A/N: Show of hands. Who thinks Kagome and Sango will be enemies in this fic? I don't own Inuyasha.
Kagome opened her eyes slowly and looked around. She was in a bed in the large nurses office. She tried to move and stand up, only to find that she was chained to the bed. "Let me out of here!" Kagome yelled, struggling against the metal restraints.
"Calm down, kitten. You're safe." She looked up to see Inuyasha standing behind the small bed, looking down at her. Next to him were Miroku and Sango.
Kagome stuggled even more at the chains. "Inuyasha, let me out of here! That bitch is dead!" Kagome hissed.
Inuyasha just chuckled and used his clawed hands to hold her down. "That 'bitch' just got her ass beaten for you."
Kagome relaxed and looked from Inuyasha to the female panther and back. "What're you talking about?"
"That fight was a set up to make you look good," Sango explained, moving to break the lock holding the chains together.
Kagome's ear flicked and she tilted her head to the side.
"In the demon world, strength and rank are everything," Sango said, answering the unasked question. "Around the school, there are hidden files written by the students that determine the rank and power level of each and every demon that has ever been at this school. The only way to move up in rank and therefore respect, is to defeat someone of higher rank. If you do that, you become their rank." Sango crushed the lock and pulled the chains away from Kagome's body. "My PL or power level is 59%. Yours was 1%. Now it's 60%. Your rank was 0 out of 150 now it's equal to my rank, 29 of 150," Sango took a deep breath at the end of the explanation and watched Kagome stretch on the bed.
"Why didn't I know about this before?" the cat asked, jumping to her feet.
"You didn't know because everyone assumed you were weak. They assumed your strength wouldn't increase," Inuyasha said, rubbing her shoulders lightly. "Now, because you have a PL of over 55 you can enter the Fuedel Tournament."
"What's that?" Kagome asked, purring softly.
"It's a tournament that only demons that have gone to this school can enter, but you need to have a PL of 55 or better," Miroku spoke up.
"Oh." Kagome looked down at the ground nervously. "When is it?"
"Tomorrow," Inuyasha said, smiling.
Kagome spent the rest of the night after that training for the tournament. She spared with Inuyasha for most of the night while wearing a 150 pound vest. By 10 o'clock she fell unconcious from exhaustion and was taken up to her room where she and her mate slept for the rest of the night. She woke up the next day and strapped her ankle, wrist, arm, and vest weights on under her cloths before waking Inuyasha up.
"Time to train!" She purred into his ear.
"Already?" he yawned, stretching.
"Yep!" she said smiling.
"Okey." Inuyasha stood up from the bed and got dressed in his tactical pants, a black tshirt, and a tactical vest. "Kagome?"
"Yeah?" she said with a catlike expression on her face.
"Do you know why I've been training you the entire summer with those weights?" She shook her head slowly. "It's because you normally weigh about eighty pounds," he walked over and grabbed her by the waist with his hands, lifting her up slowly. "Now you weigh something like 400." He placed her down steadily. If you were to ever try fighting without them on, you'd not only be faster than the opponent. They wouldn't be able to see you." Inuyasha explained. Suddenly, he dissappeared and reappeared behind her.
"Is that why you made me wear my weights to school too?"
"Yeah. I wanted to make sure you wouldn't spoil the surprise." She purred as he began lightly nibbling on the pulse point of her neck. He reached in front of her and unbuckled the vest while she wasn't paying attention. Her purring deepened when he moved his attention to the bite mark above her collarbone. He began systematically removing her weights until the only ones had on were the ones on her ankles. She let out a small mew of protest when he moved from behind her and carried the drawer to put the weights away.
The cat demon walked slowly toward him until she was only a few feet away from him and pounced. She was too slow. He quickly closed the drawer and caught her by the waist and lowered her to the ground. She crossed her arms and pouted. "You're no fun!"
"Not now Kitten. Later," he said, releasing her.
Half an Hour later...
"Kagome, remember what I taught you and just don't worry. You're invincible if you refuse to lose," reassured the nervous Kagome as she looked out at the hundreds who had come to compete.
