A/N: A/N: To the wonderful AnimeHuntress, thank you. Your work on my stories is deeply appreciated. I could always say, I couldn�t have done it without you, but that just wouldn�t be true. I could do it without you . . . It just wouldn�t be as good.

Ch.14

Ash hit the last Daimon in the jaw with a solid right hook, knocking him flat on his back. Then he twirled the same dagger that had taken out the first Daimon, between his fingers before plunging it into the Daimon�s chest, splintering him into dust, the wind would later blow away.

What a disappointment. He didn�t even need to get his staff out for the fight. If one could call it a fight even. All six of the Daimons had been taken care of with the same dagger and, or bare hands.

Ash looked over his shoulder at Kyrian. The ex-dark-hunter had his arms crossed over his chest, his back leaning against the brick wall surrounding his property. He looked very casual. Looks were very deceiving.

�You could have helped you know.�

�You didn�t need me to,� Kyrian pointed out the obvious with a shrugging of his shoulders, straightening from his position of leaning against the wall.

Ash stood up from his crouched position, wiping away some Daimon dust on his shoulder with a well-practiced flick of his wrist.

Both men started a slow trek back to the gates of the driveway.

�When you look at Kagome, what do you see?� Just like Kagome; Ash had also taken notice of the father and daughters facial expressions. It was obvious they both saw something different then others, when they looked at the small woman.

From what Ash�s goddaughter had said, it was something she found to be very pretty. However, she was, only four years old� And four year olds could find the simplest of things beautiful� But Marissa was no normal four year old. Add to that her father�s reaction, and well, there you had it.

Ash had thought, that with Amanda being a powerful sorceress, she could tell him something about Kagome and her powers. That maybe she could see or sense something he could not. Just because the fates had blocked his ability to see Kagome�s past, present, future, and powers, did not mean others could not read her. Amanda might still be able to tell him something, but for now, he wanted to hear what her husband saw when looking at the woman.

�Her soul, when we go into the house again, look at her with the same sight you would a Daimon.�

Ash sighed, his powers did not work the same way a normal dark-hunters did, he sent a look Kyrian�s way, or an ex-dark-hunter in this case.

All dark hunters could sense the presence of a Daimon within a certain range. They could also see where the souls, Daimons stole would gather in the Daimon�s chest. That is how they knew where to stab a Daimon, so they could kill them and release the trapped souls.

Because of what he was, he need not look for the souls. He actually felt them, they cried out to him in misery, fear and pain, wanting release. Not to say he did not have the ability to see souls, because he did. He just did not need the power most the time, so he did not use it.

Kyrian interrupted his thoughts. �I�ve never seen anything with a soul like hers before. Where did you meet her at?�

�Sanctuary, she was��

They had already entered the gate and were halfway down the drive, when a bolt-hole opened up, right in the middle of one of the rose gardens in Kyrian�s front yard. Daimons were starting to pour out the portal.

�I�m thinking I might just help you out this time.� Kyrian grimaced heavily, �Amanda�s going to be pissed about them trampling all over her roses.�

�Better the rose�s then us.� Ash sent a look to the house; the women would be fine as long as they stayed in the house. He plugged the ear pods from his mp3 player into his ears then pressed a button. God smacks� song, �alive� started playing. It was time to have some fun. He materialized his staff into his hand. �Let�s go.�

* * *

Kagome kept getting a nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach. She did not know what was causing it though. It had started out small, just a twinge of discomfort, but the more time that passed, the worse the feeling became. �What is it? Where is it coming from?�

Amanda was asking her another question; she needed to pay closer attention, so as not to worry the other woman. Kagome pushed a strand of hair that had come lose from her braid back behind her ear.

�I�m sorry, what was that?�

Amanda poured some of the steaming water from her kettle onto the tea bag in the cup. She drummed her fingers on the large bars countertop, waiting for the tea to start seeping. �I asked how you happened to meat Ash, if you don�t mind my asking.�

Marissa stopped coloring on the paper her mother had given her, eagerly looking up at Kagome, waiting for her answer. Kagome could feel both of them staring at her. It was a little unnerving.

�We met in the bar I work at, �The sanctuary�.� Kagome was not going to get into how they had met exactly. Let the other woman think what she wanted.

Amanda�s eyebrows rose slightly. �Hmm, yes, I know the place.� She wandered if Kagome had any idea what so ever, about the beings she was dealing with. She herself, at one point in time had been surrounded in the supernatural, but had not known it at the time. She smiled to herself; her life had been very sheltered, not to mention boring, before she had met her husband. Before Kyrian, she had even tried to deny herself her own abilities. �How do you like your tea?�

�Just plain thank�� Kagome�s sentence trailed off. The feeling she had been having was getting worse. She could feel her stomach tightening with apprehension. All of them needed to leave, now, as quickly as possible.

Kagome stood up from her seat quickly. The chairs legs scraping the floor as she did so. Amanda was looking at her in puzzlement.

�Wha . . .�

Kagome turned where she was standing, and then scooped Marissa up into her arms. �Come on Amanda! We need to get out of here! Fast!�

�What are you talking about? Why would we need to leave?� Amanda was just standing there, hands on her hips, confusion on her face. They did not have time for Kagome to explain the feeling, or why she was having it. She did not even know why she was having it. It was just there, Weighing heavily in her stomach, creeping its way up into her chest.

