"Soon Inuyasha will be mine! BWAHAHAHAHAH!" Admiral pushes a button on the console in front of him. A whirring sound is heard along with several popping noises and explosions. "Drat, look like Inuyasha won't be mine any time soon"

Admiral: 4 chapters in one day!

*Admiral lets out a victory cry*

Tigi: Why don't ---

Admiral: Don't you start with me Tigi, or you will find yourself somewhere worse than where I put you last time.

Tigi shudders from the memory

Admiral: Anyway here is the forth chapter, enjoy!

Mind over Matter Chapter 4 - Powers Unknown *************************

Days passed, and Inuyasha was steadily learning. Most of it was boring, but there were good parts, like the history and legends that he read that made it worth it. Little did he know, five hundred years in the years in the future, Kagome was thinking the same thing. "This is great," Kagome thought. She was extremely pleased with herself. She had come back up in her scores, and had finally defeated the mound of work that had been piling up. She was completing some math work, but was stuck on one of the problems. "I hate math," she thought to herself, then closed the book and started on her history homework. "History work is always easier when you're living it," Kagome thought to herself. As she couldn't help but wonder why Inuyasha had allowed her to come back and stay for a month. "The way he had looked before he left was as if he was going of to fight some demon. I hope he is alright." Inuyasha laid the textbook down with a thud. "All done. Now what?"

'Now we begin the fun part of your training. I am going to teach you how to fight, priest style.'

"Feh, what's so good about that?"

'Well, for one it involves a staff, so you will learn how to turn a piece of wood into a deadly weapon. Two, you'll be able to shoot purifying energy at demons, and three, this power won't desert you during the new moon.'

That last point sold Inuyasha. He wasn't able to contain his enthusiasm at learning something that would help him when he was at his weakest.

"When do we start?"

'Right now.' With that, the voice took over and guided Inuyasha to the spot on the wall and reopened the hole. He reached into its depths and pulled out a full sized staff with a small green crystal at the top surrounded by wood bindings, but what made it special was the crystal wasn't touching any of the bindings. The crystal floated in the center, as if it was suspended in a liquid, never touching the sides, nor falling out. Inuyasha let out a small gasp of awe. He wasn't able to contain himself and asked

"Mom left this for me?"

'Yes Inuyasha, she left it for you. Now, come outside and let me teach you some basic moves.'

Inuyasha complied and left his home, coming out into a clearing ready to practice. The voice was very helpful, and by the end of the day, Inuyasha had full mastery of the staff and had even defeated a low-level demon with it. When he returned home, he was bubbling over with self-confidence and pride. He wanted to do more, but the voice told him to rest, saying tomorrow would bring spells and energy attacks, and he would need his rest. Inuyasha begrudgingly complied. The next morning the voice woke him up early.

'Time to get up lazy, we are nearing the end of your training and I am going to pick up speed and vigor.'

Inuyasha got up, stretched and went to retrieve his staff.

'Today you will learn how to manipulate you aura to where you can safely wield your powers without killing yourself. Now I want you to concentrate on your aura.'

Inuyasha felt deep inside, and was surprised to find a strange source of power residing in his heart.

'Good, now release that power.'

Inuyasha felt deeper into it, until he released, causing a surge of power to coarse through his body.

'Perfect. Now that that is over, try concentrating that energy into a ball, the shoot it at that small ball' the voice instructed, indicating a target placed at the other end of the cave. Inuyasha felt the energy, but couldn't control it very well. He finally managed to collect some of it at his hand and form a small glowing ball of purple light. He mentally pushed it, willing it to go to the target. The small orb left his hand and flew with incredible speed at the target. The small orb collided with the target and obliterated it, leaving a rather large smoking crater where the target had been.

'Great job Inuyasha! This is going easier than I thought it would, and weather or not you want to admit it, you are a great student, and one of the most powerful people on the planet. Now all you have left is to study the three books of power.'

Inuyasha let out his usual 'Feh' and went to retrieve the three books his mom had left along with his staff.
