Kagome opened her eyes at night noticing how the stars were aligned and

cursed loudly in her mind. She would have five days left to figure out how to do

this, and she couldn't even heal those two without paining him and if she lied to

Sesshomaru and told him it was supposed to hurt like that, and he lived, he

would kill her.

Biting back the pain Kagome stood falling down the first few times then

slowly made her way towards where she saw a rabbit run off to. Too weak to

use her arrows - she didn't have any arrows left. Too weak in general she made

a trap for the rabbit and when it ran over it a few hours later after setting

numerous traps its leg broke. Kagome held it in her lap by its head in a poor

effort to stop it from running away and calmed herself. Realizing all along that

she couldn't truly calm herself she did the next best thing and tried shoving aside

all of her bitterness and coldness and focused on the task at hand. She was a

miko and did not have time for her own pettiness. She had to put others ahead

of her. She had to put this rabbit ahead of her and heal it so it could live.

And so that she could break its leg again and keep trying until she

perfected. Burning the rabbit constantly after about ten hours she succeeded in

healing it five times in a row. Normally if she really were a miko this would still

not be acceptable, but this wasn't under normal circumstances. Still feeling very

poor and that her stomach was very weak and sitting up right any longer was not

an option she passed out barley having enough time to put a barrier up.

Yoko stood over her in the tree noticing how weak the barrier was. She

didn't even have enough energy to make it for all youkai, only the weak ones,

and it was far too close to her body. Open target. Why was she so intent in

learning how to heal without causing pain though? She saved Yusuke's life and

closed up a good portion of Shuichi, what was so urgent? It had to do with

Sesshomaru, that was for sure, but…. Many things were not adding up and Yoko

did not have the answers and he knew he would find them from Kagome if given

time. Perhaps he could help her out without her knowing.

Kagome woke cursing in her mind again. She really should stay down

and wait for herself to at least be able to walk without biting her lip to prevent

from shouting out. But she didn't have the luxury of time. She found a rabbit in

one of her traps that she didn't remember making, but the knott in the sapling

was weak like hers and figured if a hunter were actually out here he wouldn't use

use a weak trap. Angry she forced herself to be on some level of calmness as

she cooked the rabbit not really liking the taste of cooked rabbit after getting used

to raw meat in most cases and went off. She found, by the stroke of luck, an

injured fox and managed to heal it the second try after it slashed her arm running

off. Pushing aside her want to kill it she ventured slightly more still weakening

until she saw a lesser snake youkai, got its attention and burned it with her miko

energy.

Do it right now or I swear…Kagome threw the snake youkai down pist.

She had killed it. Not wanting to waste more time she sat down looking off. The

hell did she know of purity and miko ways? She never cared before and she

wasn't raised as a miko. Always left all of the holly and spiritual matters to-

Kagome stood and realized what the hell was wrong with her. There was

no way that she could do this alone. She had to get help because she obviously

was going about this the wrong way. She stood walking towards the direction

she believed Kaeada's village to be and wondered how the hell she could get

there with only five days left. She could barley walk any faster than she already

was and she was ningen. Ningen. Ningen. She was pist and did a very good

job of hiding it. She would have to get there on her own. Would a horse be fast

enough? Best option, she wasn't up to slaying some youkai and riding on it

hoping it wouldn't kill her. Could ask Sesshomaru to give her a lift.

Hell no. He wants this but would rather not have his arm back for around

five hundred years than help her. Unless he thought she thought he thought this

then again…She was pist and kept trying to hide it. She walked towards a village

and presented herself as a miko and asked for a horse. She rode none stop

getting to another village before the horse winded and asked for another horse.

Keeping this process up she realized that there was no way she could go to

Miroku looking like… Well herself. A mask wouldn't work nor would a hood.

Was there some way to conceal her face with miko energy that she could do and

learn without killing herself while on this horse? No. She didn't know anything

that had to do with miko shit in the first place. So then she had to just come

straight out and say she never died like how most people think of death, but she

just felt it inside.

Kagome suddenly became very awake and threw a dagger towards the

base of a tree filling it with purification hearing a loud grunt. She dismounted and

went towards the trees.

“You would not be wounded if you didn't stalk people who do not want to

be followed.”

Yoko pulled the dagger out of his arm felling the hiss of purification. This

would not heal for a long while. “Perhaps I thought you wouldn't sense me.”

Kagome walked back to the horse. “Do not follow me.”

Yoko paused for a moment. “Fine.”

Kagome continued on hoping Yoko was being honest and twelve hours

later dismounted a worn out horse and heard gasps in the village as she entered.

She saw Miroku exit the house/hut staring at her in disbelief and walked up to

him entering the house.

