Chapter 3 Training

The training began the next morning as the sun rose in the sky. After breakfast Kagome went to the dojo to train in how to fight. The instructor Raykio was waiting for her.

"Kagome let us begin the training shall we. I will do a move and show you how to do it then you will do it I will then fix the mistakes and then you will do it again." Raykio said to her.

"You will keep on using the same move until you came do it perfectly. Fighting will become second nature so you do not have to think about how to do the moves you will just do them." He continued.

Raykio began the training by sliding in to a fighting posture. He would show her a move and then have her do it. She failed to do the move many time and was met with.

"Kagome that is not right."

"Kagome try again"

"Not as good as it should be."

She tried to use the same move over and over again. She did the move perfectly.

"That is good but do it again until you can do it without thinking." He said.

Kagome did the same move and until her muscles were sore. She said that she was tired and that she was sore.

"Kagome you wanted to learn how to fight so you have to take the training. If you can not take the training then you will be easily defeated in battle." He exclaimed.

He began again when he saw her bow her head.

"Kagome your sister lived with the training and so can you."

She trained like that until it was time for lunch. As she sat and ate lunch she began to dread the sword training. When she was finished she went to the dojo.

When she entered she saw that Raykio was in the middle of the dojo with two swords in his hands. One sword was bigger and broader then the other.

"Your training with swords now begins." Raykio said as Kagome made it to the center of the dojo.

"You will use this sword. It might be to heavy and if it is then you will have to get use to it then we can begin the real training."

Kagome tried to lift the sword. The sword was to heavy for her to lift off the ground with only one arm.

"Okay so you can not lift the sword with one hand so I what you to try to lift it with two hands and then let it down until it almost hit's the ground. Do not let it hit the ground. Stop and then lift it again then repeat it again." He said.

Kagome lifted the sword but could not stop it from fall to the floor. A nick was taking out of the floor.

"Kagome I want you to ran around the dojo twenty times"

"But why?"

"Kagome you have to listen to what I tell you to do and no more complaining I will make run twenty more if you do not stop whining. Begin again."

Kagome worked with the sword until supper with little mishap. She ate with great care because her muscles were all sore. When she was done she went back to the dojo. Mikono was there to greet her.

"Kagome I bet you are really sore and would like to stop the pain and if you do good at the training then I will relieve some of the pain but not all of it." She said as she went to get a bow and quiver of arrows off the wall.

"Now I want you to shoot these ten arrows and try to get as many bull's eyes as you can."

Kagome took the bow and quiver from her and went to stand in place. She shot all of the arrows and about all of them went near the bull's eye.

"Lets see how many. One, two, three, four that's about it. Four out of ten pretty good for a novice. You will have to do better then that. Now start again."

Kagome took the arrows out of the target and tried again. She got six out of ten before she had to go to bed.

"Kagome I want you get better and when you do we will move to moving targets. I will teach you how to use your powers an d the trade of a healer even the one that I will use now."

Mikono went to stand before Kagome and put her hands on her shoulders. Kagome felt like the pain was receding from her body until it was a dull ache. Kagome was sent to bed shortly after. As Kagome lay down she fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

The day after was of much the same. The days and night were the same until two months after the beginning of training. Kagome was learning at a good pace not to fast and not to slow. She was learning new move and getting testes on the ones she did know. She was now able to swing the sword with one hand. Raykio taught her sword moves also. Mikono had Kagome move to moving targets.

The training went the same until Kagome was fifteen. She was taught how to fight with staffs, daggers, bows, and swords. She was taught how to use her powers and how to heal. On the day of her birthday Raykio changed the training.

"You can now use a sword well but I want you to be able to use both hands to fight." He said. And so Kagome was trained to fight with both hands.

When Kagome turned sixteen she was meant to fight her instructors. She fought against Raykio with hand to hand combat. She blocked and struck with ease and won the fight with little damage to herself. Sword fighting was a little bit harder. They traded blow for blow until Kagome put the blade of her sword to Raykio throat.

She won the fight and was then tested by Mikono about all of the herbs and there uses. She had to shoot many different targets and was made to heal the wounded. She pasted all of the test giving to her.

"Kagome you have done very well in beating use but you must remember that there is always someone stronger then you are so you have to keep training and do your best to get better." Raykio said.

"I know that and I will keep on training. I want to fallow my sisters footsteps and become a wandering priestess." Kagome said as she bowed to her instructors.

"Very well we have nothing left to teach you. Go with are blessings. But please go in the morning." Mikono said.

The day passed and the night began. Kagome went to bed and woke up early. She went straight to the dojo. Mikono and Raykio were waiting for her. As she walked in to the center of the dojo she was spoke to by them.

"Kagome I want you have this armor and this bow and quiver. You already know how to make your own arrows. Take this pack within it holds herbs for cooking and healing and food for sometime." Mikono said as she gave her gifts.

Raykio came forward and gave Kagome a sword of her own and a necklace to put the Shikon jewel on it.

"Take care of yourself and be safe." Raykio said.

Kagome said her good byes to the villagers that she passed on the way out. Kilala walked beside her and transformed at the entrance of the village. Kagome took one look at the village and waved to the villagers then got on to Kilala and flew off in to the air far beyond the village.

She began her quest of strength and protecting the weak. She protected the jewel.

She began her path in life.
