Varan: *cough cough* Man being sick sucks! I've been sitting here all day with nothing to do! But at least I got the chapter done. And it's only 10 mor days until christmas!!!!!! I can't wait!!
Kurama: But school doesn't let out until christmas eve.
Varan: I know! Stupid ass holes! *sigh* Hey, did you invite the others?
Kurama: Yes I did, they're comming right now. *Yusuke, and Hiei walk in*
Yusuke: So what's up Kurama?
Hiei: *glares at Varan* What do you want now bitch?
Kurama: Yusuke, meet Varan. She's a fan fic authoress.
Yusuke: Oh, you're the one who chained Hiei to a chair right?
Varan: Yep. Nice to meet you.
Yusuke: Hey wait, where's Kuwabara?
Varan: Um he's a little....tied up at the moment. *Kuwabara comes running in screaming*
Kuwabara: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Urameshi! Save me from this psycho wolf girl!!!!!!!
Yusuke: What did you do to him?
Varan: I forced him to read a yaoi fan fic with him and....
Yusuke: No wait! I really don't wanna know!
Kurama: * sigh* I leave you alone for an hour and what happens? You scar my team mate for life.
Hiei: You are one psychotic half breed
Varan: Yeah I know. But it's so much fun!
Hiei: Well at least you're abusing Kuwabara instead of me this time.
Varan: Aww that was just a one time thing. I won't do it again.
Hiei: You'd better not.
Kurama: Varan you should rest. You're still sick after all.
Varan: *sigh* Alright. Hey do you have any healing herbs?
Kurama: I could find some.
Varan: Yeah! Thanks alot! *cough cough* Well here you go everybody!
Disclaimer: What's that? You're giving me the Inuyasha cast? AND the Yu Yu Hakusho cast? And I can torture and abuse Jaken and Kikyo? And Kurama is mine forever? YES!!! *Wakes up coughing* It was only a dream? Damn it! *cough cough*
Kagome wiped the sweat off her brow tiredly. Who knew training her powers would be this hard? Kaede had them all practicing on focusing their power to manifest it into a weapon. She demonstrated by making a staff out of her earth powers. (a/n: Kaede has mastered all four elements)
"You must first take hold of your power. Then use your will to shape it into a weapon of your choice. You must concentrate, for your power will fight against the change. Keep a firm grip, and block out anything that could distract you. Eventually you shall learn to conjure your weapons and be aware of your surroundings at the same time, but it takes practice," she told them. "Now watch again, carefully, then try it yourself." They watched attentively as Kaede demonstrated the technique again. It seemed simple enough. But when they tried they found it more difficult than it appeared. Next, Kaede had worked on their magical sensesand how to work with their familiars. Kaede made them repeat everything until they had mastered it. Finally she allowed them to stop for the day. The girls were bone tired, and this was only the begining. Right now they were only learning the basics. The more powerful and harder to control magic would come later. She sighed and leaned back against the wall of Inuyasha's room. She wondered how the others were holding up. Had the demons said anything to them about the prophesy? She didn't have time before to ask. Hopefully they were taking things well.
Rin sat down with a sigh. She was exhausted! Riverswift climbed into her lap and settled there comfterbly. Rin stroked her familiar's soft silky fur absently as she thought about everything that had been happening lately. Her thoughts wandered to Sesshomaru. He hadn't said anything to her since yesterday. What was going on in his head? And where was he anyway? Usually he would be in his room by now. Why wasn't he today? She decided to ask Riverswift/
: Hey do you know where Fluffy is?, : she asked.
: Probably training. Do you want to see? I know where the practice room is. : Rin agreed and let Riveswift lead her to the practice room. Sure enough, there he was, sword in hand. He was training with Koga. Rin blushed when she saw them. Neither demon was wearing a his shirt. Her eyes roved over Sesshomaru's muscular arms and chest hungrily. (a/n: Hey! No drooling on the key board Sesshie fans!!!) Realizing what she was doing she looked away, blushing even more deeply. She saw Ayame on the other side of the room watching the fight, her eyes locked on the sweating wolf demon. Unlike Rin, she was actually studying his fighting technique, not his muscles. She saw Rin and gestured for her to join her. Rin sat down next to Ayame to watch the fight. The two demons had locked swords. Sesshomaru forcefully pushed Koga away from him, then used the flat of his sword to send him flying across the room. Koga dropped his sword and fell to the matted floor with a loud smack. He sat up panting and bowed his head.
"I yield," he said between pants. "You've beaten me again my lord. He stood, retreived his sword and sheathed it. Sesshomaru sheathed his as well.
"You held out longer this time. It seems you are improving," he replied. Koga laughed.
"Well I guess that's something." He saw the two girls watching them. "What are you looking at?" Ayame glared at him.
"We were watching you get your ass kicked," she replied. "It was very entertaining." Koga growled and began to trade insults with her. Rin wasn't listening to them. She was looking at Sesshomaru. Her eyes were once again drawn to his spectacular upper body. He noticed this and smirked. She looked up at his face and saw that he had seen her looking at him. She blushed again and looked at the wall. She could feel him peircing her with his intensive gaze, but refused to look at him. Sesshomaru smirked again and picked up his shirt. Once he had it on, he turned to Rin. When she finally looked up, he turned beckoning her to follow, leaving Koga and Ayame alone to argue. They walked in silence for a minute until he suddenly spoke.
