Chapter 14

Kagome sank her tired muscles into the indoor hot
springs inside the castle. Her muscles had protested
the entire way, but she had been determined to get there. Not only did she feel
the need for a bath, her tired and aching muscles needed to be soaked. Not only
was every muscle in her body was aching, she also had a persistent soreness
between her legs that refused to go away. Just great Kagome. This is what you get for making them wait
for so long. Any more and I�d be paralyzed. Which reminds me.
Where did they go. Last thing I remembered was falling
asleep next to Kurama. Kagome sighed. Maybe
it�s a good thing they aren�t around. I don�t know how much more I could take. Don�t
get her wrong, she enjoyed every minute, every second of it. But even she
needed a rest. She was human after all, and she was determined to enjoy her
bath.

In the meantime, Yusuke was up against Sesshoumaru. It was a
no holds spar. Anything and everything goes. If you get killed, well that was
your fault for getting careless. Kurama had allowed Yusuke to go first, he wanted to see what he would be up against. And Yusuke,
being the ever reckless person that he is, readily agreed. They were moving at
a fast moving pace. Yusuke throwing reckless punches and kicks and was getting
rather annoyed that Sesshoumaru avoided each and every one. Sesshoumaru getting
tired of the detectives recklessness, called upon his poison whip. It was a
whip made directly of poison and proceeded to hack away at the detective.
Yusuke was desperately trying to avoid the whip, but couldn�t manage to avoid
each and every blow. Finally Sesshoumaru succeeded in wrapping the whip around
Yusuke�s neck, successfully killing him with his poison. Kurama was about to
attack Sesshoumaru for killing his friend when Shippou held him back.

�Don�t worry Kit. Your friend will be fine.� He said in
amusement.

�You call this fine? He�s dead.� Kurama asked in surprise.

�Just look.� Shippou demanded.

Sure enough Sesshoumaru unsheathed his Tensaiga
and with one flick Yusuke came up yelling. �WHAT THE HELL
WHAT THAT YOU DUMB DOG!� He yelled recklessly to Sesshoumaru.

�Dumb dog?� Sesshoumaru asked
coldly. �I am not the one who died so easily detective.
You need to plan out your attack more. Strategize. Stop rushing headlong into
situations and think. Or do you want to get your mate killed. Keep on this way
and you will not be able to protect her. At this level, even she can kill you
if she so wished.� Sesshoumaru stated coldly. �Now attack again, but strategize
more.� He commanded.

Yusuke was filled with anger over what Sesshoumaru had just
told him. But followed his advise. He started taking
in his movements more. Started strategizing. This time
he lasted longer. When Sesshoumaru started with his whip again, Yusuke thought
about making his own. If Sesshoumaru could make it out of his poison, why
couldn�t he make one out of his spirit energy. It took
a couple of tries before he actually got it. His new weapon causing Sesshoumaru
to smirk in satisfaction, that this human was actually
thinking for once. Unfortunately, Yusuke would need lessons on how to
successfully handle the whip. After about three or four
flicks Sesshoumaru once again killed him with his poisonous whip.

Sesshoumaru looked upon the body on the floor. He looked up
at Shippou and smirked. �Kit, do you think your mother will mind too badly if I
let her mate stay dead?�

Shippou smirked as he pictured an enraged Kagome. �Depends,
do you want to be purified? You know she won�t let you off easily. She�d slowly
purify you to death. You always wondered what it would feel like to be
purified. I�m sure she�d be more than willing to show you.�

The conversation was confusing Kurama. He had not been
around them long enough to know that Sesshoumaru actually did have a sense of
humor. True it was quite sadistic at times, but it was there. �Never mind Kit. She�d never forgive me if I made her purify
me. I guess I�ll just have to bring idiot number two back to life.� He said
regretfully, causing Shippou to laugh.

�Idiot number two? Who�s number two.� Shippou asked curiously.

Sesshoumaru had just slashed across Yusuke with his Tensaiga and looked up at Shippou. �Kurama
of course. This one down here is the more idiotic of the two.�
Sesshoumaru stated casually, causing a yell from Yusuke and a raised eyebrow
from Kurama.

