Chapter Three- Meeting Kurama and Grandma's Evil Bootcamp
The small group walked into the house to find Kagome examining herself in a mirror. Her ears twitched and she turned around to smile at them. "I actually don't look that bad. I didn't think I would change this much. So, what do you guys think?" Then she noticed Kurama for the first time. "Who are you?"
"Kagome, dear, this is Kurama. Youko got into an accident some years ago, and he took refuge in a human's body. Kurama is this human, and the one you're engaged to. Oh, and by the way, you look beautiful," Shina said to her daughter.
"I have to agree with your mother. You look absolutely stunning," Kurama said, giving her a smile.
Kagome gave him a smile in return. "Thanks. It's nice to meet you."
"The pleasure's all mine." He bowed and gave her hand a quick kiss.
"Well, it's good to see you two getting along."
"Kagome-chan, how do you think Inuyasha and Miroku will react? We didn't exactly go and fill them in on what's happening," Sango said.
Kagome grimaced and said, "Miroku will take it just fine, but Inuyasha might get violent before he realizes that it's true. He is an idiot, after all."
Shippou jumped on her shoulder and added, "Yeah. He might not believe it's you and will attack."
"We will worry about this later. You'll be training for quite a while, so if Sango goes and tells him about your transformation, he should expect it when you go back," Genkai said.
Sango agreed and said, "I'll go tell him tomorrow."
"Sango, your spirit energy is very high. If you like, I can train you to use that power," Genkai said.
The exterminator smiled and gladly agreed. "Thank you very much."
"Genkai, you do know that Yusuke will soon be showing up to finish is training don't you? He'll have to have it completed by the time that the Dark Tournament begins. How are you going to train all three of them?" Kurama asked.
Kagome asked, "What's the Dark Tournament?"
"It's a competition that was started to keep bloodthirsty youkai happy. The fights are ruthless and many see the need to kill their opponents. Compassion is a rare trait once you enter the ring," Shina said.
"How do you know that?" Kagome asked.
"I've seen one or two of them. I've even participated in one. Of course, that was before the fights got so brutal."
"Girls, you had better go pack. We're leaving in the morning," Genkai said.
"Okay. Well, goodnight!"
Next day. At Genkai's
"Kagome, focus your energy. It's flying wildly. If you don't rein it in, you'll soon run yourself down into the ground." Kagome was currently trying to channel her energy through her hand so that she levitated over a large needle (think Yusuke's training). She concentrated and was able to fix her mistake while Genkai moved on to lecture Sango, who was doing the same exercise. Suddenly, the large doors of the room were thrown open and the girls almost lost their balance and control.
Genkai turned angrily to the intruder and said, "Dimwit! Don't you know how to knock?"
Yusuke, noticing Sango and Kagome, said "Who are they? I thought I was your only student!"
He continued on complaining loudly until Kagome got fed up. "Dammit! Shut the hell up you idiot! This isn't easy and you're making it harder!" Her energy flared for a moment and then settled down. Then Sango started laughing and her energy flared too. She started to wobble and then suddenly fell.
"Kagome! Look at what you made me do! Now I've got to start all over!"
Kagome laughed nearly as hard as Sango did, but managed to stay in control. Through her laughter, she said, "It's not my fault you can't focus. I could stay in control while laughing."
"Yeah Sango. 'Kaa-san's right. You just need to concentrate better," Shippou said. Yusuke looked to see where the voice came from and pinpointed it to a corner, where the kit was sitting next to Kurama, watching the girls train.
"Hey, Kurama! Shouldn't you be training? The Dark Tournament is coming up soon."
"Hello, Yusuke. It's nice to see you too." Kurama stood up to greet his friend and Shippou jumped on his shoulder.
"Who's the fuzz ball, Kurama? And who are those hot girls that Genkai's training?"
Shippou growled at him and Kurama chuckled. "I don't think it's very smart to insult a kit in front of his mother." He nodded towards Kagome, who, despite her uncomfortable position floating in the air, was sending Yusuke a glare. "His name is Shippou. The girl that fell over is Sango and the other one is Kagome."
"Kagome? That girl that's supposed to be Youko's mate?" Yusuke looked over at Kagome and whistled. "He lucked out on that one. With his looks, he should be able to easily win her over. She seems like the normal schoolgirl that faints if she sees someone she deems as 'hot.'" Kurama winced after he said that and looked in Sango and Kagome's direction. He had only known them for a few hours, but he had already learned that it was suicide to insult them.
