EMPHASIS
"When Winter Comes"
Chapter 6 – "First Battles"
Katsuki came running from the village with a look of terror. "I smell…I heard… Not NOW!"
"Ready to teach me, sister?"
"Not DURING battle!"
"That's too bad! It's now or never!" InuYasha yelled while grabbing Kagome and sprinting/hopping. "First Lesson: Speed!"
Kagome got the message and began running with InuYasha, from being behind him, to running with him, to surpassing him. They were face to face with the incarnation, Kagura, in a matter of seconds.
"What do you want Kagura!?" yelled InuYasha.
"I was sent to see who the aura was emitting from, and now I know. Now if you don't mind…"
"Oh know you don't! Wind Scar!"
Kagura just barely dodged the attack. "I was going to let you off easy, but I see now that won't happen! Dance of Blades!" she yelled. InuYasha had gotten out of the way and grabbed Kagome by her waist to move her. Kagome then heard Katsuki.
"Kagome! Use your spirit arrows! I know you remember those!
"Okay!" Kagome flicked her wrists and snapped her fingers. A glowing white bow with two arrows appeared. She stood in her stance, and shouted. "Spirit Arrows Go!" They ripped through the air creating streaks of white and they hit the fan Kagura was waving. "Consider that a warning!"
Kagura took the feather from her hair and transformed it to carry her back to Naraku's castle. "Another time!" She shouted. How did she do that! I have to get my heart back and this isn't making my problem any better! I'll have to find another way to get my heart back.
xXx Back with Kagome and Co. xXx
"Where the hell did that come from?!!?" InuYasha yelled.
"I remember teaching myself that power. A demon attacked the Fuyurashii village when my sister and I were barely old enough to talk or walk. We protected the women, and I called out it out of nowhere, instinct I guess. That's how the men of the village discovered us."
"You did great for only the second time one-san!"
"Thank Katsuki."
"What's wrong Kagome?"
"I missed my target. I haven't done that in a while."
InuYasha intervened at that point. "That took a lot of power I'm guessing, and you hit her fan!! How lucky is that!?!"
"It's alright one-san. You remember how much it takes. You'll learn. And did you see the speed you used to just get here?! You're almost as fast as me! And that was your first try!"
"I guess you two are right. I'm still in training." But when that is over Naraku is dead! Not only for hurting all those people but…
"What are you standing around for Kagome!? Come on! We're leaving!"
"Sorry!"
"Oh yeah! Katsuki, now that you're awake… IwanttoknowifIcouldhelptrainKagome?!" (InuYasha)
"I think you've already started anyway." (Katsuki)
"Alright! Watching was so boring!" (InuYasha)
"SIT!" (Who else)
xXx Next Day xXx
"Okay Kagome, try again."
"Alright… I'm kind of tired of aiming at tree trunks."
"Just try again."
"What ever…" She flicks and snaps. Arrows appear. "Spirit arrows… whoa! There's another arrow notched!"
"Congrats Kagome, you have reached the full potential… for level 2 of you priestess attacks."
"Only Level 2?!? Of how many?!?"
"Yes. Level 2. I have 5 levels of power known to me, and I suspect for you the same."
"Okay…"
"Are you going to shoot the arrows and improve your aim or just stand there?!?
"Spirit arrows Go!" Kagome yelled not bothering to answer directly.
"You ready to quit yet, onee-san?
"No."
"Good, because InuYasha is your next teacher."
"I am? I mean of course I am!"
"Alright, InuYasha. What will you be teaching me?"
"Self-Defense and offense."
"And just exactly how will you be doing that?"
"You're going to fight me… off of pure instinct."
(A/N I should stop there, but I promised a long chapter.)
"Really?" She replied cockily. "Then I guess I should start now." Kagome lunged at him, and slashed at his haroui. (A/N If you know what the shirt and pants are called that would help a lot!)
"You're holding back! Go full out!"
"I don't want…"
"How are you supposed to protect yourself if you're…"
"Shut… UP!" They were hand to hand fighting while talking until Kagome got aggravated and finally went full out. As they were slashing claws, her nails began to glow bright. InuYasha paused as he noticed this, only to be slashed on the face by a smiling Kagome who was showing her flashy white fangs at him. "Don't let your guard down, InuYasha." She taunted. She swiped at him again.
"Sorry to let it happen, trust me it won't again." He teased while dodging her glowing claws.
"Sorry InuYasha but, Kagome! Shout Ice Burn Reaper!"
"What'll happen?!?"
"Just shout it!"
Kagome swiped her claws as she shouted the words she was told. "Ice Burn Reaper!"