�Hey who are you calling an idiot!� He yelled.

�Who�s died twice now in one day.
Besides it did take you idiots over a month to mate Kagome. For it to have
taken so long, you must be idiots.� Sesshoumaru said coldly, while inwardly he
was smirking in amusement.

�Ever heard of patience. I believe
Kagome needed time to know that our feelings are genuine.� Kurama stated
sensibly.

�Yes she did, but you could have just showed her instead of
trying to seduce her every chance you had. Like I said
idiots.� Sesshoumaru just stated, making Shippou laugh.

�Yeah well she did finally mate with us.� Yusuke pointed out
smugly.

�Yes, that is true, after I engineered for you two to
overhear mine and Kagome�s conversation. Think for a change. How is it possible
for me to not notice company. I am an Inu after all. I smell everything.� Sesshoumaru stated.

�My thanks.� Kurama said with a
grin.

Yusuke caught on after a few seconds and grinned as well. �I
owe you.�

�Good now prepare yourself, I�m not
done with you yet. After this, Kurama your next.�
Sesshoumaru stated coldly as he swiftly attacked Yusuke yet again. Killing him half an hour later. It seemed Yusuke had learned
a bit after dieing twice, but still had a ways to go, since he died yet again.

Kagome was bored. She had finally finished her bath and felt
much more relaxed. She still felt a bit sore, but not as much as earlier. I think I�ll go see what the others are
doing.

*Hiei are you busy with Sango right now?* Kagome asked
teasingly.

*Yes, go away.* He said impatiently.

Well there goes my day
with Sango. Hmmm, wonder about the others. With that thought Kagome started
wandering about the palace looking for everyone. The first person she bumped
into was Shizuro.

�Hi Shizuro.�
Kagome said cheerfully.

�Hi Kagome.� Shizuro
said back.

�Are you busy, do you wanna hang
out for a while. I�m bored and don�t know where
everyone else is at.� She said with a pout.

Shizuro looked at Kagome, and
smirked. Hmm. Maybe she�ll spill
something juicy about Lord Hunk. �Sure I have nothing else to do. So Kagome
how long have you known Sesshoumaru?� She asked.

Kagome looked at Shizuro and
noticed something that she had obviously missed before. Shizuro
was interested in Sesshoumaru. �About forever or so it seems. Actually he is
like an older overprotective big brother. I just love him to death, but can be
a bit cold at times. Though you�d never guess it.� She
finished teasingly.

Shizuro smirked at this. �Kagome,
I think you and I are going to be great friends. Now spill, there has to be
something juicy to talk about.�

Kagome tapped her chin trying to think. She then gave Shizuro a considering gaze. �What ever I say will not go
beyond you or me. You may tease or taunt Sesshoumaru, but not in front of
others. Deal. I will not risk my brother�s wrath.� She
threatened. Seeing that Kagome meant business, Shizuro
had no choice but to agree.

While the girls were chatting about Sesshoumaru�s
and his faults, Kurama was literally struggling to stay alive. True, he knew
that even should he die, Sesshoumaru would bring him back to life. But he
remembered what dying felt like and didn�t want to experience it again.

Remarkably Kurama and Sesshoumaru had been sparring for
close to an hour now. Where Kurama was soaked with his own blood and getting
weaker with every minute, Sesshoumaru looked hardly affected. Sure, Sesshoumaru
had some minor scratches here and there, but nothing serious. He was just too
quick for the silver Kitsune. Sesshoumaru was trying to get Kurama to change
forms, he was stronger in the other form, and now that he and Youko were
merging, changing forms should become easier. Although, Sesshoumaru has to
admit to himself that Kurama was impressive. Kurama has a clear sharp mind, and
was quite a strategist. He was enjoying himself immensely. With some more
training he felt that Kurama would finally be able to give him a good workout.

Kurama was studying his opponent. Sesshoumaru�s
fighting style was elegant, yet deadly. He fought with a cold detachment,
observing and categorizing his opponent. He was the deadliest demon Kurama had
ever fought. They had seized fighting hand to hand and were now both using
their whips. Kurama wasn�t sure how much longer his body would last, since Sesshoumaru�s poison was steadily making it way throughout
Kurama�s body.

