Chapter 10. Discussions

Disclaimer:I don't own InuYasha or YuGiOh. Just what little plot there is to the story

"Kagome. Good morning."

Kagome smiled at Ishizu. "Good morning Miss Ishtar."

Ishizu smiled at the younger woman before speaking again. After breakfast I am taking you to the training grounds, alright?"

Kagome nodded. "You guys sure don't waste time do you?" Ishizu just smiled at her at they entered into the kitchen.

Some ful later, Kagome found herself in a large room. Light streamed through a round hole in the roof highlighting a slightly agitated Seto Kaiba, she could see a machine hidden in the shadows at the far ens of the room.

"Took you long enough girl." He commented.

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Excuse me if I didn't want to see you, boy, now let get started." She retorted.

He grunted. "I will be assessing you, come" He turned on his heal, his trench coat swishing dramatically. Kagome jogged up to walk beside him until the reached the machine. It was a hologram machine. Kagome put her hand on her hips and waited expectantly for the CEO to explain.

"This in a holo deck, programed inside are some of the various situations we've encountered in both the shadow realm and our world. I will assesss how you handle each situations and you will be trained accordingly." He explained. Kagome nodded.

Kaiba handed her a black spandex suit. Kagome looked at it then at him, then to the suit and back. "No." She stated flatly. Kaiba's brow twitched.

"You need to put it on so your vitals are monitered. Now get it on, you can change there." He explaind while pointed to a folding screen.

Kagome gave him a suspicious look then walked proudly behind the screen. A couple minutes later she was done. She was also quite surprised. She couldn't even feel the suit, or the sensors on it. The only thing she had a problem with was that it left nothing to the imagination. Kagome sighed, it was definitely a guy who came up with this.

Kagome stepped out from behind the screen and walked over to Kaiba, who was watching her intently. She stared right back at him, her small hands fisted on her hips.

"Now what?" She asked him.

Kaiba blinked his blue eyes and cleared his throat. "You put these on." He handed her a visor. "When you get inside," He stated.

Kagome turns on her heel and got into the machine. She put on the visor and turned to were Kaiba was. "Now what?" She asked.

"Now, we begin," Kaiba stated bluntly and Kagome found herself surrounded by jagged rocks.

Kaiba swallowed thickly as he watched Kagome complete her tasks. Her regular cloths didn't do her justice. Sure he knew she had nice legs, her skirts were quite short ,so it was hard not to notice. Shaking off his distraction, Kaiba looked at her stats. She needed work on physical combat, and balance, at everything else she excelled. She even held super natural powers simular to some of the monsters of the shadow realm.

He leaned forward and pressed a button. "The evaluation is now over. Remove the visor and change your cloths." He stated over the com. Kagome did what she was told. As he waited for her, he compiled her data and sent it to Atemu. When he was done she was waiting behind him.

"Now what?" She asked.

Kaiba looked at his watch, he had a buisness meeting. "I don't care what you do." He stated flatly then left her there.

'What a jerk.' Kagome thought as she watched the tall CEO leave her alone. 'Maybe theirs some sort of rule that all businessmen have to be the same.' Remembering her father. She stuffed her hands in her pockets and began to walk out of the room. Suddenly she felt a chill go down her spine. She sighed and looked to her left. "Good afternoon, Shaadi. How do you plan on creeping me out today?" She asked the spirit.

He just looked at her with his big black eyes. Annoyed, she walked closer to him. "What are you?" She asked. He blinked then then he started to fade.

"Oh no you don't!" Kagome cried as she summoned her power, trapping him. He looked over at her and scowled. "Woman..." He growled at her only to be interrupted.

"Why do you do that?" She asked.

He stood up straighter. His large eyes narrowed. "Well?" Kagome asked again. "I've been observing you." He stated flatly.

Kagome gave him a dubious look. "Why?" She asked.

"Release me." Shaadi stated flatly.

"No, not until you tell me why you've been observing me." She snapped. He didn't answer.

"Are you going to answere me?" She asked. Shaadi just turned his head away. Kagome narrowed her eyes. "Fine." She said. "Be that way."

Kagome said and called back her barrier. Shaadi disappeared as soon as it was gone..

Kagome shook her head and left the same way she came in.

Around lunchtime Kagome found herself outside in the searing Egyptian sun. Her chin rested on her linen clad knees, her strong arms wrapped around her legs and she thought over what was going on. It was happening so fast. She closed her eyes and sighed. Perhaps she could talk to Kisara again. After all, if they're going to be partners she might as well get to know her better.

As she prepare to meditate she felt someone behind her.

She turned slightly to see who it was and found Professor Ryou.

"Miss Higurashi, what are you doing out here?" He asked as he approached. The Egyptian sun glinting off his thick white hair.

Kagome shrugged. "After everything that's happened lately, I guess I'm just trying to catch my breath. What about you?"

He blinked his big brown eyes. "Oh..I saw you sitting here on my way to my jeep," he looked away. "You seemed lonely."

Kagome blushed slightly. "Thank you for your concern." She said.

He gestured next to her. "May I sit?" Kagome nodded patting the ground next to her. "Guess this means your not in a hurry." She stated once he sat.

"Not too much, I was just going to pay a visit to my dig site." He said. Kagome nodded. "Professor, can I ask you something?" She asked.

He smiled gently. "Of course."

"Why is it that me being here was made into such an occasion?" Kagome asked. The professor taped his pointed chin with a long, pale index finger. "Hmmm. Well, you see, it's not often we get a new member so it is traditional fall all to be present when a new inductee is found." Kagome nodded her understanding.

Ryou shrugged. "It appears you've caught Shaadi's attention from the get go."

Kagpme shifted a little. "Yeah, he's kind of stalkerish, how did you handle it?" She asked.

Ryou scratched the back of his head blushing slightly. "To be honest, the only person he's shown this much interest in was the Pharaoh, and that was 5000 years ago. Even then it was different." He explained.

Kagome turned to face him. Her head tilted slightly. "How so?" She asked the archaeologist.

"Well, the djinn tested him mostly where as with you he seems to just be watching." He answered. His soft voice taking on a quality that can only mean he was just as baffled as her.

"What's a Djinn?" She asked.

Ryou thought for a moment before answering. "A Djinn is a supernatural creature made up of pure energy who can take on any form."

"And that's what Shaadi is?" Kagome asked. Ryou nodded.

He then looked at his digital watch. "I'm sorry I have to cut this short but I have to leave before dark." He said and got to his feet. Kagome followed suit.

"Is Souta going with you?" She asked him. He nodded. "No. I'll be picking him up tomorrow."

Kagome was relieved. "Ok, thanks for keeping me company." She said, smiling at him.

He smiled back at her. "It was my pleasure,Good night, Miss Higurashi." He said then he walked to to his red jeep.
