Kagome dashed across the wooden floor, her feet making no noise as she ran. She ran toward her targets she had set up across the room, the targets were to resemble the 3 she was going to kill. While she was still running she quickly bent down and pulled a 4 inch knife from a strap that was around her thigh.
She kept it concealed behind her hand and passed the targets. There she stopped, and bent down as the dummies fell over, with the sand pouring out from cuts she had made. She stood smiling at what she had done.
For the past week and a half she had practiced for a grueling 18 hours. She had to perfect everything. Her movements her attacks, Everything. And she was fairly pleased at what she had accomplished. She had met her goal, to become good enough to kill 3 at a time, but she had gone off the charts.
She sighed, and grabbed a towel from the rack by the door and began to wipe the sweat from her neck and brow. Then she replaced it back on the rack. Picking up her water bottle she headed over to the doors on the side of the little gym. She drank, then opened the door to pull out a broom.
She finished off the last of her water and threw the empty bottle across the room. Then she proceeded to the piles of spilt sand to sweep it up. Sweeping up the sand into pails that were to be thrown outside, took a lot of patience. It was hard work, long, but she finished.
She was finished for today. That was the last hour of her self-trained lessons.
'18 hours is not enough' she told her-self, but her body told her differently.
Her legs felt as if bruises had been placed upon her shins, shoulders, and hands. Her head was pounding with a headache from all the concentrating. But she held her head high and proud never the less.

The steaming water filled the bath, as Kagome undressed. She listened to the rushing water. And old memories came back.
She remembered when she was little she would pretend to be a princess that was swimming in a pond that had a water-fall that had beautiful flowers climbing the rocks.
When really she would be sitting in her bathtub.
When the bath was drawn, she tenderly dipped a foot in. Then she stepped in. She just stood there in the water that swam around her legs, like the blood of the slain laying at her feet. But she brushed that thought away and lowered her self into the welcoming bath.
After only a few minutes, the pains from her training disappeared. Her whole body was relaxed, as she sunk into the warmth that swallowed her body. But she came up coughing and sputtering. She had become to comfortable and fell asleep.
"Time for bed." she said as she stepped out, wrapping a magenta colored robe around her body.
She rounded the corner for the kitchen for a snack, for a movie.
Finding a bag of chocolate covered raisins, she went to her bed and turned on the t.v..
THE BUMBLEBEE FLIES ANYWAY, began to play as soon as she got comfy in her many Dark green pillows, and heavy silk blanket.
************************************
She awoke sharply at the alarm clock that blared out the continuos beeping. She hit the snooze, and looked at the clock. She slept in 10 minutes later then she meant to.
'Oh well' she thought as she began to dress in her training outfit. Then she grabbed a muffin, and ate it for breakfast as she went to the little gym on the side of her house. She threw open the doors and stepped inside.
Her knife was still on the ground, as where the broom and water bottle. She picked up the water bottle and headed to the closet, inside there was a big water cooler. She filled her bottle, then walked back out.
As she stretched her legs out, a truck came rumbling up to the side of the gym. She gave the truck no attention but went right on.
The men inside the truck however, jumped out and began to unload the sand dummies that Kagome had requested of the headquarters. They brought in 9 dummies all together, then left in the truck.
After her daily stretches she began to place the dummies in the desired location, and began her training.
