filler chapter, to explain the next few ones. I don't have a lot of filler's in my story, so after
this, it's more action and more story! Enjoy!
Chapter 4: Be Strong!
Sesshomaru and Omoi, continued their walk, through the countryside, seeking out the priestess,
who had turned, InuYasha and the rest, to stone. Sesshomaru, kept looking at Omoi, looking him
up and down, and then sighing.
"There something wrong?" Omoi asked, bluntly, turning an eye to Sesshomaru.
"Well...I...," Sesshomaru began, but got flustered, "...how...how did you become so strong...and
confident?"
Omoi, stopped and looked at Sesshomaru.
"...I mean...," Sesshomaru, stuttered, getting more flustered, "...you seem to know what you're
doing...and you aren't scared of Demons or anything..."
Omoi, looked at Sesshomaru, and gave him a smirk.
"I became strong...," he explained, turning his body to face Sesshomaru. His black and white
kimono, sailed, as he moved, "...is because I didn't back down and I kept my head up! I worked
hard, everyday...perfecting my fighting...and so can you!"
Sesshomaru looked at Omoi and hung his head.
"I've tried...," Sesshomaru said, sounding defeated, "...but I can't keep up with InuYasha or
anyone else...I'm too weak..."
"You are not weak!" Omoi, grunted, pulling Sesshomaru's head up, to lock onto his face, "you
can be strong, if you don't quit, so easily!"
"I can?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Yes...," Omoi said, smirking again, "...maybe we should postpone our adventure to save your
friends, in order for you to become stronger...you can't fight demons, if you aren't strong...
correct?"
Sesshomaru, looked at Omoi and smiled.
"Thank you!"
The two, continued walking, as the sun, began to set, behind the mountains.

After a few hours, they came to a small village, where they took the chance to rest, for a while.
"I shall teach you, tomorrow," Omoi said, as he fell onto the bed, that was laid out for him,
"then, the day after, we shall resume our journey!"
"Ok...thank you...," Sesshomaru, thanked Omoi, "do you think my friends, will be ok?"
"Yes...," Omoi said, without much thought, "I've seen such petrification spells, like the one that
woman used, before...I know how it works."
"Then...doesn't that mean...," Sesshomaru gasped, jumping up, "...that you know how to fix
them?"
"Not necessarily," Omoi said, "I've seen it done, but that was a long time ago...things have
changed. She seems to do things differently then what I've seen, before!"
"So, what do we do?" Sesshomaru asked, not looking satisfied.
"We can only follow the woman, and hope that we can kill her!"
"But first...you'll train me, right?"
"Yes...," Omoi agreed, "I'll help you become more then you are, now!"
"Hmmm...ok," Sesshomaru agreed. The two, took their places on their beds, and went to sleep.
I hope that he is ready to fight! Omoi thought, as he fell asleep.
The next morning, Omoi got up early, and was outside the gates of the town, when Sesshomaru
finally got up.
"Omoi?" Sesshomaru gasped, when he saw him, standing outside the gates, "why are you out
here?"
"I'm here to train you!" he said, turning around and walking away.
"Wa...wait!" Sesshomaru called, catching up with Omoi, "aren't we going to train on the village?"
"No," he said, not looking back at Sesshomaru, "there's somewhere close to here, that we can
train."
Sesshomaru, didn't say anymore. The two, walked quietly, as the sun began to shine brighter, as
it climbed over the mountains. They walked for almost an hour, and came to a large field. It was
almost open enough, to run forever.
"This is where we will train!" Omoi said, drawing his sword.
"What are you going to teach me?" Sesshomaru asked.
"I'm going to teach you, how to become strong and fight like a real demon!"
"Ok...," Sesshomaru, agreed, drawing his sword, as well.
"Now, fight!" Omoi said, without warning. He charged Sesshomaru.
"Huh?..." Sesshomaru gasped, without being able to think first.
"Hitanya style...Maka Shijo!" Omoi yelled. He swung his sword, and it disappeared.
"Huh?" Sesshomaru gasped. It appeared again, and slashed at Sesshomaru, coming up from the
ground.
"Ha!" Omoi shouted.
Sesshomaru, jumped backwards, but got cut, up in the chest. He fell over and hit the ground.
"You're too slow!" Omoi scolded, standing over Sesshomaru, "how can you defend yourself with
speed, like that?!"
"I've never really been much of a fighter...," Sesshomaru admitted, holding his wound, "I always
watched my brother, do all the fighting."
"Well, maybe it's time you put yourself in the fight, now!"
"How?"
"I'll show you a few pointers on how to fight...the rest will be up to you!"
Omoi and Sesshomaru, worked for hours, and Sesshomaru made slow progress.
"I think that's enough for now," Omoi said, putting his word away, "we'll see how you do, when
it comes to the real battle field!"
"Thank you...," Sesshomaru, thanked Omoi, "I feel stronger already!"
Omoi, stared at Sesshomaru and gave a faint grin.
"Let's continue our walk!" he said, his grin gone.
"Right!" Sesshomaru agreed, now with a smile on his face.
The two, walked on, while Sesshomaru, stood in back, moving his arms, trying to remember all
the techniques, that Omoi had taught him.
Omoi, looked back, and smiled.
You wil be strong, Sesshomaru..., Omoi praised, in his head, I guarentee it!
A/N: This is where the action picks up. Next chapter, Sesshomaru is sent into action.
