InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Chaos ❯ Chapter 9 ( Chapter 9 )

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the anime characters in this story that all ready comes from an anime show. I have a great imagination, but I can't draw worth a flip! That is something that I have had to come to terms with unfortunately. Sigh. Life is so unfair sometimes. But then again, who said that life was fair!

 

Chaos

 

Chapter 9

 

Kagome woke up looking up at her ceiling of her bedroom. She looked around for a few moments before she rolled over to see if she could sleep in. The possibility of sleeping for an hour or two more was very pleasing to her groggy and semi-unconscious mind. She closed her eyes again and grasped the closest feather-like pillow that she could get her hands on.

 

Kagome's hope for sleeping in was short lived when a kitsune came bursting into her room. He jumped on her bed and pounced on it for added affect.

 

“Sesshomaru says that it is time to get up, mama.” Kamui yelled out over his giggles. He had been waiting for the past three hours for Sesshomaru to give him permission to wake up his adopted mother.

 

Kagome saved him from a group of bandits that wanted him to steal for there own personal pleasures. Even as a young kitsune demon, his powers were extremely high for his age. He didn't know how to control them as well as he had hoped by now, but that did not mean that he did not know how to use some sneaky moves of his own to get away with whatever he wanted.

 

Kamui was very good at plants like any other silver fox demon. He spent many long evenings with Kagome showing her his abilities. She would always smile and applaud him on his fine work. Before he would exhaust himself from his experiments he would always make a dark blue or red rose for her to show his appreciation for her confidence in him. Above all the flowers in the four worlds, the dark blue and darkest red roses are her favorites by far. She loved them like they were the last plants and last bit of color in her world. She would then kiss him on the head and tuck him into his bed with a smile and a soft song. Her voice was like no other and her kindness was the only thing that matched it.

 

Kamui was also a little different from most silver fox demons. Before he had come to be with Kagome and his new Uncle Sesshomaru, he lived in the outskirts of a very poor and filthy village full of murderous demons. He had lost his mother and father after a few months of life and he had been passed onto many other relatives until he finally ran away to live on his own. He would sneak into the village every few days to steal some food from an oblivious merchant or family. He would live off the steals for as long as he could before he had to steal again. One time though, he had gotten caught which had been his undoing in the end. He was caught and beaten until he could not tell the difference from up or down. He was then sold to a group of bandits that were passing through town on another raid of a castle in the not too far south. They had treated him like a pet animal that got beaten when it did not do as his masters told me. He was forced to use his demon powers to steal and ruin lives. If he so much as blinked wrong for showed any hint of defiance he was beaten and bloodied for a few days before his demon abilities even had the chance to start to heal him. Even though he was beaten until he was unable to move, Kamui had gained a few abilities on his journeys with the bandits. The most important thing that he had gained was the ability to cloak himself with some illusion spells that he had learned in secret. Those spells had saved his life on more than one occasion from being caught on a raid through a rich demons home. Those spells also allowed him to hide from his captors for a few days before they had figured out what he had done. They eventually learned of his secret ability with magic spells and chained him up with a spell binding chain unless he was in a home stealing. Even then he was not allowed to cover himself with out two or three of them in front and behind him at all times.

 

The bandits had finally made it to the western lands at one point. They had heard the rumors of the great and powerful demon lord Sesshomaru being alive after four hundred and fifty years after the barrier had been created. They had decided to put their skills to the test after a large amount of alcohol and woman. They had spent over six months later on finding and planning the attack on the famous Sesshomaru.

 

That is where Kamui was saved from the horrible nightmare that was his life. They had just stormed the castle, it just seemed to appear out of no where in front of them when they were trying to find a way in, and they automatically were encountered by Lady Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru in the entrance hall. They were killed even before they could yell a war cry. One second Sesshomaru was in front of them and the next second they were all dead besides he, himself. He didn't know how he did it but his speed was like nothing like anything that he had seen. He also at the time didn't know why he was spared his life that wonderful day. He only later learned that he was allowed to live because Kagome had sensed his presence and his despair from over a mile away. Kamui was stumped on the idea that a miko was still alive in this time for he had heard that they had all been killed out by two half-breed demons almost five hundred years ago. He was in complete amazement when he learned that Kagome was in fact the creator of the barrier that separated the worlds from each other. He was amazed at her caring nature and peaceful aura that soothed him.

