My Love Inuyasha: Hey there! So Sorry for not having this out sooner. I'll Explain why after the

chapter so you can read!

Disclaimer: Well, now, If I owned Inuyasha do you think I would be writing this? I DIDN'T THINK

SO!

Chapter 4:Lose Of A Love And The Plan Forms

The next day, morning of the second day of training for Kagome, she awoke very early compared

to what she normally does. The sun had just started to rise and she guessed it to be about 6:30 –

7:00 a.m. or so. She got up, noticing that she was still in her training clothes, decided to go take a

bath and change into new clothes. She had to walk a little ways before she was able to find a

servant to help her out in the castle. The servant gave her directions to the nearest hot spring on

the castle grounds and gave her fresh towel like cloth for her to dry off with. She had left her bag

somewhere but wasn't sure exactly where she had put it and wasn't even sure if it was even with

her at the castle so she would have to deal without having her soaps and shampoos.

She took a long nice morning bath while watching the sun rise and when she was done with that,

started training again with what she left off with yesterday. When she heard her father wake, she

was outside of her room in no time and waiting for him to get done with what he had to do.

"Ah, good morning Kagome. Did you sleep well in your room after all that training or did your sore

muscles keep you from a peaceful sleep?"

"Actually, my muscles aren't that sore and I slept fine. Are we going to train today? I have about

a day and a half before Inuyasha starts to wonder why I'm later, where I am and then goes off

trying to find me from my time…err…my other time."

"I was thinking that today we work on miko training and tomorrow you can have the day off before

you have to leave to meet up with your friends. I want you to try your miko powers in both human

and youkai form then keep practicing everything you have learned so you don't forget in both

forms."

"Sounds good to me. When do we start?"

"As soon as your ready, witch I can see, you are already ready. Have you eaten anything or do

you just not feel hungry?" he asked with a small grin as his face hopping that she would notice her

eating habits change with her change as well as other things that would show in time.

"I really don't feel hungry. I don't know why, though. Does it have something to do with my

youkai blood that has been released?"

"Hai. Youkai, full youkai, don't have to eat as much or as often as humans and hanyous do. We

store more energy than they do with what little we do eat. In your human form, you will eat and

act like you used to but you will have more energy and power in that form then before as well as

your heighten senses from the youkai blood."

"So when I'm with the others they won't notice a difference in me from before the change. I think

I'm getting it. Although, it's very confusing."

"You'll understand in time, I promise. Ok, I want you to transport us to the spot that we were

yesterday. We will train there from now on."

She nods and begins to concentrate on the transport spell. It went a lot faster than the first time

she tried a transport spell with all her new power that has surfaced and at her finger tips, literally.

She got them there in under 10 seconds. Her father set up targets for her and produced a bow

and arrows out of no where. The bow was beautifully made with engravings on the handle, except

where the hand is to go, and jewels that decorated it. The engravings are carved out of the wood

but filled in with god to made it nice and smooth to the touch as well as easier to read what the

engravings told. The engravings told of spells that could be used to make the wielder of the bow

more powerful as well as Kagome's name. It was like the engravings were a letter to her starting

from the top with her name and her mother's name 'Shiori' ending it at the bottom of the bow.

The arrows were just plain arrows that she always used while with her friends.

"Your mother made this bow for you when she started to feel your miko power growing as you

grew inside her. She was able to find a very old and wise miko who knew the spells it's engraved

with to help put them there. She wanted you to have it when you knew how to use your powers.

That time is now. The arrows are plain because you will eventually be able to create energy arrows

out of just your miko power but you will always need a bow. Keep this bow with you at all times

and make sure you have arrows until you can make energy arrows without a problem. Shall we

begin with the training?"

"Hai." With that said, they started to train using Kagome's miko powers and the targets. She had

to get better with her aim if she was to use her miko power in battle so first thing was target

practice, then using her miko power in the arrows and the last thing to be taught would be how to

create energy arrows and use them. After that was complete, she would have to learn how to

purify youkai with her powers using a bow with arrows(wood or energy), her hands, a force from

within herself to throw the power at them and how to use her senses to find a youkai then purify

them from a far distance away from herself. That could be done without even seeing the youkai

just as long as she knows what it feels like, their aura, and where the youkai is.

