'Sakura just doesn't give up!' I thought as my team and I gathered around our out-like-a-light sensei. It's been two days since the first time I checked Kakashi and with how his body was doing, I expected him to wake today. Although, during those two days, I had to suffer constant stupid tricks from pinkie. It pissed me off, but I survived.

I was so deep in my thoughts, that I didn't notice my sensei stir until Naruto nudged me. I turned to him and checked as he stirred, and thankfully his body is fine other than a few fractured bones and some torn muscles. I healed the bones with my miko powers, but left the muscles to heal on their own.

"What happened?" he asked.

"You passed out before your first step towards Tazuna's house."Naruto stated. Kakashi nodded and tried to get up. I pushed him back down on the futon.

"I don't think so Kakashi," I said sternly. "Your muscles are torn and will take the rest of the week to heal properly." Kakashi, yet again, nodded in understanding and lay back down. Tazuna, Suzuki, and Inari walked in.

"So, you're awake?" Tazuna stated. Suzuki walked up to Kakashi and bowed.

"Thank you for bringing my father back home safely." Inari walked up and bowed as well. The smile on his face reminded me of a little chat between him and I last night after the dinner. *Everyone already knows the story of Inari and his dad. So just imagine Kagome was the one talking to him instead of Kakashi or Naruto or whatever.*

"Of course." Kakashi turned serious. "Now, as for the little show we had during the fight. Would you please explain Kagome?" I nodded.

"Yes of course. You see I wasn't always a demon. It all started long before you met me. I am, in truth, a fifteen year old time-traveling priestess. I turned demon because of my aniki Sesshoumaru..." My story went on from there explaining my whole non-ninja life to my sensei and clueless teammate. It didn't really end well because of the memories that came back after the long months of blocking them out. Thankfully, I was able to hold back the tears, but that doesn't mean that my sadness wasn't noticeable. Naruto hugged me as Sasuke squeezed my hand for comfort. After that little episode, Kakashi started to speak.

"Now I see. I always wondered why he told me nothing." Kakashi looked up and smiled. "At least now I know you trust me to hold this secret. But..." He turned to Sakura. The others turned as well and saw who he was looking at. I smiled.

"Yes, I trust pinkie too." The little nickname got her fuming, but she just huffed and turned away. It was silent for a few seconds when I realized that I had to tell Kakashi something. "Sensei, I don't know if you already realized this but, Zabuza's alive." I said with a dreading tone. Everyone turned to me with surprise clear in their face.

"There's no way! Kakashi-sensei checked his pulse!" Sakura screeched. Kakashi shook his head.

"No she's right," He said. "Do you remember what the hunter-nin use to bring down Zabuza?"

"Senbon." Sasuke said. Kakashi nodded.

"Exactly. Senbons or throwing needles are mostly used for medical purposes, rarely used to kill unless it is thrown in a vital spot. The area the nin aimed for was the neck, the most vulnerable part of the body." He stated. "There is a nerve located in the back of the neck that when struck will cause a temporary death in which Zabuza is in the state of at the moment."

"And your point in saying this is?" I asked, arching an eyebrow.

"We will be training in the time-lapse that Zabuza is recuperating." He replied cheerily. Sakura looked appalled.

"But Kakashi-sensei, your injured! How are you supposed to train us?"

"I don't need to be in full swing to train you. Besides, I'm sure it will be relatively easy.. for most of you" He smiled.

"Well, now that we're here, how about you tell us what our training is." Sasuke said.

"Alright alright. Your training will be chakra control." Naruto seemed disappointed.

"But sensei, why do we need to learn about catra? Don't we just need to learn the jutsu?" Kakashi just sighed.

"Naruto, one, it's chakra, and two, you need to learn about it in order to do the jutsu correctly. When it comes to the jutsus, use too little, and the jutsu never works. Use too much, and the jutsu will go wrong and tucker you out faster."

"Ok well how do we train on chakra control?" Sakura asked. Kakashi smiled.

"You climb trees." Everyone, except Kagome, anime-fell. "But there's a catch, no hands." The three looked at him disbelievingly. He turned to Kagome, noticing that she hasn't reacted the way he expected. She noticed and rubbed the back of her neck.

"I can see that you expected me to act like the others did." Kakashi just stared and Kagome sweat-dropped. "It's just that my aniki and I have seen people train like this while wandering around the village training ground, so it really is no big surprise that you would use this training method." Kakashi nodded in understanding.

