Chapter 25: Ogres Aren't as Smart as They Look
"This sucks…" Kagome muttered. "My head hurts. My wrist is bleeding, so are my ankles. Shit…" she mumbled on and on.
"Your quiet a beautiful one, Kagome-sama." A voice sang as it came closer.
"Kugutsu…" Kagome gasped as she swung herself backward, her hair trimmed a little bit now so that she could clasp her hands to the branch holding her feet and look straight at the approached.
"I am no longer Naraku's Kugutsu. He is…out for the moment so…I will be doing what he wasn't able to do." The kugutsu licked his lips. "You're beautiful…very beautiful."
"I won't take this. Please…go away…I don't want these low class youkai to get involved with you." She said pleadingly as she heard the rustle of waking form the ogre's camp beyond her tree.
"Ah! Then they'll be a lovely trap. Instead of doing it myself…I can take your jewel shards and be on my way…with you dead of course." He flew over the branch passing an icy hand across her face.
She shivered as she twisted her head around to watch helplessly.
*--*--*
"Kagome…Kagome…Kagome…Kagome." Inuyasha muttered as he looked from tree to tree and clearing to clearing.
"You! Stop right there!" some soldiers came up behind him. They were all uniform like and thinking there high and mighty until…Inuyasha turned around.
They shrunk away but held their ground. "We will have to arrest you."
"Psst. Inuyasha." Tastunai whispered from a nearby bush.
"H-how the hell did you get here?" Inuyasha jumped.
"I'll distract them. You go in that direction. I can sense Naraku and Kagome over there."
"Fine." Inuyasha walked in the direction she pointed.
The soldiers looked at him. "Oi! Where the hell are you going?!" they yelled in unison.
"Hey big boy…er...boys." Tastunai said from behind the bush in a seductive voice.
They ran over like wolves on meat and looked down at her lustfully.
"I have a pain…here…" she pulled up her pant leg up to about her panty line and sighed.
Inuyasha watched. "She knows her stuff." He went on.
*--*--*
Tastunai dusted her hands off as she smiled. "Well…a pervert at heart. Let's find Miroku and Sango." She said to Kirara who had accompanied her.
They ran away. The soldiers lay in a heap all tied up and growling at the girl.
"Ja ne, Tee hee!" she threw them the peace sign as she and Kirara skipped away.
*--*--*
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Come on! Inuyasha! Hurry!" Kagome cried as Naraku's kugutsu lifted up the ogres all in one heap. He whispered something to them.
They all shook their heads.
The kugutsu looked taken aback. "You don't know me?" he asked.
"No, weirdo!" they all cried.
"You aren't as smart as you look ogres." Naraku growled as he threw them.
"Who the heck are you, you baboon freak?!" the leader yelled.
"I am Naraku…the lord of darkness."
"No you aren't!" Kagome yelled form the back.
"You shut up!"
*--*--*
"Kagome! Kagome, where are you?!" Inuyasha yelled through the forest.
"No you aren't!"
"You shut up!"
He heard the yells.
"That was Kagome's voice." He whispered as he followed the sound of brawling.
*--*--*
"You will kill the miko." Naraku ordered.
"What miko?" they all asked.
"What mi—the one over there!" he looked over to the branch Kagome had hung from. "Huh?" she was gone.
"Loser." Kagome said.
"Go to hell!" Inuyasha yelled as his Tetsusaiga transformed and he sliced the kugutsu down the middle.
*--*--*
"Sango! Miroku!" Tastunai called.
"Tastunai? Did you find Kagome—Hey! Where's Inuyasha?!" Sango yelled as she lifted Hiraikutsu and looked around. "He better not be alone with Kagome."
"They probably are." Tastunai muttered. "Anyway, I left him to look for her and dealt with the soldiers attacking him."
"Let's get inside then and wait." Miroku said quietly as he crept toward the mansion ahead. He put a seal over the door and the people ran out screaming. "Hehehe."
"What did you do?" Sango asked.
"Oh…uh…." He stopped and went in.
Sango grabbed his shirt collar. "Youkai?"
"Hehe…how'd you know?"
"Stupid. Let's go." She said as she walked in before Miroku.
"You're a good trickster." Tastunai said as she followed Sango in.
"I know." Miroku went in and closed the door.
*--*--*
"You know, ogres aren't as smart as I thought they were." Kagome commented as she and Inuyasha walked down the road. Her ankles and wrists were still bleeding so she was tripping and stumbling as she left a small trail of dark blood.
"They were smart enough the tie your legs tight enough." He said as he crouched on.
"Thanks." She climbed on and he continued his steady but slow pace. "I need ot stop this bleeding."
"Use this." Inuyasha ripped a piece of cloth off his shirt with his teeth.
"Oh, thank you." She said in Engrish as she wrapped her wrists with the piece of cloth. "They hit a vein."
"Shit." Inuyasha muttered.
"It's alright. I'll live. I've had this happen before." She said sadly.
"Did you do or--."
"Heaven's no!" she cried. "Why in the seven hells would I do that?"
"Well…not being excepted kind of makes you want to do it." He said in a barely audible voice.
"Oh my…don't talk that way. It makes you sound stupid." She said.
"Thanks." He said sarcastically.
"Well…at least your alive." She said in a muffled voice because she had her mouth on her wrist and was tying a knot.
"Feh, at least I'm alive? People want me dead. No one wants to know—Ow!"
"Shut up. I hate negativity. I'm glad I met you. Really glad. Is your brain the size of a walnut or something?" she said as she kicked his ribs.
"No…a Clementine." He said sadly.
"That's what I thought."

WEEE! That was fun.
I haven't updated because…well….I was on vacation in Wildwood for a week. It was sooo much fun. We went there with my best friends family and such but that's beside the point. I'm back and kickin' ass…
