I don't own anything so please don't sue

"If the introductions are over with then can we begin?" Genkai's calm voice came out of the backyard. Yusuke muttered under his breath before standing up. "We'd better go before she gets impatient." He led the way onto the training grounds.

Kagome nervously followed the teenager into the backyard. She knew that soon she'd have to tell them her story. But she wasn't sure if she was ready to talk about going to the feudal era or the battle for the Shikon No Tama that once again resided in her body. She shuddered remembering the pain as the wish had been made. Her eyes glazed over she slipped into a daydream remembering the past.

Kagome sat on a blood-covered field, holding a completed purified Shikon Jewel. She looked around the ravaged land. There were tears in her eyes. There was so much death and destruction because of this jewel. Her mind turned over the day's events. She could once again see Koga being pierced through the heart by Kohaku's Kusari-gama. He wasn't supposed to die that day none of them were. Koga, Ginta, Hakku, and Ayame, I will find a way to save you! She sighed wistfully holding her side where Naraku's tentacle pierced her flesh. Wincing she staggered to her feet limping to where the demon slayer and the monk were attending the injured haynou. She glanced at Inuyasha, tears springing to her eyes. His body was covered in deep gashes and his once bright golden eyes were clouding over in death. Kagome began to cry, the tears running down her face. She knew what she had to do. Her miko powers began to dance around her body. Pink being chased by blue all flowed around the glowing Kagome. Her hair began to float in the air, her voice become commanding and ancient. "We are the souls of the Shikon No Tama. Each one of us will give one of you a wish. Miroku what is your wish?" As she spoke a priestess' image wavered over Kagome's body. The group all looked startled, Miroku looked at the demon exterminator and at the injured hanyou. "Mistress, no offense but I have everything I want," Saying this he glanced into Sango's loving eyes. "My wish is for my fallen comrades, I wish that the wolf tribe that was destroy was brought back with no memories of their horrible deaths." The priestess nodded slightly before her image faded into Kagome's once again. A new person came to the surface; she looked like a small child but had an incredible amount of power about her. "Mistress Sango what is your wish?" Her voice sounded like a chiming of a small silver bell. Sango looked at the small child before glancing at her brother who was slightly to her left. He was seriously wounded but not dead. Tears began to fall as she remembered the cold calculating eyes that had once held a love for life. Shaking her head she turned to look at the wavering form. "I wish that my brother and the hanyou Inuyasha were completely healed of their wounds and that my brother never remembers the evil he did." The child giggled, she was happy to complete this wish. Her image began to fade. Inuyasha jumped up glancing around him. "What the hell is going on? Where's Naraku?" His questions stopped as he stared at Kagome. "What the hell is Kagome doing?" "You must be the hanyou Inuyasha." A deep voice rang out. Inuyasha glanced around for the source of the voice. His eyes widened as he glanced at Kagome. The image of an ancient monk covered Kagome's own. The monk looked almost exactly like Miroku. Sango looked from Miroku to the monk her shock evident from her widened eyes and her stuttering. The monk just laughed glancing at his descendent he smiled and winked. Glancing at Inuyasha his smiling face sobered almost instantly. "What is it that you wish for Inuyasha?" Inuyasha looked first at Kagome then at his friends, he knew his decision would not be accepted easily. "I wish for the dead miko Kikyo to be returned to life and for her to have her soul back." Sango and Miroku jumped up protesting this act. "You idiot do you realize that will kill Kagome?" Sango looked ready to attack when Midoriko's voice separated them. "Enough! Kagome will not be killed because she is not Kikyo's reincarnation she is mine. I thought you of all people, Sango, would have realized that. The jewel was born from my body; the jewel came from Kagome's body." Sango looked sheepish as she attempted to answer the great Midoriko. "That thought did come to my mind but I thought that it was because Kikyo was burned with the shikon jewel, you can't deny that they look remarkably alike." Midoriko looked amuse by her answer while the rest of the group looked startled at her response. "That was my doing. I decide it was best for Kagome to not look like me. Many demons still remember my face and will kill any who resemble me. Kagome needed to be safe so she could complete her task." Inuyasha and Miroku looked in awe at the wavering form of Kagome. She was stronger then Inuyasha gave her credit for. Sango looked in respect at Midoriko. "All three of you have been granted your wishes the fourth and final wish is for Kagome to make." As she spoke the three entities faded back into the Shikon jewel. Kagome's powers faded into herself as she slumped onto the ground. Sango ran to her fallen friend trying to wake her. Miroku was helping Kohaku into a sitting position. Kagome awoke and the first thing she noticed was that Inuyasha was running to Kikyo who was looking startled at her now fully human hands. Kagome could feel her heart breaking at the sight of them embracing…

"Kagome. Hello? Earth to Kagome?" Kagome snapped back to reality as Botan began shake her. Kagome's powers flared up, she was unaware of her surroundings and succeeded in knocking Botan out. "Crap! Botan I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to." She ran to the unconscious reaper. Placing her hands on either side of the girls face she allowed her power to flow into the reaper's body. Botan's body began to glow a pinkish green. The rest of the group just stared in amazement. They had never felt such power before. Kagome lightly tapped Botan's face to wake her up. "Ugh, remind me never to play with traffic again. I feel like I got hit by a tractor trailer." Botan grumbled as she shakily got to her feet. "I am so sorry Botan you startled me. I didn't mean to hurt you." Kagome apologized profusely. "Just remind me never to startle you again. What were you thinking about? Your power was swirling around you and pulsing. It was really awesome but I decide to get your attention before you accidentally hurt someone." As Botan was talking she was wildly flailing her arms and she accidentally smacked Yusuke in the head. "Damn that hurt. Could we just begin the training before anyone else gets hurt." He muttered angrily. Genkai watched in amusement as her students bickered, she decided to stop this senseless arguing before someone was seriously injured. "Enough you insolent children. We have no more time to waste bickering among ourselves." Hiei glared at Genkai at being called an insolent child. Genkai just glared back. "Yukina and Keiko will spare together working on their hand to hand combat, Botan you will spare with Kuwabara after you rest for a few, Yusuke, you and will face Hiei." As Yusuke muttered something about already beating Hiei once before, Genkai glared at him, "Don't let your cocky attitude get the better of you." "Shut up you old hag." Yusuke shouted at her. She shook her head before turning to Kagome, "Your son will be training with Kurama. He will teach him all that he can about kitsune magic. As for you, I would like to know the extent of your full power. Will you show me?" Kagome looked at Genkai and slowly nodded.

