The Pure Miko

 

Chapter 12

 

The Pure Miko walked away from Yusuke Urameshi with her powers still at the surface. Kagome didn't understand what was wrong with her though. She had felt her powers starting to recuperate, but they should have been recovered by now. She had never taken this long to get her powers back to butt-kicking status before, and it was starting to worry her. But she calmly brought herself out of those thoughts. She was tired and angry. She just needed to get extra sleep tonight and she would be back to her normal self by tomorrow morning.

 

She was well aware now that everyone besides Spirit world knew that she was the Pure Miko of legends. But she had to wonder if the demon that she had fought knew that, too. It would explain why he was watching her since birth as he had said, and it would also explain why he only needed her to take over the four worlds.

 

But if he has been watching me for my entire life then Sesshomaru has to have records of that. Knowing Sesshomaru he's been watching me since I was born! He has probably watching me just like the demon was. Maybe he has some records of that. Kagome thought. She turned to the left so that she headed toward the Records Department.

 

She walked into an area that had so many filing cabinets and computers that Kagome couldn't begin to guess how many they had.

 

“Hey,” she greeted a demon at a desk.

 

“Good evening, Lady Kagome. How may I help you?”

 

“I need all the files that you have on my since my birth. I want everything from rumors about me to a list of people who want me dead. I want all of this before I go home in two hours.”

 

The demon stood up immediately. “Yes, Lady Kagome. I will get everyone on it at once.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

Kagome left him to do his work. It would do her no good to hang over his shoulder. Demons and humans alike were all ready nervous about having her around as it was. There was no need to make them even jumpier than normal. She made her way to one of the many information desks in the Information area. This area was one of the larger ones.

 

She moved up to a desk with a human female sitting at it. “Tell Kimiko to report to me directly once she finds out everything she can. And make copies of all of the information for all of the managers, supervisors, and owners. And make sure that you give me the originals.”

 

“Yes, Lady Kagome.”

 

Kagome left, and made her way to a vending machine. She selected a Diet Dr. Pepper and a small bag of Cooler Ranch chips (she had made Sesshomaru install them two months ago). She needed the caffeine that she could get from the soda and she needed the chips to keep up her energy. Something was wrong with her, and she knew it.

 

“What's wrong, Kagome?” Inuyasha asked as he sat next to her.

 

“Nothing. I'm just tired that's all.”

 

“Are you sure. It seems to be a bit more than that.”

 

“Yeah,” Kagome reassured him.

 

Inuyasha saw the far away look that she had on her face and decided that he was not going to pressure her any more than he had.

 

“Well, I have several people looking into the situation at the moment.” Kagome said, becoming serious. “All I can do now is wait for ever one to get back to me.”

 

“If you are finished with that why don't you come with me and spar. I haven't fought you in a few days.”

 

Kagome stood and threw her trash a way, taking a large gulp of her soda before disposing of it in the trashcan.

 

“How are your ribs by the way. They took a worse beating than your back.” Kagome chuckled at him as they made their way to a sparing area.

 

“Just fine thank you very much. That was a cheap shot.”

 

“You're the one that decided to tease me. You got what was coming to you.”

 

“Keh,” Inuyasha grumbled. He pulled Tetsaiga out of his waist band and placed it on the table a few feet away. On the rack that held all of the normal swords he pulled an expensive one out of its sheath and stood in a fighting stance, waiting for Kagome to pick out a sword.

 

Kagome went to the back of the wall and picked up a long sword. The steal shined and the edges were sharpened to the swords full potential. This was obviously not a sword for a non-experienced swordsman.

 

“So you ready to be on your butt again?” Kagome asked arrogantly.

 

“Don't get cocky, Kagome. You are the one that is going to be on the ground.”

 

Kagome raised an eyebrow at him. She had learned this trick from Sesshomaru, rather well he thought.

 

“Really, can you back that statement up?” she asked him.

 

“We'll see!” Inuyasha shouted back at her. He raced forward to attack her with no hesitation.

