The End Of Scrolls
~ Chapter Three ~
Training Under The Influence
By Inuyashas Youkai
Awoken deeply into the night, the disoriented hanyouess wandered around the castle she was now unknowingly placed after she blanked out proceeding the unexpected confrontation with Naraku. Slightly surprised that she found Inuyasha slumbering peacefully in the bed next to her, Kagome soon found the need to somehow exert some of her wound anxiety. Still feeling the side effects from her earlier affliction, and feeling slightly unsure with the connection she still held with the hanyou .
Kagome soon found herself in a open room with different weapons displayed on the wall , with it's name ,and significance carved underneath in a stone were five total dual edged blades that lined the walls , not including the scythe's leaning up against the corner of the room ,or the other weapons neatly postioned within the small room lit with only a green flame sitting itself on the stone pillar in the middle of the the weapons ,next to the Katana's which there were three ,one seemed to catch her eye.
The weapon was double edged with a dual blade and it's handle was in it's center with dual crimson sheath's made of bloodstone. The handle itself was simular to Tetsuseiga's with the fur around the base of each blade, before it seemed to break off into shadows of flames hugging the curves of the sharpened threat. Within it's steal etched on either side ,along the edges were the smooth lines arching in the shape of a lone flame running through the middle. On either side where the blade connects with with sheath and it's hilt on either side was a interlocking parts of a dragon's body with red eyes staring back at you.
When Kagome's hesitant fingers touched the hilt to run along it's sheath ,she felt a pulse run through her body ,and merge itself with her aura before traveling back into itself. At first when she removed her hand with a quick flinch ,both the sword and her sould seemed to call to each others presence,and wouldn't stop the pull until their contact was reinforced. Grasping ahold of the weapon,Kagome thought she would give it a try outside in the back to see what she could get it to do out of curiosity. Once outside Kagome had soon closed her eyes to relax herself ,and soon felt herself unwillingly become one with the blade,as a extension of herself. Just before taking her first swing ,Kagome felt a familar cold presence standing not far from her and one further away from herself and the one who laid oblivious ,sleeping.
Once she opened her eyes only to find Sesshomeru standing objectively with Tokijin firmly held defensively in his hands. The fang she held in her tightly clenched fingers began to radiatedly pulse throughout her being joining with the summoning beat of the fang,without notice her amber eyes rolled to the back of her head to reveil the crimson ones ,and with a subtle black aura to them. Something came over her in that sword envoked a transformation within her and although she knew of what was happening at the time ,Kagome felt she lacked control, as the fang itself seemed to have won that battle against her.
Even though with that knowledge Kagome felt she shouldn've been afraid but somehow couldn't feel that emotion as the persistant hum lightly stroking her fingers soothed her to allow it to lead her in battle, so she did. As the continued use of the blade while fighting Sesshomeru, with gracefully executed movements, the the darkened aura of her bloodied eyes appeared as black flames wrapping around sensually around them in the emerging shadows of her eyes. Soon the blade on it's own accord began to form a billowing smoke tendrils forming around her almost to conceal her quick movements almost in a blur of smoke. The growling snare's of the repeatative chanted calling to voice her command in a voice not of her own spat ferousiously into the expanse.
"Ame No Ketsueki Furēmingu !" (Flaming Rain Of Blood)
As on cue her sword ,grew with a heavy pressure building up inside her and the sword ,as a gust of wind ,carrying a violent rain of blood ,with black devouring flames wrappping itself around a beam of bright pink light emersed in silver lighthening, and tore itself against the earth in threes until it rushed upon it's target.
Sesshomeru barely missed the powerful blast following the explosion that woudn't ensnared him not neccessarily into death but still be seemed with Kagome's accidental discovery of the sword ,the sword itself found and marked her as it's chosen master,after so long of being dormant from the years of their father last use of it.
Thus...
Kuroi Ame No Ketsueki Homura Kage No Kiba ~ or Dark (black)Flaming Rain Of Blood Fang Of Shadows became Kagome's new weapon of choice.
