A/N: Hello. Okay so this is the other story I was telling you guys about. I give full credit to Chii-Chan-18 for the plot! I don't want anything about plagiarism in any of the reviews, and if it becomes that much of a problem I will delete this story. Although I only got the PLOT from him, and the part were he runs into her at the hot springs in this chapter. That's all. The rest I put together by myself. Also, this may not be very good because I wrote it a few months ago and I am not even re-reading it again. I am just gonna post it and see how you all react. Now thank you very much and Happy reading!
Summary- When Kagome is betrayed by Inuyasha and wants revenge, she has to be trained by the band of seven. She seems to be falling for that oh-so-hot mercenary. Will she become a great warrior and get her revenge, or will it all just be too much for her?

Kagome was overjoyed! Inuyasha had just told her that he had chosen who he would be with. And it was…… her!
She was skipping around the village happy as ever, when she heard something… a scream?
She gasped, it sounded like someone was in trouble. She ran to where she heard it only to find Inuyasha… and Kikyo.
Tears rolled down her cheeks at the sight before her. They were mating. Inuyasha was such a bastard! How could he have done this to her?
Kagome walked away sadly. When she got far enough into the forest she fell to her knees and began crying her eyes out. Why would he do something like this? She could never trust him again.
"Do you want to get back at him?" A strong female voice sounded from the trees.
"Wh-who's there?!" Kagome asked, a little scared, but tried to put on her fake-strong voice.
"Calm down girl, I am not here to harm you." Kagura appeared out of the trees.
"What did you say before? Something about getting back at Inuyasha?" She asked curiously. So she had seen also.
"Yes. If you want to get back at the bastard, I can arrange it." Kagura said.
"Why would you care about me?" Kagome asked.
"I don't, it's Inuyasha I hate. I know how much it would pain him to once again be attacked by the one he loved." Kagura said back.
"Why would you hate Inuyasha? I thought Naraku was your enemy?" Kagome asked curiously.
"If you must know, it is not him, but Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's idiot brother. I told him of my feelings toward him, and he called me a worthless bitch unworthy of 'this Sesshomaru'. I wish to get back at Inuyasha if anything." Kagura explained, a twinkle of sadness in her emotionless eyes.
Kagome ran over to Kagura and embraced her. "Oh Kagura! I'm so sorry." Kagome said sincerely. Even though Kagura was… or used to be… her enemy, she was naturally kind-hearted.
Kagura was shocked at her strong affection towards her enemy, but allowed her to embrace her.
"As you see, we share the same sadness, and have both been betrayed by the one we loved. I would like you to come with me to a nearby castle, were you will be trained to get revenge." Kagura said as Kagome ended the hug.
"But Kagura, what about Naraku? He will surely try to kill me!" Kagome objected.
Kagura laughed. "Naraku is dead. He was defeated by the band of seven and myself. We managed to spare the parts of him that belonged to myself and Kanna. He will be no bother to us." Kagura said smiling.
"Oh, I see, and who exactly will be training me?" Kagome asked.
"I will arrange for the band of seven to train you." Kagura stated plainly.
"How would they agree to such a thing? They barely know me… and I wouldn't doubt there trying to kill me.
"Without me, Naraku would not have been able to be defeated. Therefore, they have agreed to do me one favor. They were also Naraku's slaves, and with Naraku still alive, weren't totally free. Training you will be my one favor." Kagura stated.
"Okay, are you sure this is going to work out?" Kagome asked suspiciously.
"I would not have asked if I had any doubts." She said and pulled out her feather.
They both got on it and headed towards the castle.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
Once they got to the castle, Kagura explained everything as she led Kagome to her room.
"Training will start tomorrow, it is late. Your trainers will be Bankotsu, Jakotsu, Renkotsu, and Suikotsu. The rest died during the battle with Naraku. I will not be present during your training; I am leaving tomorrow to take care of some business. Therefore, Kanna, Bankotsu, Jakotsu, Renkotsu, Suikotsu, and yourself will be the only ones in the castle. You are to call upon Kanna if you have any problems." Kagura explained.
"Thank you, I understand." Kagome said.
"Also, Kagome you cannot expect common courtesy from the band. They will most likely verbally abuse you, but I have strictly told them not to physically injure you. There are quite cocky and immature. I will be back before you finish your training. I am not certain how long it will take, but the band of seven will inform Kanna when you are ready." Kagura said.
"I see. So they know that it is me they will be training?" Kagome asked.
"No, I have just informed them that they will be training someone for me. You should introduce yourself. Training will begin tomorrow morning at 8. Kanna will awake you. Here is your room. I wish you the best of luck Kagome. If you wish for a bath, the springs are a few minutes north outside your room." Kagura said then headed down the hall.
Kagome sighed then sat on the fine furs and covers of the bed. It was about 11:00pm. "Well, I might as well get a bath. It will probably calm me down a bit and my uniform needs to be washed anyway. Plus I don't want to stink in front of them. They won't hesitate to tell me." Kagome said as she headed towards the springs.
When she got there she found a small boiling spring awaiting her. She slowly got undressed. She was so caught up in her own thoughts that she didn't notice the other being near her.
