Chapter 6
It was a bright, beautiful morning. Inuyasha was lounging in a tree somewhere and Kagome, well she's been picking herbs and talking with herself, again. Today's topic: that night.
*sigh* 'I just don't understand Inuyasha, I mean he could have easily gotten out of my grasp that night, and could have easily killed me too if he wanted. I'm a priestess for goodness sake! That should be all the reason he needs, I purify-slash-kill his kind, well not really HIS kind, but anyway, he had the perfect opportunity to do so ...yet, why didn't he? Arghh! This is so confusing. One minute you think you know the guy as arrogant, selfish, a huge pain in the behind, the list goes on, and then he surprises you by staying with you for the night JUST because you were afraid of the thunderstorm. *sigh* Anyway, I should hurry up, Kikyo and I have a sparring session.' And so she switched to 'work mode', all thoughts of a certain half-breed stored at the back of her mind for further discussion. In fact, she was got so into her task that she didn't notice the eerily quiet forest nor did she notice the multiple glowing red eyes until-
"GRAAAHH!" a demon flew out of the bushes and rushed towards Kagome. Unfortunately for the demon, Kagome had quick reflexes and dodged it, grabbing her bow and arrows from one of the trees near by in the process. She put the herbs on the ground, aimed her arrow and-
"Take this, demon!" she shouted, letting the arrow charged with pink miko energy fly towards the demon. The vile beast, knowing it was no match, began to go the other way but failed as the arrow disintegrated it upon impact.
'That'll teach 'em. If you want a surprise attack, don't yell.' She smugly thought. But her pride was quickly diminished as a horde of demons suddenly revealed themselves and attacked her.
Kagome stood still for a while, getting over the shock, but forced her self to snap out of it as she bravely and quickly fought them, launching arrow after arrow at the charging demons. But even a priestess of her level would find it hard to fend off a barrage of flying and walking demons. Luckily for her, the large youki attracted another demon or should I say half-demon.
In the forest...
Inuyasha was up in a tree somewhere, replaying the events of that night and having the same problem as Kagome.
' I don't understand, I could have easily gotten out of that wench's grasp that night, and I could have easily killed her too...yet, why didn't I? That was my decision, right? To kill her and leave this place forever? Arghh! This is so confusing. And I don't understand her at all, any ordinary human, especially a priestess, would have been more scared of me than a stupid thunderstorm and would've attacked me upon realizing what I was-'
'But she's no ORDINARY human, is she?' his demon cut in.
'Fuck off! - wait, isn't that Kagome's scent? And what's with this large concentration of youki? I gotta get to the bottom of this, Kagome might be in danger.' He thought and bounded off to the said priestess's location.
'Oh no, I'm running out of arrows!' Kagome thought frantically as she notched another arrow but in her rush, she accidentally dropped it leaving herself open to the attacking demons. As a last resort, she created a pink barrier and covered her face with her arms. But the lizard demon, green disgusting thing it maybe, was stronger than it looked and broke through the barrier! Kagome as sure this was it when- "TETSUSAIGA!"- then…blood was spilled.
It all happened so fast for Kagome. One moment there was a lizard demon charging toward her, mouth agape and ready to eat her, then the next a certain silver-haired hanyou with an incredibly big sword cut straight through it as if it was freaking paper!, the demon's splattered blood adding to the "heroic moment" according to Kagome's mind.
The said demon fell to the ground in two pieces, dead, as the other demons stopped to see the new comer.
"Keh, I thought you were stronger than that, wench." The hanyou scoffed.
Snapping out of her reverie, the priestess couldn't believe who it was "I-Inuyasha?" 'Here comes another surprise, never knew he actually used that demonic sword of his nor did I know that he was this strong.'
"In the flesh, wench." Said Inuyasha.
"Any way, seems like you're just like all wenches after all, you all need a man's protection." He mockingly added.
The priestess huffed out indignantly at the hanyou's words. "That's the reason this village of women exists, to get away from that ridiculously big male ego!"
"But I, a male, just saved you, a wench. You do need males."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Hmph! Just you watch, Inuyasha." With that said she brought down her barrier and laid her bow and empty quiver next to the herbs and pulled out a small sword with a longer hilt than the blade.
She spun it around a few times on her hand and around her back, each spin elongating the 'sword' until finally Kagome stopped it in front of her revealing that it was actually a spear (a.k.a Hakudoshi's spear thingy). She charged it with miko energy, making it glow a bright pink color, and sliced with great precision and grace the first demon that attacked from the previously frozen horde.
