Chapter 9: Training

Taka had been living with Naraku for a few days now. She had begun to grow bored with nothing to do. She walked down the halls of the castle towards her room. Naraku had furnished a room for her that fit her liking completely. He had also got Kagura to get her some new kimonos because he said that he had noticed she was wearing the same one for a long time. She flopped down onto her bed and yawned.

"Taka?" she heard Kanna's whisper and sat up with a start.

"Hai, Kanna?"

"Naraku wishes to see you," Kanna turned to leave.

Taka got up and followed her. They walked down the halls to the room where Naraku was at the moment.

"You wish to see me Naraku?" asked Taka as she walked in.

"Hai Taka. I realized you've been bored lately, how about you train with Kohaku for awhile?" said Naraku as he looked at her.

"Kohaku!" laughed Taka, "He's just a kid not to mention he's ningen."

"He may be so but he was a demon slayer before we found him."

Taka shrugged, "Fine."

Her and Kohaku went out into the courtyard.

"Ok kid, show me what you got," said Taka as she took out her sword.

Kohaku smirked and ran at her with his weapon (don't know what its called). Taka jumped out of the way and he turned and through it at her she moved her head so it missed.

"Tough guy huh?" she grinned, "All right I won't go easy on you."

She ran at him and swung her sword. He moved and threw at her again. But this time she was ready and she held out her sword so the weapon got caught onto it and swung Kohaku over her shoulder. Kohaku flipped and landed on his feet. He stopped for some reason.

"Dance of Blades!" (I think thats what Kagura says but i don't really listen to her XD )

Taka dodged the attack. She turned to Kagura who was smirking.

"Very funny Kagura," laughed Taka (they had become friends but most of the time Kagura was gone).

Kagura laughed.

"You just knew what was coming didn't you Taka?"

Taka nodded in agreement. Kagura looked at her sword.

"So I see you haven't learned how to use your kage power yet."

Taka looked at her confused. Kagura sighed.

"It's the power kage youkai's use to make their weapons stronger and it also reflects a black aura from the weapon."

"How do you use it?"

"You concentrate on your sword and nothing else and then your power will release itself into your blade and then you attack."

Taka closed her eyes and thought about her power inside her blade. After a few moments she opened her eyes and sure enough her sword had the aura.

"You will also be able to do this with many other weapons," Taka jumped when she heard Naraku from behind her.

Kagura snickered when she jumped.

"Never catch yourself off guard Taka... that is a disadvantage. If I wanted to I could've killed you," he said when she turned to face him.

"Hai, Naraku," said Taka.

With that Naraku turned and walked off. Taka turned and faced Kagura. She had a sly look on her face.

"Taka?" asked Kagura feeling a bit uneasy.

"You know Kagura... I really don't like it when I'm laughed at for a mistake," said Taka as she walked towards Kagura who backed up a little, "So I'm going to teach you a lesson," she had a hand behind her back and in that hand was a little black marble.

Kagura looked at her with a confused look on her face. Then Taka took the orb and threw it at Kagura. It exploded in front of her and smoke surrounded her.

"Taka?" asked Kagura as she looked around her cautiously, "Taka this isn't funny."

"Ha!" Taka jumped at Kagura and held her sheath to Kagura's throat. Kagura gasped.

"Now Kagura, what do you say to Taka?" asked Taka in a childish way.

"Gomen!" growled Kagura.

"That's better," she released Kagura and bolted off laughing her head off while she ran.

Kagura took off after her.

"Taka!" she exclaimed, "You're going to pay for that!"

"Not if you can't catch me!" said Taka as she pulled out another marble and shot it to the ground.

Once again smoke filled the area and Taka kept running. Kagura ran out of the smoke.

"Dance of the Dragons!" she exclaimed as she waved her fan.

The whirlwinds came out and went in Taka's direction. Taka stood there.

"Oh, shit," she cursed.

The whirlwinds hit her throwing her against a tree. Kagura folded her fan and smirked. Taka stood and dusted off.

"Come on... let's go in," said Kagura as she walked back to the castle.

Taka sighed and followed.