 

He was shortly cared for by Kagome and Sesshomaru for many few years thereafter. He later came to a village to play with some of kids his own age with Kagome or Sesshomaru watching him from afar. He came to belong with a family to whom had two boys around his age that he played with. Kagome finally after a long time allowed his to spend more and more time with his new adopted family. As time progressed, he spent more time at the village sleeping there than he did at the mansion that he called home for so many years. Kagome finally asked him if he would like to live with the family that he had come to be so attacked to. He had to admit that he was very excited to have the opportunity to live with a family that had other kids his own age. He agreed with no real thought with his decision and left to live at the village permanently.

 

Kamui was so excited to live with a loving family with other kids and friends to live with. This wonderful commodity was lived out for a few years before he started to drift from his adopted family. He spent more and more time looking at the sunset wondering what his mother was doing at the mansion. He drifted from his friends and then he slowly drifted from his adopted brothers and parents. He frequently ended up waking to nightmares of never seeing Kagome and Sesshomaru again. He eventually couldn't sleep or eat without feeling like he had to leave and be with his real family again. He was always a handful for his adopted parents to handle sometimes with his powers that it started to make more and more sense to leave and return to where he belonged. So he had left his adopted family with watery good-byes. They had told him before he left that they had expected this to happen and that he was welcome at anytime. Kamui had smiled and left to come home at long last. And from what he say so far, Kagome was in desperate need of him right now.

 

Kamui was no idiot when it came to Kagome and her behavior. He had spent many years with her to know that she was deeply bothered with something important. He found out about the attacks on the castle from Kouga when he got back and he had talked Sakura into telling him about Inuyasha and Naraku being released. He had always feared that this would come. It took him a year for Kagome to tell him about anything to do with her past. He finally learned her secrets that had happened in her past before the barrier was put up. He was so angry for what happened to her that he was in a foul mood for a month. Kagome and Sesshomaru both explained that what had happened was in the past and to not fret over something that he could not change.

 

“Kamui, stop bouncing. It is too early in the morning to be doing that.”

 

“Yes, mama!” Kamui said as he bounced once more before plopping down on her bed.

 

“What time is it?” she asked with a moan. Kagome was never a morning person even after over five hundred years.

 

“It is past breakfast. Sesshomaru says that you need to run to the kitchen, get something quick to eat, and race over to the dojo. The other members are all ready there waiting for you.”

 

At his words, Kagome's eyes widened to the size of sausages before she scrambled out of bed with a thud. Kagome was out of her room pulling on some socks and shoes. She stumbled a few steps before she completely finished her task of getting dressed.

 

I can't believe that they are here all ready. I am so late. I wonder who took me to my room? I guess that it was Kurama or more than likely Sesshomaru. He was there for almost the entire conversation after all. I am surprised he didn't show up before Kurama could even get out of his bed. Kagome thought as she rushed down the stairs to get a piece of toast from Sakura.

 

Sakura was waiting on her at the entrance hall doors. She held two buttered pieces of toast out to her and smiled.

 

“Good morning, Kagome. I see you have slept in as usual. You think that you would be used to it after being alive for so long.”

 

Kagome only grumbled and did a good imitation of Sesshomaru growling. She took the offered toast from Sakura and ran down the corridor with a fleeting good morning and thank you.

 

Kagome rushed down to the dojo in a flash with only a rush of wind behind her to tell everyone that she was late again. Kagome stuffed the remaining bite of toast in her mouth as she reached the dojo doors. She swallowed quickly before opening them only to be pulled in to a huge hug by a wolf demon.

 

“Yuko! It is nice to see. How are you doing with your new mate?”

 

“I wish that she was you my lovely Kagome.”