�I have to say, you are quite good with that whip.� Kurama
complimented while looking for an opening.

�Of course.� Was all Sesshoumaru
would say.

Kurama flicked his whip a several times,
the speed in which he did was amazing. To a normal spectator, you would have
missed even seeing the whip move. Too bad for the Kitsune, Sesshoumaru just as
quickly blocked each and every attack. Finally getting tired of this
Sesshoumaru started leaking poison from his claws and filled the area they were
currently taking up. Kurama quickly passed his hand through his hair to quickly
search for a certain seed. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes on Kurama. He had seen
the absent gesture and knew there was more to it than what it appears to the
eyes. When he saw the seed in his hand, Sesshoumaru now knew for certain where
his rose whip had come from. He cataloged that vital piece of information for
future reference. When Kurama had the seed he was looking for, he quickly
coaxed it to life. The seed became a small evil looking tree. It was black and
twisted with black vines surrounding it. The tree soaked up poison and used it
to sustained it�s life, making it perfect to clear the
air, and make it breathable.

�Amazing, I did not know there were Kitsunes
alive who could summon that tree and survive.� Shippou said in surprise,
surprising Kurama. As far as Kurama knew, no one knew of this brand of tree.
They were practically extinct.

�Indeed. It has been a while since I have seen another
Kitsune wield it. I wonder, does it obey you Kurama, or is it untamable to
you?� Sesshoumaru asked as he let out more of his poison.

�My tree obeys it�s master, Lord
Sesshoumaru. It is answerable only to myself.� Kurama
calmly informed the Dog Demon.

�Interesting. Shippou, it would
seem you have something in common with this Kitsune.� Sesshoumaru said
emotionless, causing Shippou to grin.

�Indeed Sesshoumaru. Can�t wait to fight
the Kit now.� Shippou said with eagerness.

Without a word Sesshoumaru quickly attacked Kurama hitting
him on several vital spots, making sure to stay away from the tree. If the tree
got a hold of his poisonous whip, it would consume it leaving Sesshoumaru open
to attack while he summons another. It would not take not to reform it, but in
the seconds it would take, Kurama may be able to get some good shots in. Causing Sesshoumaru to actually get injured. To Sesshoumaru�s thinking, that was not good. The Dance
between the Kitsune and Dog Demon began again as they each wielded their deadly
whips. Soon Kurama grew too tired and was unable to block a vital attack from
the Demon Lord and his life was ended in that strike. Finally able to relax,
Sesshoumaru let his guard down as he saw the light fade from Kurama�s eyes.

�Well Shippou, it would seem he is much better than we
originally believed. Still not better than his mate.
Kagome would have severely wounded me by now. Though he does
show potential. Shippou, he will need help to
summon his other form. All three forms will need to be trained.� Sesshoumaru
stated calmly, causing Shippou to grin.

�What do you mean three?� Yusuke asked confused. He really
had no idea what was going on.

Shippou decided to explain as Sesshoumaru unsheathed Tensaiga. �Since his merging with Youko is being completed,
Kurama will now have three forms. His human form as you see
him now, his demon form which is Youko, and his fox form. It would be
interesting to see that.�

�Oh, okay.� Yusuke said from his position on the floor. In truth
he was still exhausted. It appears that dying sure does take a lot out of you. Especially since he died three different times. It irked
Yusuke that in the time it took him to die three times, Kurama only died once.
�Hey when are you going to bring him back?� Yusuke demanded.

Sesshoumaru just gave Yusuke a cold glare, making him gulped
in sudden fear. But he still glared back refusing to back away. Sesshoumaru
only smirked at him. Quickly, without warning he cut through Kurama instantly
healing him and bringing him back to life. �Well done fox. You may rest now. I
want to see if your partner�s earlier lessons have yet settled in.�

�Hey, that�s not fair. Why does Kurama get to rest? He only
died once.� He yelled, not wanted to fight just yet.

