Chapter 11: Venik
As soon as Kagome arrived home, she got ready to contact Venik. Naraku was also going to help her.
"Pretty much," Naraku started, sitting on the lounge next to Kagome as she relaxed her mind and body, "You need to relax and then reach into your mind – you should be connected to him through your mind – you need to search for another presence in your mind and call it to you."
Kagome relaxed, her eyes closed. She did as told and searched through her mind, trying to find another presence. When she found it, she grasped onto it and called it to her.
When she opened her eyes, to her shock, she found Venik standing in front of her with a smile. "I was wondering when I was going to see you again." He smiled.
Kagome couldn't help but smile back.
"Now, I'm guessing you've called me here for training?" he asked.
Kagome nodded. "You are welcome to stay here while you train me." She said.
Venik nodded back after considering it. "As long as you don't mind,"
Kagome shook her head, "My name is Kagome, by the way, and this is Naraku," she said motioning to Naraku.
"Very nice to meet you," Venik said again, "And without further ado, I think we should start training…"
They started the usual theory, going over what Venik was going to train Kagome in, until there was a knock at the door.
"Kristen's here!" Kagome said excitedly and ran towards the front door.
"Kagome!"
"Kristen!"
Venik and Naraku blinked at the squealing they heard. What?
They walked back into the room and Venik couldn't help but stare at Kristen.
"Venik?" Kristen asked shocked.
"Kristen?" Venik asked equally as shocked.
"Well, seems like you guys know each other…" Kagome said, trailing off.
"Yeah… we courted for a while… until Venik suddenly disappeared and was thought dead…" Kristen explained.
"I was kidnapped by a half dead Miko who demanded I change Kagome." Venik explained. "Then when I searched for you Kristen, I couldn't seem to reach you… it was like there was a barrier blocking us…"
Kagome had to sigh. Of course Kikyo played a part in this – she just loved ruining other people's lives.
"Kristen and I were going to have a movie and sleepover night, you boys are welcome to join." She said.
Venik nodded, wanting to spend time with his loved one, but Naraku shook his head. "No, it's okay, I was actually thinking of going and training a bit – I'm getting a bit rusty and night time is the best time – I'll talk to you all later." He stood up and left.
The three remaining started to get ready for the movie.
"Guys… could you help me with something?" Kagome asked the pair.
Kristen and Venik nodded. "Sure, Kagome, we'll help you with anything."
Kagome sighed. Here goes. "You see… I love Sesshomaru… I still do even though he left me standing in the forest to fight Kikyo… but I've also developed feelings for Naraku… and I don't know what to do…"
Venik grinned. "Easy, go for both of them." He said.
Kagome blinked. "What?" she asked confused.
"Vampire's, even though it is rare, can sometimes have two mates." Venik explained. "And it seems like you are one of those rare vampires. All you need to do is talk to them about it, explain the circumstances and well, court them."
Kagome blinked again. "That is going to be harder then it seems… 'cause well, I just had a screaming match with Sesshomaru which includes breaking his nose… So he probably hates me now."
Venik and Kristen started laughing. "You still have a chance, if Sesshomaru didn't kill you because you broke his nose, then it means he likes you, loves you even."
Kagome blinked. "Really?" she asked.
"Yep." Kristen said, popping the 'P'.
"Oh yes, and Kagome," Venik started, "You know the seal that was placed on that well?" he asked.
Kagome nodded, "Yeah? What about it?"
"I know how to break it, and if you like, I can teach you how to."
Kagome pulled the vampire in for a big hug. "Oh, yes please!" she said happily.
"Now," Kristen said, "Time to watch the movie."
… X …
Weeks passed and slowly, with help from Venik, Naraku, Kristen and Sesshomaru, Kagome managed to gain control of her powers.
Kagome had decided to mend things with Sesshomaru, so the next day at school, she walked up to the youkai…
"Sesshomaru, I'm sorry about yesterday…" she trailed off, flushing with embarrassment.
Sesshomaru studied her for a moment. "So am I, Kagome," he admitted, "I too am sorry,"
Kagome smiled and pulled him in for a hug. "I missed you," she whispered.
Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her. "I missed you too,"
Of course, that was in the middle of the corridor, so lots of people were talking about them by the end of the day. Of course, nothing got worse than the strange one of the two being long lost siblings.
Kagome learnt about controlling her bloodlust and her strength. She was taught things like shadow-walking (pretty self-explanatory, walking through shadows to other places), mind-magic (different things, like controlling people and objects with her mind), fighting (she learn't different types of fighting styles from the different people) and also how to break down barriers, like the one on the well.
Venik had decided he was going to stay in Tokyo, so Kagome gave him a permanent place in her house along with Kristen, who was now being courted by Venik again.
But she still hadn't gathered the guts to talk to Naraku and Sesshomaru yet, and Kristen and Venik kept pressuring her to tell them.
"Come on Kagome! They obviously have feelings for you, so tell them!" Kristen exclaimed.
Kagome shook her head. "No, I want to go back through the well and confront Kikyo about everything first. Just so I don't have anything to worry about." Kagome explained.
Venik sighed. "Come on Kagome, don't make excuses. We understand that you are scared, but you need to do it."
"I want to deal with everything in the Feudal Era first." Kagome said.
Vanik and Kristen groaned. God she was stubborn.
"Fine, but as soon as everything is dealt with, you have to tell them. Kagome nodded.
"Deal. Now let's get everything ready, cos tomorrow, we are heading back to the Feudal Era."
I'm sorry if that was a bit rushed. I hope you liked it though!
