Split Personality Disaster

Ch. 16 – The Horrors of Training

KAGOME POV

[({..**..})]

Oh God! I couldn't stop panting as Mom had me running laps around the school. And to tell you the truth I always thought the school was small but trust me as soon as you have to start running a gazillion laps around it; it doesn't seem so small anymore. I sighed out loud as I came to a walking finish in front of my loving mom.

"Mom. Did you undergo these practices too?" I asked, a bit suspiciously.

"Yup." She answered cheerfully.

"Then why couldn't you have run with me? It's nicer with a companion, you know?" I asked sadly.

"I know. But I'm out of practice."

I anime fainted, I swear.She's such a bum!

No wonder you are.

Shut up. I'm tired here.

I never told you to blab it to the whole world that you've got powers.

I couldn't say anything to that. I mean, what she said is true…

Ha! Got ya there!

"Next!" I groaned as Miroku neared us in all his glory. He didn't even seem tired. Well you might be wondering how he got into this. Don't worry, not my fault this time.

This time…

Selene's very annoying, don't you agree? Anyways, Miroku got reeled into this because he let it slip that he's the monk of this town. So Mom told him to do this too, except he got it a bit harder since he said that he runs every day for two hours. When he said that, I just stared at him blankly; where in the world did he get the time to do that? Because that friend of mine, if you haven't noticed yet, has always been with me or Haku…

Mama handed me a metal ball that seemed to be the size of a soccer ball. I took it from her not expecting it to pull me to the ground. "God, why is it to heavy?" I whined both mentally and outwardly. Again, Miroku wasn't fazed by it. Where the heck did he get his time?

"Now I want you to run with this. Good luck." And with that she blew that goddamned whistle of hers. I sighed. Another ten laps to go. And the worst part was that she was timing us.

As I was running I suddenly realized and wondered why we have to do this. I mean, this isn't training my powers as far as I could see. I decided that I would ask her when I see her after the ten laps.

Have you ever tried running with a heavy twenty pound metal ball around a school about ten times immediately after previously running the school ten times? Let me tell you guys this: It's not easy. It's not fun. It's painful and boring as hell. That's what I found out as I dropped to the ground in front of my mom's feet as I finished the excruciatingly hard workout.

"Mom." I gasped out. "Why am I doing this? How is this helping me?"

She answered coolly. "You're building your stamina. Today's practice is over. We'll be doing this for the next few weeks until you get used to it Kagome." She crouched down to my level. "I'm sorry dear, but it's for your safety. I'll be doing my own training as usual as well."

"You do training? Usual? Why?" I asked confused.

"What do you think I do when I wake up so early?" She grinned as I finally put everything into place. "And why… well let's just say I had a feeling something like this would come up and I wanted to be prepared." She winked at me. I laid there for a few minutes before I understood the hidden meaning in those words.

I gasped aloud. "You mean… y-you have the Sight too?" She nodded not bothering to turn around.

"Now get up and come along Kagome. You're cooling down your body when you walk after a harsh walk… Unless you want some really painful cramps tomorrow I suggest you get up and follow us." When she said 'us' that's when I noticed that Miroku was already beside her and walking alongside her.

I took control of my body and forcefully got it up to stand and took the necessary steps to catch up to the already far away pair. I just knew that even though I was walking now, I was still going to have some painful cramps tomorrow.

Better stretch when you get home.

Heh. Yah. As soon as I get a good night's sleep.

[({..**..})]

I woke up the next morning to the shouts of my name and a bounce on my bed. I groggily opened my eyes slowly to see a pair of chocolate brown eyes staring into my face. Well what would you do? Scream? It's perfectly logical right? So that's what I did.

"Ohmygosh Kagome. That hurts. You've got one hell of a voice." Mom whined as she rubbed her ears as her face contorted in pain that I felt guilty for. Well that's what she gets for waking us up so early.

"…." I stared at her. "Mom, you just swore."

"Parents swear too dear. And the one time I act as a kid is in the morning before my run."

So being the sleepy head I was it took a few minutes for that to sink in. Finally the gears turned as cranking noises took places in my head. "Don't tell me it's morning Mom. Please don't tell me I have to go on a run with you. Please?" I begged. She shook her head, her eyes filled with amusement. "Come on and get up, get ready and eat a light breakfast. We're going for a run that you'll never forget." She promised.

Aw well. Crap.

Parents should never promise. It always means that it's something bad.

Oh how I agree with you…. I groaned.

Today was NOT going to be fun. And my cramps…. I groaned once more imagining the pain that was going to be doubled. NOT FUN.
