Hello everyone! I'm back! Sorry for not updating for so long…I'm trying to update ASAP.

YokaiYuk-Excuses, excuses

Wicca-whatever…I don't have excuses all the time, and I mean what I said-I am sorry for not updating for so long. You on the other hand, have excuses every day, all the time and you barely mean any of them.

YokaiYuk-good point now-

Wicca-I thought of Manjo being here

YokaiYuk-no

Wicca-but I decided that we need to start with the story right away

YokaiYuk-good point

Wicca-so, let us begin.

==================================================

Previous Chapter:

"Just to return the favor. Oh and…" Kagome reached for Sesshomaru's shoulder where his hand was cut off by Inuyasha. She touched it, and it instantly regrew.

"This is for telling me to live and saving me. Now we're even." Kagome started to walk away.

"How can you do these things so quickly without losing any of your energy?"

Kagome turned back and only smiled. "Easily."

"But this is impossible for a human."

Kagome smiled some more. "Who told you that I'm human?"

Sesshomaru was puzzled. "Then what are you?"

"You'll see…" She looked at the sky. It was getting dark. "I'll tell you later…I promise…now I have to go."

Sessshomaru quickly reached for her. "Wait."

Kagome only smiled again and in an instant, she was gone, leaving a very puzzled Sesshomaru.

"Whatever you are, Kagome, I will find out and return the favor." Sesshomaru said while preparing to set off to the Western Lands.

Demonic Chaos: 500 years yet to wait

Chapter 2: Revealing some powers

It was very late when Kagome got back from the place where she met Sesshomaru. 'I hope that no one worries too much about me' Kagome quickly headed for the camp, using her new powers. She was one kilometer from the camp, but it took her thirty seconds to get there. Sango and Miroku were asleep. Kagome smiled, because Sango was next to Miroku, and Miroku, unconsciously began to wrap his arm around Sango, and unconsciously, Sango cuddled closer to Miroku.

'I know that they will be perfect for each other. Maybe they might need just a little push.' Kagome smiled some more 'I can't wait until they both wake up. That should be fun: Sango getting upset and all…It never gets old'

<><><><><><><>& lt;><><><><Flashback><><><>< ;><><><><><><>

-WHAM!!!!!-

*THUMP*

Kagome woke up with an early start. "Wha-?"

"HENTAI!!!!"

Kagome yawned. "Here we go again." Kagome approached the red-faced Sango.

"Sango, would you mind to explain what happened?" Sango's face got redder.

"I…he…I woke up and he was cuddling to me! He even had his arm around me!" Sango looked down on now $_$ Miroku.

"And…and he was smiling! That…that…that…HENTAI!!!!"

"Sango, calm down…this is the first time this happened…you remember how tired you all were after battling that boar youkai?" after having Sango's nod, Kagome continued. "So, maybe you all were too tired, that when we reached the camp, you all just fell asleep not even bothering where. And maybe Miroku was just next to you."

Sango nodded. "Maybe, maybe not. But how do you know?"

"Well, I know that Inuyasha was tired too. Our doggie didn't sleep in his tree. Maybe he isn't an inu-hanyou, maybe he's a bird-hanyou! I mean…being in a tree and all…"

"Oh, well, I guess I'll forgive Miroku this time. But it better not happen again."

<><><><><><><><> ;<><><><><><End Flashback><><><><><><><><&g t;

Kagome smiled at the memory. 'They're perfect to each other.' Kagome looked at the place where she was usually sleeping at, and saw her sleeping bag laid out for her, and Shippo was sleeping next to it. Kagome smiled again. 'He is so kawaii!' Kagome felt something or someone tap her shoulder, and she jumped.

"Hey wench! Where have you been?" Inuyasha said that only Kagome could hear him.

"It's not like this is any of your business, but I went for a walk. And, call me by my name, mutt-face!"

"Don't you dare to call me mutt-face, wench!" Inuyasha raised his voice, but no one woke up.

"Mutt-face, mutt-face, mutt-face…oooh! What a mutt-face!"

"Feh…oh is that it? You went to see you precious, wimpy wolf!!!"

Kagome was annoyed. 'I better get some sleep.'

"Inuyasha?"

"What?"

"1st of all, I didn't see Kouga-I went for a walk…2nd of all, I am tired and I need to get some sleep, and 3rd of all…" Kagome looked at Inuyasha with an evil smile on her face. Inuyasha gulped. "SIT BOY!"

