Chapter 15: Training Begins.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha!

The next morning Kagome listed her house as fully furnished. She sighed, she was going to miss living here, but she knew she didn't have a choice. Before she could think about the house more-there was a knock on her door.

"You ready for school?" Sango asked as Kagome answered the door.

"You bet!" Kagome said as she led her kids to Sango's car.

"My Sango!" Hiro said holding his arms up for Sango to pick him up. Sango smiled as she picked him up she tossed him in the air before catching him again making Hiro laugh.

As they were going to drop the kids off with Iziyoi Sango broke the silence. "Don't forget we are going shopping for our dresses for the dance after school."

Kagome laughed. "Sango, how am I going to forget when you are me ride?"

"Oh, yeah, kinda forgot about that detail." Sango laughed along with Kagome.

The girls pulled up in front of Inuyasha's house, each of them grabbing a kid and running up the steps. Sango, again, didn't knock and just walked right in. We walked in the living room and saw that it was filled with toys and other things that would make any kid happy. Kagome's kids squealed with excitement as they ran to go play with the toys.

"Whoa." Kagome said shocked.

Iziyoi walked into the room. "Did I get too much?"

"Mrs. Taka-"

"No, no. None of that! Call me Iziyoi." Iziyoi said cutting Kagome off.

"I-Iziyoi y-you didn't have to get this much!" Kagome stammered out but Iziyoi just waved her off dismissively.

"Save your breath, Kagome." Inuyasha said while he and Miroku coming down the stairs. "She overdoes things like this all the time. No stopping her once she starts shopping." He said kissing his mother on the cheek.

With that said the girls got back into Sango's car while the boys got into Inuyasha's car and they were on their way to school.

The school day went by pretty fast. In first period they had a test that Kagome was about eighty-five percent she passed. Second the class got to watch a movie. Third some book work. Lunch went by without anything to note. Choir the teacher dropped a bomb shell on us saying that we will be preforming our songs in front of the entire school for a test grade! In a month! She told us that we needed to add music and make a music video. I was not excited about this assignment! Fifth period another test and finally gym. The last class of the day.

Kagome dressed in her gym clothes and was stretching trying to loosen up her tense muscles. Ever since she heard that she had to preform in front of the whole school had her tensed up like no other.

"Kagome!" The coach hollered making Kagome jump and look up. She saw an old woman standing beside the coach, Kagome ran over. "This is Lady Kaede. I've asked her to come to train you above my abilities.

Kagome bowed respectively. "Um, coach, wouldn't it have been easier to just let me train with the other mikos?"

"They have known they had power ever since they were little. You never knew so you must start at the bottom and work your way up to what they are." The coach explained.

Kagome bowed respectively again. "I am honored that you have come to train me."

"As I am honored to train you." Kaede said slightly nodding her head and smiled. Kagome instantly saw her as a loving grandmother. "First ye must find the light inside of you. Only then will you be able to harness and control it. But be warned if ye use to much of your power without being fully train, ye will pay with your life. Are you ready to begin, child?"

Kagome gave a determined nod. "Let's begin." Kagome said giving another bow.

Kaede gracefully sat down crossing her legs and Kagome did the same. "Lay ye hands like this, palm facing up. Now close your eyes and block out every sound except for my voice."

Kagome focused on blocking out the clashing of swords, the swishing of flying objects, the grunts, the shouts-everything until it was silent except for the one voice.

"Now search within ye self and find your glow." Kaede instructed.

All Kagome could see at first is blackness. She pushed harder-she felt the sweat dripping from her forehead. She finally saw the small light. The light was a light bright pink color that was almost blinding to look at.

"Make that small light grow!" Kaede said like she knew just by looking at Kagome that she had found the light. "Let it spread throughout your body."

Kagome focused on the light-pushing it till it got about five inches bigger before snapping like a rubber band back into it's original size.

A gust of wind left Kagome's lungs bringing her back into reality. She heard the swords clanging, the swishing of the objects flying, the grunts and shouts. She opened her eyes she felt gross she was sweaty, gasping for breath and exhausted.

"Why do I feel like I've just ran a marathon? Kagome asked.

Kaede smiled. "Honing in on your powers is very hard work. It's very tiring for anyone starting out.

Kagome nodded right as the bell rang. She thanked Kaede and left to go take a much needed shower.

*Break*

Kagome, Sango, Ayame and Rin were all at the mall looking for the perfect dress to go the dance. No one had a date for the dance except for Rin who was taking Sesshomaru. So the remaining three was just going to go together.

The dress store was huge so they decided to split up and pick out a few dresses then meet up and do a little fashion show.

Kagome had found one dress she wanted to try on and was in the middle of looking for her second one when..

"Well, well, well look girls the little whore is here"

Kagome flinched and turned around. "What do you and your robots want, Kikyo?"

"Oh, nothing much. Just a friendly reminder to leave Inuyasha alone!" Kikyo said looking at her nails.

Kagome got in her face. "Or what?"

"Stay away from Inuyasha and you won't get hurt."

Kagome didn't know where this boost of bravery came from but she didn't question it. "You know, Kikyo. That will be kinda hard since I'm living in the same house as him."

Kikyo shoved Kagome then snapped her fingers. All three of them ganged up on Kagome. Kagome was able to get a couple hits in, enough to bust Kikyo's lip and give one of her goons a bloody nose but Kagome never stood a chance with all three of them ganging up on her and soon she was on the ground protecting her face from the kicks.

By the time Kagome's friends heard the fight and ran over Kagome was already on the floor. They immediately jumped in pulling Kikyo and her two goons off of Kagome.

It took Kagome a couple seconds to realize the kicks had stopped and another minute to calm her race heart down. She looked up and saw Sango fighting Kikyo. Ayame and Rin each had a goon they were fighting. The fight lasted a couple seconds longer before Kikyo and her robots ran away.

Sango helped Kagome off the floor. "Are you okay, Kagome?"

"Just a couple bruises and a little blood. Nothing I can't handle. I'm going to the bathroom to clean up a little and then we can finish shopping."

After two hours the girls each found the perfect dress, shoes and accessories. They had lunch at the food court then were on their was home.

Please review. Until next time, bye!
