Chapter 12
Kagome tried her best at stalking her prey quietly. She was not trained, but that was beside the point. Her biggest fault against the daiyoukai was her humanity[MP1] , and she wasn't capable of changing that, so the options left were: hiding her scent—with lots of flowers tied to her clothes; hiding her aura—that meant doing nothing since she wasn't so strong; remaining silent, which meant no shoes with her hair tied into a bun so it wouldn't get stuck while not breathing.
Not breathing was proving to be the hardest of them all. Oh, and her tummy, which was in the exact place between digesting her earlier meal and getting hungry again.
This was so well thought out that it just couldn't go wrong.
They had stopped in a boring space in the forest between two maple-trees and then the almighty lord had said he needed to attend to something personal. Was he dismissing her? No…he left to wander, and do something…somewhere.
Personal? Did he have a personal life? Impossible. He was so lordly that she was sure there was little space for something personal…and the curiosity was killing her.
She knew they had made a pact. They were together for her to share her knowledge, the same way he had lent Jaken to Inuyasha for the same purpose, but why did she have to do this? She was her own person, and she had her needs. She was not Inuyasha's tool or an exchange item.
She was Kagome, and Kagome needed to know, so she ventured deeper after him. She grinned as she reached a hot spring, and almost whispered but stopped herself and thought it instead. 'Someday I'll at least have one of your royal secrets carefully hidden and protected under my skin, and I will be sure to use it at the perfect moment.'
