"Ok guys I am going to go to the hot springs I'll be back in a little bit!" Kagome shouted as she walked towards the hot spring that they pasted by a while back. Before she got out of earshot she heard some say ok and another voice said be safe. When she got to the hot spring she striped and got into the water sighing in pleasure. She then brought her hand up and felt the new necklace that was hanging around her neck; she grabbed it and brought it up to her face to look at it. 'I can't believe Sesshoumaru gave this to me It is so expensive in this time and I know it is priceless in my time I should know because I took it to a jewelers to get it clean about a week ago. I still can't believe that guy he tried to buy it off me and then tried to steal it! Oh well.' It was a pendent shaped like a dog howling with a crescent moon behind it with ruby eye (The one that was seen) and emeralds in the moon with diamonds out lining the whole thing. What got her was the dog was made with silver and the moon was made with Pure gold it the only way someone could afford this is if they were very rich. Her grandpa would have had a fit if he had saw it his book that he left her had a picture of a necklace that looked exactly like it! The book said it was an ancient necklace that the greatest warrior priestess wore five hundred years ago. That had surprised her first off if the book is correct then she shouldn't be wearing it! After all she ain't no great warrior and she not even a remotely good priestess. Second….. Who was she kidding there was no second anything! She shouldn't have this necklace in the first place Sesshoumaru must have been mistaken when he had given her the necklace in the first place!

She put the necklace back around her neck and started to scrub all the dirt and grime off her body. When she looked back up she had to keep herself form screaming. Their stood Sesshoumaru at the edge of the hot spring looking down at her with an emotion flashing in his eyes but it went by so fast she had no time to see what is was. "Se…Sesshoumaru. What are you doing her?" She stuttered out from embarrassment.

"I need to talk to you." Was all Sesshoumaru said then he turned around so Kagome could get out and get dressed. That is exactly what she did she wasn't about to sit naked in a hot spring talking to Sesshoumaru. She isn't THAT brave and Sesshoumaru knew that. After Kagome got dressed Sesshoumaru turned around walk to a tree and sat with Kagome sitting next to him. Before Kagome could ask what he wanted he started to tell her want he wanted. "I want you to come to my home and train before the battle with Naraku. Like I said before you have great power you just need to learn how to use it."

"But want about my bother, son, and friends. I can't just leave them behind." Kagome said looking down at her skirt.
"Your bother and son are allowed to come as for your friends the taijiya and the monk can do as they please Inuyasha well not come we both know that." Sesshoumaru said look at the hot spring that was sitting before them. "It would be for the best if you train and some where, where Naraku cannot find you that is why my home is best." Sesshoumaru looked down at Kagome as she looked up at him he knew she would say yes he just hoped it wouldn't come with to high of a price.

"Ok Sesshoumaru I will talk to them if most of them agrees then I will go. If not I will try to train when I can." Sesshoumaru nodded and looked off to the right were her camp laid. "I better go before Inuyasha or my bother start looking for me." She smiled gently up at him and quickly kissed him on the lips and ran as fast as she could for camp before his shock wore off.

"What a strange woman." Sesshoumaru said to himself before leaping off after her to see the fight that would no doubt erupt when she ask her companions about training with the enemy or in the there eyes enemy hers will he wasn't sure want she thought of him the only thing he knew was she didn't see him as a threat. Which in any other circumstances she would be wrong but now….. He didn't think anymore of it because the fun was about to start because he heard his half-bothers voice screaming 'what took you so long and why do you smell like Sesshoumaru' Then he heard the woman say 'sit' that is when he came upon the scene hiding in the trees where no one would notice him. Looking down he saw his half-brother just crawling out of the hole he made. 'Weak' was the only word that came to mind when he saw Inuyasha crawling away from Kagome.


'Why did I kiss him again?' Kagome screamed in her head 'I wouldn't say I didn't like it but come on! He was asking to train me not marry him! Where did that come from! I am losing my mind!' Kagome slowed down her running when she saw the glow of the fire of the camp her companions made and started to walk as to not alert them and make them think that there was something wrong. She took a deep breath 'Here I go Kami help me' she prayed then walking into the Camp site.

"What took you so long and why do you smell like Sesshoumaru?" was the first thing she heard out of Inuyasha that pissed her off so she sat him. "Why did ya do that?"

"Because I wanted to" She said then sat next to Shippo and Souta "Hey guy I need to ask you something." With that she got everyone attention "What if someone asked me to go with them so they can train me and I said yes what would you do."

"Go with you of course" was the reply from Sango "If you trust the person enough to go with them then I will trust them even if it hard for me."

"I think that would be wise Kagome-sama I would stay by your decision even if I myself don't understand it."

"Would I be able to go too" Was Shippo's question and was answered with a nod.

"Could I go to and be trained also?" was Souta's question.

"Yes you could come but I don't know about being trained also I would have to ask." Kagome answered.

"Hell no." Finally everyone heard the hounyu that as been yelling for the past ten minutes. "I won't let you go you don't need training I will protect you." Inuyasha said while staring at Kagome "Who would ask you such a thing? Uh you are worthless." Tears started to well up in Kagome eyes before anything else could be said Inuyasha was pinned against a tree by Sesshoumaru every one gasped and all Inuyasha could say was "Sesshoumaru…..….." Between gasp of breathe

"Say something like that again hanoyu then I WILL rip your tongue out of your mouth and feed it to you." Sesshoumaru said lightly but deadly air to it when he felt a small hand placed on his arm.

"It is ok Sesshoumaru you can let him go." Kagome said then he let Inuyasha go. "Sesshoumaru I would be glad to train with you if you would let Sango come also." Sesshoumaru just nodded.

"What about me?" said Miroku slightly offended.

"You can watch Inuyasha and make sure he stays out of trouble." Kagome said and Inuyasha huffed while everyone else laughed

"We leave in the morning." Said Sesshoumaru then he jumped into a tree. Then everyone else got ready for bed. Half way thought the night Sesshoumaru jump out of the tree to where Kagome was laying down "why are you still awake?" He asked her.

"I was wondering if you can train my bother he really wants to help everyone and scene it is to dangerous for he to be alone I would feel better knowing he could defend himself when I can't."

"I can mange to find someone to train him if it is what you want. Now sleep tomorrow well be a long day."

"Thank you Sesshoumaru" Kagome yawned and then fell asleep. When she did Sesshoumaru picked her up and sat where she was lying and held her to him like she was a new born.

"Anything to make you happy" He said when he was sure she was asleep and held her though the night watching her sleep.
