GAH! I WANNA HIT SOMEONE!

Sorry, had to get that out. Anyway, thank's for the support and Reviews~! Here's the next chapter~

FYI, theres a little Omake at the end to satisfy my Uta need.

...

...

God he's so freakin' pretty...(Well, to me). And it seems I am making Kagome deviate from her original personality, but then again, she never had an older sibling in the original story who influenced her, and souta was only in danger the one time in the series...so...please forgive me about kagome.

Because...Disgusting wolf.

It happened again. Kagome thought as she sat in the wolf den. What is this bullshit? Why the fuck is it always me? She thought irritably, looking around the den at all the wolf demons.

A day earlier Kagome and the rest had come across a village that was ransacked by wolves, everyone was dead. They fought a few wolves and before she knew it, a wolf demon named Kouga had appeared and demanded why they were attacking his wolves. Somehow this lead to Inuyasha- that fucking bastard- and Kouga into yelling insults at one another, not letting Kagome get a word in about the three jewel shards that Kouga had in his Right arm and both of his leg's. Every time she tried one of them would yell at the other, drowning out her voice, thus not getting her noticed.

Kagome was not in the mood for this.

So, she had threw her pocket knife at Inuyasha, getting him in the arm and yelling at him about the jewel shards. She noticed that Miroku, Sango, and Shippo had taken a few steps away from her, a little afraid of what she would do, but she didn't care.

She was in a foul mood ever since Inuyasha may or may not have killed her older sister.

'Sit' commands were not enough to get her rage under control. Oh no, not by a long shot. Miroku and Sango had to hold her back or Kagome would have murdered Inuyasha! It was fairly possible since she had unconsciously started to channel her miko powers into both her fists and her pocket knife that day. The mutt was lucky that all she could do was yell out sit commands with enough force for him to make a large crater into the ground.

Anyway, after that whole fiasco with Kouga, the group had moved on. Inuyasha stood well away from her, and instead decided to focus on trying to sniff out Kouga. He said he wasn't a damn 'mutt', but him sniffing the ground on all fours really wasn't helping his case.

And then boom!

Wolves.

And motherfuckin' Kouga came out of nowhere, grabbed Kagome, jumped off the side of a cliff onto the other side of the cavern, ran up said cliff, and sprinted away. All the while blabbering something about her being his jewel detector.

She was so going to kick his ass when she saw the opportunity.

"Tch." she clicked her tongue, throwing her knife at the wall next to her, unintentionally channeling her power through the knife, thus the knife embedding itself up to the hilt in the wall. This unnerved the wolves and demons who were keeping an eye on her, and when she focused an annoyed glare at them they quickly turned away. She also felt shippo shudder lightly as he sat on her lap, but she didn't care as she saw Kouga walk into the cave, towards her, with a boar slung over his shoulder. He looked pleased with his catch, making Kagome a little more irritated for some odd reason.

Kouga either didn't notice her foul mood, or chose to ignore it since he kept smiling. "As the day ends, we'll be leaving." he announced. He then put the boar down in front of her, "Have some food."

Kagome blinked, momentarily forgetting that the wolf demon was going to use her for his fight against some bird demons, and instead focused on how Kouga had actually gone out to get food for her. Oh? She thought in surprise. She stared down at the boar, then back up at the expecting wolf-demon starring her down. She was a bit hungry at the moment, and her sister did say to never waste food. Does this count? She thought as she looked the boar over, before shrugging. Probably. "Ah...Thanks...I guess." she said.

Kouga grinned, "You're welcome."

Kagome ignored the winning smile he sent towards her, instead she looked around for some way to cook the meat. She could probably to a horrid job of skinning it with her knife after she tugged it out of the wall. She knew how to survive in the wold, believe it or not, because her father had offered both her and her elder sister on how to do such thing's. Kaname had declined, not seeing the point in having the skill when they lived in the city, Kagome on the other hand had watched a post-apocalyptic movie the night before and wanted to be ready for anything. Wow, who knew the skill would come in handy? She thought with a fond smile that quickly disappeared when she found no signs of firewood of any kind to cook the boar. "Kouga? Do you have anything I could use to cook this?" she said, pointing at the boar.

