Kagome floated behind this woman in shock. She ran her fingers through this woman's hair and felt nothing. Her cool touch caused the woman to jerk in surprise. Her hair was a beautiful ivory and her eyes were gray. Kagome wrapped her arms around the woman and embraced her with uncertainty. She had to find something out and quick. The woman was a Miko, but she had an opening that allowed Kagome to pry inside her mind. Inuyasha's golden eyes watched in confusion as Kagome embraced the woman.

 

“What are you doing?” Inuyasha questioned with annoyance.

 

Kagome glared at him but mover her hand to the woman's temples. Kagome closed her eyes pushed her hands inside the woman's body. A grim smile twisted her lips as she felt something similar to her energy.

 

“Care to explain?” Inuyasha questioned as he flew closer.

 

Kagome wistfully smiled as she pulled away. Inuyasha pondered her reaction as he looked over at the two people. It was like looking into a mirror.

 

“She's…she's my child,” Kagome whispered as his golden eyes widened and mouth dropped.

 

 

 

Kurama sighed as he ran all through the city to reach this tower. His emerald eyes narrowed as he dodged a few pedestrians. He could see the tower just ahead. Kurama squinted and could make out a form on the roof of the observatory. A shadow passed by him and he saw Kuronue flying ahead. Kurama prayed that they wouldn't be purified by an accident. The purification would kill Hiei and Kuronue, and severely injure him. Being purified wasn't on the list of things to do. He made a list for grocery shopping, but he didn't put `be purified' next to the eggs.

 

Kuronue could see the woman just ahead. Her scarlet hakama stood out against the graying sky. Her bell-sleeved haori blew in the wind as she lifelessly stared down at the ground. He noticed her shiver and gazed at her face. She bore a resemblance to Kagome. Her arms came up to her shoulders as if she were pretending to have wings. Indigo eyes widened as she ran forward and jumped. The material of her Chihaya blew upward and he dove for her. Kuronue stopped, as the woman remained suspended in midair. Her eyes were still closed.

 

Golden eyes flashed toward him with a look of anger. Kuronue stared at the figure as it took form. His form was still wasn't solid, but he held onto the woman. He could make out the red robs and the silver hair. He tossed the woman up like a doll and caught her. She remained limp throughout the process. The figure glanced at Kuronue and smirked allowing a bit of fang to poke out. Two silver wings appeared on his back and he shone with pride. He winked and in an instant, they both vanished.

 

“Where's the Miko?” Hiei questioned as he appeared on the observatory roof.

 

“An angel took her,” Kuronue voiced as he scratched his head.

 

“Baka Koumori, they are all Fallen,” Hiei reminded.

 

“I see that someone has finally learned something,” Kagome voiced as her transparent form appeared.

 

“Where did your friend take that Miko?” Kuronue growled. Kagome raised her hand and tapped her chin in thought.

 

“I don't know,” Kagome sighed.

 

“I don't believe you,” Hiei calmly said as he glared at her.

 

“Whether you believe me or not is not my concern,” Kagome simply said as she flew off.

 

Kuronue scowled and followed her. He dove at her and passed through her form. Kagome raised an eyebrow at him and chuckled. He tried again, failed, and she stilled as he continued this.

 

“You'll never touch me,” Kagome stated.

 

“I'm hoping you'll lose concentration and turn solid,” Kuronue admitted as he passed a hand through her face.

 

“You're wrong. You see I have to concentrate to keep my flesh,” Kagome pointed out.

 

“Really?” Kuronue asked as he swiped at her head.

 

Kagome growled and smacked his arm away. He quickly brought his other hand around and it went through her. Kagome raised her hand and smacked his hat off. He scowled and quickly caught if before it caught on the wind. Kagome turned around and went back to flying. She had to find Inuyasha so they could come up with a plan.

 

“Where you going?” Kuronue shouted.

 

“Nowhere,” Kagome honestly answered.

 

“Then I'm following you,” Kuronue stated.

 

“You can't follow what you can't see,” Kagome sang as her form began to dim.

 

“No fair…how about a bet?” Kuronue impulsively asked.

 

Kagome stopped and spun around to face him. Her nose was a breath from his nose. He raised an eyebrow and wondered what he had done.

 

“What type of a bet?” Kagome questioned with a grin.

