On The Other Side
Chapter 3 - Learning How To Fight
Kagome awoke, hearing the sound of her mother's voice. "Kagome! Dinner's ready!" Kagome yawned a bit and sat up, looking down at the cat in her lap. "Oh Buyo..." She gently picked him up and set him down on her pillow. "Coming mom!" She stood and quickly got dressed. She ran down to the dinning table and smiled to her family. Ms.Higurashi passed out their plates and sat down herself. They ate in silence.
Kagome quickly washed her dishes and looked to the time, 7 P. Her mother looked to her as Kagome walked slowly up the stairs. "It's a bit early for bed, dear..." Kagome turned towards her and smiled. "Yes I know, but I want to get some rest..." Her mom nodded a bit. Kagome smiled. "Alright... goodnight..." Her mother returned her smile. Souta spoke up. "Hey mom, I met some friends at school. I was wondering if I could go over maybe tomorrow night?" Her mom smiled and nodded. "Yes of course... what are their names?" Souta looked up to her. "Uhh... well I'm going over to Kohaku's with Shippo and Rin.." Her mom smiled warmly. "I've met that Shippo, he is just adorable, does any of them have any older sisters or brothers that Kagome could meet?" Souta nodded. "Yeah... Kohaku has an older sister, Sango. And Rin I think has some kind of baby sitter, his name is Sesshoumaru." Kagome turned towards them. "I've met Sango..." Her mom looked to her and smiled. "I bet that Sango doesn't want to deal with 4 kids on her own, how about you go with Souta and spend some time with your new friend?" Kagome nodded a bit. "Sure..." Her mom smiled. "Will you ask her tomorrow at school." Kagome nodded and continued to walk up the stairs. She laid in her bed and curled up to Buyo. Buyo purred a bit and soon fell asleep, along with Kagome, after having done all her homework.
She awoke yet again on her roof. The sun was setting. She stood and looked to her outfit. It was different than before. Now she was wearing, a black skirt, a dark blue belt wrapped around it. Her shirt was black with a light blue bow at the top, it was strapless and seemed to have a dark blue anti-cross going down the middle. Where the skirt ends, she has a strap for each leg, which held some weapons, they looked like small pitchforks (A/N: The weapons that Electra has)). She had her cape on and a light blue bow in her hair, and concluding it, she had some light blue boots on. She smirked. 'I actually like this outfit...' She looked up, seeing InuYasha. He had a serious look, and was glaring at her a bit. Kagome eyed him. "What? Is something wrong?" He growled. "What were you thinking?" She jumped at his yelling. "What do you mean?" He growled. "Your not supposed to say ANYTHING about us being vampires to the outside world!" He eyed her as she winced a bit. "Come to think of it, how can you remember?" She looked up to him. "What are you talking about?" "Your... your one of the gifted?" She tilted her head. "What?" He bowed his head to her. "I am sorry... I didn't know.." She watched him. "Uhh.. what's going on?" He looked up to her. "You have a gift." She tilted her head. "I do?" He nodded. "Now come... today, I want to teach you how to fight."
They walked down the street, seeing Sango and Miroku. InuYasha yelled to them. "Sango! Miroku!" They both turned and ran over. "You two going fighting also?" Sango asked as InuYasha nodded. "Yeah..." Kagome trolted over to Sango. "Do you think I can stay the night with you tomorrow night?" Sango looked at her. "Uhhh... I don't know... probably, but you might want to talk with me in my human state about that..." Kagome nodded. "Alright." They walked and walked and walked, finally another vampire came to them, Kagome reconized her. "Kagura?" She looked to Kagome and smiled. "Oh Kagome... hello..." Kagura looked to Miroku. "I've heard rumors that you are the hardest vampire to kill? Besides Naraku?" Miroku smirked and nodded. Kagura scoffed. "I will fight you, now!" He smiled evilly, and pulled his double sided axe from his backstrap. "Come at me..." His scratchy voice sent a chill through Kagome. Kagura nodded in pleasure at killing someone. She pulled out a metal fan from her belt and opened it. "Are you ready Monk?" He purred and nodded. Kagura threw it to him, as he flicked his wrist, making his axe knock into her fan, splitting the small metal piece into two.