“I know you want an explanation and I will give you one but I do not have

any time to spare. I assure you I am Kagome, yes I am acting different from

even when I was depressed, I am not a witch but I need your help.”

Miroku knew it was her as it took everything within himself not to ask what

happened. “What can I help, you, with.”

“I have three days left to figure out how to regrow Sesshomaru's lost limb

or he will kill me. I don't know how to and I can't even heal ningen, animals or

youkai without harming them at first, killing them or getting it correct five times

later. My energy is no longer pure and I have meditated and done everything

that I can think of to get it back that way but I can not and I need your help.”

Miroku looked at her for a while. “Kagome it's because you can't go back

to the way you were. I do not know what happened to you, but…It was great,

and not in a good way. We will have to work on getting you to work with your

tainted energy and accept the fact that you will never be pure again. Tell me this

Kagome, why is it that you look the same in essence, but I sense something

trying to escape from you.”

“I'm a youkai.”

Miroku's eyes widened. “The only reason you could survive with such a

blood loss. Tell me this then Kagome, as a miko in your current state and not as

a youkai, did you find the need and urge to kill without cause.”

“No.”

“Were you influenced by no longer being pure.”

“I am not a dark miko.”

“Then let me be the first to tell you, that to save your life, perhaps you

should be. Having dark energy instead of a clash of both would be the only way

to even think of healing without killing or causing harm. Even when you did heal,

there were scars and burn marks pain or not?”

“Yes.”

“A miko needs to be pure, and if you can not be pure good then perhaps

you can be, pure darkenss. But you must remember that it can not effect who

you are, you are not your energy but the energy is a part of you.” Miroku stood.

“Come. We must leave the village for this for I hope, that when I return you will

not be able to.”

Kagome followed Miroku out some ways from the village and sat down

leaning against a tree. Kagome stood in front of him.

“What.”

“Go to sleep. Your body is worn out and you are still recovering from a

wound. I know your time is short, and I don't plan on wasting it.”

Kagome did so, and when she woke up she found a fish cooling for her.

She ate it listening to Miroku.

“Do you consider yourself evil Kagome?”

“No.”

“Do you find yourself wanting to go back to the way you were when you

believed you were human?”

“No.”

“Then meditate on these thoughts. I will disturb you from it when deemed

fit. And act and think and dream as if you were youkai.”

Kagome opened her eyes hearing a loud thud in the forest and not seeing

Miroku anywhere. She didn't feel in danger. She stood walking towards the

noise to confront and not let it trap her when she saw a lesser youkai moving

about with blood on her mouth. She most likely wasn't strong enough to kill it

and normally would just walk past, except the creature felt threatened by her

being there and attacked her. Kagome charged her hand with an odd color blue

miko energy and quickly ducked out of the way getting slashed on her back as a

second youkai attacked. Pist she turned around going into its chest ripping out

its heart and when the second one tried running away she shot it with an arrow

over purifying it. She glared at the corps and walked back seeing Miroku sitting

down. He stood when she approached and approached her.

“Kagome you are wounded. Please allow me to-“

Kagome shoved him from her. “-What the fuck-“ She knocked him down.

“Do you think you are doing you fuck.”

Miroku stood away from Kagome with a smile on his face, her rear was

firmer than before. “Your eyes are blood red.”

Kagome walked up to Miroku. “The hell are you talking about-“

Miroku shoved a pot with water in front of her. “Look. And your energy is

balanced more now.”

Kagome saw it. The deepest blood red eyes in the world most likely. She

ignored Miroku's side comment about her surly to be the most beautiful youkai in

the world and spoke to him.

“What does this mean.”

“That you are no longer trying to fight that you are currently human and

your energy will now accept that. You are not youkai now though you are youkai.

Try shouting an arrow away from me Kagome.” Kagome did so and Miroku

spoke again. “The same color that Subaki's energy was. Congratulations

Kagome. Now we can work on your healing.”

Kagome spent the day trying to heal a row of injured animals that Mirkou

said were akin to ningen simply because they weren't youkai. It took half a day

not to kill them then he moved her up to youkai, a row of injured.

“An entire day to do so Kagome sama and I am impressed. Sleep.

Tomorrow you will try to re grow youkai limbs then I fear our time is up so you will

not miss your time with Sesshomaru sama.”

Towards the end of the next day Kagome managed to re grow limbs of

lesser youkai, but left them with a scar where the limbs were missing.

Sesshomaru would not approve of such. She then was moved up to more

powerful youkai and when forcing herself to use more energy, sometimes even

more than needed, she surprisingly did not kill them but re grew the limb nine

times out of ten. But the scar was still there.

“Lady Kagome I'm afraid I do not know how to rid the scar from these

youkai, perhaps it is a side effect. Miko energy no matter the type is not

supposed to heal youkai. I wish you best of luck - and as you see you are not

able to enter the village any longer.”

