I worked for an hour teaching them how to hold the Kuni and how to throw it and I had given them four to throw I made targets on two trees and let them.
"You know they won't get anywhere like this," Inuyasha said.
Both Shippo and Rin were gathering their Kunis and my eye landed on him he looked at me.
"You to ignore him." I said turning away from him and throw a Kuni hitting right above his head right in between his ears. A yelp came from his way while everyone but Kykio laughed. "Back to work." I said to them and turned to look at Inuyasha a warning then back to my kids. "Shippo snap the wrist Rin stop thinking the steps and just do it." I said to them I looked at my watch. "Sesshomaru do you want to get moving and make some headway back to your casket or stop for the day?" I asked. He growled and got up. "Ok, you two get your Kuni, and let's go." I said. "Also these are yours." I said scooping up the two bags one pink one blue. "You can guess who's is who's now keep these on you at all times when we aren't training or eating." I said as the put the packs on. I nodded and went and put my bags away and said my goodbyes to Sango and Miroku. We set off we walked for a week me training the kids with what seems like meaningless tacks and actions showing them the basics of Karate till we got to Sesshomaru's palace we were greeted by a wolf and a coyote. A growl from Sesshomaru had them out of their bows and upright.
"M'lord." Both said and a Second growl. "Jacken take the kids and Ah-Uhn into the palace and get them some lunch." He said translating for us
"Yes, M'Lord." He said and took the kids and Ah-Uhn inside the stone walls before us. My eyes shifted from the kids to the two newcomers.
"So what happened to the priestess and who is this beauty?" The wolf asked
"Look I already have one wolf out to get my hand I do not need a second and I am that priestess just I never was a priestess I am simple me." I said as my hand glowed pink. "Just because I have this doesn't make me the same as my souls' former form." I said killing the glow.
"I wasn't talking to you wo..." my fist met his jaw.
"MEN I SWEAR YOU'RE A BUNCH OF EGO MANIACS!" I snap as he steps back holding his jaw and Sesshomaru growled.
"He says do not say something like that when not all men are." The Coyote said. "So you have spiritual powers but you will not call yourself a priestess and you have abnormal strength for a human so tell me, young lady, what is your name?"
"Kagome." I said
"I am Tyral and the wolf is Diachi please forgive him he's not very accustomed to human culture." I shrugged
"I'm not from the human culture here I'm from someplace far away from here and trust me the majority of humans males are like your friend." I said then turned to him than I actually saw him. "You know you and Kogua from the easter wolf tribe look a lot alike." I said tilting my head to the left.
"You know my brother?" He said eyes wide. "But how I was told the pack was slain."
"Koga, Ginta, and Hakkuka survived there hunting for Naraku and my god is Koga dence I do not want to be his mate but he can not seem to get that through his head."
"My brother is alive." He said still in shock.
"Is he ok?" I asked the other two.
"He will be." Tyral said looking at me "So Miss Kagome what please do not take advice but can you read since your culture is different from here."
"Yes, I can read quite avidly actually." I said he nodded.
"Well then come I do believe the services have lunch ready for everyone if you would like to join us, M'Lord." He said to Sesshomaru who nodded and lead the way. "So tell me do all women dress like this?" He asked. "I see Rin was also wearing similar clothing."
"No not all women and yes she was I have adopted Rin and am in the middle of training her and her brother Shippo the little fox how to fight I can't teach him his magic but I can teach him what I know." I said walking beside him leaving Daichi behind.
"I see." He said. "Then you have also adopted the kit." He said.
"Yup." I said calmly.
"So you a human have taken in and are now raising a demon child." He said.
"Is it that hard to comprehend?" I asked.
"Yes." He said. He looked at me. "What are you teaching them?"
"Well all the martial arts I know Reading, Write, English, Mathematics, how to weal different weapons."
"English?" Daichi asked now standing at me right.
"Yes, English is a language."
"Where from?"
"Well if you go to the continent and go past china and go till you come to a huge mountain range beyond that is where it from one of my oldest friend is from there her accent is so thick at times if I didn't know English I would be able to understand her." A growl came from in front of us.
"One of our old 'Battle Buddies'?" Tyral translated.
"Yup."
"Battle bubby what does that mean?" Daichi asked.
"Well it's someone you go into battle with normally it's a war now we never fought in a war ... well not a war that people think of but we still fought one."
"What do you mean?" All three asked well I'm guessing cause he growed.
"Well Me, Yuki, and Maddy held the top three titles of street fighters and all three of us are female, and trust me when I say half of the male street fighters hated us for that so they attacked us every chance they got."
Another growl came from Sesshomaru. "He says you said all street fighters half nicknames what are theirs?" Tyral said.
"Maddy is Red Fox and Yuki is know as the Golden Goddess."
"Why and what is yours?" Tyral asked.
"well, Maddy is called so because of her fiery red hair and how she fights she's tricky and crafty and conning. Now Yuki is called the golden goddess because of an old legend from where Maddy comes from you see legend goes there is this warrior Goddess who started out human but using her whips she challenged and defeated a god granting her a place as a goddess her hair was golden and trust me if that goddess had a daughter it would be Yuki." I said the last part in a flat tone. "The blond has at least four whips on her at all times and can use them better than anyone I have ever met including me weapon's sensei!" I said shaking my head. "Now I have two nicknames my enemies call me the black demon and my friends call me the Midnight Raven."
"Midnight Raven?"
