Chapter 21: When You Play With Fire…

The snow storm had ravished during the night and everything was covered in a vast blanket of white. Everyone remained at InuYasha's mansion, standing guard and assuring that if someone dared try anything, not only would they be up to a serious challenge but would surely fail.

No one would get to or harm Kagome anymore.

InuYasha held a cup of coffee in his hands, staring out the window of his office not really focusing his gaze on anything. He closed his eyes and thought back worriedly to the night before.

+FLASHBACK+

As Kagome and InuYasha said their goodnightsto the others in the household,, he walked them up silently to his room. Upon entering, his mate went straight to the window, placing a hand on the glass and staring out of it with an empty gaze.

Sensing that her aura was calm enough, InuYasha approached her carefully, not to startle her.

He started to speak, “Kagome…”

She lowered her head slightly with a sigh and shook it in the negative, “I don't want to talk about it anymore tonight. I fully understand that the shrine is a material thing but within that shrine, it held every single tangible thing to my family. I know it sounds foolish but…” She chuckled without any humor, “Sometimes, I missed my mother so much, I would go into her room and lay with my head furrowed in her pillows… just to get a waft of her lingering scent.” Turning anguished eyes on him a moment and turning to go into the bathroom, she whispered, “It consoled me. It made me feel comfort and now… that's gone too.” She entered the bathroom without a backwards glance and shut the door.

InuYasha did not move from his spot as it dawned on him how much this pained her. He understoodcompletely,because he too, when she had gone, had looked forward to thescent ofspring rains for centuries to bring him some peace and calm in his soul… to remind him of her in some real way.

Removing his clothes and getting into bed, he waited for her to come out of the bathroom. When she did hours later, she silently crept into bed into the furthest corner away from him, facing the ceiling. Silently, she extended her arm and InuYasha silently intertwined his fingers with hers.Neither of them slept a wink that night.

+END FLASHBACK+

Grabbing at his bangs, he let out a loud sigh when a knock came on the door. Knowing the scent, InuYasha grunted, “Come in runt.”

Shippo opened the door and walked in, looking at the hanyou with a sad stare. “Oyaji… I'm worried about oka. She's been down in the gym working out non-stop with Sango, Chika, Ai and even Miroku. They are all worn out and oka is not showing any signs of stopping. I'm worried about her.”

InuYasha grunted and nodded his head not meeting his adoptive sons stare.

Shippo continued, “The news hasn't stopped talking about the fire. Luckily, they were able to put it out and no one was hurt. The fire was contained.”

InuYasha threw a newspaper Shippo's way, “Yeah I know, they haven't found the `cause' of the fire.”

Growling, Shippo glared at the paper, “Just confirms what we knew.”

Getting up from his seat at the window, InuYasha walked over to the kitsune and ruffled his hair. InuYasha voiced his concerns, “I'm worried about Kagome too. I don't know what to do kid. I feel helpless…”

Shippo wanted to smile. The hanyou had changed in so many ways. All those centuries ago, he would have not been caught dead admitting something worried him. "Oyaji...maybe...you should try..." Shippo rubbed his eyes and spread out his palms, "I don't know? Talking to her? Get her mind off of things for a while..."

InuYasha looked at Shippo with saddened eyes, "I have tried that runt."

Shippo placed an arm around InuYasha's shoulder, "Then keep trying Oyaji... I know you aren't the best when it comes to deep conversations -"

He was stopped by a whack across the head from his father accompanied with a glare. Grunting and mumbling, 'I've gotten better at the talking thing', InuYasha stomped off determinedly, earning a triumphant smirk from his son.

--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--

Kagome was panting and glaring at her opponents. Growling, she placed her hands fisted on her hips and scowled, “HOW ARE ALL YOU GUYS TIRED?!”

Looking up from his bent down position, Miroku looked at Kagome and spoke between breaths, “My…apologies… Kagome….but…”

Sango looked at her best friend exhaustingly, “We're out of practice Kagome. There hasn't been a need for such intense training in a while.”

