The Pure Miko

 

Chapter 2

 

Kagome rushed to her car that was in a parking lot two buildings down from her Feudal Era course. She pulled out her keys that were in a front pocket of her jeans. She spotted her Sapphire blue 2006 Mustang between two trucks and changed her direction slightly to the right so that she would run up right next to it. She pushed a button twice that symbolized a lock that was open on her small controller for her car. A clicking sound was heard as she reached her car. She opened the drivers' side door and put the load in her arms on the passengers' side. She quickly got in the car and shut the door. She pulled her small purse out of the glove compartment and rested it on top of her books. She pulled a set of black sunglasses on and cranked up her car. She looked behind her carefully before she slowly backed out of the parking space. Kagome slowly left the campus with ease and took off toward the higher valued section of Tokyo, Japan.

 

Kagome revved up her engine and speed off. She weaved in-between traffic and passed tons of cars that were going over the speed limit as it was. Kagome turned on her CD player in her car and was met with music by a singer called BoA.

 

“Your still my number one,” Kagome sang along with a song that she particularly liked. Kagome loved American music, but she didn't stop listening to her more familiar music. Kagome's second language was English. She was rather fluent in the language and that was in part why she loved American music. She loved all types of American music with the exception of rap. Rap was something that she was not fond of, but could deal with it if she had to. She had even managed to get some of her old high school buddies to listen to English music. They didn't appreciate it as much as she did of course due to the fact that they were not as familiar with the words as she was, but they seemed to like it all the same.

 

Kagome signaled her car's blinker and took an exit that went up rather than down like most. She merged into the lane at the end and then again revved up her engine. She sped down the roads yet again as she sang along with the music.

 

Five minutes later, Kagome parked at the top of a huge parking garage. It was connected to three interconnected skyscrapers. Kagome grabbed her purse. She pushed it into her car's glove compartment. She locked her car, and walked down a corridor that connected the garage and the connecting skyscraper. At the end of the corridor was a set of elevators. She pressed a button that had an arrow pointing down. The doors automatically opened for her with a small ding. Kagome stepped in and turned around. She pressed the button that labeled itself as `1'.

 

Kagome smiled slightly to herself. She could feel their energies now. They were both holding onto their power levels, but that didn't mean that she didn't feel them. She had more knowledge of their powers and aura to not have to use her miko senses to notice those two. She knew that they were in the Human world against the Demon and Spirit world's rules, but she was not concerned. They had spent more than four hundred years in the Human world from what she could gather, and they had perfected the art of hiding their demon energies.

 

The elevator stopped at the first floor. The doors opened with a ding. Kagome stepped out and was immediately greeted by a young female. She was thin with long legs. Her hair was a dirty blond, and her lips were glossed over by a light shade of pink. She wore no mascara, but she wore the usual make-up for young woman these days: base, blush, eyeliner, and the like. She had on a formal white shirt with a pair of sleek form fitting black pants.

 

“Miss Higurashi?” she asked.

 

“Yes, ma'am?”

 

“Please follow me,” she said and turned around. She walked down the hallway closing in on a huge set of doors. She opened a door toward them. Kagome saw a room with a long table and surrounding table in it. There was a small bar at the back with clean expensive glasses next to it. This was obviously the conference room.

 

Kagome didn't stop to observe the drinks presented on the bar for she had spotted a man with dark black hair. She rushed past the assistant that had escorted her to the conference room and flung herself into a strong pair of open arms. She held onto his neck as if it was her only lifeline that connected her to this world. Kagome felt that if she did let go too soon, then she would die. She had been waiting to see these two men for the past two years. She didn't know if she could take it if they were taken from her again.

 

She shut her eyes as tears started to appear at the edges of her vision.

 

The assistant gaped at them with wide eyes.

 

“You are dismissed,” a voice, behind the man she was hugging, said.

 

Kagome smiled at the sound of the voice, but she did not relinquish her hold on the man in her arms. The door shut with an almost unheard click.

 

“Kagome,” the man in her arms gasped out.

 

“Inuyasha, I have missed you so much!” Kagome gasped out loud as a rebellious tear fell down her cheek and landed on his black suit.

 

Kagome released him from her arms, but kept herself close to him. A cough was heard behind Inuyasha. Kagome side stepped Inuyasha and slammed her body into the second man in the room.

 

He chuckled at her reaction before he gave her a hug in return. A low growl reached his ears. Kagome wouldn't have heard it or she would have started yelling at them and demanding an explanation for it. He looked up at his half-brother with a cocky smile. He knew why he had growled at him, but he wasn't going to let him win. He had spent the last five hundred years waiting for this woman in his arms just like he had. He was not going to let her go now that she was back under his watchful eye.

