Disclaimer: Don't own anything Inuyasha related except this story
"Alright class I want you to really look deep within yourselves when meditating for this next hour." Said the head monk. Kagome was currently in her Spiritual Cleansing class because as a hopeful priestess she would need to be able to cleanse her soul of any impurities, and since she does not have access to her powers yet. Kagome takes meditation five times a week. Sigh, all right lets see today if I have any good ideas for the writing contest, thought Kagome. She shut her eyes took a deep breath and began to look inside of herself for an idea. As she meditated many ideas came to her for the writing contest. Should I do poetry, a short story, or a script? There are so many ideas; maybe I should as Koga what he entered last year so that I could get an idea on what the judges might look for.
"Alright Kagome let's hope today is the day you dig deep enough and finally channel those Miko powers eh?" Her teacher asked hopefully. Kagome just shrugged her shoulder with her eyes closed, enjoying the fact she basically gets to sleep for an hour everyday. Don't get her wrong though, Kagome more than anyone wants to get her powers but she knows when they will come and today is not the day.
"Excuse me sir? Kagome is needed in the office." Said a student aid. The monk nodded for Kagome to get up and leave, and as she got up she felt a tingle in her nose as if she was going to sneeze, but it quickly went away as she walked towards the door. Hmm that's strange wonder what that was,she thought to herself.
Meanwhile in skills training Sango and Koga were really duking it out as sparring partners.
"Alright now Sango, as Koga moves to his right watch his feet and how he steps, then calculate your next move." The teacher yelled. Sango quickly watched the wolf-demons feet hoping to catch a glitch in his footwork. Koga on the other hand noticed that when Sango went to guard she left her left hip wide open for an attack and he knew that would be her downfall.
"Hey demon slayer, how about you watch your left hip when you block?" Yelled a voice from the crowd. Sango nodded and adjusted her position.
Damn it, why would they have to go and yell that at her like this? Koga thought angrily to himself as he looked for his next mode of attack. As he circled her and threw in some fake jabs, Koga saw that when she steps to her left she takes a half a step more than on the right. Sango on the other hand noticed that when Koga goes to strike there is a half-second gap where he leaves his right side unguarded. As the two went to go in for the 'killing' strike the both realized where the other was going and quickly tried to defend themselves, causing both to miss the target and swipe at nothing but air.
"STOP, stop this drill it's terrible, you both are terrible, and it gives shame to both of your families." The teacher yelled. All eyes darted toward the voice, and all eyes stared at the elegant man as he glided/walked towards the front of the class.
"I mean seriously Sango, you are a nationally acclaimed demon slayer and you can not even manage a serious hit on this pathetic excuse for a wolf demon?" He sneered getting up in the poor girls face, " And you wolf demon, you are a terrible excuse for a fighter, I mean how did your inner demon let that drag on for so long?" Both of the students looked down in shame as the teacher shook his head.
"If I may sir?" Sango asked him, and he shook his head for her to continue. "I thought that today's lesson was about finding your enemies weakness, and I thought that's what we both accomplished when we went in to go for the final strike?" The teacher sneered at her attempt to argue, and laughed at her.
" Sesshomaru, if I may inte-" Koga tried to say, but was interrupted by a whip cracking by his face. The wolf demon jumped back quickly and started to growl deep in his throat ready to fight. Sesshomaru laughed at him and ran at him, and had his whip at the ready. Koga jumped up in order to avoid Sesshomaru's whip. Sango's face went pink and she quickly stepped off to the side of the sparring court.
"Next time, I promise that I will take an eye out." Sesshomaru barked at Koga, and the class went quiet with anticipation on what the wolf demon would do. Koga just sneered at his teacher and went into the men's locker room.
"Next time you interrupt me when I try and correct you, I can promise that your scholarship will be gone." Sesshomaru said to Sango. She nodded and ran out of the room seething at the thought of losing what was important to her.
"What the hell?!" She screamed in the locker room at the mirror, " What gives him the right to try and threaten to take my full ride away from me? Its not my fault that I was right, I mean it WAS about finding the weakness." As Sango was ranting and raving about her teacher she did not notice that Kagome was in the bathroom stall crying her eyes out.
A/N: Wow yeah I suck I know but here is to trying more to keep this going, I forget how writing can help ease my stress of stupid college. Hopefully my pain is your gain ha.
