Last Time:
"Awe... is the kitsune shy?" Kagome asked quietly as she giggled, and Shippo blushed.

"Hope I'm not interrupting anything." Hiei said as he finally stepped out of the shadows. The two looked up at him and Kagome smiled with slight happiness.

"Of course you're not Hiei." Gently laying Hiten back down and tucking him in then kissing his forehead goodnight, she also kissed Shippo's cheek and wished him a goodnight.

This Time:

The miko returned to her room with Hiei following silently. He hadn't really spoken much since her story earlier. Her thoughts were racing now, trying to figure out why he was being so quiet. Could he hate me for all the things I did? All the demons I slaughtered? Her sapphire tears started to fall as she thought.

The fire demon sensed them and turned her to face him. "Kagome?" he questioned.

"Please don't hate me Hiei!" She cried as she collapsed into his arms.

That had him shocked. "Why would I hate you?"

"Everything I did. What I am, because I never told you." She sobbed out.

"I don't hate you for it Kagome."

"But I'm not even human!" She sobbed. She knew she surprised him with that one, as he had tensed at her words.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I'm no longer human. I don't know what I am... I can't... I can't remember." Sobs were still escaping as she held tightly onto him. "I don't even know what I look like. Kaede put a concealment spell on me to hide my changes."

"And you're only telling me this now?" The demon asked, slight anger tinting his voice.

The girl flinched at his tone, easily able to feel the anger coming from his body. "I didn't want you to hate me when I don't even know how to take the spell off or even what I am."

"Then why tell me this now?"

"You wanted to know my past, and this is part of it."

"And I also know that you left parts out of your story earlier."

"I'm sorry Hiei, I'm just not completely ready to talk about all of it."

"Come on Keiko." Kagome said as she pulled the still half asleep girl into the living room. "Wait here." Then she headed for Shizuru's room. "Shizu, get up."

"Why? What's going on?" The girl asked as she slowly started to awaken.

"Meet me in the living room please." And she left for Yukina's room. "Yukina."

"Hmm... Kagome?"

"Would you like to learn to fight? As a way to defend yourself?"

"You'd teach me?"

"Hai." The girl nodded. "Meet me out in the living room." Then she walked out and over to Souta's room. Knocking on the door, she whispered a command. "Wake Kazu and meet me in the living room."

Not five minutes later did the boy appear with a half awake Kuwabara. "What's going on?" The little group turned to see Shippo leaning against the door frame.

"We're going to train." Kagome said as she and Kirara appeared. "I'm training all of you in Shugendo."

"I figured as much." Souta said with a slight smile. "We're bringing the ways of the slayer back I take it?"

"Of course," the miko nodded.

"Why us?" Keiko asked.

"You're my cousin and you deserve to know, Shizuru and Yukina could use the skills to defend themselves, and Kazu can be trained to be a better fighter. If you want, you can contact Botan and she can learn too."

"Sounds good to me," Shizuru said with a shrug.

"Yes. I'm glad that you'll teach me." Yukina said as she bowed her head in thanks.

"You're going to train me?" Kuwabara asked. "But you're a girl."

"She's more than that." Shippo said with a smirk. "Demons know her as Aka No Miko and Megami No Miko."

"Bloody priestess and priestess of death?" Yukina asked.

"Hai, the humans used to call her shinsei no miko, kenage no miko, and mamoru no youkai taijiya miko." Shippo said in amusement.

"Enough about those names Ship." The girl said with a slight glare. "We'll train out in the forest."

"What have you guys been doing?" Yusuke asked as the group of four boys traveled to where they needed to kill a few demons. It'd been a month since the kitsune lord had appeared.

"We've been training." The man said with a sigh. "Remind me to never agree to it again."

"Why? Kagome make you paint your nails in training?" The detective asked with a laugh.

"I think I'd rather do that." He said.

"Her training can't be that bad." Kurama said easily. "She is, after-all, a pregnant woman."