-THUMP-

Kagome shook her head while she got in her sleeping bag. 'I never believed the saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks…' Kagome looked at #_# Inuyasha. She sighed. 'Until now.' Kagome thought while going to her dream land.

```````````````````Kagome's Dreamland```````````````````````````````

Kagome was laughing, because someone was tickling her. It was a girl that traveled with Sesshomaru many times.

"Rin! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Please stop! I give up!!!" It was a wonderful, bright day, and Kagome was having the time of her life. Suddenly, the tickling stopped, but then was replaced by even more tickling, faster tickling.

"Rin! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Please stop! I give up!" Kagome's head was on the ground and she had tears in her eyes. Then, she saw, during the tickling, Rin stand next to her. Rin gave Kagome a toothy smile.

"But Kagome-chan! Rin isn't tickling you!" the tickling stopped. Kagome decided to get up and see who put her through the so ever-wonderful "torture".

"You know that curiosity kills the cat…" was a very gentle male voice. Kagome pushed herself up, and found herself getting lost in Sesshomaru's beautiful pools of amber. She looked away, but then realized how close they were to each other. Kagome slightly blushed. She tried to get up, but instantly, Sesshomaru's nose was really close to hers. Kagome blushed even more, and Sesshomaru smiled. He leaned closer and closer and closer.

Then, the clouds got darker, and darker, and darker, and Sesshomaru and Rin were gone. Kagome was left alone.

"Sesshomaru? Rin? Where are you?"

"Ku ku ku, my little miko, ku ku ku…prepare to die!!!" Kagome realized that she was underwater, drowning. She began gasping for air.

``````````````````````````````End of Kagome's Dream`````````````````````````````

Kagome quickly jumped up from sleep, literally. 'This was all a dream…but it felt…so real…' She was breathing very hard when she heard,

"Kagome-chan, what's wrong?" came the little voice.

Kagome looked down and saw Shippou's sleepy large green eyes, full of concern. The dream was quickly forgotten.

"Nothing Shippou, nothing…it was just a bad dream." Kagome leaned down, and hugged Shippou.

"Hey wench! What's all this rattling about?" came from a tree.

"Inuyasha-I have a name, you know. So please use it." Kagome said coolly.

"Wench"

"Inuyasha: sit!"

-CRACK-

-THUMP-

"Ow…" came the muffled sound from the ground. Inuyasha stood up.

"What did you do that for?"

"I thought I told you to call me by my name."

"We-"

"I wouldn't say that if I were you-because you know what would happen next."

"Kagome."

"Good boy."

"Feh…Hey, we-…Kagome, cook us some ramen, while I wake everyone else up. We need to go search for the shards. I heard a rumor that there was a shard near the Northern Lands."

"Sure…" 'I guess this is just one ordinary day' Kagome sighed and began to prepare to food.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Lady Kagome, the food was delicious as always." Miroku commented after finishing his bowl of ramen. Kagome blushed.

"Well, I am glad that you enjoyed my cooking." 'I am glad that Inuyasha moved Miroku from Sango, before waking them up. If he didn't…well, let's say things wouldn't have been as well as they are now-so peaceful-" Kagome was interrupted from her thoughts by a

-WHAM!-

$_$

"HENTAI!"

Kagome sighed 'forget about what I said…or thought anyway…'

"Sango, would you keep the voice down? My ears hurt too much…if you will keep this up, I would be deaf." Inuyasha said as he covered his little doggie ears.

Sango was beginning to say that she didn't scream loud, but then she remembered Inuyasha's excellent hearing.

"Gomen, Inuyasha. I'll try not to make that happen again." Sango lowered her head.

Then Miroku stood up…with the help of something soft…He realized what it was, and looked up. He saw a very red faced Sango. 'Oh, Kami…I wonder if she's angry or she's just blushing.' He looked in Sango's angry eyes. 'She's angry.'

Kagome was watching the whole scene. She smirked mentally. 'in a way, this is amusing, and in a way…this is painful…for Miroku anyway…and this time, she might scream with all her might…Inuyasha would be deaf for sure.' Using her new powers, Kagome was next to Inuyasha in a flash. She quickly covered his ears before

"HENTAI!" Sango screamed with all her mind and slapped Miroku as hard as she was able to, and the result was the

#__# Miroku.

Kagome uncovered Inuyasha's ears. Before she could go and pack her things, Inuyasha grabbed her hand.

"How did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Be here really fast…like in seconds…"

"I don't know…" Kagome thought for a little while. 'one day, I'll have to tell them the truth…but not now. My mind is made up and no one is going to change it. I like to be treated the way I am treated now…well except the "wench" part…but I don't want to be treated like I am any different and better, because I'm not.'

"I think you know…" Inuyasha started.

"Maybe my miko powers are rising!" Kagome said cheerfully.

"Feh…whatever…maybe it's about time you got useful…no…yes-you could use your quick running to run away from any troubles in a safe place…so that I can protect you…"

'Wow…well, that's a nice statement from Inuyasha to start the day.' Kagome was about to hug Inuyasha when he smirked.

