Review Responses

Sesshoumaru's fluff is mine: Thanks for your wonderful comment. Of course since Inu's gonna be overthrow he's got to do something. Well, I don't know bout Inu's behavior but his personality wont really change much as well as his features. He's half demon remember? Well, you can vote again because I fixed some things on the poll.

Ymir-chan: Lol, what Kag's mom and her granddad is planning is a secret. I'm not telling.

Kariisme: Well, you'll see the fans power when it's used later on in the story. The fans power won't show until Kagome's just about mastered it. Lol, the end of chapter two was supposed to be a mystery that unravels in the story so you're only supposed to understand a little. Anyway, the ideal isn't bad; I may use some elements of it. Though, I don't think I'll need a rosary for Kouga.

Sukera: Doing my best.

Reversed Ch 4: The Night of the Crescent

"Kagome! Move!" shouted Sesshoumaru.

Kagome moved towards her left as some sort of mutated demon went after her. Then she smoothly slit the demon's throat, killing him on the spot as she bathed within her thoughts.

`That arrogant dog called me by my name. Why? Could it be? Nah, he probably just said that to reach my attention.'

When the last of the demons were disposed of, the group of four chose a spot under an oak tree for a quick lunch.

"Kagome, you have really improved your skills on using your weapon. The posture and techniques were flawless, but you lack some strength," commented Yuki as the rest quietly ate.

"Thanks."

"Do not think that your work is done with the steel fan. There are still skills to unlock from the mystic weapon," reminded Sesshoumaru.

Kagome narrowed her eyes menacingly when the pompous youkai made his comment, ruining her happy mood.

"Haven't anybody taught you not to destroy peoples good mood, Sesshoumaru? Bringing somebody's happy state `DOWN' will result to a `DOWN' hill situation such as being on the person's `DOWN' side or have yourself brought `DOWN' to the seven levels of hell. Better yet, your reputation could take a stroll `DOWN' the mountain side," concluded Kagome.

Each session with the ground seemed to be more painful than the last as the young miko continued her `downs', blackening Sesshoumaru's face as well as bringing pain. While the Western Prince suffered from his punishment, his two subordinates were having trouble keeping the laughter from surfacing.

Once Sesshoumaru recovered his composure and utilized a cleansing spell upon himself as well as his clothing, he went for Kagome's neck, but was instantly suffocated as the rosary tightened around his slender throat.

"Don't do that or you'll hurt yourself. Now sit `DOWN'," commanded Kagome, obviously still a bit angry over the dog demon.

Sesshoumaru recovered from his temporary bed when he declared lunch is over.

When Kagome calmed down a bit, the thought of having the jewel with her from yesterday entered her mind.

`I'll give the jewel back tonight. I think he wants to continue our journey.'

As the young girl followed her leader, she suddenly felt a dark and evil aura in the surrounding area. The aura continued to grow as she concentrated her senses, discovering the location of the evil being that emitted the foul ki.

Immediately, she called for Sesshoumaru. Disclosing the devilish creature's den, that happened to be a tree to the left of the inu youkai among the sea of green.

"Sesshoumaru, be careful. He's stronger than the demon's we fought before by five folds, and he's full of evil," cried Kagome helpfully.

Sesshoumaru smirked before he went after his upcoming enemy, as if victory was already at hand.

"Don't worry Kagome, he'll be fine. I've seen him fought some really strong demons and came out unscathed," assured Yuki.

At this time, Yue decided to compliment his young pupil.

"Kagome, not only have you improved weapon wise, you have also improved miko wise. I believe that you can now sense demons, correct?"

Kagome nodded her head positive.

"Then you would soon be able to properly channel your energy to the palm of your hand and form a ball of energy."

Just as soon as Yue finished his statement, a loud growl from the direction of Sesshoumaru was heard.

`Oh, no, Sesshoumaru could be hurt.'

Without thinking, Kagome raced towards the battle ground with two elemental demons right behind her.

"She doesn't know that Sesshy only growls in battle when he's having a good time, does she?" asked Yuki as she ran right behind the miko.