"Huh? Why?" he asked a little confused.

...He can't be serious. She thought as she deadpaned him. "...Kouga."

"Hm? Yeah, what is it?" he said, wondering why she wasn't digging in.

"It still has it's fur..." she hinted.

She received a blink. "uh-huh."

"..." she narrowed her eye's at him. "It's raw."

Kouga cocked an eyebrow, not getting getting what she was saying. "...So?"

Kami-sama above, he really is serious about me eating this raw. She thought while pinching the bridge of her nose. "...Kouga...I can't eat raw meat." she stated dryly.

"Haaah?" he said bewildered. "What do you mean you can't eat raw meat? Of course you can! All you gotta do is take a bite out of it!" he stated.

Kagome was not amused.

"Kouga, thats not the point I'm making. I am human, and humans generally cook their food because raw meet can be pretty harmful to our body's, not to mention all the bacteria inside of it that could weaken my immune system. I could even get a nasty virus..." she explained, only to trail off at the blank look sent her way. She sighed, hating how no one In this age- sans her sister- understood modern knowledge. "You know what, never mind. I'm not even hungry anymore, sorry you got the boar for nothing. Although I do appreciate the sentiment of the action." she said, throwing up her hands in defeat.

Kouga cocked his head to the side, before shrugging his shoulder's and tossed the boar to his packmates. He then proceeded- much to Kagome's annoyance- to lean into the miko and examine her. "Hmmmmm..."

Kagome's eyebrow twitched. "...Yes?"

"Kagome...you said your name was..." he stated more then asked, a smirk working it's way onto his face. "Now that I take a good look at you, you've got a cute face."

…

…

…

"haah?" he said in surprise, feeling her cheeks heat up. Now, don't get her wrong, she has been called cute before by some boy's, but she will never get use to it. It also didn't help that Kagome found Kouga a little attractive.

"Okay then." he said, nodding his head as if he decided something. "You'll be my woman."

"...AAAAAH?" Kagome said in irritation at someone just claiming her out of nowhere. "Ex-fucking-'cuse me?!" she yelled.

"K-Kouga?" one of the demons asked, shuffling closer. "You aren't going to eat her when you've finished with her?" he asked confused.

Another demon with a thing scythe resting against his shoulder also stepped up. "In the first place, that's a human girl you got there." he stated pointedly.

"Moron, this girl can see shikon fragments. She's farm more useful than a female youkai." Kouga stated as he pointed towards the irritated woman.

"O-Oh, then you're going to collect the jewel shards?!" one asked from the converting demons.

"You bet." Kouga said, "When that happens our group will be invincible." he stated proudly. He then turned towards Kagome, ignoring her scathing look, and pulled her up towards himself. "So, there you have it. You understand, right?" he said casually, as if Kagome was okay with this.

She was, in fact, not okay with this.

Not one fucking bit.

"...'So, there you have it.'?" she growled, glaring up at him. "THE FUCK I UNDERSTAND YOU ASSHOLE!" and without warning Kagome pulled back her arm and right-hooked him. The resounding sound of a fist meeting flesh echoed through the cave, stunning the demons into shocked silence. It was enough shock for Kouga to let Kagome go and stagger back a bit. She shook her hand out from the pain, but otherwise she stared Kouga down. Not at all regretting the punch as she watched the wolf-demon rub at his cheek.

"S-She hit Kouga."

"That girl's gonna die."

"I can't believe she did that!"

Kagome huffed at the comments floating around, she didn't know why they seemed surprised. Of course she could throw a punch. She had picked up a book about self-defense when she had gone back home to pick up some stuff for her journey, she was just mimicking what she read. "Sides," she started, putting her weight on one leg and cocking her hip. "It's not like we could be together, even if I liked you and had no problem with you claiming me like some kind of fucking animal...which I do have a problem with by the way."

Kouga blinked, crossing his arms and raising a brow. "Why not? Is it because of that Dog-turd?" he questioned, remembering the mutt she was traveling with.

"...If you mean Inuyasha, then no. That bastard has no say in my love life what-so-ever." she stated with an eye-roll. "No, I'm talking about my elder sister's approval."

His eyebrows shot up. "Your sister?!"

