Next morning Chihiro woke, when someone was pushing her. She looked up and saw a very beautiful woman. She looked to be in her thirties. Her hair looked black, but Chihiro could see they were actually very Dark brown. Her hair were very long. She had jade gentle eyes and pale skin. She had also had tied her hair behind her neck with white ribbon.
"Good morning" she said
"Good morning" Chihiro answered
"Here, eat. After you're done put those clothes on. Come then outside" She smiled and left the room.
Chihiro was confused, but did as the woman had told her. The suit she had given her was shirt, little chest armour and skirt. Skirt just allowed her knees be seen, so she thought it was a warrior suit. Then she went outside. The woman was waiting there.
"Oh, there you are. Follow me." Chihiro did so, still little confused. While they walked, Chihiro asked:
"Excuse me, but who are you?"
"Oh, how stupid of me. My name is Nigihayami Kohana. Pleased to meet you" Woman said as she bowed. Her speaking was very formal, so Chihiro was sure she was noble.
"I'm Chihiro, princess of Human Kingdom"
"Yes, I know that already. Kohaku told me about you. I'm very grateful that you helped him those years ago." She said as she bowed again.
"You mean Haku? Is his real name Kohaku?"
"Yes, everyone but me always call him that. So it has been since we were little."
"You've known him that long?"
"Of course, I'm his sister."
"You are his sister? He told me about you yesterday. I really sorry for my sister about your parents"
"It's okay. I've got over it, sadly Kohaku has not. But don't worry about that."
"Where are we going?"
"You want to be warrior, right? Kagome asked me to get you, because she went to see her son"
"She has a son?"
"Yes, she's been married four years now. Ever since Kikyo died…."
"Kikyo?"
"Kagome's older sister. Poor woman. They were close, because Kikyo took care of Kagome after their parents died. It happened long before wars started. Kikyo was also married, but since she died… sigh Sad, we were close as children. She was my best childhood friend."
"You knew her?"
"Of course, she was my cousin."
"That…that means that Kagome is your cousin as well!"
"Yes. Didn't she tell you? Unbelievable. Well, we're here. Practise hard! I'll se you around!" she walked away. Chihiro watched her going
"There you are" Chihiro turned around and saw Kagome. She had changed her clothes as well, she now had a short violet dress with short sleeves. She had her bow in her hand and arrows in the pack in her back.
"Good morning Kagome-san"
"Morning for you too. Well, let's go in then, but I must warn that stay close me, someone might try to hurt you" Chihiro nodded to answer.
They entered the big hall. There were many girls practising fighting everyone had different suits
"Okay, first I tell you things about begin a warrior. First, you need to choose your weapon, it can be bow and arrows, sword or something else. Then you need to choose your element power. I have my water powers and spiritual powers. After you've chosen them, you need to learn to control them, it'll take few moths…then, when you feel that you're ready, I train you more, few weeks, then you can take a test, if you are good enough for warrior, but I must warn you, you can do the test just once, so don't even try to do it too early"
"Alright"
"Hey, Kagome-chan!"
"Oh, ohayoo, Sango-chan. When did you get back?" Kagome asked brown haired woman, who had a giant boomerang and black suit
"Yesterday night. Man, it was so dirty journey, I'm glad we got back. For once I'm happy that Shampoo was there, because Miroku tried to grope me every time we just weren't in a fight"
"Did you manage in your mission?"
"Yeah, we managed to save the people of the Earth Realm, but most of them are so dump that don't agree to leave with us. But few we got, I think they were mother's old friends"
"Uh…?" Chihiro was confused
"Oh, sorry, Chihiro, this is Sango, an Earth Spirit. She warrior too and she's my best friend"
"Oh nice to meet you"
"Are you a human?"
"Yes, I'm sorry if it bothers you"
"No! Not at all! I'm just happily surprised. We've tried to get a human here since forever! Nice to meet you too, Chihiro."
"Have you been a warrior for long?" Chihiro asked Sango
"About five years. And also I'm mother of ten children. That's what you get when you marry a perverted monk"
"A monk?"
"Yeah, Miroku. He's so unbelievable. Sometimes I wonder why did I even marry him?"
"Because you love him" Answered Kagome making Sango to blush little.
