(A/N: Yes people it's a miracle. I finally updated. Or, if you were wondering, I'm not dead... It just took me a very long time to decide to open this document up and start typing. Well, now that I have nothing else to say, you people can start reading now. )

Morning

The Sun's warm golden glow cascaded the horizon, announcing the beginning of sun rise. Kagome stirred at the warm feeling on her skin before bringing a hand up to her face rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Her eyes scanned the room and landed on the pile of cloths, weapons and armour. Slipping out of bed, Kagome stripped of her white sleeping yukata and pulled on a white fighting outfit. It had a light blue snowflake design decorating around the sleeves of the haori and the leg of the hakama and some silver bordering the hem. She strapped down her armour she got from Kai and headed to the counter by her bed. Kagome quickly pulled her hair into a high ponytail with small braids laced throughout it. She quickly strapped all four of her blades to her hip and looked over to her counter. Quickly applying a little silver eye shadow and some gloss, Kagome dashed out of her room and went directly to the dojo.

It took Kagome five minutes to get to the dojo. Carefully, Kagome slid the screen door open to reveal a large room that could have fit ten of Sesshoumaru's true forms. There was also a high roof that allowed a lot of movement. Along the long walls were thousands of weapons ranging from different types to different sizes.

"Hmm… it seems I'm early," Kagome said to no one in particular. She settled herself on the floor against the wall. Resting her eyes, Kagome waited for the arrivals of the other generals. After another few minutes, Kagome felt the aura of Sesshoumaru getting closer to the screen door before hearing the door slide open and reveal the feeling of eyes on her. Unaffected, Kagome kept her eyes close,

"Ohayo, Sesshoumaru-sama,"

"Kagome. Why is it that you prefer to be called Kage?"

"No reason really, I just want to keep a low profile."

"You call being Kaze's second a low profile?" Seeing Kagome shrug off the statement, he started to scan the walls for suitable weapons. After another few minutes another two demons entered into the dojo,

"Sesshoumaru-sama," two melodic voices came from the doorway, one male and one female that resembled the two youkai she was talking to the night prior. Peeking one eye open her suspicions were confirmed, it was Isamu and his mate Arisa.

"Ohayo Isamu-sama, Arisa-sama,"

"Ohayo Kage-sama. You seem a bit tired this morning," the concern laced through Arisa's voice caused a small reassuring smile to appear on Kagome's face.

"I didn't sleep very much last night, that's all. I'll be fine." Just then the other two generals entered the dojo. Kagome abruptly stood up and dusted off her hakama and barely listened to the morning greetings

"Ohayo Kage-sama," looking up Kagome met the blue eyes that belonged to the wolf general.

"Ohayo Kendoshi-sama." After a quick smile, Kagome turned her attention back to Sesshoumaru who had finally picked a sword off the wall.

"Kaze, I'd like to see if you have improved," without warning Sesshoumaru raised his sword and raced forward and swept an arch to only meet the length of a scythe, "seems that your reflexes have improved."

Kaze drove forward pushing Sesshoumaru back. Sesshoumaru used his momentum and flipped Kaze behind him and pinned Kaze by his neck with his claws while both his legs pinned Kaze's arms one either side and the sword was resting right next to Kaze's ear. Kaze's scythe lay beside them harmlessly. Kaze brought his feet upwards and got a hold of Sesshoumaru's torso and with immense strength, flung him back on his feet. Kaze jumped to his feet and grabbed his scythe and went back to a defensive position.

Extending his hand, Sesshoumaru created a long whip that glowed with his energy. He raised his arm and skilfully lashed out at Kaze. Using his scythe to counter the strikes, Kaze barely dodged the first three lashes before getting hit twice one on his chest and another on his arm. The blood from the gapping wounds dripped on the floor leaving some small bloody marks.

"Your speed needs to improve," yanking the sword from the ground, the panting Kaze got up from kneeling on the floor, "Kendoshi, I'd like to see your skills."

"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama," from behind his brown pelt of fur around his back, Kendoshi drew out a chained sickle. Both opponents went into a defensive position and the rest of the generals moved back to give them some room. Kendoshi was the first to move. He had amazing speed and rounded behind Sesshoumaru launching his chain in attempt to capture his feet. At the last moment Sesshoumaru jumped to the side avoiding the chain. Kendoshi dove forward with his blade while manoeuvring the chain to move to the side. Sesshoumaru used his sword and deflected the chain while jumping over Kendoshi, kicking him in the head and landed gracefully on the ground.

Kendoshi skidded to a hault and whipped around. He sent his blade towards Sesshoumaru aiming for his midsection to only get it wrapped around Sesshoumaru's sword. With a flick of his wrist Sesshoumaru had successfully disarmed Kendoshi. Kendoshi made a quick dash hoping to get to his weapon before Sesshoumaru, but no luck. He halted in his steps by a blade to his throat.

"Learn not to only depend on that one weapon," he lowered his weapon and allowed Kendoshi to retrieve his weapon while he scanned the rest of them. Kagome was still sitting up against the wall watching them eerily. His gaze lingered on her for a split second before turning to Isamu who was standing near his mate.

