Chapter 2! I have the whole story written already but if anyone is interested in giving me idea's for future stories then I would love to have them.
Kagome continued on with her life, cherishing every day after that god had let her live. She didn't know why he had wanted to kill her, but he had decided against it. She wished she could see him again, so she could thank him properly without sobbing. A blush blossomed on her face at the thought. It was kind of embarassing.
"Something bothering you, Kagome-sama?" Miroku asked her, startling the girl from her daydreaming.
"What-No! I-I was just-ummm...thinking about….all of my homework!" Kagome stuttered out, she couldn't tell him about her god.
"Homework?" He didn't sound convinced, in fact he had a smirk on his face.
"Yes!" Kagome huffed and walked faster, Miroku chuckling.
As the group settled down for the night, they were in the woods in a small clearing. Inuyasha heading out to secure the perimeter and hunt for dinner. Sango set to sharpening hiraikotsu and Miroku was sipping from a sake jug he managed to swipe from a rescued traveler earlier that day. The area was plagued by a band of demons, killing lone travelers and eating them. Kagome shivered, how disgusting. Once Inuyasha returned he presented three rabbits for dinner.
"Thank you." Kagome smiled to him.
"Feh, just be ready to move out by dawn." He crossed his arms over his chest. The battle for the Shikon was drawing near, he could feel it.
"Okay." Kagome rolled her eyes.
It was much later that night, the moon was high in the sky and provided enough light for her to see everyone was sleeping. An eerie feeling encompassed her, something was wrong. She stood quietly, maneuvering the kit in her sleeping bag so she wouldn't disturb him. Grabbing the red longbow of mount azusa, she ran. It was purely instincts that drove her, she didn't know why but she felt like she had to go. She broke the tree line and an almost full moon shone down on the grass, a battlefield greeted her eyes. Yokai were surrounding someone, the clearing smelled like death, the coppery tang of blood covered her tongue. A katana cut through a demon and her eyes widened. It was her kami. He was here, and covered in blood.
She didn't hesitate, with three arrows in her grasp, she fired one after another. Sacred arrows ripped through the field, turning every demon they touched to glittering silver ash. All eyes were on her as she unleashed a barrage of arrows, painful howls filled the air as over half the attacking group was purified.
"Miko!" It was a screech, she was used to hearing it.
The one who sounded the alarm had his head separated from his body. Kagome grasping her last arrow and letting it fly true, past her kami and into the chest of a lizard yokai. He easily dispatched the last three. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, the adrenaline from the battle and the way his cold eyes fell heavily onto her. She took a deep breath and she bowed deeply.
"Thank you." She stood from her bow and yelped. He was right in front of her. "Umm…" She watched him for any sign of emotion.
"You are strange." He spoke and she furrowed her brows.
"You're strange." She snapped back, he blinked and she blushed. "Sorry,"
"No, I presume I am." He looked down. "Thank you," He mumbled and Kagome giggled.
"That wasn't much of a thank you." She bent over to catch his eye. "But think of it as a life for a life, though I don't think you needed my help."
He watched her as she rambled. Saying he was god and such, though no one had ever given him assistance in battle. This little slip of a miko that he was sent to kill had this much purification energy. She easily purified yokai that a lesser god would have had trouble with. She stopped suddenly and her eyes scanned the woods, sapphire connected with electric blue.
"You need to leave," Kagome looked at him. "Please." Her eyes were pleading.
He was gone in the blink of an eye, Inuyasha bursting through the treeline. Kagome held her bow behind her and force a smile on her face. He then continued to scream at her for being so reckless and demanding to know who else was here. She denied that anyone had helped her, though there was proof of someone wielding a katana. Kagome was adamant and refused to give up any information to the angry half demon. Yato watching from the tree line, he narrowed his eyes at the way the hanyou treated the priestess. She could easily dispatch him, he watched as she snapped.
"SIT!" The black haired priestess huffed and left the dog where he was forced into the dirt.
Yato raised a brow, she was capable of subjugation spells as well? What a powerful little priestess.
