The snow might have disappeared but it was still freezing outside. Large gray clouds covered the sky. The wind brisk, the slightest howl in the air. Kagome switched out the sweater she was wearing for a turtle neck, also slipping on boots and her new coat. Pulling out a thick outer haori from one of the wardrobes in a room down the hall for Shippo.
The daggers she received from training were slid in her boots and the throwing stars under her sleeves.
"Silver is there a place here that carries sheaths?" Kagome asks holding yin and yang by her side. Without saying anything he just walked off.
Down corridors, through a gated flight of stairs. The walls and floors were made of stone. Going down the tunnel they reached a large golden arched door with engravings of the yellow dragon. Silver signaled to open it with a nod of his head. Tentatively she pushed lightly, slowly opening up to a magnificent weaponry. An ancient tree grew in the center of the room displaying buds of cherry blossoms with bark that looked like it went through times. A large amount of magic was surrounding the tree. Silver pushed from behind toward the tree. Kagome stumbled into the tree her hand rested against its bark. "Why did you do that silver?"
Trying to pull her hand away but it was stuck. Beneath her hand a golden glow began to accumulate shining outwards. It was warm and comforting. Old ragged bark began to smooth out to its earlier days. The branches filled out with plentiful large buds waiting to burst.
Kagome pulled once again when the glow disappeared. Not paying attention as the crescent moon from before appeared with a glow around the outline. It disappeared just as fast as it came. Small ruby red eyes shimmering against skin as white as snow. The branches fluttered and twisted as if it was alive. CREAK! CRACK! POP! Along the lines through the bark in the middle split open holding two glowing sheaths. "This is so cool." Kagome was admonished. Taking the sheaths from their place the tree returned to its proper form. "That was weird but also really cool. I love these sheaths." Kagome slipped her newly covered swords into their place. Yang at her waist and Yin at her back next to her leather quiver full of well made arrows.
"Which bow should I choose?" Kagome asks out loud to no one in particular. "Oka-san I finished picking the fruit you asked." Shippo calls entering the room. "Thank you. I'm coming I just need to pick a bow."
"Why you already have two new swords?" Shippo asks as kagome picked up a bow sending a flow of miko energy through it. "This one will do. I need a bow because I'm still getting used to using swords." Kagome strapped on her bow and turns to shippo. "Are you ready to go?"
"I sure am Oka-san. "
All three of them head back up stairs.
"So silver where do you think we should start the map was blank?"
"Let's start in the western lands where your familiar and work our way around. We must visit all the lands to spread the news."
"I agree plus I'm gonna need to learn how to use these swords. Maybe I'll come across Sesshomaru while in the west." Her new swords seemed to like that decision as they pulsed enthusiastically.
