Hidden Innocence

Chapter two:Kagome's Mission

Since the day Kagome found out the truth about her parents, the only thin that was on her mind was vengance. She was determined to train and train until she was the best. She was also determined to get Naraku to train her. Kouga and Ayame were helping her imensly but to be the best she needed to learn from the best, and that person is Naraku.

For two years now Kagome has been training with Kouga and Ayame. She had sheer determination, and that determination made her strong. She had mastered all the moves and skills that Kouga and Ayame taught her, but she still wasn't satisfied. And so she confronted Naraku one last time; confident that he would agree to train her. She went into Naraku's room, not even waiting for her gramps to call her in.

Kagome has become very mature for a ten year old and acts as if she carries the whole weight of the world on her shoulders. Now when she talks to anyone, there is no innocence, no vulnerablitiy just a serious and cynical person.

Naraku was busy on the phone when Kagome barged into the room. He glanced up and noticed her standing infront of his desk with an irritated expression on her face. Naraku finished on the phone and turned his full attention on his grand-daughter.

"So my dear Kagome, how may I help you ?" asked Naraku with a smirk on his face.

"Well gramps you can help me by training me," she said canfidence laced in her voice.

"Now Kagome how many times have you asked me? And how many times have I said no?" he asked, no trace of the smirk that was on his face not two seconds ago.

"Well today is different, you owe it to me, so please just teach me. Gramps please."

"Kagome how is it that I owe you? And there is no difference."

"You just do!" she yelled out of frustration.

"No means no, Kagome!"

"Thats not fair! You never let me do anything!"

"I know you think I'm unfair but it's for the best. I let your father into this life and look what happened to him. I won't put you in any danger, it would kill me if something were to happen to you," he said with concern in his voice.

"Hmph, gramps I talked to aunt Kotori and grampa and I know about dad. He was only 6 years old when you took him in. You trained him and now when I'm asking you to train me you say no, it's just not fair."

"Kagome..." said Naraku in a quiet voice "Why do you want to train with me? Why do you want to live this life?"

"I want you to train me because...I need to be strong when...when I go after Bankotsu."

Naraku was shocked when he heard the reason behind Kagome's urgence to learn how to fight. "Kagome you are just a little girl. You shouldn't worry about these things. I have my best people on the case."

"Gramps that little girl died two years ago, in this very room. I need to learn. That person stole my parents from me. I lost my childhood because of him and I need to get even for myself and my parents. You should understand. Besides I do know a lot on my own, I just want you to teach me everything else that I need to know."

"Very well then, Kagome I will teach you," he said as he got up from his seat and walked over to Kagome. "So tell me where did you learn how to fight."

"Well two years ago I met two kids who where fighting and then we became friends. They taught me everything I know."

"Names please."

"Kouga Ookami, and Ayame Ookami, both their father's work with you."

"Oh yes Ayato and Kitaru they are two of the best, well it looks like you have been learning from some of the bests."

"I guess I have, so when can we start training?" she asked.

"Tomorrow morning. We will meet here at 7 am, make sure you're here on time okay."

"Okay gramps, " she said as she took him into a hug "Thank you so much and don't worry I won't disappoint you I promise."

"I'm sure you won't sweetheart, just don't be late," he said as he walked out of the room with her.

Every day Kagome would meet Naraku in his office. They would train together; Kagome getting stronger with each passing day. Naraku was very impressed by how good Kagome was, it took Kira twice as long to master half of the moves. Years went by and Kagome slowly became Naraku's best, but the difference between Kagome and Kira was that Kira was taken into this life and knew it was his passion. While Kagome, through certain circumstances became accustomed to the life.

By fifteen years old Kagome surpassed her father's skill. She was the best and soon followed in her father's footsteps (meaning being an assasin). By 16, she had her first victim. He was a 20 year old boy, and he worked for Bankotsu. She was more than ready to take him on.

When Kagome went on her first job she didn't know that she was being watched. Naraku was keeping an eye out for her and observing how she moved. He noted how she did and thought that she showed great expertise. She showed brilliant stealth and moved elegantly. She put a clean cut on the guy and ended his life before he could process what was happening to him.

