If the situation had been any different she would have rolled her eyes at the irony to it. Once again she was being face planted into the ground, and once more there was a horrific demon wanting to slice her. It had already managed to knock both girls off their horse, and now the winged destroyer was going in for blood this time.

"Stay behind me Kagome!" Sango shouted as her sword was drawn. She ran for the creature with all the skill an exterminator held, neatly slicing it in two. Though before celebration could be made a handful more appeared to take the fallen's spot.

As much as she wanted to listen to Sango and stay put, her friend was now five to one. Standing from her spot she looked around for some type of weapon. Her eyes shifted to the ground finding a rock. Shrugging her shoulders, she picked it up and aimed for a demon who was about to take a claw to Sango's back.

Much to her relief the rock hit the demon's throat nicely as the creature dropped to the ground. Though, that wasn't the only thing the rock did. Past the body the rock traveled to a bush, and instantly a horde of the same creatures appeared.

"Sango!"

The girl had only enough time to roll of away before one nearly took her head. Taking to Kagome's side she held her sword out in front of her "Son of a bitch"

The demons seemed to be multiplying magically for now, out in front of them the area was completely black with the bodies blocking out everything. Slowly the group was starting to approach; their plan was taking the girls down as one.

"Run Kagome!"

"W-what?!" Kagome shouted in alarm "I'm not leaving you to these things!"

"It's either one of us or both!" Sango screamed "And I choose you!"

"Well I choose neither!" Kagome screamed back. The similar power she had felt before was running through her veins like yesterday. Her power.....she could use it.

Against Sango's protested scream, Kagome pushed in front of her and held her hands out. Blue shot out instantly, but this time bigger and brighter then before.

"Kagome?"

The energy faded as bodies fell to the ground, leaving the place to an unnerving silence. Her eyes shifted across each body seeing only a wing or two flutter in lifeless animation from the gentle breeze.

Her vision started blurring, her head became light, and with one last look to the graveyard she blacked out.

"Kagome!"

Sango rushed forward catching the girl in her arms just before she hit the earth. The girl felt cold and her face seemed a little pale.

What had just happened?

Kagome had single handedly destroyed a pack of demons, with a strange blue light. She faintly remembered Kagome's mother being a miko but didn't that mean Kagome also held the power.

Did it?

Before she had time to dwell on it, her eyes shot out back to the massacre of Kagome's power. In the bush that had originally produced the demons, a whole new bunch were forming themselves.

These seemed a bit faster at forming then the last, leaving her with the only choice to run with Kagome. There'd be no way she could fight while making sure that Kagome's body was picked at in it's dormant state.

Reason and movement didn't seem to be working for her at the moment, for as the creatures neared her feet froze. All her years training for this thing and now that she was faced with it, she couldn't move?!

In brute defiance she stood with Kagome's form clung to her side and raised her sword to the swarm, she was an exterminator, this is what she lived for and this is what she was about to do.

Her wrist flicked trying to cut the first offender, but her sword was all but pulled from her as a powerful wind swept around them. Not thinking about exactly what was the cause to the vortex, she dropped to the ground, drawing her defensive sword and sticking it to the ground as she held on for her and Kagome's life.

Her eyes hurt as her body struggled against the current but whenever she felt a slip she held her ground and Kagome tighter.

"Sango?!"

Raising her head, she felt a calming wind, not a torment. Her eyes widened as it meet to the sight around her. Where the bodies of alive and dead demons lie before there was nothing; no vegetation, just ground.

At there at the end was Inuyasha slightly to the side as Miroku towered above him from there spots on the horse. It almost looked like he was holding his hand?

***

Inuyasha's eyes widened to the bare earth. Turning instantly to the monk he bopped him on the head "You nearly sucked them up you moron!"

"Well" Miroku said closing his eyes in calmness "I did get rid of the demons...."

Inuyasha gave him one last look before sliding off the horse and making his way over to where the girls were. His eyes instantly caught Kagome's unconscious body in the exterminator's arms. His heart skipped a beat as it had yesterday when she had no longer been in the tree.

Was she injured this time?

All but running to her he quickly knelt to Sango's side as she habitually handed Kagome's body to his. She didn't look in pain, a little pale, but more so tired. Her head turned a bit in his arms as it nestled into his chest, and if the situation had allowed it, he would have smiled.

"What happened Sango?" Miroku voice for the hanyou as he appeared on their last horse "Are you two alright?"

"I am" she said with a sigh. She lifted the sword out of the ground and sheathed it before shaking her head "I don't know about Kagome"

"What do you mean?!" Inuyasha shouted "Why'd she faint?"

"She just did!" Sango called back matching his tone. She shook her head again "It was odd. We were against a whole swarm of demons, before the one's you saw, and she just stepped in front of me. This blue light came out of her and not a single demon survived the hit" she looked to the girl in Inuyasha's arms "Then she just collapsed"

Inuyasha looked to Miroku for answers. This had to have something to do with Kagome's power, the energy they had been talking about earlier "Will she be okay?"

Sliding off the horse with a sigh Miroku knelt to Inuyasha and put a hand to her forehead "She's just drained" he explained "It must have taken a lot out of her...taking out a whole bunch like that...."

"I think we should rest here until Kagome wakes" Sango voiced in concern "I doubt the first thing she wants to see when she wakes up is the castle...."

For once Inuyasha completely agreed