"Isamu," Sesshoumaru waited until Kendoshi went to the sidelines and Isamu came up before shifting his pose to one who was on guard. Isamu reached into his pockets for some leaves and flung them out causing it to give the illusion there were actually 3 of him in the room. Sitting up Kagome took note and finally found this match to be an interesting one.

'Impressive, he's actually got his scent onto the 2 illusions, and he added some of his energy into them so they hold his aura,' Kagome inspected the three of them and they looked exactly alike down to the clothes, shoes and accessories. 'Let's see if these things can fight.'

Each one of them reached for the sword that was attached to their hips and charged at Sesshoumaru. One of them jumped up and pointed his sword downwards aiming for his head. Another one made their way around back and started to charge while the last, real one walked up in front of Sesshoumaru read to deliver a blow when possible. Sesshourmaru charged forward narrowly escaping the two of them and made a swing for Isamu. Isamu stood there and blocked just in time. Sesshoumaru jumped into the air gracefully escaping the two illusions that charged at him and halted at the spot he was just at.

Sesshoumaru landed expertly behind all three of them. Simultaneously, all three of them charged at him moving harmoniously with each other. Sesshoumaru surprisingly kept all of them at bay and managed to get a few cuts on Isamu, but he himself was sporting a few cuts here and there and some scratches on his armour. After awhile, Sesshoumaru knocked the real Isamu to the ground and had his sword pressed to his neck.

"Call off your illusions," with a flick of his wrist Isamu dropped the illusions and the green leaves fluttered down onto the ground. Sesshoumaru sheathed his weapon and went to the walls in search for another weapon. Heaving a heavy sigh, Isamu got up from the ground and went to stand by his mate.

"So Kage-sama I think you're up," Kagome looked up from following Sesshoumaru's movements and smiled brightly at Isamu.

"You were great out there."

"Thank you for your compliment, I'm sure you'll be great yourself," Kagome smiled at the compliment and watched as Arisa checked all his cuts just to make sure that none of them were too deep.

"Don't count on that too much Isamu-sama. We've never really seen what she can do and besides how well would a small girl like her hold up against Sesshoumaru-sama?" Kagome snapped her head back to the source of the voice only to see Kaze with a smug grin.

"Now Kaze-sama, Arisa-sama puts up a good fight against Sesshoumaru-sama if not better than you and I and she's a female also," Kendoshi strolled forward and gave Kagome a wink, which caused her to giggle a bit.

"Don't worry Kaze-sama. I'll give you a good show." Kagome stood up and dusted off her white clothing, mindful of her armour and weapons, and headed to the middle of the dojo. Sesshoumaru leisurely walked back to the middle, opposing Kagome with a few metres that separated them. She wrapped her tail around her waist so it will not get in the way of the fight. The new weapon he picked out along with his sword was a whip with a metal blade on the end. From the looks of it the whip was made out of dragon's hide, a very durable material.

Kagome stepped into her battle stance and inched her hands towards her normal blades.

"Kage, draw your other blades," without another word, Sesshoumaru pulled out his whip and sent it forward at an alarming pace. Kagome did as she was told and pulled both Hogosha and KageMusha out of their sheaths. Kagome countered with Hogosha as her other blade sliced down hoping to cut the whip into two but with no luck. Sesshoumaru expertly flicked his hand and directed the whip out of the sword's path.

He quickly retaliated by moving his hand from left to right then up. The blade at on the other end followed his exact movements precisely. Kagome dodged and blocked a few of the attacks with her sword but it she still had a shallow cut on her arm. Sesshoumaru repeatedly attacked her and she defended all the while not getting more than a scratch or scrape on her.

The whip lashed out on her again. This time, it wrapped neatly around Hogosha. Kagome pulled in an attempt to dislodge the whip away from her sword but failed to do so. She glanced up. Sesshoumaru drew out his blade and charged towards her. Instinctively, she sent a bit of purifying energy through her sword before realizing what she's done.

The energy traveled up her sword and to the other side of the whip. Sesshoumaru's eyes widened a little before it returned to normal. He dropped the whip before it did anything more than a minor burn. He narrowed his eyes at Kagome who had a horrified look on her face.

Luckily for her, she didn't release enough energy for the rest of the people in the room to figure out what had happened. The only one who knew her secret was Sesshoumaru.

"I yield," announced Kagome. She knew she couldn't go on with the training without an explanation towards Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru gave a curt nod and flexed his hand a bit, assessing the damage without anyone but Kagome noticing.

"Che. I knew that girl didn't have it in her to fight against Lord Sesshoumaru," said Kaze arrogantly.

"You did very well Kage-sama," smiled Arisa.

"Thank you," Kagome said while smiling politely.

"This'll be the end of today's session. Kage, follow me to the library," Sesshoumaru stated. He sheathed his blade while walking out of the dojo.

Kagome glanced at her blades sadly before sheathing them and following Sesshoumaru up to the library. The walk was entirely too quiet and too long. She caught up to him as he entered the large room. Kagome slowly went through the doors and closed them softly.
