-Discovery-

Their journey had been a quiet one so far, Inutashio seemed to be contemplating something and would occasionally study her when he didn't thing she was paying attention. He had been acting strangely since they had left the palace. The result of arguing with his son no doubt; something she felt guilty about.

She looked up so see him staring at her again. Only this time he held her gaze. Violet met Gold and her heart raced. Something was up. Her breath caught in her trough as he sent a powerful wave of his demonic power in her direction. She clenched her fist as she struggled to keep her powers at bay. Then it was gone. She looked at him questioningly only to have him do it again, only this time it was much stronger. It was like he was pushing her, testing her. Her eyes widened in recognition. He was trying to make her break it was almost like…he knew.

He looked at her in shock as she was unable to control all of her powers and her eyes started to fade into a lighter color of lavender. She closed her eyes and shook her head when she opened them again he was still staring at her.

Unable to take it anymore she meet his gaze head on and whispered harshly “What are you doing?”

“What are you Kagome?” he asked in a hushed tone.

Her heart stopped and she paled, no he couldn't know.

“I don't understand what you mean” she lied.

He could tell.

“Do not lie to me child. You are not human, nor are you demon. What are you?” he asked sternly.

“I…I can not tell you” she whispered to him.

“You will tell me” he said in a harsh tone.

“I can't…your life and mine depend on it being kept secret” she said looking sadly in his eyes.

His own eyes softened at this, he could tell she wanted to tell him but he could also tell she was scared beyond belief.

“Kagome, have I ever given you reason to doubt or distrust me?” he asked in a much gentler tone.

“No but”

“I have no reason to doubt or distrust you dear, I know you are different I also know Adara and Kisho are the same” he said.

She snapped her eyes to his, terror written all over her beautiful face.

“How?” was all she could get out.

“I saw you the night of the caravan attack in the garden” he explained coolly “Now please tell me”

She studied him for a moment, he had known for several days now and instead of handling it then and there he was tiring to get answers from her in private. Maybe he could be trusted, Izayoi could.

“If I tell you, you must promise to keep it a secret no matter how many problems the truth will solve” she said.

“I understand you have my word” replied Inutashio.

She then moved to sit next to him not wanting anyone else to hear. He was a little taken back by her boldness, but understood the by the urgency in her eyes that it was to insure they were not overheard.

“Tell me Inutashio, have you ever heard about a race called angels?”

---------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

Sesshoumaru paced is study, he was furious.

How could his father do this? How could he leave when he was needed here in the western lands? Was he insane? Surly Kagome would have been fine if she went alone, the northern lord would have seen to that, there entire alliance would be ridding on it.

He needed to blow off some steam, he needed to spar. Something he had done everyday since his father left. A wicked smile crossed his face.

“Get me Inuyasha!” he yelled.

---------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha and Miroku were lazily reading around the large study fire. It was cold as hell outside and Inuyasha hoped, not for the first time that day, that Kagome was alright.

“I am sure she will be fine, Lord Inutashio will make sure of it” said Miroku as if reading his thoughts.

He sighed, he knew she would be okay with his dad around but he still couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. They had been gone two days already and they still would not reach the northern castle until night fall.

There was a sudden shifting of the door as a guard stepped in. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. He knew what was coming before the guard even spoke.

“Lord Sesshoumaru wishes to see you in the dojo master Inuyasha” he bowed.

“Keh, tell that loser there is no way in hell I am coming down there” he replied.

For the last two days Sesshoumaru had asked…no ordered that he spar with him. He had to admit it was fun to beat him up a bit and not get in trouble from his father but after yesterday's beating, or lesson as Sesshoumaru so lovingly called it, he was going no where near the dojo.

The guard bowed and went back to the dojo, Inuyasha secretly felt sorry for the beating…training…Sesshoumaru would no doubt be giving him.

---------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

“Angels?” questioned Inutashio.

“Right, I will take that as a no; okay let's start at the beginning. Shortly after the creation of earth the Kami's created a powerful race of beings. They named them angels.” She looked at Inutashio to make sure he was retaining all the information she was about to throw at him.

