Adventure

Kagome and Katsurou met Rin at the edge of Inuyasha's forest. Kagome carried her yellow backpack across her shoulders along with her bow and a quiver of arrows. Rin also carried a pack on her shoulders as well as swords at her hip. Kagome was no longer the young naïve girl who rushed into battle with no proper training or skills. Once she had settled down with Inuyasha in the village, she was able to get proper miko instruction and hone her skills. Her power was vast and immense, yet she had needed training in order to be able to use it properly. Sango also was able to train both Kagome and Rin in hand to hand combat as well as sword play.

Sango and Miroku had understood their plight, and helped Kagome gather supplies for the trip. Kagome hated to leave them behind in the village, but they had a family now. As much as Kagome was loathe to admit it, they were protecting them by leaving. Kagome hated to leave her only stable home in this era; but also she hated to leave behind her only family.

Katsurou carried a small bedroll on his back and tried his best to look menacing and serious. Kagome had explained to him why they needed to leave and what needed to be done. He understood that their lives were in danger. Rin grinned at the sight of his fierceness and patted the five year old on his head.

"Are you sad about leaving the village, Katsurou?"

He smirked in a way that made Kagome's chest clench painfully. His mannerisms were so reminiscent of Inuyasha.

"Of course not! I am ready for an adventure!" He said excitedly.