By now everyone had started to spar with each other. The sound of swords clashing and the flaring of spirit power nearly overwhelmed Kagome. She glanced at her son, her pride and joy, she smile when she saw that the red-headed boy showed Shippo how to manipulate the energy that flowed through the plants and in nature itself. Sighing she placed her hands together before releasing her powers. As she slowly brought her hands apart, she created a barrier to protect the nearby demons from her miko energy. The group stopped sparring to look at the barrier. They could feel an incredible amount of power being contained within. The barrier itself was pink but green and blue swirls of power seemingly chased each other around in a circular pattern. Yukina and Keiko were so shocked they crashed ungracefully onto the ground. Botan wasn't surprised she had already felt the mike's powers earlier. Kuwabara on the other hand, was standing there in slack jawed amazement. Yusuke and Hiei had just glanced up from their fight, surprise flickered briefly in their eyes before they returned to the fight at hand, neither willing to give an inch to the other. Kurama was so startled by the sudden increase in power that he unconsciously allowed Youko to get out. Youko stared in amazement at the powerful girl inside the barrier; her power swirled around her causing her hair to fly wildly behind her. He was so involved in the vision of the powerful girl that he didn't feel the kit on his shoulder playing with his ears. "I told you my mommy was powerful." The young kit exclaimed the pride evident in his voice. Kurama turned away from the sight and proceeded to teach the young kitsune all about the magic in nature.

Kagome placed her hands together briefly before separating them. Green, pink, and blue swirled around the globe between her hands. She widened the gap causing the tiny globe to expand around her. When the globe was surrounding both Kagome and Genkai she solidified it making a barrier. As soon as the barrier was solid Kagome released her full power. The air inside the barrier began to swirl around Kagome's body, which had begun to glow a light blue. Her eyes when she opened them to look at Genkai were filled with a dark pink glow, which leaked out the side and floated into the wind. Genkai was impressed to say the least but she knew Kagome was holding back. "This is a nice show and all but I asked you to show me your true power." She stated calmly to the miko. Kagome just looked at the pink haired lady. She nodded slightly to the demand. Her power began to pulse as she called on the Shikon No Tama. She had not made a wish on the jewel that is why it still resides inside her body. The increase in the power caused the little pebbles to glow green before swirling around Kagome's body. Her power was twenty times more powerful then Toguro's power. Genkai was impressed; here was someone to give the idiot Yusuke a run for his money. "That will do." Was all she said to Kagome. Kagome began to relax, bringing her powers back into jewel and herself. As soon as she was done she started to bring her hands together in a very prayer-like manner. The barrier began to dissolve before becoming a tiny globe once more. As soon as her hands touched there was a small flash of pink and the little globe was gone. Genkai stared at her student. "What training do you have with weapons?" She snapped to the startled Kagome. "Well…um…I can shoot a bow and arrow, and well that's all really." Genkai shook her head slightly. This girl needs training and fast. I sense an evil approaching and it's after her. She looked over at her other students. Yukina, Botan, Keiko and Kuwabara were staring at Kagome in awe while Kurama and Shippo were making vines wrap around trees and rocks. Yusuke and Hiei were still sparring, neither faring better then the other. Yusuke had several cuts all over his body from Hiei's katana blade, and Hiei looked like he had been shot with the spirit gun several times, but neither was willing to give up. "Yukina, Botan, Keiko and Kuwabara get to work. If you don't I will begin to train you all personally. Yusuke, Hiei enough. I have a different task for you. Besides Hiei would win if he was truly fighting you" At this comment Yusuke spoke up, "What do you know ya old hag?" Genkai chose to ignore this comment and turned to Kagome. Never once turning from Kagome she spoke to the boys, who were standing directly behind her. Yusuke, you will train Kagome on hand-to-hand combat, Hiei, you will train her on sword fighting and on her speed. I will work with you personally to see that you get your powers under control and on the basic defenses. Yusuke, you begin. Hiei when he is done you take over. After that Kagome come see me." Kagome slightly nodded, Hiei just said "Hn." Yusuke glanced at his teacher wondering why Kagome wasn't going to have a break. He knew she liked to push people but this was going to far. He didn't realize that Genkai wanted Kagome to be worn out when she began her real training. A sudden power flare up might hurt anyone of the group maybe even kill him or her if they just happened to be a demon. All Genkai did was glare at Yusuke daring him to speak. He just looked away and proceeded to lead Kagome to an empty spot in the yard. Hiei took to the trees to wait his turn with the powerful miko. It was seven in the morning and Kagome's training had just gotten started.

I plan on making this a Kagome/Hiei story due to both InuKitsuneMiko and baka kitsune's requests. There might be a lemon later not sure. Inuyasha and Kikyo are going to be appearing later on and Kikyo isn't evil no really she's good now. I'm thinking about bringing Sango to the future because Miroku died or something. Please review. Thank you.