Kagome narrowed her gaze and was about to speak when her hanyou walked in and left Kagome speechless. There he was in black drawstring pants and a red wife beater and his hair was braided down his back. She closed her mouth and straightened up, arching a delicate eyebrow.

InuYasha smirked at her, “Keh. What do you expect from pathetic weak humans? They can't keep up.”

Crossing her arms over her chest, she looked at him dead-on. “In case you forget, I'm a `pathetic weak human'.”

He took the remaining steps to where she stood and smirked slightly, stroking his chin, his smirk turned into a half smile, “That's right you are.”

She couldn't hold it, her mouth twitched a little and although she fought the smile, it came through. She took, what she hoped was a seductive step towards him. “So pathetic am I?”

InuYasha put on his best puppy face and nodded.

Kagome took another step towards him and took one of her fingers and dragged it across his chest earning a shiver from the hanyou, “Weak am I?”

InuYasha closed his eyes and tried controlling his breathing and nodded.

Kagome looked over his shoulder and saw that everyone had taken their leave. Placing both of her palms on her hanyous chest, she got on her tip toes and playfully bit his chin, giving it an open mouth kiss afterwards.

InuYasha grunted and tried to remember how to breathe. This woman was going to be the death of him. Not a demon. Not old age. She was going to be the cause.

After a few moments, he realized that Kagome wasn't quite so near him anymore. Popping one eye open, he saw her standing a few feet away, arms crossed with the smuggest look on her face he had ever seen.

“This weak, pathetic human just turned you into slush my big bad hanyou.”

Playfully growling at her, he took the steps that separated them and grabbed her sticking his nose in her neck. She smelled like the rain forest and sweat…which surprisingly was very pleasant. He just held her to him taking in her essence and felt her go slack in his arms and because of the sweat didn't pick up on the smell of her tears until her heard her quiet whimpers.

He sat crossed leg on the floor, not letting her go for a moment. He completely expected that she start her charge and work out her aggressions with him but, as usual, her mood was always doing a 180 before he could blink. He sat there silently letting her vent her frustration.

After a couple of minutes, she pulled back and took his face in her hands and looked at him with the most heartfelt expression on her face. “What is it about you that turns me into mush?”

Taking her hands, he kissed both of her palms before taking her hands in his own and placing them between them. He looked at her with a soft gaze, “Keh. Because you don't have to act tough around me and you know it.”

Kagome giggled and nodded her head wiping the remaining tears from her eyes. “Hai, that's very true.”

Not sure how to ask but spitting it out, “How do you feel?”

Kagome pulled a deep sigh and briefly closed her eyes before looking straight at InuYasha and replying softly, “Exhausted… pissed off…but… I feel better about the situation because… after turning the thoughts in my head… you are all right. I needed the comfort of the shrine before but, my comfort is right here.” She placed a hand over her heart and his. She gave a little smile, “It's hard regardless but, I am just more determined to finish this and have my happily ever after with you.”

InuYasha leaned over and kissed her softly and stroked her cheek. “We will have that koishii. Do you understand me?”

She meekly nodded and took another deep breath grabbing the edge of his wife beater and twisting it in her hands. He knew what that meant, nervousness. He wanted to laugh at the very younger Kagome action she was doing.

“Koibito…”

He snuggled up to her, “Hn?”

“I've been thinking about our… um… us…”

He leaned back and tilted his head in a very confused puppy way. Kagome did everything in her power not to giggle but she did smile and took hold of one of his ears and rubbed causing the inu hanyou to close his eyes and purr…er… `growl'.

With his eyes closed and `growling', he peeked an eye open, “Spit it out wench.”

She took a deep breath and was about to speak when Miroku interrupted running into the gym out of breath.

They both turned their heads looking expectantly at the ex-monk, he had the stupidest smile on his face.

“Bouzo… get it over with. Whaddya want?!”

