-------------------------------------~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~----------------------------------

Flash back:
“Kara, today we’re going to be working on hand to hand combat, you must always be prepared and have a weapon even if it is just your fists.” With that the two girls stated to fight.
Kagome has taught the girl the skills she just needed to put them to use. So in order to test her charges strength she went all out and did not hold back. She went at Kara with every thing she had.
The blond girl could not believe her green eyes; her usually calm and laid back mentor was tearing into her. She was physically bigger in height but Kagome was trained for years to be able to do combat in any situation.
Kagome continued to go at Kara until night fall. Kara was breathing heavy and sweating like a pig on a hot summer day, while Kagome looked to have just started to sweat. ‘What the hell is she made of, steel.’ Kara thought.
“You are not focusing on what was taught to you.” Kagome said as she dropped her stance. “Come, we will eat and bathe, tomorrow we will try again.” Kagome said as she walked off.
After the girls bathed they were served a warm meal by grandpa, he said it had special rejuvenating abilities. ‘Yeah right.’ Both girls thought.
Kara got up and went to walk out the door. “Where are you going?” Kagome asked.
“To walk off the food I just consumed.” She said while patting her full stomach.
Kagome nodded, “Be careful because even thought not to many wild Youkai exist in the city the woods and mountains are full of them. Take a weapon with you.” Kagome advised.
“I won’t need one I am not going far.” Kara insisted before going out of the door. A couple of hours passed and Kagome had fallen asleep waiting for Kara to return.
Kagome was shaken awake in the morning by grandpa asking her where Kara was. Kagome shot up out of her sleeping spot and shot out of the door. Out side Kagome noticed markings on the ground that she could tell there was a struggle and something or some ONE was drug off.
Kagome grabbed a sword and followed the marks into the woods. After a while it led into a clearing where Kara’s body was hanging from a tree. Her bodies’ organs spewed on the ground with chunks missing from each and her skin was scratched open and welts were on the body. Her mouth was hanging open and her eyes looked scared. Kagome could smell that she was well past dead and that what ever drug her off violated her as well.
She had probably screamed for help but Kagome had been in such a deep sleep she did not hear any thing. Had she called for her or grandpa as they drug her off? Had she cried there names while they ripped her innocence away? Had she died with honor and killed them before they had her? From the smell of things they got away with it. It was more than one she could smell, three had partaken in her body, both in feast and physical, cardinal pleasure.
Kagome let Kara’s body down and sat cradling the girls’ cold dead lifeless body to her. If she had only gone with her, if she had only trained her better, if she had forced her to take a weapon she maybe alive, she maybe have had a chance, she may have been here with her training just like yesterday.
As Kagome sat on the cold ground, her eyes began to bleed red. She had gotten a good nose full of the stench of the demons that did this. She set Kara’s body on the ground and took off running after the vermin who dared to touch what wasn’t theirs to par-take in.
Kagome hunted them down easy enough. They were about a mile up the mountain from where they had left the body. They were not moving so she either knew they were a sleep of they were loafing around. She came upon their camp and before they could react she had them bind by her power and up against the rocks of the mountain.
“So, tell me, did the girl you killed last night beg for you to let her go? Did she call out and scream as you took her then ate her alive?” Kagome’s voice was deep and feral it came out in a growl.
The snake Youkai didn’t say anything, so Kagome slowly tortured them to death. Slowly and painfully she purified them to punish them for the pain that Kara must have felt before she died. She drug it out from the morning all the way to midnight before they finally had no vices left and could no longer scream, then that was when she finished what she started.
She trudged back to Kara’s body and carried her to the waterfall close by, it was Kara’s favorite spot, and Kagome buried her there but the tree line. She said a prayer to send her soul off then took a dip in the water to cool off and clean the blood and dirt off before she returned to grandpa.
Back at camp she explained to grandpa about what happened and he looked at her in shock. Some where during the day Kagome’s last power barrier fell and she reached her full power for her at the moment but with more training she did the stronger she would become.
So Gramps said that Kagome could return to her father and search for the item that had given to her to protect.

Sesshoumaru had pulled Kagome into his lap while she talked, he now sat in silence, ‘Does she still feel it was her fault for the girl’s death?’ “Kagome, Kara’s death was not your fault, you do know that don’t you?”
She laughed have heartedly, “Now you sound like Kouga.”
Sesshoumaru raised and eye brow at being compared to her brother. “Your brother is right then and very wise. If she had taken a weapon as you suggested she still would be alive.”
“But how do you know that what if she wasn’t strong enough, what if she was not trained well enough?” Kagome asked.
Sesshoumaru turned her to look at him in the eye’s, “I know this because you were her mentor and you would tried your hardest to train her and your hardest would probably rival mine, so I know that she would have won had she a weapon.” Sesshoumaru stated with absoluteness in his voice.
Kagome was still a bit unsure, so Sesshoumaru put a stop to the talk, to save for a later time. “Sleep, I need to talk to my father before I go to bed I will be back in a little while.”
Kagome got up looked around the room, the she tuned to Sesshoumaru with questioning eye’s, “What is it my dear?” He asked seeing her look.
“What happened to my cloths they were here when we left? I am sure of it.” She said with certainty still looking around.
Sesshoumaru smirked, “Check the dresser by the closet. I will be back soon.” With that he nuzzled her cheek left.
As he said she found her cloths in the dresser all folded neatly and ready to be put on. Kagome pulled out her favorite dark blue shirt that went down to mid thigh and a pair of short, shorts that were hidden underneath the shirt. She climbed into the bed and snuggled under the covers that smelled strongly of Sesshoumaru, soon she was asleep wrapped in his covers and scent.
Downstairs the brothers were telling their father what had happened. “That is impossible I know him he would never do that.” Inu no Tashio said.
“I know father, I had a hard time believing it too, that is until I smelled the air and smelt his arousal and Kagome’s fear, then I felt Sesshoumaru slipping. I knew then that Sesshoumaru had saved Kagome from being rapped.” Inuyasha said to his father.
Tashio still shook his head, ‘This does not sound like the Tasukie I know.’ He was shook out of his thought by Sesshoumaru’s voice. “If he touches what is mine again he will die, the only reason he still lives is because he is your long time friend and business partner.” With that Sesshoumaru vacated the room. Inuyasha just shrugged before he too left. ‘Hm, it would appear I have some investigating to do.’
Upstairs Sesshoumaru walked into his room to find a god sent present. Kagome was on his bed wrapped tightly in his covers with her face dug into his pillow. Sesshoumaru stripped, normally he would sleep naked but he didn’t want to freak her out on the first night with him, no he left his boxers on then lifted the covers to find her in a long shirt and black shorts that were just barely visible beneath the shirt. He shuttered at the thought of touching that all night, ‘Let’s hope I can handle it.’ He thought before climbing in with her.
As soon as he was situated Kagome scooched closer to him and he wrapped his arms a round her and he too fell to sleep.