Kagome felt exhilerated after the kill. She felt something she never felt before. When she got back home she was so excited.

"Gramps that was so exhilerating! I was so pumped during it all," she said with so much excitment.

Naraku smiled at her. He was proud of her. "Kagome you did great. I'm so proud of you." ' She has done better than Kira and on her first try too. I'm really impressed.' he thought.

"Thanks gramps, Okay I'm gonna go shower and maybe go out later okay. bye" said Kagome as she left the room.

Once she left the room Naraku was left in the room all by himself. He had a smile on his face and thought how good Kagome would become with the years to come.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once Kagome took her shower she called up her friends Kouga and Ayame. They are the only people outside of her family that she trusted. They were her best friends.

"Hey Ayame, it's me Kagome."

"Hey, whats up? Oh how did it go? Are you okay?"

"Woah calm down. It went well and I'm okay, better than okay I'm great."

"Congrats girl! I knew you were gonna do great, after all we did help you get started."

"Yeah yeah I know you two helped me out and I'm thankful for it but you both know that I could beat both of you with both my eyes closed."

"Yeah I'm so sure Kagome," said Ayame

"Anyways, well where's Kouga?" asked Kagome

"He's around here some where, well what to you say we go out and celebrate?"

"Sounds like a plan. Get Kouga to pick me up once you two are ready okay? Bye see ya soon."

Half an hour later Kouga and Ayame arrived at Kagome's house. They picked her up and went to celebrate. Kagome and Ayame didn't have much that they could do because they were only 16, but haveing Kouga around paid off, because he was 19, he is old enough to get his hands on liquor. So first they went to a high class restaurant. Kouga paid for for all of them. Both girls were shocked, Kouga was being nice. They had a nice dinner, then went to a liquor store. Kouga went inside and bought a six pack of beer and a few bottles of cooler. Kagome and Ayame paid for it, feeling bad for not paying for the dinner.

Once Kouga got into the car, they drove to a park near by. The two girls both grabbed a bottle of cooler and ran to the swings. Kouga took his time and walked over to the girls. He plopped himself on the ground and opened up a beer. He took a sip and fell back on his back. The two girls looked at him and just ignored him. The two girls then started swinging.

"Who would have though that we would become assassins," said Kouga.

"Yeah I know, remember the day we all first met? Just innocent little kids. Now we have no innocence, just cold hearted assassins," said Ayame.

"Hey we aren't cold hearted," said Kagome as she pushed Ayame playfully. "And the only reason I became an assassin is for my parents."

"Oh yeah you were telling us about that," said Ayame.

"So have you tracked down that Bankotsu person yet?" asked Kouga.

"No not yet, but I'm working on that. You know my gramps, he isn't letting me in on what he's doing for the whole case so I have to do it all on my own."

"Well your not alone here Kags," said Ayame.

"Yeah you have us, and we are some of the best up and commers in Tokyo," said Kouga "You know we got your back Kags. "

"Yeah, I know that, you guys are like my family," said Kagome as she jumped off the swing and landed beside Kouga. As she jumped she pulled down Ayame with her causing her to squeal. Kagome had finished her bottle of cooler and was a little "tipsy." She pulled Kouga's arm under her head . She rested her head on his arm. Kagome was content with where she was. Her friends were who kept her going for all these years. She didn't know what she would do without them.

"Hey guys," said Kagome.

"Yeah," said the other two as they turned towards Kagome.

"Thanks," said Kagome.

"For what?" asked Kouga

"For everything, for being there for me all these year, for keeping me sane, just for being my friends," she said " I love you guys."

"Oh Kags, you know we love you too," said Ayame as she turned to her side and hugged her best friend.

By now Kouga drank a lot of beer and also became very "tipsy." Then out of no where he spoke. "Here's to the best friend ever, Kagome and to the mission of taking down Bankotsu."

"I'll drink to that, " said both girls. Then they took a drink. Ayame took a sip from her bottle. Kouga took a sip from his can, but Kagome had no drink because she finished hers already so she grabbed Kouga's can. Kouga made a face at her, while Kagome just smiled at him and chugged it down. The three friends lay there having fun and living in the moment. Not knowing what the future has instore for them.