He smirked. "Wanna try that again?" She scoffed. "Now you've done it..." She ran to him, two fans in her hands. She began to slice him up, with her frontal attacks. She stopped and backed away looking to him. He purred again, loving the feel of his own blood running down his
stomache. He ran up to her in a flash of purple and had his axe to her back. "You move... I'll slice you in two, just like your fan over there... if I were you, I'd back down once I got the chance." She hissed. "Fine!" She pulled a feather from her hair and flew away. Miroku smirked as Kagome looked to him. She ran up to him, gently touching above his wound. "Are you alright." He smirked to her. "I'm perfectly fine..." He walked off towards Sango and smiled to her. She smiled back. "Little brother..." All four of them looked up to see Sesshoumaru looking directly at InuYasha. "Are you looking for a battle?" InuYasha nodded a bit. "Well I have one for you..." InuYasha tilted his head. "Oh?" Sesshoumaru threw a bloodthirsty vampire to the ground. "He has the ability to drink another vampires blood, I suggest you be careful." Sesshoumaru dissapeared in a silver mist.
InuYasha looked down at the vampire and smirked. The vampire stood and smiled to the half breed. "You are the enemy... just like that brother of yours." InuYasha growled. "You mean dogs?" The vampire nodded a bit and ran after him. InuYasha unclipped his whips and held them firmly in his hands. He wrapped one of his whips around the vampires leg in one swift move, then the other around his neck. InuYasha smirked and pulled the already weak vampire to the ground. He quickly looked up to him. "I will die in honor fighting the enemy." InuYasha scoffed, and whipped the vampire's back, making blood splatter on the ground. InuYasha looked to the small puddle of blood in pure pleasure. InuYasha wrapped both whips around the vampire's ankles. InuYasha smirked as he yanked on his whips, making a horrible cracking sound come from the vampire's legs. "Seems I've broken your legs, now you cannot walk... hmm... quite a problem you have there." The vampire hissed and grabbed InuYasha's ankle. "Kill me..." Blood poured from his mouth as he spoke. InuYasha smirked and wrapped his whip around the vampire's neck, he stood on the vampire's back and snapped his neck in a quick movement.
Miroku clapped. "Nice InuYasha... now we need someone to fight these women." He nodded his head to Sango and Kagome. Sango smirked. "I can't wait... let's go..." Kagome looked at the vampires infront of her. 'Am I the only sain one here?' Sango walked over to InuYasha. InuYasha smirked to her. "Sango, I think that you should show Kagome how the women here fight..." Sango nodded and helped InuYasha off of the motionless body. Sango kept her eyes open, ready to fight at any momment. "Come come now... anyone here? Needs a battle to lose?" She called down a small alley. A woman vampire walked out and smirked to her. "I was just looking for a battle, thank you for volenteering to die... miss?" Sango quirked an eyebrow. "Sango and you are...?" The woman laughed a bit. "I cannot believe you haven't seen me, my name is Yura... I fight with no weapons." Yura eyed Sango's metal boomerangs, her chained kama and her boots. Sango eyed her back. "Well I do." Yura shrugged. "As you wish." Sango smirked and held her chained kama tightly. Yura ran to her, blades came out from her boot toes and from her arms. Sango smirked and kicked tripped her, making the spikes on the bottom of her boot, slice through Yura's own boots. Sango smirked at her.
Yura looked up at her and quickly got up. Sango threw one of her metal bomerangs, making it slice through Yura's side, the boomerang came back to her as Sango caught it. Yura winced as she held her wound tightly. Sango walked up to her. "Now... die..." Sango stabbed her chained kama into her stomache, and pulled it out slowly, intensifying the pain. She smirked at Yura and kicked her in the head, making Sango's spikes slice through her temple. Sango stood and watched as Yura suffered her final momments of life. Sango walked off, back to Miroku and smiled. She looked to Kagome. "It's your turn..." Kagome gulped as she walked beside InuYasha. InuYasha yelled to the town. "Is there anyone who wants to challenge a begginer?" A male vamp. came to InuYasha. "You don't look like a beginner." InuYasha pointed to Kagome. The vamp. nodded and smirked to the woman infront of him, he spinned his daggers as he waited for Kagome to make her move.