 

Kagome dodged his attacks with a second of escaping. She felt sweat pour down her brow as she continued to dodge his attacks with throwing a few sword slices in the fight as well. Some thing was wrong with her, and she was seriously starting to worry about it now.

 

She was thrown back to the ground with a slash from her favorite half-breed. She rolled on the floor, but did not have any injury. She had managed to block with her sword. But the miko could not bring her body to move off of the floor. Some thing was sapping her energy. Something was taking her powers.

 

She tried to get up again, but fell to the floor in exhaustion. She had never felt so weak in her life.

 

“Kagome! Sesshomaru, get your ass over here now!” Inuyasha shouted as loud as he could. All of the demons stopped everything that they were doing and stared at the fallen miko. They had never seen Lady Kagome on the ground before. Even on the rare occasion that she would fight Lord Sesshomaru she had never been smashed onto the floor. Seeing her on the cement like this was very disturbing to all. Something was not right with the Legendary Lady Miko. Something was very wrong.

 

“Kagome! Can you hear me?” Inuyasha questioned the miko as he knelt down at her side. She nodded a little to indicate that should. She was just to tired to reply vocally.

 

“What happened?” Sesshomaru asked as he appeared next to her.

 

“I don't know. We were sparing and she didn't dodge my attack. Medic! Get over here!”

 

“So what does that have to do with anything? She's probably tired, that's all.” Kuwabara commented.

 

Yusuke and he didn't seem overly concerned about this recent development. All of the surrounding demons, however, had looks of horror and shock written on their faces.

 

“No, you don't seem to get it! Kagome has never, never been this weak in over two years. Since she came back, I still have not managed to defeat her in a fight.” Inuyasha told them. “Medic!”

 

Hiei looked at Youko. And although his face showed no signs of worry, he was not fooled. The few hundred years that the notorious bandit lived had made him almost impossible to read. But Hiei was no fool when it came to the demon that stood beside him. Youko was just as concerned as Sesshomaru on this matter. And from the feelings that he sensed in the demon lord, Hiei would have to say that that was no small fete.

 

It was obvious to him that the three demons surrounding the small miko were infatuated with her. And he could not deny that he understood what drew them to her. Kagome was the most interesting and passionate person that he knew. No other could compete with her loyalty and kindness. No other could even begin to show the understanding that she possessed. She was a one of a kind. But while he did not have his sights set on courting her, like the fox, the dog, and the half-breed, he was also looking for something in Kagome that only she could give.

 

He was looking for a sister; someone that could understand him and his past. He knew that he could not tell Yukina that he was in fact her long lost brother. He just couldn't tell her about him. She didn't need to know about his past. Hiei was under no illusions about what he had done in his past. He was not very proud of it. Some of it, yeah he was proud of what he had done. But most of it he regretted. It was funny really. He didn't start feeling remorse for his actions until he had met Kagome, the purest of pure mikos.

 

Yukina didn't need to be burdened with his past. She deserved better than that. She deserved all of the happiness in the world. And if he had to keep his identity a secret from his own sister to keep her happy, then that is what he will do.

 

But Kagome was different. She knew about his past. Of that he was sure. She knew about his worries, his skills, his torment, and she even knew about his compassion. She was the perfect person to confide in.

 

And at this moment, she was hurt with a power hungry demon after her. And that would not do. No one hurt his sisters and got away with it.

 

“What were you fighting you for anyway?” Shippo demanded as he came on the scene.

 

“We were sparing. I thought that it would get her to think clearly. She needed to think, and sparing is the best way to do that for her!” Inuyasha retaliated.

 

Sesshomaru placed her in his arms, having her lean against his chest on the ground. Inuyasha placed his hand on her forehead when his half-brother had settled her. Once he had contact with her forehead, he moved away with a hiss.

 

“She's burning up!” he told them all.

 

“Youko?” Sesshomaru asked of the Spirit fox.

 

Youko Kurama moved forward to examine her. Kagome looked at him weakly.

