Kagome bent her body down to the little girl, "Rin? Is that you? Look at you, you've grown."
She smiled to her brightly nodding, "Yes I have! I haven't seen you in so long Kagome Lord Sesshoumaru and Jaken wouldn't let me come see you they said that something that happened recently and things have changed after you fought Naraku."
Jaken suddenly jumped in front of her with his staff, "Back away Kagome you know the terms Sesshoumaru had put since you display that power!"
Kagome staggered back for a moment then looked away casually, "Where is Lord Sesshoumaru Jaken?"
He narrowed his eyes at her when suddenly a whip flew towards her causing her to jump and evade. The area hit now showed Sesshoumaru as he jumped at her taking out his sword quickly yet she hardly escaped every attack. She tried to rationalize as they stood she held the sword with her hands in a praying position, "Lord Sesshoumaru! Please listen to me!"
"I told you already did I not? After that battle that we would not meet under the terms of those deaths. You saving my life was a one time thing."
Kagome stopped for a moment angry at herself for having to use what she had left, "Yes I did save your life once and so you are in my debt I am asking you for something."
He stopped the tip of his sword pressing against the dirt. He arched his eyebrow, "What would that be? We spoke of this once before I am no entitled neither are you it depends on what you ask of me."
She bowed respectfully pressing her hands together on the ground, "Well you train me? For my world, my realm do you remember when we agreed on those terms and I told you I would be leaving and such. I told you everything well you, please train me."
He looked at her and sheathed his sword slowly glancing quickly to Jaken and Rin then back to her. He asked, "How long do you have?"
She was surprised by how quickly he was willing to give in and help her, "One month."
He sneered at her in disgust and distaste then turned away slowly, "we'll see what we can do with you in that time."
Kagome smiled as he walked away knowing he was being actually kind. She turned to Rin who instantly seized her hand in happiness, "You are coming with us!"
She nodded smiling to her while she dragged her next to Sesshoumaru. Kagome stood there carefully glancing to him for a moment then spoke, "You have been keeping up with the mind link or have you been blocking them out."
He glanced to her submissively then spoke calmly, "I have been keeping up yes."
She nodded then turned away, "then you saw everything the abilities I have and such."
He nodded to her once again not mentioning any words. Carefully he glanced to her clarifying, "I am not going to be lenient with you, you may die with my training Kagome…"
She grinned as he spoke her name then nodded to him positively, "I can do it, I wouldn't worry so much about my endurance."
They continued to walk carefully with her eyes straight ahead a lingering worry for her brother arriving.
Neji walked around the town after leaving the hospital where Gai continued to mourn over Lee. He had been looking for Kagome and he couldn't find her anywhere. He had gone to see her brother and asked Gai yet he seemed not in the mood to talk.
Kakashi was gone also and anyone else he asked gave no answer or had no idea what he was talking about. With a sigh he turned the corner walking farther and farther away. He needed to apologize to her and he would like if anything to talk and have a few words.
He didn't know much about her but he was sure that he would like too and if she had a curse mark she shouldn't be wandering. Stopping he saw Kagome's team mates Miroku and Lym'ta standing and training. He walked over calling, "Hey you!"
Miroku turned for a moment seemingly from the look on his face he didn't like him but he didn't care as he asked momentarily, "Where is Kagome?"
Lym'ta turned suddenly ignoring the attitude though he was sure she was ready to slug him, "We don't know! But why would you want to know! She can handle herself fine."
Miroku turned away rudely muttering, "Now if you'll excuse us."
They went back to fighting each other yet holding back. He questioned if he was training her and though it weird yet turned to walk away. They didn't know where she was? Where could she have gone? He didn't have the patience to wait for one month to talk to her again.
Continuing he turned see Naruto walking out of a ramen shop he sure as hell wasn't going to talk to him as he turned and walking away in another direction. Swallowing he took a moment jumping up over the houses standing on the bridge looking to the water attempting to brainstorm where she had gone.
He was honestly worried these feeling he almost felt guilty for feeling yet he smiled at the thought continuing. Resting a hand to his head he turned glancing around hoping the Uchiha had woken up maybe and would be able to tell him though he knew that they weren't on the greatest terms and being her older brother it would most likely lead to something like an argument and a battle in the hospital. He sighed deciding to give up on it all, he felt like he was stalking her.
