VIII.

Kagome awoke the next morning before the sun had even risen. Figuring Megumi was still asleep she decided to do her morning routine of bathing and preparing for the day. Once she was ready she double checked to make sure she had everything for their journey. Deciding that there was nothing else she could do in her room she went to find some breakfast. She was surprised when she saw Megumi sitting at the table with breakfast waiting for her.

Megumi looked at her with a smile, "You are up early. Are you excited about our journey little one?"

Kagome gave her a bright smile as she sat down. "Very I cannot wait to meet your friend Lady Sakura."

Megumi smiled softly, "I am glad you are excited. I am sure there will be many things that we can learn from her in regards to what is happening to you."

Kagome nodded as she began to eat her breakfast, "When do we leave and how long will it take for us to reach Lady Sakura's home?"

Megumi tapped her chin in thought for a few moments, "Well we will be departing after breakfast and we should arrive at Lady Sakura's home in on the morning of the third day."

Kagome nodded once more and they finished their breakfast in silence. Once done they departed their home to go see Lady Sakura. As they were walking Megumi looked at Kagome thinking.

Mind made up she spoke, "I believe I should begin teaching you demon customs as well as training you."

Kagome brighten at that, "I would love to learn more about demonic customs and such."

Megumi smiled at Kagome's enthusiasm, "That works out well then. We will do that as we travel and when we stop for breaks we will continue your combat training and your meditation."

Kagome nodded her head at that it all sounded pretty good to her and she told Megumi so. Once decided Megumi sat right into teaching Kagome about demonic customs.

Their first day was coming to a close and Kagome had learned a lot about demonic customs and such. Megumi was proud of how much she was able to teach Kagome in one day and even happier that they had not been attacked by any jewel crazed demons. After dinner Kagome settled in to do her meditation before she went to sleep. She had learned a little bit of controlling her powers when they stopped for lunch. She could now hold a barrier around herself for an hour.