"what the… OWWW!!! Iron-reaper-soul-stealer!"
Kagome dodged the attack with ease, but InuYasha wasn't so lucky and went down quickly.
"It burns!"
"I'm so SORRY! I didn't know!"
"The pain!"
"don't worry about him, onne-san. It's a weak attack. Very basic and on Level 1" Katsuki explained.
"Well for only Level 1 it seems to cause a lot of pain for InuYasha." Kagome pointed out.
"Feh." InuYasha ignored the comment.
"Going on about the attack… It is merely to stun the opponent and then proceed with stronger attacks. Very basic attack, but on weak demons it will destroy them. You can also combine it with your miko powers."
"Thanks for explaining, it to me, Katsuki."
"No problem."
Kagome was now panting from the battle with InuYasha. "Can we quit now?!" She complained.
"Only if it's alright with your teacher!" Katsuki teased.
"Feh."
"I'm going to take that as a 'yes', go get Sango, and go to the hot spring."
"Alright, Kagome, but first I'm going to teach you how to heal the wound on your arm."
"You mean I was actually able to hit her!?!"
"SIT!!"…5 seconds later…
"I didn't mean it that way!!"
"Here they go again with their fighting…" Katsuki sweat-dropped.
"Well what way did you mean it?!?" Kagome yelled.
InuYasha had a look of fear on his face and was slowly backing away. "I meant that you're so good I could barely hit you!"
Kagome turned her attention to Katsuki and telepathically communicated with her.
(A/N Kagome thought Katsuki thought)
Teach me to heal now.
Now?!?
No. When I'm dead. YES NOW!
Why are getting so impatient?
Because I wanna beat the hell out of InuYasha.
Good reason. Okay. Focus your miko powers to all of your wounds…
Kagome closed her eyes in concentration and a pink light engulfed the wounds, but as soon as it appeared, it was gone.
"Thanks Katsuki… InuYasha."
"Y..Yea…" He replied shakily.
"I'll give you ½ mile head start… 321 GO"
InuYasha took off as soon as the "g" in "go" formed on Kagome's mouth.
"I lied… 321!" She started chasing after InuYasha.
"You know I didn't mean it that way!!!" InuYasha yelled back 100 yards, Kagome was advancing on him fast, and she smirked. Once they were far enough away from Katsuki she replied.
"The funny think is, InuYasha, is you still think I'm mad."
InuYasha stopped for ½ a second and Kagome pounced on him. "Never let your guard down, sensei."
Catching the hint, InuYasha flung Kagome into a tree. "Don't you know when to stop… wait your not tired… YOU HEALED YOURSELF!!! I'm in trouble.."
"That's right… I'm ready to learn more now." She said teasingly from a hiding spot near by.
"I see you've learned to mask your aura, Kagome, but I can still smell you!"
Kagome jumped from a high tree branch she was in and on to InuYasha, nailing him to the ground.
"What do I smell like?" She said seductively. InuYasha went red.
"Why would… I tell… you." He stammered.
"Because… You love me." She smiled. She got off InuYasha and he hopped up. When she went to walk away, InuYasha grabbed a hold of her waist.
"Vanilla and Jasmine, and who said you could walk away from me, I'm not…"
Kagome's lips crashed into InuYasha's before he could even speak another word. After a few seconds, she drew back and looked into InuYasha smoldering amber eyes. "Do you want to know what you smell like? … InuYasha?"
"…" He just stared into her icy eyes.
"What?!?"
"I love you."
Kagome went beat red. Sure they kissed, but InuYasha never told her that before, but then realizing she should respond, she relaxed, kissed him and spoke. "I love you too, InuYasha."
He just smile at her and then they heard Katsuki.
"I can follow your scents bakas! Hopefully you two aren't in pieces." She yelled.
"I guess next time I should work on masking both of our auras AND scents." Stated Kagome wearily. InuYasha caught it and swooped her off her feet and into his arms, picking her up bridal style.
"That would be smart." She said there would be a next time!
"Well, well, well. What do we have here. Stated a chilling voice.
Kagome went into full alert mode, using smell and sound. Then remembering her early battle with InuYasha, she hopped out of his arms.
"what…"
"Stay still." Kagome concentrated all of her power to her hands and then placed her hands on InuYasha's chest. The place of contact began glowing pink, and then all of his wounds flashed pink and then there wasn't a scratch on his body. He also felt his stamina increase. "I did it." Kagome said wearily and turned towards the area she sensed Katsuki and began communicating. Ger your butt over here faster!
Why?
We may need you.
For what?!
Naraku.