 

Kagome was crying full force now. She buried her face in his shirt not caring that it was getting wet with her tears of joy.

 

“Please stop crying, Kagome. You know that I hate it when you do that.” a whine was heard behind her. She looked up at the handsome face before her.

 

“Hey, Sesshomaru. Miss me?”

 

Sesshomaru smirked a little, “Always.”

 

Kagome ignored this comment. He had been acting funny the last few weeks of her time in the Feudal Era.

 

She stepped back from his embrace and stood on her own two feet.

 

Kagome turned to face both occupants of the room with a smile. She wiped off a few stray tears. “I am not crying because I am upset, Inuyasha. I am crying because I am so happy. I have missed you guys so much these past two years.”

 

Inuyasha snorted. “Yeah, well. Think about how long we had to wait for you?”

 

Kagome gave a watery smile before she replied; “I see your point.”

 

Silence accompanied these words. Kagome composed herself while the half-brothers were silently glaring at one another. Kagome looked at them with their appearances of being human. Inuyasha looked exactly like he did when he turned human. He was a half-breed so he had one night a month of being his other half, a human. Sesshomaru, however, was absolutely hot. His eyes were a pale brown color; they were almost the color of amber that his eyes were normally. His face was just as refined as in his demon humanoid from and his hair was pitch black with a shine to it. He was tall as was to be expected, but so muscular that it was obvious that he had not slacked off in the last five hundred years that she had seen him.

 

I can now see why he has so many fan girls after him. He is rich and good looking! Damn! It should be illegal to look this good even while looking human!

 

Kagome could remember her friends putting up pictures of Sesshomaru in their lockers. She once stumbled upon one with Inuyasha also in it. She had immediately recognized them and inquired about them to her giggling friends. She had found out that they were brothers that owned the most successful business in Tokyo. They were very young for their age, and were not dating anyone at the time. Kagome had tracked them down and gave them a call. It took her a few days to get a hold of them on the phone, but it was worth it. They never actually met before now, but they often sent e-mails to one another. They had waited until she had almost finished up her senior year of high school before they approached her on a job with them. She found out that they didn't just buy, sell, and make electronics, they had a secret organization set up that killed any rogue demons that the Spirit world couldn't handle on their own or know about. It was at that time that Kagome had learned about the barriers and it's later downfall. She then learned about the four worlds. The barrier was no longer there, however. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were encountering more and more demons that were not obeying the new set of Demon world laws. Most of the demons were not powerful enough to harm them, but they were coming in great numbers and they could use her miko powers to help out on the big encounters that they were coming across.

 

Sesshomaru could take care of them all by himself, but they needed to be discreet in their operations. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha would be noticed too much not to draw the attention of the humans in this world.

 

Once Kagome had contacted them, she had received her Mustang only two days later. She would have had it the day after, but Sesshomaru sent it to a mechanic to have it specialized. Although the term mechanic is a very vague representation of what he could do to a car. The `mechanic' was actually a demon who worked under Sesshomaru. He had fitted her new car with all sorts of gadgets and gismos that Kagome is still playing with.

 

She loved the fact that it could track demon energies! A special system was built in to track the demon's energy so that she didn't have to use her miko powers. It saved her the trouble of hunting them down if Sesshomaru didn't take care of it. Which he usually did, but there were those instances where she had to kill a low class demon in the slums, when the Spirit world didn't interfere that is. Another favorite feature was the locator. This locator told her the exact location of her family at all times. How the mechanic had managed to do that was beyond her. All she knew was that she was grateful for the added security on her family. Once she started to world with her past again, she didn't want her family in danger. The locator could track them from anywhere in the world, besides the Demon world. Once they were there, they could not be tracked by a mere device. Kagome was happy because of this fact for if by chance that they somehow did end up in the Demon world then she was the first one going to torture the demon that took them. Because you can be assured that only a demon could take them away from her, if at all.

 

“So, where is Shippo?” she asked.

 

“He is out on a mission. Do not worry. He has a partner with him. Although he won't need it.” Sesshomaru quickly explained. He knew that Kagome would be pissed if her son got hurt because of something that someone else could have done. He wanted to gain her favor, not have her pissed off at him for who knows how many weeks.

 

Inuyasha knew what he was doing. And he didn't like it one bit. “So, why don't I take you on a tour. I know that you are going to want to meet the other members of the team.”

 

“Yeah, but what will I do when I am not working on missions and the like?”

