Chapter 6

 

They were still heading west when they were attacked by several demons that wanted the jewel shards. Sango took out 2 with the hirakotsu and Inuyash was trying to release his frustration on another one. Jade and Kagome put a protective barrier around Shippo and entered battle with Miroku. No one noticed that one of the demons had circled around to try and attack the barrier around Shippo. He attacked thinking it would distract the group enough so that his comrads could kill them easier. Kagome heard her kit's terrified scream and she and Jade both looked to see the demon attack the protective barrier. Kagome quickly killed the demon she was fighting and slowly walked to the demon trying to attack her kit. The demon didn't notice the preditory gleam in her eyes until it was to late and they were glowing white with her rage. "You dare to attack my kit? No one attacks my family and lives." A glowing orb formed in her hand and she grinned at the demon that saw his death in her eyes. She threw the orb at him and he was purified to dust before he could even turn to run. After looking around she noticed that the other demons were dead as well. Her friends looked at her with amazement as she released Shippo from his barrier.

 

"Momma that was so cool. Where'd you learn that from?"

 

Kagome smiled at Shippo's excitement. "I learned many things while training Shippo." She lifted him to her shoulder where he took his usual spot as everyone continued to watch. She looked at them with curiosity and just shrugged it off. It's not like they'd never seen her mad before. Well maybe never that mad anyway.

 

As they continued on their way with Inuyasha leading followed by Sango, Miroku and Kirara, and at the back were Kagome, Jade and Shippo who was still rapidly asking questions. "I wish I could fight like you and aunt Jade, momma. That way I could help protect you too."

 

They both stopped at that statement and looked at the small kit and each other. "Would you like to start your training Shippo,"asked Jade. "We were going to start it in a few more days, but we can start sooner if you like."

 

His eyes grew wide with excitement and joy finally he could train and be as strong as the others someday. "You really mean it aunt Jade."

 

"Yes, I do. What kind of an aunt would I be if I didn't teach you to protect yourself and help you to become stronger. There are very few that I offer to teach Shippo, but you and Kagome are family." They continued on their way for the rest of the day before finally coming to a small clearing close to a hot spring.

 

"Jade would you like to spar with me?'asked Kagome.

 

"I'd love to Kagome. There's a large clearing close by so we can go there." They started walking with Shippo following to watch.

 

In the clearing both formed their weapons and an audience. Kagome came at her and Jade was immediately on defense and easily dodged her efforts. It was time to move into offense. Their katanas met in a blur the others could barely keep up with if it wasn't for the sparks that flew when metal grinded against metal. Kagome flipped over her head to try and catch her off guard. Jade anticipated this and blocked only to swiftly attack as well. She caught the side of Kagome's top tearing the material slightly and in the process Kagome cut her leg. They both were concentrating so hard they didn't pay anyattentenion to those watching them. Each woman was caught in their own deadly dance they both dodged and attacked.

 

The others watched in awe at the skill the women possessed. The grace and power that flowed with each movement was incredible. After watching them for the next few hours they had finally come to stand still and look up to see the others still watching with apprehension of what was going to happen now. They both smiled and sat down a small distance from each ohter as a barrier surrounded each of them. There was an invisible breeze inside the barrier that gently blew their hair in every direction and lifted them off the ground to levitate. Their friend watched as their wounds healed leaving no scars.

 

"They be like that for a little while so we should go back now," said Inuyasha.

 

Miroku as beyond curious. "I've never seen anyone with the skill and power I've just seen and how do you know how long they'll be meditating,"he asked.

 

"I followed Jade one night and watched her train and meditate. She was in there about an hour," said Inuyasha.

 

"Why were you following her?"

 

"Feh, she leaves every night after everyone sleeps. I wanted to make sure what she was doing and because I didn't trust her,"said Inuyasha.

 

"Are you saying you do now,"asked Sango.

 

"Feh, more than I did before she can take care of herself so at least thats one less human I have to look out for." He turned to leave for camp. "I still don't think she telling us everything about who she is though,"he said.

 

"No one tells people they have only traveled with a short time everything about themselves my friend, but if Kagome trusts her enough to be adopted by her then I will trust her too."Miroku looked at the women and walked towards the barriers as the others left. His hand lifted to touch the barrier and was shocked at what he felt. There was a concealing spell mixed into the barrier, but what was it hiding. He looked up to see Jade's green eyes staring back at him with a gentle smile, as his hand came away her eyes closed once again in a peaceful meditation. Even in deep meditation she is completely aware of her surroundings. He turned after watching them for awhile to leave when he felt a hand on his shoulder and turning found Kagome looking at him with curiosity.

 

"Are you alright Miroku?"

 

"Why is there a concealing spell mixed with the barrier. What is she hiding Kagome?"

 

A small sigh could be heard as she went to sit down and stopped when she felt the flucuation in Jade's barrier. Miroku's question had been heard and her sister was going to answer it. "I believe that Jade will be answering you question." The looked up to see Jade's barrier fall and she nodded to Kagome who took that as her que to leave.

 

"If you have questions Miroku just ask. If I can answer I will." She sat down in front of him and waited for him to ask his questions. She knew this had been coming and that they would have questions so she decided to answer the ones she could answer safely without revealing who she truly was.