Kagome pulled out her blades and ran to him. He smirked and tripped her, she fell and hissed to him. He nodded. "Yeah... your a beginner." Kagome stood quickly and threw one of her blades to him, he caught it with no problem. "Your going to have to try harder than that." He threw it to her. As she caught it. 'Oh my god! I caught it!' She looked to the blade in shock and then turned to InuYasha. "Look! I caught it! I caught it!" InuYasha smiled. "You idiot turn to your fighter." The vampire chuckled. "Your lucky I'm nice." Kagome smiled to him. 'Wow... he's pretty cute.' She ran after him again, finally having the satisfying feeling of her blade slicing through his stomache. He winced and smirked. "Nice one... I think I'll stop here." He put his blades back and held out his hand. "I'm Kouga." Kagome smiled. "I'm Kagome." She shook his hand and pulled away. "Well see ya, Kagome!" Kagome nodded and waved as Kouga ran off. InuYasha looked to her. "Are you really that dence?" She looked to him. "Hmm?" InuYasha sighed. "Your not supposed to talk to another person when your in battle." She smiled. "Sorry... I just... have never really caught a blade before." He smiled. "It's fine." Kagome nodded. "Alright." InuYasha turned to the group. "Now that that's over with, it's feeding time." They all nodded. InuYasha saw a human walking down the street, he smiled and creeped up on him, he bit him silently as the man screamed for help.
InuYasha whiped the blood from his mouth and looked to Kagome, Sango and Miroku. "Alright, I'll be on Kagome's roof if anyone needs me, Sango... help Kagome feed, ok?" Sango nodded. "Right." InuYasha ran off and Sango turned to Kagome. "Alright come on.." Kagome nodded. Sango pointed to a woman walking down the street. "See her... now look inside of her, use your vampire powers, you can sence how much blood you'll need from her, and how much it'll help you. Now... if her blood is red, it means she'll help you... if it's an orange it will still help you but not as much, and if it's yellow, it won't help you at all... maybe a little but not alot." Kagome nodded and examined the figure. She turned to Sango. "She has red blood." Sango nodded. "Then go and get her." Kagome nodded and walked towards the oblivious woman. She bit her with a little resistance but not too much. She drained the woman's life completely and looked to Sango. Sango smiled and gave her a thumbs up. "Now you never want to end up like Miroku... he's horrible... seriously. He lives to kill." Kagome looked over at Miroku, which had killed a numerous amount of people. "Kagome listen to me, when your in the vampire's realm, your the opposite of what you are in the real world, unless your one of the gifted ones. Which means you are the same." Kagome nodded, trying her hardest to remember all of this.
Sango quickly fed off of one human male. She looked to Kagome and smiled. "It's almost sundown, you should go." Kagome nodded a bit. "Yeah... I should, bye Sango, tell Miroku bye for me!" Kagome ran off. "I WILL! BYE KAGOME!" Sango waved and walked home with Miroku. Kagome ran to her house and looked up at the roof. 'Again, I need InuYasha to get me up there.' "INUYASHA!" He looked down to her and smiled. "Well there you are." He jumped down and picked her up. He jumped on the roof and set her down. "There we go." Kagome smiled and nodded. InuYasha looked to her. "Didja feed?" Kagome nodded. "Yeah I did..." He tilted his head. "See, it wasn't that bad, now was it?" Kagome shook her head. "No not really... but at first... it's just sorta creepy." InuYasha nodded. "Yeah I agree. But remember don't talk about what you do in this realm to the outside world, ok?" Kagome nodded. "Yeah ok... I won't." InuYasha nodded. "Alright... good." Kagome smiled. "Alright..." Kagome stared at him as InuYasha stepped closer to her, pulling her into his arms softly. He looked to her as she looked to him. Kagome stood on her tiptoes and gently kissed him on the lips. He tenced but found himself kissing her back. Then he dissapeared. "Goodnight, InuYasha." The sun came up as Kagome also dissapeared from the vampires' realm.
MirokuLoover A/N: Ok ok... This one was mostly showing you how each individual fights, but guess what! Kagome WILL get better. But for now, she's new, she wouldn't know how to control these blades completely. Well don't forget to e-mail me at or if you want the pictures I drew of the characters in vamp. form.
