Kagome's New Quirk
Chapter 1: Something Bothering the Dog Demon
Inuyasha and Kagome have been married for almost 2 years now. However, something has displeased our dog demon to such a degree that he's been having sleepless nights and has been eating him up at day and so one of the occasional fights in Inuyasha's and Kagome's otherwise blissful marriage commences.
"Kagome?"
"Yes, Inuyasha?"
"You could train with me you know."
"Yes, yes I could, but you'd go easy on me. You're way too overprotective and that wouldn't serve the purpose at all."
"But-"
"I want to get stronger Inuyasha. I don't just want to rely on my spiritual powers. In actual combat they don't really come in handy. I want to be able to fight on an equal level with you and Sango and Miroku. I don't want you to be always trying to shield and protect me. I don't want to be the easiest target and the weakest link."
Inuyasha had been apprehensive at the start of the conversation, he had started to frown a while back and now he was incredulous and he could feel his temper being tugged at.
"You're NOT the weakest link! You are incredible with your archery and with your spiritual powers combined with it, no opponent stands a chance!"
"Yes but I need to concentrate for some while before I can locate the demon's central aura and fire the arrow. "
Inuyasha gave her an incredulous look, "Heck, you're probably the most powerful in our group. You stopped being a liability long ago!" "Anyway miko's aren't supposed to be fighting in the battle frontlines! And even if you were, you'd kick some serious ass with those sacred arrows." Inuyasha muttered grumpily.
"Aww, you flatter me." "But I want to get better. There's always room for improvement. I need it for close range combat"
His temper had flared into full fledged rage. He was angry. Incredibly so.
"Close range combat? You could just repel demons with your spiritual aura! Besides, do I look like a useless hunk of meat?" Kagome stepped back a bit from the sheer strength of his glare.
"Eh-heh… calm down Inuyasha, I didn't—"
"Kagome, you know that I'd never let anything happen to you!" Inuyasha was still glaring and frowning, but there was a hint of hurt and apprehension in his eyes.
After being married to him for a few years, Kagome had learnt to read the thoughts which Inuyasha being Inuyasha never spoke aloud. Inuyasha too had miraculously become more perceptive when it concerned Kagome, but as Miroku said; he could now be termed as slightly thick headed as opposed to phenomenally thick headed.
"I know that and its one of the reasons I love you. However, this is important to me for my peace of mind. Everybody is training to get stronger, I am training to become a better miko, but I also want to have the physical strength and skills which makes Sango a good fighter."
"But you don't have to be a fighter!"
"I want to be a reasonably good fighter. I want it to be a secondary strength to my spiritual powers. Inuyasha, please let me do this."
She didn't need Inuyasha's permission, but marriage meant taking into account your partner's feelings.
"Hmmph", was his only intelligible response. He grumbled some more before he finally burst out with, "Why does it have to be HIM?"
Kagome turned around, "Who? You mean onii-san?"
Inuyasha nearly dropped to the ground.
So, now we know what had been eating Inuyasha up and the reason for their argument…...