�Hn. Pathetic. In the hour and a
half I have fought with the fox, he only died once. During that amount of time
I fought you, you died three times. Of the two, you need more improvement.� He said coldly. �Now I will not repeat
myself, prepare yourself.� And quickly charged at Yusuke,
starting the detectives training.

While Yusuke was being pummeled to death Kagome and Shizuro were laughing hysterically over the mischief�s
Kagome and Shippou used to cause. Especially towards the cold
Taiyoukai. As they were laughing they came
upon Keiko. They had been conversing in the library, but quickly got tired of
the room and started heading towards the gardens.

�Hello Kagome, Shizuro.� Keiko
said cheerfully.

�Hey.� Shizuro said while still
laughing over the prank Kagome had told her about.

�Hi Keiko.� Kagome said cheerfully,
still chuckling.

�What�s so funny.� Keiko asked.

�Oh just reminiscing about old times. I was telling Shizuro about some pranks Shippou and I pulled. I�m lucky
to be alive. We�re heading to the gardens right now. Wanna
come?� Kagome asked.

�Sure, but wanna tell me what was
so funny.� Keiko asked.

Kagome gave this a some thought.
�Well okay, why not. I just need your promise that this will go no farther than
us. That is unless you wanna tease Miroku. I believe
I remember quite a few stunts Shippou and I pulled on him.� Kagome grinned.

Not seeing any downside to this Keiko quickly agreed. �okay. No problem.�

As they were walking to the gardens, Kagome started telling Keiko of the prank
they were laughing at. �Well it�s like this. Shippou and I started pulling
pranks soon after the ritual making us mother and son. The only thing we gained
from each other was some personality traits, and intellect. Yes, I was able to
impart some of my wisdom to my son.� Keiko and Shizuro
burst out in laughter after hearing that last part.

�Hey don�t give me that look I did.� Kagome said
defensively. �Well back to the topic, before I was able to gain control over
that new trait, Shippou and I caused a lot of trouble. One in particular
happened after Sesshoumaru joined our group. We had come to his castle for some
research that needed to be done. Don�t quite remember what. Well anyways, we
waited till everyone had gone to sleep. You see Sesshoumaru only allows himself
complete rest when he is secured at his castle. Anyways, I had just been given
some sleeping stones from Kaede. She had been
teaching me some new tricks. Well when we were sure he was asleep Shippou and I
snuck into his room and immediately put the stone over his chest, making sure
that he would not wake up. I had brought some hair paint that you just come
into your hair and it leaves you with streaks of that color. Of course it
washes out, but we didn�t think to tell him of that. We used blue, green,
orange, purple, pink, red, yellow, and black. Well his hair was multicolored.
We waited till his hair had completely dried before we made two thin long
braids framing his face. Oh did I forget to mention that we braided flowers
into those braids. After we were done, we took the stone off his chest and
sneaked out.� Kagome finally finished.

Keiko looked at Kagome in surprise, before she doubled over
in laughter. They had finally made it to the gardens and were about to sit
down, when Keiko beat them to it. She was laughing so hard at the thought of
the cold emotionless lord having his beautiful silver hair ruined and with
flowers. Shizuro just chuckled merrily. She could
just imagine Sesshoumaru like that.

After they finally calmed down, Kagome decided to finish her
story. �Unfortunately for me and Shippou, we had yet to learn how to conceal
our scent. Sesshoumaru immediately knew who the culprit was, and trust me, it
was not a pretty sight.� Kagome shuddered as she remembered the consequences.

�What did he do?� Shizuro asked,
curious. She wanted to what exactly what Sesshoumaru was capable of, when it
concerned those he cared for.

