Well here's the next chapter, this one should be pretty interesting.
Training to be a Demon
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome had put down the empty bowl and patted her stomach, "Wow Zero where did you learn to cook like that," she smiled widely at the chef of the night. She had really enjoyed the stew that he made, as did the others.
Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha were still slurping their stew. "Oh its just something I picked up," he leaned close to Kagome and whispered, "actually I really like to cook." Kagome stifled a laugh and looked at the others who were all finishing up.
"Well I certainly don't mind your cooking it was great," Sango said and held up her bowl for seconds. Zero smiled and filled it up for her and was greeted by three more bowls. The night was filled with playful bickering between the group members; Miroku also had a rather constant relationship with the floor, thanks to Sango's quick hand. The meal went on like this till cooking pot was empty and their stomachs were full.
Zero stood up collecting the bowls and cooking pot, "Well I'm going for a walk I'll wash these in the river while I'm out." He'd been going for walks every night since Inuyahsa had followed him into the forest.
"I'll help," Kagome said jumping to her feet and grabbing for the bowls and caught Zero's hand instead and she turned a rather bright shade of red. Zero looked at her confused and his eyes drifted from group member to group member until they fell on Inuyasha who was looking rather annoyed at the recent event. Zero pulled away rather quickly.
"Oh, no thanks Kagome I've got it," Zero said blushing and grinning rather dumbly.
Sango watched and was smirking slightly, *I'll have to ask Kagome what that was all about later,* she noted mentally. She felt something rubbing her leg and without glancing slapped Miroku to the ground, which caught the attention of the others.
"Is he always grouping people?" Zero wandered aloud. The reply came in the form of a frustrated sigh falling from Sango's lips. He laughed and started out the door, "I'll be back later," he said and walked out the door holding up one hand and waved without looking back.
As he left the others went on about their business and made their sleeping pallets on the floor of the hut. Sango and Kagome, on one side and the boys on the other. Sango leaned over to Kagome, "So what was that thing with Zero?" she asked the younger girl who turned a rather bright shade of red.
"Well I ... uh well I just wanted to help him that's all," she said blushing harder.
"Uh huh," Sango said smirking, "you know your blushing, right?" she said and laughed when Kagome went three shades darker.
On the other side of the hut Inuyasha was complaining to a preoccupied Miroku, preoccupied staring at Sango. "Hello Miroku are you listening to me," Inuyasha said glaring at the monk.
"No..." came the reply followed by a swift correction, "I mean of course I am, so uh what were you saying."
"I was asking you what you thought of what was with Kagome and Zero," he trailed off seeing that Miroku's attention was once again on Sango, "oh never mind," he ground out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Zero made his way to the stream and set down the dishes on the edge of the water and rolled up his sleeves and started doing the dishes. *Ahh, man that's cold,* he cursed mentally for the water being so cold but mostly for his human mothers training. But the more he thought about his home the more he ended up smiling thinking of his family back home... home his thoughts wandered over that word, "Home is where the heart is?" he said aloud and frowned, "Then where's my heart?" he thought for a moment and his eyes wander over the dishes he was absently doing, and then he started to hum. He stopped and laughed, "My heart is with me, and so I'm home wherever I go. As long as I'm happy it doesn't matter where I am."
He finished the dishes and smiled to himself and noticed the two- tailed cat Kirara sitting next to him. "Well hi there," he said, "just how long have you been there?" Kirara gave him a 'long enough' look. He grinned at the cat, "Well since you're here you wanna help me?" he asked. Kirara tilted her head in a questioning manner.
"First we have to get these back to the hut," he said motioning to the dishes and the cat nodded. Zero led the way back to the village and set the dishes by the door and listened to the voices inside which seemed occupied for the time and figured that they wouldn't miss him for awhile and disappeared into the dark with Kirara in close pursuit.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sango walked out side to find Kagome looking at the stars and watched the younger girl for a moment.
"Where is he?" Kagome asked no one in particular. And was very surprised and a little startled when someone answered.
"He'll be back," Sango said, "he's been going on walks like this for the past two nights, but he always comes back."
"Sango I didn't know your were there," Kagome managed in her surprised state. *Well at least its not Inuyasha,* she thought with little relief. She looked to the doorframe of the hut and saw something. "What the..."
