Keya13: lol Keya. Yes, it was from Naraku's Pov, but it was after he was found. More so, it was just his thoughts that you read about… it was him thinking. Not the whole battle scene again, I think you just misunderstood. But that's ok. Thanks for the review!

START CHAPTER
There was a celebration after the defeat of Naraku. First, all students received a day off, Kaede was very happy that they had succeeded see, and afterwards, the group partied at Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's house… which actually happened to be the biggest nicest house on the street. It was a mansion that looked like it had been around since the Feudal Era, and was really quite beautiful.
"Aaaah… I'm so glad we took care of him…" Said Kagome who was relaxing on the couch in the giant living room that had 3 different game systems, at least 100 games, and a big screen TV. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were playing the Game cube; it was a game of Super Smash Brothers Melee.
"I will defeat you brother!" Said Inuyasha as he made link do a kick in the middle of the air. Sesshomaru, who was using Gannondorf, just jumped out of the way and ended up hitting Link in the back, sending him off the screen. The game ended in another success for Sesshomaru.
"You won't ever beat me," said Sesshomaru, sounding rather arrogant. Only succeeding in annoying his little brother.
"You both suck," came Kagome's challenging comment. "I could kick both your butts any day!"
"Me too!" was Holly's remark. Kagome smirked and looked from the brothers to Holly.
"I have a little proposal to make boys. How about a battle of the sexes? Me and Holly, versus you two."
"You're on." Was the simultaneous response. Kagome and Holly took the 3rd and 4th player controllers, and plugged them in. They all chose their characters. Inuyasha chose link, Sesshomaru chose Gannondorf, Kagome Picked Zelda, changing her dress green, while Holly also picked Zelda, making her dress blue. They both proceeded in making nicknames for their little characters. Inuyasha's just stayed link, he was too lazy to change it, but Sesshomaru changed his. He wrote "KILR" in the four letter slot. He said it was a short for "killer".
Holly changed her name to "BLUE." She claimed it was her favorite color, and last but not least Kagome changed her name to "WTRG" which she claimed was a short for "water goddess." Then they set a five minute time limit, and went to the next screen. "You guys get to pick a stage, since our team made the challenge." Said Kagome. They chose the Venom, that plane with the four wings. And with a "Ready, GO!" their battle started.
A major battle ensued afterwards, but the boys were at a major loss. When it ended, the game claimed Kagome and Holly's Team- team green, The winners, and Inuyasha's team- team red, the losers. Both girls smirked having kicked both boy's butts.
"I don't believe we lost, it's all your fault Sesshomaru! You fell the most!" Said Inuyasha. Sesshomaru turned towards his younger brother.
"I don't think so, I may have been knocked out one more time then you, but I also had twice as many knock outs as you did. I was the team butt-kicker." He argued. Both boys turned heads when they heard the girl's laughter coming from their rights.
"Butt-kicker?" Holly gasped, "I don't think I've heard that word before! And besides, I TRIPLED the amount of knock-outs you had Sesshomaru!" She then fell back onto the floor in laughter.
"And… Inuyasha, I didn't know you played the blame game when you clearly did much worse! I mean really you got knocked out 20 times in 5 minutes!" Kagome then joined Holly on the floor, both of them laughing so hard that their stomachs began hurting.
The brothers then looked at each other, smirks forming on their faces as both of them thought of the same idea. Sesshomaru walked around over to Holly, and sat on her legs while Inuyasha sat on Kagome's. They both proceeded in tickling the girls mercilessly!! "Sesshomaru… Stop!... gasp ... I can't breath!" pleaded Holly.
"Inuyasha I didn't mean it! ... Can't… breathe…" was Kagome's plea. Both the boys stopped long enough for the girls to catch their breath, and start trying to push them off. Neither girl succeeded, because they had been weakened by laughter. Then both boys returned to their tickle torture.
Meanwhile… Sango sat next to Miroku on the couch, and Jaguira next to Koga.
"Guys," whispered Sango. "I think two people have crushes on two other people! And vice-versa too."
"Me too." Said Jaguira. "I wonder how this is gonna end up."
"Same here…" Whispered Koga and Miroku.
Sango cleared her throat, and then said rather loudly, "Hey do you guys want some popcorn?!"
The guys ceased their tickling and the girls caught their breath. They then turned to look at Sango who was suppressing laughter. The other three were too.
"Uuuh… I wouldn't mind…" Said Jaguira, who was also holding in some laughter.
"Me either." Said Koga.
"isn't this a great show?" Said Miroku. Both of the girls on the floor started doing rather accurate impressions of tomatoes, as did Inuyasha. Sesshomaru only blushed a bit, but that was because he was trying not too. He then gave up and did a tomato impression too. The people on the couches burst out laughing.
"Uuuh, we'll get off now." Said Inuyasha as both guys got up and stalked off to the kitchen, while the girls just laid there, attempting to recover from their embarrassment.
"Oh come on it wasn't that bad." Said Sango, after she quit laughing. She got up and helped Kagome and Holly off the floor. Neither girl said a word, and walked over to sit on the couch.
