Chapter 8: Training. Summery: Kagome is training and Tohru is about to start her training.

Kagome looked at the man in shock. He walked around her and made her turn around. "What are you doing?"

"I was checking you out. Nice school uniform."

Kagome blushed. "You can teach me to use a bow, right?" Kagome hoped that this man could do more then just stare at her ass.

"I can teach you how to use a bow, if that is what you want me to do." Kagome could not believe this at all.

"I would like to go home."

"You have to choose to be turned into a demon, if you go home or you could have one of the local Gods give you a lift."

"I really don't want to be turned into a demon. I like being a human."

"Now, Kagome. I see you have a bow. Where are your arrows?"

"They appear."

"I see, how do they appear?"

"I am not sure, It has to do with some kind of Miko power. Over time, I will be able to produce a bow, too."

Mike coughed. "Since, I am not a Miko, I can not began to understand how you create arrows from energy. I will let you barrow some arrows and you can practice with them. 4 hours a day should help improve you archery skills." He lead Kagome to a room where she could sleep and bath. "20 minutes. I will be back."

After a few days, Kagome learned how to use the bow. She is still a beginner, but she is practicing. Mike did not give her much trouble. However, she did start to wonder about his talent. Kagome shot an arrow just in the outside target. "I hit it!"

Mike could not help but laugh. "Only, 4 days."

"What is your talent? Or, do you like to train people and criticism them."

"I am not a trainer. I will teach you how to fight with a ball and chain once you hit the target."

"I am not going to marry you."

"No, real chains." (A/N: The ball and chain is in the movie Kill Bill Volume 2. I like that item. I am not sure it is possible to have Scorpion's weapon, yet.)

Kagome did not understand but she did see the movie when her mom was not home, so she did know what it looked like anyhow. Kagome ate with him and the other men that lived in that area of Outworld. Being the only women did leave her to be alone. The men seemed to be very focused on training and fighting. They did not have time to talk to her.

She missed Inuyasha but knew he would be find with out her. She hoped he would not miss her, too much. Shippo would miss her the most and she hoped that she would be able to see him, again. Sango did seem to have become more of a friend to her over the past year. The monk stayed close to Sango and did not let her out of his sight.

She would have to find some way to release the wolf in her body. She hoped one of the Gods in this time could help her with that problem.

Time passed slowly, it had been a month since Mike gave her, her first lessen in how to handle those chains. Her hands were bruised and raw from all the training. She did hit herself more than once with the chains and that ball hurt. That thing just swings around and wham! Aw. Kagome tried very hard to do this but she kept getting hurt.

The male population did not bother her in her training, much. They would stop to stare at her. Sometimes, they would give her tips on how to improve her skill but many would just let her practice with Mike.

Two months passed and Kagome wanted to see her mother. She wanted to see her grandfather and she wanted to go to school.

Mike looked at her sadly. "I am afraid this will be your last day with us. Your archery is improving. I hope you will practice every day. I may even see you again, some day. Before, you leave I would like to let you know that we are very pleased that you trained here." Kagome smiled and cried. She would miss him because she did not know how to get back to Outworld.

Tohru's POV

"You are to train with this stick." The still looked as long as a pool que but twice as thick. The women did not seem to be very friendly. How am I going to get back to the guys. They need me and I need them. I hope they will not worry too much about where I am.

The women throw the stick at me. I burley caught it. "Train?"

"You will train for 3 months. Then, you can go home."

Another chapter, done. Yes. It did not take me very long to write this chapter. I am bring Tohru along to keep Kagome company throughout most of my story. I can't have her crying in every chapter.