"Yeah, my sister. I won't date anyone- let alone be claimed by anyone- who my sister doesn't approve. If she likes you, then alright I'll give you a chance. But, if she doesn't like you, then- regardless of our history together- I'll break it off like that." She snapped her fingers to show how fast it would end. "We could still be friends and/or acquaintances after that if I like you enough." she stated with a careless shrug.

"Hmmm~?" Kouga hummed out in thought about this new information. "Heh! This'll be fun. So, as long as I get your sisters approval, then you won't complain if I claim you?" he asked.

Kagome scoffed, "Even with my sisters approval- which I doubt you'll get- you still have to get me to like you."

"I see, I see." he said, already formulating a plan to fins this sister of her's and get that approval. "So, does this mean that you and that mutt aren't together?"

Kagome thought back to how Inuyasha asked for her to stay by his side, and then to the memory of him kissing kikyo. She never did get an answer from him about that, and seeing as he's always distracted when he catches even a slight whiff of the dead priestess- along with the fact he doesn't seem to care that said dead miko still has some of her soul- she could probably safely say that, no, they were not together. Kaname-nee was right, she thought with a scowl. Men outside of the Higurashi family are disgusting pigs. "No, we aren't together." she answered. If Inuyasha had any romantic interest's in her, then he better damn well show it, because Kagome refused to have her heart played with by and indecisive jerk. She knows for a fact that she didn't giver her heart to Inuyasha yet, it was plain to see when she had tried to kill him for what he did to her sister.

After that, Kagome sat back down with shippo, quickly pulling her knife out from the wall, and waited for them to leave.

"...How the hell did they not notice us nearing them yet?" Kagome mumbled to herself as they neared the nesting place of the demon birds. Just as she said that, a few of the demons noticed their group. "Oop's, jinxed it."

"So the fucking Gokurakuchou have noticed us." Kouga hummed out in amusement next to Kagome.

"Well, yeah, I'm pretty sure anyone would notice this giant pack of wolves in one spot." she commented. She received a look from Kouga, Kagome only sent a cheeky one back, making the demon shrug as he turned towards his pack.

"You lot can take care of the small-fry." he ordered.

"Sure." they all answered with eager grins.

Suddenly, the birds started to swoop down, ready to claw, rip, and tear at them.

"ALLL-RIGHTY!" Kouga announced, "LET'S GO KAGOME!" he felt Kagome get upon his back then jumped skyward towards the nest. Along the way he tore through any birds that got near them with his shikon infused arm.

Kagome had borrowed a bow and a quiver of arrows that the demons had lying around from one of their meals. She may not necessarily like the situation she found herself in, but she would be damned if she just sat around and did nothing like some weak willed girl. I have to get stronger, she thought as she pulled off the the bow and knocked an arrow. And to do that I have to fight! She aimed and poured her energy into the arrow. I'm going to make sure I can protect Onee-sama! She thought determinedly as she let go. The arrow shimmered in bright light as it soared through the air, cutting through and purifying the birds as it went.

"...Whoa." Kouga mumbled out, impressed by what the girl on his back could do.

"Hmp. Thats nothing, my onee-sama could probably do a lot better then me." she commented as she knocked another arrow and fired, tightening her legs around Kouga as they had to jerk to the side to avoid one of the falling birds. "after all, I haven't even trained in the art of being a miko. Kaname-nee-chan has been since she could walk. She could probably obliterate this whole nest with a wave of her hand if she wanted to." Kagome bragged, loving the admiring hum she got from Kouga. Be in awe of my amazing sister. She thought giddily as she fired another arrow at a group of birds coming at them.

"Right, as much as I would love to hear about this sister of yours, you've got work to do. We'll reach the boss's nest shorty!" he called over the wind.

Kagome frowned as she felt the shard. She quickly looked to where it was coming from and cursed. "RIGHT IN FRONT! ITS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!" she yelled in time for Kouga to jump away as a giant bird crashed through the mountain side. "Holy shit!" she yelped, getting a good hold onto Kouga. Once they were safe, Kagome looked towards the demonic bird that had the jewel, and gaped on how large it was. "That is one huge bird..." she mumbled as Kouga set her down behind himself on the small ledge they landed on.

