I don't own Inu Yasha, but I do own this idea. But, hopefully you wouldn't
take it cause..you don't know where its going! And if you stole it and only
updated after I did and they looked all the same, then that would be REALLY
suspicious, don't ya think? ^_^

Chapter 6: So the Training Begins
Inu Yasha looked out the window at the sky. It was beginning to be late afternoon. 'Dammit! Where are you Kagome!"
Sango and Miroku shared a concerned glance. Kagome still hadn't returned and it had been nearly three hours.
'Oh, I'll never forgive myself if she's hurt!' Sango thought, 'I knew I shouldn't have left her by herself!'
Kaede looked up from the herbs she was mixing. "Inu Yasha, just go and get her if ye are so worried."
"Feh" is all he answered, but still exited the hut. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo all followed after closely.
Searching for Kagome didn't take long. She was still exactly where Sango had left her, sound asleep.
Growing angry (and embarrassed) at being so concerned when she was just sleeping, he shouted at the girl, "Wake up wench!"
The girl didn't make any response.
Shippo jumped into her lap, "Kagome? Kagome?" he began to poke her continuously. "Kagome! Wake up!"
"Why isn't she waking up?" Sango questioned, moving closer to the girl.
"Perhaps we should get her to Kaede's?" Miroku suggested sensibly.
Picking Kagome up (and flinging Shippo off) Inu Yasha ran for Kaede's.
Once there, Kaede quickly examined Kagome and determined what was wrong with her.
"She's sleeping"
They all face faulted. "We KNOW that old woman! Why won't she wake up!"
"Oh" Kaede examined her aura and turned back to them again. "Well, its seems as if she has entered into some sort of meditative trance."
"A what?"
"Well, people sometimes, to think clearly, meditate-"
"I know what that is woman! What does this mean for Kagome?"
"Well, like I said, its usually used to think clearly, or to find answers to something. Or some other purpose. Until her purpose is complete, she'll remain like that."
Miroku and Sango looked at Kagome. Everyone knew what questions she was probably searching for, but how could she find those within herself?
"So, if she doesn't find these things," Shippo asked, " Then she won't ever wake up?"
"I'm afraid so."
*~*~*
"The first thing you must realize Kagome is that as a Miko, purity is your strongest weapon. When you fire your bow with your pure energy, it is enough to stop any demon."
Kagome nodded, listening intently to her other worldly teacher. 'don't keep comparing her to your mom! She's not your mom!...just looks a hell of a lot like her!'
"The thing is not to waste that pure power. Many Miko's before you, including your past self, relied solely on that purity power."
At the mention of Kikyo, Kagome felt a wave of anger wash over her, but pushed it down so that she could concentrate.
"As a priestess, you can harness all of the elemental powers of a sorceress, but without losing your purity. I will teach you how to."
Kagome nodded. This was what she wanted. To become stronger.to avenge her family.
Akemi stopped to think for a moment. She knew that Kagome want revenge on her families murderer, but she was still pure of heart- even with the negative energy trying to engulf her. If she could successfully train her, then she could bottle that anger and use it as a weapon instead of letting it eat at her soul.
"Alright, then lets begin!"
*~*~*
Hours passed as Kagome lay unconscious to the world. While the others tried to keep busy, and not worry about the young Miko, Inu Yasha sat in a corner of the room, watching her. Why was this all happening to her? He assumed that she was searching for answers about her families death, but how could those answers be within herself? She didn't have anything to do with it. What they needed to be doing is tracking down the.killer. His thoughts floated towards that of the undead Miko who apparently had performed the deed. Why would Kikyo do it? Had she turned into nothing but a bloodthirsty zombie, wishing pain on everyone she met, or was there more to it?
He continued to muse over this when he heard his name called. Looking up, he saw Miroku standing near by. "Inu Yasha, dinner is ready. I assure you, Kagome isn't going to go anywhere." The monk joked, trying to make the mood lighter.
"Feh" is all he answered with and got up to get a bowl of the stew Kaede had prepared.
*~*~*
Kagome took a deep breath. She had learned a great deal, and it only seemed like an hour had passed or so.
"Kagome, you have learned everything I have to teach you. You are a quick learner. It is now time for you to return to your friends."
"But-we just started! How could I have learned everything so quickly!"
"Time moves slower in this realm than that of the real world. You have actually been asleep for 10 hours."
"Ohmygod! I didn't know that! Everyone must be freaking out!" Kagome looked around her. "How do I get out of here?" She really didn't want to go flying through the sky anymore, it made her sick.
"Oh, I'll take care of that!" Akemi smiled at her and thought for a moment, then continued, "I probably should tell you one thing first. You need to go home."
"Home?!" Kagome asked, shocked, "There's nothing for me there, Akemi! I can't go hom-"
"You don't understand it right now, but you will! You must return home, there is something very important to you that you must retrieve."
Kagome thought about it, "How do you know if-"
The woman laughed, "Haven't we already gone through this Kagome? Just listen to me, I am you moth- er, Guardian Angel."
"My what? Mother?" Kagome yelled at her, then felt herself becoming light again, "No! Wait! Don't send me away yet! What did you just say!" but Akemi didn't answer her, and the whole world around her began to lighten and fade away.
"No!!" Kagome screamed, sitting straight up. Taking deep breaths, she looked to her left to find everyone sitting around the fire, eating, or were eating. Now they were all staring at her.
"Kagome! Your awake!" Shippo launched himself at Kagome and cuddled into her arms.
"What happened Kagome?" All of them were now looking intently at her.
"Inu Yasha! I need to go home!"
That's it for chapter 6! ^_^ Please please PLEASE Review!!
