'Kagome's powers talking to her'

----

Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei all stood in Koenma's office as the teenage looking spirit prince was pacing at the latest report he had received from his detectives. Kurama had confirmed that rumors were circulating about the mysterious demon lord of the east was planning on competing in the next tournament to determine the lord of the south. On top of which, it seemed that some of the eastern demons had been crossing over into the human world. It was like this that Botan found them as she sprinted into the room saying that a very powerful demon had just entered the Ningenkai and was making his way toward a town.

Koenma instantly took charge as he looked over the others. “Botan make a portal to grab Genkai and one to this demon. I will accompany the team to deal with it while you gather Genkai and meet us at the location.”

The ferry girl nodded as she left through one portal after opening one for the others. All of the men filed through and found themselves to be in a forest and they were all easily able to sense the dark demonic energy emanating from somewhere a little ways off. Another energy had Kurama darting off in a flash and Yusuke cursing up a storm. Even Hiei tore off as soon as he felt his sister's energy swirling near the energy of the woman from Yusuke's a few weeks prior. Koenma took hold of Kuwabara and formed a barrier made of energy in order to hurtle after the demons of their group, as that was the only way that they'd be able to keep up.

When they finally neared the source of the energy they slammed into a barrier and cursed their luck. Yusuke began trying to tear it down with both his energy and his bare hands while Kurama paused to study it for weaknesses. Hiei's bandana was off and his jagan was glowing as he also tried to find a way to penetrate the barrier. Koenma landed near them and Kuwabara instantly tried his sword which cut through dimensions, only to be stopped by the barrier after bending for a few moments. Koenma also tried breaking the barrier only to be met with no success.

Kagome and Yukina had been relaxing as Kagome spoke lowly about battles against demons and humans alike for a small bauble that caused nothing but immeasurable pain and trouble. No names were named, but Yukina could easily gather that Kagome had to be the time travelling priestess which held the group together. It was the only explanation that allowed for the in-depth information that the woman was giving out. Somewhere in the story, the demon kitten called Kirara arrived and Yukina put two and two together in order to figure out that it was the same fire cat from the miko's tale.

Just before Kagome could end her story a weak youki appeared nearby, causing both girls to rush from the water and into their clothing before it could get any nearer. It was only moments later that the scent of copper filled the air and both women looked to each other, recognizing the scent to be blood. A white haired woman stumbled into the small clearing, bleeding profusely while carrying two small bundles in her arms. Blurry violet eyes looked up into emerald green and the miko couldn't help but gasp at the feel of the young girl's aura. She was so very familiar looking that Kagome recognized her in an instant, but her aura was so full of pain, sadness, and distrust that it was heartbreaking.

The girl before her looked at them with guarded eyes while blood still spilled from many injuries on her body. A flickering barrier appeared around what Kagome knew to be a hanyou girl, but Kagome paid it no heed as she rushed forward and through it as though no barrier were there. The aura that was suffocating the poor girl was achingly familiar and yet so startlingly different. Her arms wrapped around the woman as said woman began to growl. “Oh Shiori, what has Inuyasha done to you?”

That made the woman pause before trying to focus her eyes, but she simply couldn't. A soft cry had the woman hugging her pulling back and looking to the two bundles held carefully in her injured arms. Widened azure eyes took her in before she felt that which she was trying to flee and began to whimper in pain and fear because he had finally caught up to her.

A dark chuckle reverberated through the air as all three women stiffened at the feel of the dangerous youki. Kagome shifted slightly so that she faced toward the sound while Yukina paled and moved closer to her friend. “It seems I've caught you my dear, and now I shall have to punish you for running away from home. But first it seems as though I get to kill these worthless females first, or maybe I can have some fun with them beforehand.”

