Kagome stood in the front of the 'army' she and Inuyasha had gathered. Inuyasha stood on her left, Miroku to the hanyou's left, and Sango on her right. The assembled 'army' held anything and everything from large branches to intricately designed swords that silently screamed they were stolen property. Kohaku hovered in air on Kirara, his weapon at the ready. In the last spot on the right in the front row was Kaede, arrow notched and ready for being fired. Kagome held her bow down, hoping to be able to make peace with words. She realized that her efforts were most likely futile but at least it was a try. Inuyasha was ready to hack them to bits.
The sounds of marching soldiers and clop of hooves grew closer, sending even more tension through the gathered villagers. A samurai dashed a head of the crowd, scroll in hand.
"We are not here for war," he began loudly. "Our Hiro Akio-sama wishes to speak with the miko known as Kagome-sama." His eyes flicked to Inuyasha. "Make sure your dog behaves himself." The samurai snickered before backing into the crowd.
"Ah, Kagome-sama, it is so wonderful to see you." He hopped down from the horse, walking over to the suspicious miko. "Miko-sama, have you considered the deal I offered you the other day at dinner? Or, have you been so embarrassed that you dare not think about. Well your answer Kagome-sama?"
"Hiro-sama-"
"Akio-kun is okay."
"Um, Akio-sama, I am married already, and have been for some time. It is very disrespectful of you to suggest the things that you. My answer is no, that is final."
"Poor Kagome-chan," he whispered, " You're married to a monster that has hypnotized you into believing that you love it." He turned to his army, ready to order them to attack when out of the corner of his eye he saw something ever more beautiful than Kagome-sama and in Akio's mind, that was a difficult feat to achieve.
Kagome's eyes turned to where she heard the pitter-patter of bare feet slapping earth. It was Rin! She was doing her best to run to them in her kimono. She was panting slightly, a sheen of sweat on her brow.
"Now that's what I call beauty." Everyone's eyes turned to Akio, who's eyes were focused on Rin. "Kagome, the deal is off. I want her."
Please read the next chapter before you tell get all upset over the fact Rin is 11.
Akio means glorious man or glorious hero, glorious hero is the meaning I picked. I picked this for the Irony of it. Akio is his first name, Hiro is his last.
Hiro is a unisex name and can mean 1)abundant 2)generous, tolerant or 3)prosperous. I picked definition 2 because he is very "generous", I mean very flirty. -.-
