Murder Case
613
Kagome ran a shaky hand across her face as she leaned against the trunk of an oak tree. Twenty three murders in three weeks. Twenty three! Is that even possible? Half of the victims were youkai while the other were human, but at the very least it was clear that this time around both species were fighting together. While any other time the thought of their unity would have brought a smile to her face; under these circumstances she'd rather they continued abhorring one another.
Her worrying was abruptly grabbed by its metaphorical tail when Sesshomaru finally stepped into view. It was their turn to go on forest patrol. The unlucky dice of fortune had paired them up for this job on the one damn day that they decided that they would all work in pairs for the duration of the evening. She was really hoping she could get Sango's job and just spend a day with the children frolicking about. But nooo! She got stuck on patrol duty with .
Xox
At least two hours had gone by according to her inner clock and she found that it was rather pleasant. Light bickering, corpse less pathways, and only a handful of feeble ambushes. Things were finally less dark and gloomy than it had been the past few weeks.
They had even regained a bit of their bickering ways over the course of those two hours. She hadn't realized how much the dynamic of their friendship had changed once she made the decision that she needed to get rid of her invisible purity ring, and stuff it up her butt crack; never to be seen again.
With a wary smile Kagome reached over and grasped the ends of his long fingers in a loose hold. She watched from beneath her lashes as he started but easily swept them into a comfortable topic. Her hands were clammy and she knew he could hear her heart skip a beat. She cursed herself for her wavering confidence. How was she going to screw anyone if this made her such a nervous wreck?
She stumbled slightly over her words as she thought about how she was going to proceed into her next 'suspicion' if she couldn't even touch him. Now, how was she ever going to find out if proud youkai wanked?!
"…. Rin seems to have acquired suitors…"
With a jerk of her head she stiffened slightly before laughing it off. She nudged his ribs with her elbow softly, as to not hurt herself, and joked around with Rin's approaching adulthood. "Next thing you know you're going to be having The Talk."
Kagome wiggled her brows teasingly before giggling to herself once he presented her with his near constipated look of exasperation(or as much irritation he deemed she was worthy of noting). They delved into the topic deeper and deeper, and Kagome was shocked to see how he hesitantly gave her tiny windows into his thoughts. The revelations were always clipped and softly spoken making her strain her ears to decipher which were confessions and which were simple pronouns that he stretched out to make his speech eloquently hypnotizing.
Their playful banter took a drastic turn a few hours later as they made their way in the direction of Kaede's hut. Suddenly, they no longer spoke of weddings or of fancy gimmicks from the future, but somehow the topic revolved around her own purity. At first she was put off with this route before remembering her vow to become a new woman.
"Well you obviously know I'm still a virgin… but I'll be fixing that very soon." She gave Sesshomaru a surreptitious sidelong glance.
Feeling confident in his reaction to her unconcealed temptation she continued. "I kinda had a certain silver haired Daiyoukai in mind." She stuttered over her statement before losing what little confidence she had managed to acquire in a puff of smoke.
A/n: Sorry this sucks. Also, I realized the typo in the second paragraph. Sorry... again.
