Chapter 6
The Bow and Arrows
It was early the next morning and Kagome had been awake for most of the night. She had been up trying not forget what she had learned from Inuyasha yesterday. Memories of the practice played over and over in her head, but she soon found her self back on the subject of what to do with Inuyasha.
Kag(POV)
I know Inuyasha isn't the most patience person in the world but a Miko is...this is going to be a lot harder than I thought...
"Inuyasha", Kagome said softly trying not to wake the others.
"Huh?...what is it?", he said
"I think we should go ahead and get started...I know its early but if we start know we can stop sooner", Kagome had not planed on being outside teaching Inuyasha all day.
Inuyasha grabs the bow and the arrows and follows Kagome out the front door. They walked out into the cool morning air and headed for the clearing they practiced in the day before.
"This is going to be fun Inuyasha...I am so excited!!" said Kagome, "Are you?"
"Uh..yeah sure...if that's what you want to call it..."
Inu(POV)
...Excited she asks...no...me a Miko?...come on lets get real...the last thing I am right now is excited...about this...I really just want my body and my sword back...I never thought I would miss myself so much...although spending time with Kagome alone has been great, I never thought that I would have to do it like this...
Kagome just rolled her eyes she knew even before she asked that she wouldn't get the answer that she had wanted. Not realizing it they had finally reached the clearing.
"Well Inuyasha I have decided to let you pick what you want to learn first. We can either use the bow and arrows first or we can work on your Miko powers. You pick..." said Kagome
"Alright...lets practice with the bow and arrows first" he said
Inuyasha picks up the bow and readies an arrow. Kagome just watches because it seems to her that Inuyasha seems to have some idea about how use it. He aims for a tree and shoots. he misses.
"WHAT!!...HOW COULD I MISS...IT WENT STRAIGHT TOWARDS IT!!.."he yelled.
"Inuyasha calm down its ok...you can do it again...plus...your Miko powers allow you to guide your arrow. will your arrow to hit the tree and it will" Kagome said in a clam voice.
Inuyasha grabbed another arrow, aimed and hit the tree dead on.
"That was GREAT!!" Kagome said. She was thrilled that he had hit it the second time around.
"Ok if you feel good about that then we can move on" said Kagome. Inuyasha felt that Kagome was in a rush but didn't bother to ask why. He didn't really want to be outside doing this either.
"Yeah...I can practice more on my own later" he said "So whats next?"
"Give me one of your jewel shards from around your neck" Kagome said pointing at the bottle around his neck. He uncapped the bottle and handed one of the shards to Kagome.
"Ok...I will be right back" she said as she ran off behind one of the thickets. After about a minute or two Kagome reappeared and proceeded to tell Inuyasha about the second test.
"Ok...since your in my body...you are going to have to be the one to find the jewel shards. So I hidden the shard over there in that bush for you to find" she said as she pointed in the direction of the bush.
"Ok..."Inuyasha said as he walked over to the bush and began searching thought the bushes. Inuyasha was only making finding the jewel harder considering how small it was. He would never find it if he kept making a mess of the bush.
"Inuyasha...stop...I want you to just stand still" Kagome said. He stopped and just looked at her as if he were frozen in place.
"My body can feel the shard...tune in and feel the shard...its like feeling the the presence of something other than yourself...an energy apart from your own" Kagome said "And even if you can't feel its presence look for a glowing"
Inuyasha turned to look at the bushes. After about two minutes of concentration he picked up on the glowing
"I think I found it" he said
He reached down and could feel the tiny shard between his fingers. Now that the shard was close...he could even feel the energy that Kagome was talking about. He took the shard and placed it back in the little jar.
"Well that its...were done for today..."said Kagome "And you did so well...for a minute I didn't think that you were going to find it" she said"
"...I would have found it...even if it would have taken all day" he said with a smile. There was a pause between the two than Inuyasha decided to ask about Kagome's briefness.
"Why were you in such a rush today?"
"I have to go back..."she said. Kagome never liked bring up going home because it always usually turned things sour between Inuyasha and herself.
"There was a huge test that I was getting ready for when this little incident happened...I need to get my homework...and I need to study" she said with some worry to her voice.
"...Guess that means I have to go with you...since your not in your own body and all..." he said.
"Yeah...kinda need you to hang around" she said with a smile
"Alright...lets go then...its still early and maybe we will get back before the others even realize were gone" he said '
Kag(POV)
...we didn't even argue about me going home?!?!...wow...Inuyasha is changing...I don't know how much longer we should be under this spell...I don't want Inuyasha to lose himself because of this dumb spell...
Inuyasha and Kagome left the clearing and headed for the bone eater well. The well started to come into view. Kagome only wished that she could return home as herself, but that day would not be today. First Kagome jumps in then Inuyasha behind her.
