Kagome looked over her shoulder at the ookiami prince and couldn't help the small, slow smile that crossed her features. She turned her smile to a sheepish grin and parted her lips to answer him.
"I have no Idea."she said slowly.
At his flabbergasted expression, she laughed loudly and turned back to the dish, drooling slightly.
"I have to warn you thought, I may eat this like my dad eats everything else." She said quickly, and leaped for the dish that Yuu was now holding. Snatching the plate, she wallowed half of it in one bite. Yuu looked over to Koga and mouthed the words to him.
"Now would be your best chance to run you idiot. You may only have five seconds!" And run he did. He didn't stop until he was in the kits room. Shuddering as he realized how close he was to getting his head busted in, and how little she would care especially because he had left her kit. Looking venomously at the small thing sleeping in the bed, he wondered on his chances to get away with hitting the little brat. Deciding that whatever small satisfaction he would get from giving the child what he felt Shippo deserved, he sat down next to the bed and tried to think of more productive things. Looking out to the area near him he thought on how to make Kagome love him. There had to be someway, but the question was, in fact how?
Back with Kagome, who had by now finished the dish of strange red patties that didn't taste uncooked, but had the strong taste of blood permeating them. She smacked her lips as she finished the small portion of her favorite dish. How everyone would be surprised to hear that she wasn't disgusted by the smell, the taste of blood, that she actually enjoyed the metallic taste on her tongue and that she actually loved the aftertaste of salt and pureness that it had left her. Yawning and stretching until her back made a small popping sound, she smiled as she stood and walked over to the living/all purpose room that housed all of her other comrades. Waving to them she walked over, and taking a small breath she sat down, her hands on each of her legs, folded Indian style.
"Okay..." Kagome started slowly, looking up at each person. "I am bored, so to alleviate my boredom, perhaps one of you could spare with-" Kagome looked up form her finger fiddling to notice that the men in her group (save Sesshomaru) scampered out of the room. Sighing as she looked at her options she thought about sparing with Sango, but she quickly dismissed that thought. She was on the lookout for a workout, something to get rid of her stress. A three and a half second fight would do no such thing. Seeking a quick look at Sesshomaru, Kagome sighed as she realized that this was her only option if she wanted some form of stress relief.
"Hm... Sesshomaru-sama... Would you mind sparing with me? Seeing as no one else wants to... I want to test a theory anyway" Kagome asked, the last part more of her thinking to herself.
The shocked look in his eyes made her wish she had her camera at that moment. She could probably sell it for a fortune to some Sesshomaru fanatic. 'Oh well. Thinking in what ifs is bad for ones sanity.' Bringing herself out of her musings, Kagome waited for his answer with her head cocked to the side. She had her turn to have a shocked expression on her features. His response- a small incline of his head- Was totally unexpected. She expected something along the lines of 'What? You expect me, the totally awesome lord, Sesshomaru to drop to your level and spar with the likes of you? That notion is laughable.' Kagome couldn't help the small giggle that left her when she finished the scene. At his raised eyebrow, she blushed at being caught thinking of something so very funny. With the sweep of her arm, she motioned for him to lead the way. Stepping outside she called her father, Pan, and Trunks outside. When everyone in the tachi was outside, she smiled softly.
"Pan, while I'm sparing with Sesshomaru-sama, would you be kind enough to sustain and maintain the barrier that I'm holding up? You might also need Kikyo to help you... Thanks!" Kagome finished in a happy tone, when she saw Pan just nod simply. Walking over a ways, she motioned to her father. As he came closer to her, she started to speak.
"I need you to judge the sparing. The winner will go against you." At his small gulp, she could bet that he didn't want her to win, and the small smile that graced her face was slightly twisted. Turning over to Sesshomaru, she resumed her families trademark battle stance, as her face became void of emotion, and she allowed her eyes to change to a dull gray, and stopped thinking. The only thing she listened to whilst in a battle was instinct.
