%%%% "I was supposed to be next in line of our ancestors to protect the Shikon No' Tama!" Kikyou yelled. "You didn't get it because of your lack of discipline and your lack of following the rules every priestess has to follow like right now you should be wearing a mikos attire instead you wear everyday clothes! That is why the Shikon No' Tama was put in my care!" Kagome yelled back. Kikyou stared at Kagome than stormed off
"Kagome what were you and her talking about?" Inuyasha asked. 'Uh oh I'm in trouble.' Kagome thought.
%%%%%
"Kagome what were you guys talking about?" asked Inuyasha. "Um do you guys know of the legend of the Shikon No' Tama and how it came to be?" Kagome asked. "Yes I believe a powerful miko named Midoriko thrust it out of her when she was fighting a battle with a demon." Miroku said. "Yes well it was entrusted to my ancestor who was also a powerful miko it was her duty to protect it and has been passed down to the oldest miko in our family Kikyou was made because she was the oldest and did not get to protect it I did. Because of the way she acts and her disregard for the rules it was passed down to me." Kagome explained. "So let me get this straight Kikyou is jealous because you got the jewel and she didn't?" Sango asked. "That pretty much sums it up." Kagome said. "Does that mean you're stronger than Kikyou?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yep why?" Kagome asked "Than remind me never to get on your bad side." Inuyasha said. At that Sango and Miroku laughed. "What's so funny?" Kagome asked "Well one day we were eating lunch and some guy asked Kikyou out and she ended up blowing up half the cafeteria," Sango said, "Then she got up and said anyone get on her nerves and they will end up like half the cafeteria." Sango finished. "Inuyasha was scared because the blast was only and inch away from him." Miroku continued.
Kagome shuck her head. "That's one of the reasons Kikyou didn't get the jewel you're not supposed to use your power for self gain." Kagome said "Kagome I was just wondering how strong is Kikyou compared to you?" Miroku asked. "Lets just put it this way Kikyou doesn't make even one billionth of my power." Kagome said as she walked on her companions stopped and stared at her retreating back. Noticing her lack of companions Kagome turned around. "What are you staring at?" Kagome asked. "Nothing!" They said.
They were at the mall for an hour and so far Sango and Miroku were the only ones with bags. "Kagome don't get me wrong but you're a girl by now shouldn't you have at least one bag?" Inuyasha asked "We'll get to my store in a minuet." Kagome said.
True to her word in one minuet Kagome walked into a store. The others stared at the sign. FEAUDLE JAPAN WEPONS 'Why would Kagome come here?' Sango thought. The trio followed Kagome to the back of the store. "Hay Kaede anything new in?" Kagome asked. "Ah Kagome how are ye child?" "I'm fine oh and these are my friends Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango." Kagome said pointing to each one in turn. "How are you?" Kaede asked. "Fine thank-you." Sango and Miroku said Inuyasha just shrugged his shoulders.
"Good. Now Kagome I understand that you are undergoing swordsmanship training under Himura. So I got this." Kaede said punting a katana on the counter. Kagome gasped "Wow this is beautiful." Kagome said as she fingered the sheath. It was colored black with a design of a red Chinese dragon snaking around the sheath. "This is beautifully designed." Kagome said. "The sheath was carved from a demon tree and the blade was purified by the monk in the north. Go on unsheathe it." Kaede urged. Kagome did as told the blade shone in the light from the lamps.
Near the hilt of the sward was writing that said "I am the samurai of the modern age for I enforce the way of the warrior." "This is wonderful Kaede how much is it?" Kagome asked. "Your birthday is coming up in two days am I correct." Kaede asked. "Yes," catching on what Kaede said Kagome replied. "Oh no I couldn't." Kagome said. "Of course you can I ordered that just for you." Kaede said with a stern look in her eyes Kagome didn't argue knowing how stubborn that woman could be. "Thank you very much Kaede." Kagome said giving a hug to the older woman. Kagome than turned to her friends "Do you guys want anything?" Kagome asked. "No we're good." They replied. "Okay," Kagome then turned to Kaede again, "thank you very much Kaede. Before I forget Souta is having a play in a month I'm sure he would like you to come especially gramps." Kagome teased "Don't make me kick you out Kagome." Kaede said.
Kagome laughed "Okay just come if you want to and thanks again." Kagome said strapping the sward to her side.
Once outside the store Sango asked "Kagome do you go to that store often?' "Yep I was there when it first opened see Kaede is a family friend she helped train me." Kagome explained.
After another hour they were ready to leave they meet in Kagome's room "What time is it Sango?" Miroku asked "8:00 why?" Sango asked. "We better go it's five till curfew and we have school tomorrow good-night guys." Miroku said getting up Inuyasha following. "Yea goodnight." Inuyasha said.
The next day Kagome got showered and did her mourning routine then dressed and slung her quiver and bow over her shoulders and strapped her sward around her waist. And walked out side and locked her door she meet Sango who had a large boomerang on her shoulders. "That's your weapon?" Kagome asked "Yep now lets go meat the boys if I know them there standing next to Inuyasha's car waiting to go to breakfast." Sango said. "Alright let's go."