Sango, who had yet to restart the exercise, heard Yusuke and decided to punish him for making it sound like Kagome was a pushover. She stomped angrily over to Yusuke and Kurama whispered, "Run, Yusuke."
"Huh? Why?" Suddenly, he was grabbed from behind and thrown across the room. "What the hell?" He hit a wall and landed upside down and stared up at his attacker. He watched as Sango furiously walked over to him.
She grabbed him by his collar and said, "If you ever insult Kagome again, you will experience pain as you have never known it to be. Is that understood?" He nodded dumbly and she moved away to start the exercise again.
"Dimwit! What are you doing? Get off your lazy ass and start training! You will do a run through of your former training before you continue the more extensive stuff. You're going to do the same stuff they are. Now start!"
That night
"Grandma? Do you think that my friends and I could enter the Dark Tournament?"
"Hey! How come she can call you grandma without being hit?"
"Maybe it's because she is my grandma you idiot," Kagome replied. "Now, can we enter the tournament?"
"If you want to. Do you have five fighters?"
"Well, there's Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha and myself. We could probably get another fighter. Kouga might be willing to help us. I could bribe him or something."
"With a kiss, Kagome-chan? He'd like that and we could probably get him to do anything we wan if you give him a good one," Sango said teasingly.
Kagome blushed and glared at her. "I don't want to do that! But, if it's the only way he'll help, then I'll do it." She unexpectedly stiffened and said, "Someone's here."
Genkai went to see who it was while the rest of them continued eating. She came back a few minutes later, leading their guest. Kagome, Sango, and Shippou went rigid when they realized who it was. Sango and Kagome jumped up and prepared to defend themselves.
"What are you doing here Sesshoumaru?"
"I have come to offer my assistance. You need one more fighter for the tournament, correct? If you will allow me to, I will fight by your side."
Kagome's and Sango's jaws dropped to the ground as they stared at the youkai they considered one of their greatest enemies. Kagome looked at him critically and said, "Time really has changed you Sesshoumaru. We would be glad to have your help." She gave him a smile and then offered him some dinner.
"You know, we'll have to ask Inuyasha and Miroku if they agree to fight," Sango pointed out.
"Miroku will be easy enough, and I'll bribe Inuyasha with ramen. It should work."
"How are you going to convince Miroku?"
"I'll either do what I was gonna do to Kouga, or I might offer him a free groping," Kagome said, grimacing.
"As long as you do it and not me."
"But Sango-chan! He'll want you more than me!"
"Too bad. I was your idea."
"Fine. I'll do it. But we're no gonna tell them until our training is done. I've got to come up with some way to convince Inuyasha to let Sesshoumaru help us."
"If he decides he does not wish to help you because of my presence, I have someone who can join us," Sesshoumaru said. "Now, if I am to trust you, I would like to see your true appearance."
Kagome nodded and muttered something under her breath. Her features slowly changed to reveal her true form (not a fox; she had been in a human disguise).
Sesshoumaru looked her over, much to the dismay of Kurama. He nodded and said, "You look better than I expected Kagome. With the way Inuyasha never let you do anything for yourself, I half expected you to be in horrible shape. However, I guess I should have known better. You are not the type to grow lazy and overweight."
"Thanks. I think."
Genkai stood up and said, "Yusuke, Sango, and Kagome, do any of you know how to defend yourself with a weapon?"
"I've got my spirit gun, grandma. You already know that."
"That's not what I consider a weapon. I meant a physical weapon. What about you two?"
"I've got my Hiraikotsu and I have limited knowledge of how to use a sword."
"Umm... I have my bow."
"Better than Yusuke I suppose. Sango has got a fine weapon. But, I think it would be better if you all knew how to use a sword. We'll need to find someone to instruct you on the proper techniques of a sword."
"Could Hiei do it?"
"I doubt he would," Kurama said.
Sesshoumaru said, "I could do it."
Kagome smiled at him and gave him a quick hug, which shocked him to near death. Kagome grinned at the expression on his face and said, "I think I'll do that more often Fluffy."
"Fluffy? How in the world did you come up with that Kagome?"
"His tail. Just look at it. If hat's not fluffy, don't know what is." Her fingers twitched and she whispered, "Must touch it."
Sesshoumaru sighed and unwound his tail from its resting place on his shoulder. He moved it up to her face and tickled her nose. He squealed like Rin always did and he gave a small smile. It might be kind of fun around her after all.
I finally updated! WOOHOO! Hope you enjoyed it. REVIEW PLEASE!!!
