Chapter 4 Training & The Truth
As dusk turns into dawn a soft even breathing could be heard. The dim light seeping into the room reflected off of the balcony window (sorry if I didn't mention the balcony) and onto the face of a young woman. She groaned in annoyance. 'crap, dawn already why me' she thought. That's when she heard the door open. "kagome, kagome time to get up" Saki spoke. Kagome groaned again. "ok just give me 10 more minutes" kagome said sleepily. "oh no I can't do that. Lord Sesshomaru has ordered me to wake you up this instant he's says not to be late or…well I really don't know what he'll do but its best not to make him wait" Saki said as she pulled back the covers. Kagome shuddered as the cold air hit her legs. "all right I'm up, I'm up". kagome actually got up and changed into some baggy black training pants and a dark green top. Saki pulled kagome's hair up into a high pony-tail. "Sesshomaru say to meet him in the dojo so you'd better hurry up it's almost dawn" Saki rushed. "ok ok". Kagome finally arrived at the dojo after getting slightly confused.
Kagome slid open the door to peek inside. Great no one was there. Kagome stepped inside the dojo and shut the door. As she turned around she was face to face with Lord Sesshomaru himself. Kagome gulped and didn't move. 'crap, crap, crap times infinity' she thought. "your late" "uhh…well you see I kinda got turned around a little, sorry" she bowed. Sesshomaru gave a 'hn' and turned towards the wall. "I want you to pick a weapon and that will be your weapon through out your training". kagome went to the wall and looked over all the items. There were tons of swords, bows and daggers. Kagome browsed down the wall. 'hm which one' she thought. That's when she spotted a beautiful sword. The hilt was black with clear crystals at the top. And the blade was well shined and had a black swirl goin half way down the blade. "cool". 'why did she choose that blade out of all the rest, on strong willed demons can actually wield it correctly' Sesshomaru thought to himself. "ok miko lets see what you've got" at that Sesshomaru charged at kagome. And out of surprise and a tinge of fear she pulled the sword in front of her blocking Sesshomaru's attack. "don't turn away, face me. Never turn your eyes away from your opponent, they may do this!". Sesshomaru swung his blade upward towards kagome's side. His sword missed her skin by a mere inch but did get her shirt. "hey! That could've hit me" kagome shouted.
"well that was the point" Sesshomaru said blandly. "grr…ok that's it" kagome said as she charged at our sexy demon lord. This went on for several hours. Blocking, dodging and attacking. Since Sesshomaru only gave kagome one break. She was pooped when they finished. "that's enough for today, you've actually done well for a silly human". kagome looked at him with one eyebrow raised. "thanks….. I guess". Kagome and Sesshomaru left for the castle in complete silence. Once back in her room kagome collapsed onto the bed with a 'huff. "god my muscles hurt so bad, and I think I've got a Charley horse" kagome whined. "I see the lord has given you quite a workout" "yeah Saki, could you prepare some clothes for me to wear, I'm going to take a bath" kagome said as she opened the door to her hot spring. "sure think kagome" . once in the warm water kagome practically sunk to the bottom. 'Oh man this feels so good' she thought. 'Sesshomaru really did give me a workout, but why'd he pause when I picked up the sword, oh well. Better get ready for lunch'. kagome got out of the hot spring much to her disappointment and put on a beautiful lavender kimono with flower imprint. She let her hair hang as she left for the dining room.
Once she stepped in the room she was bombarded with hugs and questions. "hi kagome-chan Rin couldn't wait to see you" the little hyperactive child said. "hello Rin and how are you Shippo" "I'm good momma, did Sesshomaru hurt you" he asked. "no Shippo he didn't". that's when Rin's' stomach rumbled. Kagome laughed "well lets eat I'm hungry too". after eating lunch kagome took the kids out to play.
(Kag's POV)
'wonder how Inuyasha and the others are doing'
Humph forget that traitorous dog he's not worth thinking about
'I know but it's just hard'
sigh no it's not just push him out of your head
'bu-' I was cut off from well myself.
No if, and or buts about it, just leave him alone don't associate yourself with him
'hm you sound kinda like Sesshomaru'
Hn, just keep focused
'ok' I said as I watched the children chase Jaken with sticks. I laughed as they tortured him.
(End POV)
(Sesshy POV)
As I watch the kids play and poke jaken with sticks my thoughts always drifted to the miko. Why had she chosen that sword. I'd never admitted that she actually handled that sword like a pro. Like she had used it before. Man this woman is very confusing. Why does she remind me of someone I've met before. And yet I've never seen her until I went to my fathers grave. Grrr. Who is she! Man I need to relax. I walked over to a maid and told her to put a robe and towel in my hot spring.