 

“Do you know what is happening to you?” Youko asked her softly. His fingers started to move across her body of any punctures that could have caused this sudden illness.

 

“Some…” Kagome gasped out.

 

“What is it?” Sesshomaru asked.

 

“Some thing is draining my energy. Something is inside me, taking my powers.” Kagome closed her eyes in a rare show of defeat.

 

“Do you think?” Shippo asked with his question open for someone to continue.

 

“The blast… It did something to me.” Kagome whispered; her eyes still closed.

 

“But your powers…” Inuyasha gasped. “They should have taken care of anything that might have been caused by that creep.”

 

“Not if her powers did not feel it as a threat.” Youko said, his hands finally at his sides. “I found no points of entry on her body. It must have evaded when she was blasted and rendered unconscious.”

 

“What can we do?” Sagero asked as he stepped forward.

 

“There is no plant that can deal with this kind of power.”

 

“Then what the hell do we do?” Inuyasha demanded.

 

“My Lords, there are some ways that can help Lady Kagome.” A medic said. He had arrived earlier, but he knew that at this point there was nothing that he could do for the Pure Miko.

 

“What?” Sesshomaru asked coldly.

 

“There are two ways that she can be healed at the moment. Youko knows that if this had been found sooner that he would have been able to counter the effects earlier, but that is not the case. The blast that she was hit with is feeding off of her energy. Only two things can be done now to save her.”

 

“But how can that psycho demon feed off of miko energy?”

 

“I do not know about that My Lord, but I do know that is what is happening to Lady Kagome.”

 

“What are our options?” Shippo asked calmly. He would address the issue of a demon taking and using Kagome's energy later, but for now he just wanted to save his mother.

 

“You can either heal her like you would a demon or you can see if she can force whatever is in her body out.”

 

“I have an idea.” Kagome whispered to them. Her voice was so low that even the demons what a hard time hearing her.

 

“What is it?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“I want you to get everyone out of this place within a five mile radius.”

 

“What? Why?” Yusuke asked.

 

“I'm going to get…rid of whatever…is in…me.” Kagome said in a broken whisper.

 

“How do you expect to do that, Kagome? You don't even have the strength to get off of the ground.”

 

“I have reserves of power…that is guarded…inside of me. Nothing…can touch it.”

 

Sesshomaru nodded as if he understood what she was saying. Everyone else just looked at her as if she was loosing her mind.

 

“I want everyone out of here in five minutes. And you heard her, five miles. Youko, you are staying with us.”

 

As soon as Sesshomaru gave his orders every employee moved as fast as they could run, or in some cases fly, out of the exits

 

“What the hell?” Yusuke asked.

 

“Move! Every demon within five miles will be purified as soon as she lets loose her full power. Now move!” Sesshomaru hissed at them with a raise in his voice.

 

The rest of the remaining demons and humans moved to follow his command. They did not want to piss off the great demon lord.

 

“Take me to the center of the base…” Kagome whispered in his ear as he continued to hold her in his arms.

 

Sesshomaru couldn't help the shiver that went through his body. His thoughts wondered to a more sexual nature as he appeased Kagome's request. Youko Kurama followed behind them.

 

“What does it matter where you are?” Youko asked once they arrived.

 

“This is the strongest point of the barrier. Sorry, Sesshomaru, but this barrier was never strong enough to shield me.” Kagome said. She laid her head against his chest with a sigh.

 

“I had thought as much.”

 

“I know…Can you please tell me when five minutes are up?” Kagome whispered.

 

And at that moment, Sesshomaru had never seen her look so worn and tired than she was at that moment. And he had also never seen her look so much like an angel, beautiful and serene.

 

After five minutes were up, Sesshomaru slightly shook the love of his life. She woke up with a start and stared into his eyes. “It's time, Kagome.”

 

She nodded and grabbed onto Youko with all of her might.

End Chapter

 

I am so sorry for the late and short chapter. I tried to make it longer, but I thought that I would save the rest of it for the next chapter.