"Yea I'm not sure where I came up with it." I said with a shrug. "But it works." I said coming to a stop two feet behind Sesshomaru then he turned to me and growled.
"He says to please not punch anyone if they are disrespectful to call them Demon do not start violence and you will sit next to Rin. Also, give your pack to Sakura and she will take it to your room."
"Can I end vioance with violance?" He nodded as I handed it to the demoness. "It's heavy." I said let it go and her hand dropped a good six inches.
"Thank you for the warning Miss." She said and left.
"Ok, I will let them take the first swing." I said with a shrug and he nodded again and we entered the giant dining hall that reminded me very much of Hagwort's dining hall. It was filled with demons and demonesses and Rin waved at us. Sesshomaru walked over to where they were and took his seat two sets from her and Tyral sort of pushed me next to him as they went to his other side I sat next to Rin and Sesshomaru and Shippo on her other side. Sesshomaru gave a look to everyone and they quickly looked away sevents brought platers some with meat some with veggies some with fruits some with bread and cheese and butter. I can easily get to things without meat or upsetting any cooks I eat in in silence while Rin and Shippo chatted then turned to me.
"Mommy, what are we doing today?" She said.
"Humm good question." I said and Sesshomaru growled. making half the room tense.
"He says today you should give them a break from combat training since you and Shippo are new here besides we the four of us." Tyral said pointing at Sesshomaru me Daichi and himself. "Are going to go hunt up scrolls in the library." He said I nodded.
"Ok that makes it simple for me." I said turning back to the kids. "five hundred push ups and sit-ups between now and dinner." I said they both nodded. "After dinner, we will work on some mathematics and writing."
"Ok, Mama." Shippo said which made all the demons but Sesshomaru, Jacken Tyral and Daichi look at him like he's crazy.
"Hey if you lot would so kindly stop staring at my son like he's crazy." I said with heat in my voice but I did as I was asked and I haven't thrown any punches or anything else let them start the fight I will just end it. Now they were looking at me and I looked back at them when a flat look. After a few moments, they all looked away and I went back to eating. Rin and Shippo went back to talking after lunch Sesshomaru had Jacken take the kids' out to the garden and they took off. "They are suddenly getting faster." I said smiling as we walked to the library.
"I will agree Rin runs a lot faster than the last time she was here." Tyral said.
"So how are you teaching them combat?"
"Any way I can." I said. "I know nineteen different hand to hand styles and can easily say I'm a master of them to normal stater but compared to my Sencies I'm still a rookie." I said I shook my head as we entered the library and after several hours of reading I leaned back in my chair and covered my eyes with my hand I can speed read like no tomorrow and I have gone through like nine schools and my eye's are starting to go cross.
"You ok?"
"I'm starting to see double it happens when I read too much." I said. "My glasses are in my bag." I said leaning back in my chair and removing my hand looking at them.
"Sakura." Tyral sad and the young coyote stepped out of the shadows.
"Where in your bag would they be?" He asked me.
"There's a small pocket on the back there's a black oval shaped case if you wouldn't mind bringing that to me." I said.
"Of course." She said and she disappeared. I closed my eyes and sighed.
"I swear I read so much I messed my eyes up." I said with a snort.
"How would you do that?" Daichi asked.
"Well, I when I was not training doing schoolwork or fighting I was reading. And compared to this it was tiny print." I said. Sakura reappears with my glasses case and hands it to me. "Thank you." I said she blinked and bowed a look of shock was in her eyes. I opened the case and pulled my glasses out and put them on and went back to reading.
"Those are your glasses?" Tyral asked.
"Yes." I said not looking up as I continued to read. When the library doors were slammed open.
"Let us go." Shippo said. I was up and pushed my glasses up to the top of my head and moving to stand in front of a bear who had both Shippo and Rin by the back of their shirts.
"Please put them down." I said looking up at him and he glared back. "Put my kids down!" I said as my aura started to ripple outward. A hand clamped down on my shoulder and glare at the person behind me. I sigh and relock my aura and look at the bear. He dropped them and they ran to me. "Now mind telling me why you are hailing my kids around by the back of there shirts?" I asked.
"These." He said pulling out the Kuni.
"What were they doing?" I asked taking them from him.
"Attacking each other." I almost started laughing.
"Shippo Rin were you two sparing with your Kuni?" I asked them.
"Yes, Mama." Both said I give the bear a look.
"I'm sorry sir I believe we are having a slite misunderstanding you see I have been teaching them to use this to defended themselves they were simple practicing by sparring with each other." I said and he turned bowed to Sesshomaru and left. "What was that about?" I said turning and giving them both their Kuni's back. "From now on if I'm not with you only spar hand to hand." I said.
"Yes, Mama." They said again. Both were in a foul mood now.
"I don't know about anyone else but I'm getting a headache can we take a break?" Daichi asked from behind me. A growl. "Thank you." He said I looked at my kids.
"How about a story?" I asked them pulling them over to the table and they sat in chairs and I sat in the one I had been in.
"What kind of story?" Rin asked looking at me.
"Any story." I said.
"O how about how you met your battle buddies!" Shippo said
"You want to know how I met Maddy and Yuki?" I asked him.
"Yea!" Both of them said leaning on the table giving this please tell us look.
"Ok well, which one do you want to know?" I asked. "It's two different stories." I said.
"Both."
"Ok well, I met Yuki or the Golden Goddess first so how about her stories."
"Yea!"