"She's that bad." The human said as he glared at the kitsune. "But she is good."

"Hn."

"What's wrong Hiei, you not know about her abilities?" Yusuke asked.

"I heard about them a month ago, but I've never really seen them." The fire demon said neutrally.

Demons appeared a moment later. "Koenma sent you guys after us again?" One of the demons cackled.

The ones with demonic blood growled at them. Yusuke was taiyoukai class, but Kurama and Hiei were A-Class. Kuwabara was a low D-Class human.... At least, he was before Kagome's training. The demons all came at them at once. There were more than there were last time, but the team was doing pretty good. Surprisingly, Kuwabara was as well.

"When did he get that good?" Yusuke asked Kurama and Hiei as they watched the man dodge several attacks at once.

"Spirit blast!" The man yelled as yellow energy circled his hand and shot out at the opponents. That surprised his fellow teammates immensely. Another demon tried to get him, but he backflipped out of the way and landed by his fellow team.

"Where the fuck did you learn to do that?" Yusuke asked as the other demons got about ready to charge.

"Kagome taught me." He said as he started concentrating his energy and formed a weapon. It was the hiraikotsu, and he threw it at the enemy.

Dozens fell to the attack, and the weapon vanished as soon as it returned to his hand. "Nice one Kuwabara." Kurama complimented as he snapped his whip at the enemies.

And the battle continued. Kuwabara started using his sword more, using better techniques than he normally had. He also dodged and attacked with a fighting skill that almost made him look graceful.

"Come on guys." Yusuke urged as he dragged Hiei and Kurama after him. "I wanna see what they're doing."

"I suppose I am rather curious." Kurama admitted as he started shielding his energy.

"That's pointless fox. Kagome will still sense you."

"How do you know that Hiei?" Yusuke asked.

"I completely masked my presence and yet she still sensed me, even told me I should've hidden my aura if I did not wish for her to be able to."

"Shh..." Kurama said suddenly. "They're over there." The small group of three made their way over to the clearing to see what was going on.

"Come on Souta, hit me." Kagome said.

"Sis, you're pregnant."

"Really?" she asked as she looked down at her rounded stomach. "I just thought I was fat."

"Sis..." The boy whined.

"Just throw the energy ball."

"Nope."

"Momma's not gonna break." Shippo said as he pushed the boy out of the way and charged up his energy. "I'll do it." And he did. A swirling blue ball was let loose and headed for the pregnant miko.

Said miko smiled in thanks. Her muscles tensed as silver flames started dancing around her body before solidifying into a barrier. Shippo's hit slammed into the barrier with amazing force as his jyaki battled her shenki. Kagome's blue-gray eyes turned solid silver as her energy rose further. Shippo chuckled as his eyes flashed golden, his power rising as well. His was easily felt though, and it had most of the others backing away. Though it had the miko giggling as her barrier started to fall. Souta noticed and his eyes widened. "Sis!"

"I'm fine Souta." The silver flames began to burn brightly as they now danced along her flesh. The barrier hardened as it fed off her energy. "Don't hold back Shippo. I might as well test your strength."

"Hai momma," and now the kitsune concentrated, pushing forth all his power into his new attack. "Kitsune bi!" Blue fire flew from his finger tips and rammed into the barrier.

"Shit, do you think her barrier can stand against that?" Yusuke asked as his wide eyes took in the powerful attack. "I'm not sure how long I could stand against it."

Hiei was tense, especially after his words. Kurama was the one who spoke. "I don't think she can."

That's when the attack slammed into the barrier. She growled against the strain on the barrier. The others stood wide eyed, thinking that they should help her, but not being able to move. Winds started whipping around her suddenly and her form began to flicker, showing flashes of markings, and her power rose higher. Everything suddenly calmed as her barrier opened. "Sis!" Souta screamed as he started to run to her, only to be grabbed by the kitsune. "Let me go Shippo."