�Well he didn�t immediately notice. You see, he had not
really noticed anything different till Inuyasha opened his big mouth. Sesshoumaru
had come down to breakfast and had just asked me and Shippou why we were in his
rooms, when Inuyasha immediately started laughing and pointing at him. Miroku,
Sango, and Rin had already noticed but were trying
not to laugh. They didn�t want to cause trouble for me and Shippou. As long as
it wasn�t them, they covered for us. Inuyasha on the other hand, held to qualms
on keeping his mouth shut. When Sesshoumaru asked a servant for a mirror, I
swear, Shippou and I were about to run for our lives. He immediately stopped us
with a glare, and gave us extra training that day. It was horrible. I swear he more than made up for that prank. Of course I didn�t tell
him it was washable. You see, while Sesshoumaru will bathe every day, he did
not wash his hair everyday. He walked around with those streaks for about a
week. Of course when he found out that he could have just washed his hair and
be done with it, he demanded why we had not informed him. Shippou of course had
no idea, but I just simply said that he hadn�t asked. We were given more
training that day. But it was worth it.� Kagome said, making Keiko and Shizuro laugh at the thought of an irate Sesshoumaru.

�I take it your punishment was the training.� Keiko stated.

�Well the training itself wasn�t the punishment. It was the
torture in the training that was punishment enough. I swear he has a sadistic
streak. But if it was any of his other soldiers dealing the punishment, he
would send them a death glare and they would be more careful of us. Even though
he is harsher, I prefer Sesshoumaru for my training partner. He makes sure you
learn.� Kagome said wryly.

�Well that�s interesting. So far, he�s been nothing but
gentle. It�s driving me crazy.� Shizuro said.

�Tell him I have pictures of that day, and see how gentle he
is.� Kagome said smartly.

�Pictures?� Shizuro
and Keiko said at the same time.

�Yup. Come on I was traveling
through time. Do you really think I wouldn�t carry a camera.
I have dozens of them. We pulled lots of pranks after all. We even pulled a few
on Miroku.� Kagome grinned evilly at that remembrance.

When Keiko heard Miroku�s name, she perked up. �Really, what
kinds of pranks did you pull on him. Come on spill.� Keiko said energetically.

�Well.� Kagome gave Keiko an interesting gaze. She wondered
how this woman felt about her dear friend. After some quick thinking she
decided, to tell her of one the �punishments� Miroku had to endure because of
his lecherous ways.

�Hmm. I do remember one instance. But I did promise Miroku never to mention it, or show anyone the picture
of that one. Even I have to admit, we did go a bit far.� Kagome said teasingly.

�Now I am
intrigued. What did you do to the monk?� Shizuro
asked, intrigued as to what they could have done to
the monk.

�Well it�s like this. Back them Miroku was very perverted,
lecherous, Monk. You see, whenever Inuyasha was distracted, he would sneak up
on Sango and I during our baths. This time it was Sango, me, and Shippou
bathing in a hot spring. When we heard a noise Sango quickly threw her Hiratsu
and it hit the monk head on. She would have done more damage to him if it
wasn�t for me and my love of dealing out appropriate punishment. You see we
dressed him up in women�s clothing of that time. Instead we made it a bit more
revealing and we also fixed his hair to look more feminine as well as put
make-up on the poor monk. I have to say he made a presentable woman. Not a
beauty by any stretch of the imagination, but somewhat pretty. Even Sango was
disappointed in this. I took some pictures that night.� Keiko and Shizuro began laughing at the Monk being dressed as a
woman.

�I would love to see pictures of that.� Keiko said
humorously.

�As would I.� Shizuro
stated as well.

�Well yeah that would be funny, but that�s not all we did.
You see we made sure Miroku stay in that garb for two whole weeks. You should
have seen how many men propositioned and groped the poor man. I definitely took
pictures of that. He even had several men ask him to bear their children. You
should have seen the scared look on his face when it looked like we weren�t
going to help. But we always did. The poor monk. I
made sure to have pictures of those encounters as well. He never again got in
between our baths. Though he would still grope women, he was more careful about
it as well. Made sure Sango and I weren�t around. But we always heard about it.
Oh those were the good old days.� Kagome sighed at the end.

They girls were still chuckling at the thought of Miroku
dressed as a woman. Suddenly Kagome remembered that she hadn�t seen her mates
all day and it was almost time for dinner. �Hey is it normal for the men to,
you know, stay away from their mates the after the first morning after?� Kagome
asked the girls. She really didn�t have much experience with guys and didn�t
know much about relationships. Being that she was too busy in the past
collecting jewel shards and hunting down Nuraku, and
when she was home she was too busy trying to keep up with her school work.

