From then on, things began to change.
Kegan no longer felt so alone. Ryo and Magus often found ways to make her laugh. Jericho became something of an older brother to her. He was moody all the time but she didn't mind. The bear youki was named Valiant but they all called him Val. He was like the wise man of their group. Even though all of them were about the same age they all seemed to be a working family unit.
The wolf named, Lee, was the informer. He was almost fox like and loved to play tricks and make things.
Even though she had gained much, Kegan still missed her home. Sesshomaru was often on her mind but she often put him out lure of more training. An entire summer had gone by and she knew by now that the little one must have been born by now.
Sometimes it made her laugh inside to think of Sesshomaru trying to keep his patience with a baby.
Her other problem was that it was getting harder and harder to hide her 'talents'. Jericho suspected and Ryo probably knew something was up. It was easier to keep it from the others though.
They had been moved to a bigger hut by the first of autumn. Camen had clearly seen something in them or they'd still be at the bottom. As their station progressed they were continuously sent on retrieval missions, which only gained more ground.
It was well into her second winter there when Camen decided he no longer liked them. Osai, of course did nothing to save any of them.
The night before their 'test' Kegan had stretched out atop the hut and was staring up at the stars. Out of everything she'd found here, this was her favorite thing. The night sky was so clear and you could always see the stars shining brightly back. And there were so many! Never once had she ever seen the multitude from the gardens.
Beside her sat her twin blades. The one's she'd won back from a well seasoned warrior only a week prior. After getting them she had put all concentration into cleaning them and bringing them back to their former glory.
The black hilted swords were a sight to behold and she was skilled wickedly with them as many found out by either fighting her or watching her.
