Torn In Two

Chapter Three


The next day the girls woke up and got ready for their first training sessions. Keiko had decided to wear a simple pair of grey sweat pants. But she looked good when she joined it with only a sports bra. The red in the bra helped to bring out her eyes. She knew that she would be training with Yomi this morning and was dreading it. Would he still be mad about the piece of meat? She wondered if she could call in sick. Kagome had picked pretty much the same except her sweats were black and her she choose to wear a shirt that was cut off just above her belly button. Kagome had her first lesson with Yusuke today. Both girls walked down a long corridor and walked outside into what looked like a garden. They looked around surprised by the beauty of the place. ‘Who would have thought that a limp brain like Yomi would have something like this here. I’m so glad that Keiko has to deal with him before I do. All six of his ears must still be blowing smoke.’ Kagome gave a little smile at her thoughts. They walked deep into the garden and saw four little houses. Yomi was standing on the steps of one while Yusuke was standing on another. The girls looked at each other and began to walk in different directions. While walking away Kagome turned and looked at Keiko. “Good luck girl.”


“Thanks. I think I’m going to need it.” Keiko replied and continued to walk in the direction of the Lord. She felt her nerves pack up and run for cover. She had no idea what was going to happen to her once she stepped into that doorway. She slowed her pace and hoped that by the time she got there that he wouldn’t still be mad. She saw him turn and walk inside. She slowly went up the steps and walked into the doorway. Letting her eyes adjust to the difference in the light she looked around and saw that the place was basically a normal dojo. Well almost. Normal dojos don’t have demons lined up around all the walls. Keiko was startled when she heard the strong voice.


“Close the door.” was all he said. Keiko noticed that his facial expression never changed. Then she thought that a good swift kick in the nuts might make him change his expression. She would have to try that later. She turned and closed the door and before she knew it he was right behind her. ‘What the hell? I didn’t even hear him move.’ She gasped when his hand grabbed the back of her neck. He applied a little bit of pressure but nothing that he knew would hurt her. Keiko let her hand drop from the doorknob and let it fall to her side. She would let him think that he had her. Yomi felt that her heart had sped up the moment he had touched her. But he was thinking that he wanted to see just how fast he could make that pulse go. Keiko brought her arm around and swung her fist as hard as she could to try and make connect with his face. Yomi dodged the blow very easily. Keiko took up her fighting stance and just looked at him.


“Now what was it you called me? A blind motherfucker? I will have you know that throughout this whole training session you will find it hard to hit me. You have to be quick and never let your guard down. And as I have shown you never turn your back. Now take your best shot at me again.” He wanted to see just what this little human girl was capable of. He also wondered what she would be capable of in other performances. He would take his time with that quest though.


Keiko stood her ground and waited for the right moment. Yomi just stood there and made no move toward her. She waited and waited until she couldn’t wait any more. She ran towards him and let her left fist fly. She felt a strong impact meet her hand but it was not the intended target of his face. He had brought his hand up and swiped her fist away. The force of it had her flying to the right and she landed flat on her ass. She stood up and wiped the dirt off of her rear.


“You heartbeat speeds up when you begin an attack. You have to learn to control your emotions. They will do nothing but hold you back. Never stop to think about what might happen at the end of a fight. One loses, one wins. Always make sure that it is you that is the winner. Close your eyes.” Yomi wanted her to learn to use all her senses. Not just her eyes. It was something that he had to do and he would see that anyone who trains under him will do the same.


“I don’t think so.”Keiko said as she took up her fighting stance one more time. This time she was not that far away and she thought a good roundhouse would be enough. She spun and gasped when he caught her foot in his hand. So there she was standing on one leg the other held by Yomi. Boy did she feel like such an ass. She was about to lose her balance when she remembered something that Genkai had taught her. She braced herself and jumped up with the other leg. She swung and ‘Hell yeah’ it made contact. Her sneaker barely hit him in the side of his head. He let go of her foot at the impact and stumbled back. He rubbed his hand on his head. For the first time Keiko thought she had seen something that looked like a smile.


“Oh yeah. I nailed your ass. Oh yeah!” she kept repeating as she danced in circles. ‘I knew I could do it. That cocky bastard thought that I couldn’t hit him. Well I showed him. Keiko you are one bad bitch.’


“Very good. But you do realize that I let you hit me. I want to see your moves. I think that you have some great potential if you keep working on it. Now, as I said before close your eyes. I promise that I will behave.”


