Rancid
Kagome reclined back into the uncomfortably hard train-bench, leaning her head against the window as she watched the scenery rush past, her heavy backpack pressed into her leg.
In the distance she could see the outdoor overhead of the station, loudly proclaiming what stop it was, and she was thankful for the sight; turning her noise closer to the window so she could breath in the smell of fresh air that was rushing in though the crack.
Even if she hadn't seen the stop, she'd have known she was in the right place from the sweet scent of the breeze that so easily overpowered the rancid smell of the trashcans that were pined by the exits.
After so long in the past, Kagome couldn't easily abide the smells of the city; they were just too strong compared to back then. So really, she was more than a little grateful to be traveling out to see the Wolf tribe; even with it's danger, it was the first chance she'd received since the well had closed to remove herself from the city.
The shine sat stop Tokyo of course, there but distinctly separated, and yet it couldn't even completely banish the city enough for her to feel at home.
And besides, if anyone knew danger, it was Kagome Higurashi. So as the train rolled to a stop with an ear-piercing squeal, She shouldered her bag and stepped out onto the platform without hesitation.
It would take more than a few wild Youkai to scare off the Shikon no Miko.
Note: Sorry this didn't get updated sooner today; I had another minor surgery this afternoon and was sleeping off the anesthesia. This was my Third of Five, so thankfully, I'm almost done with them all, and will be completely healed up and doing just fine soon.
