Chapter 4: Training

`Well I made it! That was surprising. Grams sure has a since of humor! Who would have known that clicking my heals would have transported me to her cave.' Kagome thought to herself shaking her head. Not knowing what was is store for her next. First, she finds out that her whole life had been a lie, then she goes through some major changes and finally she is told by some long lost grandmother go to a random cave out in the middle of nowhere….alone, `Wait a minuet I have seen this movie before, the white girl usually gets it.' She lets out a sigh thinking about the last horror movie that she was forced to see. `What a weird 18th Birthday! Why couldn't I just be like a normal girl and just go out dancing? That would just be too simple wouldn't it?'

“Actually yes it would considering that you are the heir to myself. There are many wondrous things awaiting you my dear.” Arcangel said coming out of the shadows, followed by a small embrace.

“How did you know what I was thinking?” Kagome asked a little worried that no thought would ever be sacred.

“Telepathy dear, I am sure that one day you will have that ability too. Speaking of abilities we will start your training first thing in the morning. We only have a week and then the real fun begins.” Arcangel said clasping her hands together and putting on an eerily gleeful smile.

“Training, for what?” Kagome said furrowing her brow and crossing her arms in front of her.

“Yes training. You must at least learn the basics of combat. Now that you are an angel many will seek out your power and if you can't defend yourself then great travesties will befall you.” Arcangel said pointing a finger in the air while she explained. “But, we'll discuss that tomorrow. Right not I am sure that you are famished and are in need for some R&R (Rest and Relaxation). I will show you to your room and all that you need will be provided.”

Kagome stared at her for a moment wondering if anything this flighty woman in front of her had any merit. `Well I guess it wouldn't hurt to get some training in. InuYasha is always complaining about how weak and useless I am.' With a sigh and the nod of her head she accepted the inevitable, “I guess you are right. And rest does sound really good considering the roller coaster I have been on lately.”

So Kagome followed her `Grams' to her aforementioned living quarters. Apparently the cave was something like a hidden mansion. Once you passed the rocky entrance there was a grandiose parlor that led into many catacombs, assuming that they lead to kitchens, bathrooms and other places of engagement. After following Arcangel for a while they reached what seemed to be a fairly large room. When the door opened they revealed a stunning living quarter. The bed was large enough for 5 people and from the look it was very soft. It was covered with sky blue silk sheets and there were pillows galore. The bed had four posters and a canopy to add romanticism to the room. The floor was a deep grey marble and a few animal pelts were strewn about to be as rugs. There was a night stand with a rather simple oil lamp next to the bed and across the room was a dresser. She really hoped that there were some suitable clothes in there considering her boobs were about to fall out.

Then finally in the far corner of the room was a make shift bathing room. Which in her mind was all she needed at the moment; after the transformation she was dieing to rinse off the aloe (which was now beginning to itch), sweat and grime. Glee marked her face as she examined every corner of the room. `Thanks-you God's! I have not had a decent bath in the Feudal Era since I began my travels.'

Arcangel was rather pleased that her granddaughter liked her quarters, which was a good thing considering it would soon be known as her home away from home. Sure, she would visit the future and Kaede's Village, but, Arcangel knew that Kagome would find a safe haven with in the cave. With those thoughts, she closed the door, left her granddaughter to her own devices, and returned to her room, which was remarkably similar to Kagome's.

"So, did the little mistress settle in well?" Came a snotty sounding male voice from the corner of the room.

"Yes, So-Crates I think that she is coming to like her new quarters. She has also proven to be more amusing than with a bird brain like you." Arcangel addressed what seemed to be a bald eagle. “I wonder what I was thinking when I took you in, you're no fun at all.” Arcangel supplied while she crossed the room to lie on her bed.

"How many times do I have to tell you that my name is Socrates? I am an intelligent creature, and calling me such things is an insult to said intelligence." The rather large bird

replied. (I am visioning the voice of Zazu from the Lion King for him).

