Prologue


She was running. And It was all Inuyasha's fault! He just had to slice the youkai in half! Didn't he know the youkai multiplied when parts of it's body were severed? He even saw it himself!

Stupid Inuyasha! She thought with a frown.

She'd drained all her energy from healing Sango and Miroku's wounds, she could barely lift her bow. She couldn't fricken purify this thing now! They had been in a fight with Naraku beforehand, which is why she had needed to heal her companions. They'd been badly injured and infected with miasma. After 6 years of training, she was a very good miko. Not the 'If-you-have-youkai-blood-I'll-purify-you-on-the-spot' type, but still a very,very good miko. Purifying the miasma from their bodies and healing their wounds had taken a bit out of her. A bit that she couldn't give.

A vicious battle with Naraku, where they had almost died might she add, she had used up most of her energy training that day, perfecting what wasn't need to be perfected because it already was. The battled had taken the last of her strength. And now she was running through the forest, using precious energy she couldn't spare.

Finally, after seemingly hours of fruitless running, she spotted a cave. If I can make it there, I should be able to put up a barrier stable enough to last through the night. She thought, panting from exhaustion.


"Inuyasha!" Kagome called out, "The jewel shard is in it's belly!" Inuyasha's body flew past her, smacking into a tree nearby. "Shit!" he cursed. He sped past again, running at the demon with increasing speed. "Bastard!" He spat, hacking away. A piece of gooey flesh landed near her foot. She made a face as it bubbled and popped, "Eeeeeewww." Inuyasha cursed ahead of her. He was swatted away like a fly, hurling past her and smacking into that same tree. He hopped up again, slicing away with renewed vigor.

Kagome knocked an arrow, comforted by the calming thrum of power at her fingertips. Twang! She fired, watching with an angry expression as it only went through the blob-like youkai. It laughed at her, sounding disgustingly like loud slurping sounds. The youkai was just like a blob of nuclear waste. Only, demonized. The blob at her feet hissed and sizzled. "Inuyasha! The youkai's flesh is like acid!" She warned. He landed by her side, "No, Really?" He asked sarcastically. His Fire-rat was smoking and his hands were covered in minor burns. He charged again. "We should go get Miroku and Sango!" She called out to him. "No!" He shouted back, "We don't need em', I can take care of the scum on my own." Inuyasha said cockily

Kagome sighed, His cocky attitude is going to get us killed. Getting agitated Inuyasha snarled out, "Wind Scar!" As the smoke cleared away it revealed the youkai sliced clean in two. Inuyasha landed in front of her with Tetsusaiga hoisted over his shoulder, still transfrormed.

"Keh! And you doubted me wench?" He gave her a cocky smirk but it soon turned into a scowl. "Stubborn bitch, I aint weak." He growled, starting to rant. "We don't need Sango or the bouzo-" A movement behind him drew her attention away. "-even the brat could of-" It was the youkai. "-trust in my strength-" It was twitching! "-listening to me?" Inuyasha snarled in her face. "U-um. I... Inu...Inu-y..yasha?" She stuttered. "What?" He snapped. Her hand shook as she pointed. "Behind you." He turned just in time to get smacked in the face and away from her. Where there had once lain the remains of one youkai, now stood two. "Kagome!" The hanyou called out to her without looking back, "Run!"

And run she did.

Unfortunately, one of the youkai followed her. Once again, unfortunately it was the one with the jewel shard.


Running to the cave, she discovered a green glowing barrier. Oh gods, whoever's in there, please let me in. She gently prodded the barrier, letting her aura brush against it. And to her surprise and delight, It wavered then dropped.

Youko kurama cursed himself, not only did he get injured but the arrow wouldn't come out! Damned miko, I was merely curious. Such a prude. He winced, feeling the miko ki spreading through his body, slowly and painfully purifying him. He panted, fresh blood oozing through his wounds. Who knew miko's could train in the art of the ninja? He hadn't. Several kunai had pierced him as he tried to flee. Her arrow had pegged his shoulder and It was in deep. If I see another miko, it will be too soon. He thought, frowning down as his blood soaked tunic. "And it's extremely difficult to get blood out of white!" He growled.

He groaned his power was waning, If he lost anymore he wouldn't be able to retain his humanoid form. He felt his barrier waver before he put more of his energy into it. He hissed as the miko energy numbed his arm, making it useless. It was spreading slowly, eating away at his strength. A clawed hand grasped the arrow, only to be zapped harshly, leaving the smell of burning flesh and one hell of an ache in his palm. He hissed and brought his hand to his face to inspect it. The flesh was torn and blackened. He felt it spreading into his shoulders, then to his lungs. He couldn't breathe. His chest tightened, constricting his lungs. I.. can't.. breathe.. Spots danced before his eyes but he forced them to stay open.

A tugging on his soul snapped him awake. Someone is trying to invade my barrier. He let his aura search out. A miko? He narrowed his eyes.
Her intentions are pure, but she is afraid. Feeling weak, his barrier wavered. It is too late now. He felt his ki drain away returning him to his kitsune form. A silver light enveloped him. As it cleared a silver kitsune lay in his place. Is this the end for me? Was his last thought.
