“What are you planning Kikyo?” I asked her as she lead me back to Simouye. She dropped to the floor in a bow. “Simouye-Sensei, Please allow me to help teach Kagome. I have an ideal that might help her.” Simouye thought about it for awhile.

:”You have my permission, just be careful. Try not to injure her too badly.” Kikyo smiled. “But would it really matter, Simouye-Sensei? Your amazing healing abilities exceeds all others.” She laughed and dismissed us.

“Injure me? What was that about, Kikyo?” I hissed at her wondering what exactly she was going to do to me. “Were going to have a battle.” She replied. “A battle? But that’s unfair! I can’t even use my powers.” She turned her head and smiled at me. “Exactly.”

She opened two large doors which lead to a area or dojo styled room. Kikyo got down two bows and handed me a quiver with arrows in it. “I can’t use this! I’ve never used one before.” She sighed at me. “Well you better learn fast or I’m going to kill you.” Fear raced through me. What was happening?

I laughed “Kikyo what are you–“ An arrow whipped passed me, grazing my cheek. A small cut formed on my left cheek, and bleed ran down my face. What was going on? I ran and dodge a next arrow. Many were flying at me.

“Stop running around!” Kikyo screeched. She glowed bright blue and the power I could feel radiating from her. I froze up. It seemed as she transferred her power to the arrow, she released the arrow and it came straight at me.

It was coming closer, my last hope was to summon my powers. I reached for anything and everything inside me and finally I felt it flow through me, burning sensation running throughout my body that needed to be released. I let it go and it burst into a huge explosion.

I was blown way back and knocked unconscious.

O-O-O-O-O

“I told her not to go to hard on her!” I heard someone say. “If we hadn’t heard the big explosion, both of them would have bled to death! My my, the cost to rebuild our humble little dojo might be costly as well.” I could faintly hear the woman sigh. “At least they didn’t die. When they wake up we need to hear what happened.” I heard the door close and both ladies were gone. I just drifted back to sleep.

O-O-O-O-O

“Kagome,” Someone started to shake me. “Wake up! You’ve been asleep for 2 days.” I opened my eyes. “Simouye-Sensei?” He nodded. I slowly got up and joined Kikyo in the other room.

“What happened you two?” I gave Simouye and the other woman a funny look. “Oh yeah, Kagome, this is my sister Sakya. Anyways back to your explanation, girls?” She raised an eyebrow at us.

“I promise to tell you later, Simouye-Sensei. Right now I must speak with Kagome.” Kikyo pleaded with Simouye. The older priestess narrowed her eyes at us. “Very well. But do not be longer than needed.”

Kikyo turned to me. “Come on, lets talk outside.” She saw the fear in my eyes. “Don’t worry I’ll explain my actions earlier and then you’ll understand why I did what I did. Trust me, were friends of course! I don’t wish to kill you ever.”

I finally got up and walked with her outside. “I had said what I did to scare you. Normally powers come out easy under pressure of situations. Like when I threatened your life, you finally obtained the ability to summon your powers, I really had no intent of killing you at all.” She smiled at me. “Though unexpectedly you had to much power and couldn’t control any of it. In which it burst and exploded.” She let out a sour laugh.

“The whole dojo was blown apart or so I heard. Don’t worry about it, I’ll repay for it’s reconstruction. But it doesn’t look like we’ll be doing any weapon training inside. We’ll have to survive in this cold winter. But I suppose that’ll help us be condition for any surrounding, eh?” I wasn’t to sure but totally relieved that Kikyo really didn’t want to kill me,

She gave me a hug. “I sure wish we could rush training and get the jewel back from Makura. I really just didn’t know…” She sat down on the steps and put her head in her hands. “Didn’t know what?” I asked. “She’s supposedly in love with Sesshomaru. Before I met Inuyasha I had always thought Sesshomaru would be mine. Silly, eh?

“But I guess I never say past his hot body. Sesshomaru really isn’t my type. But I guess Makura believes that they were meant to be together. She’s gone to the lengths of working with Naraku I think. Well Makura had no ideal what the jewel did or even existed, and Naraku’s been after it for many many years.”

Kikyo sighed. “If Naraku is in this we’ll have a much harder time. Makura is strong I know that much and Naraku is just as strong. Currently even with Sesshomaru we are probably no match. But if we all train hard we will succeed.”

She gave me a quick hug. “Now let’s go to Simouye, before she thinks we left.”

I could see Kikyo was hurt, Makura had turned on her. It was sad losing a friend, even one who may be as good as evil.

O-O-O-O-O-O

Inuyasha was extremely worried. He had been talking to his brother about Kagome when all of a sudden he just fainted. He was in top health; there was absolutely no reason for this to happen. Was Sess dying? No, he couldn’t be.

The doctors had come out shortly after saying he was just unconscious and nothing was wrong, he’d be up soon. Inuyasha waited outside the door. Not wanting to actually go in, he might suspect that he actually cared for his brother. Feh!

O-O-O-O-O

“So are you sure your fine?” Sesshomaru was annoyed that Inuyasha kept asking the question. There was nothing wrong with him why shouldn’t he be fine? “Yes, I’m perfectly fine! Now back off, at least 25 feet from me.” Sesshomaru growled. “Sir, Makura is here.” Sesshomaru smiled. And Inuyasha’s face darkened.

They went to greet her. “Sesshomaru!” She squealed and hugged him tightly. Inuyasha stood there with his mouth wide open. “Uh, what is going on!?” Inuyasha asked. Didn’t he hate Makura? “What are you talking about Inuyasha? Makura and I have been engaged for years.” Makura lifted her left hand, on it was a shiny piece of the once whole jewel.

“What the hell did you do?!” Inuyasha cried in outrage. Obviously something wasn’t right. “Sesshomaru what about Kagome? You just told me that you were going to ask her out, that you loved her.” He stared at Inuyasha. “Kagome? Who’s that?” Makura just smiled and laughed. “No one, dear.”
