Dinner Part 2

So far things had been going great at dinner. Kagome had spoken with Inu No Taisho and to Akana about many different things, but mostly about her. Only because they would quickly dismiss any other topic with a short vague answer so they could find out more about this young girl.

"Tell me Kagome," Inu No Taisho chuckled. "When were you born?"

Kagome smiled sheepishly. "Well, I think almost one hundred and some odd winters ago. I only remember my mother telling me she loved me when I had just come into my twelfth winter and then nothing only darkness."

The smile disappeared from her face as she continued her story.

"The next thing I knew I was being trained. I could never see their face, only an outline of a man. He trained me to control my powers and how to fight. Then I found my self on the ground in front of a tree. He said he had protected me at my mother's request before she died." She paused to look at the faces of those who surrounded her.

Akana and Touga looked like they knew something they weren't telling her. But she ignored it, for now. She took a quick glance at Sesshomaru, and then quickly looked elsewhere, he had been looking at her intensely and it made her blush.

"He said his name was Bakuseno, and that he was a good friend of my mothers, and my fathers. But he would not tell who my father was. I only ever saw him once and even then my mother did not know I had seen him. She had been speaking with him but I did not know what they were talking about." She smiled. "Then a few days later after I had been wandering around for a bit that snake demon attacked me asking for some sort of jewel and I'm sure you know the rest."

No one seemed to smile truly, but smile they did. "That is an interesting story Kagome." Akana smiled. "But tell me, what does your father look like? I, myself, have never seen the man before, your mother never mention a man so when she told me she was with child and married, well I just was shocked."

Kagome laughed and nodded, more than happy to tell the demoness about her father. "My mother always told me he was a kind man and very strong. She said he could speak to the trees, whisper to the winds and find the secrets the earth beneath my feet held."

Akana and Touga nodded. Begging for her to continue. "He is very tall, his hair blacker than the night sky and as thin as a sakura blossoms petal. He had the physique of a warrior, if not a warlord, yet when I felt his aura with my own; I felt no malice, no anger, only sadness as he walked away from my mother. His skin was as pale as the snow and eyes bluer than the Sarcatian Seas. Those eyes held so much love when he saw me watching him walking away from her, it still makes me wonder why he never stayed."

Akana sniffled a bit with a sad smile on her face. "Your father sounded like a wonderful man, Kagome. I'm sure that if it were his choice he would have stayed with you and your mother and he would have prevented her death with everything in him."

Kagome nodded and looked to the window and out into the night sky, wishing she knew where her father had gone, like her mother he was probably dead. "It's been almost one hundred and fifteen years since the day my mother said goodbye to me. I doubt he is still alive. He looked completely human to me. I could feel no demonic power in his aura, only purity."

Akana came up behind the girl and offered her, her hand. Kagome took it carefully. The demoness squeezed her hand with a mischievous smile plastered to her lips.

"My dear, would you like to spar with some of the soldiers? I can feel the need to stretch out your muscles dear." Akana laughed. "It will be good for you, Kagome, come along with me and we shall get you put into a sparring kimono. Then you can go and show some of the newer soldiers how a real warrior fights."

Kagome smirked and quickly got up from her seat. She bowed to Touga respectfully before asking, "Touga-Sama would it be to much to ask for a few of your soldiers to spar with?"

Touga stared blankly at the girl for a moment before giving a deep chuckle and nodding his head in confirmation.

Kagome smiled. "You and Sesshomaru-Sama are more than welcome to come and watch. I do not mind fighting with others watching."

With that the two women were gone and pout of the room heading towards Kagome's chambers to put on a fighting kimono and to grab the sword her mother had left her.

Once there, Kagome quickly changed into a black fighting outfit that looked very much like a demon slayers uniform. The armor was silvery with flecks of blue and gold. It clung to her much like a second skin, but was not too clingy as to show everything. For being almost 14 winters she was well developed. She had some curves and her chest was somewhat large for how young she was.

She grabbed her sword and slung it over her back with a devious grin plastered over her face as Akana led her to the dojo.
