Chapter 12:

Inuyasha was obviously enjoying his new skills, Kinako hardly needs to train anymore anyway, as she has had hers for a long time. Only Kagome was in trouble. She managed to turn back the time for some items, but the result was not exactly great. Kagome had to master their skills before they could start the fusion. But she never really made it. ° I just can't concentrate ° Kinako thought he recognized the problem. “Kagome-chan come with me, please!” She did. "Could it be that you can't concentrate because your thoughts are with Inuyasha?" Kagome blushed, answering the question. "Don't worry, this Kikyo is no longer an obstacle for you" Kagome now had one less problem. Now she made it, but her strength was short-lived. "I just can't do it," Kagome complained for the umpteenth time. A sigh escaped Inuyasha and Kinako at the same time."Will that still be something?" Inuyasha whispered so that Kagome wouldn't hear. "Definitely not to worry. Oh, the spell loses its effect in less than an hour" Inuyasha was shocked. He still didn't know if she loved him (you don't notice anything) ° I still have to know if Kagome loves me ° Kinako had to hold her head. Obviously it couldn't be more. Inuyasha probably wouldn't even notice if love jumped in his face. Kagome heard that too and blushed ° Why does he want to know? Does he love me? ° Now Inuyasha turned red too. Kinako looked back and forth at both of them. Nobody said anything and Kinako was getting too stupid. "We should give Kagome some tips and not just watch." He nodded eagerly. They really tried hard to get Kagome, but it still didn't really work out. But admittedly Kagome was acting a bit stupid. But every beginning is difficult, she did her best.She could concentrate for a while and release her energy, but after a few seconds everything lost its effect. It was now night. "That's enough for today, we really have little time to learn everything. That could be really difficult". Inuyasha and Kagome agreed. The spell was gone now, but both still wished to read the other's mind. They all went to sleep to collect energy for the next day because they had to keep training.



Kinako, Inuyasha and Tieena were the first to wake up. Kinako and Inuyasha had a training match to test their strength. Kinako was superior in physical strength, but Inuyasha was superior in muscle strength. Tieena watched the two eagerly, especially Inuyasha fixed him. Kinako had put on a battle suit that Tieena had lent her. Inuyasha, however, was wearing his suikan, but only the pants. That made it even more fun for Tieena to watch Inuyasha.When they were finished and completely sweaty, they wondered where Kagome was. "She's still sleeping. She's a sleepyhead," Inuyasha said in the usual tone. "We should wake her up, we don't have forever" So all three set off to see the sleeping Kagome. All three looked at Kagome, who was still fast asleep. "How can you sleep so long?" that was Inuyasha, of course. "Well, we have to wake her up anyway. But with Kagome this is difficult." said Kagome. "We could let something bite her and she'll wake up," said Tieena, looking at Kagome. She got a face that said, "Are you completely crazy now, forget that again quickly" to see Kinako and Inuyasha. "Sorry!" she muttered. They tried to shake him up, yell at him and tickle, but nothing worked. "I have an idea," Inuyasha said and ran out of the room. Kinako and Tieena looked after him questioningly. Inuyasha came running back, bucket in hand.Kinako noticed the water was in there. "Inuyasha stop it! If you wake Kagome like that, she gets pissed off" But Inuyasha didn't care and just grinned. "But it will be her face" He poured it over Kagome and she started up immediately. She looked around in shock and when she saw who had woken her up she shouted "INU YASHA, YOU BAKA! WHAT ARE YOU WAKING ME WITH COLD WATER ?! SEAT! SEAT! SEAT! SEAT! SEAT! SEAT! SEAT! SIIIIITTTTTZZZZZ!" Much howling, Inuyasha fell to the ground. He just lay there for a while, then lifted his head a little. "Kagome you..." He said angrily. She got up and went into a room to get dressed. Kinako crouched down next to him. "Everything alright? It's pretty tough." "At least one of them understands me," he said, feeling sorry for himself. Tieena glared after Kagome and then turned to Inuyasha, exaggerated. Kagome now went out of the room with dry clothes. But now she saw how Tieena was again outrageously tinkering with him.Kinako saw Tieena with a face that said `you can leave it behind '. Kagome was getting too colorful. Only now did she notice that Inuyasha was only wearing his pants, which only made it worse for her. "Inuyasha, Kinako-chan we wanted to practice when we finally got there!" she said loudly and dragged Inuyasha and Kinako after them. Inuyasha did not understand (he has a long line) but Kinako understood immediately. Tieena followed, offended. As always, Kagome tried very hard, even if the results weren't too good. Tieena was more and more annoyed that Inuyasha was in love with this human brat. She couldn't even control her powers, which was typical for people. Now the fate of the world population depended on this "no-good" finally learning it and still having to get it on the line to unite with them. "Well, something's going wrong here," Kinako said worryingly. It was definitely not because of Kagome. Either it was because of their concentration or they were being negatively influenced.(sounds stupid but what the heck)



