Thanks to all of my loyal reviewers! Have fun with the new chapter!
Before this chapter took place, Kagome explained to Kurama, Yusuke, and Sesshoumaru all about her trips to the past. Okay? Good. And, Sesshoumaru sees Kagome as a sister and visa versa.

Chapter Four- The Team
"Try again Kagome." Kagome and Sesshoumaru both got back into the starting positions and prepared to attack. "Come at me." Kagome rushed forward and tried to hit Sesshoumaru with the blunt side of her sword. Though she didn't manage to strike him, she executed the move perfectly. "Good. We're done for today."
She smiled and wiped the sweat from her brow. "Thanks for training me Fluffy. It would have really sucked to go into the tournament without being fully trained in the use of a weapon."
He brushed aside her thanks and asked, "Will you go to inform Inuyasha today?"
"Yeah, right after I complete my training with Grandma. She says I've still got one more exercise to complete."
He nodded. "Tell the exterminator to come for her session."
Later that day
Kurama, Kagome, Shippou, Sango, and Sesshoumaru were standing in front of the well waiting for Kagome and Sango to go back and ask Inuyasha and Miroku for their help. "Kurama, would you mind watching Shippou while I go back?" He nodded and said that he would. "Thanks. Shippou, you better behave for Kurama."
"Of course Okaa-san."
"Well, let's hurry up and get them Sango-chan. If they don't agree to help us, we've got to find someone else to fight."
They both jumped in and then climbed up the vines to find themselves in the middle of a battle (a/n Kagome disguised herself in her human appearance). Inuyasha and Kouga were fighting in the middle of the clearing and from the looks of it, Inuyasha was getting pissed.
"Sit!" Inuyasha plummeted to the ground and jumped up in shock.
"Kagome! You're okay!" His face was happy one moment, but then it turned angry. "Where have you been?"
She was about to reply when she felt strong arms envelope her from behind. Kouga started nuzzling her neck with his nose when he caught a whiff of a grown male kitsune. His face jerked back and he asked, "Who is that?"
Kagome gulped and laughed shakily. "That would be Kurama." Sango laughed at her friend's nervousness. Kagome turned to glare at her and said, "It's not funny Sango." Then she got an evil grin. "I'm telling Miroku."
Sango lost her smile. "I won't help you fight if you do."
"Fine," Kagome said, sticking out her tongue at her sister figure. "Inuyasha, can I ask you a favor?"
"What?"
"Well, Sango and I are entered in this tournament and our team needs five fighters. If you and Miroku help, we'll have enough."
"Wench, I suggest you learn how to count," Inuyasha said with Kouga growling at him for insulting Kagome. "That's only four fighters."
"Yeah, about that. We have a fifth fighter." She took a deep breath. "Sesshoumaru is helping us."
As expected, Inuyasha blew up. "WHAT?!? THAT BASTARD IS ON THE TEAM? I'M NOT GOING TO FIGHT ON THE SAME TEAM AS HIM!"
"Inuyasha, calm down. He's changed," Sango said. "The Sesshoumaru in Kagome's time has been helping us. He trained us in the proper use of a sword. He's really not that bad a guy once you get to know him."
Inuyasha studied them and then relaxed. "Feh."
"Yes!" Kagome jumped up and gave Inuyasha a hug. "Thank you so much Inuyasha. Come on Sango-chan. We've got to go convince Miroku to help."
The two girls left, leaving behind to somewhat confused and shocked friends. They looked at each other, blinked, and then ran after the two. When they arrived, they saw Kagome and Sango pleading with Miroku.
Sango sighed and whispered in Miroku's ear, "Kagome-chan will give you a kiss if you help." Inuyasha and Kouga looked surprised when Sango volunteered Kagome for that, but Kagome just shrugged at them.
Miroku gladly agreed and wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist. "Why, Kagome-sama, I had no idea you felt that way about me."
She rolled her eyes. "Don't get too cozy Miroku. Kurama wouldn't take that too well." Before he had time to ask who Kurama was, Kagome had leaned forward and gave him a deep kiss. He gladly returned it and was grinning when she pulled away.
"You are quite a good kisser Kagome-sama." She blushed and he continued. "I sensed you had experience in that area..."