�Hmm. Now that I think of it. Newly weds are usually
inseparable for the first few days they are together. Don�t tell me Yusuke left
you all alone for the day.� Keiko said threateningly, anger in her voice
because of a thickheaded spirit detective.

�Now that I think of it, it is weird that they haven�t
looked for you as yet. Why don�t we go looking for them.�
Shizuro said to Kagome.

�Hmm. I wonder where they could be anyways. With Inuyasha
gone, I know that Yusuke can�t be training with him. For that matter, where�s
Kurama?� Kagome was confused.

Keiko was the first one to stand up and then encouraged the
other two to hurry up so that they could go mate hunting. �Come on you two, we
won�t find them if we stay here.� And so they went looking for Kagome�s mates
and intent on giving them a lecture as to why they didn�t bother with her that
day.

�You really are a dimwitted slacker.� Sesshoumaru stated
coldly.

�What the hell do you mean by that!�
Yusuke yelled at him.

�Let�s put it this way Detective. We have been sparring for
half an hour, yet I have already killed you four times, and your wounds just
keep getting worse. Are you ready to give up yet?� He taunted Yusuke.

�Shut up. Spirit Gun!� Yusuke
yelled at Sesshoumaru, trying to get a lucky shot at the powerful demon.

Sesshoumaru merely sidestepped the attack and struck
Yusuke�s chest with his claws. Unfortunately, Yusuke was already feeling weak
because of his attack and didn�t move fast enough, so he was killed yet again
by Sesshoumaru.

Unfortunately for Sesshoumaru, and he
would continuously curse his back luck for days to come. Kagome,
accompanied by Keiko and Shizuro, just had to make
their appearance to the dojo, just as he killed off the detective. Keiko and Shizuro were about to attack them, when they were held back
by Shippou and Kurama.

�Sesshoumaru, You better bring my
mate back right now or I swear I will make you regret it.� She demanded. �You
should know better than to kill them off and call it training. You should have
known what would happen if I ever found out you did this to my mates. I may not have been able to
stop you from inflicting this type of training on my son, but by Kami you will
not inflict it on any of my friends. Is that clear.�
She said in an ice cold deadly voice that would have made Sesshoumaru proud,
had it not been directed at him.

Inwardly Sesshoumaru was shaking. Kagome sure is scary. He thought to himself. Outwardly, he was his
same cold self. �Miko if you would seize your infernal nagging I would have
already brought this dimwit back to life. Now quiet.�
He demanded, only succeeding on silence long enough to see that Yusuke was
alive, but before he even had a chance to defend himself he was punched right
in the face, causing him to fly back and crash into a wall.

Yusuke waking up from the dead, only saw as Sesshoumaru flew
into the wall. �What the hell?!� he shouted and started looking around trying
to see who was capable of causing the demon lord that much damage.

Kurama, Keiko, and Shizuro, were
shocked. Kagome, the bright, cheerful, kind, girl they all knew, just punched one
of the most powerful lords of Makai. She not only
punched him, she was able to send him flying.

�Oh no.� Shippou groaned. It seemed
they were going to witness a rare sight indeed. Someone who
was capable of almost beating the Powerful lord. Kagome was probably
still more powerful than either him or Inuyasha. Even with all their training,
they have never come close to beating Sesshoumaru. �Stand back
everyone, it seems Kagome and Sesshoumaru are going to go at it. I just hope
they don�t injure each other too much.� He said to the group. �Kick his ass
Kagome.� He cheered his mother on.

Sesshoumaru was slowly picking himself up, when he heard
Shippou encourage his mother. �Kit who�s side are you
on?� He asked while sending him a death glare.

Shippou gulped at seeing that glare directed on him. �Sorry
Sesshoumaru, but you have to admit, Kagome�s scary when she�s angry.�

Sesshoumaru merely gave a slight nod of his head.
Unfortunately for him, Kagome noticed it. �What do you mean.
I am not scary.� She yelled. Suddenly the room became so quiet you could hear a
pin drop. �Hey thanks a lot you guys.� She pouted, then
sprang to attack Sesshoumaru yet again.

