Anyways here is "Trial of the Bow Blade"
Chapter 1: (The Bow-Blade Legend)
The Bow-Blade is the most mythical weapon known to man. The legend states that a warrior of pure divine light can be able to wield it. Many have tried to use it but later have failed and lost their lives. When people saw the sheer power that the Bow-Blade brings, they have locked it away deep in the mountains never to be found. But some people still believe that there is a warrior of pure heart and soul that can master this weapon. And so the Bow-Blade waits deep within the mountains for a master to claim it. Rumors state that the weapon is still hidden within the mountains today in what is now known as today Mount Fuji.
(Kagome's POV) – Kagome's time
"I wonder if Lady Kaede knows about this legend. It would be a shocker if the legend is true." I went back to my time for not only for testing but physical check-ups as well. During my physical check-up the nurse told me that I had lost some weight, that now I'm about 5 kilograms underweight. She asked me if there were any changes at home that would explain me being underweight. I wanted to tell her the truth. But how could I explain myself that I've traveled to the feudal era from time to time. So I replied with just a simple no. The nurse was still worried about my weight and urged me to eat to regain my weight. But hey being in the feudal era and traveling from place to place is an excellent exercise. Although getting very little to eat was the drawback of the matter. Even though, the nurse was pretty concerned for my current health, she told me to take it easy until I'm at the proper weight for me. After all my exams I did my usual routine with a surprising result. I was able to take along my textbooks with me which never happens. Let's just hope that I don't lose them like last time. After I said my goodbyes to my family I went down the Bone Eater's well to the Feudal era.
(Feudal era)
When I arrived to the feudal era I had to go a bit slower than my usual pace to conserve my energy. I came to Kaede's hut with everybody there and explained to them about my current condition that I'm in. Some of their reactions were a bit mixed than I had originally expected. Miroku for once was actually quiet. Inuyasha couldn't find any words to respond. Shippo cling on to me and was crying. Sango took on sisterly role for me.
She came up to me and asks "Are you sure you need to be traveling with us in your condition?" I reassured her that I'm all right. But she insisted that I should stay close to her for my personal health.
Inuyasha was about to eat when he heard about my condition. He generously me a portion of his meal. That was a side of him that I rarely see. "Here eat up. You need it to regain your strength and your weight." He gestured the bowl of food to me.
"Are you sure? Don't you need it?" I asked him. Inuyasha nodded his head no "You needed it more. Besides you said yourself that you're underweight and that you need the weight gain"
What Inuyasha said hit it hard for me that I started crying then Sango came to comfort me "Kagome, What's the matter?" She sounded concerned I assured her "It's ok Sango. I never guessed that Inuyasha would be willing to give up his meal for me."
"Kagome don't worry about it. Your health needs some attention NOW. Besides I can o.k. with eating small portions for now." Inuyasha giving me encouraging boost. "Until you're in better condition we can carry on. But for now we need to stay here and make sure you're in physical condition to travel."
"Thank you Inuyasha for thinking about my current condition." I smiled at him. "But I'll be ok just slower than usual. And I still well able to travel along with you guys. But if it's alright with I'd like to talk to Kaede for a moment." Acknowledging my request they left me alone with Kaede.
"What is it child? Is something bothering you?" She asked me. I was nervous about asking about the legend I read about. "Kagome, is something the matter? Is it about your personal health?"
"No it isn't Kaede. But it's about this." I pull out the Legend of the Bow-Blade out of my backpack and showed it to her. "I read about this legend before I came here. It's about this weapon called the "Bow-Blade. Dose this ring any bells Kaede?" When I mention it I saw Kaede with a shocked look on her face.
"Kagome that weapon is the most dangerous known around the land. It's so dangerous that even the demon slayers can't even master wielding it. Some people are even too scared to get even near the weapon. Why do you ask of that?" I was so nervous to tell Kaede about my reason showing her this legend. So I had to make-up a quick cover up.
"It's nothing, I was doing some studying back in my time during my exams and stumbled up this legend. I just wanted to bring it up to you. The main reason is that the legend says that the bow-blade is hidden away in the mountains. Is that true?" I asked her with my nerves being shot sky-high. "So is it true about what they say about the bow-blade? That it's most mythical weapon ever known to mankind and that people lost their lives trying to weld it?" My nerves were at an all time high when I asked her.
"Yes Kagome, the legend of the bow blade is true. The bow-blade is the most amazing but the most dangerous weapon one of all. But one question Kagome. What are you ask about this information?" She asked me. I felt my muscles tightening up. I just couldn't get the words to come out. "But Kagome it's better to believe that the bow-blade is just a legend. I don't want you to risk your life to find this weapon." She had a very stern look on her face. "Kagome, are you o.k.?"
I quickly snapped out of my dazed to reply to her. "Huh. Oh. It's nothing Kaede. I'm just feeling a bit tired. I just need to rest up for tomorrow" She said good night to me as I went to bed. I wonder why she told me that I'm better to believe that the bow-blade is just a legend. It seems like she is trying to hide the truth from me. Maybe it's the nature of the weapon that makes it dangerous. I better get a good rest to clear my mind.
A/N: I'm reposting this because I made many errors in my first attempt. So I had to make some small changes to the fan-fiction,
Please review and give some feedback in ways to improve in future chapters.
