The Devil You Know by *~*Missy*~*
in which Kagome begins what she has set out to do
Sesshoumaru watched as Naraku walked into the training room, his eyes on the demon that had caused him so much strife over the years. He had been a thorn in his side for way to long and right now he was going to get some payback. It was merely a training exercise true, but it was time to see what Naraku’s full demon form had in him. It would certainly be different and he was fairly certain that the regenerative property that the demon held before would be gone now. It would prove to be very intriguing to see exactly what happened between the two of them, and kamis knew that Sesshoumaru had been itching for a good fight for such a long time.
“Naraku, finally you join this one. Whatever has taken you so long, or are you merely incapable of keeping time and determined to waste this ones. It will not be an easy process this training and this Sesshoumaru needs to measure where your skills are at to properly gauge how much work there is to do with your pathetic skills.” Sesshoumaru said, though the entire time that he was speaking he was not facing Naraku, he looked at the variety of weapons that there was on the wall.
“Oh you know, popped by our favorite miko’s room to see how she was doing. And how she was doing was interesting indeed. Apparently she was having a quite pleasant dream, from the look on her face and the scent of arousal wafting off of her.” Naraku chuckled darkly and nearly quicker than his eye could see Sesshoumaru was in front of him growling. It was quite amusing to him to see the frosty lord lose his cool.
“You will refrain from talking about our companion that way.” He growled and then walked away again.
“Very well, if you want to deny things that are true then that is your business.” Naraku said as he took off his shirt, he was well muscled in this new form. “Shall we begin then? No weapons first I am assuming?”
“Obviously.” Is Sesshoumaru wasn’t a stronger person he would have rolled his eyes at the idiotic remark.
And it began; the two demons were locked in a fierce bit of combat. There was stress between the two and this was all unleashed in the wonderful dance of combat, black and silver whirled together in a liquid dance of hatred and passion. The two looked like gods locked in an eternal embrace and fight. The funny thing was, all of the fight was over a woman.

Kagome awoke with a scream, a servant ran to her immediately. It was a young girl. She was very pretty, she had sky blue eyes and her fur was matching in color. She was a inuyoukai that much was clear, she was sweet and caring and wrapped her arms around Kagome in a comforting embraced. Kagome was hyperventilating, she did not even know what had scared her such out of the deep slumber that she was in but something scared her just the same. Once she had calmed down enough to breathe adequately she inquired to the girl about the two demon’s whereabouts.
“They are in the training room, My Lady.” She said with a bow of her head.
“I am afraid that you are mistaken, young one, for I am no lady.” Kagome said gently.
“The entirety of the castle has been instructed by our Lord Sesshoumaru to call you Lady Kagome, my lady.” The young girl said she had this sincere quality about her that Kagome like her very much.
“What is your name, my dear?” Kagome asked her, the girl bowed her head for a long time, refusing to look at her. “Have I said something wrong? Have I offended you.”
“No, no my lady. It is just that no one here ever asks the servants their names. It is a great honor that you do me that I do not deserve. You are a kind a loving Lady, just as we were told. I have to admit I was scared of you when I received my assignment to do for you anything that you needed. I have been afraid of miko’s ever since one came to my village and slaughter my people.”
“Who was it young one?”
“Her name was Kikyou, ma’am. And mine, I am Kou.”
Kagome smiled and though, this young girl did encompase light now that she thought about it.
“Hello Kou. I would like to invite you to call me Kagome.” She smiled.
“Oh no ma’am, no! You do me too great of an honor, I could not possibly accept.”
“Please, Kou, I insist.” Kagome smiled.
“Alright, Kagome…” She whispered.
“Good, now let’s get me ready, I need to go down and do some training of my own.”
----------------------
The two demons had been, dare they say it, enjoying themselves. Sesshoumaru had found out that Naraku was actually quite adept when it came to hand on hand combat. The pair had been fighting like this for probably an hour. It wasn’t long before Sesshoumaru stopped dead in his tracks though.
“What is it?” Naraku asked curiously.
“The miko is awake.” He said simply and Naraku turned his head to look in the direction in which Sesshoumaru was looking and had to fight the strong urge to drop his jaw. There Kagome was and she was walking over to them. She had on a short solid black kimono, it came up to her thighs. She wore some red training shoes, her ankles were wrapped with bandages and there was a blood red obi tied to her waist.
“Hi guys!” Kagome said brightly as she walked over towards them. She felt great in this outfit. She was ready to do some real training, combative and otherwise, she wondered who would train her though. Surely they both had different styles and fought different ways. But then her mind strayed a little. She looked at the both of them, they were only in their hakmas. Their shirts were off, there was sweat dripping from their ample muscles. They both breathed slightly heavy, they had clearly been out here for a little bit yet. She thought of what it would be like to be sandwhiched between them. Let both of them bring her to the heights of passion right here in the dojo. KAGOME! Her head screamed at her. Oh, right. She thought as she looked at them. “No problems I take it? You two playing nice?”
“Why yes we’ve just been having a lovely fight.” Naraku said with a chuckle.
“Good, now I would like to learn how to accurately defend myself, I also want to do some miko endurance training as well. I need to face myself against both of your reikis. It will hurt me quite a bit but it would also hurt whoever is volunteering as well. I am truly sorry that I have to do this to you guys but it is the only way that I can get stronger. And besides that I need to see what I can do with this new power that I now have.” Kagome said cheerrily.
“Fight this one with your hand to hand combat style and Naraku will help you with your endurance training.” Sesshoumaru said as he looked over at Naraku for comfirmation at which the other demon merely nodded.
“Alright.” Kagome nodded her head in determination.
Sesshoumaru began charging Kagome, he was using human speed at this moment he needed to gauge her reaction times depending upon her opponents and how she was able to defend herself currently. She was able to dodge him quite well, she block several of his punches and even threw a kick or two out at him. Pleased with her progress so far he upped his speed to that of a hanyou. She had a little more trouble now. He landed a few hits on her, though not terrible hard, they were hard enough to shake her. She started keeping her hands up, as if she were boxing, and dodging he fists. He decided to take her up to his normal speed, just to see how she did with the change. She got rocketed in the cheek once and he could see the anger flare up in those sapphire oceans. She dove under one of his punches to the other side of the dojo and he smirked. Good, very good. He thought to himself as he was quite surprised when she kicked him in the side of the face with a roundhouse kick.
“Quite good miko. You most definitely need work, but you have performed admirably.” Sesshoumaru said as he walked away.
“Well Kagome looks like we’re alone in the dojo.”
“Naraku!” Kagome yelled with a chuckle. “Let us focus on what we need to do. Perhaps there will be time for a little bit of fun later.” She said seductively to him.