"Then how about you demonstrate for the others." Kagome nodded and walked to the front of a tree. She formed the tiger seal and concentrated her chakra, all the while, Kakashi was explaining how hard it was to concentrate a balanced amount of chakra, even for a well trained ninja.

Kagome opened her eyes and started to walk towards the tree. Sakura just scoffed.

"How is she supposed to climb that tree? She didn't even do anything." Everyone ignored her. Kagome just kept walking to the tree. when she couldn't walk any closer, she did what the three didn't expect. She walked up the tree. Just walked up with her feet and when she reached the branch, she hung upside down on the bottom of the bough, arms crossed with a smug smirk aimed at the pink haired kunoichi. Kakashi nodded.

"Impressive. Now Kagome, if you don't mind, would you spare three of your kunai to your teammates?" Kagome obliged, throwing the weapons to her friends, making the third land a little too close to her female teammate's feet, making her scream and jump. Kagome jumped down from the branch and landed gracefully on the ground. She walked toward her sensei.

"Since I am capable of doing this exercise, do you think I could go somewhere a little more discreet to do a little more training?" Kagome asked. 'Besides, Sesshoumaru-aniki wouldn't be happy to know I was slacking off in my training with my friends weapons.' She added mentally. Kakashi nodded and she was off in a random direction.

Sasuke stared in the direction his girlfriend went to. He shrugged, knowing she could take care of herself. The three picked up the kunai and waited for their teacher's instructions. Kakashi limped his way over.

"Now, the rest of you, will need to concentrate on how high you can get on your trees. You should start by running to gain some momentum. Keep a constant flow of chakra on your feet. Go as high as you can, and mark that area with your kunai. Keep going like that and try to go past your previous mark until you make it to the top or run out of chakra, whichever comes first." He explained.

Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto nodded. Forming a tiger seal, each one of them concentrated their chakra and went charging.

0o..Meanwhile..o0

Kagome came across a clearing in her search for a discreet place to train. She looks around the area, measuring the distance of the area from one end to the other. When she deemed it wide enough that damage won't make it look any different, she reached for the bracelet she never took off, and first pulled out her old weapon, her bow and arrows.

She turned to a random tree, filling the arrow with her spiritual energy, she fired it. As it made contact, the tree gained a large hole in the middle. She kept shooting at it until the poor plant's bark gave and it crashed not too quietly. Satisfied with the outcome, she moved on to the next weapon on her small stash.

She brought out hiraikotsu. She leaped into the air while shouting out ,"Hiraikotsu!" and throwing the weapon into the trees and knocking down all in its way. It flew about 30 feet in front of her and knocking down about 20 trees. She jump again and caught the giant boomerang.

She connected that weapon back to her bracelet and brought out Miroku's staff. She went to one of the trees that are yet to be destroyed. She positioned the staff in front of her and attacked the tree mercilessly. In a few minutes, it ended up like most of the trees Kagome already used as targets. Already she was sweating like a pig. She brushed it off her brow and moved on to Inuyasha's weapon, the Tessaiga.

'At least with my demon blood, I am able to use the Tessaiga.' She thought as the sword pulsed with power. She first started off with the most basic and used move Inuyasha had. Kagome raised the sword as high as she could.

"Wind scar!" She exclaimed as she brought her arms down. Golden energy came out of the sword causing the ground to be torn apart with what looked like claw marks getting larger the farther it went. It destroyed a vast majority of the forest. The sword pulsed yet again and looked like it was made of diamonds. And once more she raised her arms in the air and brought it down. This time though, she shouted, "Adamant Barrage!" and large shards of what looked like diamonds shot out of the sword and punctured the trees in front of her. She huffed out a tired breath and brought up her sword for the last time today. And again the sword pulsed to transform into something like oblivion. Bringing it down and shouting, "Meidou Zangetsuha!", small half-moon forms of the sword came and as it came in contact with the trees, the piece disappeared from existence. As the attack finished, Kagome was left panting from the energy drain. She fell to her knees and panted harder.

"That was some workout. I didn't know I would get this tired after training with their weapons all at once." She said to no one in particular. She turned to the sun and noticed it just started to set. She looked at her surroundings and sweat-dropped at the damage she caused to the place. She sighed and walked towards the home to a nice dinner.
