The Encounter
Kagome coughed out the salty water as she rubbed her chest to ease out the pain of her wheezing lungs and she took a deep breath to inhale the much needed air. Rubbing her eyes she scanned her surroundings and she gasped to find herself all alone in a beach with a three limbed bluish crab waltzing nearby..
WAIT!
Three limbed blue crab...
She did a double take yet her previous observations remained intact.
'Okay. This is strange.' she mused to herself.
She temporarily brushed the deformed crab aside as she stretched her limbs and opened her mouth to yawn. Or so she had thought of doing if she hadn't been distracted by an eight feet five limbed green crab approaching her, rather with an impressive speed.
' This island has some serious issues with crabs.'
Kagome would have screamed this out loud, hadn't she been running further into the island, away from the crab, at a speed that would have made Sesshomaru proud. But this crab thing seemed to be a determined predator.
Who knew a crab could crawl at the speed of an ostrich?
Kagome now surely did.
" HELP!" the poor soon to be prey screamed but her screams fell on deaf ears.
'Great. Of all possible incidents, my gravestone has to be carved with -Perished by a twisted crab. What an embarrassing way to die!' she mused as her legs slowly gave out and she stumbled on a tree root, landing on the ground not so gently.
" This is the end of Kagome Higurashi. May you rest in peace." Kagome sighed as she waited patiently for her assassin to slice her to death.
She shut her eyelids tightly as she waited for the deathly blow.
"IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!"
That made Kagome open her eyes only to meet the sight of the corpse of the unappealing creature floating on its pool of blood.
" I am so never gonna have crab anymore." Kagome mused to herself.
"Keh wench daydreaming in such a situation."
Kagome glanced up to find a figure looming over her but she couldn't spot the face as the figure was careful enough to hide itself in the darkness of the thick forest.
" Who are you? Show yourself." Kagome mumbled, tearing her eyes away from the still unfriendly creature to the direction of her saviour.
" Keh. The last thing I want is a woman fainting on me." the figure replied, not so politely.
" Huh? Are you deformed as well?"
"What!"
" Please sir do me the owner of exposing yourself to me. If I can stand the thought of a monstrous five limbed crab chasing me to death, trust me your appearance wont make much of an impact either."
" Keh! Cant say I hadn't warned you."
Kagome waited patiently as her saviour stepped out of the shadow and her eyes widened at the sight before her eyes.
Her reaction didn't go unnoticed as his triangular ears flattened against his head, preparing for the scream that was about to be heard from the woman.
'Here it goes again'. He sighed.
The woman did scream but...
"KAWAI!"
The birds flew from nearby trees as his jaw hit the ground hard.
Silence.
The figure blushed as Kagome continued to adore his ears.
"Wh...what?" He squeaked.
" May I please rub your ears?"
"Keh. Stupid wench."
" Excuse me. I have a name you know. Its Kagome. Ka-go-me!" she jabbed her finger on his chest.
" Whatever." he mumbled.
"So...?" Kagome stretched wanting him to finish it.
"Huh?"
Kagome sighed.
" May I be graced with the knowledge of your name?"
" Keh. Its Inuyasha." he replied blushingly.
