A/n: super short tidbit...
"Kaede-baachan and Miroku-sama say I have lots of miko ki. I just need to learn to move it around. Then I can move it into things that not arrows and even if I am not in danger. They tell me first to focus and find ki inside me."
"Yes, well, you may need to focus better if every time you meditate, you come see me."
The girl gave off a whine and plopped down in our imaginary space. It was more convenient to speak to her in this manner but a bit detrimental to Kagome's safety. "The monk's hand is coming dangerously close. Again."
Heeding my warning, Kagome snapped back to reality and connected her hand to her perverted friend's cheek. After a brief argument, she resumed her meditative pose and slipped back to me to continue her complaints. Now that she could nearly freely slip into my consciousness, I had learned to keep my less savory thoughts behind thick walls.
"It's too difficult!"
"Nobody ever achieved anything by giving up." I leaned down in front of her as if comforting a child. "Now, you're not doing this for me, you're doing this for yourself. This will make you stronger, no? Strong enough to one day defeat your greatest adversary. I just happen to also benefit from your progress. Kagome's power is both our goals, so I will help you. By the way, Inuyasha is stomping over with an unattractive look on his face." When her mind visited me, it failed to register the material world, so I had to do it for her. Hopefully, once she learns to harness her ki better, she will relieve me of this task. So troublesome.