Clearing his throat Miroku stood straight, “Sorry to interrupt but, we have news that Kenachi is heading this way.”

Kagome dropped from InuYasha's arms, “How?”

“Sesshomaru and Kouga went to the shrine to pick up his scent and located it. Sesshomaru has had Jaken and others following him. He's on his way and should be here within the hour.”

Kagome grabbed InuYasha's hand and dragged him. “Let's go get ready.”

--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--

Kagome paced around the foyer awaiting everyone else. InuYasha was the first to come downstairs with a missed friend. Kagome smiled and walked up to her hanyou and lovingly placed a hand on Tetsusaiga's hilt and in response got a hum. Kagome looked at InuYasha surprised and got a toothy grin from him. “Keh. He's learned to communicate through the centuries. He missed you. He missed having someone to protect.”

Smiling, she leaned in and kissed the hilt of the sword. “I missed you too.”

Trying not to laugh at the audible hum that sounded more like a sigh, she looked up to see a pout from her mate. Knowing exactly what was bothering him; she leaned up and kissed him softly. “Not more than you my main protector.”

“Keh.”

Shaking her head and giggling, she stated, “You'll have to explain what that means someday.”

“Keh.”

She contained another bout of giggles, “Riiiight.”

InuYasha mumbled, “You didn't have to go kissing my sword…”

She laughed and waggled her eyebrows, “Don't like me kissing your sword?”

InuYasha had the decency to blush, “Keh.”

Kagome kept giggling and upon hearing something that sounded strangely like singing, she and InuYasha looked up to find a bouncy Rin and somber looking Sesshomaru walking down the stairs.

Cocking an eyebrow, InuYasha looked at his sister-in-law and cautiously asked, “Why are you so happy?”

Looking at him, she scowled and bounced over to a very confused Kagome. After recovering that Rin had actually scowled at him he turned to his brother.

“What's up with your mate?”

Dropping the cold act, Sesshomaru looked at his brother and sagged, actually sagged his shoulders, “My mate is royally pissed off that I would not let her partake in the fight.”

Hearing a growl, both brothers turned to find Kagome holding back a growling Rin who pointed an outraged finger in their direction. “He thinks that I'm still a friggin' child!!”

Letting out an exasperated sigh, Sesshomaru nearly rolled his eyes, “Rin. I do not believe you are a child, I just want to see you safe.”

Kagome placed a hand over her heart and whispered to her mate, “Did the Sesshomaru actually refer to himself normally and not as a third person…twice?!?”

InuYasha nodded quickly and stepped towards Kagome looking at Rin patiently. “Rin, when's the last time you fought a battle?”

Rin looked at him nastily, “I married and mated your brother! You can answer that!”

Trying not to laugh, InuYasha softened his eyes and tried to ignore the others that were currently creeping into the room. “Rin, what if I said you have a more important job than actually fighting?”

Looking uncomfortable, Rin shifted from foot to foot, “Yeah? Like what?”

InuYasha smiled, “Like healing the wounded…”

Rin nodded quickly and smiled, “Ok!” She bounced out of the room.

“You have to teach this Sesshomaru that art.”

Laughing Kagome spoke between breaths, “I think that trick is only applicable to anyone but your own mates.”

Sesshomaru's lips twitched and Kagome almost had an aneurism. Shaking her head and looking at her watch, she patted herself to make sure she had all her equipment. Looking up, she found Sesshomaru, Kouga and Ayame looking at her with an eyebrow raised. She was about to ask when she heard InuYasha growl followed by a laugh from Kouga.

“Alright! Alright! Sorry, can't help it InuKuso… your mate has changed…a lot.”

Kagome blushed and Ayame just rolled her eyes at her mate's comments.

Shippo dashed into the foyer and looked at Kagome, “Oka, E.T.A about 15 minutes.”

Nodding her head, she turned towards the door, taking a deep breath. “Let's do this.”