Keiko felt like a moron. Had he really let her hit him on purpose. “Earlier I went to the bathroom that was in the hall next to the dining hall and someone had tinkled on the seat. It was you wasn’t it? You tinkled on the seat. You know, next time you might want to aim a little better. Oh that’s right, you can’t see where you’re aiming at.” Keiko wanted to see the man get upset. She had felt good that she had hit him only to have him throw it back in her face.


Yomi didn’t find the girl all that amusing. He was definitely going to have to teach her a lesson in manners. “ Well, then next time you can hold it for me and then we won’t have that problem. You know my doctor told me I shouldn’t lift anything to heavy.” He smiled at the stunned look on her face. She would learn not to bait him. He sensed when she ran at him and tried to take a swing at his face.


“You know, most men compare their own size based on seeing other males. So coming from you I wouldn’t take that to heart.” Keiko was feeling good about herself. She was going to do everything she could to piss him off. She ran at him and noticed that he didn’t move. She was about to hit him with a right hook when his hand came down on her forehead. He held her at bay with his hand there while both her fists were swinging away. She was so focused on swing that before she knew it he let go and she was falling. She tried to brace herself but the only thing to grab onto was his pants as she fell. She landed flat on her face and when she looked up she saw that his pants had fell some also. They were down to his thighs. Keiko was getting a very nice view. “Whoa!” ‘Okay I can see why he is so damn proud.’ The guy was huge. And considering this was the first one she had ever seen she felt the blush come to her cheeks. She cleared her throat and started to get up. She stood up and turn her back to him. He made no move to pull up his pants. “You can cover that thing up any time now.”


Yomi knew that the girl was embarrassed now. He assumed that she had never been with a man before and his suspicions had been confirmed when she had blushed. He slowly pulled his pants back up to their rightful place. He thought that she had suffered enough humiliation for one day. “Now, let’s continue shall we. As I told you before, close your eyes and concentrate.


Well that was easier said than done. How was she going to be able to concentrate after seeing that. She closed her eyes and at first she could see him in her mind. She could see him standing there in front of her naked. There he was with his nice tight body. His big broad shoulders held tight to show his superiority. His nice ripped abs glistening with sweat. The firmness of his masculine thighs. Oh God how was she going to get him out of her mind. She let out a long breath.


“I want you to clear your head. Don’t think about anything. Listen with your ears. Hear what is going on around you. Smell what is in the air. Feel the change in the air when I move. And most important you must keep yourself calm. Never let your heart race.” Yomi circled her as she stood there with her eyes closed. She felt like a total idiot. With her eyes closed how was she suppose to see when he went to attack her. Then there was the fact that she had to keep him out. ‘Okay. I can do this. Block everything out. No thoughts.’ She was amazed when her mind went blank. The only sounds she heard was the sound of her own heartbeat in rhythm with his. Then she heard it. The wind changed coming from her left. She swayed to the right just in time to miss a fist in her ribs. She opened her eyes and looked at him.


“I did it. I did it and I kept my eyes closed. Oh yeah!” she started to jump up and down. She started to sway her hips and dance again. If she kept this up she could definitely kick some serious ass. She couldn’t wait until she had to train with Yusuke.


Yomi heard the girls steps going around the room. He was amazed by her reaction to her accomplishment. He felt the girl come closer to him. He felt it when she obviously started to sway her ass up against him. The blood started to drawn from his head all the way down. The girl had no idea what affect she was having on him. He could feel it when she moved to come in front of him. She just stood there and looked at his face. Once again there was no expression. She grabbed his hands and put them on her hips.


“Come on dance with me. Don’t be such a sour wart.” Keiko said. She began to sway with his hands still in place. Yomi couldn’t take no more. He had to put a stop to this and stop it now. He placed his leg behind her and pushed back. Keiko fell hard to the floor and Yomi lay on top of her. He could smell a combination of her soap and a scent of fear. As long as that fear was there he wouldn’t take what he wanted. He wanted her to ask for it. He looked into her eyes and forcefully put his lips to hers. He didn’t get the response that he was expecting. Instead of protesting she kissed him back. He licked her lower lip. His tongue shot forward and she responded by allowing him full access to her moist cavern. She brought her hands up to cup his face. Their tongues danced to their own rhythm. Keiko felt like her body was on fire. It wasn’t like this when she had kissed Yusuke. She felt his hands slide up her side and he ran his thumb across one of her nipples. He felt the bud respond to his touch. Keiko let a soft moan escape her lips. Gods, she didn’t want this to ever end. He stood up and she watched him walk to the door. He turned and faced the confused girl, “This lesson is over.” and he walked out.

Kagome stood at the door to the other dojo and looked at Yusuke. He still looked like a bad boy reject. This was going to be a long day. She was going to get even for the roll to her nose. She began to walk closer to him. Reject or not he sure was fine. How the hell was she going to be able to concentrate with him looking that good in those jeans?


