Okie here is the next chapter...sorry i didn't go much into detail with her training...
The next morning kagome felt a youkai moving quickly in her direction. 'Feels like the welcoming committee.' Kagome watched as kouga appeared, first as a speck on the horizon before making it a few steps in front of them. "How is my woman doing?" kagome hugged him. "I'm doing fine kouga how are you and the boys?" "We are doing great. Now where is dog breath?" kagome giggled quietly at how kouga was sniffing the air around them. "He is not here…I have been traveling by myself, actually I was just going to see you guys. I have an ookami that needs training." "Who would that be kagome?" She was engulfed in a blue light, when it died down her hair went to her mid thighs, her skin got paler, she got a bit taller and had a white wolf tail with three black rings. "Me." Kouga looked her up and down. "Lets get started then, you have to do what we say, follow our traditions, and work hard."
Three weeks later.
Kagome ran with her small pack. She was team two and was the alpha of the team, meaning everyone ran behind her. She wore a white fur dress that went to her mid thighs, and a black fur cloak that covered her bare shoulders. Her hair was in a high ponytail showing off her pointed ears, white and black fur boots similar to Ayame's, and a black breast plate. She led her group back into the mountains after surveying the area and killing all the lower leveled demons that got to close. Kouga's group was in charge of hunting, shippo and Ayame were preparing the wood because Ayame didn't want to go out. She jumped upon the rocks, which were jutting out of the ground and the mountain, toward the cave entrance. Greeting shippo with a kiss on the cheek and pulling Ayame toward the trail that led to the hot springs further up. 'After she realized I was never getting with Kouga she turned out to be a good ally here.' As they walked up the trail, shippo following after with the bathing supplies, the talked about nothing yet everything only pausing to say hi to the many chorus of "Hello sister" kagome received. As they reached the spring and started to disrobe they fell into a comfortable silence. Kagome lowered herself into the water with a sigh and shippo jumped in. Ayame was the first to speak. "Imoto do you really have to leave tomorrow." Kagome giggled and nodded. "I'm sorry but I need to continue my training and you know that…I'll visit after I'm done okay." Ayame nodded sadly as kagome washed shippo's hair and tail as well as her own. "Ayame do you want me to was your hair?" Ayame nodded and sighed as kagome worked the shampoo into her hair and tail, pulling the knots out with her fingers gently. They washed off their hair and dried off putting back on their clothes and gathering their supplies. By the time they made it back down it was time for dinner; they ate the deer meat and settled onto the skins set out for them. Kagome slept in the center with shippo curled onto her stomach, Ayame and kouga to her right and Hana an orphaned pup, curled into her back. 'I feel bad for leaving Hana but Ayame will take care of her for sure.
The next morning kagome set off determined to cut her trip to the well in half, before she left kouga parted with his jewel shards and kagome absorbed them releasing another bit of her soul for Kikyo. She gathered her reiki at her feet, a trick she learned from kouga, and took off faster than before shippo barely holding on to her as she ran. She ran through the night cradling shippo in her arms who had grown to the size of a ten year old from his training. She ran at full speed for two days and one night. On the second night they had to make camp. Shippo went to go fishing from a stream kagome at sensed and to gather water as kagome set up their sleeping furs and the fire. Going back to her human for as she did
Kagome sat on the furs waiting for shippo to pop up. The fire crackled warmly in front of her, the flames engaging in their dance as the wind played its song in the trees causing kagome's eyes to droop. She would have fallen asleep if it were not for the rustling in the branches behind her. She spread out her aura only for it to clash against a more volatile one. She stood up quickly facing in the direction of the sound her hands causing them glow a pale blue as a bow and arrow made entirely out of reiki was formed. Her face went cold and emotionless as she stared "Show and explain yourself now…I don't like friendly fire." Out of the shadows came a small girl followed by who could only have been Sesshomaru, Jaken and A-Un . "This Sesshomaru explains himself to no one; instead explain how you sensed this one. I had myself masked." Kagome smiled on the inside as her weapon dispersed in light and gathered at the palm of her hand before soaking into her skin. "You presence might have been hidden but anyone would have felt that killing intent." Her staring contest with Sesshomaru was broken by rin coughing. She looked over to rin and pulled her toward the fire. "Oh rin your soaked and you have a slight fever…what happened?" rin looked down for a moment before speaking. "I was walking by the river and the ground broke off and I fell in. Sesshomaru-sama was looking for a clearing to make camp and we came upon this one." Kagome nodded and turned to shippo's pack pulling out a hakama pants and haori top. "Here these should fit you…let's get you out of those wet clothes." At that moment shippo walked into the clearing before turning around. "I'll get more fish." This caused rin to giggle as she changed. When she was finished kagome put water on the fire to boil. The haori was a pale blue and the hakamas were black with blue trimming. They fit rin perfectly going toe her ankles and covering her arms. Kagome's hands glowed a green as she placed one on Rin's forehead and the other on Rin's chest causing Sesshomaru to grab her arms. "Sesshomaru I'm just going to heal her fever…will you unhand me?" Sesshomaru let go of her his eyes not straying from her as he sat down. "Hn…" she replaced her hands on rin. The green pulsing warmly and lulling rin to sleep as kagome removed her fever. "There we go." Kagome set rin down on the furs and made some tea for everyone. She poured the tea as shippo returned again and began cleaning the fish. "Shippo would you like some tea?" "Sure mama." She then asked Jaken who ignored as did Sesshomaru; rin though accepted it happily when kagome woke her up. As everyone sipped their tea, for kagome gave them some anyways, kagome applied herbs to the fish before cooking them over the fire. Everyone but Sesshomaru ate and kagome put them to bed. Shippo curling into kagome's stomach and rin cuddling with shippo as well. When their breathing had evened out kagome slipped from the bed. Kagome strapped on her sword and went toward a small clearing five minutes behind the river. Kagome created a soundproof barrier and begun to go through the steps of her sword forms then went through the different ways to use her miko powers, shaping and reshaping her reiki into orbs and disks as well as platforms. After a few hours she went back to the camp and begun cleaning up. She woke shippo and they left a few furs and some fish then were on their way before sunrise leaving rin to wake up with them gone.