To say that Sesshomaru was surprised at the sudden change was an understatement. How was she able to void her face of emotions so very quickly? How was it that she masked her aura so that even he couldn't feel it? Her smell was also gone, and he found that the only thing ringing in his head was, ironically, how? The pure irony was that he was the enigma, the one that always knew the hows and whys in all situations. He felt small anger that she was able to confuse him, to hide her true self from him. But she also had a plan that was formulating in his mind in such a way that it surprised him that she could remember all of it, without forgetting a single detail. Bringing his foot slightly forward, he drew his sword, and fought a groan as she shook her head and said to sheathe his sword. So, bringing the tip of said sword to rest on the sheathe and finished it with one quick sweeping motion. He let out a small sigh as she held out her hand, signaling 'wait' and drew himself back up to his full hight.
Kagome scrambled over to the edge of their makeshift ring and started to pull up her long sleeves and pants legs. She unwound the bindings that kept what was there in place. Unwrapping the heavy cotton swiftly, and tossing the contents to Yuu, she smiled as Yuu bent over, groaning as the full weight set in. Tossing the last four off, she saw the tachi eyes widened when they all saw that each weight sank into the ground by approximately 2 and a half inches. But she still wasn't done as she pulled off the wristbands and watched them sink slightly more. Taking off her shoes, she pulled off her socks and watched as the weight fell from it as she shook it. Pulling her socks and black boots on once again, she stood and resumed the fighting position. At everyones awed expression, she smiled slightly, before blanking her face. She turned to Sesshomaru and saw that he was trying to calculate the amount of weight.
"About three- thousand pounds." She said slowly. At his widened eyes, she again wished she had her camera.
She watched as her father stepped forward and cut the air, signaling that the fight had begun. Using breakneck speed, she dodged the quick swipe of claws, said claws had left a small pile of green goo that she surmised would have been a trifle painful. Doing two back flips, she watched as Sesshomaru looked up at her, an unreadable expression on his face. But the facade was back in place within a moment. 'He is fast, faster than I am right now. Time to step up the game.' Pulling herself together, she jumped several feet in the air. Doing a flip and staying in midair. She parted her lips as she brought her limbs closer to her.
"King Ki Fist x10!" Her voice rang as she felt her body glow red. Her Ki wrapping around her, she turned to Sesshomaru, rushing at him. 'I haven't much time! I have to hurry!" Swinging her foot down in a kick, she growled as she saw that she missed. Snapping her head to one side, she listened as he moved with but a little sound. But that sound was loud enough. Tracking the sound about ten feet behind her to the right she waited until she heard him shift. Jumping several feet in the air, she came down hard on his head. Watching as his eyes widened, she guessed that he didn't suspect to actually get hit. Flipping off his head, she resumed the battle position, she allowed her Ki levels to drop back down, instead she walked over to him, he started to swipe and punch and kick at her,but using her abilitys, she dodged each one. When his hand almost hit her, she grabbed his arm. Flipping him over, she pulled both of his arms behind his back, sitting on his legs. Pilling his legs up with one hand she brought all the limbs together as she smiled. Sitting on all four, she used her other hand, and brought it up to just under his neck. Allowing her Ki touch him just slightly, she uttered something in but a whisper.
"You. Loose. Sesshomaru." she said, making him realize that if this was an actual fight to the death, he would be dead right now. She saw his eyes get a evil tint, before he sighed just slightly.
"I...relent. You win... Kagome" he said in a strangled sounding tone. She looked over to him and smiled softly.
"No such thing, Sesshomaru-sama. You were unaware of my abilities, and no one but my father have ever responded and lasted so long when I use my King Ki fist. Well except my father, but that was at it multiplied by five, not ten, and he taught It to me!" She said, the last part said while she was laughing softly. Putting her opened hand in front of him, and she felt her smile widen as he took her hand in his. Shaking it slowly, she reopened her small, but ever so loud when need be, mouth to speak once again.
"Good game" she said with a small smile.
"I wonder what else you have up your sleeve." He said aloud, and resisted the urge to laugh at her when she paled, and started waving her arms.
"Nothing. Nothing really!" She said frantically. Scampering into the yard of the house, she could hear her sister, Trunks, and Sango and Miroku laughing at her. Sometimes she really hated getting seen through.
Visiting her son after a moment, she couldn't help the small gasp that left her.
