Sesshomaru and Sango did some fighting against each other as Kagome watched, she took every move in as she concentrated on the moves, finally it was her turn. Kagome did every move perfectly, so graceful in her movements, she even managed to cut Sesshomaru deep with her sword.

"Very good, now you will move on to the bow and arrow," Sesshomaru giving her a bow and some arrows,

"Hit the flying bird," Sesshomaru pointing the bird that was too far off to shoot with a bow and arrow, Kagome pulled back the arrow and shot, but she didn't hit it,

"You have to focus on your target," Sesshomaru standing close behind her, she could feel the hot heat pour out of Sesshomaru's mouth, she pulled back another arrow and focused, she could hear the heartbeat of the bird, she could see its wings beating against the wind, she finally shot and brought down the bird.

"Very well my lady, now you shall shoot the apple from Rin's head," Sesshomaru commanded, Kagome nodded, Sango watched her, it was like she didn't have any feelings,

"You can't let her do that, she will hurt Rin," Sango worriedly, Sesshomaru walked over to Sango and stood right in front of her,

"This Sesshomaru's actions will not be questioned, Kagome has already learned that very well may I add, it is time for those who are guests and who are old friends of Lady Kagome to learn that lesson as well," Sesshomaru in a deadly tone. Rin had set an apple on top of her head, Kagome pulled the arrow back, Sesshomaru walked back over to Kagome,

"Concentrate, focus on the target, and shoot," Sesshomaru backing away from her to give her space. Rin stood very still and closed her eyes, Kagome let Sesshomaru's words run through her head,

~Concentrate, focus on the target, and shoot.~ Kagome stared at the target and took a few minutes and shot, she shot the apple without hurting Rin,

~Hn, very good, still she has a long way to go, one week from today she will be forged into battle against this Sesshomaru from 24 hours straight.~ Sesshomaru thought, he walked over to another target, he stood in front of the target.

"Shoot the tree with the ribbon around it," Sesshomaru standing in the way, Kagome's brows furried in confusion, she nodded, she pulled back the arrow and concentrated, she focused, and she shot, Sesshomaru stepped out of the way at the last second, and Kagome hit the target.

~Wow, I did that.~ Kagome thought secretly to herself, Sesshomaru stared her eyes down and nodded a single nod, she herself gave him a single nod.

"One week from today you will go into battle with this Sesshomaru, you will continue to fight for 24 hours," Sesshomaru walking away,

"Of course my lord, what would you have me to do now?" Kagome asked,

"You and Lady Sango will share a bath, I will have new clothes for you both sent in," Sesshomaru leading the way to the castle, Kagome and Sango followed him.