Kagome waited as Miroku brought her horse out to her. “Thanks.”

“You are most welcome lady Kagome. May I ask, what type of youkai are

you, so that when you return and I most hope that you do, that I am able to notice

you. I will inform Sango of this as well when she returns.”

“You both have seen me. I'm the forbidden child that asked what

happened to Shippo.”

Mirkou was hurt. That was why she was the way she was…”Why didn't

you tell us? We're your friends youkai or not you are like family to us - we

thought you were dead - you saw your own tomb!”

Kagome rode off shouting back to him. “I will explain later. I will send

word through pigeon for a later time before I come so that the villagers do not try

killing me.”

Kagome was glad that the Western palace was closer to the area she was

then before. She waited for Sesshomaru to come out of the palace.

“Your eyes are blood red. Good. Now, return my limb to me.”

Kagome stood in front of him looking at his arm. “Sesshomaru sama I am

able to return your arm, but there is a very good possibility that where your stub

and the new growth are there will be a scar and there has been nothing that I am

able to do of this matter.”

“Return my arm at once wench. I tire of your companions on my land.”

Kagome asked him to sit down since she was much shorter than her.

Complying, she knelt next to him and placed her hands on his arm, let her miko

energy surround her and extremely slowly moved down forming an arm of energy

roughly in the shape of his old arm. She continued holding onto the end and stub

and poured all of her energy into her arm. Sesshomaru watched as she

struggled seeing his arm very slowly form itself. She really was putting

everything she could into making him whole again. He saw blood coming down

her mouth and decided to speak.

“If you say you can restore youkai limbs I do not take you as a liar, but you

will be a liar if you are deceased before your task is done. Stop.”

Kagome did so passing out the moment the words registered in her mind.

Sesshomaru saw about half of his arm restored. She was able to finish the task,

but she would not be able to compare restoring youkai limbs to taiyoukai limbs.

His power was greater than her own, it would be impossible to restore his limb in

one try.

When Kagome woke up she began throwing up blood. It didn't hurt akin

to what koenma made happen to her but she had worn out her body. She

figured more than a day had passed in seeing as how they were no longer in the

forest but inside of his palace. She stood passing back out again. When she

woke she saw a skunk youkai in the room with her.

“You are told to eat and summon me once your energy is fully returned.”

Kagome basically had to wait for two days eating pure energy food forcing

herself to be better. She then informed the skunk and an hour later Sesshomaru

sat down on the floor.

“Return my limb.”

Kagome knelt doing the same thing. From where the stub was she made

energy flow over his entire arm in the shape roughly of an arm and started her

hands slightly above where she left off. When she finished the arm she kept hold

of him. The flesh was there, now for the bone. It was surprisingly easier and

bent his arm not feeling enough muscle tension and kept fueling him with miko

energy. She felt her mind begin to fuzz but kept going. She opened her eyes

seeing the stripes weren't there - How the hell was she supposed to get those

back? And the claws weren't there- Pist she pushed the rest of her energy into

his arm finding everything restored as she passed out.

Sesshomaru was very pleased. His arm functioned like the other did. But

there was the scar that she informed him off. Apparently there was nothing that

could be done, thus he had to accept the fact it would always be there. He took

the necklace off and spoke.

“Enter.” He let the youkai come towards them. “You could have any

youkai in the world for a mate yet you chose a forbidden one.”

Yoko stood over the two. “What can I say lord Sesshomaru, she has

grown on me. And she should be glad you removed this necklace of yours while

unconscious sama. This seems to be extremely painful.”

“It is. You are to be in China at this time.”

“Knowing you would know if I lied sama I am from the same area Kagome

is and am not the Yoko who is in China.”

She is from the future then. “Why.”

“She may be forbidden, but if someone truly wishes to harm her, they will

have to harm me, and I earn more of a reputation as the years go past sama.

Only those who believe they are more powerful or are will dare to harm her once

she is marked.”

Sesshomaru stood. “Leave my lands. You have two days to do so.”

Yoko bowed, picked up Kagome and left. He made his way back to where

he figured the rest would be camped out by that time and set Kagome down

seeing the rest, Yusuke, asleep. Apparently he truly was asleep if he didn't wake.

Hiei must have been somewhere else, because he would have either attacked

him or confronted him for holding onto Kagome. He laid her down seeing the

wounds she had acquired as ningen slowly heal. He hadn't followed her when

she confronted him and asked him not to, but she wasn't going to leave her to

Sesshomaru knowing what he was capable of. Not that he would be able to stop

him but he might be able to -

Yoko blinked. He really did care, and a lot. And it didn't feel out of place.

He sighed feeling Shuichi healed and was determined now more than ever to get

a body of his own somehow as he let the red head come out.