"She's fine Uncle Souta." The kitsune said as he held tightly. The three in the woods noticed this and were slightly confused.

"Listen to him Souta." Came Kagome's soft voice as she smiled at him with the blue flames surrounding her still. "I'm perfectly fine."

"B-but you're surrounded in flames." Souta cried out.

She just shook her head. "Souta, I adopted Shippo by youkai laws. I'm immune to his fire attacks. Besides, the flames aren't even touching me." Holding out her hand, she showed them the skin tight barrier that surrounded her. "See, I merely shrank the barrier."

"That's a neat trick." Kuwabara said as he looked closely.

"Yes, and you'll all be learning it." She said with a smile.

"How come you never taught me that?" Souta pouted.

"I never thought you'd actually need it." Soon she had all of them working with their energy and making skin tight shields out of it. After two hours, she moved to combat. "Souta," she called as the others practiced. To be fair, Shippo took on both Shizuru and Kuwabara. Keiko and Yukina were sparring together. Leaving Souta on his own.

"Hai sister," the boy said as he dropped into a fighting stance.

Kagome smiled and raised a shield around her belly, "time to play."

"Sounds like fun." Souta retorted before disappearing in a blur. He could outmatch most demons’ speeds.

"It does." And her form blurred as well. The clang of metal was all that was heard as their blurred forms clashed. The group stopped their sparring to look at them. The three in the trees also watched. They didn't seem to land, they appeared to fly. Yes, they flew through the air.

After many minutes, they did land. And Souta's violet eyes shined silver as well as he held out his right hand, "wind tunnel!" Furious winds roared to life as power swarmed around the young boy. Eyes still glowing a deep silver he smiled as he allowed his shenki to crackle around the opening.

The woman smiled as she felt the pull of the winds. Her eyes had faded to gray, but they once more hardened to silver as they opened. Silver energy snaked around her, dancing in a mysterious way as she held up her palm. The glow began to darken and surround her outstretched flesh as the sky suddenly started to cloud over and darken, "souls of light." Her voice was calm as she spoke. The energy in her hand turned pure white and rocketed toward the air void.

"Ah!" Souta screamed as the blast hit his hand and sealed his attack. "So you found a way to stop it?" He more stated than asked.

"Didn't think I'd find a way around that attack?" She asked with a smile.

"Not many people can seal it from a distance." Souta stated with a glare

"I'm not many people." She giggled. "After all, I was around Miroku and the wind tunnel for many years. I was the one who stopped its spread."

"I know that." He sighed. "But fine. Long distance weapons?"

"Agreed," Kagome called back as she pulled her bow from her bracelet, and firing an arrow at him.

"Crap." The boy said before pulling out hiraikotsu and blocking her arrow from hitting his body.

"Gotta be faster than that!" she called as she pulled the string back and another arrow materialized. Soon she was firing rapidly and Souta was barely able to dodge.

"That's it!" He called out as he threw hiraikotsu at her and pulled a whip from his bracelet. It swung around him as his eyes narrowed. Kagome fired five arrows in rapid succession, causing Souta to smile and crack his whip. It knocked away the arrows with ease, "my turn to go offensive."

Kagome took a hit to her shoulder before she managed to dodge, "very good." She said as she stood from her crouched position. Her eyes flashed with deadly intent as she smiled darkly. "Prepare yourself!" And she disappeared.

No one could see her. They couldn't even feel where she was at. "So not fair," Souta murmured before his eyes widened and he dodged quickly. A large gouge appeared where he was just standing. Pulling something off his charm bracelet, he revealed them to be twin swords. He used them to block her next strike. "Do you have to use Kyo Kami?"

She raised a brow at that. "Suppose I could use Ryuujin."

"Shit." He muttered as she flipped backwards and drew her other sword. "You're trying to kill me, aren't you?"

"I'm hurt." She pouted. "You know I would never hurt you Souta."
