Chapter seven: Kagome's training

The drive was beautiful. The sensei lived just outside the city on what seemed to be on a large piece of land. It was tucked away behind many trees. As they pulled up and her grandfather shut off the engine her grandfather spoke breaking the silence.

"Kagome, you must show them much respect. Do not underestimate them, for they are older than they appear and are far more powerful than you know."

"What do you mean, they? I thought I was to only have one trainer?" Kagome asked with confusion all over her face.

"The sensei will train you to fight with your body and will make you strong. His wife is a great miko and she will teach you of the powers that already reside within you.

"Are they human?" Kagome asked

"You're sensei is only half human and half wolf demon his wife is a priestess. I told him your story and they have agreed to train you." Her grandfather replied.

"I thought that demons and priestesses no longer existed." Kagome blurted out.

"Well for the rest of the world they don't, and wish for it to stay that way, do you understand?"

"Yes. Thank you Grandpa. I will call you when I need you to come get me." Kagome said as he kissed her grandfather's cheek.

"Good luck, break a leg!" Her grandfather coughed through his giggles.

"Thanks, grandpa. I will call you when I am done." She opened the door and got out and closed the door behind her. She watched as her grandfather's car backed out of the driveway and disappeared. She looked back the house. It was huge. She walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. No answer. She walked around the back of the house and there was a man with long black hair doing some sort of fighting moves. He was tall, olive skinned and very well built. He was wearing a white kimono with a brown hem. His moves were swift and merciless. He then stopped and stood strait up and put his hands to the sides and spoke.

"Do you always stare or were you planning on announcing your presence?" The man spoke.

"I am sorry, I didn't want to interrupt. I am Kagome…my grandfa.."

"I know who you are. My name is Terasu. You will call me sensei Tersasu. As I am sure your grandfather has already told you I am half wolf demon and half human" He turned to look at his new student. "Let me get to the point. I have agreed to train you because I have heard the great stories of the human who had once saved the world from a powerful and yet very evil demon named Naraku. I suppose you are the one?"

"Yes, but I did not do it alone. Who did you hear these stories from?" Kagome asked.

She was very surprised by the fact that the battle had that had taken place yesterday was now a story of history being told to yokai.

"The stories were passed down from my great, great uncle Kouga." He paused, "Shall we begin your training?"

She still had so many questions. But she would wait until later to ask them. She wondered if Kouga was still living.

"Yes, but how will you train me? I am a miko and you are yokai?" Kagome asked a little confused.

"I will teach you to fight. My wife will teach you how to use your miko powers."

"Oh, I see. Well I can't thank you enough. I really appreciate it." Kagome said with a smile.

"Hold your thanks until after your training is complete. This training will be quite extensive and painful at times." He assured.

He led her into a small building to the side of the house. The walls were white and the floors were made of granite. He opened a huge cabinet along the wall which displayed the many weapons she would learn to use. There were too many to count.

"I will teach you to master these and many more. My wife will teach you to find the power within you and use it for great things. You must understand that as my student I will not tolerate laziness. You will train six hours a day six days a week. If you do not already run on a regular basis I suggest you start. You should run at least for an hour a day. And Kagome, your body will start to feel like it is breaking down, and you may want to quit, but you must not push the thought away. I will not tolerate weakness. My wife and I will make you strong. Do you still wish to continue?"

"I am ready whenever you are…..sensei!" Kagome stated without blinking an eye. This is exactly what she wanted….change. To no longer be the weak Kagome. No longer "The girl who needed Inuyasha to save her". No longer "The girl" period. She will return a mature strong woman.

"I understand, I will not let you down or your wife down, Sensei Terasu." Kagome promised and then bowed to her new sensei.

"Good lets begin." Terasu stated.

Three hours later

They were both dripping from sweat. He showed her many attack and defense moves. He was very impressed how fast she picked up everything. She even was able to hit him on more than one occasion during their training. She never faulted in her assault on him. She kept coming at him just as he demanded.

"Ok, Kagome. Let's break to hydrate." He handed her a bottle of water. "Kagome, I sense you are holding in a lot of anger. Anger can be your strength or your downfall. I suggest you channel your anger. It will only make you more powerful.

Just then they were interrupted by a beautiful woman with shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a purple T shirt and jeans. "Excuse me, is now a good time for me to meet my new student?"

"Yes now is a great time. Kagome, this is my wife Nara. She is the one who will be training you on how to use your miko powers." said Terasu.

Nara walked over to Kagome and put her hand out. "Hello, I have heard a lot about you from your grandfather."

Kagome graciously took her hand. "Nice to meet you, Nara!"

"Terasu you look like you could use a break. I will take her off your hands for a little while." Nara said to him with a smile. She then put her attention on Kagome. "I hear you have fought with some of the best warriors of the past. Is this true?"

"Yes, I suppose." Kagome replied.

"Have you ever used your miko powers before?"

"Yes. I have used a bow and arrow to destroy some pretty evil demons. I have also done some other weird stuff but I don't know how I did it." Kagome said.

"Hmm, well that is all going to change. As a priestess you have the power to heal, the power to kill, and the power to protect. But it is a great duty to our kind to always use it for the good. Do you understand?"

"Yes ma'am." replied Kagome.

"Please call me Nara. I am not as formal as my husband." She said with a giggle.

Kagome giggled a little too.

"I want to test to see how powerful you are. Care to play along?"

"Sure!" Kagome said with excitement. She had never had anyone to show her how to use her powers before. She had been learning as she went.

"Kagome, finding the powers within you will not be hard. Controlling them once you find them will be a little challenging."

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked

"Well it's kind of like riding a bike, once you know how you never forget. Then you have to worry about your miko power showing itself when you're sad, happy, and when you are angry. You know people of today's time will not accept you once they know what you are."

"I know." Kagome's face dropped to a frown.

"Let's begin." Nara said as grabbing Kagome's hands in hers.

Nara's miko powers started to light up all around her. Her aura was a beautiful purple. It started to dance around Kagome. It didn't take much for Kagome's pink aura to respond.

"Close your eyes Kagome." Nara demanded.

Kagome did as she was told. Nara started to teach Kagome to use her emotions to bring forth her miko powers. Her body felt and responded to all of the different emotions. Her aura was soft and light when she was happy. But when she got angry her aura became a deep violet and she could feel the heat her body as it started to generate.

"You are doing great, Kagome." She let Kagome's hands go and their auras separated. "I want you to take some deep breathes and feel your energy come back into you." Nara advised her.

Kagome started to breathe deeply in and out and could feel her aura start to come back. This was starting to make her feel very tingly inside. She opened her eyes and looked at Nara who was standing there with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Well, how did I do?" Kagome asked.

"Kagome, your powers are quite strong. I think with a little direction, you will surpass me in no time." Nora said while smiling. "Come on let's go inside so you can call your grandfather. When my daughter gets back from the United States I would like you two to meet. She is about your age. She is visiting my sister right now for the summer."

"I would love that!" Kagome said excitedly

This was a forgotten chapter…I was so surprised that no one ever caught on that there was a huge chunk of story missing. Lol…and shame on me for never noticing either.
