The monster was an absurdly large insect bearing large pincers that snapped together like tongs used to pick up barbecued hot dogs. "I am the Stenchscreamer!" He, well, screamed, mouth expelling the horrible smell of rotting flesh and soured milk.
"Bring me a hero I can pinch to pieces!" Stenchscreamer cackled.
"Give me a break." She muttered, watching as Genos stood in front of the hoard of shoppers protectively.
Fitting, she thought, watching as Genos loudly commanded the nearby civilians to get a safe distance away. His gold eyes flickered over to her, "Kagome, what are you doing there?"
Her brow twitched. "I didn't bring any arrows!"
"Why not?"
"I was going to the supermarket, not fight club!" She exclaimed, fighting the urge to rip off his robot arms and feed it to him. Hero or not, this dude was irritating. She was just going to let him take care of it. He seemed quite capable of handling the threat on his own.
From beside her, a little boy gasped, "That's the Demon Cyborg! He's so cool."
So he wasn't a robot? Kagome thought that him being a cyborg made much more sense. He was sort of still a human. Calling him a demon was still sort of a stretch. If anything, he was more like a weed... kept popping back up. She really had to ask Souta about all this stuff. He was a bit of a fanboy for these superheros. She couldn't really see the appeal in—
"Kagome! Watch out!"
Her eyes widened, just as the Stenchscreamer came barreling towards her. In a split-second decision, she scooped the young child into her arms and dove out of harm's way. The concrete where the pincers connected exploded beneath the force.
She was aware of the burning in her knee from crashing into the ground but pushed herself to stand up, cradling the child towards her. "A-Are you okay, Miss?" He squeaked.
"Yeah, don't worry about me." said Kagome, even attempting a smile. It seemed to calm him enough that he gesticulated wildly to the monster as it turned back towards them, alerting her of the danger.
"I so do like pretty girls!" roared the monster. "Come to me, my sweet!"
"Ew, as if." She grimaced, sincerely wishing that she'd brought her bow. From her peripherals, she noticed Genos' arm begin to glow, which indicated he was probably about to strike. She had to get out of the way before he did whatever he was about to do.
Kagome set the boy down to his feet, pointing to a group further away that'd keep him safe. "Go there." The kid obeyed and she turned back to the monster, just in time for him to dash towards her, giant legs clomping on the asphalt.
She yelped, narrowly avoiding those giant pincers as they grabbed for her. "Get a day job, you creep!" If it weren't for constantly evading death in feudal Japan, she wasn't certain she'd have been able to dodge this monster. She just couldn't understand why she of all people had been targeted. Genos was actually glowing right now. Wasn't he far more noticeable?
And where had Saitama gone anyways?!
Kagome pushed her hair back from her face, noting that Genos had disappeared as well. "Some hero he is." She said, wincing when her toe collided with a downed parking meter on a long metal pole. It was no bow, but it'd have to do. She snatched it up, widening her stance as she imitated the way InuYasha had once taught her how. Half-demon or not, she had to try.
She swung, allowing the pole to connect with the monster's skull. Stenchscreamer didn't budge. Maybe she'd overstepped her bounds this time around. As she raised the pole to land another futile hit, a gleaming light erupted behind her, so radiant that her eyes watered and then someone grabbed her, causing her to drop the pole.
"Let go!" She said immediately, attempting to wrestle free, landing a punch on her unknown assailant. As soon as her fist connected, a dull ringing resounded all the way to her ears. "Wait... Genos?"
"Are you injured?" He asked, completely ignoring her attempts at batting him away. "It was foolish of you to engage in combat with the Stenchscreamer."
Kagome realized far too late that he had her in his arms, cradling her to his chest like he was in some kind of superhero movie. Her face went red, "What about the—?"
"Sensei has already taken care of the monster." said Genos.
She crossed her arms over her chest. "You can put me down now."
"Not yet." He said.
Her eyes narrowed, "Why not?"
Genos ceased moving, waiting a total of three seconds before something akin to déjà vu occurred.
Disgusting, fleshy bits began to rain from the sky, all the same colour as the nasty monster that had just terrorized them. She shrieked, covering her eyes as a large eyeball landed on the ground in front of her.
The cyborg still didn't appear fazed but he wordlessly kicked the eyeball away, letting it roll off into an opened manhole. She didn't care where it went, just as long as it was out of sight.
Kagome tilted her head back, watching as Saitama, now wearing a gaudy yellow suit and red cape, straightened up with downturned eyes. There was no such indication that he'd done anything until she saw his fist still raised as it smoked.
Her breath hitched. Just how strong was he?
Nars: Real shit tho, Lee is mine, I'll fight all of you for him.
Review pls :^)
