As the feud continued, Kiyko sensed that Lelouch had awakened, Lelouch still trying to pretend to be in slumber.
"Lelouch, what do you think of all this?" Kikyo asked the pretending Emperor, Lelouch looking up at her with one eye opened, a smile crossing his face.
"Hmm, I think this pointless bickering of tales that occurred in the past are irrelevant at this time," Lelouch answered, InuYasha snickering in response. "InuYasha, your focus should be on eliminating Naraku, not for what transpired in the past, but for what he could possibly achieve in the future." Everyone in the room remained silent as they contemplated their own reason for pursuing Naraku.
"So what is your cause for aiding us in pursuing Naraku?" Miroku asked Lelouch curiously, Kikyo and everyone else in the room waiting in anticipation for Lelouch's answer.
"My reason is quite simple…" Lelouch answered. "…love is my reason. I fight this insidious demon for the one I hold dear in my heart…"
"That's enough you bastard!" InuYasha snarled as he yanked Lelouch from his bed by the collar of Lelouch's shirt. Lelouch's eyes almost changed instantly, his expression turning into a less than thrilled glance as he and InuYasha stared each other down eye to eye.
"Place me down half-wit," Lelouch ordered sharply, InuYasha falling suit to the power of the Geass. He gently placed down the Geass user onto the bed, everyone looking onto this feat with an amazed expression on their faces. As Kikyo observed this, the words of C.C popped into her mind, wondering if this was what she could have possibly meant by the "power of an emperor" or so to speak.
"What the hell did you do to me?" InuYasha asked, the power of the Geass fading from him. "What kind of mind trick…?"
"He has the power of an emperor InuYasha," Kikyo interrupted as she took a seat at the side of Lelouch's bed. "Lelouch, I was instructed by a strange woman to explain the situation of something she called a "Geass" I think. She had told me to tell you that your Geass will not be the same, and that it will advance even greater then it once did. Also, she said you must master this Geass as well as a spiritual weapon of some sort in order to conquer Naraku."
"Spiritual weapon?" Lelouch asked skeptically, wondering what this weapon could possibly be. "Hmm, it seems I'm not the only one who has entered the feudal time… C.C has also joined the party…"
"So, you probably need to learn swordsmanship skills then right?" Kagome asked Lelouch, Lelouch shrugging in response.
"In the academy I attended, we did learn fencing which accounted as a type of swords play, so I know the basics, but wouldn't say I know anything beyond that," Lelouch answered.
"Well then, this is perfect!" Miroku exclaimed, everyone looking back at him in confusion. "InuYasha and Lelouch have some type of rivalry going on right now right? So, let's give them each a wooden sword and let them duke it out in a practice area. It'll give Lelouch some training with an actual weapon, and it'll let InuYasha get some of that pent up aggression out of his system."
"Good idea Monk," Kagome agreed, everyone in the room nodding in agreement.
"I'm going to give you the beat down of your lifetime," InuYasha whispered into Lelouch's ear as he wandered past the Geass user to the door. Lelouch only flashed the half breed a condescending smile, which only furthered the dog demon's anger toward him.
"I hope you know what you're getting into Lelouch…" Kikyo whispered into Lelouch's ear, placing her right hand onto Lelouch's left hand. Lelouch gave her a reassuring smile as he thought of the words of C.C within his mind.
"Hmm, so I guess in order to get any real answers for why I'm in this world, I must defeat this Naraku guy," Lelouch thought, looking up at the ceiling for a second before following Kikyo out the door to meet InuYasha and the gang at the training field.
At the training field, Kagome and Sango had set up a small ring, InuYasha already waiting in the middle with his wooden sword in hand. His favorite weapon, the Tetsusaiga sat on the sidelines, guarded by Miroku and Shippo, just in case InuYasha decided to try to use it to intervene in the training.
"Where is that fool?" InuYasha barked, everyone looking at the impatient demon with annoyance.
"Here I am…"
InuYasha looked back, Lelouch standing behind him dressed in a full training outfit, his wooden sword tucked underneath his armpit.
"Bout time you got here…" InuYasha commented as Lelouch simply snickered. "I thought you might have chickened out since you were fighting me."
"Oh, I wasn't even aware that you were considered a "threat" to me," Lelouch shot back, InuYasha growling as he went into an attack position.
"Let's do this pretty boy," InuYasha growled as Lelouch nodded, taking his sword from out of his armpit and going into a similar attack position as well.
"OK, let's do this!" Miroku shouted, beginning the match. InuYasha attacked first, running at Lelouch as Lelouch went into a defensive position. InuYasha tried to slam his wooden sword into Lelouch's shoulder blade, but Lelouch dodged the blow, rolling away in the nick of time. InuYasha growled as Lelouch recovered from the roll, going offensive as he rushed at InuYasha, who still had his bad turned at the moment due to Lelouch's roll. InuYasha looked back from the corner of his eyes, turning back with an instant, blocking the attack with his own wooden sword. Lelouch looked almost baffled as InuYasha grinned broadly, pushing Lelouch and his wooden sword back easily with his brute strength.
"Ha, this should be a little too easy…" InuYasha barked as he prepared to attack Lelouch once again. "Prepare to meet your defeat pretty boy!"
So, what do you think? New chapter of The Man Who Overcame Death, which shall be considered the "training" chapters. InuYasha will not be the only one training alongside with Lelouch, another well known demon shall be joining in on the fun as well next chapter! See ya then ;)