"Well at this point I really don't care...So-Crates. There are much more important things that I have to attend to." Arcangel replied with a playful tone, all the while mimicking Socrates talking with her hand.

"And what would those arrangements be Madame?" The overgrown bird asked with an arched eyebrow. If he could cross his arms he would. `Really the woman could be infuriating. She can act like a five year old sometimes.'

"The courting of my dear granddaughter. She must choose a mate by the next full moon to ensure the survival of my bloodline. There are only two candidates, well only two acceptable candidates anyway." She said clasping her hands together with stars in her eyes.

"Madam, I do believe that you are confusing yourself with cupid; need I remind you that you are an angel of malice and not some love infatuated fool." Socrates replied with a snarky tone voice.

"Oh pish-posh! I want you to alert the staff and have them prepare the guest rooms; make sure two of them are beside of Kagome's. I am sure that the two gentlemen that are courting my granddaughter would like to be close to her... in every way possible. And I do mean everyway possible." Arcangel said, with what looked that could only belong to a hentai.

"May I inquire as to who the two lucky gentlemen are? Madam?" Socrates asked, wondering who he would have to act buddy-buddy with in the coming week.

"Well, I suppose it will be okay to tell you since you are going to be the one that delivers the invitations.... Bachelor number one is the prince of the wolf demon tribe and son to the Lord of the East. I believe that his name is Koga. And Bachelor number two is the youngest son of the Lord of the West. His name is InuYasha. I believe that those two would make fine suitors and sons in law." She said matter of factly. Mentally ticking off all of their fine qualities. `Yes either of them would do as a member of the family. If I remember right the wolf prince can be quite caring and kind to his pack. And I do believe that wolf's tend to be quite enjoyable in the sack.' An evil cat-like look appeared on her face. `Oh yes and I defiantly can't forget the bedroom prowess of the InuTashio line. It gets me wet just thinking about that demon.' After returning from hentai land Arcangel let out a sigh, knowing what was coming.

"Isn't the youngest son of InuTashio a half-breed? Are you sure that he would be a good match for your one and only heir?" Socrates questioned in a defiance tone.

"Yes, he would be perfect. I have had a close eye on him for a while now and is a fine choice. He has even managed to destroy a few enemies that his father could not defeat. So I have no doubt in my mind that he would be a fine mate and protector for my little angel." Arcangel said with rough voice and a little tick in her eyebrow. "One more thing...you will be inviting the present lord of the west to my home around the same time. I must find out if InuTashio's eldest son is worthy of the title and a few other things."

"As you wish madam. I will begin the preperaitons in the morning. I assume that the Lord will be staying with you during his visit," She nodded her head in the affirmative position. "Right away." Socrates gave his mistress a small salute and began to leave the room. 'Sometimes my mistress is such a twit. She really needs to get over her infatuation with Inu-yokai.' He thought to himself.

"I herd that! You insufferable bird. You would do well not to think when you are around me, that is unless of course you want to end up on a rotisserie and spit." She said with venom in her voice. All Socrates could do is nod his head, "Good, now leave me. I have some plans to make and I might possibly redecorate the room. I wonder if Sesshomaru like the color red."

*************************************************************

*~ In Kagome's Room~*

'Oh, my gods this bedroom is wonderful! I wonder if the bathroom is just as wonderful.' Kagome thought as she made her way to the bathroom. When she opened the door, she saw a moderate sized hot spring, with a seating capacity of about three. There was also a small sky light in the ceiling allowing a fair amount of light to the room. On the edge of the personal spring, were what seemed to be four different types of liquid soaps; she assumed that two of the soaps were for her hair, one for her body, but had no clue what the fourth was for; therefore, she picked it up and read the inscription: Lavender for wings.

`Well that makes since. I guess I had better take advantage of this while I have the chance. I am sure that Grams is going to put me through hell to turn out the perfect little angel warrior.' She let out a sigh, `I sure hope that it's worth it. Maybe InuYasha will think better of me. See me as something other than a copy of Kikyo.' Kagome thought as she relaxed in the hot spring.