--------Flashback--------
Kagome was done with her training for the day and had just finished her shower. She opened the door and ran straight into Kurama. Her towel slipped and fell off. Kurama blushed and, being the gentleman he is, turned away. Kagome pulled the towel back on and looked at him happily.
"Kurama, thank you for looking away. The guys I know would have just stared." He turned back to her and she blushed. She turned her head up and brushed her lips against his. His instincts took over and he deepened the kiss before she had the chance to move away. The kitsune in her took over and she responded.
"Woohoo! Go Kurama!"
They broke apart and looked to see Yusuke leaning against a wall grinning at them. He cheered for his friend again, and the two foxes blushed. Kagome went and smacked him upside the head and the stalked away angrily, muttering stuff like, "Stupid, idiot perverted jackass."
--------End flashback--------
(a/n My first flashback ever! :P)
Kagome grinned and said, "I might have a little experience." Everyone, except Sango, stared at her in shock. She noticed this and asked, "How come you don't look surprised Sango-chan?"
"Yusuke told me what happened."
Kagome started to mutter death threats under her breath until Miroku interrupted. "Kagome-sama, who are Yusuke and Kurama?"
"You'll meet them when we go back to my era. They're our friends, but are on an opposing team in the tournament."
"Kagome, we have to get back. Sesshoumaru wants to test their skills before we head for the tournament," Sango said.
"Hey Kagome, I just thought of something. What's a weak wench like you doing entered in a fighting tournament?" Inuyasha asked.
The miko grinned evilly. She pointed her index finger at him and it started to glow a pinkish purple color. It started to get bigger until it was the size of a baseball. She aimed it at Inuyasha, but changed direction the moment she fired. The energy from her form of the Spirit Gun completely demolished a part of the forest, leaving Inuyasha to stare at the destruction. Then before his very eyes, the forest started to grow back.
"What the hell was that?"
"That is my version of Spirit Gun. Instead of focusing my spirit energy, I focus my miko powers. In my mind's eye, I picture myself pulling the trigger of a gun, releasing my power. Since I don't actually use spirit energy, I can't exactly call the attack Spirit Gun. Sango, however, can use the Spirit Gun. Why don't you demonstrate, Sango-chan?"
Sango did the same thing as Kagome, except her energy was blue. Miroku was the first to recover and asked, "What have you two been doing for the past few months?"
"Training," they both answered at the same time.
"Can we go now you guys? Fluffy's probably getting mad by now," Kagome said.
"Yeah, we better go. Umm... What about Kouga, Kagome-chan?"
She glanced over at the wolf, who was looking expectantly at her. "I guess he can come as a substitute fighter. Although, I hope we won't need one."
"Why is that Kagome-sama?"
"A substitute fighter can only be used if a fighter from the team has died. So, I hope that we don't have to use Kouga because that would mean that one of us has died."
"Just what kind of tournament is this wench?"
"I'll explain later. But for now we have to go. We're supposed to be at the arena tonight at eight. Sesshoumaru's tests will probably take a few hours and we, meaning Sango and myself, want to go shopping in the Makai for some fighting gear. So, I'm leaving now." She turned and started walking toward the well, with Sango following close behind.
The guys trailed behind and by the time they got to the well, the girls were gone, leaving behind a jewel shard. Inuyasha ignored it and jumped in, leaving Miroku and Kouga to use the jewel. Miroku picked it up and they both jumped in at the same time. When they landed, they saw a roof above the well and a ladder leading up the side. They climbed up and walked outside to find Kagome and the others.
Kagome was sitting in the Goshinboku and Sango was at the base of the tree. Shippou was talking to another boy with red hair, who was also sitting in the tree.
"Kagome has some explaining to do."
We're almost to the Dark Tournament! But first, I've got to do some research. So, until I get that done I can't update this story. I've got to get the names of all the teams that fought in the series. I would watch a DVD with the info I need, but I have no money to buy them with! Do you people realize that I have TWO Inuyasha DVDs and FOUR Yu Yu Hakusho ones? That's not enough! I need money!
Before this chapter took place, Kagome explained to Kurama, Yusuke, and Sesshoumaru all about her trips to the past. Okay? Good. And, Sesshoumaru sees Kagome as a sister and visa versa.
