Kagome cursed as she slid down the hill. She turned her head anxiously to hear anything though her eyes were blindfolded. Quickly she turned spinning hearing the caw of a bird landing on the very branch she heard it. Reaching behind her back she took out a kunai whispering softly, "Amiko…"
The kunai grew to a length of a sword while she spun backwards. She heard a sharp sound to her side moving only to fell the acid of Sesshoumaru's whip slap against her side throwing her into a boulder causing it to explode. She stopped the rocks landing against her in small pellets. Gripping her arm to which she landed on she shifted her head.
She was feeling light headed but she had to prove herself worthy didn't she? She had to prove herself that she could do this and she had to stop the damn curse mark she had gotten. Spinning she burrowed herself into the ground Sesshoumaru instantly appearing his whip smashing into the ground yet it proved to be a substitution. She jumped over head her fists together over her head and thrashed down to hit his back and slam him to the ground.
Instead he appeared behind her kicking her down to the ground. She spun proving to be yet another substitution, her eyes narrowed as a group of her appearing with their kunai like blades spinning it to smack against it yet he held them off throwing them into opposite sides. The real Kagome spun up into the air yet he blocked her attack. His sonic attitude bothered her as she knew it was there. She didn't need her eyes to know what he was looking like.
His attitude never changed.
Landing on the ground she felt herself wobble. Spinning to and fro she heard him speak to her coldly; "Take off your blind fold that shall be sufficient for your beginning course. Tend to your wounds and later on we will continue."
He sheathed his sword turning on his heels and walking away as if the rotting mess around them was normal. Looking around she took a step forward falling to her knees. Her eyes dulled to a grey as she nearly fell face first into the dirt ground.
Resting her hands on the soil before her she dug her nails into the mess hearing Rin call to her carrying a basket of first aid supplies. Turning she whispered, "So the old Lord does have a heart."
She scoffed laying her head on the fallen tree before her. Rin stopped setting the things down her smile never fading causing her to sadden as to her being so accustomed to seeing such pain and such violence. Placing her hands over the little girl's she whispered, "Go ahead I'll handle this myself, no point in leaving it if I am only to end up the same way, don't you agree Rin?"
She smiled gleefully as if not understanding what she was saying then turned leaving. Her chest heaved as suddenly the charm of the seal took her over. She gritted her teeth suddenly clawing out to the air. The seal was activating, why now? Why was it reacting to her when she was in a moment of calm?
Turning her head she gripped her neck moving into a fetal position though her bones protesting loudly. She screamed out suddenly feeling the tears of her skin disappearing. The pain slowly began to subside as she took a moment her eyes dissolving to white pools and then leaving an outline of white in her eyes.
Turning her head she stood up carefully looking to her hands seeing the worn fingers yet she felt rejuvenated. Whispering to herself she smiled, "I guess I should be thankful to his soul? Yes perhaps, I am after all to be an avenger I'll need all the power I can get."
Stretching a little she spun around seeing Sesshoumaru standing his ground his eyes narrowed to her as if she was the plague. Walking forward she asked, "What is it?"
"You were writhing in pain; I saw when this occurred so tell me have you agreed to be succumbed to evil?"
She suddenly felt a rush of anger fill her but she didn't know why, she allowed it to dissolve on its own as her cheeks flushed. She whispered, "I need this and you should not be one to talk now should you Lord Sesshoumaru. You act on your own personal agenda and I do the same."
He arched an eyebrow pointing out cynically, "Your affairs are not of my concern I just wish to know what you'll make use of, the things I teach you."
"I'll use them to win, that is the only purpose, and an Uchiha does not lose."
He smirked almost approvingly to his answer shifting his head then nodded walking towards her reaching for his sword smiling sadistically, "Then lets continue."
She shifted her leg back, "As you wish."
Miroku turned his head as Lym'ta continued to attempt to perfect the new jutsu he had taught her to ward off any purification attacks Kagome may bring at her. Crossing his legs as he leaned back against the tree closing his eyes he whispered to Kagome who he heard, "Are you truly going to be a vessel of evil Kagome, Another dark priestess?"
He sought her now as a hypocrite. Someone who used to fight against such darkness now becoming the living embodiment of one, he would surely punch her if she was before him but then again that would most likely bring a rather unwanted discussion. With the power of the shikon jewel inside of her there was no way, no way in hell Lym'ta was to win, but why shoot down such a bright star.
Turning his head to her he saw her smile to him besides the fact that she was ready to faint from the strain of her body. Standing carefully he raised his hand the wind tunnel once in his hand gone. Shutting his eyes he whispered, "We can no longer be friends Kagome; it seems our values have come to the test."
Lym'ta turned to him quickly asking, "Did you say something Miroku?"
He jumped then looked away sadly. Smiling at best he nodded, "Yes, I am going to teach you how to steal the soul of someone who was once departed."
Her eyes shown brightly she cheered while he turned, "Kagome, this attack I have saved in a case of you. I do hope things change in time."