"How old are you Rin?," he asked. She jumped, startled by the unexpected question.
"Uh, I'm 18 years old," she replied. "Why do you ask?"
"You are 18 and yet you do not have a mate? Shouldn't your parents have arranged something when you first became a woman?" She blinked at him.
"Well, I first 'became a woman' as you say when I was 13. That's way too young to marry. And besides, my parents died three years ago. There's no way for them to arrange anything, being dead and all. But even so, they wouldn't have forced me to marry someone. It is my desicion after all." Sesshomaru pondered this for a moment before speaking again.
"You're world seems like a strange place. Here fathers decide everything for their daughters." Rin glowered at the thought of someone controlling every single thing she did.
"Well that's a load of bull," she told him. "Women have the right to decide things for themselves. We're not objects for men to have. We are equal partners in life. Not one is better or more important than the other." Sesshomaru stopped walking and turned to look at her. She stood there looking him straight in the eye, showing him she meant every word.
"You have a very strong spirit Rin," he commented. "So much, that I don't think a weak human male could handle you. But maybe...a demon can." She swallowed nervously.
"And just what do you mean by that?," she asked. He reached out to touch the mark on her neck that showed she was his slave. He traced it gently with one talon, causing her to shiver.
"You shall see my dear," he replied. "Once this business with Naraku is finished, you will know exactly what I mean." Rin stared at him dumbly as he continued on. She stood rooted to the floor in shock and confusion. His touch had sent a searing heat throughout her entire body. Her heart was beating harshly in her chest as well. What was that? What did he mean? She took a deep breath to steady her pounding heart and clear her mind. She wondered if she would ever figure him out.
Meanwhile, Koga and Ayame had finally stopped shouting at each other. Koga decided to have a little fun.
"Do you know how to fight?," he asked. She nodded.
"Yeah, we learned a little self defense stuff in school. Nothing big, but I can hold my own in a fight." Koga smirked.
"Is that so? Well why don't we spar and see what you can do?" Ayame grinned and stood up.
"Sure," she replied. "Hand to hand or weapons?"
"How about hand to hand?," he suggested.
"Ok, then. Ready? Begin!" She started them off and got into a fighting position. Koga tried to punch her, but she grabbed his fist and pulled him forward to knee him in the stomach. He broke away from her and kicked her legs out from underneath her. She rolled to the side and jumped to her feet. She charged at Koga, but he was too fast for her. He ran behind her and knocked her down. He expertly flipped her and pinned her to the floor.
"I win," he stated smugly. He got off her so she could stand. "But, you did better than I expected."
"Damn you and your demonic speed." she muttered, angry that she had lost. Koga laughed.
"Don't worry about it. You're stronger than most humans I've seen," he told her. "You actually managed to hit me once." He stopped realizing something. "Wow, I think this is the first time we've had a conversation without insulting each other." Aymae blinked then laughed quietly.
"I guess it is. Hey I want a rematch though." Koga laughed as well.
"Alright, tomorrow I'll take you on again. Deal?"
"Deal." Just then Ayame's stomach growled loudly. Koga laughed again.
"Cone on. Let's have dinner," he said. She agreed enthusiastically. They talked about weapons used in the future as they ate. She told him about guns and bombs. He was fasinated. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice Kagome and Sango watching them. Kagome giggled.
"Wow they're not shouting at each other for once!," she exclaimed. Sango laughed.
"Yeah. I didn't think it would be possible!" They laughed and left the two alone to talk. Well, three including Earthsong, who was eating his dinner too. "So how are things with Inuyasha?" Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Well he's still acting like a little kid, but he's being somewhat civil towards me," she replied. "How are things between you and Miroku?"
"Fine. He hasn't groped me all day which is a first." Kagome laughed.
"Wow. Maybe things are changing for the better." Sango smiled.
"I sure hope so."
Varan: Done. *cough* Damn cold. Well not much happening yet. But don't worry, the next chapter will have more action. It'll be their first confrontation with baboon boy.
Kurama: Here Varan, drink this. It'll soothe your throat. *hand Varan a steaming mug*
Varan: Thanks Kurama. You're the best.
Kurama: No problem. I am supposed to take care of my ma- I mean people.
Varan: Well thanks anyway. I'm gonna go lay down now. *When Varan is gone Shippo pokes Kurama*
Shippo: What were you gonna say before?
Kurama: Uh, well, I was about to call her my mate...
Inuyasha: But she isn't your mate.
Kurama: Well I know that, but...
Inuyasha: You want her to be right?
Kurama: Um well yes I do.
Inuyasha: But you're a human. Humans don't use the word mate they use....what was it?....Oh yeah husband and wife.
Kurama: Well I used to be a demon. I still have my demon instincts and my senses are stronger than a normal human's.
Inuyasha: Oh. Well why don't you claim her?
Shippo: Yeah Kurama. You know she really likes you.
Kurama: I know, I'm just waiting for the right time.
Inuyasha: Feh, do what you want then.
Kurama: Yes, well see you all next time.
Shippo: Bye!!
Kurama: But school doesn't let out until christmas eve.
Varan: I know! Stupid ass holes! *sigh* Hey, did you invite the others?
