"Alright, to begin our lesson, we shall first focus our spirit energy on one specific thing in our minds. It can be anything, from a book you like, to your favorite thing in the world, just close your eyes and think of it." Several children closed their eyes and Kagome smiled as they smiled; indicating that they were fully focused. "Alright, now, imagine something evil has come to harm this precious thing. Imagine that the only one that can protect your important thing, is you." The children narrowed their brows.
"Good, now raise you bow and as you release your arrow, imagine that it is going to defeat the evil and that it will protect your precious item. Now...1, 2, 3 release!" Kagome smiled with pride, as all her students hit the bulls-eye mark right in the center. "Alright! Open your eyes and see how you all have done." The children opened their eyes and couldn't believe that they had fired an arrow for the first time ever with their eyes closed and had actually hit the center mark.
"Wow! Sensei! You are an amazing teacher!" They all exclaimed, and huddled around Kagome. "Thank you, now, would you like to try it again? Or would you like to know how to purify and heal?" Half wanted to do the arrow trick again, and the other half wanted to learn how to purify evil and heal the wounded. So Kagome called Miroku in, from his free time, due to Sango taking the children of her class and his on a field trip to the mountains. "I still don't think I'll be of much help..." "Oh, you'll be fine. They know the basics, but there were some that were slightly off the mark;not by much, but slightly. Enough that if in a battle they could get badly hurt." "Alright...so what do I..." "Just tell them to keep focused on their special item and to make sure that they saved their item without fail. Really, you need to just keep coaching them and encouraging them to focus harder." "Oh, okay...I guess I can do that..." "Speak softly and make sure that you have that soft and gentle voice, remember they are only children. So any mistakes and just get them to keep at it and make sure they know that they haven't failed, they just need to keep going." Miroku nodded, "K, I think I can handle that." "Good, thank you so much." Kagome said and turned to the other children "Alright, lets go find something evil to purify."
Kagome led the children down to where another class was supposed to be being held, but there were of course no students within the classroom. "What's this room Sensei?" "This is the realm of an evil being, so evil that even hell threw him back." The children looked scared, "Oh, but you needn't worry. Fore if he tries to harm us, I will make sure he regrets it. Now, lets go say hello, shall we?" "K." Kagome opened the door and quickly ushered the children inside. "I don't like this aura...sensei." "Hm, neither do...hm? Children stay here and do not move from this spot, understand. I will return in a moment." "K." Kagome hurried off in the direction that she'd heard a woman scream.
"Shut up! No one can here you and even if they did, no one person in this place can rescue you." "Let me go! You bastard!" A woman with shoulder length light brown hair shouted as she tried to escape Naraku's grasp. "You have no where to run, dear Farina. Remember, this is my domain at this present time, and I control everything within this room...soon even you will be under my control." "No! Uh...no! Let me go!" "Do not fight it, Farina, if you fight it hurts far worse." He moved his face closer to her's and just as his lips were about to touch her's he heard voices. "Hm? Children? what are children doing here during this time? this room is closed to children for the..." "Ah,ha. Thought you'd be behind something like the scream of this woman." Kagome stated as she appeared and glared at Naraku.
"Ah, I see, so are you the reason for there being children within?" "I am, actually. I brought them to see what pure evil looks like in human form." "Ha, ha." "I am not joking. Do you see me laughing?" "..." "Let the gilr go, now. Or should I turn you in to your superiors?" "..." "In other words, my boyfriend, the headmaster of this school." "You...Grr! fine!" Naraku grabbed the girl, Farina and tossed her over to Kagome. "Are you alright?" "Yes, I'm fine, thank you." "Your welcome. Now, hurry and go, alright." Farina nodded and hurried out. "Let the children know that I shall be there in a moment...huk! Ah!" Kagome felt a hand around her throat and felt her breathing begin to tighten. "You know, you are a fucking thorn in my throat." Naraku sneered, and tightened his grip on her.
