InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Seeing Through New Eyes ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

Chapter: 3

“Mom…Dad?” Kagome stood wide-eyed at the couple. “What…how…eh?” Kagome couldn't even form a proper sentence, but, how would she be able to? Her real parents were standing right in front of her!

The woman laughed, “Yes, it is us. I am Miako and this is my mate, your father, Toshi. Right now you are dreaming. That is the only way to contact you. We are here because of your powers. We are going to train you in both the ways of a yokai and a miko. You will also learn how to combine both your powers together.”

Even though she didn't know them, Kagome immediately loved and respected them. Kagome walked slowly up to them and bowed. In a very un-Kagome like manner she calmly stated, “Let's begin then.” `Why am I acting so calm?' she asked herself. As if reading her mind, Toshi answered, “Your demon half is naturally calm; your new personality is just starting to come out.”

“Now, let's start your training, shall we?” Miako said cheerfully, the silence was creeping her out. “Now, in dream world we can extend time for as long as we want. One night in reality can be years here. But we don't want to keep you from your other family for too long. So we've decided to make it six months each night. We're not sure how long the training will take, though.

Let me list the schedule. At dawn every day you are to wake up. That's easy though because yokai don't need much sleep. Then you will catch your own breakfast in either the lake or the forest. Then until noon you will practice your yokai training with Toshi. Then you are to have lunch that you again must get yourself. Then from there until sunset you are with me in miko training. Then we all have dinner together to have a resting time. After that you may go to sleep in the hut over there.” She pointed to the hut in the forest.

“Wow, I see you've planned this out.” Kagome was a little overwhelmed. First it was the yokai thing, and then it was meeting her parents, then the schedule. It's a little much for one day.

“I've had centuries to plan it all out. Now go get some sleep. We'll see you in the morning. Toshi and I have a hut in a different area so you won't see us until then.” Miako responded.

Kagome walked to the hut. When she looked inside there wasn't anything out of the ordinary in it. It looked like Lady Kaede's hut. There was a futon in the corner. A window is opposite of it. There is a fire pit in the middle of the room and a few cabinets towards the back.

Kagome walked over to the bed, suddenly exhausted, and lay down. As soon as her face hit the pillow she was dreaming about the days ahead.