"I must go now, I didn't get much sleep in our journey. I'll see you later!" then she ran away
"Uh, Kagome, Kohana told me about your sister, I'm really sorry. You've lost all of your family"
"Oh, I'm okay with it. Oneechan didn't want me to be sad. Besides I have my new family."
"Your son and husband you mean?"
"Yes. Akehiko and Inuyasha. Though Inuyasha is away most of the time and I can't see Akehiko too often, because I need to train and go to fights"
"How old is your son?"
"Two years old. He's just learned how to talk."
"I see"
"Well, speaking of something else, what kind of powers and a weapon would you like to have?"
"I….I think I would like water powers. I've always loved water and swimming. And a sword as a weapon. I practised it a bit when I was little, before my father realised it and told me not to do it again, so it would be probably easy to learn using it again"
"I see. Then, follow me."
Chihiro followed Kagome to some room. When Kagome opened it's door and put lamps on, Chihiro gasped of surprise. The room was filled with different kind of weapons, form swords to just a metal stick. Next door seemed to say "Magical powers"
"You can now choose. I can unfortunately teach you only with your weapon. You would go to the Magic School. It's our school here that teaches our children and those who are new and don't know magic for some reasons. My son is there as well, but in the nursery school."
Chihiro just nodded. Magic school sounded interesting. She had never gone to the real school, she had always had a private teacher. One of the reasons why she didn't have many friends. Now, she could probably get new ones. Though, she already had made few, Kagome, Haku, and Kohana. It would be cool to get to know new people.
Kagome let Chihiro to look without rush. Finally, Chihiro chose a blue handled sword that had beautiful jades and emeralds on it. It seemed to be handmade and Chihiro thought it was really beautiful.
"A good choice. You have a good taste. That sword is really powerful and fits with water powers very well."
"Why hadn't anyone taken it yet then?"
"There has not been many new people joining us in past few years. They are such cowards that they seem to think that it's more save for them if they just join Sen and do as she asks. Some of us here try to make people to join us, like Sango and Miroku, but we don't have much luck. But we're trying our best"
"You here must be a real pain in her ass."
"Yes. She tries to kill us as much as she can, but not one of us have died in past four years. Oneechan was the latest. But I can't promise you that you won't wound in the battle. Many of us have wounded really badly sometimes. Specially Haku. He's sometimes so stubborn. Doesn't think his own life in the battle at all."
"But why? Why is he so stubborn?"
"I'm sorry, I can't tell. Haku would kill me if I did. It's his own personal secret. But I can say he hates two things in his life more than anything. Another is of course, Sen. But you must know by yourself who is the other one. I give you a hint:
He's someone who's betrayed by someone he loved. He's the only one our greatest enemy has ever cared."
Chihiro just nodded.
"You're free to leave now. You start your practises tomorrow. A school year starts after two weeks, so then you can go there as good fencer"
"Alright. Thanks"
Then she left. Kagome watched her going
"So, our Lady has finally came back"
"It seems so. But are you sure it's her?"
"She's already started to fall for the Lord"
"That's good, but what about the Lord? Can he ever love again after what Sen did?"
"I don't know. I guess we just need to wait and watch. Right now I trust that you take a good care of her for me?"
"Of course. I would have anyway. She's sweet girl"
"She indeed is. She'll make a good ruler"
"Are you going to tell the others?"
"No. It would go to the wrong ears. Not her or the Lord can't know about their destiny, before they both love each other enough"
"I see. I just wish it's soon. I really want to see Oneechan again"
"Yes. We all have lost our loved ones. Your cousin needs a wound healer as well"
"Yeah. But will you excuse me now. I promised to go see Akehiko"
"Of course Kagome. Just go"
"Thank you. Dumbledore-sama"
Well, here it is! The day of this chapter is not over yet, it continues in next one. I just needed to end this chapter here. As you see, I added more series. Dumbledore is from Harry Potter as I think you already know, I just had to add him here, because he is so good leader and vice and father figure for anyone. Shampoo is from Ranma, but she won't most likely appear much, because I don't really like her and here is going to be much more characters later even without her.
Then the translates:
Ohayoo: Good morning. Politely you say "Ohayoo gozaimasu"
San: A name-title. Polite. It means mister, misers, or miss
Sama: More polite name-title. It means lord or lady
I'm working with fourth chapter! Keep reading!
