Chapter Thirteen The Crossfires
;;;Kagome, Etsuko, and Yuri, at Yuri's hut;;;
:::Kagome:::
"Shippo, go inside and don't come out," I yelled. Shippo just looked at me confused, and then ran into the room with my stuff.
The Crossfires were a group of different demons that cross through the lands. They kill and burn. The Crossfires are lead by 6 demons, and one human. Two are dragon and cougar demons. One leopard and swan/witch demon. And one wizard. The majority is made up of snake, bear, and lizard demons, who are thier followers. They only obey one person, and that person is dead. Keiko (pronounced like Key-I-ko) was that person. She was a dog demon/miko/angel and known as a legend.
Etsuko and I walked around to the back of the hut. She reached down and pulled on a handle, which opened a door on the ground to revile weapons of all kinds. There were arrows, daggers, swords, and so on. She passed me some arrows and a bow, but I just nodded no.
We walked back to the front with out getting noticed. Etsuko handed Yuri some daggers and a bow and some arrows. Yuri looked at me confused.
"I have my own weapon," I said, changing into my dog demon form with no markings.
Etsuko, Yuri, and I ran to the middle of the village to find snake demons charging into homes and destroying shops. Yuri started shooting arrows and Etsuko took out her sword hanging on her hip and sliced though the demons. I formed my light daggers and threw them, each one hitting my target. Etsuko and Yuri looked at me once with confused faces, and then looked quickly back to their enemies.
We left the center and went to the front without words. There were the bear demons. Etsuko and Yuri started fighting while I went into the homes to find survivors. There were many. I helped them out of their burning houses and then helped Yuri and Etsuko.
Once we finished the bear demons off, Yuri questioned me.
"Who are you? What are you?"
"I am Lady Kagome. And I am a miko/dog demon," I answered and then looked around.
"I have never heard of a miko/demon in my life," Yuri said.
"Have you ever heard of Lady Kichi? Lord Eizo's daughter? Lady Maya's Child?"
"Yes, I have."
"Then, I might as well show you," I said and changed into Lady Kichi. "I am Lord Eizo and Lady Maya's child, Lady Kichi."
"You can't be! I have been treating you like dirt! I should be dead now!" Yuri almost screamed.
"I don't treat anyone like that. We should be going now," I said and we walked to the right side of the village. Did I forget to mention that the village lived on the edge? Well, it did.
The seven leaders appeared and watched as we attacked the lizard demons. I was fighting when I noticed Jaken, not to far off. I quickly looked around to find a lizard demon pushing two things of the cliff. Not two things, one human and one demon kit.
I ran and dived off the cliff and reached out to Rin and Shippo. Once I got to them, I pulled them tight to me. I turned so that they would be in front of me. I heard one of the dragon demon say something like 'there goes one of our problems.'
If you think 'Why didn't she change into a bird demon' or something along that line, I was freakin' scared! I mean, I was falling off a cliff with two kids in my arms. I have two lives in my hands and they both knew what was happening.
They hung on to me like I was life itself. I closed my eyes was waited for the force of my fall to end my life, but instead, I felt myself changing. I opened my eyes to find Shippo and Rin looking at my back. I turned my head to see full grown, white wings coming from my back. I was about to touch them, but I then remembered that we were falling from the cliff. I then changed my position so that I was kind of standing in mid-air. I also noticed that my clothes also changed. It was kind of like what a goddess would wear. A white cloth wrapped around my body with a gold string holding it in place.
"Hold on tight," I said to Shippo and Rin. They did. I flapped the wings I was given and went up. Once I reached the cliff, I could hear gasps and whispers. I flew a little over the village and then landed almost in the middle, gracefully. I still have Rin and Shippo in my arms when I looked at the seven leaders. They stared at me and then bowed down. Everyone bowed.
"I am not Keiko, if you people think that," I said and set Rin and Shippo down. They stay by my side.
"We finally found," said Juro, a male dragon demon.
"The reincarnation of our leader," Jiro finished. You might have guessed now that they are twins.
"Why do people always think of me as a reincarnation? First I am the reincarnation of Kikyo, now Keiko. That's just great," I said rolling my eyes.
"We don't believe," said Gin, a female cougar demon. "We know."
"Yes, we both have seen the future with you as our leader. Keiko showed us in our dreams that there was another like her," Manzo said. He was just a human with powers, a wizard.
"She said another, not a copy now," I said trying to prove something. "So that means I am another like her, not a copy, reincarnation, or whatever."
"She is right," said a cougar demon named Dai said.
"But is she?" Gin said.
"She might be," said a leopard demon the name Rina.

"She might be," said a leopard demon the name Rina.
"She could be," Taya, female witch/swan demon.
"Can we drop the subject?" I put in. "Why don't I just leave and you guys just look in a crystal ball."
"Crystal ball?" Juro and Jiro questioned.
"Just forget I said that," I said starting to rub my temples. "Who do you people think that I am? Am I a reincarnation of Keiko? Kikyo? Or am I just plain old Kichi? Anyone know?"
"I think she is Kichi," said Eysuko. Etsuko was a great fighter. She wasn't all that bad. Maybe I could get her and Inu Yasha together. They would make a great couple!
"We don't know for sure. Did Keiko have powers over the light weapons? Did she protect the Shikon No Tama?" Sayuri questioned.
"You mean the light weapons? The ones made out of light?" Gin said.
"Yes, the light weapons. The ones made out of light that I can throw around for my protection," I said. Rin and Shippo then decided to pick some flowers. I was still looking at the seven leaders. I formed a quick light dagger and threw it near Rin and Shippo, it hit a bear demon trying to eat them. The demon turned to ashes and the leaders looked mesmerized.
"Keiko could never do that," Rina said.
"She wasn't ever that fast either," Dai said.
"I don't think," Jiro started.
"That she is Keiko," Juro finished.
"I still think she is a copy," Gin said crossing her arms.
"I think I am just too happy that I am alive to attack you," I said. I think I should be going now. Shippo-"
"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin yelled. I turned quickly to see Sesshomaru about to land on the ground.
"Can we drop the subject?" I put in. "Why don't I just leave and you guys just look in a crystal ball."
"Crystal ball?" Juro and Jiro questioned.
"Just forget I said that," I said starting to rub my temples. "Who do you people think that I am? Am I a reincarnation of Keiko? Kikyo? Or am I just plain old Kichi? Anyone know?"
