Chapter 4: Training
Inuyasha paced the priestess's hut. 'Damn that woman is planning something I know it.' The two priestess and Shippo left about an hour ago to go do something. They locked him in the hut so he wouldn't come and peek at what they were doing.
"They must be getting ready for that training thing." He stopped and crossed his arm over his chest. He growled before he started pacing again. Kirara followed his movements with her head quietly. She stood up and brushed against Inuyasha's leg.
"Mew!"
"Kirara." Inuyasha bend down a picked her up. "I'm still wondering on how I have spiritual powers. Do you think after I learn all they have to teach me that we maybe can find away to get my demonic powers back? I mean I haven't turned completely human right?" he sighed. "Shippo will need someone to protect him."
"Mew!"
"I wonder how the others are doing. Did they survive those seven hooded people?"
"My aren't we full of questions." Keiko stood in the door way. Inuyasha stopped pacing to look at her. "What were you doing trying to wear a hole in my floor?" The others pulled up behind her. "If you have questions feel free to ask me. I will try to answer them to the best of my abilities."
"Alright then." Inuyasha sat on the floor and placed Kirara down. Shippo jumped into his lap. "Why is it I have spiritual powers?"
"Before I answer your question answer truthfully to mine," Keiko sat across from him. He nodded. "Tell me about your mother. Down to the clothing she wore." Miyuki started to boil some water for tea.
"Um, she was a lord's daughter. She wore clothes like yours under silk robes. Other than that I don't remember."
"I see. Only priestesses wear these types of robes. I have to say the reason you may have spiritual powers have to lye with your mother."
"My mother?"
"Yes, and we shall begin training today with simple techniques. I assume you are familiar with many of the things priestess can do correct?"
"Yea."
"Well today I'm going to be teaching you how to form your spiritual energy into a ball. Now let us go out side while my daughter fixes dinner." She stood up and walked out the door. Inuyasha grumbled before he got up and followed her.

"Now concentrate your energies into your hands. Your hands should start to feel warm. You know your ready when your hands start to glow." Keiko leaned on her bow. Inuyasha raised his eyebrow in confusion, but he did as he was told. It was long before his hands were glowing in a soft pastel color.
"Now what?"
"Now slowly push that energy outside of your palms and hold it there." She nodded in approval. 'He sure is learning pretty fast. I bet in no time he'll be somewhat good.' She watched as Inuyasha formed the energy outside of his hands. He was breathing deeply and sweat was heavy on his face. She was about to give more instructions when Inuyasha lost the energy in his hands.
"Wow. That was hard."
"We will try that again until you can hold that energy for more than a few seconds. I will give you some leeway since this is the first time ever for you to be using human spiritual powers. Your body needs time to adjust. After all you spent most of your life using demonic powers and spiritual powers, even though you were born with it, is foreign to your body. We will continue spiritual exercises everyday to get your body use to having it and using it."
"Alright."
"Now try it again." She barked. Inuyasha did as he was told.

A couple of days passed since his arrival with the Priestess. His eye healed remarkably fast thanks to the little amount of demon blood he had left. The bandage was removed. His eye was a dull blue color almost white. It was obvious that Inuyasha could no longer see out of his left eye.
Shippo happily played and learned how to cook a few meals from Miyuki. Kirara helped Keiko train Inuyasha. Training came naturally for Inuyasha even though it was still a little hard to call upon his human spiritual powers. Still Inuyasha wondered what was happening to the humans he used to call friends and was he really in a dimension that he dose not exist. Either way he was going to make the best of it not only for himself but also for Shippo.
His heart ached when anything said that was related to his former friends. He wondered why he just doesn't lay down and die. No he will live for Shippo. He will not abandon Shippo to fend for himself. Not like he had to as a child. Shippo was like a son to him or as an outsider might see a little brother. They did get into arguments and pull pranks on each other like brothers sometimes do. That got him to thinking about his real brother or half-older brother, Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru always looked down upon him. Always saying he was worthless and unworthy of father's noble blood. Now that he thinks about it maybe Sesshomaru cared about him a little. He would never finish him off only leave him half dead. He would come to his aid when he needed it and he would give him advice.
Sesshomaru in his own sadistic way raised him. He forced him to learn how to fend for himself, to be wary of others, to fight, to be proud of the blood that runs threw his veins, and some how he always knew where to find him.
Inuyasha began to wonder about his father. Would his father be proud of all of the things that he accomplished? What would his voice sound like? What would his smile or his praise be? Alas his father was dead and there was nothing he could do about it. The only place he would ever be able to see his father is in his own death.
"Inuyasha!" Keiko's voice sounded across the clearing. "Dinner is ready!"
"Be there in a minute!" Inuyasha yelled back. HE slowly picked himself up and walked to the hut. One last thought filtered through his head as he walked in the doorway. 'Would I ever see Sesshomaru again?'

"I'M NOT CRAZY!" Kagome pounded her fists onto the table. "Mother you half to believe me! There are demons and I do have powers!" Two Guards pulled her down to a sitting position. "You see demons yourself! Remember Inuyasha!"
"I'm sorry Kagome your just to dangerous to yourself and others. You killed several people claiming they were demons." Ms. Higurashi shook her head.
"I didn't kill people! I killed demons!"
"I'm sorry Kagome but this place is best for you…"
"NO Mother!" Kagome stood up trying to struggle away from the guards. "I'm not crazy!"
"I'm sorry Kagome, I love you but you'll have to stay here. Good bye Dear." Ms. Higurashi gave her daughter a look of pity before she left. Kagome was thrown into her room.
"I'm not crazy I'm not." She cried.

"Please stop. I didn't mean to. Kohaku, I'm so sorry. It's my fault your dead." Sango cried as the people from the former exterminating village mocked her. They threw rocks and called her worse than a demon. She saw her beloved Miroku getting slain by her hands.
"All your fault."
"All your fault!"
"All your fault!"
"NOOOO!" she cried as she curled up into a fetal position. "Miroku my love, I'm coming to join you." She grabbed her sword and slit her throat.

Everywhere he walked he kept seeing Sango and Kagome being killed. The blamed him for their deaths. His mind kept saying horrible things to him. He saw Inuyasha standing in a clearing. He was smiling. HE was holding out the Tetsusaiga. On the ground below Inuyasha's feet lay Kagome and his beloved Sango.
In reality he walked upon an old battlefield where dead corpses lay. A sword was lodged into a trunk of a tree. He grabbed the sword. Miroku used it to take his own life. All the while he whispered, "I'm coming Sango, father, and grandfather."
A/N: Kinda creepy in the end huh? Well that is what happens to Sango and Miroku. Kagome on the other hand will remain in the mental home for the rest of her days. She will be unable to take her own life. She will have to suffer.
Inuyasha and Shippo have sorta found for themselves and their learning new things. Sesshomaru and Inutashio won't be introduced for a while yet (a couple of chapters or so) So hang tight. Here's a question…
Do you guy/gals won't me to bring sight back to Inuyasha's left eye or leave him blind there?