“In the beginning, you mean before demons and humans?” he asked.

“Yes, long before. You see…”

She stopped when she felt a familiar tingling sensation. She paled…”No not now” she whispered.

Inutashio looked at her in confusion.

“What is wrong?” he asked

“They are coming”

As if on cue the carriage stopped and the sound of orders to surround it were yelled out.

That's when all hell broke lose.

She could hear the fighting, smell the angel fire and knew she could not just sit back and watch it happen.

She had to go out there and fight, these demons hand little power against an Oni-tenshi, she had to fight even if it meant that they all would know.

Taking a deep breath she looked at Inutashio.

“Stay here” she said as she opened the door, Inutashio right behind her.

The four Oni-tenshi looked at her and smiled.

“Well, well boys look what we have here. Lord Mamoru would love this beauty” said one of them.

“You want me?” she asked “Then come and get me”

He smiled again and charged; she smiled back and waited until he was close.

Everyone gasped as she threw a ball of pure white fire from her hands and turned the flying creature to ash.

The other three looked at her with pure hate and landed on the ground in front of her.

“Traitor” one to her right hissed.

“She is a disgusting human half breed, what else do you expect?” said the one to her left.

She merely smiled.

“What is so damn funny Nephilim?” asked the one in front of her.

She lifted her hands and instantly appeared a white blazing bow and a golden quiver appeared on her back with matching white arrows. She reached back and laced an arrow in her bow and in the blink of an eye shot the one to her left, her eyes never once leaving the Oni-tenshi in front of her.

“That” she smiled at him.

“Bitch!” yelled the one to her right as he charged for her sword in hand.

With a flick of her wrist her own white glowing sword appeared, and the battle began. Every one was on the side lines in shock as she fought her opponent with the grace and skill that would make Sesshoumaru jealous.

She let out a small hiss of pain as something stung her back and the smell of burning flesh came to her attention. She turned around to see the other oni-tenshi standing behind her, a blazing red whip in his hands.

She turned her attention back to the one she was fighting as she heard sounds of his next attack. She watched as he leaped in the air, quickly ducking to avoiding the downward swipe of his sword and lunged forward sinking her sword into his side. He sank to his knees and let out an earth shaking scream of agony as he slowly turned to ask before her feet.

She then turned back to the one who injured her, the low life who would attack an enemy when their back was turned.

“This is far from over foolish nephilim, you may have saved them this time but I can guarantee you will not be so lucky next time” he said as his black wings shot out from his back and he took to the sky.

“Damn” she cursed under her breath.

She turned to look at Inutashio and found everyone looking at her in shock and awe. They knew they were in the presence of something very special and they now owed her their lives.

Suddenly her world became cloudy and her world started to spin. She had used too much of her power too fast, the only down side to constantly keeping it hidden.

She sunk to her knees and instantly Inutashio was at her side. He lifted her into his arms; he then felt her go limp.

“Kagome!” he said concerned.

“Lord Inutashio your arm!” yelled a guard from the side lines.

Inutashio looked down to see that his normally white kimono top was now crimson red on his arm. Slowly moving kagome for ward he looked at her back to see a long gash. That's when he remembered the long red whip that had struck her and the scent of burning flesh. He looked closer and was able to make out a burn mark…the same kind of burn mark that was on the dead men of the supply caravan.

Slowly things were starting to piece together.

“You are sure about what you saw Isaac?” asked a cold voice from within the dark.

“Yes, the fire she drew was pure white. I have never seen such a thing before, she was able to turn the others to ash instanly” said the man known as Isaac.

“I see, this is troubling, she needs to be eliminated. We already have the foolish demon lords on our side, everything is falling into place. I can not have her interfering” said the dark man.

“Yes my lord, I will gather the best and storm the castle, she can not protect them forever” replied Isaac.

“Good” said the dark man “do not fail me, she is the only one who can ruin my plans.”