"Because you are really weak." Because Kagome was in the hugging process, and then she heard the comment the turned the direction and landed on the ground. She quickly got up.

"Who told you that I am weak?" Kagome's face was getting redder and redder by every moment.

"No one did, but you show it really well."

Kagome's face stopped to get red, and changed back into it's original color. She had a mask similar to Sesshomaru's and that gave Inuyasha the shudders. 'It's nice to get her angry and all, but with her being like this…it's not good.'

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said coldly.

"W-what?" Inuyasha got nervous 'maybe I should run for it.'

"Who's weak now?" before Inuyasha could make a run for his life, Kagome touched him and said.

"Freeze!" soon, ice was forming all over Inuyasha. Only his face remained normal.

"Kagome! Get me out of this thing!!!!!!!!!"

"Who's weak now, Inuyasha?" Inuyasha remained quiet because of his pride…but it was getting really cold.

Kagome began to turn around and walk away. "Well then…"

"Kagome! Wait!" Kagome turned around with a smile on her face.

"What, Inuyasha?"

"You are not weak…" Kagome shrugged… 'well, this is probably the best I can get from him' Kagome reached to Inuyasha and said

"Unfreeze." Inuyasha stood up.

"Howinthesevenhellsdidyoudothat?"

"I thought I told you, that my miko powers are rising."

"Feh…well, maybe next time when all of us battle, you could make yourself useful."

"Sure…" 'I am glad that he bought that story of rising powers'

**********************

It's been two hours since the gang was traveling through the Northern Lands. Then, Kagome sensed something.

"Inuyasha! I can sense five shards coming towards us!" in a flash, there was a bear youkai next to the group. Before anyone could do anything, he was in front of Kagome.

"Wench! Give me the shards of the Shikon!" Kagome's eyes turned cold. 'No one except my friends can ever call me names'

"Over my dead body!" Kagome said when she leaned down and picked up some of sand from the ground. She quickly threw the sand on the bear youkai. No one, except Kagome, knew what was happening.

"Ha! That tickles, wench. I-" the bear youkai didn't get to finish, because then, where all the pieces of sand covered his body (which meant his entire body) exploded. What was left from the bear youkai were some pieces and five shards. Kagome quickly picked those shards up and put them in the bottle where she kept them. She looked up and saw everyone in a daze, staring at her.

"What?"

Miroku was the first one to speak.

"How did you do that, Lady Kagome?" Kagome only smiled.

"I thought I told you that my miko powers were rising?" everyone just nodded.

"Kagome-chan, can we get some rest? Or you get some rest…we've been traveling for hours and we didn't eat at all. I'm hungry" Shippo said. Kagome laughed. She quickly opened her backpack, and gave Shippo a lollypop. When she turned around, she saw Sango looking at her with very worried eyes.

"Is something the matter, Sango?"

"Kagome…it's just that I think that we should camp soon-it is already getting dark, and you need your rest."

"But"

Miroku interrupted Kagome "No buts, Lady Kagome. That technique that you did…It was very strong and took a very large amount of energy."

Kagome shrugged. 'It didn't take much energy from me…I mean, I didn't get tired or anything like that' "If all of you say so…"

"Fine then" Inuyasha scooped Kagome up in his arms, and began to carry her bridal style. Of all the thoughts that were running in Kagome's mind, she blushed, but then shook her head to make the thoughts go away. She mentally slapped herself. 'what are you thinking, Kagome? Right now he probably thinks that you are only a copy of Kikiyo or a valuable shard replacement to him.

"Uh…Inuyasha, sorry to tell you this, but I can walk…"

"Oh" Inuyasha put Kagome on the ground, and wouldn't meet Kagome's gaze.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha. 'Is it me, or did I just hear disappointment in his voice? It's probably just me. I bet I can know what he is thinking.' Kagome began to read Inuyasha's thoughts.

Inuyasha was walking silently. 'I bet she must really hate me for all of what I did…of how much I hurt her. I am really sorry for that. But it wasn't that until now, I realized just how much I love her.'

(A/N: Warning! Warning! This is not a Kagome/Inuyasha pairing! Just to let you know)

Kagome was shocked, and then hurt. 'I guess I still love him like before…Ha! And he still loves Kikiyo. But can't he see that Kikiyo doesn't love him? Can't he see that she's not the same Kikiyo that he once knew? Can't he see that she's dead, and I'm very much alive?'

(A/N: Kikiyo lovers…no flames please…I'm not that against Kikiyo…really…if you read more of my later chapters, you'll see.)

Kagome was about to cry, when she felt a barrier form around her. She didn't realize that she was walking in front of everyone, quickly. She looked at the group, and saw that they couldn't get through. Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Kilala, and Shippo seemed to see something and began with all their might to try to get through. Kagome realized that she was trapped, and then she turned around.

"Kanna "
