"I won't make a fool of myself. you're the fool for picking the fight!" Koga shouted as he rushed Lady Akitsu. She cocked her eyebrow and in the blink of an eye she was gone. "What the-"
"Over here arrogant fool!" the tora shouted from across the clearing. Koga glanced behind him and glared at her.
"For a tai-youkai, you are quite unprofessional." Koga mocked. She growled deeply and looked at him submissively.
"You know you should watch your tongue." Lady Ami stated calmly and her hair began to blow in a sinister manor, warning Koga not to take another step. He stood there and watched her placidly, looking for her weak spot. She crossed her arms and held her shoulders close, keeping her fan in her right hand. She looked to the ground and began to chant gibberish that Koga couldn't understand. Then in one moment her eyes turned completely emerald green and her head shot up. Her fan glimmered the same tone as her eyes and in an instant, both turned as sky blue as her original eye color.
"Uh oh! I'm in trouble now!" Koga said and charged at the tai-youkai before him. She glared at him and her face showed a deadly smirk that would have froze hell over.
"You sure are wolf prince!" the tora shouted and slashed her fan out at him and cried out, "ICE STORM!" Instantly, showers of ice shards flew at Koga who fell on his rear to dodge the assault. He looked at her in disbelief, gawking at her. She smiled sweetly and disappeared, reappearing behind him and resting her head on his shoulder. "Told ya!" she said playfully. Koga took a swipe at her head but missed when she disappeared.
"Oh come on! This isn't fair!" Koga said and stood up glancing around. Just then, Lady Akitsu materialized on his shoulders.
"Oh isn't it?" she spoke innocently and wrapped her legs in between his arms and his body. Then, without warning, she flipped backward and landed neatly on her hands, leaving Koga kicking in the air. She had an amazing sense of balance and, even through his flailing, could stay in a handstand without breaking a sweat. "Give up yet?" she giggled sweetly and her legs wrapped tighter. Koga's blood was rushing to his head and he was getting dizzy.
"F-fine! Just put me down-n!" he said as the world around him began to sway.
"Okay then!" Lady Akitsu spoke childishly and she spread eagle, letting him fall face first to the hard ground. She did a double back flip to her feet and looked at the pathetic demon before her. She could have slain him right then and there, but she didn't want to. '.oh gods.why can't I just kill him.?' she asked herself and stood over him. He blinked his eyes open to see her hovering over him with a swallow pointed directly at his neck. He froze and looked up at her in helplessness. She bit her lower lip and she growled at herself. She wringed the rod in her hands, ready to strike, but also stalling for time. She was picking a daisy in her head. '.to kill.not to kill.'
***Inu Yasha ***
The whole crew had been quiet for quite some time now. They didn't know what to say. Inu Yasha was up in a tree thinking deeply and Sango, Kagome, Shippo, Rin, Miroku and Angie were sitting beside each other eating rice balls and dumplings. Rici was sitting in the shadows with her blanket wrapped tightly around her. Kirara was snuggled beside her and the neko slayer stroked her soft fur. Miroku walked over to Rici's dark figure and sat down silently. Rici jumped at his voice, unaware that he was there at first.
"This is a series of fortunate events wouldn't you agree?"
"How so? I think it's way to quiet around here. And Inu Yasha hasn't even growled the whole day." Rici whispered.
"Well for one thing Inu Yasha's life was spared. Not to mention the arrival of your sister. How long has it been since you last saw her?"
"About nine years." Rici replied with tears swelling in her eyes.
"Well don't you think it's about time to catch up? Nine years is a long time when you count them as human years. Youkai years are another story-"
"What would you know about my being in human years still? Who said anything about that?" Rici asked raising her voice in agitation.
"I deduced that myself. Seeing as you only have three stripes. And don't blow up at me because I'm not making fun of you. I'm just answering your question." Miroku stated calmly and offered Rici a rice ball.
"Fine. Well once I obtain my fourth mark, I will be in youkai years. Just as Inu Yasha is." She said dreamily and sighed. "But I don't want that just yet. I like being a virgin, even if it means getting teased. It's kind of fun at times."
"How so? You like getting teased?" Miroku asked quizzically.
"Well, it's fun to watch male youkai squirm. Take Sesshomaru for instance. When we were at the hot springs he about raped me. But Sango and Kagome were there. Plus he had his mind on his adopted daughter at the time, so he didn't bother. Speaking of which, when do you think he'll come back for her?" Rici queried glancing over at the girl beside Angie.
"I think he's going to keep her here until he comes for Angie." Miroku stated while taking a bite of his pastry.
"Well I hope he does. With the rate we're at, we're only going to have enough food for two more days." Rici said looking at Kirara and feeding her some dumpling. She purred happily and cuddled in the neko youkai's lap. Miroku nodded and looked over at Rici.
"Why are you so mad at me Rici?" Miroku asked sheepishly. Rici's ears turned red.
"What makes you say that?" She whispered, completely embarrassed.
"It's written all over your face. You can't even look me in the eye." He said and sighed.
"OKAY! Everyone up! It's time to get going! We've already wasted enough time just sitting here. Lets go!" Kagome said and stood up. No one moved. "Come on. We all saw it. lets just get over it and move on with our lives!" she huffed and looked at the weary crew. "Well fine then! I'm going home for a while. I'll gather some more supplies. If I don't get back in time, buh bye Angie!" She stated cheerfully and got on her bike. With her pack in hand, she kissed Shippo goodbye and left. '.thank you Kagome, you saved me a VERY embarrassing explanation.' Rici thought and she got up. She walked over to the base of the tree Inu Yasha was perched upon. She hopped up and sat in front of him.
"Come one Inu-kun, you're not going to even thank her?" Rici said looking into his amber eyes. He said nothing and avoided the stare as best he could. "She saved your life and you have nothing to say." She said getting annoyed and she grabbed his chin, forcing him to look at her. "You should give your gratitude. You're very ungrateful." She said before letting his face go. She turned away and swung her feet back and forth. Inu Yasha hopped out of the tree and stood beside Angie.
"Could you come with me for a moment?" he asked shyly and walked off in the direction of the clearing they were at before. Angie got up and trudged after him. He stopped in the middle of the clearing and sat down in the soft grass. Angie bit her lower lip and sat beside him.
"You wanted to talk Pocky-chan?" Angie said while entwining her toes in the grass.
"Hai. I wanted to talk." Inu Yasha said solemnly. There was a long silence and Angie interrupted.
"About what might I ask?"
"About today. Why did you do it?" Inu Yasha asked.
"You know why. You shouldn't be asking. I just hope you would have done the same."
"But I don't even know you. Why would you help a person who you don't even know? What if I wasn't worth saving? What if I had done something and deserved being killed?" The inu hanyou stated as he lay back in the long grass. Angie blinked and considered his words. Then she touched her temple ever so slightly and hundreds among thousands of lilies, daisies, and irises rose in the air. She released and they fluttered to the ground slowly, covering the couple in the colorful bouquet.
"Have I wronged? Inu Yasha, did I save you for the wrong reasons?" Angie said caringly and she lay down upon one of his outstretched arms.
"I supposed not." The half dog demon replied and caught a lily in mid-air. He handed it to Angie and he held her close. She smiled and sighed into his chest. Kagome was heart broken.
