Chapter Seven: Nothing is as easy as black and white

Kiara had transformed and bristled her fir as she attacked Inuyasha.

"KIARA what's wrong!?" Sango cried frantically she rushed to kiara's side her hands up in front of her as if to calm kiara like you would a horse.

Kiara's fur turned black and her eyes faded to a green. After she had transformed the fire that usually burned softly under her feet had now grown fierce and crimson red, her lips furled at Inuyasha. The look in kiara's eyes shown a black hue as if she was somewhere else not aware of what was going on.

"Kiara…Kiara what's wrong?" Sango's voice unsteady, her words she repeated every three seconds sounding more frantic than the last.

Kiara launched herself swiftly at Inuyasha with all of her intent shown on her face.

She was planning to hurt something but what…

Kill Inuyasha…

What?

Inuyasha…kill him then take one of the two girls I need…

But he is my friend…

KILL HIM…OBEY ME!

But…

Kill him now or just get one of the girls; you can kill him later…

Which girl…

For right now…the blond one, I need her 'gift' for a little 'experiment'…

And what of the other girl?

We can get her later; I do not want my plan known…just yet anyways…

Kiara let out a soft grow which was a cross between a roar and laughter. All the while, her eyes never left the hanyou and ignoring the slayers words.

"KIARA…KIARA?! Why won't you answer me?" Sango's pleads had become desperate, deeply wishing for her most beloved friend to come back to her. Why was she doing this, attacking Inuyasha?

Kiara's relentless attacks on Inuyasha did not cease. She lunged again at Inuyasha, but he managed to dart to the side in time; but just barely. This game of cat and mouse went on for a few more minuets but Inuyasha was tiring out quickly. Since he is not a full demon like kiara, he could not keep up; but he did not want to hurt his friend. Then as quickly as kiara's attacks had started, they had stopped. Slowly kiara's eyes turned from the light shade of green to ice-cold blue, she moved so that she faced Kelis and looked her up and down growling softly.

"What Kiara…why are you looking at me?" Kelis's voice wavered as she took a step back only to have Kiara take one-step forward.

Inuyasha pulled himself from where he had jumped last to get away from kiara. He leaned over taking deep breaths but never letting his eyes leave Kelis's. What is going on? Why is Kiara doing this, What is she going to do she is looking at Kelis…KELIS!

Inuyasha scrambled to his feet and dove at Kelis to save her from the preying eyes of Kiara; but to no avail. Kiara jumped a second before Inuyasha and stood a few feet to the left with Kelis fighting in her mouth.

"Kiara…Kiara…KIARA LET GO OF ME!" Kelis at first thought that maybe kiara was just worried that Inuyasha would hurt her; but the look in her eyes told her that there was something else at work. Then a shiver slowly and oddly enough warmly shook through her body. She stopped her wailing and began to sink into Kiara's tough yet tender grip on her midsection. Kelis'es eyes started to droop. Why do…I feel so warm and safe, I think it is time for a nap… and with that thought, Kelis passed out in Kiara's mouth as the neko demon began to ascend to the pink tainted sky.

"WAIT KIARA!" Sango cried frantically after her friends but neither Kelis nor Kiara acknowledged her.

"…My lady…My lady your presence is needed"

Who was the soft voice that dared to interrupt her sleep. Kagome on average was normally a morning person but after last night and the whole ordeal with Inuyasha, she just wanted to stay in bed as far away from reality as she could get. However, that thought came and went as the soft voice was replaced by a dark silky voice that clouded her mind.

"Miko you will wake up, now."

"hm…" Kagome kept her eyes shut tight and turned over bringing her black silk sheets over her head.

"Now." Sesshomaru's patient was always thin to start with but to make him wait would not be tolerated.

"…"

At the no reply Kagome, felt the warmth that surrounded her be stripped immediately and found herself being held off the bed by her neck. The cold and pain in combination quickly woke Kagome up. She shook her head and tried to get free from the stoic demon that held her in the air. Nevertheless, with in seconds of awaking he spoke again.

"You will not be late for training this morning. Mind you if you are there will be consequences." with what he needed said done Sesshomaru dropped Kagome back onto the bed and walked out of the room.

Consequences…yea right more like torture…oh well now that I am up I can get a bath…

Kagome arose slowly from where she had lain crumpled on the bed, only to meet a pair of jade green eyes; which in turn caused her to fall of the bed in fright landing in an undignified position upon the floor.