"Apparently not," replied Yue who was right next to his sister.

When the three arrived at the battle ground a neko youkai was seen sprawled on the lush green grass dead with a crescent mark on its heart.

"You had fun," commented Yue coldly.

"Quite, it seems that my brother has detected my intrusion within his lands since the family crest was upon the foul demon's heart, symbolizing slavery of useless demons," stated Sesshoumaru.

"Uh, Sesshou, if that neko was a useless demon then what of the ones that we've faced before?"

"Trash," answered Yuki in the inu youkai's place then veered towards their current course.

@

"My lord, the neko has failed his mission," informed Eritri.

"I know."

"Wha, how?"

"That useless cat was sent just to see how strong fluffy still is. Looks like Icy hasn't lost his touch, but that doesn't matter. I'll still beat him and revenge Kikyo. Now go back to them."

"Hai."

As the group once again continued their travels towards the Western Castle, passing through mountains, forests, villages, and clearings, Sesshoumaru began to wonder seriously about the girl from the future for the first time.

`Who is she? Why do I somehow feel soothed around her? Why am I so curious about her? Why do her eyes hold some sort of mystical source that draws me to her? Why? What is this strange feeling that has been brewing since her joining?'

`Simple, you are attracted to her,' answered Yue suddenly invading Sesshoumaru's thoughts through a mental link.

`Do not give such a ridiculous reason.'

`Why not, you are over protective of her. That was evident just a bit earlier this day. That should be reason enough for you. You know that you care very little for people. Let alone be protective over a single female.'

`Hn, no matter what you say, the idea is still impossible.'

`Improbable but not impossible, all creature are attracted to some other creature…even you, Sesshoumaru. Give yourself a chance maybe something good will come out.'

`Nonsense,' said Sesshoumaru as he closed the link.

Yue sighed at the closed like as he began to resume his training with Kagome. `That stubborn dog doesn't know how to melt his icy heart even when there is a possible true love for him,' thought the elemental demon, obvious worried for his friend's future.

Soon, day turned into night, and the crew of four people could be found sitting around a campfire enjoying dinner. When the food was cleared, everyone was set for sleep with Sesshoumaru on watch.

Kagome was having a rough night as usual; difficult math problems haunting her in her dreams, extending their horrible formulas towards her. Before long, Kagome was awakened as cold sweat dripped from her face.

Just as she turned her head, she spotted Sesshoumaru heading towards the lake. Kagome stared up at the crescent moon then decided to follow the cold hearted demon.

When she arrived, what she saw seemed to be perfect.

Kagome slowly approached the cold prince as his silvery hair billowed under the moon's shine and the well built body glimmering from the crescent moon, entrancing the girl.

`I...never known him to be so beautiful.'

Millenniums seemed to have passed as the miko finally sat beside Sesshoumaru, sharing the cool breeze. Her hair danced under the wind's guidance as she began her first words to her future love.

"Hey, Sesshoumaru, what's wrong?" asked the girl softly, caringly as she saw the sad look on Sesshoumaru's usually stoic face.

It was the first time someone has ever talked and made him feel warm like Kagome did with the soul exception of his mother, and he was surprised.

"Why are you being kind to me?" asked Sesshoumaru, knowing that the girl was Kagome even before she spoke.

"Well, I dunno, I guess because everyone has a good side and deserves to be nice to. Even the cold hearted Sesshoumaru."

"Hn, nothing is wrong," answering Kagome's earlier question.

"Huh?"

"I am simply answering your inquiry earlier."

"Oh, right," said Kagome as she smiled brightly. "If you don't want to tell me then it's fine. Though telling people what is wrong usually helps."

"I am fine."

"If you insist," said Kagome as she stood and made her way back to camp.

Sesshoumaru instantly missed her warmth and seemed to physically shiver as another cool breeze made its way towards him.

"Aniki, aniki, its working, I think Kagome is finally gonna melt Sesshy's cold heart. He might get to fall in love!" cried Yuki happily through a mental link as she sat on top of a tree near Sesshoumaru with her scent masked.

"That's good to hear," answered Yue, silently cheering his pupil on.