 

“You will not be on missions all the time so you will be working with-,”

 

Sesshomaru cut him off. “You will be working as my personal assistant. That will allow you to move freely around the buildings and have all the access to every room.”

 

Inuyasha growled softly. He wanted Kagome by his side again.

 

“Oh, okay. So where are we going? What floor?”

 

Inuyasha snickered a little. “Kagome, we don't have a floor for the missions. They are underground.”

 

“Really? Well, that explains a lot.”

 

“And how is that my dear, Kagome?” Sesshomaru asked curiously.

“Well, I sensed that there were more demons in this area than anywhere else in Japan for the past two years at least. I just couldn't figure out where they were.”

 

Inuyasha blinked. He blinked again. His mouth opened in a gapping manner before he shouted, “What? Your not suppose to feel the demons down there!”

 

“I am the Shikon Miko am I not?” Kagome replied with a little annoyance in her voice.

 

Once Inuyasha couldn't come up with anything as a come back, Kagome continued with her explanation. “I noticed that the people in these three buildings are almost all completely human. You have two half demons to the right of this building while you have a full demon on the sixth…no seventh floor in this building. Hey, is the floors underground the reason you have the skyscrapers in a triangle formation? More space?”

 

“Yeah, but I'm surprised that you have gotten better at your skills, Kagome.” Inuyasha said in awe. “Well, at least compared to that wimpy brat you were before…” Inuyasha muttered that last part to himself in fear of Kagome's wrath.

 

Now, unfortunately for Inuyasha, Kagome may not have been able to hear the low growls exchanged between the two brothers before her, but she sure as hell heard what he had just said.

 

“Inuyasha, sit boy.” Kagome's eyes flashed in aggravation and annoyance.

 

Inuyasha slammed into the conference floor with a small thud. Kagome had deliberately whispered this so that he wouldn't hit the ground with a loud smack. She didn't want anyone to come in here wondering if everything was all right or if someone was hurt.

 

Why did he have to always compare her to something that she once was? I mean, he use to compare her to her incarnate, Kikyou, and now he was comparing her to the weak girl that she once was. She may not have changed much in the physical sense of the word, but Kagome was very much different from the fifteen-year-old girl that fell down an old well. Sesshomaru trained her in the art of defense, and she had perfected her miko powers.

 

“Ouch, damn it, Kagome! What was that for?”

 

“You may have grown up Inuyasha, but you have not learned to keep your mouth shut.”

 

Inuyasha looked up to see a full blown out smirk on Sesshomaru's face from behind Kagome's back.

 

Kagome turned around to face Sesshomaru as he quickly erased the smirk off his face.

 

“So, what about that tour?”

 

“Follow me,” he said with a microscopic smile. He turned around and went to the bar. He side stepped next to it and waited for Kagome to pay attention to what he was doing.

 

“All of our buildings have one place in them to get in. All of the access doors are next to the bar in the conference rooms. Under the bar there is a red button that you push to open the hidden doors.” Sesshomaru explained.

 

Sesshomaru placed his hand under the counter and moved one finger up against it. The wall in front of them suddenly swung open facing the inside. An elevator was a short distance away from the now open wall.

 

“Nice!” Kagome grinned.

 

Inuyasha walked up behind them as they started forward. The elevator doors opened silently as they got close. No ding was heard.

 

They stepped through the doors and faced them as they silently closed. The elevator moved downward on its own account. There were no markings or buttons to speak of.

 

Two minutes later the elevator doors opened without a sound. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru quickly walked forward. Kagome took two steps out of the elevator and stopped on the spot.

 

Kagome was in awe! Before her very eyes was a gigantic room. She could see cubicles all around the room as far as she could see. The room was sectioned off. One section was filled with equipment like whips, swords, and daggers. She saw a lot of stuff in that section she didn't even know what the heck it was. The second section that caught her attention was an area with a huge screen and tables in front of it. A super computer was next to it with a huge demon sitting in front of it.

 

Inuyasha saw her line of sight and explained, “That is where we show all of our information. It maybe a class of demon review or the new weapons coming in for examination. We mainly show it for informational purposes before a mission.”

 

Kagome nodded to show that she understood. She looked at another section that had an enclosed section for medication for any hurt or injured demons and humans. Another area was for bathrooms and another was a small break area.

 

“Wow!” Kagome said in exasperation.

 

Inuyasha chuckled at the look on her face. He and Sesshomaru walked down a small flight of steps to reach the main floor.

 

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha then decided to drop their disguises. Their silver hair flashed out and their eyes turned amber. Their clothes changed as well. Sesshomaru was in his old white outfit minus the armor and Inuyasha was in his formal fire rat attire. Sesshomaru's markings and crescent moon appeared and Inuyasha's ears made themselves known.

