Kagome, feeling much better after a few hours of rest, got up and was about to leave the room when her instincts, that were a result of constant attacks on her by demons in the feudal era, began to scream at her and she immediately dodged an attack from an oddly familiar woman sporting, a green leotard, black cloak, a big wooden mallet, black hair and lavender eyes, that held a insane gleam in them.

"Kodachi…" Kagome was suddenly reminded of Ranma's earlier warning of the crazy girl.

'Because you couldn't show due to injury."

" Kodachi doesn't play fair mostly she barely slips passed the rules and she'll literally try to kill you."

" Kodachi tends to try to hurt anyone she's going to fight not long before the match so she can win by default."

Kagome held a rather dead pan look on her face "what did Kikyo do to give me such bad karma?! next time I see her, SHE'S GETTING SMACKED! I don't care what Inuyasha says!"

"What's your problem!?" Kagome yelled at the gymnast.

"Problem I don't know what you mean." Kodachi says lifting the mallet and preparing to swing at her again.

Kagome, dodging another swing, called out "oh yes, of course not! Because it's normal for people to suddenly pop up out of nowhere and just randomly start swinging mallets and attacking people!" "Demons yes humans no, especially not in this era. (Except demons rarely use mallets) ' She thought wryly with annoyance

"Kagome! What's wrong?!" Akane yelled bursting in with Ranma right behind her.

"Kodachi!" she growled out. Impressing Kagome at her growl. 'Am I sure she doesn't hold any demon blood at all?'

"What are you doing here?" Akane snarled out thorough gritted teeth.

"Just checking out the competition…" Kodachi said moving to attack Akane.

Before Akane could doge or Ranma, react Kagome quickly pulled Akane out of the way, like she had done for Shippo at least a hundred times.

"Uh… thanks."Akane said still feeling slightly weird by the still seemingly odd situation with Ranma's most recent fiancée.

"it's nothing." Kagome replied absently to Akane as she watched Ranma take care of Kodachi

"believe me now?" Ranma asked Kagome.

"I never doubted you…" Kagome said as stared at the black rose petals and out the window (Kodachis escape route) giving him a look that for some reason made him feel a bit stupid.

Ranma scratched the back of his head "well that was the kind of thing I was talking about."

"Okay, well I'm feeling a lot better now, you ready for more practice?" she asked grinning

he smirked back at her "sure."

The began to leave for the dojo "hey I'll help." Akane called following after them.

Ranma and Akane just stared at the girl in front of them and the large object.

"Kagome…" Ranma began

"What it's not an illegal tool right?" Kagome asked with a self satisfied grin

"Well… no, it's legal but…"Akane said slightly dazed and wondering where she even got the thing and how she would even pick it up…

"Kagome can you even pick that up?" Ranma asked

"Ranma I wouldn't have gotten it if I couldn't pick it up." Kagome smirked smugly at him picking up the giant club and swinging it down wards (Kagome had used Hiraikotsu a few times usually just to hit people. Miroku and Inuyasha mostly, so she could could manage a giant club.)

To Ranma it honestly looked like it could do even more damage than Ukyo's giant spatula.

Then he watched Kagome throw it and it created a crack in the outer wall surrounding the house and dojo.

Ranma raised his eyebrows "not too bad." Akane also had to admit she was fairly impressed.

Kagome smirked feeling proud of herself she's a resourceful girl and she came up with some Ideas for 'tools'.

Kagome put oddly distributed weights in the ball so it would move oddly and Kodachi wouldn't be able to predict its movements' she also had a ball that would light up brightly and temporarily mess with Kodachis vision

She added weights to the rope too so if she managed to wrap it around Kodachi or something it would defiantly weigh her down.

She painted lines on the ribbon for an optical illusion that makes it appear shorter then it is in reality so Kodachi would be slow on dodging.

she also has rubber and elastic hoops so she can bend and stretch it into any shape she wants (she has several of those so she can have different amounts of resistance.)

Akane and Ranma had to admit it was creative and pure genius! Kagome was resourceful.

Ranma was playing with the ball trying to see if he could predict the way it moved and defiantly had trouble he had been hit several times but it had also gone in random directions if anything it would at least throw Kodachi off.