Sango followed her friends' gaze and saw it too it was the dishes in a nice neat and clean stack. "If there here where's he," then she stopped remembering what she had come out to ask Kagome, "hey have you seen Kirara?" she asked.
Kagome thought for a second, "Um I think I saw her go out after Zero five minutes after he left," she said.
"What are they up too...?" they said in unison looking at each other.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kirara was walking next to Zero wandering where they were going. "I hope your fast and can keep up," he broke out without warning, "because I need your help training." He looked down at the two-tailed cat and saw utter confusion on her face. He smiled, "Well I guess I'm a little lost in this new body, I don't know the first thing about being a demon." With that Kirara was engulfed in flame and emerged in her true form, she understood what to do. "Thanks," was all he could say.
"How about a game of tag for a warm up?" he asked the cat who nodded in response. The game began and he Kirara on the nose and took off to the nearest tree limb grinning from ear to ear. He managed to stay one step ahead of his training partner that is until he ran out of trees to jump into. He had inadvertently fond his way back to the clearing that he and Inuyasha had ended up in a few nights before; he had only a few seconds to realize it before Kirara tackled him to the ground. She was staring him straight in the face growling playfully, "Ok ok, you caught me... now off," he tried to struggle free but in vain and he could've swore he saw the cat grinning. *That's scary,* he thought with a sigh.
He only saw one option, throw her away. He placed his feet on the chest of his attacker and pushed her off and jumped away to face her at a distance more to his liking. They faced off like this for what seemed like hours and were back to the action.
The night went on like this and their sparing match got more intense. By the end both were so exhausted the collapsed next to one another.
"Well that was fun," Zero said and received a rumbling agreement form his training partner. *Oh, man I'm spent. I can't even move,* he thought and started to laugh. Kirara looked confused and the young hanyou. Zero looked at her, "I can't move. But it was worth it I've learned more about myself," a sinister grin spread crossed his lips, "but still I don't like to have limits.
Kirara heard the annoyance in his voice and watched get to his feet slowly. She examined his body, which was rather torn; she realized that from the rips in his clothes, cuts, scrapes, and soft patches of skin, which would be burses by light of the morning. There were no major wounds or other injuries but his body was battered and beaten, he should not have been able to stand, but then he was Inuyasha's brother still she was impressed.
He stood straight arms raised from the elbow, basking in the light of a half filled moon letting the cool light wash over him as he try to recover enough energy to make it back to the hut. He tensed his body and for the first time realized just how depleted it was, *This is going to suck in the morning, but hey I know what my attacks are now,* he thought with a small laugh. He looked to the cat and saw that the match had taken a toll on her as well, "Come on lets go back and get some rest," with a grunt of effort the cat rose to her feet. They started back to the each limping and with their own share of stumbles.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
By the time they made it back to the hut they were leaning on each other. Zero took notice that the bowl had been moved. Kirara changed back to her smaller size as Zero peaked into the hut and saw that the others were asleep, they quietly made their way in and laid down.
Unbeknownst to the new comers were Sango's watchful eyes she smiled to see them back. But was worried from how tired they looked and acted.
Kirara got comfortable and snuggled next to Zero and slowly they drifted off to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The darkness of the night falls upon the wall of a foreboding castle, emanating an evil aura within twenty feet of its outside walls nothing lives but death not even the grass will grow. The black halls lit by small candles seem to emit evil and despair.
A young lord, longed haired a strong body and glowing red eyes, sits in his room, the buzzing of a large bee like insect hovers outside the window of the room, "I see so Inuyasha has a brother other than Sesshomaru how interesting," The young lord speaks to no one that can be seen.
"What will we do?" asks a seemingly snide woman.
"Nothing for the time being, my dear Kagura. For now we will only monitor the situation," the lord answers, "this maybe used to our advantage."
"And if it cannot?" Kagura asks in a defiant tone.
"Then we kill him with the others," the lord answers calmly with a glint in his glowing red eyes. He turns his head to the window to the buzzing, "Go and watch them and report back to me," he commanded and the insect lifted higher into the air and was joined by a giant swarm.
"And what am I to do?" Kagura asked in the same tone.
"Leave and do as you wish, until I call for you," he said and dismissed her with a wave of his hand.
Her eyes narrowed, "Yes, master Naraku," she ground out and disappeared into shadow, as Naraku smirked.