The boys came back from the kitchen carrying about 8 big bowls of …
Popcorn.
It was the next day at school, and everyone was having their morning meeting. This time they weren't discussing plans, it was just a relaxed enjoyable conversation. When an unwanted presence came before them.
It was Naraku, and he was sitting in a wheelchair. One broken arm, one broken leg. All the teens had to do their best to resist laughing at the aftermath of their revenge. Naraku then spoke.
"This isn't over. I have a challenge to make to you… and we could end this once, and for all. I challenge you to a battle 8 weeks time from now. We will duke it out using our powers, and it will go till one of us surrenders… or one of us dies. What do you say?" he finished.
"Do we have time to think about this?" Asked Sesshomaru coldly.
"I will give you one week, but from that date starts the 8 week proposal… that is if you say yes. One week but that's it!" Naraku then wheeled away, mumbling unheard obscenities at the group behind him.
"Inuyasha? Sesshomaru? What are we going to do?" asked Kagome.
"We will have another meeting this afternoon at your shrine, as well as a practice," stated Sesshomaru when he turned back around. "How could we deny the challenge, when we have a chance to get rid of him forever?"
KAGOME'S SHRINE AFTER SCHOOL
Everyone was sitting in a circle again. Sesshomaru sat closest to the gate, Holly at his left, Koga at Holly's left, then Jaguira, Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and then Miroku to his right. and it was before the practice. They were discussing the challenge that was made to them by Naraku.
"I accept it," started Kagome. "What Sesshomaru said earlier today couldn't have been more true. Why deny it when we have a chance to get rid of him for ever?" The rest of the group nodded. Then, Sesshomaru spoke.
"I figured we would all agree, that we would have the same thoughts. That's why I planned to have a practice this afternoon, and why I asked for time to decide. One, to make sure, and two, so that we would have a whole nine weeks to prepare for him. Since we will be on his domain, he will definitely be much stronger then the first time we dealt with him. We need as much time that we can have to prepare for him."
"That's very wise of you, Sesshomaru," said Miroku, "But how long has Naraku been at this school? From what I can understand, many of us here are first years. Only Me, Inuyasha, Koga, and yourself have been here longer."
"He is a third year, like I am. And I know that he is very dangerous. We will have to be in top shape to beat him," answered Sesshomaru. "C'mon now, it's time to practice." And with Sesshomaru's final comment, everyone rose, ready.
"What will we work on today?" Asked Koga.
"Guess what! For once I didn't' drink a mountain dew before practice!" exclaimed Jaguira very randomly.
"I find that hard to believe…" said Sesshomaru. "Anyways, in answer to your question Koga, today you and Jaguira, and Holly and I will do attacks, Miroku and Sango will do attacks too I guess, and uum, Inuyasha and Kagome you need to do blocking and avoiding considering you haven't done either of those yet. We'll do that for two practices. It should be fine." finished Sesshomaru. With a wave of his hand everyone split into their different groups.
SESSHOMARU'S AND HOLLY'S POV
"Ok Holly, I don't think you've done too much with learning attacks. Can you tell me what you know?" asked Sesshomaru.
"Well, both Jaguira and I know hand to hand combat. We learned that from our parents and classes. As for using my powers, I can really only do one thing, but I'm not very good at it yet. Here, let me show you." Holly responded. She then walked over to a near by tree and held out one of her hands. Sesshomaru heard a quiet whooshing sound, and when Holly moved out of his line of sight, he saw a spot on the tree that she had frosted over.
"Well, that's not much, yet, but that could come in handy. As you grow more endurance for your powers, you should be more powerful. Being able to completely frost over rather large things in a rather short amount of time. You will learn more as time passes. But why don't you start by trying to frost over my hand?" he asked her.
"But…! Won't that hurt?" she asked worriedly.
Sesshomaru's eye's glinted mischievously and he asked her, "Why should it matter if it hurts?"
"Uuuh…" Holly blushed a bit but when Sesshomaru stuck his hand out, she reluctantly reached over and tried to frost it over. She managed to cover Sesshomaru's hand up to his wrist in a coat of ice that was about half an inch thick.
"Very good." Sesshomaru easily broke out of his hand's ice prison. "Try again. This time, do as good as you can to make the ice as thick as you can. We will see how you improve by my timer." Sesshomaru pulled a timer out of his pocket. Apparently he had come prepared for anything. "The more ice you get in a time limit, the better you are getting. Now, when I say go."
She prepared her self. "Go." She immediately did her best to frost over his hand. When he said "stop" she stopped. This time, his hand was incased in two inches of ice. "twenty seconds, not to bad." He said.
"HEY SESSHOMARU!!" Koga waved from a short distance away.
"Hi Koga." Responded Sesshomaru, waving his ice-incased hand. Koga was snickering, he just couldn't resist it could he?
KOGA AND JAGUIRA'S POV
"Well Jaguira, what can you do?" asked Koga.
