Chapter 2
Morning light filtered into the dry cave, deep within the forest, as Kagome got up from the blankets she had taken during her journey here.
Yawning widely she stood up and walked outside to catch her breakfast before her run on the shrine.
Lazily stretching her hands over her head, she locked her wrist and arm in place as two sets of foot long claw like blades shot out of the top of her hands. (Think wolverine in X men, but longer.)
Smirking out at the forest, Kagome bounded off as she zeroed in on a rabbit that was perfect for breakfast.
Inuyasha sat on the top of the stairs leading up to the shrine. He had watched the sunrise and felt himself relax for a short while as the world began to stir. He had spent a short while during the night helping a family in the village, nurse a sick child. His herb soup had helped the child and his fever had broken late last night. Allowing Inuyasha with some sleep, although his internal alarm had woken him at daybreak anyway.
Looking out upon the forest Inuyasha picked up his quiver and bow as he leisurely walked down the steps to the forest. He would find the human today that had been watching him and ask it what it wanted. Surely one that felt to be no threat to him could be reasoned with.
Kagome had eaten a short time ago and with her weapons extended, set off towards the shrine.
Today was the day and she was so close she could smell the magic pouring off the jewel. It was as good as hers.
Inuyasha had a brief moment to notice the blur of green shooting through the forest as he realized the human's intent. Shooting a barrage of arrows, he pinned the human to a tree.
"Why are you here and what do you seek?" Inuyasha queried the struggling human he had pinned.
Noting the raven hair and beautiful brown eyes, Inuyasha only hoped this was one of the smarter creatures. He didn't really like killing them off when he could help it.
"It's none of your fucking business." The human all but shouted back at him in a voice that to Inuyasha's surprise relaxed his tense muscles before he could control himself.
"I know what you are after human. The jewel is cursed. Leave this place and do not return." Inuyasha said in his most forceful voice. Fearing he had made no impression on her he looked into her eyes for any sign. He shook himself, as he got lost in the eyes of the beautiful beast.
Trying in vain to instinctively cross her arms and look intimidating, Kagome looked into the face of the hanyou and tried to keep her focus as she answered in her characteristic way. "Keh."
"Fine. I will leave you here. I warn you though, do not come for the jewel." Inuyasha left the human there and could not help himself for one last look at her before returning to his search for humans in the area who were intent on the shrine.
After a few minutes and some prying, Kagome got loose of the tree to finally go into her arrogant pose of arms crossed and scowled towards the trees. "Keh.' Was all she said as she backtracked to nurse her wounded pride for a while. Vowing to try again.