 

Tensaiga and Tokijin appeared at Sesshomaru's side and Inuyasha's Tetsaiga appeared on Inuyasha. It seemed like they had them with them at all times even after all the years.

 

Kagome followed.

 

“If you have any questions then as ask one of us or anyone here.” Inuyasha said.

 

“Thanks, Inuyasha, but I think I can handle it.”

 

“Keh,” was Inuyasha's intellectual response. Even after five hundred years, he still held onto that one fraise for everything that he didn't want to answer or explain.

 

“Follow me.” Sesshomaru commanded.

 

Kagome followed him to the far right. It took them a good ten minutes to get there for the place was so huge.

 

As they drew closer to their destination, Kagome saw where Sesshomaru was leading them. Kagome discovered more sections of the home base. She couldn't see all of the room before because of her human eyes.

 

Kagome saw a weight training area, a sword fighting area, and a staff-to-staff practice area. Sesshomaru, by all appearances, was leading them to the sword training area. The occupants all ready knew the sword for they seemed to be testing their skills against one another.

 

As Kagome walked toward them, she was not ignorant of the stares and questioning gazes passed her way. Some watched her with lustful glances while others looked at her as if she was a disease. Most of those looks, Kagome noted, came from demons. Most of the demons raised their energies to press it against her own to see if she would react or notice.

 

Kagome, however, found this odd and annoying. She found it odd that they raised their energy levels. Weren't they concerned about letting Spirit world discovering their energy and sending them back to the demon world? Almost half of the beings in this underground operation were demons of some sort.

 

Kagome then looked up. She saw a protection shield around the entire base. That barrier allowed her to notice the demons' energy for she was a miko, but she assumed that the Spirit world had no notice of it. That would explain the peace and ease of the demons using their powers so openly. Kagome wondered if the barrier would hold her energy in as well. Kagome had learned that she could use her powers to a certain point until the Spirit world would notice her presence. She had learned to hold her powers in so to avoid detection. She didn't want them falling over her wondering why she was so strong in her powers. She was the most powerful miko since Midoriko after all. Add the fact that she was one of the few remaining mikos known to be alive. Yes, Kagome did not want to be found. If she was found by the wrong people then she could very well get her demon friends in a lot of trouble. Then again, Spirit world couldn't do much about it, but Kagome didn't want to take that chance.

 

Kagome raised her miko powers a notch to see if Sesshomaru would tell her to stop. His gaze remained forward.

 

Kagome felt another nudge from more of the demons surrounding her now. She raised her energy again. A light pink color surrounded her. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru kept close to her, but Kagome noticed Inuyasha glancing at her nervously. It had been a long time since he had felt her kind of power.

 

Some demons backed off once Kagome's clear warning was noticed. Other not so intelligent demons continued their persistence.

 

Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Kagome stopped at the edge of the sword training area. All of them stopped immediately once Sesshomaru stopped and watched them. They, as a unit, sheathed their swords in the sheath at their waists. Their muscles remained tense. Kagome counted six in total.

 

“Kagome, meet your new team mates.” Inuyasha introduced. “Shippo and Itachii are out on a mission.”

 

Eight total beside myself. Kagome thought.

 

Four of her new team mates faces brightened once they knew her name. They cracked smiles at her and eased the tension in their muscles. The other two frowned and tensed their muscles even more.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru, please tell me that this is a joke?” a tall demon with blond hair asked.

 

“No, it is not.” he calmly replied.

 

Sesshomaru remained calm. He knew there was going to be a confrontation among these two at least; however, he wanted to see how Kagome would handle the situation. He also knew that Sagero could feel the holy powers coming off her. He just chose to ignore them like a fool with no knowledge on what the miko in front of him could really do.

 

“But she is human. Humans don't go on missions!” he almost yelled at Sesshomaru.

 

“I believe that you are underestimating me, sir.”

 

Kagome tried to remain calm. Her temper was unfortunately rising to the surface. She looked at Sesshomaru to see his reaction.

 

He raised an eyebrow at her in question.

 

“Sesshomaru?”

 

“By all means Kagome.”

 

“Why don't I spar with you? My training has gotten rusty with no training partner for over two years, so will you be willing to test me on my abilities?” Kagome suggested.

 

“I cannot. Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Inuyasha, and Shippo will be unhappy when you are dead.”

 

So he does know about me from Shippo at least. He may not know that he is my son, but he does know about me. And yet, he still decides to not acknowledge me for what he knows I am. I think that this is something that I will have to take care of on my own. Kagome thought with an internal grin. It was time to show these demons why she was not to be taken lightly.

