STRONGER CHAPTER FOUR-HIGASHIKUNI DOJO

~**~~*~**~~*~**~~*~**~~*~**~~*~**~~*~**~~*~**~~*~**~~*~

Kagome's arms gently played with the early sunlight as she stretched. A gently breeze blew ruffling her now short black hair.

She had been walking in the forest for half an hour and had no idea how much further she had.

'I wonder if I'm strong enough for their strange training.' Kagome doubted herself as she climbed up a hill.

The mountain was soon coming into view and as Kagome continued walking on a barely visible path to its base. Every now and again looked around for the help that Ajibana-jii-chan had told her of.

'..nothing yet. I wonder how Inu-Yasha is doing?'

*****

"INU-YASHA YOU HAVE TO EAT!!!" Shippo yelled holding fish and rice at Inu- Yasha's face.

"I told you whelp I'm not hungry!" Inu-Yasha said pissed off.

'Kagome, I hope your came to your damn senses and is getting your ass back here!' Inu-Yasha thought as Shippo continued to try to feed the still bounded Inu-Yasha. (Bwahahaha I'll never let him free!! :P~)

"Inu-Yasha, Kagome would be very mad if she knew that you were being a baby and not eating!" Shippo said with a 'matter of fact' tone to his young voice.

Inu-Yasha thought of that possibility, he could see her trying to baby feed him; he'd refuse just 'cause of his pride, then she'd beg, and he'd give in and enjoy (in side) being nursed back to health by her.

But there wasn't a snowballs chance in hell that Shippo was going to baby feed him and him actually putting up with it.

"THERE!" Shippo yelled catching Inu-Yasha off guard and slapping a paralyzing scroll on him.

"WHY YOU!! I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU WHEN THEY LET ME GO!!!" Inu-Yasha yelled as Shippo fed him.

"If ever!"

****

'I bet he's yelling right about now,' Kagome thought sweat dropping as she walked on a mountain path.

The path she was on was curved and little by little her body was giving way to the pain in her legs from walking for three days and the heat in the early summer morning.

'STOP AND REST!' her body was screaming at her, but she knew this was the only way.

"I need to make it, I need to find the dojo, for Inu-Yasha" Kagome muttered as every word slowly became louder.

"I HAVE TO BECOME STRONGER FOR HIM!!!" she screamed as she made it up a hill.

She could see a shining light about a hundred yards away she stared at it, as it grew brighter.

'What is that?' She thought as her eyes squinted to get a better view of the suspicious light.

A human's body slowly appeared after the light. It was a boy, around 17 or 18. The boy was shirt less and wearing white long pants and from where Kagome was standing she could tell he was muscular.

'Who is that?' Kagome thought as she noticed the boy was staring at her and motioning her to come over to where he was.

She stared back dumbfound as her face redden slightly and she contemplated about the cute guy asking her to come closer.

'Ajibana-jii-chan told me that those who are strong enough to get the training will be helped, maybe he's help.' Kagome thought as her courage rose and she walked over to the boy fast.

"You're looking for training." The boy said more like a statement then a question. Kagome looked at him taking in his features he was taller than Inu-Yasha, had black hair that was straight and to mid black tied in a messy ponytail.

"Yes" Kagome said nodding

"I am Kagome Higurashi, nice to meet you." She said bowing

"Feh, I doubt you are worthy enough for my training." The boy said his voice deep, calm and arrogant, not matching his handsome face.

"Well we mustn't waste time here, I need to see if you are truly strong enough for my training." The boy scowled as Kagome began to feel her temper rise.

The boy noted this and with a flick of his arm they disappeared.

*****

Kagome and the boy appeared in front of two large light blue gates.

Kagome looked a little shocked from the strange ride to where ever they were.

"Come this way." The boy said as the gate open on it's own.

There was dark green grass that framed a large house that rested atop of a hill. It was so beautiful Kagome had to gasp.

The boy led Kagome up a path and up the stone steps to the house.

"I'm sorry to ask you but what is your name?" Kagome asked sheepishly.

The boy had been rude to her when they met and she had been courteous he at least should have been the same.

"It's Gombei Higashikuni," he said as they climbed the steps. "And welcome to the Higashikuni dojo."

Kagome finally saw the large house, or rather small castle. It was beautiful. Who ever must have designed this house must be rich and some warlord.

There were large double doors and a closed walkway that encircled the entire house.

The clearing that the house rested upon gave you the view of the whole mountain and village at its base.

Before she could finish gaping at the house and landscape Gombei spoke again.

"You may eat something and after that I will test you that is," Gombei said his voice cold and icy as Kagome turned to see his dark green eyes. "if you are much too frightened to go through it."

Kagome clenched her fist as she stared at him. "Don't worry Higashikuni- sensei."