Expecting this, he merely sidestepped bringing his claws up
to make a swipe at Kagome. Kagome ducked down missing his claws and send a
punch to his stomach. Sesshoumaru quickly dodged this and tried yet again to
swipe her with his claws. And so it went for several long intense minutes.
Kurama and Yusuke were in awe. By this time they already, had several wounds,
yet Kagome had none. Of course neither did Sesshoumaru. Kagome then did
something unexpected. She concentrated on her energy, careful to only bring up
her spirit energy to the surface and made a whip. She quickly flicked her whip
ten time and was able to strike Sesshoumaru seven of
those ten. After she finished, she smirked at her handy work. There were
several tears on Sesshoumaru�s clothes, as well as
several shallow cuts. Sesshoumaru looked down upon his person and saw the
damage the Miko had done.

�Miko, I was not aware you could call upon a whip as well.�
He stated impressed. �You were not able to do that when we last trained.�

Kagome smirked at him. �I learned to control my energies Sesshou. Just be glad I did not summon my purification
powers, or you�d already be toast right now.� She taunted at him.

Sesshoumaru merely looked amused and summoned his own
poisonous whip. He then started striking at Kagome with it. She managed to
counter with her own whip. They soon started a deadly dance with their whips.
Seeing as this was getting nowhere, Kagome summoned another whip, this one was
made out of her purification powers. She made sure that this would have enough
power to hurt or wound him, but not enough to kill him. Sesshoumaru merely
raised a brow. He would do the same and summon another whip, but he only had
one arm.

�Sorry Sesshoumaru. But I do have the use of both arms. Though if you like I could heal your arm for you. Though that would have to wait till after you have learned your
lesson.� She taunted.

�What lesson is that?� He asked curious as he again struck
out on her.

Kagome countered each flick of Sesshoumaru�s
whip with her own. Soon she was the one on the offensive as she flicked her
whips continuously and occasionally got in some good hits. As she was on the
offensive, she finally answered Sesshoumaru�s
question. �The lesson is to never mess with my mates without my permission.�
She growled as she pushed on harder. Unfortunately for her, her anger had
gotten the best of her for a second and in that second Sesshoumaru was finally
able to hit her three times with his whip. He got her on her right thigh, her
abdomen, and her left upper arm.

�Miko, did I not teach you to leave emotions out of a
fight.� He stated coolly. He knew that the poison would slowly wear her down.
She never was able to get used to them. Though to his complete surprise, he
watched as her wounds healed instantly before his eyes.

It was Kagome�s time to smirk. �Sesshoumaru, did I not teach you to never underestimate your
opponent.� She stated as well.

�Well it seems you learned more than just your whip.�
Sesshoumaru said approvingly. He suddenly turned and grabbed two swords. One of
them he threw to Kagome. �Now I believe it is time to see how you do with
this.� As soon as Kagome got a hold of her weapon, Sesshoumaru immediately
attack. He did not expect the barrier that immediately raised
to protect her when she was momentarily unfocused. When he made contact with
the barrier, it pushed him several feet back.

Kagome grinned at Sesshoumaru. �That�s what you get for not
waiting till I was prepared.�

Sesshoumaru grinned back, even though he had more injuries
than she, he was truly enjoying himself. It was not often he got a challenge.
�Miko, it appears you have improved in our absence. Tell me who help to train
you?� He asked intrigued.

Kagome, still grinning, simply answered. �Genkai.�

�I always knew she was the strong one.� He said proudly.
�From all of my grandchildren, she is my favorite.� And then started raising
his aura to break down the barrier.

Kagome looked him over carefully, when something suddenly
struck. �You know, now that you mention it. She reminds me of you in some ways.
Did you train her yourself.� She asked as she finally
lowered her barrier. Not because she was getting tired, but because she was
getting bored. Soon all you could hear was the clashes of swords continuously
hitting each other. Kagome and Sesshoumaru were so fast that it was nigh
impossible to see them.

