Angel was standing in the kitchen when Kagome entered.
“Morning Angel,” Kagome greeted.
“Morning Kags,” Angel greeted his friend.
His eyes widened taking in what she was wearing. A tight black Chinese cut dress with no sleeves which clung to her curves leaving nothing to the imagination. On both sides there was a slit going to mid thigh. The slits and inside of the dress was a deep violet. There was a silver dragon with its head starting on her left breast near her heart and wound around to the right ankle. It was breathing ice instead of fire. She had silver eye shadow and black eyeliner on as well as red lipstick accenting her kissable lips.
“Yo Kags you l;leaving already?” Kagura questioned upon entering.
“Yeah I should be home around noon,” Kagome said.
“I have to go back to the Makai so I may have already left by the time you get home. I'll be gone a few weeks. I know you will both miss me, but take care and don't do anything I wouldn't do either,” Kagura teased.
“Which leaves what exactly?” Kagome bit out sarcastically.
Angel and Kagome shared a laugh at Kagura's expense. Kagome waved her hand summoning a portal to spirit world.
“Poor Koenma a pissed off Kagome is not a good thing to face. I wish I could see the look on his face when she arrives,” Kagura chuckled.
“She doesn't look pissed off,” Angel said.
“Not outside but she is still Pissed as Fucking Hell about what has occurred and what happened to you, but she isn't the type to bring others' moods down by dwelling on things,” Kagura answered.
“Kags,” Angel said softly thinking of how much she had done for him.
“I know exactly how you feel. I still don't know where I would be today without her as my friend,” Kagura stated.
“Me neither,” Angel agreed.
In Spirit World...
Kagome was floating down the hall a few feet off the ground. She had two sets of wings. One was a set of black bat wings, they had the texture of leather and at the top they had a crimson red horn. Above those she had a pair of black Angel wings with crimson streaks throughout and they looked downy soft. All along her body there were silver and black runic markings. Her eyes shone a devilish red and no pupils were visible. She wore a cold smirk on her face and she sent out a blast which blew the doors to Koenma's main office off the hinges.
“Knock Knock,” She coldly taunted floating into the room.
Koenma looked up and began to shake with fear. Kagome floated over until she stood in front of him separated by only the desk.
“Kagome what is the meaning of this?” he demanded.
“What is the meaning of not informing me about Angel's soul and my my friend Angel's journey?” Kagome snarled.
“It was his punishment,” Koenma stated.
“Bullshit he did not deserve this fate,” she screamed.
“Angelus reeked untold havoc he does deserve it,” he replied.
“Angel had nothing to do with that and I have spent the last four weeks picking up the pieces of my broken friend,” she said as blue tears fell from her demonic eyes.
“He is the only one who could be punished for it. Now about his unfinished sentence,” Koenma began.
Talk about taunting fate Koenma was currently tempting his much like a deranged and extremely demented Matador jerking an angry bull by its horns. Kagome lifted her hands and brought them down smashing the desk and only barrier against her he had. She grabbed him harshly by the collar and it bit into his neck.
“Angel will not be returning to that place,” she snarled.
“But he must,” Koenma choked out.
“You dare threaten him or attempt to drag him down again and I will bring this whole place down around your feet,” she thundered.
She roughly threw him to the ground and struck her arms outward. The paint and bricks crashed off and the farther left and right walls crumbled into themselves before they were no more.
“Cease this or you you will be sorry young lady,” Koenma warned.
“You dare threaten me you little troll?” she hissed.
Koenma swallowed sharply seeing his poor life flash before his eyes. He summoned his guards.
“They can't help you now,” she taunted.
The guards rushed in and she sent out a Shockwave of energy instantly decimating twenty of them but to her annoyance more took their place. She was hit by fifty shock batons at once rocketing her to her human form and bringing her crashing to her knees still smoking. Before she could move they chained her down.
“Now you will listen,” Koenma stated.
“Bite me toddler,” she spat.
The guards moved forward hitting her with the shock batons sending her backwards until her body pulled roughly against the chains sending her face first to the floor blood running slowly from where the chains bit deep.
“Now as far as Angel is concerned I have decided his current condition is punishment enough. However, you are going to be sorry for your disobedience. You will be stripped of all your powers except for your wings and eternal life. You will find yourself unable to hide your demonic features at the following times of the year unless you use a temporary glamor; the new moon, a full moon and the leap year. This should serve as a reminder of your inhumanness and during this time you will have no power,” he stated.
A blast flew her way blinding everyone and once it cleared she had on a black chain choker and her powers were completely gone. She tried to remove the choker only to be hit with a shock that drove her to her knees.
“That will happen anytime you try that. This punishment will last for the next one hundred years parole may be granted then. Have a good day,” he taunted.
A portal threw her back to the park. She rushed home because she had no weapons to fight vampires with. She hoped Kagura was home because she would be the easier one to explain things to. She had tears running from her eyes and her long black hair fanned out behind her as she run. Kagome threw open the door and stumbled in. She walked to the hall mirror to see her appearance. She looked at her long raven black hair and chocolate brown eyes. She smashed her fist into the mirror shattering the vision not of herself but of Kikyo's double as that was who she saw. She sunk to her knees crying holding her hand which now had both long and sharp pieces embedded in it. Blood ran from the cuts but she did not notice.
Angel ran down the stairs hearing the crash he had a stake in his hand ready to kill the intruder, but it dropped from his hands echoing in the silence of the hall. He knelt softly beside Kagome placing his hand on her shoulder. She did not move and he wrapped her softly in his arms. She did not make any move but to cry harder. His hand gently took hold of her injured one. He looked up at he broken mirror and down at her hand realizing she had broken the mirror.
“Kagome,” he said softly.
“Hey Angel,” Kagome replied, “are you the only one here?” she asked.
“Yeah Kagura left a few hours ago,” he replied, “What's wrong?” he asked.
“It's a long story,” she replied.
“Well we have time, come on let's look after your hand,” he said.
Kagome nodded unsure what to tell him as there were things he would never believe but she did not blame him as his memories had been altered so that he would not remember her at that point in his life.
Angel brought Kagome to her room and went and got the first aid kit. He cleaned and bandaged the cuts.
“So what happened on this outing?” he asked.
“I went to spirit world I got into an argument with Koenma, I threatened him and he retaliated,” she started.
“What was the argument about?” he asked.
“You and how and why I was left so completely in the dark,” she said.
“So what was the verdict?” he joked
“It was your punishment, but I get the feeling it was my punishment as well. Good news is you are free to remain in this world,” she said.
“What is the bad news?” he asked.
“I am stripped of all powers and certain days of the year I will be unable to hide my inhuman features except for with a temporary glamor. The rest of my time I get to spend resembling HER,” she replied.
“Why would you say my punishment was yours as well?”he inquired.
“That is a long complicated story and one you would not understand as things are,” she sadly replied.
“So who is this her?” he questioned.
“Kikyo. My incarnate the one I am always compared to and I come up lacking every time,”she replied.
“I'm sorry,” he said.
“Not your fault. That's just the way it is,” she replied.
They sat together just enjoying each others company. They talked about what the spirit world and Makai were. She explained that Kagura went to visit her friends and to talk of what demons were a possible problem to them. In all honesty she knew many would come, because a powerless miko with the most powerful artifact in history was too tempting a target to pass up. She had a terrible feeling that her friends and family may not come out of the coming trouble unscathed. She broke down sobbing her head landing on Angel's lap. He set his one hand on the small of her back as the other gently ran through her hair in a comforting manner. He knew she would eventually tell him what was wrong.
