Mind over Matter Chapter 3 - Training ******************
"Well, we're here, now what?"
'Patience, Inuyasha, patience. I am trying to remember where the books are.'
"What books?"
'The three books of power.'
"The what?"
'The three books of power that your mother left for, which should be around here somewhere.'
"So what, what do they do?" Inuyasha continued to rummage around the cave.
'There is one for each area of priest powers and contain instruction manuals and spells.'
"And these areas are?"
'Destruction, healing, and change.'
"And why are we looking for them?"
'They are part of your training.'
"Feh, its not like I could use them."
'You'll see.here they are.' Inuyasha pushed a section on the wall and an opening presented itself it the wall. 'See, I told you they were here.'
"So now what?"
'Well, now that I know everything is here, we begin your training' The opening slid shut and the demon side took over and guided Inuyasha out of the cave that had served as his home 55 years ago.
"Where are we going?"
'To the village,' his demon side explained.
"Why there?"
'To start your training,' he replied.
When Inuyasha reached the village the response from the villagers was the same as it has always been in his life. Some had a panic attack, some spread gossip and insults about him behind his back, some tried to attack him, and others simply told him to leave. It hurt, and his cold anger sprang to life.
"Why are you making me go through this?"
'Anger management,' the voice said, 'I want you to wait here, and when the villagers attack do nothing but defend yourself. Empty your mind of all feeling and thought, and concentrate on defense.'
The villagers had spread the word of his arrival, and were preparing to attack. Soon men armed with pitchforks and other such farming tools were charging at Inuyasha. Inuyasha simply stood there, waiting. The first one to reach Inuyasha had a sword, and was obviously not trained to use it. Inuyasha easily caught the sword and removed the weapon from his hands in one move. The sword was sent flying into a tree. Inuyasha then blocked the man's punches and grabbed a hold of him and tossed him away. The next few were armed with pitchforks and were one by one similarly disarmed and tossed away. Inuyasha had succeeded in clearing his mind, and the only thing that filled it was the defense tactics he was using.
'Good Inuyasha, you are making progress,' the voice cheered on.
One of the villagers had gotten smarter and went to retrieve a bow. He came out, strung the bow and fired at Inuyasha. Inuyasha heard it coming, and caught it with his hand. The archer was surprised at the speed the half demon demonstrated, and realized that Inuyasha wouldn't be stopped with regular weaponry. Being the village head, or sort of one, he told the villagers to stop. The villagers one by one picked themselves up from where Inuyasha had randomly thrown them, exhausted from battling him. They regrouped behind their unofficial leader.
The leader stepped forward and asked, "What do you want half demon?"
'Leave them Inuyasha, they have served their purpose.' Inuyasha smirked then turned around and calmly walked out of the village, back to his home. The villagers were left standing in wonder at what he had been there for. Eventually they got over it and resumed their daily tasks.
Inuyasha pushed the vines out of the way and entered into his home.
'Very good Inuyasha, you have mastered your feelings, and that will help you immensely in battle. Now we must move on towards finishing your education'
"Do I have to?"
'Of course Inuyasha, you are a Demon Lord and you need to fit the bill. Plus not all of it is bad, just the first part.' Inuyasha pulled out a book and blew the dust off of it.
'These skills will be important if you ever want to rule over the Western Lands, and may even be useful in your current quest.'
"Feh," was all Inuyasha said, and he sat down to read.

Admiral: *smashes keyboard over Tigi's head*
Admiral: Sorry about that folks. Tigi here sometimes needs a good bashing
Tigi: @_@
Admiral: Anyway, please review, I know this is a bit complex with the changes, but it will all come together soon. Next chapter shouldn't be just about Inuyasha, but Kagome as well.
Chapter 4 - Powers Unknown: Inuyasha opened the old book up. The book felt strange, as if it held a power all of its own. 'Your mother Inuyasha, was a priestess, meaning you inherited her powers. All you have to do is control your demon powers enough to allow the power to come through without harming you.'
