Kagome/Hojo. Really. XD
()()()()()()
How many times had she thought Hojo was boring? Dull? Stupid? Denser then the concrete crumbling beneath the cities?
Um. Constantly.
However as he glared at her, his brown eyes and hair over now angular mature features didn't seem so average. It was a mask, she knew that now. His silliness, his petulant whining to take care of her.
Who would have thought her annoying school mate was actually a demonslayer?
That his constant studying of herbs to help with her ailments had led him to learn of the poisons and treatments of old and to learn to train his body for it.
That he was apparently descended from the eastern Taijiya clan Sango had spoken of once or twice, known for being deceptive and often ninja. That he was -employed- by Sesshomaru now!
Her Hojo.
It had a nice ring to it.
Hojo pulled her close, shielding her eyes from the bright glare as he threw a small weapon etched with holy kanji at the last demon there, cradling her bleeding form and huffed.
"I think I liked it better when you were faking getting injured."
Kagome laughed then, and gave him a breathtaking smile. "I think Hojo..after um, we are both cleaned up..it's time for that dinner date...we have a lot to talk about..."
Like that demons were in her time, kept under control, with Taijiya like him...and that she was a miko, thought to be extinct.
This could be a -beautiful- partnership.
