Inuyasha crossover Saiunkoku Monogatari
Chapter 12: Not Dead
Left on her own in the realm he created, Kagome was told by her teacher to practice her skills and given a few new higher leveled medicines to practice creating as she was left on her own to figure it out. The complicated amount of heat needed for each of the ingredients, the time needed for each of it and when to combine them or opening the medicine container where she creates both her medicine and poison.
She growled out in frustration, annoyed that she is unable to get it after having used up so many of the ingredients that she is practically lacking in some to continue figuring out how to create those new pills. Taking a deep breath, Kagome stood suddenly as she went outside of her medicine room to take a few moments to calm her frustration down. There should not be anything wrong with the things that she had done so far, but no matter how hard she had tried, she was pushed backwards whenever her medicine either burnt or destroyed one way or another.
Buying herbs that is needed is one thing, some other things that she needs as well in daily necessity, and then the rest that she could not buy, she had to go forage for it from various locations.
"I thought you would never turn up," Sakujun says, falling into steps beside of her with a smile upon her lips as he walked alongside of her at her speed.
Kagome did not say a thing as she glances over at him, choosing instead to treat him as though he is just another person passing by the street. Somehow one way or another, he is almost always able to find her from the few times that she makes an appearance in this world, even if it is in various other locations around the other provinces.
"What do you want," she asked him in annoyance when he kept sticking close to her, not planning to leave her side as he tried to draw her attention with various small talks.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to spend more time with you," he told her with an attractively charming smile that would have cause any female's heart to flutter like a humming bird's wings.
However, that was not working on Kagome as she did not look at him or paid him much attention, going on ahead as she continued to shop for things that she would need.
"You are not returning home," he said, making the observation from the things that she bought "Where are you planning on going," he asked her almost strictly concern of her movements.
"Somewhere far,"
Sakujun frown, "It's not safe for a woman like you to travel alone," he told her in a-matter-of-fact tone as he held her from going on forward by grabbing of her hand.
Kagome looked at him with a frown and did not reaction for a while, but later drew her hand back and out of his grip immediately as she glared at him from beneath her veiled bamboo hat.
"I've been doing that long before you started finding it your business," Kagome hissed at him in a low tone, pushing the other away as she glanced at her surrounding.
She turned her head away from him as she continued down the market place, looking through the shops as she find things that she would need on her soon to come travel.
"I'm going with you," Sakujun told her firmly as he caught up with her, grabbing her hands again, only this time he did not allow her to draw her hand back, forcefully grabbing it as followed on by her side.
"Stop being willful Young Master Lin!" Kagome scolded him breaking her hand out of his strong grip as she left, quickly losing the mood now to buy some dry goods to carry along with her should she be needing on her planned trip.
"No, you stop being willful," he told her fiercely, his eyes serious, as he did not allow her to leave his side, following after her quickly as he walked by her side.
"What I do have nothing to do with you, spare me the need to take care of you Young Master Lin, and leave me alone," Kagome growled at him, disappearing from his sight almost immediately.
Sakujun gnashed his teeth as he followed after her as far as he could, but seeing that he was not sure of where she is, he returned to where the portal is that parts her from this world to the other, and waited there for her return. Instead, it was her exit that he found her to be at another location and had to rushed over there without much words, only cursing about it in his mind as he focus his mind on the roads to try reaching her as fast as he could.
'Demons,' he thought out in surprise, getting in his way as they blocked his path towards Kagome.
Eyes narrowed with bloodlust, Sakujun was quick to get into a fighting mode as he attacked the demons that launched themselves at him ferociously. It is still day, and it surprises him how they seem are active at this timing. From what he had heard in the past, they are more active in the night, hunting and killing, but never in the day.
At Kagome's side, she too was having a hard time on her own, standing her ground as she used her long dormant abilities as a miko in purifying off the attacking demons that are targeting her. It feels like no matter the era, it was just as impossible for her to ever avoid danger and some times certain types of males as well. And just because of that momentarily shift of attention, she had left herself to be open for an attack, barely dodging it, she got herself a rather deep gash on her arm as she bite back a cry of pain.
Blood dribbled down her arm as it soaked through her sleeves, where it bloomed into crimson blood flowers. She held onto her weapon tightly afraid of letting it go, and regretting that she had not found or made herself a bow and arrow, something that she is more accustomed to in the past as a tool to channel her purifying abilities better.
"I told you it's not safe to travel on your own," Sakujun grumbled with annoyance as he stood behind of her, their back facing one another as they fought off those demons around of them.
"I'm perfectly fine," she growled enunciating each word, not taking her eyes off the demons attacking her as she slashes at them with mild difficulty due to her injured arm.
Sakujun only spared her a glance of annoyance at her obvious stubbornness. He would have rolled his eyes at it or tease her about it, but with their current situation, even he knows that it is not the right time for it.
Kagome is perhaps the first few that really pushes his button and usually at the first dot, he would have them killed immediately for just doing those, and Kagome is as alive and kicking as can be and the very opposite of being dead.