Kinako dragged Kagome out of the practice room and left Inuyasha with Tieena. That went against the grain of Kagome enormously. When they were alone and out of earshot, they started talking. "You say Kagome-chan! Could it be that something depresses you?" Kagome was silent, she depressed a lot lately. "I don't want to leave you with that and..." "Oh, you don't burden me with this. You can tell me about it," interrupted Kagome. "Well, it's because of Tieena, you know? She hates me because I love Inu yasha too and she said that she would like to kill me. And besides, she is also very pretty and I'm just scared that she would be with Inu yasha has more chances than me. Because she can understand Inuyasha better than me and he is also much nicer to her "Now Kinako knew where the hell was going. "Kagome, I assure you, Tieena has little or no chance against you. And when she has finally come to terms with it, she will certainly forget Inuyasha and she will then no longer be so dismissive to you.Believe me! "Somehow Kagome believed her words, she already felt that she was better." Now you have to make an effort, I promise? "Kagome nodded and smiled." Yes, I promise "

Kagome and Kinako stepped back into the room they used to train. "Can we continue?" Inuyasha asked impatiently. Both nodded. "Well, I'll give you a simple task first, I'll just wait and get something quickly!" said Tieena. She had to help them learn their powers, which Kagome didn't particularly like. Yasion couldn't take on this task because he was doing something else that he didn't want to tell about. Tieena came back with a pot full of earth. "Um ... what now?" asked Kagome, confused. "There are seeds in there, right ?!" said Tieena to Kagome and it was very poisonous. As a punishment, she earned three angry looks. "And since Kagome can influence the time, should she let the seeds grow into plants now, right?" asked Kinako. Tieena nodded."And how do I do that now" Tieena wanted to say something mean again, but she got a warning look from Kinako, who already suspected what she was going to say. "You just have to concentrate on your object and try to influence the time continum and grow the seeds into flowers!" "Huh?" she could only say on Tieena's explanation. Kinako decided to "translate" it for her. "So just imagine in your head that the seeds grow into flowers and you can only concentrate on the seeds, on nothing else!" Now Kagome understood and tried her luck again. She now didn't notice anything around her and imagined how flowers were growing out of the seeds. Kagome pictured it, but had she really made it? She opened her eyes and saw the pot with beautiful flowers in it. She had let time go by. She made it and it stayed."Congratulations Kagome-chan, you did it," Kinako said happily with a smile. Tieena was more of the opinion that it was time that she made it. Kagome now looked expectantly at Inuyasha, but he didn't seem ready to congratulate her. But Inuyasha noticed how Kinako looked at him with an expression on his face that clearly said, `Well, say it and don't be so picky`. "Nice that you did it, not bad," he muttered without looking at her. But Kagome was very happy. In contrast to Tieena who was jealous again. Kagome was given increasingly difficult tasks, but after a short or long time she had solved them almost perfectly. Kagome was really happy that she finally mastered it. "Well that's enough for today is already evening," Inuyasha said, bored. Everyone agreed. They went to their rooms, but were not asleep yet.



When Inuyasha came to his room, Miroku was there."What do you want here?" Inuyasha asked. "Well, I'm bored and I can't go to the girls" Inuyasha knew what that meant. "You were already there and they kicked you out, right?" His silence proved that he was there. "You have nothing else in mind" the monk waved him off. "And how far is Kagome-sama already?" he tried to distract from the subject. It worked. "She can almost do it now. Practice one more day and then we can start with the merging." "Let's hope it goes well," said Miroku doubtfully. "Sure, why not?" "Oh, forget it" to think that they might not have mastered the fusion by then, he probably wasn't thinking about that.



"Kinako-chan?" "Yes?" "Can you stay with me, I want to chat a little longer" Kinako nodded happily to Kagome. When they got into Kagome's room they saw that they