*~The next Morning~*

The morning was an unwanted event. Kagome was known for not being a morning person, so she just decided to shut her eyes and see if she could get away with sleeping in. Well little, know to her, she was going to get a rude awakening. There was a "loving grandmother" behind her door with a bucket of cold water if things were to turn ugly.

'I can't believe that she is still in bed. I could have sworn that I told her we were starting training early today. I swear you would think that she is the blonde and not myself; oh well better get this over with, we need to get this show on the road.' Arcangel thought to herself as she burst through her granddaughter's door, or rather bust down the door. "Rise and shine. You have slept through have the morning."

"What are you talking about, it is only (glances down at her watch) 9 o'clock in the morning." Kagome said with a groan. Trying desperately to burrow under the covers of the ridiculously comfortable bed.

"That is exactly my point. Do you plan on staying in bed all day?" Arcangel said as she pulled down the sheets.

"I had planned on it!" Kagome replied trying to reach of the missing covers.

"Alright I am giving you to the count of three to get out of that bed and proceed to get dressed." Arcangel said lifting the bucket, getting ready to throw ice cold water on an unsuspecting Kagome at any given moment. "One... (Still not out of bed)...Two... (Not even trying to get out of bed)...Three! Alright you asked for it."

Once the ice cold water hit the said unsuspecting Kagome, she sprang out of bed ready to rip of the head of the person or persons that dare ruin her beauty sleep. Her hair was everywhere, her so-called sleeping clothes were disheveled and her wings were not cooperating; considering one was covering her face and the other was folded behind her back. 'God I really need to get used to things. Wait aren't I supposed to start training today?'

"So my dear are you awake now? I am going to give you ten minuets to get dressed and if you are not I am going to drag you out in whatever you are in to begin your training." Arcangel said with a bit of amusement in her voice.

"Yeah, Yeah. Yeah. I am a wake, just give me a second." Kagome said finally giving up on a losing battle. Rummaging through dresser and closet trying to find something to wear. The only clothing that seemed to be available were what looked to be metal bras, guessing that they were some sort of armor; and skirts that had long slits up the inner thighs or sarongs. "What are you trying to do? Make me the spitting image of you?" Kagome asked looking at her only clothing options.

"What is wrong with the clothes that I have provided for you? It's not like you can have a lot of things to choose from considering your wings, you know." Arcangel said sweetly. "Besides what is wrong with the way I dress? I think that I look rather nice.” She let out a sigh when she saw the look of disapproval when it came to her fashion sense. “Oh well no since in arguing about it now we have training to do."

"Well they are just a little provocative, but, I guess that I have no choice." Kagome said getting dressed in a silver bra and purple sarong. "Okay, I am ready, lead the way."

*~Training Room ~*

"Wow this is an amazing room." Kagome stated in awe; not noticing the woman behind her getting into a fighting stance.

"Defend yourself." Arcangel declared as she charged toward her unsuspecting granddaughter. Kagome had just barley enough time to duck from the fist that was heading toward her face.

"Have you gone insane? You just don't attack someone without letting them know about it." She said still trying to recover from the shock to her system. `What is she trying to do kill me?'

"Do you honestly think that a demon or enemy will tell you they are about to attack?” Kagome nodded her head from left to right clearly realizing her faux pas. “I didn't think so; now let's see what you got!" Arcangel said with excitement in her voice. "Come at me."

The two trained for one week straight. It was relentless and intense. They studied hand-to-hand combat, hand to weapon combat, weapon to weapon combat, cloaking, being able to fly and use winds during combat. They tried telepathy, but they discovered that she was capable of telekinesis, and other special maneuvers. There was only one final step to their training, well it might not really be considered training, but, it was something that Kagome needed, and that was choosing a primary weapon. So on their final day Arcangel lead her granddaughter to the weaponry room.

"Choose any weapon, any weapon at all. Make sure you choose well though because the weapon that you choose will be with you for life." Arcangel said cryptically. “The weapon you choose has to feel like an extension of yourself. Search for it with your heard and soul, not with your eyes.”

