(A/N): I'm blue da bu dee, da bu da-- not really, but now I'm thinking about smurfs. Hey . . . was smurfette . . . the only girl smurf on that show? How in the world . . . .?
Sesshoumaru raises an eyebrow at the scene that greets him as he steps onto the short grass surrounding the exspansive training field. On the edge of the bare center of the field, the female bat youkai stood with the majority of the new recruits behind her. All were dressed in kimono style shirts and knee length pants, once white, now filthy. He knew for a fact they would have to wash them out by hand later, a constant in his general's training. The rest of the recruits were on the field in front of her, in the dirt, dodging disk-shaped blasts of energy she was discharging from her palm. Each recruit was paired up with another, their wrists tied together. He makes his way silently over, pleased then the youkai crowding around the female fall back to create a clear path from him to the youkai. He takes up the place at her side, his superious height painfully obvious. A recruit on the field is hit, a pair of cuts with scorched edges appearing on each of his calfs, he falls into his partner and they both go down, curses flying. Reika makes a disgusted face that was mostly show
"you two, off the field! You're both dead, congradulations big guy you just killed your partner as well as yourself!" She glances up at him, eyes smiling
"Sessshoumaru-sama, to what do I owe the honor of this visit?" she sends a few blasts in the direction of a pair that stop to rest, hit but still standing.
"I am simply viewing the new ranks" he turns back toward the crowd of recruits not on the field, he smirks coldly, eyes scaning the group. Most of them at least attempt to hold his gaze, some try to look invisible "nothing impressive as of yet, however I trust you'll take care of that"
"Of course Sesshoumaru-sama" he can here the amusement in her voice "I'll turn these boys into men" a short laugh "and the girls as well! Alright! Off of the field, you all disgust me! Next group!" Sesshoumaru returns to her side as the groups switch
"You have an estimated time for when this group will join the next level up" she raises both hands, palms out towards the group, starting the exercise
"Not as of yet, some have more potential but they were brought in as a group, a team" she glances up at him for a moment "they'll advance when the weakest link is ready-- however" her voice gains a note of seriousness "we may loose a few" Sesshoumaru nods, there were spies amung the recruits. There's a yell as a recruit falls, the woman tied to him stumbling forward and dislocating his arm
"Get off the field! This group and that! You call yourselves warriors? War is a team effort! if you can't work with one partner how will you work with hundreds!?" one of the healers standing off the side quickly makes her way over to pop the youkai's arm back in place as the pairs come off the feild
"I'd like a written report of recruit progess by the end of the day" she nods shortly
"I'll deliver it myself" she would have a list of the spies by then. With a small nod he turns to leave "goodbye for now Sesshoumaru-sama" he pauses for a second
"yes, for now."

Blocking a staff blow for his head with his own, Kouga used his opponent's momentum to propell him back, aiming his staff for the youkai's ribs where he is blocked. His staff is knocked upward and he hits the ground at the force of a solid blow just below his ribs. He curses inwardly
"Kenta, thank-you" Kouga's father's voice comes from the side of the dojo, the light-haired wolf youkai bows to Kouga, before moving out of the main area "Kouga, stand up" Kouga sends a heated glare in his father's direction, before obeying.
"If you're done embarassing me father?" Kouga averts his gaze at the disappointed look he receives
"that is hardly my intention" Tetsuo makes his way over to his son, his hand coming to rest on the prince's head, he turns his chin up to look him in the eye "My intention is to show you what you don't want to see.You've had your fun and had your pack to run" Kouga flinches inwardly at the statement, he hadn't been able to hold onto his pack or the woman he'd intended to make his mate "It's time for you to be a prince. To take up your studies again and train with Jun-sensei, You'll rule and protect these lands when I pass. You cannot hope to retain your knowledge and strength by memory alone, you must constantly apply your studies and practice your skills, build your strength" Kouga's gaze shifts back to the wooden floor of the dojo.
"of course, you're right father" Tetsuo releases him
"This is a new day son, and your pack's deaths have been avenged, don't linger too long in grief-- many women will cross your path as well and you will find a worthier youkai mate, and if you insist on having a human girl, perhaps when Lord Sesshoumaru's ward is of age. perhaps I shall speak with him" the older youkai turns towards the door "you shall begin the process of continuing our family's legacy tomarrow at sunrise" he glances back at his son, his hand's are clenched into fists "you are dismissed"
"Thank-you father" Kouga storms out of the dojo, the door sliding softly but angrily behind him.

Sighing loudly, Inuyasha unrolls another scroll on youkai polical policy, he glares down at the flowing print grumpily. He sighs again, glancing across the garden at his mate, who sat in instruction with an aging badger youkai. Miroku was receiving some training in how to be a proper 'mate to a lord'. He glares darkly at the youkai, who was really not a fault, before turning back to his reading. Sesshoumaeu had insisted he read the text since the taiyoukai was doing most of Inuyasha's training during their sparing and training sessions. Having some backround on what was being taught before hand would considerably lower confusion and connected to that, loss of concentration. Inuyasha figured that was only half true and his brother enjoyed torturing him. He scowls.
"Inuyasha?" the hanyou jumps, turning towards the voice. He raises a slightly alarmed eyebrow at the nervous looking taijiya
"yeh . . . Sango?" she plays with her fingers unconciously, Inuyasha makes a small 'go on' gesture, she shifts her weight to her right side, then left again before opening her mouth
"Ah, yes, Inuyasha--" she stumbles over words a bit, before she stops to take a deep breath
"I wanted to ask you about something" Inuyasha sets the scroll on the stone bench he'd been working on top of, turning fully towards the taijiya
"Is everything alright?" Inuyasha's brow creases in apprehension. He glances back at Miroku who'd turned to look in their direction, most likely feeling his consern
"No, no nothing like that" Inuyasha turns back "It's . . . about youkai lore" tension is released
"Maybe Sesshoumaru would be better to ask--" Sango shakes her head quickly
"No! I . . .don't really feel comfortable . . . only if you don't know" Inuyasha's brow creases further
"Alright, what do you want to know?" He stuffs his hands into his sleeves
"what exsactly does . . . a human/youkai mating entail?" Sango blushes darkly and Inuyasha can't help but grin. She glares.