But of course these where just back up tools, Kagome believed in not stooping to Kodachis level if it could be helped. Kagome walked back into the dojo and put the giant club down as she set about practicing with the regular tools Akane found herself enjoying watching Kagome practice, but that mostly because she imagined her using those moves to beat up Kodachi.

Ranma saw this smirk on Akanes face and had to wonder why it was there "what's with the smile?" Ranma asked sitting down beside her.

"I don't know I just imagined Kodachi getting her butt kicked by Kagome. I'd more than love to see that!" she watched her fiancés face bloom with a smile of its own. The thought was satisfying.

"Kagome, how about taking a break it's been two hours right?" he asked having recently been told about how kagome planned on teaching Akane to swim and Akane accepting he was pleasantly surprised by the quickly forming friendship between the two he won't have to worry about these two fighting but it probably didn't hurt that he and kagome were more friends than anything else and only fiancés in name.

"sure." Kagome smiled slipping on a pair of pants borrowed from Akane. (being that she was only wearing a leotard.)

All three made their way towards the main house and Kagome began explaining the basics of swimming and how she was going to start lessons "…you see a lot of swimming has to do with breath control."

"Huh? Why are you talking about swimming? Akane can't swim." Ranma butted-in.

"Oh well that's why I'm explaining it to her and planning to give her lessons."Kagome smiled at Akane receiving a smile in return.

Ranma's eyes widened "you plan to teach her? Look we already tried that. It didn't work."

"Yes, I was told she was being taught by an asylum escapee. The insane usually aren't very proficient teachers and from the sounds of it she nearly got killed." Kagome grinned "I assure you I will do much better."

They sat down and Akane went to make some ,hopefully, less lethal, tea for the three of them to drink while they took a break.

"are you sure you want to teach Akane to swim she's Pretty much hopeless in a lot of things all she really has is brute strength." Ranma said propping his head up on a hand

"Ranma, I honestly don't think you give her enough credit she has a strong will and that will defiantly help but you also have to remember that the ways she's been trying to learn were unconventional at best and just downright wrong I think she needs help with breath control that is after all a big part of what keeps someone above water." She smiled at her would-be fiancé sitting across from her as Akane brought the tea in.

"Kagome took a quick sniff of it." And gave is a wary look.

"its regular green tea." Akane said noticing the way Kagome was looking at it

'okay…" kagome said still a bit wary but took a sip.

From down the hall way came a young woman wearing traditional okonomiyaki chief attire with a bandolier filled with smaller spatulas to match with the bigger one she carried strapped to her back although the young woman overlooked everyone in the room except for Ranma she was immeadeatly at his side and apologizing "Ranma I'm so sorry, it was only after you left that I realized I used the wrong sauce on the okonomiyaki I hope it still tasted alright!"

Kagome immediately picked up that the young woman meant the okonomiyaki Ranma had brought back for her earlier today "Oh there was nothing wrong with it! It was actually some of the best okonomiyaki I've ever had!" kagome assured the young woman who only seemed to take notice of her when she began to speak.

Kagome immediately took an uneasy note of the look on the new girls face. 'you…" she began in a foreboding but calm voice "ate that Okinomiyaki…" her voice began to rise in volume and pitch "that I made for my…" her face contorted into pure rage "RANMA-HONEY!?" She screamed and swung her giant spatula at Kagome who barely got out of the way in time. "Yikes!"

Kagome looked up at the young woman from the hole that she had made in the floor "Ukyo! What are you doing!" Ranma yelled.

"Don't defend this little hussy I know you Ranma-honey and you would never share your food with anyone!" Ukyo glared at Kagome who had taken a second to grasp the situation but managed.

she quickly whipped out the rope from her training and held it above her head as Ukyo swung the spatula down at her again effectively blocking it and Kagome looked past Ukyo to Ranma "listen for now I'm to run but later I had better get an explanation from you." Kagome glared at her 'fiancé' and then ran with an angry okonomiyaki chef on her heels.

"Ranma! What just happened?!" Akane in all honesty was confused

"I… don't really know… wait…" Ranma remembered

"made especially for you Ranma honey!"

'she said that right before she gave to me, damn."

Poor Kagome can never catch a break *sighs* poor girl.
