kitchen as she checked on the food before turning towards the living room. "Miroku, would you come here a second?"

 

"Coming Kagome-sama." He walked into the kitchen to see her sadly looking out the window. "What can I do for you?"

 

"Do you think you could collect their ashes for me?" She asked without turning to look at him.

 

He nodded sadly and said yes. She handed him two jars and he left to gather the ashes of her now dead family members. He returned and set both jars down on the counter next to her. He had a sad smile on his face as he hugged her. "You still have us Lady Kagome."

 

She smiled up at him. "Hai. I still have you and Sango, my brother and sister." Her smile grew a little sadder. "It seems I've lost Kurama, but it seems like I have Hiei now."

 

A lecherous smirk appeared on his face. "Why lady Kagome, I never knew that you liked short men."

 

She glared at her friend whom she thought of as her older brother. "You are so dead tonight. And I don't like him that way, I mean he's hot, but" Miroku's smirk only grew larger "oh shut up Miroku."

 

Hiei had heard the entire conversation and was surprised to find that she found him hot. He knew that he was falling for her, but perhaps she could fall for him too. Figuring that he needed to think of a plan, he got up to go to the Goshinboku when she called him into the kitchen as the monk exited it. "Hai?"

 

"Do you like the sword?"

 

"Yes, it's the first time anyone's really given me anything."

 

She walked over and hugged him tightly. "Well that makes me even happier that I did get you something. We'll be sparring tonight, right?"

 

"Hai." He answered as he left.

 

**&**

 

It was later that night and Kagome had her new sword and was ready for her training with Hiei. She was still upset over Kurama breaking up with her, because it seemed that if she fell in love with a man, he'd break her heart. This time, she decided to not get depressed over it. She was tired of being hurt, and so now she was just going to not fall in love.

 

Yep, that's the best thing to do. Unfortunately for her Hiei already is falling for her and wants her to fall for him. Even though he doubts she ever will. Currently Kagome is very frustrated because she wants to feel loved, wanted, and sexy, but she doesn't feel that way. Her mind was leaving her and heading elsewhere, or at least it was until she literally ran into Hiei.

 

"Opps. Sorry Hiei."

 

"Hn."

 

Rolling her eyes at her sparring partner, she crossed the yard and took up her stance, and thus the battle began. Hiei had to try to keep himself in check because he wanted more than anything to just rip her clothes off and mate with her. And that's when it hit him. He was going into heat! Of course his body had to choose now of all times to do it too.