--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--

+--+--+--+--+--+--

InuYasha stood beside his mate who currently held her chin up and stood ramrod straight, the wind whipping her raven tresses all around her. He had not been able to completely enjoy and take in and enjoy what she had said to him earlier.

“I've been thinking about our… um… us…”

That statement confused him. What had she wanted to talk about? He quickly struck down the panic building in his chest.

`Keh. The faster we kill Kenachi the quicker the wench can tell me what that was all about...'

`Kami. I wanna hump her leg when she's dressed in that get-up looking like that.'

`As eloquent as ever. Can't say I blame you…'

`Keh.''Keh.'

He placed his hand on Tetsusaiga, ready to unsheathe it as soon as Kenachi came into sight.

He would not let that bastard live passed today.

Kagome looked over her shoulder to see her extended family all standing in a semi-circle around her in protective stances. She then looked over to her right and saw InuYasha tense, his silver hair and piercing amber eyes staring straight ahead. Feeling her gaze, InuYasha looked over and smiled tensely. Extending his arm, Kagome looked down and saw his hand. Extending her own arm, she entwined her fingers with his, just as she had the night before.

Becoming lost in his eyes she didn't realize he whipped his head around and barely registered she had been thrown into the cold snow, InuYasha's heavy body draped over her.

Kagome looked around seeing a crater in the snow with smoke coming out of it and her group facing every direction. InuYasha growled.

“Damn it! Sesshomaru can you pinpoint the location of where that fire ball that whizzed right by our heads came from?!”

Sesshomaru delicately sniffed the air and narrowed his eyes. “No. His scent is everywhere and it smells like there are plenty more with him.”

Kouga snapped, “Like how many asshole?! HOW. MANY?!”

Sesshomaru's finger tips glowed green as he sent a narrowed stare at the now pale Kouga, “Hundreds mongrel. Mostly lower level demons from what this Sesshomaru senses. Much like the hordes Naraku used centuries ago.”

Kagome pushed against InuYasha's chest, “Get up!”

InuYasha scrambled off her chest, ears plastered to his head.

Whipping around, Kagome looked at Miroku, “Miroku! You and Ai are barrier set up in case of emergency. If you see any demons heading towards the house, set it up and keep them out!”

“You fools it's no use!”

InuYasha, Sesshomaru, Kouga, Ayame and Shippo all growled. Even Kagome. She screamed out, “Come out you pathetic, ball-less, excuse for a fucking demon! Scared of a girl ya prick?!”

Kouga leaned over to Shippo and whispered, “Mutt face really rubbed off on her…”

Kenachi chuckled darkly; his voice bouncing off everywhere, a thick forest of trees surrounded them, therefore not allowing them to pinpoint a location.

Chika whispered, “Do not separate yourselves. That's what he wants.”

They kept looking around aimlessly and once again heard laughter along with clucking of the tongue. “Hn. I guess my beloved sister Lai forgot to mention I could also manipulate sound….pretty thrifty ey?”

InuYasha snarled, “Enough talk! Come out NOW bastard!”

Kenachi started humming indifferently with chuckles here and there while throwing more of his fire balls their way. They kept rolling, ducking and running from the fire. Kagome narrowed her eyes and reached down into the pack she carried around her waist, removing what looked like some sort of pocket knife. The group eyed her curiously. Bringing the contraption up to eye level, she pressed a button and the pocket knife looking thing turned into a bow. Locking it, she reached down into her belt and took out what looked like a pen. Placing her bow under her arm, she extended the tool in her hand and it became a long stick. Again, pushing a button on it, the head and fletching of the arrow appeared. She looked at her group who all, sans Norio, Chika and Ai, had their eyebrows raised and amused expressions on their faces. Taking the bow from under her arm she armed it with the arrow and shrugged, “I rarely use these things anymore so, I got it compact size. It's better for long range shots and better than carrying a sniper gun.”

Kouga let out a breath of air and low whistle, “Damn that's hot...very MacGyver” Even Ayame agreed and nodded her head.