Kouga had to agree with her on that.

"Kukukuku, I've been waiting for you, brat from the youkai-wolf-tribe..." one of the demons sticking out of the bird said.

"...You've been waiting?!" Kouga questioned, tensing.

"Kukukuku, you've inserted shikon fragment into your body, we bro-" the demon didn't get to finish what it was saying as it's head suddenly went missing from a sacred arrow hitting it. The other demon screeched at the lost of it's twin, while Kouga whirled around to see Kagome lowering her bow.

"What?" she asked when Kouga was staring at her like she grew a second head. "He let his guard down while talking, it was the perfect opportunity." she defended herself. She distinctively remembered Kaname complaining about villains telling the hero's about their plan. Saying how it was the perfect opportunity to get rid of them, yet no one ever took the chance to be rid of them. She had then made Kagome promise, that if she was ever in trouble and her opponent decided to monolog, that she would take the opportunity presented to her and strike. I can't believe that they actually let their guard down to talk. She thought.

She really should have done this earlier in the journey. It would have saved them a lot of trouble.

"...Nothing." Kouga said after a bit, deciding that finding where the jewel shard was located was first priority. "Right, quickly, where is the shikon shard?"

"Hmmm..." She squinted, "It's inside it's mouth." she said with a nod.

"What?!" he exclaimed.

"YOU BITCH!" The remaining demon wailed, charging at Kagome and Kouga. "HOW DARE YOU, A FILTHY LITTLE NINGEN, KILL MY BROTHER?!" it screeched. It missed as Kouga quickly picked Kagome up and dodged. He kept going until he landed near his brethren, setting Kagome down.

"Kouga!" A demon with white with a tuff of black hair exclaimed in surprise.

"You lot protect Kagome!" Kouga ordered.

"Ah..um..but..." one of them stuttered as he looked towards the sky where the giant demon was located.

"Unless you finish it off quickly..." the other demon, who had a white mohawk, chimed in, trailing off as he didn't want to say how they would die if the bird wasn't taken down.

"I KNOW!" Kouga yelled as he charged at it, grabbing a spear along the way, "I'LL DIG THE SHIKON FRAGMENT OUT OF IT'S MOUTH!" he snarled.

"You're attacking it alone?!" Kagome called out, miffed that she was being left behind.

"OF COURSE! ONLY I CAN DEFEAT IT!" Kouga yelled back.

Kagome felt a tick appear, "DID YOU NOT SEE HOW I KILLED HIS BROTHER?! ALONG WITH ALL THOSE OTHER DEMONS?!" she yelled. Kouga seemed to ignore her as he kept running, making Kagome narrow her eyes at him. "Oh, he is so dead when he gets back." she mumbled darkly.

"Nee-san, wheres a safe place to go?" the demon on her left asked.

Kagome stared at him, "...'Nee-san'..." she deadpaned.

"Well, yeah." the one on her right answered. "You're the boss's woman after all..." he trailed off at the glare sent his way.

"I didn't agree to this, and he doesn't have Onee-sama's approval." she stated, "Your arguments are in-valid!"

A screech made the three quickly turn to see one of the youkais charging after them.

"YOU BASTARD!" the demon with the spear yelled, stabbing the demon's feathered body. Sadly that gave the youkai the opportunity to grab him by the arm and start flying away. "UWAH! S-SAVE ME!" he yelled out as he tried to get free.

"Shit!" Kagome cursed, she was so glad that her sister wasn't here to hear all of the cursing she's done.

-With a certain miko-

"Mama?" Rin questioned, pausing in her attempt to make a flower crown like Kaname's, when a dark look passed over the miko's features. "Whats wrong?" she asked, tilting her head as to why Kaname was suddenly irritated.

"Nh?" Kaname said, snapping out of it and looking down at Rin. "Oh, it's nothing Rin, I just had a bad feeling about my imouto is all. I'm sure it's nothing." she reassured her, resuming in making a crown for rin.

"Oh, okay!" she chirped, holding out her half done crown, "How is it?" she asked excitedly.

