That morning the kids had arrived all at once. Different ones of many ages had come through the great oak doors just to run to their parent's room. Cat demons, Dragon demons, and even some man eater wolves had come, scurrying around the castle as if it were their own.

Fights broke out within the castle, one royal family against the other. Wolves threatened the chamber maids regularly, their hunger getting the best of them. Sesshoumaru hardly cared what the "guests" were doing, but if it threatened one of his servants or maids he sent his body guard to control everything.

"Kagome," Sesshoumaru gently shook her sleeping form. "It's time to wake up. Training starts today."

"Uhhhhg.." she moaned, lifting her head from the pillow. She was NOT a morning person. "Do I haveta..." She hated waking up early.

Sighing, he picked Kagome up and plopped her in the restroom, throwing her sailor uniform into the restroom with her. "Hurry up and change. The whelps are here."

Squeaking, Kagome picked up the uniform and stuck her tongue out at Sesshoumaru. She got up and shut the door in his face, making sure to yell at him before completely latching the door.

Shaking his head, Sesshoumaru left his body guard in the room to train Kagome. "Take her to the dojo and make sure you train her with a sword. The bow and arrow are completely useless when it comes to these assassins." With those cheerful parting words, he swept out of the room, ready to be bombarded by little brats of all sizes and ages.

Dojo

"Uhm... Sorry if this sounds rude and all... but what's your name?" Kagome asked the youkai that was leading her towards the weapons rack.

The youkai looked at her with curious eyes, no one had ever cared if they were rude to him before. The girl was becoming more of an object of interest then anything else. "I am Atsuke, the Fire kitsune."

Kagome smiled, "Nice to meet you, Atsuke! I'm Kagome!"

Atsuke was taken aback with her sudden outburst of friendliness. ".." He took a long sword off the rack and tossed it to Kagome, who barely caught it by the hilt. He, himself took a silver spear off the rack and turned towards Kagome. "Go over to that end of the mat."

Kagome did what she was told and took the time to observe her adversary and trainer. He was a brilliant shade of red, orange and yellow hues spread all around his fur. Burning eyes stared out of the sleek fur, one particularly large lock of hair falling over one of his eyes. He wore a red loose top, his red pants coming to an end at his black shoes. Orange and yellowish gold kanji was writing over his uniform. A blue crescent on his forehead signified he was part of the Taisho household.

His tail stood upright, bending at the top in the opposite direction of his head. His clawed hands were jet black, wristbands on his wrists. A ribbon was tied around his forehead, an axe in a quiver rested on his back. The crescent moon also was imprinted on the quiver, with the word deadly on it.

It took awhile before Kagome noticed that he was waiting for her to attack, blushing with embarrassment, she held the sword like she held a shinai and lunged. She aimed for a head shot and was blocked with the spear. She floated in mid air for a little bit before he pushed her back, almost effortlessly.

She grunted with the force and barely landed on her feet. She gave a small grin of reassurance when Atsuke looked at Kagome a little bit worried. Confident that she was unharmed, he lunged at her and aimed for a side shot. "SIDE SHOT!" he yelled, gently tapping her in the side.

She was surprised with the speed of his attack and forgot to block. The tap was supposedly gentle by Atsuke but it hurt like HECK to Kagome. She bent down and grabbed her side, dropping the long sword she was holding.

Atsuke grew worried over her and bent down to check her side. It was bleeding. '' he thought, taking her hands away from her side.

He had no idea what to do. If he left her, who knows what the man eaters would do once they smelled her blood. But if he took her with him, a whole ruckus would be raised?