"Almost nothing besides hand to hand combat," replied Jaguira. "the only think I can do is this." Jaguira picked up a leaf, and it disappeared then soon, it reappeared after it got torn up some how. The pieces all floated to the ground, and Jaguira dropped the piece of leaf she held in her hand. "I have invisibility and energy wave powers. While I can turn things invisible, I can also destroy them using energy," she explained.
"Aah I see…" Koga grabbed a stick. "try this." He handed it to her.
"Ok…" Jaguira did the same thing to the stick that she did to the leaf.
"Uuhh… one sec." Koga turned in the direction of Sesshomaru and Holly, and called out. "HEY SESSHOMARU!" He and Jaguira watched as he turned back to them.
"Hi Koga," he replied while waving a hand that was completely incased in about two inches of ice. He turned back to Jaguira.
"Didja see that?" he whispered to her, and they both started to snicker. "Alright back to work. Try it again," Koga said. This time he handed her a stick that was slightly bigger. She repeated it, but this time it was just a bit harder. This time no words were needed as he jumped into the tree, and came down with another somewhat bigger stick. Jaguira did it again, and he came down with a small limb. This time Jaguira only managed to just barely do it.
"Ok, we'll stick to this size until you can do it with no problems. Then, we will try a size bigger." He said. "It should improve your powers, by allowing you to destroy things with bigger mass. And to do it quicker too."
"Ok," replied Jaguira. They repeated with that exercise, while they managed to get to know each other quite well. Talking and working at the same time. Jaguira learned about Koga's background, and he learned about hers. They became friends quickly.
MIROKU AND SANGO'S POV
"Ok Sango, I want to see what you can do," said Miroku.
"Alright… but I wanna tell you too. First off, I can only manipulate the wind. If there is none, there's nothing that I can do. Basically, I can increase the speed and create a bit of a mood. I can't really do much harm yet," said Sango.
"Ok…" Miroku hit the tree they were near with his staff, and watched as quite a few leaves came down. Some of them blown by a slight wind. "Now show me." He said.
Sango smiled, and had the wind blow the leaves around in a romantic dance, having them swirl about herself and then go to Miroku. She blew them about the trees and into the air and when she finished, they floated down onto the ground scattered about. "That was quite a display Sango. Have you been practicing while on your own?" he asked her.
"Yes I have actually, I'll turn on the fan in my room, and use that to practice," she answered. "It works quite well."
"Yes, I can see. I want you to try and make a bit of an upsetting mood. Can you do that?"
"Sure I can." Sango began having the winds blow a bit more violently, whipping about her and the houshi. Once again, the leaves were doing their dance, but this time it was an angry dance that said "you've angered me!" when Sango settled the wind, she gave Miroku a questioning glance.
"You did well Sango, but if you don't mind me saying, don't forget you can use fallen debris like sticks and sharp leaves as a weapon with your power. It could become potentially dangerous. But, I would like to see you try to 'blow me away,'"
"Right." Sango then braced herself, and made the winds blow furiously in Miroku's direction. She watched as he slid back about three feet before she tired out and stopped to sit against a tree.
"Very good Sango. Let's take a break." Miroku sat beside her and they both talked about themselves, getting to know each other even better, and becoming closer friends.
INUYASHA AND KAGOME'S POV
"Well Kagome, I wanna test your avoiding and blocking skills. First I need you to tell me what you can do though," asked Inuyasha.
"Okay… well I can create a shield using water, and I'm pretty fast, but that's about it," replied Kagome.
"Kay, show me this shield," he said. He watched as she stepped back, using her foot to brace her. She then crossed her arms in front of her chest, and a blue watery looking thing appeared around her – it was the shield. He tapped it to see if his hand would go through it but of course it didn't. He then punched it, but the shield still held strong. But in a few moments she fell back on her bum.
"That's tiring…" she mumbled.
"Bet it is," he replied, reaching out his hand to help her stand. She accepted, and was soon on her feet again. Soon, she and Inuyasha got into a good conversation, and he was telling her to make a shield again. This time, he had a timer out, and watched to see how long she could hold a shield. It started at ten seconds, but after another short conversation that allowed her to regain her strength, he asked her again. This time she held it for 13 seconds before getting tired. "You're getting better already," he said. "if we continue in this manner, you should be able to hold a pretty strong shield by the end of today. We'll worry about avoids next time."
"Okay." And again they were into another conversation. The two of them got to know each other better then before.
NORMAL POV
Soon the training ended and everyone was called into a group by Sesshomaru. "Well, since today went so well I say we go back to me and Inuyasha's house," he said. When they all agreed, they went over to his house and they all enjoyed the rest of the day.
1 WEEK LATER
"Well, here comes Naraku again," said Kagome as she saw the dumb monkey come wheeling up to the group. It had been time for them to say whether or not they accepted the challenge, and all of them were much better then they had been 1 week before. Kagome stepped forward.
"So, have you decided?" he asked.
"You get right to the point, don't you? Anyways, we accept your challenge. We just need to know where, when, and what time." She said.
"Meet her at this same time 8 weeks from now. I expect you will be ready by that time?" He asked them.
"Yes we will Naraku. Prepare to go down, because we won't lose."