 

“A bet where we can earn something if one wins,” Kuronue added. Kagome raised an eyebrow.

 

“You're lame,” she simply said as she held out her hand. Two dice appeared from black smog that gathered in her palm. They were black with engraving in each of six sides.

 

“What are those?” Kuronue questioned with a wary look.

 

“These are Soul's Fate,” Kagome answered. “These are the dice that I use when buying souls.”

 

“I don't want to give you my soul!” Kuronue snapped with a glare.

 

“I know, I know…that's why I'm modifying them,” Kagome assured.

 

“How so?” He questioned.

 

“If you roll an even number, six or lower then you'll have to owe me a favor, if you roll an even number higher then six then I'll give you a truthful answer,” Kagome explained.

 

“What about the odd numbers?” Kuronue voiced. Kagome's grinned darkened.

 

“The odd numbers are the hardest to roll. If you roll a three and lower I'll give you a feather from my wing—”

 

“What will that do?” Kuronue interrupted as Kagome scowled.

 

“Anyways, if you rolled an odd three or lower you'll get one of my feathers. My feathers can be used for anything within my power. If you roll anything higher then a five then I will give a riddled answer to a question you ask,” Kagome finished.

 

“I don't know,” Kuronue sighed as he stared at her.

 

“Those are the easiest odds I've given out since Caesar!” Kagome growled.

 

`I've got a bad feeling,' Kuronue thought.

 

“If you don't want the deal…then I'll just be on my way,” Kagome sighed as she turned to fly off.

 

Kuronue hesitated before he shouted, “Wait!”

 

Kagome grinned before she threw the dice up and caught them. This was going to be fun since this was her game. She turned around with a confused smile. Kuronue frowned at her and she sighed.

 

“Who roll's first?” Kuronue asked as she smirked.

 

“You may,” Kagome offered as she threw the dice to him.

 

He caught them and stared at the black cubes. They looked normal enough and didn't seem to be rigged. He sighed and threw them. Kagome watched with her blues eyes as they rolled and stopped in the air. Her smirk turned to a frown

 

“Eight,” Kuronue said with a grin.

 

“Ask anything,” Kagome growled.

 

“What was that thing that attacked you?” Kuronue questioned.

 

“That was an Infernal,” Kagome answered.

 

“What's that?” He asked. Kagome chuckled.

 

“One question per roll,” Kagome taunted as she tossed him the cubes. He shook them in his hand and threw them once more.

 

“Five,” Kuronue said as the dice stopped.

 

“Who is that Kikyo to you?” Kuronue asked as her pupils narrowed.

 

“One, two, it's like me and you. Four and five it takes some time. Six and seven it's not allowed in heaven. Eight and nine it's something of mine. Now I'm at ten and will not let it happen again,” Kagome rhymed.

 

“Do I get any clues?” Kuronue questioned as she shook her head.

 

He sighed and picked up the dice. He rolled them and she fumed as the dice came up as a three. Kagome ruffled her feathers and growled when one didn't loosen. Kuronue watched as she ripped one out of her wing. She winced a bit and stared at the pearl colored feather. This youkai didn't know what he gaining form this feather. Kagome threw him the dice again and laughed when he rolled a four.

 

“What do I owe you?” Kuronue questioned.

 

“All in good time,” Kagome laughed as the dice erupted in flames.

 

“No more?” He voiced in confusion.

 

“You didn't set a limit of rolls or an amount of time,” Kagome replied as she began to fade.

 

Kagome blew him a kiss and vanished from his sight. He held the pearl feather in between his fingers. It still puzzled him that she had given him a feather. He tucked it into his vest and took off toward the ground. They would have to speak to Koenma about this suicidal Miko. Kuronue frowned as he thought of her rhyme; it made no sense.

 

 

 

Inuyasha growled as he threw the Miko into the room. He had found an abandoned apartment complex. Kagome had told him to take her somewhere safe and he had done his deed. Kikyo stared up at him with wide eyes before she scooted into a corner. Dust and dirt gathered on her white haori as she huddled and rocked herself back and forth. Inuyasha snorted at the human with obvious disgust. Inuyasha glanced out toward the broken door and watched as a white light flashed. It seemed that this room could be to close to the entrance. He snickered when thoughts of Kikyo entering through the entrance passed his mind.