'stupid wench, I've never thought about a woman this much'
Maybe you like her
'what me like a human that's ridiculous
You like Rin
'yes, but Rin is just a child'
Yeah and kagome is older, more mature, more ripe
'uh, be quiet I don't need to here that from you' I thought as I shoved my conscious into a pickle jar wrapped in duck tape and threw it into a lake. (hehe)
'finally, peace and quiet' I thought as I stepped into the hot spring. Maybe I'll talk to the miko after this.
(End POV)
Kagome walked into the castle carrying a sleep Shippo and a drowsy Rin. 'well that's one way to tire them out' she thought. As she walked towards their rooms she ran into (not really) Sesshomaru who was only wearing a partly opened robe and towel around his neck. "uhh… Lord Sesshomaru can I do something for you" kagome asked as she looked away from him. "yes I'd like to talk to you in my room once you put the children to bed" he spoke as he left for his room. 'his room oh my what did I do' she thought but was jerked out by Rin's movement. Kagome quickly put them in their rooms. (it's not bed time its nap time) she passed a few maids as she walked to Sesshomaru's room. There she was greeted my those maple doors. She knocked and heard a 'come in' by Sesshomaru. She opened the door and found the room beautiful. It was huge. It was mostly lavished in crimson reds and maroon. The bed was not surprisingly bigger that hers. It was covered in silk crimson covers with red silk pillows. There was a dresser a large desk filled with neatly stacked papers and ink. And of course Sesshomaru was there in all his glory
"kagome, I don't know much about you, and yet you remind me of someone" he said as he stepped closer to her. "uhh, really well I-I really don't know-" kagome was a loss for words. What is she suppose to say to that. As he got closer she back up until she couldn't go any further. Sesshomaru bent down and looked into her eyes. He felt drawn into her chocolate orbs. 'why is he just starring'. 'why can't I look away' he thought. He continued to look until their contact was broken by a knock on the door. Sesshomaru jerked his head up. "uhh, yes come in" he said still some what dazed. When the door opened jaken stepped in. "milord I've just received a message for you" he said as he handed him the letter. (I've got no clue how but he did) as he looked over the letter his face faltered and went into shock but he quickly recovered. "so it seems all of the other Lords and Ladies will be coming over to visit in a week" he spoke. "jaken, tell the servants and maids to prepare for their arrival" "yes milord" jaken said as he scurried off. "kagome I expect you and your kit to be on your best behavior" "oh yes Sesshomaru-sama" kagome spoke. "yes, well then you are dismissed. Kagome bowed her head and left the room.
"ugh what happened in there it was like I couldn't turn away from his gaze. Jeez that was weird.". For the next two days kagome and Sesshomaru trained in the dojo and the third day they actually trained out side. (and because I'm a little lazy I'm skipping to the next day).
Lunch had just ended and Rin and Shippo were taking a nap, when a thought popped into her head. She hadn't seen her parents in almost a month. Great they probably thought she was dead and her school work had to be stacked so high that she would die if it fell over on her. 'great, my grades are probably lower than the chances that miroku would stop being a pervert' she thought. (man that's low) 'guess it wouldn't hurt to ask'. kagome walked up to Sesshomaru's door and knocked. "come in" was heard and she stepped in. "umm Lord Sesshomaru I was wondering if I could go and see my family for a day" she asked. He turned his head away from his work and looked at kagome. "and where would your home be" he asked. "uhh, well by the well in Inuyasha's Forest" she said. 'hmm, there are no huts by that damned forest' he thought. At first he wasn't going to allow it, but then he wondered where she had come from and why she dressed the way she did. "hm… yes I'll allow it, on the condition that I accompany you" he said as he stood up. "ahh…well um of course"
Kagome packed up her belongings and told Shippo that she would be back the next day. Shippo hugged her and let her go with Sesshomaru. They hoped onto his cloud-thingy and flew away. Again the ride was quite and long, but worth it. As they landed near the well Sesshomaru spoke "now where is your home there are no huts here" he asked a little angry. "well it's down the well" kagome said embarrassed. "you live in a well" he asked confused. And this time he let it show by raising an eyebrow. Kagome giggled at his confusedness. "what's so funny, does this Sesshomaru amuse you" he asked. "kinda" she whispered. But he heard her. Just jump into the well with me and you'll see. Just promised that you won't hurt anyone when we get there" kagome pleaded. "this Sesshomaru doesn't take orders". kagome just rolled her eyes and grabbed his good arm. "come on now" she said as they jumped into the well. There was a flash of blue and purple and then they landed in the well. "phew, glad it let you threw" kagome spoke as she climbed up the ladder, but was grabbed around the waist and hoisted up.
