Chapter 10

 

The small group were headed to the park to have some fun. Shippo wanted to try out his newest ability to control plants. It had popped up a few days ago, and he had spent that time playing with the small plants and the grass around the shrine. He was hoping that the park would have plenty of flowers for him to work with, cause he found it fun to use plants to do things.

 

Souta thought it'd be fun to play around in the park as well. He was hoping that maybe Kagome could help him with his ki again. She had been helping him train with it since she got back. When she returned, it appeared she was different. He didn't know what it was, but something was different. It was while they were training that he found out what it was.

 

She had tajiya markings, demon marking, claws, and fangs... but she was still human. A human that had and could control youki. Even channel it through her hands to produce a deadly acid and acid whip. If you paid attention, you could see the power seeping from her frame. Though she had told him that she kept her markings cloaked and her powers masked.

 

So no one really ever saw her true markings. Souta only saw a few blurry markings. Though her concealment spell was removed when she was with Hiei, she didn't remove the glamour that kept her markings hidden. It was Hotaro who told her to keep them hidden. Her markings showed her power, with them invisible, no one knew her true strength.

 

At the moment, wisps of power were seeping off of her form. Though not many would be able to tell. It was her youki. It wanted out, and she hoped to use the plant life at the park to release it. Her youki could be used to manipulate plants, kind of like spirit kitsune. So hopefully the plants needed some energy to grow.

 

Blurry markings began to appear on her skin. Dark, black markings. Markings from something she shouldn't have any longer had. Though a few knew she did, none knew the truth about. She was the shikon... but she was also more. Silver flames began to dance along her skin, her power wanting to be freed. She stored up to much without using any.

 

Closing her eyes, she began releasing more. It'd be noticeable to those with a very heightened sense of awareness, but hopefully no one would notice. Slowly she started pushing some power into the grass that they walked by. The markings began to fade as the silver became transparent.

 

As soon as they reached the park, Kagome led them to a private part. Once there, she closed her eyes and loosed her youki. It seeped into everything that was near and the plants pulsed with life. The boys watched as her energy receded back into her skin. When her eyes opened, they were back to their normal blue color. She gave them a happy smile as she looked around at the plant life. All of which had grown rapidly. "Let's train!"

 

First she helped Souta. Having him close his eyes and open his mind to her powers. Going into his subconscious, she managed to lead him to his source of power. For one as young as he, it was tremendous. A barrier held it all in, and Kagome instructed him to concentrate and bring it down. To pull the power and wrap it around himself. The woman eased herself from his mind as she allowed him to do this on his own.

 

It was several minutes later that his once brown eyes snapped open. A gorgeous violet now looked out. Silver flecks lining his eyes. Just like her once brown eyes had turned to sapphire blue. His eyes changed as well. An aura of power now emanated from his frame. Power licked at every inch of his body as deep purple flames licked at his skin. Holy power surrounded his entire being. The strength of which emanated from his very soul.

 

Now it was time to teach him control and concealment. Power like theirs needed to be masked so no one could sense it. Though it was too late for that. For the detectors in Reikai had already caught the power surge. Already the prince had called for his detectives. Ordering Botan to fetch them quickly. Which took about two hours. Yusuke and Kuwabara had seemingly disappeared.

 

Back in the hidden clearing, Kagome was working with both boys. Shippo was easily controlling the plant life in the park. His favorite thing was the flowers. Manipulating them into twisting themselves into flowery crowns was rather fun. He gave one to his mother, and placed the other on Souta's head while snickering. Of course, Souta got him back by making him wear one.

 

Kagome giggled at them and called them silly. Breaking it up, she told Souta to keep practicing while she helped Shippo with his youki. She did the same process with him that she did with him as she did with Souta. Going into his mind and leading him to his power. Only, his was gold. When his eyes opened, they were flecked with gold. Youki swarmed his entire body as golden tendrils of fire danced along his flesh.

 

His eyes sparkled with happiness and he seemed so surprised at the amount of youki he had found. The gold traveled up his arms and over his entire body. "This is so cool!"

 

"Focus and tame it." Kagome said as she smiled happily. "Bring it back into yourself slowly."

The alarms went off once again as soon as everyone was in the office. "What is that?" Kuwabara asked.

 

"It senses power levels. Two power readings have been taken of considerable amounts. I want you to go out and find them." Koenma said as he furiously sucked on his pacifier. "I also want you to search for three stray demons. They crossed over this morning and we have just recently collected this information. They, however, are keeping hidden."

 

"Why are they in Ningenkai?" Kurama asked calmly.

 

"I'm not sure exactly, but I think they are looking for something or someone. No one knows much for sure, as there's not much on them."

 

"Hopefully this won't take long." Yusuke said in a bored tone. "Me and Kuwabara have other things to do."

 

"Just go find these demons and power sources!" Koenma commanded as a portal opened up below their feet, dropping all of them into some woods.

 

"Didn't have to do that." The detective said in annoyance as he managed to land on his feet.

 

"Let's just find these things and get it over with." Hiei said as he glared at them all.

 

"Whatever." Yusuke said as he walked off in some direction. The others followed after him as he headed a little deeper into the forest, where they could feel traces of youki and what Kurama thought to be pure seikouki.
