chapter 6. An Unseen Meeting
Kouga counted the hours at which he stayed in the bed that had been provided to him. He was sure that by now, he would healed already. He sighed impatiently as Sora poured some water into a bowl and handed it to him. He took it greedily and quickly drank it's contents. Sora smiled at how his strength had returned.
"Take it easy Kouga, it's not going anywhere." she said in a laughing sort of voice. As he gulped down the last mouthful he looked at her and smiled.
"I know, but that doesn't make me any less thirsty." he retorted. He held the bowl out to her. "More." he said as she took it. She sighed as she stood up and left the hut. She walked towards a nearby stream. She looked into it's clear and sparkling water.
She lowered the bowl to the water and allowed it to fill up before she took it back out. She looked at her reflection in the water. In the waters reflection, she saw something move behind her. She had brought no arrows, or bows. She stood up slowly with the bowl held tightly in her hands.
She felt a presence directly behind her. On instinc she turned around and tossed the bowl at whatever was behind her. She heard the bowl shatter as it made contact with it's target. She looked at what she had hit and gasped.
She had hit the very being that had saved her life not long ago. She blushed with embarassment as she knelt down next to it and tried to look at it's face. Whatever lied behind the hood was knocked out at the moment. She moved her hand closer to him, until she touched his hood. She pulled it back and gazed at the unconcious face she saw.
It was a man's face that laid still and unmoving. She brushed some loose strands of blood red hair from his face. His pale skin made him seem like he was ill. She noted the small bleeding on the head from where the bowl had hit him. He smelled demonic, yet. He showed no sign of demonicy. She shrugged lightly as she sat back and waited for him to awake. Sure, Kouga would be furrious she wasn't around him, but still. She was responcible for him being out in the first place.
It didn't take long, before his red eyes opened and went wide with surprise. Then his face soon went back to an emotionless state. He stood up slowly as he took into account the hit on his head.
"I'm sorry for that." she said while bowing her head politely. He looked down at her with soft eyes and knelt next to her. He put his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes. She gave a slight yelp with surprise at the motion.
"Do not be sorry, for I was the one who snuck up on you. As beautiful as a tiger is, if you get too close, it is bound to strike." he said in a cold and strong voice. She blushed as he spoke. Her ears twitched at the sound of his voice. As she gazed into his eyes she saw a glint of silver behind his red orbs.
She felt her body go stiff as he gazed at her. A large blush spread across her face as she noticed he was moving ever closer to her. She felt like being torn two ways. Part of her wanted to go to Kouga, and the other wanted to stay with this new demon. Her thoughts were interrupted by his lips pressing against hers. It lasted only a moment before he broke it and stood up. He smiled down at her and her confused and dumbstruck face.
"I shall come to see you again m'lady." he said in his strong voice. At the moment only one question raced through her mind. As he began to walk away she just had to ask.
"Who are you?" she asked lightly. He turned his head and smirked at her. His demon fangs showing as he did.
"I'm known as many things m'lady. However, yee may call me Kaid." he said before drifting into the darkness.
Sora just sat their looking at the spot from which he came and left. Her heart pounded like thunder hitting the ground. A small smile formed on her lips as she sat. She stood up slowly and walked back to the village with her eyes looking out into space.
"Kaid." she mummbled under her breath. She walked into the hut where Kouga slept. Luckily, he was sound asleep. Sora sat in a chair next to his bed. She pressed her first two fingers against her lips in thought. He was certainly one, for making wonderful first impressions. She smirked at the word wonderful.
As her eyes caught sight of Kouga sleeping her mind seemed to snap back to reality. She had forgotten all about Kouga again. It seemed to happen, only when Kaid was around. She gave a soft giggle as she said his name in her mind and as she remembered how swift and smooth he was. Was she truely falling for him. She needed help on this situation and, she knew exactly where to get it. Two names came to mind. Sango and Miroku.