She turned to see a darkened quite manly figure standing before and… a braid? Definitely Bankotsu. She gasped and prepared to scream when a hand was placed over her mouth and she was held back from going anywhere.
She struggled violently, and finally resorted to biting his hand. "Ow!" He yelped and scooted back shaking his hand.
"You PERVERT! Can't you see I'm naked!? Get away from me!" She said and pushed him into the water fully clothed.
Then she ran back to her room angrily. How could he peep on me like that? That stupid mercenary! Just then she realized just what she had done.
'Oh crap! I just pushed a bloodthirsty mercenary into a boiling hot spring! I am so screwed tomorrow! But Kagura said they wouldn't do anything to me, right? Oh well, I better get some sleep. Tomorrow won't be easy.'
She was waken early that morning by Kanna, five minutes before 8. "Your trainers await you." She said.
Kagome got up and followed Kanna nervously.
-With the band of seven before Kagome arrived-
"So any of y'all have a clue who this trainee of ours will be?" Bankotsu asked.
"I hope he's sexy!" Jakotsu shouted cheerfully.
Renkotsu stood there looking into the distance, Jakotsu was staring into the sky daydreaming, while Bankotsu and Suikotsu were polishing there weapons. Bankotsu his Banryu, and Suikotsu his claws.
Kagome followed Kanna into the clearing and saw the Band of Seven waiting for her. She gulped hoping everything would be okay.
Kanna turned to her. "I will leave you now, good luck" Kanna said in her emotionless voice and left Kagome alone with the killers.
"You're are trainee?!" Jakotsu pouted. "Stupid wench." Jakotsu mumbled.
"Well, well, well, look who it is!" Bankotsu smirked.
"Hey my name isn't 'stupid wench' it's Kagome!" She yelled at Jakotsu.
Jakotsu grabbed his Jakotsutou and glared at her.
Kagome grabbed all her courage and spoke fearlessly, even though it was extremely hard.
"Hah! You can't kill me!" She retorted crossing her arms.
"She's right Jakotsu, we can't. Kagura's orders." Renkotsu said. Jakotsu huffed angrily and put his sword back.
Bankotsu noticed Kagome looking at the barrel of violent weapons on the side of the clearing.
"You're not scared, are you?" He teased and went right up in her face.
She screamed and fell on her butt.
Bankotsu laughed. Kagome noticed she was okay and defended herself.
"Shut up! Your mean, stupid killer! I wasn't scared you just, uh, startled me." She said angrily.
"Sure" Bankotsu smirked.
How was she not supposed to be scared? I mean she was with 4 mercenaries who could kill her at any second, and a barrel of dangerous and torturous weapons.
"You should really watch out how you sit, I can see right up your kimono! I get pretty aggressive when I'm horny," He laughed and so did the others.
"YOU PERVERT! Don't look there!" She said closing her legs tightly and standing up.
"Are you gonna train me or what?!" She said angrily.
"Okay, okay." He said calming down from a laughing spree. "Show me whatcha got wench." He said waiting for her to respond.
Kagome blushed. She forgot how suckish her fighting skills were. They were gonna give her hell about it too.
Bankotsu smiled and grabbed a sword from the barrel and walked over to her. "Here" He said and put the sword in her hand. "Now swing." He said and backed off.
She struggled to hold up the sword at all and when she swung it was a catastrophe waiting to happen.
She swung the sword, intending for it to stop at her lower right half, but it ended up going all around her body, and dragging her with it. She fell on her butt, yet again, and sighed, putting the sword the right of her on the ground.
And, of course, everyone started laughing at her. Bankotsu had intentionally given her a 50 pound sword, just to see her make a fool of herself.
Then she started crying, more like bawling her eyes out. She really was hopeless.
When Bankotsu saw this, he felt kinda bad; he didn't mean to make her cry. He bent down on one knee so he was face level with her.
"Aww, come on now, don't cry. I didn't mean it like that." He said gently, putting a hand on her shoulder.
She pushed him off. "Get away from me, I hate you!" She said and continued sobbing.
"It's not my fault, okay! I've never done this before; I'm not strong like you!" She said in between sobs.
"I know, I was just kidding around, come on lets give it another try, whaddya say?" He said trying to make her feel better.
She wiped her eyes and he helped her up. "Here, why don't you try something a little lighter, we can build up your strength by time." He went over and got a light 10 pound sword and handed it to her.
She took it and examined it, then waited for instructions.
"Okay, every day you will be trained. From 7-8, our morning meal will take place, and from 8-11 you will be trained by Jakotsu, 11-2 by Renkotsu, 2-3 we'll have our midday meal, 3-6 by Suikotsu,6-7 we'll have our evening meal, and 7-12 by me, and after that you will sleep or bathe or whatever."
"Jakotsu will teach you swordsmanship, Renkotsu will teach you how to use other weapons as cannons, Suikotsu will teach you endurance and agility, and I'll teach you everything else you need to know. Every 6 days you will get a break to rest." Bankotsu explained.
She would have alone time with every member, and she had a heck of a lot of training to go through. Heck, this was worse than school! But, it might just be fun…
"How come I have two extra hours with you?" She asked curiously.
"Because I have more to teach you then the others." He said, and then walked off, followed by Renkotsu and Suikotsu. She had almost forgotten, Jakotsu was first to teach her.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