"My lady are you all right?" ask the small woman, her ears twitched with Kagome's every movement. Watching as Kagome tried to unravel herself from the covers that had slid off the bed with her as she had fallen.

"…yes…who are you?"

"You have forgotten my lady?"

Kagome sheepishly looked at the ground and then at the kind demoness that stood before her.

"…"

"I was merely playing with you my lady, you were dreadfully tired last night I would be surprised if you remembered me at all. I am Hirya." The woman bowed before Kagome her small frame appeared even smaller when she bowed. Nevertheless, the soft blue plain kimono that she wore gave her a friendly feel.

"Oh…yes I remember…" The moments of the previous night came flooding back to her. After Sesshomaru left the study, Hirya had come in and shown her to her room.

If only she had come a few minutes later, I could have gotten a better look at that box…oh well.

The room that she had brought Kagome to was exquisite. The dark bed, that had black silk sheets with a crescent moon upon them seemed to shine in the moon light. Round, tall, slender pillars rose from the ends of the beds spiraling up to the ceiling. The dark wood rounded at the top but along the twisting path of the pillars were small engravings of crescent moons and teardrops, neither were painted so they barely stood out yet Kagome did not fail to notice them.

Kagome had looked all over the room, it had an adjoining bathroom filled with all different kinds of scented soaps and beautiful paintings. Two dressers lined the far right wall each was made of the darkest cheery wood; one had carved upon it face a large inu-dog while the other a strong looking human man with a crescent moon upon his forehead. The knobs on the dressers were silver teardrops, which, to kagome, seemed to show the sadness that neither of the carvings were allowed to admit.

Just like Sesshomaru…wait why am I thinking about that idiot he is the one who oh so rudely woke me up this morning…

Then it hit her.

"AHHH!!! TRAINING. Crap!" Kagome stood rapidly trying to maintain her balance and moved towards the bathroom to take a bath.

"The water is all ready prepared for you my lady."

"You know Hirya there really is no need for you to call me 'my lady', just call me Kagome it would be great is SOMEONE did that."

"Buy I do not think that Sesshomaru would approve of my addressing you by your first name…"

"He doesn't approve of a lot of things, like right now I think he wants to disapprove on my breathing so lets get going okay." Kagome gave Hirya a cheery smile; and soon Kagome was bathed and changed into a brand new yukata that she found spread out upon her bed.

As Kagome stood patting herself down making sure that there were no more wrinkles in the black yukata Hirya came in the room and started to rush her towards the door.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing Kagome but you must hurry unless you intend to keep the lord waiting, and I am for certain that you most certainly do not want to keep him waiting."

Kagome watched as some past pain flashed briefly across the kind woman's eyes.

What could Sesshomaru be cable of?

In truth, Kagome knew he was capable of anything, but it never had been proven to her, so to think what he could have done to Hirya scared her profusely in her subconscious.

Kagome had been rushed down the cold castle steps to the doors that led outside where the dojo resided. Hirya had led her all the way, until the doors were upon them, then she opened one door a small crack and pushed Kagome inside.

The walls of the dojo were plain bamboo, and nothing looked too far out of the ordinary accept two things. One was the somewhat disgusted looking Youki and a very impatient Sesshomaru.

Two was the back wall of the dojo, there was a large rage, maybe five feet high, that had rows and rows of hanging weapons each more magnificent than the last. One sword caught Kagome's eye, it was medium sized and the hilt was wrapped in a black fabric. The blade itself was hidden in a leather sheath. However, for some reason it felt like the sword was calling out to her softly.

"Miko." A gruff voice brought Kagome back from the rack of weapons to Sesshomaru.

Now having her full attention Sesshomaru continued speaking, "You will be training under Ugino. He is a well respected general in my army and you will obey his every command understood."

Kagome could not help but feel sorry for the demon, he looked so unhappy that he had to train her, not only was she a human but she was a woman and priestess as well. Nevertheless, she bowed to him anyways hoping that it may show she rightfully respects him.

She bowed to a general. Why…he is of no true importance…

But after she had bowed, Sesshomaru noticed that Ugino seemed to immediately relax.

Strange…

Sesshomaru spoke with Ugino about how and what to train her on, and then he took his leave still pondering on Kagome's earlier actions.

this miko is more confusing than this Sesshomaru first believed.