 

“Yuko, you know better to talk like that. Razela loves you very much!” Kagome gasped out.

“Yes, you are right. But I just can't help it. Every time I see you it makes me forget the love of my life, well besides you of course.”

 

Kagome laughed and lightly pushed him in the shoulder when he had finally released her from his enthusiastic greeting. “Stop that. You know that flatter does not work on me. You should know that by now even if your father does not.”

 

Yuko chuckled. He well knew the comments that his father had once laid upon Kagome when he was younger. He still tried to do just that now but was often given a glare by Sesshomaru for his efforts. Most of his comments now were only to cheer her up, annoy Sesshomaru, or to make her blush.

 

“Good morning gentleman! And lady.” Kagome added upon seeing Botan standing next to Yusuke and Kuwabara.

 

“Good morning Sesshomaru. I will get you back for the wake up call this morning.” Kagome said in greeting to her brother who stood in the center of the room.

 

A couple of members in the room chuckled knowing fully well that Kagome was not a morning person by any means. A band of demons could attack the mansion and she would only roll over, send her power out at them with her miko purification, and roll back over to sleep for as long as she could.

 

“Hey, I don't think it was funny.” Kagome scowled at them.

 

Someone coughed and russled his feathers.

 

“Let us begin. All of you will be training the four new allies that we have recently acquired. I have to warn you all that this not going to be a short training. These allies of ours need a lot of work. Do not fail me. Begin!” Sesshomaru yelled out the last command.

 

Immediate action was put into affect. A dozen demons went after Kurama and Kuwabara while the other dozen went after Yusuke and Hiei.

 

They fought after a long time dodging plow after plow. None of them managed to land a fit on any of the trainers. This fact did not go unnoticed by any of the trainers or trainees. Yusuke, being the most impulsive of the four, besides maybe Kuwabara, was losing his patience rapidly.

 

What is the point of this? They are not teaching us anything! Yusuke thought.

 

Ten minutes later, Yusuke was all but patient. He was hot, tired, and bleeding. Two of his opponents, a dragon demon and a phoenix demon, were slashing at him with their claws and talons every time he let his guard down to fight another opponent. He was bleeding heavily but not enough to cause him to be seriously injured. They stung with a vengeance and would not stop bleeding. His demon powers were not given enough time to heal him before his skin was slashed open once more.

 

That's it. Let's see them block this!

 

Yusuke raised his hand at the phoenix and dragon demons that were coming at him again. “Spirit Gun!” he shouted.

 

Kagome appeared in front of them and raised a barrier before it could fit the dojo walls. It smacked into her barrier and disappeared as it was purified by it.

 

“Just as a lesson to you, the laws of energy do not apply to this kind of situation. If you try an attack like that on me, Yusuke, then it will not last long against my miko powers. And I would appreciate it if you didn't blast the walls apart. I just had them redone from the last time they got crumpled into little pieces. I hope they will last for at least two more weeks before I have to replace them.”

 

If it was not for the laughter in her eyes and the smile on her lips then Yusuke would have thought that she was truly mad at him for his energy attack. Well, not that it would have worked at all anyway. As soon as his opponents saw the attack coming they had automatically pulled out of its way along with everyone else. Kuwabara would have been smeared if it had not been for a trainer that had pushed him out of the way before if fried him.

 

Kagome stepped out of the way of the fight with Yusuke and looked over at the other members of the team. Kurama and Hiei were doing much like Yusuke. They both had slashed clothes and blood running down their bodies. They were sweating and gasping at the intense training they were receiving.

 

Kagome turned her attention then to Kuwabara. He was not fairing well at all. He could not keep up with his opponents at the fate that they were attacking him. His spirit sword was out in his hand but it did no bit of difference against his opponents.

 

Lets see if he has learned anything. Kagome thought.

 

Kagome calmly walked over to Kuwabara and his opponents. They quickly glanced at her to see her shake her head twice. They moved out of her way and scattered to the edges of the various walls. Kuwabara looked at them with a look of pure confusion before noticing Kagome walking toward him.

