Chapter 2: Revelation

Without Inuyasha and his companions noticing it, a white and silver blur ran though the forest as well, following the same direction as them. Sesshoumaru hadn't understood a lot of things they had said, and he truly could care less, but he had sensed an extremely powerful aura that way, one he hadn't sensed before. He had a duty, as the Lord of those lands, to make sure that his kingdom was to remain safe, and so he followed it in order to find out who was the one that emitted it. The aura, however, was oddly familiar to him, though he couldn't think of any youkai he had met that had such a powerful one, but most strange of all, he had yet to meet a youkai that had been blessed with holy magic.

He could understand that such a strange being would wish to remain hidden, and thus mask its aura, but as he was in his lands, where he was most powerful, he had been able to see through the masking spell. Besides his duty as a Lord, he was also most curious about it.

At this rate I shall be reaching the owner of the aura by sunset. He felt himself grow impatient, and sped off towards the source of the power.

Meanwhile, with Kagome's friends

“Inuyasha, are you sure that okaa-san went this way?” Shippou asked, holding to the hanyou's shoulder for dear life as he jumped from tree to tree “Shouldn't we have caught up with her by now?”

“Shut up runt!” he barked, though the same thoughts had been running through his mind for the past two hours “She had a whole night's head start, we'll get to her soon enough” he told him, in hopes to calm him down a little. Even though he'd never admit it, seeing Shippou, who was most lively and happy, in such a sad mood broke his heart.

“Okay” the little kit answered sadly “I hope she's okay”

Inuyasha agreed in his mind. So do I, Shippou, so do I. He kept running and jumping in hopes to find her before anything would happen to her, Miroku and Sango following close by on a transformed Kirara.

Hours later

Kagome had finally stopped to catch her breath. She was pretty sure that she had left her friends far behind and wouldn't be able to catch up with her before she made it to the well, and for that she was grateful. She sat down and stretched her legs, clad in some black jean shorts she had brought from her time and admired the golden shade her legs had acquired. How she would love to keep it permanently, instead of only for a few days each month. Something soft caressed her cheek and she reached back to brush away the golden feathers that were tickling her. She mentally cursed the fact that she'd had to cut one of her favourites T-shirts in order to make room for her six feet long golden wings.

She watched as the orange and purple rays of the setting sun filtered through the trees. I don't have much time left. She thought with sadness. Stretching, she got up and was going to start walking again when the scent of several youkai hit her nose.

“Kuso!” she said as she took a fighting pose. She could sense that they weren't very powerful beings, but they were quite a few. Moments later five kurohyou youkai made their appearance between the trees surrounding the small clearing she had decided to stop in.

“My, my, what have we got here?” said the one who seemed to be the leader “Such a beautiful wench…and with Shikon no kakera no less!” he chuckled darkly, glancing at his friends “You'll have to hand them over willingly so we won't hurt you… much” he said in a low voice.

The rest of his pack chuckled as well. He noticed that all of them were males, and had quite a good idea of what he meant when he said that last sentence. She sent him a death glare and responded.

“You may leave now if you want to stay alive. There won't be a second warning” she said menacingly.

“Aren't you a spitfire?” the leader mocked, an evil grin beginning to curl his lips, showing his long sharp fangs “Very well, if that's what you want, we'll take them by force!” he answered as he jumped at her faster than the human eye could see.

Fortunately, Kagome's eyes were anything but human at the time. She dodged the claws aimed at her throat easily as a cruel smirk spread on her usually sweet face, sharp white fangs glowing in the dying sun. “Don't say I didn't warn you.” With that she let down the spell that masked her aura and went into the fight.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sesshoumaru had nearly reached the one he had been following for nearly two days when he felt the spell that was masking the aura go down and the full force of its power hit him. It was nearly the size of his own. A few moments later the scent of fresh blood and the blood freezing screams of dying youkai reached his senses, and he ran at top speed towards them.

When he finally arrived the clearing Kagome was in, he met a sight he would never be able to forget. A beautiful female was standing, no, floating, a couple of meters above the ground, her sparkling golden wings shaking the air around her while a purple glow enveloped her whole body. Long raven locks floated in waves around her face and upper body, swaying with the waves of holy power that emanated from inside her. Her eyes were shining with a purple light, glaring at the dead bodies of five kurohyou youkai that lay scattered on the ground.

She is truly a sight to behold. Sesshoumaru thought. He would've thought she was an avenging tenshi, hadn't he smelt the youkai in her. His aura reached to brush with hers, thus making his presence known, as well as making it clear that he wasn't a threat.

She turned her head and looked at him in the eye as she landed between the corpses of the offending youkai. As she forced her inner beast to calm down, regaining control over its bloodlust, she recognized the inu taiyoukai staring back at her.

“Sesshoumaru”

He was surprised at first that she knew his name, though his expression betrayed no emotion, but then again, he was the Lord of the West, so it shouldn't be that strange. However, he was under the impression that he knew the female in front of him.