Kaname made a show of looking it over, before saying that it was coming along very well, but made a few pointers at parts she should be careful at when weaving. Rin cheered and continued to eagerly make the crown, she couldn't wait until it was finished and see her new mother wearing it. Maybe she could make one for lord Sesshomaru as well? As she pondered this, she missed the dark look coming back to Kaname, along with the questioning one sent towards her from the daiyoukai standing a few feet from where she sat. The miko only waved it off, not wanting to bother the demon with such a silly thing.

"HA! I GOTCHA'!" Kagome yelled out as the bird disintegrated, dropping the demon in it's claws. She quickly went over to check on him, slightly cursing Kouga for not letting her grab her bag with her fist-aid kit inside of it. "thank, goodness! Are you alright?" she questioned.

"T-Thank you..." was his reply, in awe of what she did.

"That was really somethin'!" the other said.

Sadly, more of the demons were targeting them, and as Kagome got up to kill them she realized she was out of arrows. "Oh come on!" she groaned.

"KAGOME!"

Next she knew, Inuyasha was there, slashing through the demonic birds. Kagome decided that she could forgive him a bit for saving her hide.

But only a bit. She was still pretty pissed off at the hanyou.

"...Oh, hey Inuyasha." Kagome said.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha said in relief.

"Yeah, thats my name." she said with a raised brow. "Anyway, thanks for the save! I ran out of arrows, I can't believe I actually used them all up!" she said as Inuyasha walked up to her and started to check her.

"You're not hurt are you?!" he questioned, getting into her personal space.

Kagome just decided to let it happen, since he was obviously worried about her safety. "Ah, I'm fine. Kouga made sure of that."

"DOG-TURD," Kouga yelled out from where he was standing on the mountain side. "AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M BUSY AT THE MOMENT! UNTIL I'VE FINISHED OFF THE MONSTER-BIRD, YOU FUCKING WAIT DOWN THERE." he stated, "THAT IS, IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH GUT'S TO FIGHT ME OF COURSE!" he challenged.

"SHUT UP!" Inuyasha retorted. "THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE RUNNING OFF WITH HIS TAIL BETWEEN HIS LEGS, IS YOU!" He then started running up the mountain side. "DON'T MOVE FROM THERE! I'LL WASTE YOU!"

"INUYASHA!" Kagome yelled out, annoyed at the turn of events. This really wasn't the time for their testosterone fueled fight. But Inuyasha seemed to have ignored her, that just made him also on her list of people to fucking smack when this was over.

Right along with Kouga.

"Nee-san, this way!"

"Hanging around here means we'll fall prey to the gokurakuchou."

When Kagome was about t respond, she saw the giant boomerang of sangos tear through a few demons. She turned and saw both Miroku and sango making their way over on kilala. "Miroku! Sango!" she said cheerily. She decided to explain to them what was happening when she saw the confusion on their face's.

Not surprisingly, it was fairly easy to clean up the birds with Miroku's wind tunnel.

She was a little worried when Kouga was smashed into the side of the mountain, but was relieved when he stood up.

"OF COURSE! KAGOME IS MY WOMAN NOW! I WON'T LET ANYONE HAVE HER!"

That relief was instantly gone when Kouga said that. She saw the shock on Inuyasha's face, along with feeling the stares of everyone on her. She sighed, rubbing her forehead as she could feel an oncoming headache. "DAMMIT KOUGA!" she yelled, gaining the males attention. "WHAT PART OF MY SISTERS APPROVAL DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?!"

"Don't worry!" he said, giving a wolfish smirk to her. "I'm sure your sister will approve." he stated confidently.

SNAP.

"Ah! Mama, you broke your stick!" Rin said in surprise. She then paused in drawing in the dirt with her own stick, marveling at the murderous aura leaking from Kaname.

Jaken flinched, scurrying behind A-Un for protection, he did not want to be the one she took her frustrations out on.

Sesshomaru, stared at the miko, wondering what could have made her mood so foul today. "Kaname." he said, the silent question going unsaid.

Kaname took a moment to compose herself, before smiling down at Rin. "Rin, how about you take Jaken and go collect something to eat for dinner?" she asked. The girl easily nodded and got up, rushing past Jaken and into the forest. "Jaken." Kaname called out, making the imp pause in his running and gulp. "You better make sure Rin does not have one scratch on her person, otherwise, I will have to test a new method of torture on a certain green toad." she informed him. Jaken squeaked and made a mad dash to go after Rin.

