Foxy
Chapter 3: Inuyasha's Mistake
 
They settled down in the beautiful area set before them. Kagome knew this peace would not last long as she sat back and closed her eyes. *SLAP! * Ah there it was. She inwardly chuckled at her friend's antics. She hoped they would tell the other that they loved each other soon.
 
She reached up to guardian rose and brushed her fingers against the soft petals. It responded by rubbing its silk like petals against her skin while seeming to bring a peace to her.
 
She knew that this peace would not last forever so she tried to enjoy it while it lasted for she could sense a long and frustrating day ahead of her tomorrow.
 
She went about her normal duties and they soon had eaten their meal and after a while had drifted off into their preferred dreamland.
 
The next day they set out and the forest that had seemed to go on forever tuned into road with sparse trees again. It seemed they were out of Youko's territory now. At least it wasn't so hot any more. They had yet to see any villages yet and the path they were walking on did not seem well traveled.
 
Though it was not really unexpected in this area it still came as a surprise when a giant bird-like youkai came swooping down and attacked screaming for the Shikon that it sensed.
 
The youkai wouldn't have been that hard to destroy on normal occasion but it seemed that it had brought friends. For every one they killed three more appeared.
 
The most surprising of the events was the Guardian's reaction to the attack. It happened so suddenly the group hardly had a chance to say anything as the small and beautiful vines grew longer and longer before they seemed to wrap around her body while the thorns grew out and looked deadlier than ever as they dripped toxic poisons onto the ground.
 
Other vines that did not have thorns went up and brought Kagome's hair into a bun so it did not get caught in battle. The toxic thorns steered clear yet seemed to move with her body.
 
Kagome momentarily panicked before she got a relaxing feeling from the Guardian. She knew she was safe as she fired arrow after arrow into the mayhem. The remaining vines that had not attached themselves to her suit of vines stretched out and cut down any youkia that got too close.
 
Kagome quickly got used to the sensation of the vine body suit and started subtle movements in the suits. She moved with it and one of the rocks the bird-like youkai had resorted to throwing missed her by a few inches. Kagome smiled to her self and was glad that the others didn't have to protect her now, and instead focus on the fight.
 
The battle rushed by as they fought off the hoards of youkai. Soon the bird creatures were flying off screeching all the way with their hasty retreat.
 
When the last of them had flown away the group quickly rounded on Kagome as the vines languidly unwound themselves off of Kagome and returned to its original place around her neck.
 
“What the hell was that Kagome?! That thing just grabbed you; it could have killed you in seconds. I knew trusting some random flower you found would be a bad idea. I just knew there was something wrong with it the moment it crawled around your neck.
 
“Kikyo would never have gone off and grabbed some random plant because it was pretty I mean for all we know it could be feeding off you or kill us all in our sleep!” Kagome's brain had partly shut down the moment she heard the name Kikyo come out of Inuyasha's mouth.
 
Oh she was still listening half-heartedly to Inuyasha's little speech and her heart grew colder with every word. Finally she could feel her temper surfacing as she held in the urged that said to peel off that look from his face. She was thinking to herself, `why is he yelling at me? I mean we defeated are enemy in half the time it usually takes. He just can't stand the fact that something else protected me. That jerk!'
 
The glove came off now. Her energy exploded with the anger she had been harboring for quite some time now. She was able to keep in her purifying powers but just barely for she knew that Shippo and Kilala were nearby. Plus this amount of energy could heart even the most pure hearted of warriors.
 
The Guarding seemed to react to her feelings for it re-suited her except since the danger was not as bad the thorns stayed to their petite size yet she still made quite a deadly appearance. Inuyasha had gone quiet and had stopped mid rant as he felt the explosion of power from the small woman. Her eyes had seemed to flare and for the not the first time ever he felt true fear of his friend.
 
The rest of the group had gone pale with each word the hanyou had said for they could feel a sense of foreboding in the air. They practically leapt back out of the way as they felt the anger radiating out of the miko.
 
They knew this was to be an unforgettable event they could feel it in the air. Before they could even blink Inuyasha seemed to be incased in a glowing sphere of pure energy. His face held a frightened look as Kagome approached him in a slow gait.
 
“Don't,” Her voice was a fierce snarl as she approached. “Don't you ever compare me too that lifeless doll you seem to adore. I know you loved her when she was once alive and I respect that. But wake up she's dead she did her duty and she protected to the Shikon well. But that reanimated corpse is not Kikyo and she never will be. She may hold a piece of my soul but that is it.
 
“So don't you ever make such crass and rude remarks again I might not feel so generous next time you piss me off so I suggest next time you watch you tongue.” Her voice was pissed at the end as she released Inuyasha from the energy sphere with burns that would have to heal naturally for his demon blood could not heal against the miko powers.
 
Kagome picked up the stuff she had dropped and continued to walk in the direction they had been heading before the attack. The rest of the group including Inuyasha followed behind wary of their companion's need to cool off.
 
The Guardian had uncurled itself when it finally felt its mistresses anger fade. As it settled down for a nap of sorts yet still kept a sensor out for trouble it relayed the report of what had happened to the silver for, protector of the territory and master of the plants.
 
The group walked on as they headed to rougher mountain terrain where a demon had been said to have been seen that had extraordinary powers. The Youko rubbed his chin thoughtfully as he listened to the Guardian. “This will be more interesting than I have first thought.” Those words echoed into the area as the fox raced off to find his partner in crime.
 
 
Yes, yes the elusive author has finally updated I hope this will tide you over till the next chapter. I know it's a bit small but I need some ideas so I ask you to please send them in and I'll try to get out a new chapter faster than it took this one to get out.

Oh yah I want to know do want Kagome to meet up with Kurama in the future?
