What Happened
The brown eyed priestess barely had time to react before she hit the cool surface of the aqua blue pool, it's cold depths quickly engulfed her, and welcomed her by trying to take away her last breath.
However, she, nor the red eyed half demon were about to let that happen.
*...*
Midnight blue hair was swept off, and tossed over covered shoulders. Thick black lashes laced closed as a forced smile sneaked into soft lips.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" the dark brown haired demon slayer asked worriedly. Sango could tell something was off. Kagome had been giving her friends quick forced smiles, as the seldom sneaked into her eyes, all day long. Her downwards attitude is an aberration and is scaring her friends.
Kagome opened wide brown topaz orbs and quickly shook her hands in front of her. "N-nothing's wrong with me. I am... perfectly fine." was that bitterness in her tone?
Ayame -the flame haired wolf girl who had been walking right beside Kagome- knew oh to well what was bothering her friend. Hah! As if those little sighs, and the far away look in Kagome's eyes weren't enough to give it away.
"Wo oh, Sango, our little caged bird here is experiencing boy problems." Ayame spoke with a hint of mischief in her tone. Sango gasped, then gave Kagome a serious look. "Crew meeting. Right now."
Kagome sighed, oh, here they go.
'Crew meeting' meant the trio having a clandestine liaison in the janitor closet.
*.*
Sango shut the door gently behind her. Her chocolate brown orbs directed in Kagome's direction. Ayame stood by the right wall(from the door's POV) with folded arms and an impatient finger tapping her upper arm.
"Speak, now." Sango demanded excitedly, Ayame smiled, Kagome sighed. In the end, she was coerced into spilling everything that had happened two weeks ago.
*Two weeks ago*
Water splashed, and droplets dripped as a girl in her high school uniform sprouted from the rippling surface of the pool. She was no novice in the swimming department. She free-styled her way to the edge of the pool, placed her hands on the edge, bent her elbows, and lifted herself up, then swung her legs over.
She laid there- breathing, no, gasping for air- on the ledge of some stranger's pool who had conveniently been neighbors with an abandoned building she had been taken to.
Her limbs ached, and her body felt heavy as she slowly pulled herself up. Just then, a figure landed in front of her, his eyes matching the bright crimson robes clothing him.
She furrowed her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes. "You're a demon now? That makes no sense, you were a half demon just a second ago." The miko was surprised at how composed her tone sounded, how she was able to find the strength to remain calm in the presence of a now full dog demon was beyond her. Nonetheless, she liked the bravery and strength surging in her chest.
The silver haired demon grinned, though most would assume it to be an evil grin, it was actually a well satisfied one.
"Kagome." Kagome felt a shiver run down her spinal cord at the way he mentioned her name. That deep tone, it was, cold, yet, seductive. "You really are the perfect one."
Kagome's eyes widened. Huh?
The Inu fell to the ground with a loud thump.
Now was her chance! Kagome could kill her kidnapper this very instant.
The miko warily approached the passed out Inu on the ground, pink sparks shining in her right hand. Just the right amount of force with her purification powers, and the half demon would die, or at least wound him.
But why is she hesitating? Was this not the half demon who kidnapped her? Why is she stopping on her tracks? Why can't she do it?
Kagome shook out the hesitation inside of her, she sat down on her knees in front of him. Something sparked inside of her, a huge pink light engulfed her hand, electricity & energy formed the bright pink orb on her right hand once more. The hand sparking with purification energy approached the chest of the dog eared half demon, near the heart area.
Her hand touched the red cloth but nothing happened. Kagome was confused, why hadn't her powers been able to reach through the cloth?
Could it be the red cloth was some sort of armor?
She sighed irritably. She edged closer, then shakingly opened the robes on the Inu's chest. Her right hand was once more a blinding pink orb full of energy. She smacked her hand on to the heart area on the half demon's chest, causing him to immediately awaken with a roar of pain. Kagome pressed her hand even further, a determined look on her face. The Inu frowned, a low growl rumbled in his throat. His left hand shakingly reached up and grabbed her right wrist, causing the purifying energy in the hand to disappear.
Kagome inwardly gasped as the Inu sat up, golden eyes blazing with anger, her wrist still being held harshly by his clawed hand. She tries to stand up to run away but the Inu quickly stood up as well and pulled her by her wrist towards him. "Keh! I try to save you from falling to your death, and this is how you thank me?"
Kagome narrows her eyes, a frown edging her lips, "I did not need your saving! As you can see, I know how to expertly dive & swim."
"How was I supposed to know that?" the Inu..was blushing?
Kagome couldn't help the small laugh that escaped her lips. The poor Inu was immensely embarrassed, and the laughing Kagome wasn't making things better. "Shad up." he said grudgingly.
"Oh but this is too funny! This is really, a strange dream." Kagome said causing the Inu to raise a silver eyebrow. She began walking away casually while still talking, "Imagine, Kagome Higurashi gets kidnapped by a half demon-" "Name's Inuyasha."
"A half demon named Inuyasha," Kagome continues, "I jump from an eight story building, land into a pool, try to kill my kidnapper, who apparently cares enough for me that he would try to save me. Hmm my life would make a great anime, or even a book."
"Hey! This isn't a dream ya know?!"
"An impudent half demon named Inuyasha. What's next? Does it turn out he's some sort of prince?" Kagome wondered.
"That- that's actually kind of true.." Inuyasha muttered. Kagome glanced over her shoulder. She opened her mouth to say something, but before she could, a bright blinding beam of light shined on both of them. "There momma! I told you I heard a strange noise!" "Kyoko, run inside and dial the police number. Tell them that dog demons are invading!"
"Shi*" Inuyasha cursed. Kagome's eyes widened. Of course this wasn't a dream, sigh, and she had tried so hard to convince herself.
Loud sirens -crying from a long distance-reached the sensitive ears of Inuyasha. He growled in frustration, causing the women - standing by the backyard door to her house- to shake.
Inuyasha quickly picked up Kagome by her waist and through her over his shoulder. Kagome began punching his back, "Hey! You can't just carry me around like a sack of potatoes! I'll hit you with my purifying energy if you don't put me down!" she warned. Inuyasha rolled his golden orbs, he knew she wouldn't do it.
Kagome wouldn't attempt to kill someone if she found out there was good left in that someone. Though they knew each other for a short amount of time, Inuyasha could tell, she just wasn't that type of person.
Inuyasha couldn't help but admire her, just a tiny bit. "You got guts, priestess, I'll give you that much." was what he said before he jumped up into the night, hopping from roof to roof.