Once gone, Kaname stood up and made her way towards the daiyoukai. "I am suddenly having the urge to kill someone." she explained when she met eyes with Sesshomaru. "It may have something to do with either the village, my family, of sister..." she said in thought as the blood-thurst in her started to act up. "Oh dear, I think I need to kill something, I am sorry for my unsightly behavior my lord.." she said

"Hn." Sesshomaru hummed, observing her. He honestly didn't mind how she was acting. For one, it was literally in her blood, so she could not control it without an outlet. And for another...

Well, Sesshomaru actually found her anger and blood-lust a bit- if he may be so bold- attractive. The cold gleam in her eye's, the way her body tensed and screamed authority and respect, yet held that elegance of a lady.

He actually found amusement when she did her torture- excuse him, he meant when she did her 'Experiments', so with that in mind, he decided to assist her in her little urges. "...There are some demons that are foolish enough to cross over he boundary I set forty paces east of here." he informed. He received a coy smile in return for the information. "Do not take long."

Kaname only chuckled lightly as headed towards the direction the demons were located, and as she past she decided to do something a little bold.

She lightly ran her fingers across his chest.

The touch sent those strange electrical shocks through both the miko's and the demon's body. Yet, before Sesshomaru could respond, Kaname was already gone.

He was sure he saw he face flame red.

"Y-You jerk! Of all the irresponsible things..." Inuyasha ground out towards the wolf demon.

Kouga scoffed at him, "You got a problem, eh?! I'M IN LOVE WITH KAGOME!" he declared, making Inuyasha growl at him.

"Y-You bastard!"

"She's able to see the shikon no tama, has gut's, amazing power, and can fight." he said, listing the things he liked about her. "And she's a fine woman too." he said with a grin.

Kagome stared up at him. She heard what he said, and honestly she was really fucking flattered. No one has said that about her before, especially not Inuyasha. Just hearing someone, a boy no less, actually compliment her about something other then her looks made her heart skip a beat and a blush flush her face. "...Yeah, I can totally forgive him now." she decided, much to the confusion of her companions. "KOUGA!" She called up towards him, "I FORGIVE YOU FOR KIDNAPPING ME! AND I'M TAKING YOU OFF OF MY SHIT LIST!"

Compliments from a physically-fit handsome demon were surprisingly effective.

Don't look at her like that! She was a hormonal fifteen-year-old girl, who got a good feel of an attractive males muscles! An attractive male who was attracted to her!

At this Kouga looked pretty damn smug, while Inuyasha looked at Kagome in disbelief.

"You bastard," Kouga started, cracking his knuckles. "I'll fix it so you won't be able to wander after Kagome ever again."

"Heh. THATS MY LINE!" Inuyasha shouted as he drew the Tetsusaiga.

Kagome felt like she should try and stop them, but then she really didn't care anymore. So, she decided to just ignore them and sit down on one of the boulders. Oh, if only she had her homework with her so she would have had something to do. ...Damn, I have a math test coming up. She thought with a groan.

Omake:

Tokyo Ghoul Crossover – The mask shop: HySy.

Kaname had been wandering around the place known as the fourth ward, marveling on how much the world changed since she had been gone. Yes, she was aware of the being's called 'Ghoul's even before she disappeared, they were all over the news and had a special channel dedicated to learning about them when she was a child.

It was just her family never encountered them, so she never found the need to kill one. And seeing as she will never have one of them sneak upon them, ever, she left them alone. She could now- after months of having to retrain her senses to this time period- tell the difference between demon's, human, spirit, divine being, and ghoul since they all felt different.

The point is, it seems that the ghouls have gotten bolder since she had left.

As such, she had decided to go on a walk, she was bored and she could use the challenge of fighting a ghoul to alleviate her boredom. Sadly, she hasn't run into any, which was strange since she was in the fourth ward where a lot of people usually get attacked by a ghoul or two. Hm...Maybe my clothing is the problem? She thought as she went down a set of stairs. She was wearing a long sleeved pull over sweater that stopped a bit under her chest, it was black and had a crimson skeleton dragon coiled around her right arm, its head resting where her heart was. Baggy tan cargo pants hanging on her hips, held up by a crimson weaved belt, Black combat boots, and finally she carried her the sword her grandfather had gotten from the family shrine to give to her. She had her hair pulled up in a neat high pony-tail, showing off her pierced ears that matched the one piercing in her belly button.