*Inuyasha's POV*
I watched her, the grace and power that she displayed on her first strike; she was like my brother, Sesshomaru. 'The only difference is that she's a real girl and not an eye shadow wearing, full blooded demon.' I thought and snickered inwardly. She was a mixture of beauty and grace. She was cute and, well, womanly (would have used girly, but she isn't really a girl anymore) but when the need arises, she can kick ass. 'Wait, had I just been praising her? Argh! Why does this keep happening to me?!'
*Normal POV*
Kagome sliced and diced as she charged, she was now in the middle of the fight, demons coming from all directions. That was when she heard his battle cry, he sliced his way through and soon, they were back to back in the center of the horde.
"Oi, wench, what do you think you're doing?! Stay back and let me handle this!" shouted Inuyasha over the roaring of demons .
"I can handle it, Inuyasha! Me and my sister, Kikyo are the leaders of a village of warrior women and its also the reason why I ain't married yet. So just…*slice*stay…*stab* out…*purify* of my…*slash* way!" she retorted.
"Keh, you're a stubborn woman, you know that? And what do you mean 'this is the reason you ain't married yet'?"
"I'm well aware of that, and we'll talk about that later, right now I-"
"-we" Inuyasha corrected as Kagome smiled gratefully.
"-we have a village to protect." She corrected as Inuyasha watched in awe at the woman beside him. The first woman he saw charge into battle and with demons no less.
'She just won't stop surprising me.' He thought and smiled inwardly.
While they were simultaneously talking and killing, the demons were getting more aggressive, enrage by the fact that they we're treating them like small fry.
As Kagome and Inuyasha fought, they noticed that there seemed to be no end to it as the dead demon's blood attracted more of their kind. As Kagome eventually weakened and grew fatigued, Inuyasha had to protect her, but one can only last so long fighting demons and at the same time protecting someone. He still persisted, though until finally…
"Gah!" Kagome exclaimed as one of the demons, a panther demon, managed to run its claws through her right shoulder.
"Kagome!" shouted Inuyasha as he lifted her into his arms and carried her bridal style. He made it out of the fray with one graceful leap and landed beside her discarded bow and quiver.
"I told you you should have let me handle it." Inuyasha said tenderly, which surprised both him and the woman in his arms.
'Did he just speak tenderly to me a-and called me Kagome…?' "Are you sick or something, Inuyasha?"
"Keh, no!" he replied and after making sure she would be safe, looked at the advancing horde and turned serious.
"Now" he began. "stay here and let me handle this. You've already proven that you're strong; now let me show you what I'm capable of."
"Then what am I supposed to do here? Stand and look pretty? Kagome retorted as she snapped out of her daze.
"No, you should shut up and let me protect you!" Inuyasha countered. And without waiting for a reply, sped off towards the demons and began slicing them to bits leaving a stunned Kagome behind.
"RAAAAH!" shouted Inuyasha and soon enough, he finished off almost half of the horde and things seemed to be lighting up for him, but unfortunately the blood shed was so plentiful and the stench and youki so concentrated that it attracted the biggest demon of them all, a dragon. Its scales were a sparkling jade color while the hair on its back was a beautiful yellow and its eyes were as azure as the sky, one might even stare at the creature for its beauty rather than to run away instantly.
"So it finally came out to play, huh?" the half-demon said smugly. He had been sensing the dragon's youki for a while and it wasn't much, just a little more powerful than the rest. Simply put it, it was made for beauty not battle. Anyway, he finally finished the annoying horde and turned to the dragon.
"Inuyasha be careful!" shouted Kagome.
"Keh, like this puny demon can defeat me!"
'Unbelievable!' "Don't be so arrogant, you baka!"
"I'm not a baka! Wen-" He wasn't able to finish as the dragon attempted a tackle which he avoided easily.
He smelled Kagome's blood loss and knew that he had to hurry, so he used his signature attack.
"WIND SCAR!" he shouted as five claw like marks of youki made its way to the dragon and in a flash, it was gone.
Inuyasha turned around to a once again stunned but bloody Kagome. He leaped toward her and carried her bridal style yet again.
"I told you I could handle it." Said Inuyasha smugly, smirking at the woman in his arms.
"Just shut up and get me to Sango." Kagome said indignantly as she looked away and pouted.
As Kagome and Inuyasha made their way back by leaping through the trees, our familiar hanyou thought some unfamiliar words. The words were so unfamiliar that he even forgot to contradict himself.
'She sure is cute when she pouts.'
And done! Please tell me if its good or bad or even horrible. I think Im loosing my touch, stupid inspiration! COME TO ME, DAMMIT! *sobs quietly*
Kag: Anyway dont forget to review. Come on, ikl, its ok. *rubs me back soothingly*
