"Dangerous…yet not a threat." Youko explained, and the blankness of his face couldn't quite hide the excitement bubbling up underneath. "Powerful and with so much potential, but raw. Amicable. Full of possibilities."
Kagome wasn't sure how she felt about being described like some type of mythical being, but Youko's confidence spurred her on.
"What will I have to do?" she asked.
He was soothed by her words as well, enough so that the lines around his face relaxed and pulled up into a softer smile. "Nothing you are uncomfortable with. You shall be a guest. I only ask that you allow me to train your growing powers so that when your quest is over, you can be presented at the clan meeting…and demonstrate."
"Demonstrate? I won't have to purify anyone will I?"
"I can teach you accuracy." Youko said assuredly. "You will take no lives. We are not barbarians."
She let out a shaky laugh. "Of course not."
Kuronue flopped back down onto the grassy floor, this time his face positioned towards them. "If you show them one of your hama no ya, you will definitely convince the clans of your prowess."
