A Night Time Stroll and The Test of The Green Kimono

Kagome sat quietly gazing into the fire in the center of Keade's hut, and to put it bluntly, she was bored. I don't see how I can be bored in the feudal era. A year ago everything was exciting, even doing nothing at all, and now, even fighting demons isn't all that thrilling.

"I'm going for a walk, okay?" she said standing up to leave. Sango stood to follow her, "Want company?" Kagome shook her head, "Naw, I'd like to go alone, I'll be back in a little while."

Her eyes landed on Inuyasha, she was secretly hoping he would try and follow her, or at least say something, but he hadn't said anything all through dinner. At the moment, he was staring intently into the fire.

What's going on inside that head of yours Inuyasha, she asked him silently. Turning she left the hut, but Sango had already read what she was thinking. "Inuyasha, why don't you go after her? She probably thinks she doesn't need protection with that new kimono of hers," Sango said nonchalantly.

Inuyasha didn't respond, "Inuyasha, did you hear me? I said you should follow Kagome" Sango repeated. The half demon seemed to be in a daze. Sango bonked him on the head with her fist, "Yo, doggie boy, you're true love wants you to follow her."

Inuyasha seemed to snap back to reality with the bonk on the head, "Huh? Wha-" Sango calmly repeated her herself for the forth time, "I said, you should follow Kagome, she probably doesn't think she needs protection because of her new kimono."
"Stupid wench, I told you not to get too cocky…" he mumbled under his breath as he left the hut.

************************************************************************************************

The chilled night air hit her face as she stepped out of the hut; she was slightly less bored now that she had something to think about.

What was up with him, he even ate his ramen slowly. Come to think of it, he's been weird since he saw me in my new kimono today. Hmmm, what could he be thinking?

Kagome continued to walk through the woods trying to come up with reasons he could be acting oddly. She came up with everything thing from he was sick, to he had had an encounter with Kikyo while she had been at home, but nothing she came up with seemed likely.

Suddenly a spear flew past her ear and lodged it's self into the tree behind her. A slippery voice sent a chill down her spine, "Ssstay sssstill human, I hate it when my dinner ssssqurmsss. Turning Kagome found the source of the voice, and in voluntarily shuddered.

The demon before her had the body of a tall and lanky human, but the head of a snake, and instead of skin it had scales. Oddly enough, it carried human weapons on it's back, including two more spears and a set of bow and arrows.

The demon threw another spear, and Kagome barely ducked out of the way as it sped past her and became embedded in the tree next to it's brother.

"I sssaid ssstay ssstill little human!" the demon cried as it lunged forward at her. Kagome leaned to the right and reached over the demons back as it dove past her, desperately grabbing for it's bow and arrows. Damn, I missed them!

Something Heavy bashed into her arm and wrapped around it, the demon had a tail! Whipping her through the air it let go with a snap and Kagome went sailing through the air, landing with a thud on her back.

In no time the demon was on top of her, it's fangs slowly extending from it's mouth. "Heheh, time to die little human,"…..