"...Hmmm...That can't be it. I don't even look that intimidating." she mumbled.

She had no idea it was because of the aura that she emitted that kept the weaker ghouls in the area away from her. It was as she was passing a building that she came out of her musings, the mark next to the door caught her attention. She doubled back and read the store name. "HySy ArtMask Studio." she cocked her head to the side. This person must be pretty ballsy if they opened up a mask shop of all things. She thought, wondering if she should go in and check it out. Well, it's not like I have anything else to do. She decided with a shrug and opened the door to the shop.

She was amazed by all the masks she found on the wall. Quite a few caught her attention before she stepped more inside, scanning the room for the owner or even a worker.

Seeing as she didn't see anyone, and that the door was open which meant the shop was still opened, Kaname looked around. She first went to the display-case, studying the more well made masks then the ones on the walls. The first mask she saw was an angry red and looked like a tengu, it's eyes looked sown shut, the right half of it's face looked burned, the left had a few scar riddling it. It mouth was twisted into an angry snarl with a blue substance dripping from it's lips. All in all, it looked very vengeful.

The next one was of a grinning cat, it was purple with black stripes. One ear was missing with the other filled with holes, there were stitches near the ends of the mouth where it looked like it lower jaw was torn off, twisting and forcing it to smile. The eye holes were slanted to make a lazy look, and what looked to be veins were branching out from them. Small red tear marks ran down its face, making the cat look in agony.

Kaname lightly touched the glass, "how memorizing..." she mumbled as she went down the row of masks. Some were simple, some extravagant, twisted, cruel, happy, sad, etc. etc. but they were all very well crafted.

"Really?" a low monotone voice stated from behind her. Kaname didn't even jolt, she had felt that someone had been in the shop, and she was curious as to why they didn't reveal themselves until now?

"Ah." she said in confirmation, still looking at the masks, "They are finely crafted." she commented, looking down at what looked like a rotting bunny. "did you make them? All of them?"

It was quest as the man behind her seemed to observed her for a moment or two, "Yes."

Kaname hummed in amazement. "You are talented." she complimented. She tore her eyes away from the mask's and finally turned to see the maker of the masks. She was met with a man with black hair, the left side of his head was shaven with the rest pulled up into a pony tail, he wore black sunglasses which hid his eyes from her, a dark gray tank top with a loose black jacket draped over it. Black baggy pants tucked into combat boot. She studied the tattoo's on his exposed arms and hands, vaguely wondering how long it took to ink them. He had a woven necklace, and above that was a tattoo which she guess was in Latin around his neck. He also had a few piercings in his ears, another near his brow, and one on his bottom lip. He was also quite a bit taller then herself.

He was attractive in that bad-boy kind of way.

But what stood out, was the aura he was emitting, causing her lip to twitch just the slightest. Seeing as the man was also observing her as well, she could tell he caught it.

Interesting. She thought before shifting her feet. "Oh, how rude of me, I haven't introduced myself have I?" Kaname said with a small smile, "I am Higurahi, Kaname. It's nice to meet you."

"Hello Higurashi-san, My name is Uta." Uta responded with a small bow of his head. "Is there anything in particular you are looking for?" he questioned, his head tilting to the side a bit.

"Oh, no not really." she answered with a shrug, a mask with no face on it caught her interest. "I was actually just wandering around the fourth ward to see if something exciting could happen to cure me of my boredom." Kaname informed him as she walked towards the strange mask. Once she reached it, she leaned forward to get a better look at it. There were two x stitched where the eyes should be, but other then that it had no distinctive facial feature. It resembled a voodoo doll.

"Thats pretty dangerous, isn't it?" Uta said, going over towards his stool and sitting down. His eye's never left Kaname's figure as she studied the mask that usually unnerved people. He was interested in this girl slightly, she seemed like most of the humans that would wander into his shop from time to time, but she radiated a strange aura. She was defiantly human, there was no way he could mistaken the scent, but there was a sweet and sinful smell there as well. "After all, you could have been attacked by a ghoul." he wondered what she tasted like.

