I do NOT own any of the characters from Inuyasha those belong to Rumiko Takashi.
SO This story has been in my mind for a long time, please be nice I know my grammar is not that good, but lets see how this goes.
"You know its not safe for humans out here?" He said with an arrogant smirk extending his hand to the "human" in front of him.
"God damn arrogant son of a bitch!" A petite young woman exclaimed punching the sacred tree. Walking back and forth fuming the young woman, muttered to herself pacing a hole at the base of the tree. Sighing,she blew a strand of platinum blonde hair from her face, tucking the rest behind her ears; the sun catching a glimmer of two ivory cuffs on each ear. Looking up, she stared at the top of the large tree, then took a deep breathing soaking in the presence of the tree, calming herself down.
After she felt calmer, she looked down at the hole where her fist had been and sighed again, "I am sorry, I did not mean to take my anger out on you. I mean he saved my life," she apologetically explained placing her hand over the hole she made, "he just did not have to be an arrogant jerk about it." Closing her eyes the wind started to pick up messing her blonde hair up enveloping her close; pink glow enveloped her hand. As the wind started to die down, she removed her hand, the pink glow fading; opening her eyes the hole was not longer there, only smooth tree. Feeling better, she turned around leaning on the tree and sighing, "at least I do not have to worry for a while now about it happening again, Inuyasha should be back and he will be able to take me back next time." Patting the tree she pushed off and turned towards a well known for her that would lead her back home.
Humming to herself as she walked past the familiar village faces, she almost did not hear the bush rustle behind her as a young man came barreling out.
"Kagome!" the young man shouted running towards her.
She dodged out of his reach and flipped over him kicking his back knocking him down. Turning about-face she drew the sword she hid on her red kimono pointing it as his neck. "My name is Rena, not Kagome."
The young man looked confused, his sweet complex scrunched up as he looked closer.
Rena took the time to glance over her opponent. He had light chestnut brown hair that covered to his ears, fox like green eyes staring back at her confused. He wore a baby blue kimono with leaf pattern and a brown fur vest. His pants were dark blue and went to his mid caff and he had no shoes since his feet here paws. Assessing no life threatening risk Rena place her sword back into the hidden sheath on her back, not relaxing her stance though.
His gaze cleared up and he looked at her almost reverently. Feeling a bit creeped out, Rena took a step back putting some distance between her and the young man. "I am sorry, my name is Shippo, your scent reminded me of an old friend that I cared for." Standing up he dusted himself off, he was about 6'2", still staring at her with that look of worship, laughing a bit, "You also dress like her." He stated pointing to her red kimono top, worn jean shots, and lack of shoes.
Crossing her arms Rena gave him an assessing look, "Well I am not her, and even if I was you should not jump out and attack."
Growling he took a defensive stance, "I did not say you were her, I said you smelled like her," he threw his arms up exasperated, "I also did not attack you! I-"
"From my point of view boy, it looked like an attack." A new person came in looking between the two. Coming right up behind Rena, "I can see why he would though." He whispered, his presence looming over her, his breath tickling the little hairs on her neck. It took everything in Rena not to jump at how fast he moved.
"This is none of your business wolf boy! You were not even in this conversation." Shippo shouted his face turning red with unrestrained anger.
Smirking Wolf boy laid his arms over Rena's shoulders, "What kind of gentleman would I be that I do not help the lady when she is in trouble?" He smirked and turned his bicolored green and brown eyes onto Rena, "What is this? The third time?"
Shrugging his shoulders off her, "Still two, since I was not in any trouble." She turned her gold gaze to him, and stilled. She took a step back and lazily ran her eyes over him, not hiding what she was doing.
Smirking he opened his arms to her inspection, "Want me to turn around for you to? I mean my behind is just as good as my front."
Not paying him any mind, and Shippo completely forgotten. Between the two men, wolf boy was defiantly the most battle worn then the baby faced shippo thought they are the same size. Looking at his face, his eyes were not just a green and brown, those words were to simple. His right eye was green the color of the leaves on her favorite tree, and his left was the deep brown of the bark, they produced the same calming feeling in her that the tree did, even with the arrogance shining through. His hair was pulled into a pointy tail on the top of his head and the shade of dark auburn and the sun put light streaks of dark brown. His face was worn in, but not in a bad way, it gives him an experienced look about him; there was nothing child like about him. His body was muscular, and skin was kissed by the sun. Unlike like Shippo, Wolf Boy was really comfortable in his skin, since he was showing a lot of it. His only clothes was a pelt skin skirt, and fur gauntlets on his shins. Raising her brow she looked closer at his skirt fur thing and was wondering if that was a tail sticking out or part of the pelts.
Finishing her assessment of him Rena looked back into his eyes. "so-so"
"I am still here you know!" Shippo shouted fuming at the two, "And how do you know Akio?"
As if finally realizing they weren't alone they both turned and looked at the almost purple Shippo. Rena sighed and rubbed her face as if the frustration would go away. "I do not need to tell you anything," turning around she looked at both men over her shoulders, "I am really late, and since you are noisy Shippo. I owe him my life twice over." Turning around she continued along the path towards her home.
Waiting till she was a good enough distance away Akio turned towards Shippo who was watching where Rena walked away," She is not Kagome you know." Shrugging he flexed his shoulders back, getting the stiffness out.
Whipping his head back, fixing green eyes filled with menace on Akio, "I know that, but she smells just like her." and just like that the tension seemed to rush out of Shippo at the though of his foster mother. " I know she looks nothing like her, but at least I know a little piece of her is walking around and that I can see."
Warily looking at Shippo, "You sound like you are gonna obsess over her," turning around to walk back into the dark part of the forest he came from, " a little bit of advice from man to boy, she does not belong on a pedestal.", with those parting words Akio walked away leaving Shippo to himself.
Shippo took one last determined look towards the path that Rena took, "I won't let you go a second time."