Kagome smiled wryly and focused her attention back to the task on hand. If her demons couldn't sniff him out and they couldn't track his voice…well… she would have to track him some other way…

His aura.

She chuckled mentally, `Try out-beating that you piece of shit.'

Briefly closing her eyes, she concentrated on locating him. After a couple of seconds, her eyes flew open and she fully smiled, “Bingo.”

Pulling back on the string, she released the arrow quickly with a loud whoosh, immediately lowering her bow. Seconds later, a loud screech was heard along with the strong smell of blood. “You BITCH! You purified my arm!!!”

Kagome lowered the bow and smirked while examining the non existent dirt under her nails, humming as annoyingly as the fire demon had before, “Well then you better thank Kami I was feeling generous and didn't aim further south! NOW COME OUT BEFORE I FORGET THE MEANING OF THE WORD GENEROUS!!!”

The demons on her side and even the humans winced at the volume of her voice by the end of the sentence.

InuYasha glared at his mate, “Dammit wench! I think you busted my ear drums!”

She glared at him and whispered through clenched teeth, “I'll show you some busting later… you better watch your tone with me InuYasha.”

He flinched and she smirked, fully pleased, at the panicked look on his face.

Kenachi continued screeching and dragged himself out of the forest holding his arm.

Everyone stood stock still.

Head lowered, shaking his head slowly, Kenachi let out a crazed, guttural laugh.

Dropping the bow, Kagome unsheathed her dual katana's and swung them around and then brought them into position. Kagome stared wide eyed as his arm regenerated. Kenachi looked up at that moment and licked his lips with a half smile, red eyes piercing straight at Kagome. “Forward.”

Hordes of demons came out of the forest and straight towards the group.

Sango ran forward, “Hiraikotsu!” Her giant boomerang knocking quite a few demons out of the way. Taking out her kodachi, she made her way through the demons.

Sesshomamru stood in place looking absolutely bored. Using his energy whips and Tokijin in his other hand, he kept the mass at bay.

Kouga kept kicking them and gloated as Ayame used her leaves to fight them off.

Miroku was having way too much fun waving his staff around and would turn every so often to admire his wives behind.

Chika was side by side with Sango. Both were very similar in fight style while Ai kept throwing ofudas with one hand and a nunchaku in the other.

Souta was trying to fight off the demons around Chika and his sister with much fervor.

InuYasha kept cussing and swinging Tetsusaiga around like a madman. “Wind Scar!” He chuckled when he saw a couple dozen demons perish from his attack.

Kagome breathed harshly as she fended herself from the incoming attacks. Hearing a chuckle almost directly in front of her, she whipped her head up and met red eyes. Finishing off the demon she had been fighting with one final slash, she squared her shoulders and snarled, spitting out his name as if it left a bad taste on her tongue, “Kenachi.”

He half smiled at her, “Miko.” He removed his sword and pointed it at her. “My master seeks your head, along with that jewel but…” He chuckled, “He wants to take your head personally. He asks that I deliver you to him, alive and… barely harmed.”

Kagome bit the inside of her cheek and made it seem as she was deep in thought, “Hmmm… nope sorry can't do that. Tight schedule and all.” With that she shot forward trying to strike the demon from above his head only to be pushed back roughly and landing in a crouched position about twenty feet away.

Widening her eyes, she tried thinking of another form of attack. `Damn he's good. He's too fast and strong…'

Pushing herself off the ground, she smirked and swung her katana's in a circle and clanged them in the air, charging them with spiritual energy. Slamming her swords into the ground, the energy shot its way towards the fire demon but, being quick, Kenachi jumped out of the way before the hit landed.

Throwing back his head and laughing, he straightened his head and grew serious as he said, “My turn.”

With that, he shot various balls of fire in multiple directions around Kagome. Kagome stood there with a wide-eyed stare seeing no way out and with not enough time to create a strong enough barrier. She could do nothing but close her eyes and await her death.

