Chapter 6- One Hell of a Day
As Sesshomaru walked out of the elevator he could hear his brother's growls and enraged voice. There was no doubt in his mind that Inuyasha now had the pig hanyou by his throat. Of course he also knew that there was no way that he would let his demon lose on anyone so he was not that worried. However he was force to rethink his previous thought when he found the pig hanyou on the floor with a whole going through his stomach and his brother standing over him with red eyes.
"Inuyasha!" Sesshomaru roared before he threw his brother away from the pig hanyou.
"Sesshomaru…what the hell…" Inuyasha growled as he began to get control over his self.
"You are a fool for doing what you did as for you." Sesshomaru growled as he turned to face the pig hanyou. "You are fired and you shall leave the country while you still can."
"Sesshomaru…that bastard has Kagome's blood under his claws. HER FUCKING BLOOD!" Inuyasha roared as he tried to attack the scared demon once more.
"Inuyasha…she is alright…Kagome was able to stop him." Sesshomaru stated as he shoved him into his office.
Once the door was locked, Sesshomaru turned to find his brother sitting on the floor with his eyes closed. He was glad that he was able to help his brother control his demon blood in the past but that did not mean he didn't need the Tetsusiga. Just as Inuyasha had relaxed enough to talk to his brother he opened his eyes and asked, "Did she at least hurt him?"
"I do not know what she did to that bastard but he did not harm him. You know that she is not capable of hurting anyone." Sesshomaru answered as he unlocked the door to allow his mate to walk in.
"Inuyasha…are you alright?" a worried Rin asked.
"I'm fine…thanks for bring the Tetsusiga." Inuyasha mumbled as he began to feel weak.
"Sesshomaru…I heard that there is a probability that the miko dragon shall be in Tokyo." Rin said as she turned to face her mate.
"I see…well Inuyasha it would seem you no longer have to leave. Rin can you please have Emeri cancel his flight while we talk." Sesshomaru replied.
"Of course…but you two better not be late for dinner again." Rin hissed before she left.
"You saw her…how is she…is she healthy? Is she the same?" Inuyasha asked.
"She is fine and she is still the same. However I cannot say the same thing for the boy you told me about." Sesshomaru answered as he sat down at Inuyasha's desk.
"Sota…what's wrong with Sota…was he attacked?" Inuyasha asked.
"No, he is fine and healthy…however he is full of bitterness." Sesshomaru answered as he locked eye contact with his brother. When Inuyasha said nothing he added, "He also told me to tell you not to hurt or come near his sister again."
"I see…he is really mad at me." Inuyasha said as he stood up with the Tetsusiga in hands.
"Inuyasha…you must not let his words get to you. You are the only one that her soul and be whole with. I have explained this to you already." Sesshomaru growled once he picked up on his brothers depression.
"I know…but when can I see her? I want to see her, hold her…I want her to be mine." Inuyasha growled as he stood up.
"Inuyasha…if you truly wish to see her than you shall be allowed to go to her house come Christmas eve." Sesshomaru answered.
"Sesshomaru…I'm going to go to the clinic…I want to see her." Inuyasha growled as he began to stand up only to be pinned to the wall by his brother.
"Inuyasha…you must wait. I know that you want her but she is not ready for you to reappear in her life again. Your miko was barely told that you are alive and that you never went to hell with Kikiyo." Sesshomaru stated as he held his brother. "When your son told her that you were alive she passed out and was possessed by the jewel."
"What? I thought that the jewel was purified." Inuyasha growled as he waited for his brother to put him down.
"It's not…she was able to set Midoriku's soul free but the power of the demons and that of Midoriku still lies within it." Sesshomaru answered as he set his younger brother on the floor.
"So how do we get rid of the jewel? I want nothing to do with the damn thing and I don't want my mate protection that thing anymore." Inuyasha growled.
"I have no idea…but if you don't want her to continue protecting it than you have to find the next dragon miko." Sesshomaru answered.
"Fine…who ever this wench is, I will fine her." Inuyasha growled.
She parked her car and knew that she was at the right place. She had called the woman and asked to speak with her about the art of miko training. As she got out of the car she couldn't help but feel as if she had just found an old friend. Kagome reached under her shirt and pulled it out. After giving it one final squeeze, Kagome over to the front door and knocked.
"How is it?" a woman's voice was heard.
"Um…I spoke with you on the phone. My name is Higurashi, Kagome."
"Oh, I'm sorry about that…please come in. My lady has been expecting you." The same voice from before was heard as the door was being unlocked.
Once the door was opened Kagome came face to face with a very beautiful woman. What had shocked her most was the fact that this woman looked a lot like her old friend Sango. Once she had gotten a hold of herself Kagome stepped inside the house and followed the woman to the back of the house. Once they reached the woman the girl said, "My lady is inside…she has already prepared your training schedule."