~*~*~*~*~Meanwhile with the Inuyasha gang~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha was sitting on the biggest branch of the Goshinboku tree thinking about, what else,

Kikyou and Kagome when he smelled it. It was that damned wimpy wolf again. He knew he was

coming this way before he even saw the cloud of dust heading his way. 'No doubt Shippou also

smelled him and told Miroku and Sango for here they come. They probably came out here to make

sure I don't kill the wimpy wolf. Keh! I'll do what I want!'

As Kouga skidded to a halt, he noticed that Kagome wasn't around. He took a sniff of the air and

could only find a day or so scent of her, nothing too recent. "Oi, Inu-kuro, what did you do to

Kagome? She's not here!"

"I didn't do anything!" he said as he jumped down from his tree. "She had to go home to HER

home not this one! She'll be back!"

"Hai and then I can get her away from you, Inu-kuro! She will come with me when she gets back!"

"Who says?! You will never take her!" By this time, they are inches from each others faces and

growling at the other. Sango and Miroku both went running to pull them apart before they could

do anything to harm the other or themselves.

"If Kagome-chan found out we let you two fight again, she would be not only upset at us but at

you two as well! She doesn't want you two to fight, so stop!"

"Sango is right. You can't keep fighting all the time like this."

"Keh!" is all they get from Inuyasha as he crosses his arms over his chest and looks away

stubbornly.

"I honestly don't trust your word, Inu-kuro. I'll be back in a few days to see if she has returned.

Until then I'll be going to look for her. I have a bad feeling that something isn't right." With that he

took off towards were Kagome's scent was the most recent. The well.

Inuyasha had no clue what Kouga was talking about so he just left it alone. If anything was weird,

he would have sensed it for being an Inu youkai, or at least half Inu youkai. What Inuyasha didn't

know was that Kouga had a sense, more like an instinct or a special feeling, that he got when

someone that's related to him appears, disappears or is in danger and right now, he was getting

one of those feels that just seemed to say 'something isn't right'. None of them knew that Kagome

is related to Kouga and a full blooded youkai so no one guessed that it could be that but for Kouga,

he knew something wasn't right. He had this feeling for the past day and thought that it maybe

caused by Kagome being in trouble, since he does love her, so he went to find her.

At the well he noticed a full blooded youkai's scent with Kagome's Sakura blossoms and wild

berries scent mixed together as if their paths crossed there and he immediately recognized it as his

dead sister's mate. 'What would he want with Kagome? He doesn't know her, or does he? I know

he had a daughter but she disappeared for almost 15 years now. No one has heard or seen her

since then.'

He rushed over to the castle of the Southern Land's Lord as fast as he could. It was mid day by

the time he got there and when he did, he found Kagome's scent all over the place but it was

different. It wasn't just Sakura blossoms and wild berries, now it had a spice undertone to it with a

hint of sweet sugar. It smelled a little like himself and what his sister smelled like with something

else in it as well.

He kept tracking the scent to it's most recent area witch was inside the castle. It seemed to vanish

in the hallway next to the room she slept in last night along with Rei in another room. A servant

passed by and he grabbed her to see if she might know where Kagome went. It was a youkai so

she would be able to smell Kagome's scent and know who he was talking about just by its mention.

"Where have Rei and the girl that's scent is here gone?"

"Lord Reijiro and Lady Kagome have gone out training. They should be back by sun down."

'So, Kagome is with him but why?' "Is there a place that they went to that I can go right know? I

cannot wait until they get back."

"They went to where Lord Reijiro had his training when he was little. I believe it's a place not to

far from here that is just dirt and is bare from wild life."

"Arigatou." He left right after that word fell from his mouth. He knew exactly where they were. He

had gone there many times before with his sister when Rei trained her to use what powers she

had.

As he approached, he got Kagome's scent again and again it had that spice undertone with the hint

of sweet sugar and that same thing he couldn't place. He had to find out why it changed and how

it could smell like a full blooded youkai would smell. He was positive that she was human before

but know with this new scent, he wasn't to sure. There was only one spell that could disguise a full

blooded youkai's scent, aura and physical features and the only person who knew that spell was

Rei. Everything was pointing to Rei, that he had something to do with this.

When Kagome got into his view, he stopped dead in his tracks and stared. She was beautiful if not

down right gorgeous. She was wearing an outfit much like what he saw Sango wear when fighting

that showed all her curves and filled out in all the right places leaving nothing for the imagination.

She was a lot more muscular than what he remembered and taller too. He could tell that it was

her, though. He just knew, even with her new looks and scent.