“Who are you that dare intrude in my lands?” he demanded coldly, his face as expressionless as ever.

Her now chocolate brown eyes looked at him with a hint of nervousness and… amusement? He didn't like it. If this wench dares mock this Sesshoumaru she shall pay with her life. He thought.

“Don't you recognize me, Sesshoumaru? I thought after five years you would at least be nice enough to remember me.” She answered, her words trying to mask the fact that she was slowly becoming a nervous wreck inside. Tough her inner youkai didn't sense any threat coming from the inu taiyoukai, she couldn't help but feel nervous in his presence.

Her response made something click inside Sesshoumaru's head. “You're my half brother's wench” he stated, his eyes' slightly widening being the only sign of his shock as realization hit him.

“I have a name, you know, it's not polite to go calling every female a wench” she said, feeling annoyance at the stoic youkai lord growing to overcome her nervousness.

He ignored her tone for the moment. He was curious as to why a ningen miko had suddenly become a washi hanyou, and such a powerful one at that.

“Why is it that you are hanyou now, miko?” he asked directly, not being one to beat around the bush.

Fuck, what am I going to tell him? She wondered. Its not like he should care, anyway. She opted for avoiding the matter for as long as she could.

“And what is it to you if I'm ningen or hanyou?” she spat. “It's not like it's your business at all”

He nearly snarled at her insolence and walked closer to her, trying his best to hide both his anger and curiosity at this odd female.

“This Sesshoumaru does not repeat himself, half breed” he answered in his cold velvety voice “Answer my question” he demanded, as he slowly opened and closed his claw, that had started to glow green with poison.

“I…” when she was wondering what the hell she was supposed to tell him she saw the silver rays of the full moon as they began to bathe the clearing. Oh, shit, shit, I gotta get out of here! She began to panic.

Sesshoumaru sensed her sudden panic and expanded his aura, in search for a possible threat, but he sensed none. His eyes narrowed to slits.

“What is it, miko?” he asked, his voice growing more and more dangerous.

“Sesshoumaru, you've got to get out of here NOW!” she nearly yelled.

Sesshoumaru, on the other hand, was beginning to get frustrated.

“This Sesshoumaru does not take orders from anybody, wench, even less from a lowly half breed such as yourself” he growled, slowly losing his patience.

“You don't understand, you've got to get away from me! It's not safe, run!” Kagome said, as she fell to her knees.

She felt her claws and fangs elongating, as well as the burning on her face, wrists, ankles and hips that signified the appearance of markings. She looked up at the taiyoukai that was still standing beside her and watching her intently. A golden sun appeared on her forehead, as bronze coloured markings instead of his magenta ones adorned her cheeks. He could see her eyes bleeding red as her inner demon fought to take control.

“RUN!!!” she yelled in a feral voice as the last strands of control left her and the bloodthirsty beast took over with a triumphal roar.

Sesshoumaru had been watching the entire process with keen interest, but only when she yelled for the last time did he actually snap out of it and realize what was happening to her. He jumped out of her way as she slashed at him with her claws and drew out Toukijin. Kagome was completely out of control, and though her speed and strength apparently had increased a lot, she didn't seem to be able to concentrate enough to use her miko powers, which suited Sesshoumaru perfectly, as he didn't risk being purirfied.

Te youkai lord barely dodged her next attacks. She's indeed powerful in this form he thought as her claws passed an inch from his face. As well as dangerous he added, this time jumping away from the claws aimed at his heart. He was trying his best not to kill her, though it was proving to be a difficult task. But this female intrigued him. He told himself that she still hadn't spoken the reason why she had become hanyou, and that he most probably would never know it should he end her life now. The most honourable part of his mind also remembered that she had tried to warn him, that she had tried to protect him. It also reminded him of the times she had prevented Rin from being killed, so the honourable thing to do would be to return the favour.

Very well, I shall let her live. With that thought in mind, he took advantage of a gap in her defence, aiming his fist to the spot where her neck and jaw bone met. The moment he made contact she stopped dead in her tracks and fell to the floor, out cold. He silently thanked his deceased father for his fighting lessons, some of which included ways of incapacitating an opponent without damaging his body permanently.

He watched silently the immobile figure that lie at his feet. Her eyes were closed, so he wasn't able to see whether they had returned to their normal colour. However, the markings on her face remained, stating her as a pure blooded taiyoukai. How? he asked himself.

He was still staring at her while wondering the possible meanings of these revelations when a silver haired hanyou stepped into the clearing, Tessaiga in hand and pissed as hell.

“Sesshoumaru, you bastard! What the fuck have you done to her?!”

All right, a little cliffy, I know, but hey, I had to end it somewhere! Anyway, I couldn't help but notice that out of the 114people that read it only 2reviewed... so please follow their example and let me know what you think! It truly does help! Please? (really cute puppy dog eyes)