"Thank you." Kagome said before she walked into the room she had been shown to. What she wasn't expecting was for her to be taken to an indoor dojo. Once inside Kagome walked over to the woman she was there to meet. Kinata, Vetis; once she was close enough to the elder miko, Kagome bowed and said, "I'm sorry for insisting to see you today."
"I am sure that it must be very important. Now why have you come to me, Higurashi, Kagome." Vetis replied.
"I have come because I am the guardian of the shikon jewel and I need to control all of my miko powers." Kagome answered. "I need both physical and mental strength." She added.
Vetis quickly turned around and took in a sharp intake of breath. This girl was not telling her a lie. Around her neck was the shikon jewel. Vetis turned to face the jewel and was surprised; this girl was the girl in her great, great, great, great, grandmothers painting. Before Kagome could pick on her surprise Vetis closed her eyes and said, "I will train you. Is there any other arrangements that you have to attend other then these training sessions."
"Uh…well currently I am on vacation from my round at a demon clinic. I'm a medical student but right now I need to tend to my responsibility as the jewel guardian." Kagome answered.
"I see…are you on call in should they need you?" Vetis asked as she reached for one of her bow's and a quiver of arrows.
"Yes, I am to help Dr. Yume deliver Takahashi, Emeri's children." Kagome answered as she quickly took the bow that was offered to her.
"Very well then, I only ask that you call me once they have called you in." Vetis stated.
"Ok…but umm…what am I going to do with this?" Kagome asked as she held out the bow and arrows.
"You are about to show me how much you know." Vetis answered. "Now aim and control your energy. I want you to start off with none to all of the energy you are able to put into your arrows." She stated.
"As you wish…my lady." Kagome said as she reached for an arrow.
"You do not have to call me lady. If anything you are the one that should be addressed as such. Now, just call me Vetis."
"I understand, however I will call you my sensei." Kagome stated as she let go of her arrow.
Just as Vetis had requested, Kagome's first arrow held no miko energy what so ever. One by one, Kagome used up all of her arrows. She had no idea that she would have to work so hard to control the amount of energy to the point where she was amazed. 'I had no idea I could do this.' She thought as she set the bow down. Once she was sure that she was alright, Kagome turned to Vetis and was shocked at what she saw. Vetis was amazed and was smiling.
"Well, I can tell that there isn't much that I have to teach you in with your miko powers. Now let's see how strong you are physically." Vetis said.
"Uh…I really don't know how to fight that well." Kagome said.
"Just go with what you know." Vetis stated as she stood up.
"Ok." Kagome replied as she stood in the same fighting stance that Sango had used when she got ready for a fight.
'How does she know our family's fighting technique? Who is this girl?' Vetis thought as she took the same fighting stance. Once this one was one that was a combination of her great, great, great, great, grandmothers, and her great, great, great, great, grandfathers fighting technique. Once she was sure that Kagome would wait for her to start the fight, Vetis made her move.
'How can I do this…why can I see and copy his movements?' Kagome thought as she began to see images of Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku fighting. She could see each movement and how they avoided each attack and was able to copy it. As she continued to watch and copy each of her past friends movements Kagome could feel herself losing energy.
"Well…it seems that you can fight. Tell me, why did you tell me that you could not fight. It seems that you know enough to protect yourself from me…a master." Vetis asked.
"I…I don't know…I didn't know I could do this." Kagome replied as she easily blocked the attack and punched Vetis.
Vetis fell to the floor with a bloody lip and looked up to see a very surprised and shocked girl. 'Why is she so surprised? Why is she so shocked? Who is this girl?' she thought as she quickly healed her bloody lip as she stood up. Kagome watched in amazement as Vetis was able to heal her wound without touching it.
"I had no idea we could do that…to be able to heal a wound without touching it." Kagome whispered as she fell to her knees.
"Kagome…Kagome what's wrong?" she heard her best friends voice.
"Sango…Sango…I'm just so tired…please don't…I never wanted to leave you all." Kagome cried as she passed out.
Without even realizing it Vetis just watched as Kagome fell to the floor and slammed her head on the hard dojo floor. 'How…how does she know her name…how does she know the name of the mother of our clan…my great, great, great, great grandmother.' Vetis thought as she just stared at the sleeping girl.
After the shock of it all wore off, Vetis quickly healed Kagome's wounds and had her younger sister come and help her take Kagome to one of the guest rooms. Unlike her, her younger sister didn't have any miko powers. Her sister was in charge of the demon slayer part of the family. Once Kagome had been put in bed, Vetis turned to her sister and said, "Verin…call her family…I have to make a phone call." as she walked out of the bed room in which Kagome was put in.
A/N: Well who do you think she is going to call? You'll just have to read the next fic. Oh and for those of you who are wondering, Vetis and Verin are demon names. Verin known as the demon of impatience and Vetis is known as the demon of corruption. I will be using more of these name so for those of you that would like a copy of this list here is the web site.