"Any weapon I want? Are you sure?" Kagome asked looking around the room in awe. The room seemed to have weapons of every type. Swords, bows, sickles, staffs, any thing you can think off or even name was present.

"Yes, dear any weapon you want." Arcangel said with a chuckle.

"Okay." Kagome replied and began to inspect the room. She was about to reach for a bow when she felt this strange pulsing sensation from the back of the room. She began to walk toward it to see what looked like a Medieval Sword. It had a crystal at the end of the hilt and the handle was sculpted in a spiral design. The rest of the hilt extended into points just before the blade. The blade itself seemed to be made of an impervious metal and had some sort of illegible script on it.

It felt as though the sword called to her so she picked it up. Once it was in her hand, the sword stilled its pulsating and calmed. 'That was weird. I have only seen swords react like that to InuYasha and Sesshomaru. Does that mean that this sword was made for me or that it wants me to use it or both? My life just keeps getting weirder and weirder.' Kagome thought to herself.

"That's a good choice. That sword in particular did not want me to wield it, but I knew that it held some purpose. I found in the tallest peak of the Himalayas nestled in a hidden cave. I had it researched; apparently, it is called the Sword of Light and only behaves for true owner. I am glad to know that it is you though, it is very special. The blade emits electrical charges, almost as if the blade its self was made from lightning. Not to mention the damn thing is ornery as hell. It would shock me every time that I touched it or anyone else for that matter." Arcangel said informatively seemingly scowling at the sword and rubbing her hand at the memory.

After letting out a small giggle at her `Grams' obvious displeasure for the sword asked a question, "You mean this sword chose me to be it's master? Why me, I am no one special!" Kagome said pointing a finger at herself questionably.

"Well I am not quite sure why,” Arcangel paused as if looking for a profound reason the sword had chosen Kagome, “but, I am sure it has something to do with being related to someone as wonderful as myself. HAHAHAHAHA!" Arcangel replied with a bimbetic (My own original word, a derivative of bimbo) laugh.

'Why is my grandmother such a bimbo, oh well gotta' love her.' Kagome thought as she sweat dropped and with a laugh as she strapped her newfound weapon to her back. Just thinking of how the sword reacted to her made her think of InuYasha. 'I wonder how he reacted when he found out that I wasn't there. I am sure he was miffed!' She laughed again thinking about what he would do. She sure did miss having him around, but, the real question was: Did he miss her? Moreover, if he did was it because he missed her or his shard detector. She sighed, 'It is probably the latter.'

*~ Kaede's Village, Right after Kagome's Departure~*

"Where is Kagome?" InuYasha asked Sango practically breathing down her neck. Kagome was screaming and writing in pain the night before and now like some fucking miracle she was gone. `What the shit?'

"Well she had some family business to attend to." Sango said with a hesitant sigh. `If he knew what she was doing and what she was doing it with he would have kittens.'

"You mean to tell me that after being unconscious for three days, she just got up and left out of the blue? I'm not buyin' it. Where is she Sango?" InuYasha asked again slowly getting more agitated. `If this woman doesn't start answering my questions and soon the shit is really going to start flying.'

"I told you she had some family business to attend to." Sango said trying to look for an exit. Anything to get away from the fuming hanyou. She thought for a minuet that she saw smoke coming out of his ears, but, dismissed it just as fast as she thought it.

"Okay, what kind of family business did she have to 'attend' to?" InuYasha asked grinding his teeth in attempt to rein in his temper.

"Well she made me promise not to tell, but, I can see that you are really worried about her..." Sango started, hesitated and looked down at her feet. `Should I really tell him?'

"I'm waiting." InuYasha chimed in tapping his foot impatiently on the ground.

`Well I guess I don't have a choice now.' With a sigh she began to speak, "She is somewhere in the west training with her grandmother, for a week, in this time." Sango said slowly with her eyes closed, not wanting to look at how the hanyou took the news.

"WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!"
