Kagome slowly opened her eyes she half had expected Sesshomaru to have left in the early morning hours but he was still laying there asleep. A small sad smile formed on Kagome's lips,

~He looks so peaceful when he sleeps.~ Kagome staring at him,

"Miko, do you not possess any manners at all?" Sesshomaru coldly.

"I'm sorry, you just looked so peaceful," Kagome adverting her stare elsewhere.

"This Sesshomaru needs to teach you of swords, that half-breed will not protect you when you return," Sesshomaru explained. Kagome got out of bed with the blanket around her naked form, she looked through her father's clothes and found a rugged pair of pants and threw them on the bed, she found another pair or boxers and threw them at Sesshomaru, he started putting the boxers on, he started putting the boxers on, he looked at the holy pants in question, his concentration was lost when Kagome threw him a black tank top and hit him in the face with it, earning her a huff from Sesshomaru, she turned around,

"I know you aren't accustomed with such clothing but it will do while we duel," Kagome explained. Sesshomaru put the clothing on, Kagome left her mother's room and walked into her own. She sifted through her clothes and found some shorts and a light shirt. When Kagome finished changing she turned around to see Sesshomaru by the doorway,

"Well, you still manage to look attractive in those clothes, come on lets go do this," Kagome leading him down the stairs.

"When is this funeral thing," Sesshomaru asked,

"Its not till three this afternoon, it gives us some time, but I still have to clean up this kitchen also," Kagome explained. She led him to the backyard,

"Alright, so you going to give me a sword or what?" Kagome asked, Sesshomaru walked away and threw her a sword, being Kagome she tried to catch it but she was cut, Sesshomaru heard her curse under her breath, he came over and saw her hand bleeding, he gently licked her hand and it healed.

"Thank you," Kagome softly,

"This Sesshomaru will come at you easy till you learn," Sesshomaru strongly. Kagome nodded, the sword was a bit heavy for her, she held it with both hands, Sesshomaru started attacking her, she blocked him the best she could, Sesshomaru now realized he had to start from scratch with her. Slowly he sheathed his sword and walked over to Kagome,

"I am going to show you some blocks and some thrust," Sesshomaru standing behind her and taking his arms around her and putting his hands on hers, holding the sword. Two hours they practiced the blocks and thrusts,

"Sesshomaru, is there not any sword in your possession that is any lighter?" Kagome complained, Sesshomaru smirked,

"Such a sword does not exist, a light sword would only break in mere moments," Sesshomaru explained, Kagome thought of something,

"Lets go to town, we can walk to this store we are going to its not far," Kagome going inside the house and grabbing her purse. Sesshomaru waited for her outside,

"You will have to cover your markings for a little while," Sesshomaru heard Kagome scream as she ran into him, he had already hid his true form and now she stood peering into light blue eyes.

"Sorry," Kagome biting her bottom lip, Sesshomaru smirked as he smelt the hormones flare up inside her.

"Did you not get enough of this Sesshomaru last night?" Sesshomaru whispered in her ear, Kagome pushed him away knowing he was toying with her,

"You are a evil man," Kagome smirking,

"Correction, I am an evil demon," Sesshomaru smirking all evil. Kagome shook her head and led him to the store.

At the store

Kagome walked into the weapon store, she showed Sesshomaru the sword and held it in one hand, he started laughing his head off,

"That sword wouldn't do much damage, it would break in shards," Sesshomaru almost shouting. The store owner came over to him,

"I assure you my handiwork is not crap, this sword is light because it is made from Titanium metals, come I will show you it will withstand anything," the owner going outside. Sesshomaru wanted to see this, he followed the man outside and the man challenged Sesshomaru to a duel, Sesshomaru pulled his sword out and they went head to head. Sparks flew as the swords clanked together, they went head to head for 30 minutes straight. The owner stopped the duel,

"Satisfied?" the man asked, Sesshomaru took the sword into his hands after sheathing his own,

"There is no scratch on this sword," Sesshomaru cutting himself on the blade, he simply licked his cut,

"I'll take two," Kagome getting the man's attention,

"Of course," the man returning to the store. Kagome paid for the swords which were $500 a piece, she gave one to Sesshomaru,

"What is this miko?" Sesshomaru confused,

"It's a gift, something to remember me by and for being here with me," Kagome shrugged.

"Thank you Kagome," Sesshomaru seriously,

"Its no problem, so back to the training," Kagome walking back towards the shrine. Sesshomaru pondered,

~Maybe this Sesshomaru needs to get Kagome a gift.~ Sesshomaru smirked, he gently took her hand and walked with her back to the shrine.