Yusuke put his hand up,” Before we get started there is going to be one rule. Absolutely no purifying my ass. This is strictly learning fighting techniques. Are we clear?” he asked. Damn she looked good standing there looking at him. He was going to enjoy this very much. He kept wondering why Kuwabara hadn’t told him that he had such a fine cousin. Guess it didn’t matter now. He knew who she was now and he planned to have her.


“Oh man! You just took all the fun out of it. What if I just took of a limb? You will still be able to fight with one arm. Or how about a leg? No... oh well. Let’s get started then.” Kagome took her fighting stance. “Let’s go hot stuff. Show me your moves.”


“Oh you will see my moves alright. I just hope you are ready.” he said and took his own fighting stance. Yusuke didn’t know how he was going to do this. He really didn’t hit girls so of course he couldn’t give it his all. But he saw no reason on why he couldn’t get a little groping in while he was at it.


“Bring it on beefsteak!” Kagome took some more steps towards him. “ You aren’t afraid of little ole me are you?” She took a few more steps. She ran towards him and jumped in the air. She saw him jump and meet her. They punched and blocked each others blows. Kagome landed on her feet with her hands on the ground. Yusuke landed a few feet away, standing tall and proud of himself. He charged her and she took her stance. She wasn’t going to move. He swung his right fist and just when he was inches from her face she did a back flip and her sneakers hit him clear in his chin.


Yusuke stumbled back and rubbed his chin. He had to admit that this girl had some style. She had her back to him and he grabbed her around the neck with his arm. He didn’t want to choke her he just wanted to see if she could handle it if someone tried to snatch her. He realized that she could when she brought the back of her head and it made contact with his nose. He let go and covered his nose with his hands. There was a little bit of blood but he just wiped it away. “That was very good. Now let’s try it again and this time pretend that I have a sword to your throat.”


“Ok. Why not?” Kagome said and she turned her back to him. She felt it when he came up behind her. This time he gently put his arm around her neck. She was about to head butt him again but he moved his head to the left. She gasped when she felt his arm move and his hands went straight to her breast. He gave them a gentle squeeze. “ You asshole!” she said as she swung her left fist straight up to hit him. Yusuke dodged that blow as well.


“You know you have good a great set there on ya. Are they real?” Yusuke saw the red creep up on the girl’s face. He couldn’t tell if she was blushing or if she was just getting pissed. He only blinked for a second and that was his mistake. He didn’t see the girl give him a sweep kick. All he knew was that he was on his ass.


“That is for me to know and you NOT to find out.” Kagome was having fun. All her other training hadn’t been like this. It was all so boring. She was looking forward to her training to continue now.


They continued to fight for a few hours. Later, they sat on the mat on the floor drinking some water. Both Yusuke and Kagome were exhausted She knew that she was going to be sore for a while. She had landed on her ass a few times.


“So tell me, how can something as fine as you be related to Kuwabara?” Yusuke said and took another sip of his water. Both he and Kagome were drenched with sweat. He couldn’t help but look at the way her little shirt was clinging to her breast. He wanted to just touch that creamy skin. He bet it felt as soft as silk.


“You don’t need to know anything about me.” she said as she wiped a stray hair away from her face. She had to admit that she was impressed by the way he fought. Although he had never hit her, if it had been a real battle she would have lost. Especially since she couldn’t use her purification powers at that time. If she had of course she would have won. Hell, he wouldn’t have gotten near her. She stretched her legs and laid back on her elbows.


“I know I don’t need to know anything about your personal life but I want to know. I want to know all I can about the girl that I am going to be with.” He had a smile on his face that made the devil look innocent.


“You’re a cocky bastard aren’t you? Look, you are definitely not my type. That whole bad boy thing you got going on is so last season. Haven’t you ever heard of going with the times?” Kagome asked. She sat back up and pulled her hair out of the ponytail that it was in. ‘No use in having it up now.’ She swung her head back and forth to try and even out her hair.


Yusuke watched as the girl freed her hair. She was incredibly beautiful. He licked his lips and ran his hand through his own hair. He wanted to taste her. But how does he go about doing it? He watched as the girl stood up. He knew that it was getting about time for them to head in for lunch. He reached up and grabbed her arm. He got up still holding on to her and pulled her close to him. He reached up with his other hand and wiped another stray hair away. He looked into her eyes. It was like looking into a pair of sapphires. He brought his hand up and grabbed her chin.