The loud clashes of steel and crashes of attacks inflicting damge where they lay,except for their intended course, and it became known with the sword ,Kagome was closly matched with that of Sesshomeru in battle because it bore their fathers will, skill , and that of a demon distant relation sealed in its blade. The racket caused the attention of a certain hanyou mate of the swords new carrier,and called him towards where he could visually see the damage being thrown.
Before Inuyasha's presence was introduced he felt himself thrown back in awe over what he saw when his mate wielded the long silent blade. Realization came within his mind and floored him when he discovered that Kagome had unleashed its true power ,being whom she was after years spent trying to activate it . Between himself and his own brothers efforts ended with a hanyou by mating ,a otherwise human miko being the true master of a demon sword ,was shocking revelation to say the least.
" Kagome ! This Sesshomeru thinks it's enough training today , we will resume tommorro!" The stoic lord said vehemently ,knocking her over with tripping her with Tokijin ,after repeatative tries to sway and break the influencing hold that the blade currently held and finally recieved her attention
"What! Huh? You don't have to yell!" Kagome defended
"This Sesshomeru see's the sword you carry chose its new master,but you still need practice with control so it doesn't overpower you into a downward path in persistant fighting until you end up a feral rambid mess ,craving bloodshed"
"You mean this ?" Kagome asked
"Yes ,you! A hanyou unlocked it's power after centuries of failures ,trying to do what the sword had chosen you to do . Seems like father to entrust it with a human hanyou bred by her hanyou matter as long as your are trained I intend to bring its full power ,through you miko!"
Soon Sesshomeru left the two to ponder what Inuyasha's brother had left with,and the knowledge of what that meant. Inu no Taisho , Inuyasha and Sesshomeru's father somehow had to know of Kagome's existance for this to occur. The questions of how's and when's quickly flooded through the knowing parties like a tidal wave. At this point Kagome wasn't sure if this meant further proof as to her place within Inuyasha's life or only for the simple protection in the circumstance of him being lured down another path, Kikyo's, or death.
Of Course, the hanyou had believed it to be the prior, that Kagome was meant to stand forever by his side, as it was meant to be, and with her being his mate. Something told her pessemistically it was because someday Inuyasha would no longer be with her for whatever to say, those thoughts caught her within it's drowning current ,and sent her into a is, until Inuyasha stood behind her and wrapped her in his loving embrace, with his face hidden within her black tresses , and before nudging her gently..
" Kagome...Mate ? Are you alright ?" Inuyasha whispered into her ears after nibbling her ears
" Yea ,I think so ..After the practice with the sword it just kinda wore me out..Kagome feined to be only tired but Inuyasha caught it
"Your lying ..Why? I can feel it Kagome ,so why don't you tell me because whatever it is currently holding you in a slump ,and I don't like the sadness rolling off you" Inuyasha said
" It's just that I was thinking over the reason of why your father thought I should wield it?"Kagome sighed frustradedly when Inuyasha hadn't taken her bait
"And ?" Inuyasha spoke against her exposed flesh on her shoulder in between kisses
" I have this feeling I know the reason why deep in my gut ...I " Kagome started then paused not knowing if she should confront the fear to her mate
"You what?" Inuyasha whispered while tackling the slender slope of her neck with tender nips and following swipes of his tongue
"I ...was chosen as it's master to protect me when you are no longer with me as my mate..." Kagome shivered against his ministrations
"Where would I be ..if I am not with you ..I don't see me being anywhere else.."Inuyasha stated , continuing his onslaut on his mate's sweet yielding flesh
"I don't know..." Kagome breathed
" Kagome ,I will never leave you "
"Will see"
' Kagome, no matter what you think will happen ,it won't take you away from me .I will follow you ,my mate to the ends of the earth just to be with you ...Your Mine and I am Forever Yours ...Anyone else don't matter to me anymore' Inuyasha thought as he posessively ensnared her lips with his own