"Alright, you have all progressed with you bows and have the right know how to fight if need be." Miroku said to the children as class was ending. "Class is now dismissed, please head to your next ones...hm?" The other children that had went with Kagome returned with another girl. "Children, where is Kagome?" "Children, hurry and head out." "Farina, why are you bringing the children back?" "Miroku...Kagome...she saved me from becoming one of Naraku's pawns." "Naraku...where is she now?" "She said she would be right out to gather the children, but she never came out of the back room." "...Alright, take the children and make sure they get to their dorms and classes." "Alright...where are you going?" "I'm going to find out if Kagome is alright or not." "Oh, of course." Miroku hurried off to Naraku's classroom.
Within another room, Kagome lay, chained to a rather soft bed, and was starting to awake. "Agh...hm...what! Where am I?" She shrieked, freaking out, when she noticed the chains upon her wrists. She struggled to move, but couldn't. "GRRR! Naraku! god dammit! Where the hell have you taken me!" "Hush now, Kagome, a priestess must never take the lord's name in vain..." "That's only if I practice that faith asshole! Unchain me! Now!" "No, I don't think so." "Geez! Why wont you take a damn hint! I do not want anything from you anymore! I don't like you, never have and never will!" "Do you want to know my secret to staying alive?" "...no...just let me go." "I'll tell you anyway, since it was part of our arrangement 400 years ago." "I don't want to..." "Akago." "...Akago? I thought the infant's name was Hakudoshi?" "It is, or was. Akago was the other infant born at the same time, Hakudoshi's twin." "Twin...how is a child your...oh! That's it!" "Hm? What?" "Nothing, and please, we've already learned that your secret is that you no longer house you human heart." "Smart aren't you." "Ah, so let me guess, the heart that was once yours; the very thing that can kill you...is within Akago, Hakudoshi's twin."
Naraku looked at her and glared "You're smarted then most would give you credit for." "I'll take the compliment. Now let me go...ugh! Get off me!" "You discovered my secret, so now...I shall once again discover your body...but first...heh." Naraku touched her tummy and smirked "What?" "You are with child." "I'm what!" "Question is, who's child is it to be?" "...What do you mean..." "Remember, the other night?" Kagome shuddered "I see you do. Anyway, the unborn could possibly belong to Inuyasha or even myself..." "...get off me." "Now, now. You needn't worry, fore since you are with child, I shall leave you alone." Narkau unlocked the padlock, linking the chains together "Now, your monk friend is headed here and I will like not to be here when he arrives...ARGH!" "Too bad." Kagome said after smashing him in the head with the night side table lamp. She quickly tied him up with his own chains and waited for Miroku to get to her.
"Kagome!" "Finally. Are the children alright?" "Yes, Farina made sure they got back to class safely." "That's good." "Ah...so you seem to have everything under control..." he said, gesturing to Naraku who was still tied up and glaring at the two. "Oh yes, I have everything perfectly under control. However, Inuyasha is returning this evening and I need to be one of the first ones to greet him." "Naturally. So...things have been going well for you here in this era have they?" Kagome smiled "Yes, though I would have much rather remain with you all in the past, but then again I guess we are all together now, huh?" "Yes, we are..." "Speaking of together, how are you and Sango doing?" "We're engaged...to be married in the summer." "EEK! I am so glad I found out about you two being alive still before hand!" "So are we." Kagome headed back to the main house, Miroku called for and had the wolf boys take Naraku to the hidden cells in the cellar.
Kagome never once forgot about what Naraku had said to her about her being pregnant and that the child may or may not be Inuyasha's. Worse yet, the child could possibly Naraku's, due to his continuous rapes upon her. Kagome shuddered to think of having a child who's father was pure evil. Miroku noticed and wrapped his arm around his friend "You'll soon learn the truth Kagome, about so much." Kagome nodded and leaned into him. "Thank you Miroku. You are one amazing friend. Always have been."
