Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha however, I have recently found a dollar in my purse of DOOM! who would've thought that I would have money in there....
A woman's scream echoed through the forest. Sagaku panicked. He was sooo dead! Not only would Kagome be furious with him but Sesshomaru as well. Why was he in so much trouble? It all started this morning while Kagome and him had been sent out to help Keade with her chores.
-flashback-
Kagome and Sagaku walked through the forest at a leisurely pace. They had been sent out to see if they could manage to find a rare herb found in the forest east of Keade's village. As they were walking they began to talk about this and that.
"So Kagome, how are you liking the weather?"
"Eh, it's good. I really hope it stays warm like this, I'm not really a fan of the cold."
"Ha ha! Same here! Because I control fire the cold puts me at a somewhat disadvantage."
"Really. And here I thought that your 'disadvantage' would have been your flirtatious ways." Kagome said reffering to an incindent in which Sagaku had been hitting on a particularly pretty girl before being told that said girl was engaged. Needless to say he was in a sour mood the rest of the day grumbling about 'stupid girls leading him on.' (AN-he's not like Miroku he is just a flirt lol if you've ever seen D.N. Angel, he's like Dark!)
"I am not a flirt!" Sagaku started but at seeing Kagome's expression, he quickly added, "Ok ok at least not all the time! I'm not flirting with you now am I?"
"Well no, not yet anyways."
"Would you rather I start? 'Cause I would be delighted to please such a pretty girl such as yourself."
"Sagaku…you just did…"
"Ha Ha! No I didn't I was merely complimenting you!" Sagaku shot her a brilliant smile! Kagome smiled back.
"Yea, yea whatever."
"So anyways, how was your walk back with Sesshomaru yesterday?"
"Uh…it was good. Oh before I forget, why did you seem so interested in that vision I…"
"Did anything happen between you two? And don't forget I can tell if you lie." Sagaku interrupted, pretending that she never brought up her vision from yesterday.
"Uh…well you see…we um…Why did you interrupt me anyways? What are you hiding?"
"Why are you dodging my question?"
"Why are you avoiding mine!"
"Oh look, maybe this wonderer knows where we should look for this herb." With that said, Sagaku left Kagome open-mouthed at him as he went to talk to the wayward traveler. As luck would have it the traveler knew where to find the herbs and had started to point Sagaku in the correct direction when Kagome screamed. Sagaku whipped around only to realize that Kagome was no longer there.
"SHIT!"
-end of flashback-
Sagaku now frantically searched the area for any signs of the missing miko. Unfortunately, he found none.
"Ok Sagaku, calm down and think. If Kagome was there and I was there then the attacker could have only come from that way? No that wouldn't make sense we're in a forest the attacker could have come from anywhere. OH! Ok, so if I was there and Kagome was there then the attacker couldn't have went past me. Or he did but I didn't see him….GAH! Why did she have to get kidnapped?! Oh wait, heh heh I'll just follow her scent." Sagaku almost smacked himself in the head for not thinking of it earlier.
"Bingo, Sagaku my friend you are a genius." And with that Sagaku took off into the trees following Kagome's scent.
----------
Sagaku finally arrived at a small hut near a river. The place was absolutely breathtaking and if he had time, Sagaku would've taken in the scenery.
"Give me Kagome!"
"Well, well if it isn't the misfit." A woman with shoulder length white hair and dark blue eyes said.
"Yea yea nice to see you too, couldn't be more thrilled now give me Kagome."
"SAGAKU!" Sagaku growled at the fear laced in Kagome's scream.
"Relax, she's not in danger." The mystery woman said.
"Then give her to me and we can go on our way."
"Where's the fun in that?" With that, the mystery lady brought her right hand out to the side and slowly brought it in front of her. As she moved her hand, Kagome came into veiw seemingly being held by a giant hand made out of water.
"Let her go, Tsuna." Sagaku said, glaring at the woman in front of him.
"Who the hell are you to be bossing ME around Sagaku!" Tsuna demanded.
"Still as stuck-up as ever I see. It's good to know that things don't change."
"You know I didn't say that because I was stuck up. You ARE beneith me now because you screwed up."
"Hey Tsuna do me a favor and SHUT THE HELL UP!" Sagaku said as flames engulfed his entire being.
"Bring it on, flame boy." Not wasting any time the two charged at each other. Tsuna sent a wave of water at Sagaku who immediately jumped to avoid being hit. As he dodged, Sagaku sent a ball of fire at the woman. Seeing his attack, Tsuna swiped her hand in front of her as if she were swatting something causing a wall of water to appear in front of her. The ball of fire hit the wall of water, both battling for dominance before both dissolved into nothing.
"You should know that attacks like that won't work on me." Tsuna stated.
"You're right maybe I should start trying." Sagaku commented dryly.
"Sagaku! Stop with the small talk and get me down!" Kagome yelled at the seemingly bored male.
