Training

Miroku's POV

To say that I was shocked to see Kagome-sama would be an understatement. To think, we could've hurt her! Insert my unbelieving snort here. She beat us down. HARD. I know she won't hurt us… but with all that power if something takes over her.. We'll be in BIG trouble. I should've know that is how Inuyasha would've acted though.

*FLASHBACK!*
"She WHAT?!" Inuyasha shouted.

I sighed. "She is a hanyou now and she beat us up. We are no match for her. Do NOT go galumphing through the forest now. She will not be happy with us if we did that.

"That couldn't be her. She was always a weakling that needed our protection. That hanyou was too powerful to be her."

"Shut up and listen to me! That was KA-GO-ME! Get it through that thick head of yours! Your attitude and actions were what made her leave! No doubt you always putting her down and running off to Kikyo every chance you get is what pushed her away!"

"Feh. What do you know monk? Maybe Kikyo knows the answer to this..."

"That is the exact reason she left! Don't you see? IT'S YOUR FAULT!"

"Shut up! You don't know anything!" Inuyasha ran out of the hut as I stared after him pitifully.

'Will you ever see the truth Inuyasha?'
*END FLASHBACK!*

When Kagome had become someone that I cared for enough to worry about? I couldn’t say. She was no longer just a ally in destroying Naraku, but a close-knit friend that I could trust with anything. Which is probably why I went to talk to Sango about it.

"Hey Sango... How are you feeling?"

"Houshi… What do you want?"

I brushed off her comment because I was so used to them. "I'm worried about Kagome..."

She sighed. "I am too... How do you think she became a hanyou?"

"Maybe the jewel or something?"

"Might be. Did you see how powerful she was though? What happened in those 6 months that we didn't see her?"

"Scary, ne?"

"I'm just so scared for her!" I jumped when Sango started to cry.

"Don't cry! She'll be fine!" I walked over to Sango and hugged her as she sobbed into my robes. I warned my hand not to grope her or any chances with her would be hopeless. "Sango...”

She looked up at me. Gods... how much I loved her. 'Love?' Wow. Who would of thought. It was true though. I loved her.

"Hou…shi..." She leaned upwards toward me.

'Do not grope... Do not grope... Do not grope...' After calming my hand, I leaned forward and gently pressed my lips to hers. The feeling! It was amazing! Her soft lips on mine... I needed more. Asking for entrance, our tongues started battling for dominance. When we both finally ran out of breath, we pulled away, but I held her in my arms. "Sango… would you mind courting me?" Sango looked up at me with wide eyes. I know we had gotten closer since Kagome had left, and that this was a big step, but I thought we were ready for it. "If you don't think we're ready, we-"

"Yes...”

My heart caught in my throat. "W-What?"

"Yes!" She shouted enthusiastically right before she pulled me into another passionate kiss.

'Yes.. .’ I thought as I drifted into blissful happiness.

Inu's POV

'Kagome can't be a hanyou! She was always weak and I had to protect her! It will always be that way!'

\You really don't think that, do you?/

'Who are you?'

\Your inner conscious. You do know what you are saying isn't true, right?/

'Yes it is! And you know it! Now stay away and don't come back.'

\That's impossible. I am you. Oh! Look. You have company./

I looked up and of all people for me to see, I saw Haru. "What do you want?"

She glared at me. "Is it such a random occurrence that someone wants some time to themselves?"

"Whatever. I'm leaving."

"Wait. Can we talk?"

"Why?"

"Please?" She gave me a puppy dogface. 'She looks beautiful like that... What the? WHY AM I THINKING THESE THINGS?!'

"Feh." I said as I sat down. "What did you want to talk about?"

"The girl you liked is Kagome, right?" She said with a slightly sad tone.

"Why do you need to know?"

"'Cause she's with your brother."

Kag's POV

I looked up at my current opponent, and tapped into his thoughts. It was funny what he was thinking. It was along the lines of. 'Wha...? How...? She was dead... But now she's alive... What the..?' I started laughing and it broke him out of his stupor.

"Woman. What are you laughing at?"

"Your thoughts. Now are we going to battle? Or no? I don't have ALL day." I read his thoughts again. 'This weak wench has the gall to laugh at I, Sesshomaru? I shall need to teach her a lesson.'

"#1. I am not weak. #2. You will not teach me a lesson, because I will win." I brought Soinu up to block Sesshomaru's Toukijin. "*yawn* Is that all you've got?"

Sesshomaru growled at me and I merely grinned. "Hehe.. Time to end this." I changed my stance to do Itakioshu; my favorite move; when Sesshomaru surprised me. He picked me and jumped through the window to the clearing in front of the castle. He dropped me and started brushing himself.