 

“Inuyasha,” a calm voice called out.

 

His smirk dropped to a frown as he turned around to face the angel. Inuyasha wanted to know why this idiot was here. There was no reason for an angel to be so close to the entrance.

 

“What the hell do you want?” Inuyasha growled as he turned to face the angel.

 

Two silver wings were huddled against his back as the long feathers stood out against the dim light. His transparent form still showed that he had taken a male form. Short messy brown hair and deep brown eyes merely gazed at Inuyasha. Inuyasha growled at the angel, he hated it when this idiot remained calm. The action pissed him off to no end. His white robe brushed against the dirty floor, yet remained clean.

 

“Inuyasha, is that anyway to treat an old friend?” The angel questioned with an innocent grin.

 

“What do you want…Houjou?” Inuyasha seriously asked.

 

Houjou sighed as he walked over to the Miko huddled in the corner. Her gray eyes glanced at him and she squeaked in fear. Houjou frowned as he took a step back. His brown eyes traveled back to Inuyasha.

 

“What are you doing with this Miko?” Houjou firmly demanded.

 

“Wouldn't you like to know,” Inuyasha laughed as the Miko covered her ears.

 

“I smell, I breathe and yet I suffocate,” Kikyo whispered as she squeezed her eyes shut.

 

“She's off the wall,” Inuyasha laughed as he watched her cower.

 

“This woman is one of the one's that I watch over,” Houjou sternly said.

 

“If she's like this then you must be doing a horrible job,” Inuyasha mocked as Houjou glared at him.

 

“Houjou…why are you so close to the entrance?” Kagome questioned as she took form.

 

“And why do you take flesh?” Houjou questioned as she raised an eyebrow.

 

“Because I will do anything to defy him,” Kagome answered as Houjou glowered at her.

 

Kagome walked over to Kikyo and rested her palm against her forehead. The woman slumped forward and Kagome caught her in her arms. Kagome carefully rested her on the floor and smiled. Houjou took a tense step forward.

 

“This woman is no longer one of yours,” Kagome warned as she stood up and glared at Houjou.

 

“You think you can tell me my job.” Houjou almost shouted with a frown.

 

“You know the rules...attempted suicides are ours,” Kagome purred.

 

“You believe yourself to be so high,” Houjou began.

 

“Please save it, I don't want a speech,” Kagome growled.

 

“You'll be the one to fall the hardest,” Houjou finished as her pupils narrowed.

 

“You better go before I take you to the entrance,” Kagome hissed as the angel spread his wings.

 

“You wouldn't dare!” Houjou growled.

 

“She would, you know that she doesn't play by all the rules,” Inuyasha reminded with a yawn.

 

“This is all a game to you?” Houjou incredulously questioned.

 

“No duh,” Kagome sighed.

 

“We used to be friends,” Houjou sighed as he stared at her.

 

“That is in the past…what's done is done,” Kagome coldly reminded.

 

“I just hope you find peace,” Houjou sighed as he vanished.

 

Kagome growled as glared at the spot Houjou had occupied. They were all friends at one point. Now, they were nothing more then two opposing sides bent on the other's eternal destruction. Kagome spat at him and turned to face the unconscious Miko.

 

“Care to explain how she is your daughter?” Inuyasha questioned.

 

“Not to you,” Kagome huffed.

 

“Then what do you plan to do with her?” Inuyasha questioned.

 

“Keep watch over her, whatever happens to her happens to you,” Kagome calmly said. Inuyasha glared at her as he turned to face her with a scowl.

 

“That's bullshit!” He shouted.

 

“I have always been higher rank, so don't make me give you an order,” Kagome growled as her blue eyes flashed with annoyance.

 

“You wouldn't dare,” Inuyasha hissed at her.

 

“You forgot who you deal with. I challenge everything and am willing to put aside our friendship for this,” Kagome made aware.

 

“All this for a bitch!” Inuyasha growled as he pointed to the Miko.

 

“Yes, it is something you'll never understand,” Kagome, sighed as she vanished.

 

“Bitch,” Inuyasha grumbled as his eyes traveled to the Miko.

 

His eyes narrowed in thought. It would be interesting if he could use this situation to his advantage. A smirk formed on his features as he thought of the possibilities.