"Mouthy wench! Shut up and stay out of this!" With a flick of her wrist, Tsuna caused the hand of water holding Kagome to tighten it's grip. Kagome cried out as the pressure of the hand began to cause strain on her ribs knowing that if it got tighter they would surely break.
"Kagome! Tsuna, let her go!"
"Right so you can run away with your tail between your legs like you always do? I am curious tho, why is it that you seem hesitant to mention anything that is linked to your past?"
"Maybe it's because I don't want to remember a bitch like you. And for the record, I don't run away scared, that's your boyfriend who I would prefer you not compare me to. Also, I didn't request that you let her go I demanded it, now either you can let her go peacefully or I'll take her back by force." Sagaku glared at the girl in front of him as his eyes darkened.
"Just try it you god damn pyro!" Sagaku smirked before he dissappeared from Tsuna's sight, reappearing somewhere to her left. Tsuna saw him out of the corner of her eye and turned to face him only to have him dissapear again. Again, Tsuna saw him only to have him dissapear when she turned to face him.
"Stop toying with me Sagaku! Come and fight me like a real man!"
"What in heavens name are you talking about woman? I'm not toying with you, I'm simply not giving you a chance to attack me."
"What's wrong, are you afraid of a girl? Or are you afraid of getten beaten by one of your own again?" Sagaku didn't answer, instead he appeared in front of Tsuna and grabbed her by the neck. Flames licked wildly at Tsuna's skin as something in Sagaku's eyes flashed. Tsuna knew that look, it always appeared whenever Sagaku took anything seriously, which was hardly ever. She knew that she'd have to step up her game if she wanted a chance in hell of beating him. In order to distract him long enough to get free she manipulated the hand that was holding Kagome captive and had it increase the pressure of its grip on the girl. Luckily for her, it worked. Kagome's scream of pain caused Sagaku to loosen his grip on her enough for her to break free.
"Hiding behind hostages is dishonorable." Sagaku glared coldly at the woman before him.
"Don't you tell me what's honorable and what's not! YOU were the one that broke the rules and ended up as you are! So don't you dare tell me what to do Sagaku!"
"Mindless pawn." Sagaku grumbled before his shoulders straightened and his hands clasped together in front of his chest, pointer fingers touching and pointing upwards. His eyes closed as the fire dancing around him calmed. Tsuna stood looking at him with confusion dancing in her eyes. She thought that she knew all of Sagaku's attacks but she had never seen him use this in battle, ever.
"Scortching Pheonix." Was what she heard, then she saw Sagaku's eyes snapped open as the flames around him began to morph into what appeared to be a giant bird. The bird appeared to be screaming something to the sky before it flew towards her. Tsuna screamed as the immense pain from the fiery attack burnt her skin. She soon collapsed to the ground unconscience, her 'hand' holding Kagome dissappearing also.
Sagaku ran towards Kagome catching her before she hit the ground. As he checked her over for any injuries he was glad to find that she was uninjured but she was unconscience. Sighing he picked her up and started walking back to Keade's hut.
------
"Oh my god! Kagome!" Sango yelled as Sagaku stepped through the door of the hut.
"Put her on the futon." Keade said as she motioned towards a bed to the left of the hut.
"What happened to her?" Sesshomaru inquired. Uppon hearing the question Sagaku turned to look at Sesshomaru before getting up and walking towards the door.
"Answer my question Sagaku." Sesshomaru demanded. He stood up and moved into Sagaku's path, effectively cutting him off.
"Move." Sagaku glared at demon in front of him.
"Sagaku please tell us what happened to Kagome." Sango pleaded. However, her plea was ignored. Sagaku and Sesshomaru were locked in a glaring match, both looking like they weren't about to back down.
"Sango, do you think something happended to upset Sagaku?" Miroku asked.
"I'm sure something did. He's normally all for talking about anything but he seems not to even want to be around anyone at the moment." Sango replied. Miroku nodded his agreement before both turned to find the source of the light groan they heard. They observed that Kagome was waking up. As soon as her eyes blinked open they met the concerned brown eyes of her friend.
"Are you ok Kagome?" Sango asked.
"Yea I'm fine. What happened?" Kagome asked sitting up.
"We were hoping you could tell us that." Miroku stated from behing Sango.
"What?" Kagome looked around quizically until her eyes landed on the glarind duo by the door. Noticing the tension Kagome decided that she needed to distract them and considering that Sesshomaru couldn't be distracted for anything she tried Sagaku.
"Sagaku that was amazing! Are you ok?" Kagome questioned pretending to be unaware of the mounting tension. After a few minutes of no reply Kagome got up and walked over to the two.
"Sagaku?" She tried, her arm placed lightly on his shoulder. She was surprised when her normally happy friend turned his glare towards her and shrugged off her hand. Kagome looked at him in shock before she was staring at the wall that Sagaku's form had been blocking, Sagaku himself had dissapeared.
"What's wrong with him?" Sango questioned.
"I don't know." Was Kagome's answer.