"I was actually hoping to be attacked by a ghoul." she chuckled out, "It would have seemed thrilling to fight one, and it would have given me the chance to see a real Kagune. I heard they were suppose to be terrifying, with the red iris's staring into your soul, with the black promising death." she snorted. What is it with people and exaggerating things?

That piqued Uta's interest. "you want to confront a ghoul to see their Kagune?" he asked, a little amused by what she was saying. "you will probably die then," he commented, continuing when Kaname turned to face him with a small sly smile. "because, what I have heard, is that nothing but those weapons that those CCG agents carry can harm a ghoul. That sword," he pointed to said sword she rested against her right shoulder. "will probably do you no good." although he was interested in the darkness it seemed to be leaking, it felt evil and uncontrollable. It was long and sleek, almost as tall as the girl herself, and had a giant jewel embedded into the end of the pommel.

She smirked at him knowingly, shifting her sword and leaning against the glass show case. "Oh? You think so?" she questioned in amusement, cocking her head to the side. Her right eye being covered by her dark hair, the visible coal eye staring into his own inhuman eye's. "I think Sō'unga would be more then enough to protect me." she said, and to Uta's ever growing curiosity, the sword seemed to pulsate as a response to it's owners words. Her eyes drifted back to the mask from earlier, he didn't know why she seemed fascinated by his mask, but he did know she would probably be disappointed that it wasn't for sale. The silence was interrupted when the theme for a leveling up pokemon rang. Kaname blinked, shifting her sword to her left hand and dug into her pocket, she pulled out a sleek white, with turquoise and golden accents on it, phone. "Oh." she mumbled, sliding her finger across the screen and answering it. "Hello mother, is something wrong?" she questioned, listening as Uta could hear the faint voice of a woman on the other side of the phone. "I am browsing through a shop at the moment...oya, oya, and who is looking for me?" a raised brow. Her face scrunched up, along with furrowing her brows in confusion. "The CCG?"

Uta blinked. What could the CCG want with her?

She pursed her lips as the woman kept on talking, rolling her shoulders to loosen them up. "they want to recruit me? And why would they want to do that?" she scoffed. She suddenly glared at the wall, "...Who is this?" she questioned, her voice darkening when a male voice replaced the female one. The temperature seemed to have dropped in his shop. I had no idea that could happen outside of novel's. Uta thought in wonder at the sudden coldness in his shop. "Amon-san, I don't necessarily care about your reasons of searching me out, I do not want nor do I care about being a CCG agent. My family is perfectly fine with my protection-..." she was cut off by the agent, probably trying to get her to agree to become an agent. Uta thought. Kaname didn't even look like she was listening. "...I would advise you not to cut someone off mid sentence. That will not get you anything but ire...Not interested...I have no use for such things...no...I do not care in the slightest." she yawned and pointed to the stool next to him in question. Uta shrugged, making Kaname take that as permission to sit down. "I am all caught up in schooling...I already finished university...are you accusing me of lying? You may check if you'd like, but I assure you I did, in fact, finish with a masters degree..." she smirked as she sat down, "Maybe the people you know are just too stupid then? Look, you may stay at the house until I get there, and you can try to push your drivel onto me, but my answer will be the same. No." and with that she hung up.

"Very persistent, aren't they?" Uta commented as she shoved her phone into her pocket. She snorted, her eye's connecting with his.

"Nh." she hummed, before sighing and getting up. "Well then, it seems I must be getting home to teach those agents who dared to step into my territory a lesson. The mask's you make are interesting, so do not be surprised if I come back again, Uta-san."

He gave a small smile to that, "Ah, and I would be glad to have you, Higurashi-san."

"Kaname." she said as she paused in opening the door. "I would rather you call me Kaname."

"Then, Kaname-san, until next time."

"Hn." she hummed and left the shop. Once she was gone, Uta took off his sunglasses, revealing his kagune, and thought about the strange human that was in here.

At the same time, Kaname was thinking about the ghoul she had just spoken with.

Interesting. They both thought with a devious smirk.
