Home is where I belong

An Inuyasha Fanfiction from Miko-chan

Yukiko's bewilderment prompted a snicker.

"I forgot" Kagura sneered, her throat rumbling with silent laughter. "You don't know who you are since they tried to keep you away from our own kind." then she added maliciously, "But that will change. Come with me."

"No."

"Is it because I'm a stranger? My name is Kagura, the..."

"I'm not coming."

Kagura twitched her lips in irritation. This was going to be harder than she thought.

"Well, then." If the girl wants the hard way, it was fine with her. "Shall we play a little tag?"

As soon as Kagura made her first step, Yukiko broke into a hasty run. Her senses jangled wildly, telling her that the woman was not very amiable. She couldn't help but feel frustrated at this whole affair. First of all, she was cold and tired from the constant rattling of her responsibilities at school. But nevertheless, she was not going to lose with this little game of cat and mouse. Her limbs were becoming numb from the exertion, but she was beyond caring about that. Instead, she tried desperately to think of a plan, even to slow the pursuer down from chasing her. Kagura was fast in her rapid paces despite the folds of her clothing were probably obstructing her. However, Yukiko was astonished to find that when she had tried to for a breakneck speed (She usually expects slow strides because of her dainty feet.), Kagura could not even keep up with her with a few meters.

How ironic, she idly thought as she had enough with contemplating. She had finally gotten a free time,and here she was with some weirdo in pursuit of her instead of sipping some hot chocolate on the comfy rug. The idea suddenly gave way to a plan to distract the pursuing woman.

Crossing her fingers, she leapt over the metal railings beside the sidewalk and landed on prickly bushes. Surely the vast snowy surroundings would surely cover her milky-white appearances. Besides, only someone who was familiar within the area shortcuts would be able to find their way out of this forest. She was aware it would be impossible to get out of here without scratching herself on the rough roots or piercing twigs stuck out in odd angles completely inside this rising slope, but at least she would still be alive. The woman just sighed, apparently aggravated, and hurdled through the fence to continue the heated chase.

That brat was getting to her nerves and her mind was filled with assorted images of silencing the wench in her present position. If Naraku had not commanded to bring the girl alive and unharmed, she would have sliced that pretty head from that frail body. She had strived to get the dumb child without any fuss, but it seemed that she was really the child of those meddlers. She was irritated, but in even her dim locations of her mind, this was a little more than suicide. This was the daughter of the powerful beings that who had defeated even Naraku. Even though the girl was untrained in managing her energies, the blaze of her creamy aura was enough to create blisters in her skin.

Enough with this pointless diversion.

"Fujin no mai!" stated with a hint of mild impatience. Her wind blades began slicing through the thick tree trunks. She could hear the startled gasp in the middle of the thudding trunks towards the earth. Swerving the fan to clear her view from the massive branches, she nearly chortled that the child was practically blocked from any escape. The logs were on various points, cornering her in the middle. Her face was now scratched with a few crimson cuts beneath her cheeks and her peculiar dress (what they call as a uniform), was already ripped to shreds.

Yet she did not expect the girl's vibrant eyes be filled with passion.

Instead of dread of death or anger of helplessness, she saw fiery determination.

"You were trying to escape?" she hinted with sarcasm.

"No" The young woman uttered scornfully. "I was just going out for a walk."

If her hair was only tinted with ebony, she grimly thought with pleasure, the girl would surely be mistaken as Kagome or Kikyou. Her scent would almost resemble to the feisty miko, the only difference was the touch of refreshing flakes in the pond mingling with her aroma.

"Come..." she breathed out with anticipation . She placed her foot forward, with a flow of excitement running through her adrenaline. Finally, this would draw into a close. On impulse, Yukiko drew back, her fisted knuckles promising to connect that sneering face if Kagura comes any nearer. So they were astonished when smoldering flames erupted at the rear, causing both of them to evade form its path.

"Where the heck did THAT come from?" Yukiko thought drastically. Her head whipped towards the fresh smell of the newcomer. But...this was the one who was constantly following her on *normal* days. Its musky scent of a pond was now overwhelming in her senses.

"You little twit!" Kagura spat. Her massive sleeves were scorched from the incident. However, not willing to surrender effortlessly, she hurled a huge blade through the concealing thicket beside Yukiko. A sharp squeal pierced the air, and a sickly, jade-colored creature hopped out.

He cackled. "You should have known that Sesshomaru-sama would not leave Yukiko-sama unguarded!" He pounded the butt of a ridiculous wooden crutch on the frosty ground. The pointy snout declared loudly. "I, Jaken, Sesshomaru-sama's loyal servant, will protect Yukiko-hime!"

If you eliminate her ruby irises, Kagura still looks perfectly human.

"A...a..mon" Yukiko trembled at the sight of him.

Eep! Jaken had an electric jolt of fear run through him. He had forgotten not to show himself to the girl. He knew he would be squished with his carelessness. He craned his neck to look at the terrified lass staring at him with disgust. "Yu...Yukiko-sama, a..are you a..alright?"

" MOOONSTEEEEEEEEER!"