�Actually, she never finished her training. Damn kit
disowned her before she could finish.� Sesshoumaru huffed at her as he finally
was able to make another wound on her, getting on in return. It seemed they
were evenly matched. Both taking and giving wounds from the
other�s sword.

Their dance continued for over an hour, both were slightly
tired. Sesshoumaru a more than Kagome, since he had been
training the idiots all day. Kurama and Yusuke were simply amazed.
Kagome not only was holding her own, but was doing so
much better than they. After today, they would take their training much more
seriously. After the second hour, they were finally wounding down. Kagome had
left some rather vicious wounds on Sesshoumaru with the help of her
purification energies. The wounds she inflected with those energies would take
days to heal while the others would be healed by morning. Her own wounds would
also be healed shortly. She had stopped healing her wounds because it was
starting to take away a part of her concentration. Finally after the second
hour, they both admitted to a tie. Though Sesshoumaru was slightly worse, it
could be attributed to the fact that he had already used up some of his energy
on her mated.

�Sesshy, why don�t we call it a day. I�m hungry, besides I�m sure you will remember not to
kill my mates anymore.� Kagome said sweetly.

Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome, he
saw that though she was slightly tired, she could still keep going. He, on the
other hand was feeling more tired that she was. Also, he finally noticed the
bags under eyes. It seemed the two idiots didn�t give her any rest the night
before. He smirked. No decent rest, and she still was
able to hold her own with him. He respected very few demons, and even less
humans. But the human Miko held his respect as well a place in his heart. She
had somehow made her way into his affections.

�Very well Miko. Though I am impressed.
As tired as you are, you were able to hold your own. Something I cannot say
about your mates. Though the fox is the better of the two.
They both need more training Miko, and I will not go easy on them. I will
refrain from killing them, but I will not go lightly. You remember your
training under me. Theirs will be far worse.� He warned her.

Kagome gave a slight nod of approval. �Very well Sesshy, but I will help in the training. It is not that I
don�t trust you, because I do. But I feel that with both of us training them,
and each other, it will make them improve faster.� She said seriously. �Now lets go to eat, I�m starving.� She said cheerfully, finally
turning towards their audience.

Keiko, Shizuro, Yusuke, and Kurama
were still looking at Kagome in shock. Shippou was looking upon them in
amusement. �Kagome, I must ask, were you going easy on us during our training
sessions.� Kurama asked.

Kagome looked sheepishly. �Um.
Yeah. I would only use partial of my energies with you and Yusuke. With Sesshoumaru though I was able to go full out.�

�So all those times when we came close to beating you, we
actually weren�t even close?� He asked impressed.

�Yup.� Was all Kagome said shocking Yusuke speechless. In fact Yusuke fainted.

�Mate, you have no idea how hot that makes you.� Kurama said
in a low seductive voice as he gathered her into his arms and proceeded to
nuzzle her neck where his mark lay. �Feel free to dominate me anytime.�

Kagome pulled away from him in confusion and studied him.
She looked at him intently for several seconds, making Kurama slightly
uncomfortable. When she finally found what she was looking for she sighed. She
finally knew why Kurama had been acting a bit out of character. �Kurama, we
will need to train you on changing your forms. Till you are able to do so
yourself I will allow you one command on your own necklace. All you have to do
is think or say Youko and you will instantly turn into him.� Kagome told him
and lightly touched the necklace. The necklace vibrated slightly then stilled.

She leaned into him and said very quietly into his ear. �If
you like, we can practice later in our rooms.� She said seductively, sending a
shiver of pleasure down Kurama�s body.

�Your wish is my command.� He replied back just as
seductively.

Yusuke had finally woken up and was feeling woozy. �what the hell happened.� He asked gruffly.

Kagome gave him an amused glare. �You fainted.�

�I did not.� He replied huffily.

�Then what would you call it.� Kagome asked amused.

Yusuke gave this some thought as he stood up. �I lost
consciousness. Yeah that�s it. More manly.� Making Kagome simply roll up her eyes.

�If you say so babe.� Was all Kagome would say, and then
slipped her arms between her mates. She quite happily walked with them back to
the castle to go and eat dinner. They had to keep up their energy. Their night
was not over just yet.
