Last time:

"I shall carry her to the miko Kaede," Sesshomaru stated.


Chapter 3 - Warnings

"I shall carry her to the miko Kaede," Sesshomaru stated. "Rin, climb atop Ah-Uhn."

Inuyasha growled but then realized that it was no longer his place seeing as how he now had Kikyou to look after. "You better not let her get hurt."

Sesshomaru rose an eyebrow before walking through a rather large hole in the wall and lifting to the sky. Sango, Miroku, and Shippou all climbed atop of Kirara and they, too, took to the sky. Rin had followed shortly after with Ah-Uhn and Jakken. Inuyasha simply lifted Kikyou onto his back and jumped out of the hole, causing her to scream as they fell through the air. He had forgotten that the castle was built on top of a mountain. Oh well, might as well have a bit of fun.

She gripped onto him tightly as they raced down the side of the mountain, followed quickly by Ayame and Kouga. They were all, soon headed toward the village of Edo.


"So, I forget, why am I here again?" Kagome asked.

"Because I must train you. I told you that I had come to warn you and that I had gifts for you all." The dark haired woman replied.

"So, tell me, again, why am I here?" She asked, out of breath as she did a back flip away from Midoriko's outstretched hands.

"There is a war that is on the way. Many are still going to be seeking the jewel's power," Midoriko replied. "There are going to be countless demons, and even worse demons from when you battled Naraku. Naraku isn't nearly half as bad as these. They will try to manipulate you, force you into things you don't wish to do, and even disguise themselves as your friends. You must be careful."

"How long will it be before the battle?" She asked.

"Exactly two months from now," Midoriko said.

"Okay, so how long is that in the waking world?"

Midoriko looked at her before saying, "half a month."

"You mean only two weeks?" Kagome exclaimed. "How long have I been out?" She nearly shouted.

"For two and a half weeks now," Midoriko said.

"Two and a half!" Kagome said astonished. "Why?"

"I had to train you," Midoriko replied calmly, "besides, it would be best if you were unconscious for the transformation your body is taking on."

"What kind of transformation?" She asked.

"Well, you are going to be a shape shifter, so I guess you can take on any form you wish. You will have to ask Shippou to help train you a bit, even if he, himself, doesn't know much, on how to shift forms."

"I'm going to be a shape shifter?" Kagome asked aloud to herself. "Wow, I admit, I never saw that coming."

"That's not all, sweet heart," Midoriko said. "You are going to be a major mix. You will still have your miko abilities, as well as every single youkai in the world. You will have the magic of a sorcerer and the skills of a warrior. You might need to ask Sesshomaru if he can train you as well in some abilities that you may find useful."

"So…what kind of tricks can I do?" Kagome asked curiously.

"You can impersonate others, if that is what you mean by tricks," Midoriko said with a smile when she saw a huge grin cross Kagome's face.

"Oh, this is going to be fun," she said.

"Tis now time for you to wake, Kagome, every time you sleep, I shall be there to help train both your mind and your body."

Kagome didn't reply because everything had suddenly gotten darker and much louder.


Okay, this chapter felt like a throw-in chapter, but it gets better! I swear it does! Don't forget to review!