 

“Lets see if you have learned anything Kuwabara. You are not putting what you have learned from me yesterday into your fight. Do not let them overwhelm you. Fight them on your terms not theirs.” Kagome said as she approached him.

 

“Hogosha, come to me!” Kagome yelled above all of the fighting. Her sword in its sheath came at her from the main part of the mansion. It hovered in front of her before she strapped it to her waist. She pulled her blade out of its sheath with a ring of metal coming out of its confines.

 

Yusuke and Kurama looked over at them as they paused in their fighting. Their opponents let them pausing as they to wanted to see if Kuwabara had in fact learned anything from Kagome. They knew from personal experience the outstanding training Kagome provided for anyone counted as her friends. The previous lords of the Demon world had trained with Kagome a few weeks ago. They left with the abilities that these four were going to learn very soon. The only catch to learning those abilities is the will to learn them. The receiver has to want to learn what Kagome tries to teach them. If they let themselves learn, then they will have no trouble defeating some of their opponents now. None of them could beat Sesshomaru, but they could beat some of them if they truly wanted to.

 

Hiei eventually stopped his assault on his opponent for they were not paying him any mind and were still beating him. This, as you can imagine, frustrated the hell out of him. He finally turned his attention to the stupid idiot and the wench with to much power.

 

“But I can't fight a girl!” Kuwabara yelled out loud in exasperation. Even after several years of fighting his honor code about fighting females was still set in stone.

 

“You are going to be fighting females later on during our battles. You might as well get used to it now rather than later. Be prepared.”

 

As Kagome finished her last sentence she attacked Kuwabara with her sword coming down for a head assault. Kuwabara raised his spirit sword up and parried her attack. Kagome forced him to parry again with another one of her attacks. She and Kuwabara did circles around each other; neither one truly gaining any advantage on the other. Kurama, Hiei, and Yusuke did notice that Kagome was slowly speeding up with Kuwabara keeping up with her every move.

 

Now it is time to see what he has learned. Kagome went into action after that. She raced behind him with incredible speed and slashed at him. She fit him in the back with her sword, spilling some more of his blood on the floor. Kuwabara fell down on his stomach with a thud.

 

“Stop thinking Kuwabara. You are not even trying! Fight me like you know you can. You are not fighting me to your full ability nor are you even trying! Defend yourself!”

 

Kagome leaped forward again with her sword and forced him to raise his spirit sword while on the floor facing her.

 

“Stop thinking Kuwabara. Feel my energy out. This should be very easy with your spirit awareness. Concentrate. Know where I am going to attack before I attack.” Kagome said. She then whispered, “I know you can do this. You have it in you to do this.”

 

Kuwabara's energy flared out. It suddenly covered him from head to toe. He raised himself from the floor still holding Kagome's blade at bay.

 

Kagome raised her sword away from him and seemed to disappear. Kuwabara still to seem like a statue. He calmed his heavy breathing and he closed his eyes.

 

After less than thirty seconds, Kuwabara spun to his right and raised his sword to prevent his shoulder and arm from getting chopped off. Kagome settled on the floor with her feet firmly planted.

 

“I knew you could do it.” Kagome smiled in approval.

 

Kuwabara smile back in gratitude.

 

Their happy moment was soon ended when a servant came bursting into the dojo. Milord, Milady, there are demons out front. They are demanding they see you Milady!”

 

Kagome stepped back from Kuwabara with a sigh. “They always interrupt when I am just getting warmed up. This is getting annoying.” she whispered.

 

Kagome flew out of the dojo with Sesshomaru not far behind. Yusuke looked at the other members of his group before he ran after them. Hiei, Botan, Kuwabara, and the other two dozen demons followed after him.

 

~9~

 

Well, this is a Happy New Years Eve gift to you all. I hope you liked it. This chapter was meant to inform you on Kamui and show you that Kuwabara was all ready learning stuff from Kagome with only one session with her. I hope that you liked it.

 

Have a wonderful New Year! 2007 is almost here!!! Can you believe it?