When they got to Inuyasha's car Inuyasha asked "So who's turn is it to cook?" "I think it was Miroku's." Sango said. "Hell no last time I hade burnt eggs." Inuyasha exclaimed. "Well I'm not cooking." Sango said. "Well I sure as hell am not cooking." Inuyasha said. "How about we go out to eat I mean we are next to a car and it would be stupid to go back to the dorms. I have no idea why you meat here any way." Kagome stated. The other three stared at each other. "Why do we do that any way?" Inuyasha asked.
"Maybe because we're stupid?" Miroku asked that earned him two bonks on the head "The only stupid one around here is you houshi." Sango said. "Well guess that leaves where we're going for breakfast." Kagome said. "Denny's!" "IHOP!" "Denny's!" "Denny's!" shouted Kagome. "Majority rules Miroku Denny's it is." Sango said
After breakfast the three sat under a Sakura tree while Inuyasha sat in the branches. "Well we have an hour till class starts. Sango what's your first period?" Kagome asked. "Demon exterminating. You?" "Archery practice. What about you Miroku? Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. "Monk training." Miroku said. "Sward practice." Inuyasha stated simply. "What about after?" Kagome asked "English' they said in union. "Third?" "Band." They said in union also "Fourth?" "Science." "Fifth?" "Reading. Then lunch. Math then World geography." They all said. "Well than I guess we have the same classes the whole day besides first." Kagome said. "You mean you have all those classes with us?" Sango asked. "Yep." A bell was heard in the distance. "Well I'll see you all in second." Kagome said running off to the archery field leaving the three there in the dust.
with Kagome "Okay Kagome since your new here why don't you show us how good you are?" the teacher Mrs. Nguyen asked. "Um okay so what do you want me to do?" Kagome asked "I want you to hit that target without your powers." Mrs. Nguyen instructed as she pointed to a target "Alright." Kagome took out an arrow and notched it in her bow and aimed at the target careful not to use her powers and let go. The arrow hit it directly in the middle and went right through it and imbedded itself into the brick wall behind it. Mrs. Nguyen stared at the target "Are you sure you didn't use your powers Ms. Higurashi?" She asked. "Yes I'm sure because if I did that wall wouldn't be there now." Kagome stated. By now the whole class stared at her.
"Kagome would you like to be in the archery tournament in a week?" Mrs. Nguyen asked "I guess sure why not." Kagome said.
After archery Kagome headed to her dorm to get her books. She meet Sango on the way there "Hay Sango how was class?" Kagome asked. "Great how was yours?" "Awesome Mrs. Nguyen asked me to be in some tournament in two weeks." Kagome said. "That's nice let's go get our book's before we're late.' Sango said.
After school the trio sat in Sango's room. "So what are we going to do now?" Inuyasha asked. "I don't know hay Sango what time is it?" Kagome asked. "3:30 why?" Sango asked. "I gotta go than." Kagome said getting up. "What why?' Inuyasha asked. "I have swordsmanship practice with Mr. Himura," Kagome said, "Anyone wanna come?" Kagome asked. Three hands rose. "Alright than let me go get ready." Kagome said.
When Kagome came out she was dressed in a white top like in her regular miko attire but had a blue hakama with her new sward at her side. Her hair was worn in a high ponytail much like Sango's. "Kagome I thought you had to wear your miko robes at all time?" Miroku asked. "Yes but I have permission to where this only when I'm training with Himura." Kagome stated s she got her keys and locked her door. "So you guys ready?" Kagome asked "I call shotgun!" Inuyasha yelled. "No fair you did that on purpose and stuck me with the letch!" Sango yelled. "My dear Sango I promise not the touch you." Miroku said before this could take any longer Kagome said, "Some of us have practice to get to so hurry up and lets go before I leave you here."
Everybody shut up then "Now Inuyasha can have shotgun. And Miroku no grouping or I'll leave you in the street got that. Now lets go I have a long drive." Kagome said. Sango looked like Christmas came early while Miroku looked like had just been denied a treat.
It took half an hour to get to the dojo where Kagome trained. Kagome looked to see that Sango and Miroku were asleep in the back. Sango's head was on Miroku's shoulder while his head was on hers. 'Aw isn't that cute.' Kagome thought as she shook Inuyasha awake. "Inuyasha can you wake the others up I'm almost late?" Kagome asked. "Yea what ever." Inuyasha said.
Kagome
"Sorry I'm late Mr. Himura but I had to get ready and some of my friends wanted to come." Kagome said. "Kagome stop with the formalities it's Kenshen. I also don't mind that your late our that your friends are here. I am curious as to where you got that blade?" Kenshen asked. "This?" Kagome asked as she got it out of her belt. "It's a gift from Kaede." Kagome said handing the blade to him. In the distance slap Bang "Kenshen!" could be heard as a girl ran into the training dojo. "What is it Kaoru?" Kenshen asked Kaoru. "Some man just grouped me!" Kaoru yelled. "I think she's referring to my letch of a friend Miroku." Kagome said.
