My computer suddenly crashed and we had to buy several parts to fix it. Unfortunatly, all the memory from the computer had to be deleted and replace with a new one. That meant deletion of all my wallpapers, songs, and my gba files. Fortunatly, I was lucky enough to backup all my fanfics in a floppy disc! Well now I'm back with a whole new chapter. You're lucky that I finally decided to update...just read and review...

Disclamer: Repeat after me: I...Do...NOT...own...Inuyasha...(now repeat)

Ch.7 Training Session

Gramps stroked his chin again and tilted his eyes toward the ceiling. "Hmm...so you want to know how to activate your powers right?" Kagome and Sango nodded their head in agreement. "Yup!". Gramps compiled his thoughts on what to do and came up with an idea to help Kagome. He layed his palm onto the floor and slowly stood up. Sango lifted an eyebrow. Surprises are something that Kagome's family are really great at making. Gramps was no exception.

He went to his study desk and quickly wrote something on a small sheet of paper. Gramps sat back down and handed the piece of paper to Kagome and waited. Kagome took the paper and read it very carefully. It wrote: 'Fumi Haronu, 555-8150'.

After Kagome and Sango read the small paper, they both looked at Gramps. "Gramps, who's Fumi Haronu?" Kagome was the first one to speak. Gramps scratched his head. "Fumi is a very good friend of mine's niece and she is also a priestess. Although I don't know how you can activate and control your powers, she does. You see, for the next 2 weeks starting tommorrow, she will be coming here to teach you and also train you on your powers."

Kagome nodded and both her and Sango walked out of the room and left Gramps to go back meditating. "So Kagome, can I watch you train and stuff to see if your powers are really real?" Kagome smiled. "Yeah sure, and I guarantee you, my powers are as real as me winning the bet. Oh and of course, I forgot your end of the bargain. Since it's not fair for just me to have consequences, I think that I should make some for you too." Sango shrugged, "What's the worse thing that you can do to me?" Kagome's evil smirk crept back onto her face. "If I win the bet,...hmm...aha!...If I win the bet, you'll have to liplock with Miroku in the courtyard...in front of the whole school."

Sango gasped with horror. "And you said that I was cruel..."

Kagome smirked. "I know...I am."

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

"God Miroku, I can't get her out of my mind!" Miroku slapped Inuyasha's back and laughed. "It seems that someone has taken a liking towards little miss Kagome." Inuyasha growled dangerously at Miroku. Miroku secretly shuddered. "Grrr...shut the hell up Miroku, I don't like that slut alright? I can't get her out of my mind because of what she did to me today. She's stronger than she looks." Miroku slumped onto the Laz-y-boy recliner and sighed. "True that my friend, this is just the reason why I don't touch her anymore. I still have marks from the last time she slapped me."

Inuyasha and Miroku was at the mansion and in Inuyasha's room. Inuyasha was standing against the wall and looked up at the ceiling as he talked. "Miroku, you still have marks from the last time those 200 other girls slapped you." Miroku grinned foolishly, "It's not my fault that I'm way too attracted to those girls." Inuyasha ignored the rest of Miroku's rants about him and girls and walked straight out of the room. He needed to be alone for a while.

"So Sango, are you up for it?" Sango grumbled quietly, "Whatever." Kagome moved her hand onto her ear mockingly and sweetly whispered, "Sorry, can't hear you." Sango clenched her fist; Kagome was starting to irratate her, "Fine, I'll do it, but I can assure you, at the end I will win!" The girls entered Kagome's room and flung themselves onto her bed. Sango sat up and changed the subject, "Kagome, shouldn't we be doing our homework?"

Kagome stared at Sango, "Homework? What came over you, Sango?" Sango grabbed her bookbag, "Nothing, I just want to get my homework done so we could go to the mall." Kagome reached for her text books," 'K, let's start with math."

Inuyasha paced up and down the tranquility garden. It was the only place he could get his privacy. In every room, there was either a maid cleaning, or a huge window with no glass pane. 'What should I do...' He thought, 'there has to be someway that I can spy on Higurashi without her finding out...got it!' Inuyasha slammed his fist onto the palm of his hand 'I'll sneak by her house tommorow afternoon and see what she's up to...then I'll bet she'll be training with her powers! I'm a genius! I just wonder why I always get a D for every academic subject in school...'

He exited the garden and went back into his room to sleep where images of his plans played throughout his dream. Inuyasha growled happily in his sleep...His plans will soon be in action.

Next Day

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

"Training...fight...ahhh...attack..." mumbled Kagome. She was in deep slumber under the pink covers of her bed. She was totally oblivious to the curious head floating over her. "Wakey, wakey, little girl..." Kagome showed no sign of movement. The woman in robes grinned, "Oh well, time to resort to plan B," she carefully took off the thick covers and pinched Kagome's arm.

"AHHHHHH...!" Kagome's eyes shot open and she quickly sat up. While nursing her arm, she looked at the woman with a lifted eyebrow. "Umm...who are you and what are you doing inside my house?" Kagome quietly groped around her side table for something to hit the woman in case she was a burglar. The woman caught site of this and moved hand to face the object. A misty aura shot from her hand and knocked the item from Kagome's grasp, "My child, do not fear, I am Fumi Haronu and I shall be your personal trainer for 2 weeks."

Kagome looked at the fallen object and back to Fumi. A strange woman she was, but her trainer nonetheless. "So, Ms. Haronu, when do we start training?" It took only seconds to answer her question as Fumi dragged Kagome down the stairs and outside to the yard.

Out in the front yard, Kagome sat on the dew covered grass, yawning every minute. Fumi droned on and on and on about the basics of being a miko and how they used their extraordinary powers to slay and destroy countless demons. To Kagome, it was history class all over again.

"In conclusion, being a miko is what makes us unique, with all of our powers and such...Kagome...Kag...WAKE UP!" Kagome woke up as the trainer's voice boomed into her ears, "I-i'm awake..." although Kagome was awake, she couldn't help

but droop her eyes a bit. Fumi massaged her head out of frustration, "Kagome, if you want to know how to control your powers, I suggest you become fully awake and pay attention to me!"

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Inuyasha woke up at the time Kagome began training. Today shall be his lucky day

He wore baggy blue jeans, a loose red T-shirt, and sneakers with untied shoelaces. After brushing his beautiful silver locks, he hopped into his black humer and sped to the Higurashi residence.

"Now, which way is Higurashi's house...oh yeah, left." Inuyasha was holding the wheel in one hand and a confusing map in the other. "Damn it, I'm stuck again!" He pounded on the armrest of the seat. He didn't know how to use the built-in electronic navigator so the map was his only navigational system. Even a simple street map was hard for Inuyasha to decipher.

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Fumi demonstrated the limits of her powers as she lifted nearby trees and instantly incitergrated it. The burnt wood chips scattered everywhere around the yard and landed mostly on Kagome. She flicked away all of the pieces and watched again until it was her turn.

Just as Kagome was about to try her powers, Inuyasha parked his car at the far corner of Kagome's house. He walked cautiously to the brick gate and peered above it. There she was, almost ready to show her powers. When her back was turned, Inuyasha leaped over the wall and on the branch of an aged tree. He made sure that he was well camoflauged and that he was nearly invisible. Nearly.