Kagome held her breath. Was he going to kiss her? She closed her eyes as he lowered his lips to hers. Her lips were soft and tasted sweet. His tongue pierced his way between her teeth. He found his way inside her moist cavern and heard her release a soft moan. Her hands came up around his neck. She felt her legs begin to feel like jell-o and leaned in to him for support. His arms went around her waist and he deepened the kiss. He lowered his lips down to the nape of her neck. Kagome threw her head back with the intense pleasure that he was causing. She felt like her stomach was on fire and the sensation was traveling all the way down. Oh Gods, this was heaven. Yusuke hated to but her pulled back from the girl and looked into the sapphire like eyes. He could see the flush of her cheeks. He touched a finger to her cheek and smiled.


“The next time I do that I won’t stop at just a kiss.” He looked down at her angelic face. Why hadn’t he felt like this with Keiko? Why was this miko having so much of an effect on him? He placed a soft kiss on her nose and started to walk away. He looked back at her as he reached the door. She had her hand on her lips. “See you at lunch.” and he walked away.


Kagome stood there for a minute. She had two guys kiss her in two days. Both had felt great. What was she going to do? She started to walk back to the palace with thoughts racing through her head.

Kagome walked into the bathroom and saw that Keiko was already taking a swim in the huge bath tub. She wanted to wash the sweat of off her too. She looked at the girl and gave a smile. Should she tell her that her ex had just kissed her? She didn’t want to lose her as a friend already. “Mind if I join you? It has been a long morning.”


“No not at all. Besides, I wanted to have some girl talk before we headed down for lunch.” Keiko said. She really wanted to share with her new friend about the kiss the she had with Yomi. She also wanted to tell her about her new ability to hear when an attack was coming.


Kagome stripped out of her damp clothes and dove into the water. It was nice and hot. She could feel her muscles already beginning to relax. She pushed her hair back out of her face and began to swim. She looked over at her friend and noticed that she was smiling. “Ok what has gotten into you? You look like the cat who just ate the canary.”


Keiko let out a laugh. “He kissed me.” She could still feel his lips on hers. Just the thought of it had her blood boiling. She really wanted to do it again. But would he? She was after all a human and he was a demon. Isn’t that why her and Yusuke had split?


Kagome splashed water at the girl. “What? Yomi kissed you? I can’t believe it. He seems like such a tight ass. Well, how was it? Don’t tell me that after he was done that you looked like a St. Benard. I hate it when a guy drools all over me.”


“ No it wasn’t like that. It was nice. Very nice indeed.” Keiko laid on her back and started to float. All she could think about when she had walked back to her room was that kiss and seeing Yomi exposed. She began to think that she would feel sorry for any woman who messed with him.


“Cool. A guy who knows how to kiss. You might want to keep him. Listen, I need to ask you something. I value you as a friend but I really need to know. How do you feel about Yusuke kissing another girl? I mean, ok I’ll just get it out. Yusuke kissed me today at training.” she looked and waited for the girl to start screaming. She just knew that the girl was going to come swimming at her and try and drown her any minute now. She felt relief when she seen her smile.


“It’s ok. Yusuke and I are just friends now. Of course I guess I wouldn’t like it if he went after some bleach blond uber dyke. You are a good person Kagome and it pleases me to see him trying to be with someone who can put up with his shit but who would also treat him good. I’m not mad about it. We have a past together and in this future we will still have each other but only as friends. You have my blessing to go for it girl.”


Kagome did a back flip in the water. She was glad that Keiko hadn’t gotten mad. The girls swam a little longer and then stepped out of the bath. As they were getting dressed Kagome had an interesting question. “ Ok, Hiei is a fire apparition, Yusuke is a mazoku, Kurama is a fox demon. What the hell is Yomi?”


“Horse.” was all that came out of Keiko. She saw the puzzled look on Kagome’s face. “ Oh alright. While fighting I fell and I grabbed his pants to try and brace myself. Well they came down some and let me tell you that man is hung. I mean it was the first one that I have seen but if they are all like that then I’m glad I am still a virgin. Something like that would kill a normal human girl.” She saw that the other girl was on the verge of laughter. She felt another blush coming and buried her face in her hands.


Kagome patted the girl on the back and smiled. “ Relax. I personally haven’t seen much myself. So you aren’t alone in this. Just remember that us girls have to stick together.” She placed her arm around her friend and they walked out of the room to retrieve lunch. They were hoping that they could cause more problems this time as well. But both girls had their minds on the guys that had kissed them. Kagome trying to figure out what to do about her problem. Hiei and Yusuke wanted her. Keiko was worried about Yomi. Could she ever be interested in another demon knowing that the last time it didn’t work?