"Ugh. Hanyou. I'm diseased. O well. I will end this now." He changed into his giant dog demon form and I grinned. 'Time to try this out.' I gathered a LARGE amount of my miko powers and shouted into the air, "Reyokov!" 'This is gonna hurt..' I quickly prepared my weapons for the Gikotsu, then magicked them to attack Sesshomaru after the attack. I formed an army of undead cows, horses, birds, and goats. After I had everything, I pulled out my bow and shot the Gikotsu at Sesshomaru. With the last of my energy, I shape shifted into a blue/black Inu youkai (like Sesshomaru was at the moment) and made sure to add my silver stripes, which made it me. 'Oh.. Am I gonna feel this in the morning..'

[ATTACK!] I shouted at all creatures/items under my command telepathically. I charged at Sesshomaru and slashed at him. He howled and sent a wave of poisonous gas at me. [Gah.. get a tic tac.. Your breath smells!] His eyes widened and I grinned. [Let's finish this. Now.] I charged at him and jumped. He dodged right into my purification sword and roared in pain. 'Ow.. that has got to hurt Fluffy..' I looked at my army of animals and saw them taking care of the guards. I sauntered over to the demon lord and flipped him over. Sticking my paw to his face, I whispered telepathically, [Checkmate. I win. Get used to me. I will be staying here. If you say no, I will beat you down AGAIN, and show everyone that the powerful Lord of the Western was beaten by a hanyou. That wouldn't be good for your rep. would it Fluffy?] I pressed my paw to a spot on his neck and he fell unconscious. 'Too easy.' I switched back into my hanyou form and called off all my minions and got my weapons. 'Now for a bath. I stink!' I jogged off to the bathhouse and left Sesshomaru's servants to take care of him. 'Boy.. Am I spent..'

-NEXT DAY-
I woke up with a major headache, but other than that, I felt pretty good. I thought back to what happened last night after Sesshy woke up.

*FLASHBACK!*
I felt a presence enter my room (She stole a room! *giggle*) and started to read the person's thoughts to figure out who is could be. I already knew, but reading Fluffy's thoughts was fun. 'This woman.. She beat me.. I will just have to destroy her now.' I twisted over in my sleep and he walked up to me with poison on his claws. I stayed on guard while Sesshomaru came closer. As he went to strike, Soinu went and attacked him. [Thanks..] I mumbled to my sword before I feel back asleep.
*END FLASHBACK*

I woke up in the morning with my sword back in my sheath and blood on the carpet. 'That's gonna take forever to clean up... Gah... I'm still tired... Another bath would do me good.' I got up and stretched. I picked up my clothes and walked off in the direction of the bathhouse. I slipped inside and dropped my cocky facade. I was still very depressed with what happened, but I was starting to get over it. I thought back to what my mom said when dad died. Something like, 'Let your feelings out in a song…’ How cheesy… O well... It wouldn't hurt.

Sess' POV

I woke up with many minor scratches on me. 'Darn that girl's sword. Who would've thought that it had a will to protect its master? Just like Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga. I still can't believe she beat me… O well, she is a hanyou. I will kill her on her human night. I need to go think.' After I finished this little chat with me, I went to walk to my study when I heard a beautiful voice start to sing. I went to investigate and smelled that hanyou woman. It wouldn't hurt to listen. Maybe I would find out about her. What I heard surprised me. (Sorry for Sess, OOC-ness, but under his emotionless facade, he has to have SOME feelings. Back to the story.)

+When this began
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
And I let it all out to find that I'm
Not the only person with these things in mind
Inside of me
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
Nothing to lose
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own

I want to heal
I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long
Erase all the pain 'til it's gone
I want to heal
I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
I was confused
Looking everywhere/only to find that it's
Not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
So what am I
What do I have but negativity
'Cause I can't justify the
Way everyone is looking at me
Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
The fault is my own
I want to heal
I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long
Erase all the pain 'til it's gone
I want to heal
I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I will never know
Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel
Anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be
Anything 'til I break away from me
And I will break away
I'll find myself today

I want to heal
I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long
Erase all the pain 'til it's gone
I want to heal
I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I want to heal
I want to feel like I'm
Somewhere I belong

I want to heal
I want to feel like I'm
Somewhere I belong

Somewhere I belong..+

Kag's POV

After singing, believe it or not, I felt a lot better. I sighed as I sank deeper into the water. I sniffed to keep from crying and froze. 'Crap... Sesshomaru heard?! Well he doesn't know who I am, so that's ok. I guess...' I got up, clothed, and walked out right past Sesshomaru. 'As much fun as this has been, I need to train if I want to beat Naraku in a month. And what better way to train than on weak demons with jewel shards. [Thanks Sesshy, but I have to go.] I heard him running down the hall to stop/try to kill me, and laughed. I jumped out the window in my room and started flying. I found Sai and Shippo camping in the forest and walked over. "Come on guys, let's go train."

-1 WEEK LATER-
'Gah... I hate training.' After a hard day of training (lotsa demons came to get her jewel shards..) I went to take a bath. After my bath, I walked back to camp and looked on in shock at what I saw. Three heads simultaneously turned to me and gasped.

"Kagome-sama?"
"Kagome-chan?"
"Kagome?!"

CHAPPIE END! ^_^ What did you think?