Sesshomaru was about to say something but was pummeled by the smell of humans. It was so strong that it almost knocked him over. "oh no, your nose. The smell is to strong for you" kagome said as she felt Sesshomaru start to lean his weight on her. "ahh Sesshomaru, try to just focus on my scent maybe you would feel better" she said. And he did, it made him feel lots better. That's when he realized that he was still very very close to her. He composed himself like always and was lead into the house by kagome. "mom, souta, gramps I'm home" she shouted. Sesshomaru in response clutched his ears. Kagome noticed and apologized. "oh kagome, I'm so glad that your home" her mom Mia (that's what I'm callin her)said as she hugged her. That's when she spotted Sesshomaru. 'those markings' she thought. "AHH! DEMON!" kagome's grandpa shouted as he placed 5 sacred sutras on the demon lord. "grandpa stop it" kag's said as she helped Sesshomaru peel off the sutras.
"hey cool" souta said as he started to fiddle with Sesshomaru's tail-pelt thingy. Sesshomaru let out a growl. This was ridiculous. He should've killed them already. Why hadn't he.
Cause you don't want hurt her
'hm, go away will you'
Fine but I'll be back
Once his conscious was gone he turned his attention back to the family of three. Souta had stopped playing with his tail and was now showing kagome a test. "wow souta and A, good job" "so kagome who's your friend" "oh mom this is Inuyasha's older half brother Lord Sesshomaru" . "ahh lord well then it's wonderful to have you here" Mia said as she bowed. "so sis where is Inuyasha" souta asked. Ouch that hit a nerve. "Inuyasha and I are no longer traveling together. We gone our separate ways" "oh really, well ok" souta said knowing not to press the subject any longer. 'there's something very familiar about these people' Sesshomaru thought to himself as he tried to remember, but was pushed back from a memory barrier. "kagome your almost eighteen and there's something that I need to tell you" Mia said as she motioned for kagome to sit. "you see your not human" "what" "and your father is not dead he's the Lord of the Northern Lands" "WHAT!" she shouted but then remembered Sesshomaru's ears. "oh sorry" "cool so does that mean that you're a demon too mom" souta asked happily. "yes dear you, your sister and grandpa are demons" Mia spoke. "so why is my eighteenth birthday so important" kagome asked. "well you see that's when the spell on your demonic form will disappear and you will regain all of your past memories. And you as well will get your memories of kagome back" Mia spoke as she stood up. "so can I see your true form mom" "of course sweetie". Mia closed her eyes and a blue-ish glow enveloped her. Once the light was gone there stood Mia in demon form.
She had shoulder length black hair and a black tail behind her. She had grown at least 4 or 5 inches taller. Mia also had two green stripes on her cheek with a green diamond shaped mark on her forehead. She was also wearing the classic Lady of the Northern Lands kimono which was black with green trees and flowers. "wow mom you look beautiful" kagome said stunned. "why thank you, dad are you going to change" "you don't have to ask me twice" he said and once again the blue-ish light consumed her grandpa and was gone in a second. And in his place stood a silver haired demon with brown eyes. He as well had a green diamond mark and green stripes. And her grandpa was now standing straight up, not hunched over. His tail swishing behind him. You could tell he was older than Sesshomaru, but other than that he looked pretty good. "hey what about me" souta whined. Mia just laughed. She bent down and touched his forehead. Souta was covered in a darker blue than his mom or grandpa, but it left just as it had come. There stood souta about 3 inches taller. He had long black hair that was being held in and loose ponytail. His eyes changed from brown to bright lime green. Souta also had blue stripes and a blue diamond mark. "cool this is awesome". Mia and kagome just laughed. "souta since you're a Prince your have to wear your tail over your right shoulder. All dog demons do" Mia grinned. "ok" "so when do I transform mom" kagome wondered. "you know the box that your father had given you" kagome thought for a minute. "yeah do mean that box that doesn't open no matter whet I do" kagome huff. She had been trying to get that thing open of years.
"yes dear, that box has your demon locked inside it and it will only open on your eighteenth birthday". "ok, so are you guys coming back with us or staying here" "we're going to come with you I think it's time for you guys to meet your father" Mia said happily. "what about the house and all the friends that I'd made. don't you think they'll get suspicious if we just leave" kagome said. "don't worry once we go through the well everyone will forget about us and that we've even lived here" kagome's grandpa spoke. "ok so lets go". Everyone had gotten to the well house and jumped in, and just as kagome's grandpa had spoke of, everyone who had ever known kagome and her family automatically forgot about them.
(With Inu Gang)
"Inuyasha where have you been, we had to fight a demon and we really could've used your help" Sango said. Obviously pissed. "I was lookin' for kagome you baka" he retorted. "grr…INUYASHA IF YOU HAD NEVER GONE OFF WITH KIKYO AND BROKEN KAGOME'S HEART THEN MAYBE SHE'D STILL BE HERE!" sango screamed hurting the hanyou's ears. "damn it sango why'd you yell" Inuyasha yelled back as he let go of his ears. Sango was about to go wack Inuyasha upside his thick head, but as usual miroku was holding her back. For fear that she might kill the half dog demon. Inuyasha was about to start yelling again but stopped. He sniffed the air. "it can't be" he said lowly. "what is it Inuyasha" miroku asked.
"it's kagome"