~*~*~*~*~

Kagome was so rapped up in her training that she didn't notice Kouga's familiar aura or that there

were two jewel shards headed in her direction. She did, however, feel like someone's eyes were

staring right at her and it was getting annoying. She turned around to where the feeling came and

saw Kouga standing there staring at her with his mouth wide open caching flies. She took a deep

sniff of the air, already getting used to her youkai senses, and found that Kouga's scent had a rich

spice and wilderness smell to it making it seem as if he was the wilderness. She found out that her

father smelled faintly of wild berries an a hint of something she couldn't place before they left to

train. She wanted to know what he smelled like and did it as discreetly as possible.

"Kouga! What are you doing here?" asked Rei seeing his daughter, using her youkai senses to get

used to them, not speaking or making a move to speak.

"I wanted to find Kagome. I had a feeling something wasn't right and when I tried to find her

where she would normally be with Inu-kuro, she wasn't there. I didn't take his answer so I went

looking for her. I ended up here."

"I see. Kagome, do you mind explaining to him what is going on. I know we have to at some

point in time but I think he will take it better if he heard it from you."

"Hai." She nods as she says this then walks over to Kouga so she wouldn't have to talk to loud.

"Kouga-kun, how can I put this? Ok, to make it simple and easy, I am a full blooded youkai and

Rei is my father and my mother was you sister. We are related. I just found out yesterday which

was my 17th birthday. Everything has been explained to me and right know I was training to use

my magic as well as my miko powers. I will also learn how to fight." Kouga's eyes widened as he

heard what she had to say. 'So that's why she smells like what my sister did. That means I can't

be her mate. Chikusho!' he thought to himself.

"So, we are related. That's why I felt that something was wrong. Rei must have taken the spell off

of you and I could tell you were somehow part of my flesh and blood. So, I'm your uncle.

Hmmm…I think I like it better this way. Now I can help keep Inu-kuro off you since we are related.

*gets evil grin on face* I like that a lot."

"Kouga-kun, please promise me you won't tell Inuyasha or anyone else about this. I want to tell

them myself and only when I'm ready to. Please promise me that."

"Alright, I promise but can I come around more often now that this little bit of info. is out?"

"You want to spend time with me, am I right?"

"Hai, I want to know you better. I want to see if you have some of the things my sister had."

"Fine. But if Inuyasha doesn't want you around that much, there isn't anything I can do."

"You know Rei, your enemies will come after Kagome when news gets around that she's your

daughter and that you actually found her."

"I know. That's one of the reasons she's being trained. She can use her powers and her fighting

to protect herself."

"Well now that I know she's fine, I guess I'll leave but I'll be back in a few days at that village you

seem to stay at when you're not finding the jewel shards."

"Alright, Kouga-kun. I'll be back there tomorrow afternoon." With that he left.

"He seemed to take that pretty well." He father commented.

"I think he was really upset but didn't want to show it in front of us. I don't think he wants to be

labeled as weak and if he showed his emotions of probably hurt and pain, he thought he would be

looked at as weak. He's like Inuyasha when it comes to that. Neither one of them want to show

their weaknesses to anybody."

"You certainly know how to read people."

"I can do it to them because I have known them for about two years now and can tell what and

how they think. I learned it easily while being with Inuyasha although I still get puzzled by what

he does and acts like sometimes. I don't think I'll ever figure him out fully." She shakes her head

at this. "I want to train some more."

"Alright. Getting a little antsy, are we?"

"I was doing good until he showed up. Does it hurt that I want to get better at this?"

"I guess not. You are full it, aren't you?"

"What?"

"I would say determination as well as to prove to yourself and others that you are better than a

certain undead miko. I think you want to become stronger so that Inuyasha won't say that you're

weak any more."

"See, you can read people too. Actually, that's half of the reason I want to train. The other half is

just to see what I can do and how far I can go before I'm pushing it."

"You want to become stronger and your determination is what's going to get it for you besides the

fact that you train hard."

"Ok, can we get back to it now?"

"Alright already. Lets start again."

~*~*~*~*~At a castle far away from anyone~*~*~*~*~

"So, Kagome is the long lost daughter of Reijiro the Southern Land's Lord. I'll have to get her. I

failed once I won't do it again. That's it Kanna, you may go."

"Hai, Master Naraku."

'I'll have to keep an eye on her from now on. I must have her and put her under my control. I

have the perfect plan.' He thinks as he gets an evil grin on his face and an evil gleam in his cold

red eyes.