Fear exploded from Yukina's aura and Kagome resisted the urge to growl as she heard the sinister intent held within that voice. Kagome moved into a crouch as she felt a barrier rise around them and at the same time she shifted the bat hanyou behind her with a few whispered words to Yukina asking her to try to heal the girl's injuries. For once Kagome was glad of her training as her hands twitched at her sides and unnoticeable to the women at her back, dainty claws began to form where once blunt human nails had been. “I'm afraid that I don't play with dirty hanyou.”

“Why you bitch,” the voice snarled as he dropped down from his spot in the trees to face her. He paused for a moment before chuckling darkly. “You remind me of someone, a little bird in a cage.”

She didn't rise to the bait, not wanting him to fully realize exactly who she was. Instead she narrowed her gaze at him and gave a good impression of a growl. “What are you doing here, half-breed?”

He snarled at her as he advanced to where she was crouched. His right hand twitched as he grabbed his sword and pulled it from its sheath. “I'm here to collect my mate, little bitch. And if you don't watch yourself I think I might keep you alive for a while yet just to torture you into submission.”

Kagome's eyes narrowed as he confirmed her suspicions about Shiori's aura before a soft growl escaped her throat. Without thinking on the consequences of her actions she flashed forward and in a shower of sparks his rusty old blade blocked her sword made of pure white energy. His eyes narrowed at her show of power, but he had no time to think as he had many more strikes to block. Power pulsed around the girl as the two entered into a deadly dance, though in the end she managed to knock the blade from within his hands to stand tip down in the dirt.

“Keh, I don't need the dumb sword to kill your dumb ass,” he growled as he charged her with his claws.

She dodged to the side and blocked his next strike with a blast of energy. He growled and his eyes darted to the women behind her before a devious smirk lit up his face. In an instant she knew his plans and before his next attack could land, her barrier formed, though a second to late as one of his blood blades struck her shoulder. Against the pain she managed to growl out, “that was low, even for a half-breed like you. Learn that from Naraku?”

“Bitch,” he snarled as he rushed her barrier with his claws.

A pulsing sensation reached Kagome as she looked to her side and saw the Tetsusaiga still stabbed into the earth next to her. In a moment of realization she reached out her hand and took hold of the hilt, slowly drawing the blade as the pulse quickened until the sword transformed before her very eyes. Anger and hate appeared in Inuyasha's eyes in that moment as he hadn't been able to get the blade to transform in centuries. The woman's eyes turned to him and hardened as her barrier dropped and the windscar began twisting around the blade. Another pulse and the blade turned red as her eyes darkened. So low that even Inuyasha couldn't hear, she whispered to the blade, “I never thought that it would turn out this way and I'm sorry you feel betrayed, but I will help you get revenge on the one you once called master.”

“I'll kill you you little bitch! Tetsusaiga is mine!” Inuyasha screamed as he raced forward.

“Tetsusaiga was never yours,” she whispered into the wind. “Windscar.”

Koenma had mere seconds to warn his team and they all managed to scatter as the huge blast of demon energy raced through where they had just been standing, leaving five deep gouges scoring the earth. Hiei growled as he recognized that attack before noticing the aura was nearby and seeing that it was indeed Inuyasha, and he was bleeding. As one the demons moved to face the demon as he called out to an unseen person, “ha bitch, you missed.”

The team were all unprepared for the sight that greeted them, as Kagome appeared holding a giant fang that Hiei recognized to be Tetsusaiga. “I think not half-breed, for you are bleeding.”

Hiei's heart stopped as that voice was so achingly familiar, but it was impossible for this woman to be his mate. His Kagome had died in battle five hundred years ago, not to mention only hanyou and few demons could manage to wield the Tetsusaiga like the woman before him was doing. Yusuke went to race forward only to be stopped by the hanyou's blades of blood before returning his attention to the girl. “I don't know who you are, bitch, but my name is Inuyasha and if you call me that one more time I'll make you beg for death before I'm through with you.”

Even though he spoke, her eyes were not on him as she met the eyes of the energy she had felt as soon as the barrier had broken. Crimson eyes locked onto her own azure as tears began to form and a single name fell from her lips, “Hiei.”
