Anime: Inuyasha X Aldnoah Zero

Pairing: Kagome X Inaho

The Kataphrakt's arm hung useless, the other was blocking the onslaught of bullets coming her way. Azure eyes glared at the monitor before her, looking for something to get her out of his particular predicament. She had strayed a bit too far from her unit, she was beginning to understand now, why it was they urged them to stay close.

Trying once more to reboot the arm, a slew of curses escaped her lips, the com around her neck catching each one.

"That quite the vocabulary Higurashi." That calm voice came over the com, from the far corner of her screen, she saw the orange Kataphrakt approaching, gun in hand and followed by the rest of his unit. Her own unit, a series of dark blue Kataphrakts her Lord had issued, followed closely, ready to fight.

The knight blathered into the open coms, urging on the fire of Kagome's anger. "Oh fuck off Kaizuka, just do your damn job." she was not in the mood for this.

"Mommy and Daddy are fighting, uh-oh!" Sango's voice rang out, the sarcasm not lost on her.

"Taijiya" she warned, shifting her Kataphrakt and forcing it to move back, the tech really disliked the request, but even still, complied.

Without saying another word, Kaizuka's team took point, the group moving back while Kagome got her Kataphrakt's arm properly connected, at least, good enough to get it working.

Kaizuka got the data he wanted, but the Knight backed down before they could act on it.

"I don't trust that. Too easy." she murmured

"Higurashi, let's not look a gifted horse in the mouth, we will all retreat back to the ship for now." Kaizuka's voice calmed her nerves, and she nodded.

"Right-o!" she quipped, following Inaho's team, her own trailing behind her.

"OH COME ON!" Miroku groaned, his shoulders slumping as he leaned against her very broken Kataphrakt "How do you even manage this?"

"Big, scary sword thing?" Kagome smiled sheepishly, her fingers entrapped in her hair, one leg lifting, tapping her boot against the metal docking bay.

"Just. Go. I will get it fixed as soon as I can." he murmured.

Kagome sighed, turning she waited until she was out of eyesight before pulling her hair back up. Her trek had her passing the glorious, sleek, silver Kataphrackt that Sesshomaru had stolen. Something about the demon blood allowed him to use it, and he bore no ill will forcing Kagome to be the pilot when it suited him. Her steps slowed until she was still, Azure eyes turning upwards, studying the odd technology.

She had finished her time in the past, had come back to the present just after Heavens Fall, her family had perished and she was met by a very unlikely group. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, even Inuyasha. All lead by Sesshomaru. It was a certain comfort, and her training had taken her mind off the happenings of her family's death.

Warm breath sent shivers down her neck, a set of arms looped around her waist, pinning her between the warmth of his body and the biting cold of the railing. "It's gorgeous, Sesshomaru has wonderful taste." his stoic tone was so reminiscent of the Lord he spoke of. A shiver ran down her spine as his lips caressed the sensitive flesh of her neck.

"You wouldn't know, you insist on using the same training Kataphrackt." she was teasing, but it seemed he was not in the mood for that right now. She found herself spun around, looking up at him. His fingers rose up, pulling her hair loose, the curtain of black fell down around her neck. She reached up, fingers curling into his hair, holding him fast and using this to keep herself from melting.

"It's a blank slate, I can modify it how I need to" he commented, watching her with narrowed eyes.

"Still, convenience is not opulence" she countered, raising a brow at the look he gave her.

"I have something much more special than a fancy Kataphrackt." his tone became much warmer, near a whisper as if he feared someone else hearing.

"Do you now?" She was curious, she had seen his room, it was blank beyond what his roommate put up. Not wanting to be cruel, she held her tongue from mentioning that his home was gone now, and all of his belongings with it. "What might this rare item be?" she posed the question, it must be something he found while out on patrol.

His fingers brushed her hair aside, his lips ghosting over her flesh. After a few moments, his breathy reply made her heart stop.

"You"
