The next day, all of them gathered in a line for their training assignments. Kumo, Jyuu, and X decided that training out in certain places distinct to their power would be best. Kumo took Kagome. Jyuu took Kikyo. Ren was with X. Kagome is often unfocused and not fit for battle. That's where Kumo's illusions come in handy. Jyuu's crystal-like powers come in handy for one such as Kikyo because it will keep her seeing her true reflection. X stayed with Ren because of her power. "Ok Ren this is a big battlefield, but I'm sure you can find what I'm looking for." She took out a piece of paper with a gold-handled rapier. "Now, this is called Leo. I want you to close your eyes and concentrate on calling him in your mind. Ask him where he is." Ren was nervous, but she did as told.
"Leo? Leo?" She called over and over again. After the fifth time of "Leo? Leo?" he answered. "What do you want?" He hissed. Ren gasped and opened her eyes. "Where are you?" She asked aloud. "Right now I'm a part of your soul in order to communicate. As for where I am, tell that idiot X that she should find me herself. I hate her training skills." "He won't tell me where he is X sensei." "Hm…" She thought for a moment. "Ok then close your eyes, lock onto his aura, and find him." She nodded happily and did so. She was a fast learner. "I found him! He's hidden under this rock." She tried to move it, but it was too heavy. X sat on another nearby rock shaking hands with a lifeless skeleton. "Come on. Oh!" She fell on her butt and laughed. X was more impressed every minute. She could only move it up a little bit, but Leo was able to get out just in time.
"Well you passed. The rest s up to you to learn." Ren blinked and suddenly she was at the village. "This is where Lord SHESHOMERU'S brother lives." Ren thought aloud and unknowingly, she had Leo in her hand. "Young girl! Where is Kagome?" Kikyo's sister demanded full of worry. "She is with your sister. How do I get out of here, and where do you go Leo san?" Ah-Un appeared and licked her cheek. "Haha. I'm back girl. I'm sorry to trouble you. Can you take me to where the Great Blood War was?" She felt bad to ask, but Ah-Un didn't mind at all. "That's a dangerous place to go. Let us escort you." Sango told her. "I am not that much of a child. I already have escorts anyway. Thank you kindly though." She was about to take off when she heard Kikyo call out, "Wait young girl. I also must go there." She was panting and out-of-breath. "Kikyo…" Inuyasha breathed. She was still as beautiful.
"Ok Kikyo san if it's ok with Ah-Un." She nodded. "Have room for one more?" Kagome laughed and ran up to them. "Wow your bow's as long as you now." Ren said amazed. "Apparently, unless it's in this world/dimension, it's small. Your bow, where is it Kikyo?" "Ah, it turns into a tiny skull 'choker'?" The three went off together and the Inuyasha gang followed. Waiting for them was X and her minions. "Welcome all. Sorry, but this only involves the six of us so you'll have to sit on the benches I made out of the bones of the unburied dead here. Let's face off. Kikyo, you and Jyuu are first." She watched as they stood face-to-face. "Don't hold back." "Yes I'm well aware. After this wills it all be over?" "Yes. The priestesses will come to kill us, plain and simple. Do not hold back."