“Kagome!!!!”

The miko's eyes shot open in time to see her brother take a hit in the back by one of Kenachi's balls of fire.

“Souta!” Kagome rushed to her brother as he slumped to the ground. InuYasha ran towards the siblings. With her head down, Kagome yelled towards InuYasha, “Have someone get him inside now! It's time I finish this!”

InuYasha picked up his brother-in-law and whipped around to Norio who was holding back a frantic Chika. “Get him inside!” He handed over the boy to his comrade. Turning around once more, he saw his mate breathing heavily, her hair whipping around in every which direction. Swirls of blue, white, silver and pink surrounded her.

Her aura the day that they were reunited was not a quarter of what he was witnessing. He took a quick glance at her wrists. She was wearing her cuffs.

Barely audible, he heard her whisper, “Purity”

The colors in her aura swirled more intense and her cuffs fell to the ground. When she looked up, her irises were swirling in all the colors surrounding her. She looked ethereal. His comrades stood still and the demons had backed off sensing the spiritual energy.

InuYasha stepped forward, “Kagome…”

Surprisingly, she threw him a quick smile, “Do me a favor koi?”

He gulped and nodded once.

Smiling fully, she nodded her head towards the hordes of demons slowly backing off. “Wind Scar their asses while I take care of this bastard?”

InuYasha laughed, feeling his chest swell that she wasn't trying to handle everything on her own, “Sure but, if you need me -“

She giggled, “I'll let you know.” Looking back to Kenachi who looked torn about what he should do, she raised a brow, “Oh? No big talk? No trying to attack? Why is that?”

Apparently wounding his ego, he snarled, “Bring it bitch.”

She pointed both katana's at him, “With pleasure.”

--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--

+--+--+--+--+--+--

InuYasha stomped his way back to his companions, “Let's finish this to watch Kagome's back.”

They all nodded and made quick work of finishing off the lower level demons.

Sango leaned on her knees. “Kami! That was a work out!”

Kouga nudged InuYasha and pointed towards the currently battle engaged miko. “Oi, your mate is handing him a good beating.”

InuYasha and crew turned around to witness the main fight.

Kagome could feel her miko powers coursing through her veins. It gave her the push of speed and strength she needed. Kenachi would try to land a blow and she would dodge. He was quick, she became quicker. Besides her power driving her forward, her anger for what this bastard did to her brother drove her harder.

Kenachi looked at her in a mix of admiration and shock, “You're good.”

She smirked, “I know.”

InuYasha had to hold back the pride from bursting in his chest. `Cocky bitch. MY cocky bitch.'

Summoning another flame, Kenachi thrust it at her. Predicting his move, Kagome flipped over it and once she landed on her feet, pushed off the ground as hard as she could and impaled both katana's into Kenachi's gut, both protruding in a cross out of his back. In a swift move, she forced them open like scissors and cut the demon in half. Being that he had the ability to regenerate, he was not dead yet.

He looked at her angrily and started cussing and cursing her. She held out her hand and Ai, knowing what she wanted handed her various ofudas.

Thrusting one on both parts of his body, she smiled, “These impair the ability to regenerate.”

He started beckoning another flame but was cut off when two daggers were stabbed into his hands. Flicking two more ofudas on the body, Kenachi started screaming bloody murder as his body melted.

Dusting her hands, Kagome explained, “And those two, cause a really painful death to demons. Slowly spreads spiritual energy through a demons body. Not a quick death. Enjoy.”

“I hope my master kills you in the same fashion you bitch!”

Stepping with her boot clad foot on his quickly disappearing neck, she leaned down and tsk'd, “I hope you learned your lesson. When you play with fire, you're going to get burned.”

As the remainder of the body melted away, Kagome stepped back and slowly faced her family. Taking a step forward, her vision started to blur and she quickly slumped to her knees. InuYasha ran towards her and grabbed her before she fell back.

She smiled faintly and whispered, “Thank you.” before falling unconscious.