 

Besides, Kagome thought. This is a perfect opportunity to take off some stress from my first class earlier this morning.

 

“Then you are saying no to an easy opponent?”

 

“No,” he replied.

 

“Then I don't see the point of your refusal. I am sure that with your expert skills you will be able to defeat me without killing me.”

 

The demon was stuck on this statement. He hesitated. Kagome saw this and moved in for the kill.

 

“Or are you worried that I might defeat you?”

 

He cracked.

 

He snorted at her and unsheathed his sword. The other demons in the area moved out of the way so that they could have space to move without interference.

 

“Pick a sword.”

 

“Thank you.” Kagome said with a smile and gratitude evident in her voice.

 

“Inuyasha, can I borrow your Tetsaiga?”

 

“But you can't use it!”

 

“Please?”

 

Inuyasha grudging handed his most precious sword to Kagome. She pulled the sword out of the sheath and handed the sheath back to Inuyasha. “I won't be needing this.”

 

Inuyasha took it with confusion written all over his face.

 

Kagome faced her opponent. “May I know your name, sir.” Kagome asked respectfully.

 

“Sagero.” he replied.

 

Kagome nodded. She bowed to her opponent and he returned the gesture. They both came up from the bow and systematically attacked one another at the same time.

 

Their swords met at every turn. Neither Kagome nor Sagero pulled an advantage over the other. They both were watching the other with utter concentration. They were looking for the other to do something stupid.

 

Sagero did have to admit that he was impressed with Kagome's skill. He was only warming up though. This miko was going to get a big surprise.

 

“Why don't we finish this up? I have someone waiting for me over there and I would very much like to see him.”

 

“By all means, lets”

 

Sagero suddenly vanished from Kagome's vision.

 

Kagome reeled around to block a sword coming out from behind her.

 

Kagome raised her powers and forced them into Tetsaiga. The blade glowed pink with her purification powers. She moved Tetsaiga down and up again as if it was too heavy to carry anymore.

 

Sagero saw this and moved forward to strike her against her arms. He wanted her to let go of the sword without killing her, but he wanted her to be hurt enough to admit defeat. He was the captain of this team when Shippo wasn't around. He was not going to be replaced by a mere human woman. No, that was not going to happen to him. He had spent the past seven years getting to where he was now. He was not giving that up without a fight.

 

Sagero saw that something was wrong a few moments after he advanced forward. Kagome raised the Tetsaiga with ease and a blast of almost unseen pink light crashed into his body. He flew back and slammed onto the floor. His sword, which he had been holding onto with a death grip, flew out of his hands and skidded on the floor ten feet from him. He tried to get up to quickly retrieve it, but Kagome had the Tetsaiga pointed at his throat. She stood above him with eyes so cold that she would have made Sesshomaru proud.

 

“Never underestimate your opponent no matter the species or gender. That will be your undoing, Sagero.”

 

Kagome moved back to allow him to stand up. Kagome offered her hand for him to grab up. He hesitantly took it. He didn't know what to expect from the woman standing before him. He hadn't expected her to be worth anything to their operation, and he certainly didn't expect her to defeat him with ease. The wildest thing about her that he didn't know about her kindness and forgiveness. Kagome was a complete mystery to him. She was not turning out as he had imagined she would be.

 

Cheers erupted around them once Sagero was back on his feet. Clapping was heard and so were very loud ear piercing whistles.

 

“Can I ask you something, Lady Kagome?” Sagero asked.

 

“Only if you call me Kagome,” Kagome smiled back at him. Her voice and eyes had gone back to their normal warmth.

 

“Of course, Kagome.”

 

“Well, in that case, ask away!”

 

“Who trained you?” Sagero asked bluntly and to the point.

 

“Oh, Sesshomaru. He helped me with controlling my miko powers and he taught me how to use different kinds of weapons.”

 

Everyone listening that didn't know Kagome and her old friends past were stunned into silence.

 

“Kagome!” a voice called out.

 

Kagome looked behind her and ran straight into Shippo's arms.

 

Shippo was a red fox demon with auburn hair. He was muscular and lean like the other demons there. His face no longer held any childish appearances and his tail had gotten thinner, silkier, and smoother.

 

His green eyes spoke of untold stories and lose. They told Kagome that he had had a long five hundred years without her. They seemed to spark to life under her scrutiny and he laughed.

 

“Shippo! You have gotten so big!”

 

“And you haven't changed a bit.” Shippo replied.

 

“Yeah, well, you know how it is?”

 

“Yes, I do.”