�No time to explain. Let�s go!� Kagome ran over to the pregnant woman, switched Marissa over to her left hip, then grabbed the pregnant woman hand and started dragging her from the room.

Amanda was surprised, Kagome might be little, but she was by no means weak. The pull on her arm was proof enough of that; the girl had almost pulled her off her feet to get her moving!

Why was she scared all of a sudden? Amanda could see it clearly on the young woman�s face. Maybe she could sense the Daimons Ash and her husband were dealing with. That had to be it, right?

Amanda started to protest them leaving. They had just cleared the kitchens doorframe, when the kitchen window at the front of the house shattered, sending fragments of glass flying everywhere.

Some kind of metal canister hit the floor, it made a clanking sound as it rolled to a stop on the tiled floor. Amanda gasped loudly, any protests she might have made dieing on her lips.

Smoke started pouring from the canister in heavy waves, giving Amanda that last little push she needed to turn around and start moving on her own. Kagome had been pulling her on shear strength alone.

The large living room window shattered next, followed closely by the soft thud of another medal canister hitting the carpeted floor. �Cover your nose and mouth!� Kagome shouted. Marissa buried her face in Kagome�s neck and shoulder area, while Amanda covered her lower face with the sleeve of her shirt.

The gas was rushing to meet them from both ways. Kagomes eyes started burning and watering. �Close your eyes too! I�m not sure what this stuff is!� Kagome made the turn that would take them into the Foyer, then out the front door. What she found there was no surprise to her, the room was already starting to fill with the noxious smoke.

�What about you� You can�t cover your face while you�re holding onto the both of us.� Amanda clenched her eyes closed even tighter. She was starting to feel light headed, even with having her face covered. How were they all going to get out if none of them could see? �Hand me Marissa, at least them you�ll be abele to cover part of you�re face while we run.�

�Don�t worry about it; we�re almost to the front door anyway.� Kagome didn�t want to waist the time it would take to switch the little girl off. She also did not want Marissa�s face exposed to the gas. She could not imagine putting the little girl through that if she didn�t have to. �Marissa sweetie, hold your breath okay.� She felt the little girl nod her head in agreement. Kagome was starting to have trouble breathing, and her eyes were burning and watering. She�d have to suffer through until they made it to the door.

They were going to have to pass through the large cloud of smoke, currently filling the foyer, in order to reach the front door. She held the half breath she had taken in, as they made a break for the door. She could not see at all, and her face was starting to burn, as if she had been out in the sun way to long. Where was the blasted door? She felt as if she had been running forever, with no sing of the door or even the wall. Had she veered off track? Even if she had, wouldn�t she have run into something by now?

�There!�

Amanda ran into her, not expecting to stop so suddenly. Kagome�s arm, which she had been holding out in front of herself, buckled. Her stomach hit the door handle hard, knocking the breath she had been holding out of her.

�Sorry,� Amanda�s voice was muffled. Kagome gave Amanda�s hand a tight squeeze, before hurriedly letting it go. She grabbed for the door handle, struggling not to panic when she had to feel around for it and straining not to take in a deep breath. A hard thing to do, when the natural reaction to having the wind knocked out of you, is to gasp for breath.

The door came open with no troubles, once the handle was found. Kagome reached back for Amanda, then pulled them all threw the open doorway, gasping for breath greedily the second her face touched fresh air.

She still could not see threw the heavy tears leaking from her eyes, but she did feel it threw her hand when Amanda�s knees gave out. Oh gods! Had the pregnant woman taken in a lot of the gas? Had the poisonous gas seeped into their systems even with their faces covered?

�Amanda, are you alright?� Kagome could hear the frantic edge in her own words, even with her voice sounding coarse and raw, complements of the gas.

�Yes, I�m fine. Just got a little light headed. I need to sit for a minute that�s all.� Amanda looked to Marissa, who was just now moving from the crook of Kagome�s neck. �Are you alright Baby? You didn�t breath in any of that did you?�

�I�m okay mommy.� Thank gods above, Amanda thought with no small amount of relief. The relief was short lived though, once she saw her front yard.

Kagome set Marissa down gently, keeping a hand on her shoulder for a few seconds just incase she had breathed in any of the gas. Marissa seemed fine. �Go sit with your mommy sweetie.�

�Okay,� Marissa went straight to her mother, who like Kagome, also noticed they were not alone. As soon as the little girl got within touching distance of her mother, Amanda pulled her into her arms, covering as much of her little girls body as she could with her own.

Second A/N: I know, I know. . . I�m evil leaving you guys at a cliffy like that. -Insert evil cackle here- I just cannot seem to help it though. . . Besides, a little suspense is good for the mind.
OK, I know this might be a little different but . . . here it is.
My Birthday is this month, and I have decided to post chapter fifteen of this story on that day, in order to celebrate. Now this is what I want from you the readers -if you would be so kind as to indulge me- I would like you guys to guess which day of this month my B-day lands on!
I know, I�m weird. At lest that�s what my husband and kids tell me. ^_^
