She's Not Mine
Chapter two:
The Girl and the Monk
They were just out of view of the village, but the path the group was using was quite familiar to all of them. They were happy to be getting back to Kiade's hut, and were looking forward to the rest. But the other traveler on the road did not know where she was, only that she had picked up his scent, and was closing in on him. Soon, she told herself, soon I'll get some answers.
Inu Yasha picked up on the stranger's scent, and stopped walking. He didn't like the smell of her; something was fishy about it. He almost recognized the scent, but it had so many different elements to it he couldn't decipher what it was he recognized. She smelled hostile and upset, and if he was correct in his assumption, that wasn't a good mix for a girl. He flicked the crossbar of his sword, ready for battle. She was moving at a high speed and was closing in fast. By the time the others noticed that the hanyou had stopped, he had drawn the Tetsuiga(tell me if I spelled it wrong and I'll fix it) and the girl had come into sight. Shipou hid behind Kagome, but Sango and Miroku prepared themselves for an attack. The girl came from up in the trees, and leapt at them with her sword drawn, but she didn't even seemed to notice Inu Yasha. She was heading straight for Miroku.
Miroku saw her coming and started to undo the cloth on his wind tunnel, but Sango grabbed him, yelling that he would be cut by her sword if he tried to suck her in. all he had time to do was raise his staff and block her attack. She twisted her sword, and used it to fling the staff out of his hand. It landed in the dirt, not far off the side of the road. He cried out, and almost ran for it, but the girl had put her blade to his throat, and her free arm around his waist. The others stopped where they were, all of them in the process of running to his aid, but froze when she tightened her grip on her blade, making it flash in the golden light of the afternoon. If it weren't for her blade at his throat, Miroku could have said he enjoyed being held by the girl like this, but the moment the thought entered his mind, she pressed the sword just a little bit harder against his neck, making it more difficult for him to breathe. "Pedophile," she whispered in his ear, the heat of her breath making his head swim and his heart race. "Ulch," she said looking away from him in disgust, which made him realize she could read his thoughts and feelings. "I can't read you, imbecile, not the way you read a book at least. Besides, a book would actually have something in it to read." He caught the insult and she laughed.
The others just stood there confused at what had happened. Only Inu Yasha had caught the word she muttered in the monk's ear, but even that didn't explain much. "Who are you, and what do you want with us?" asked Sango, who was trying hard to hide the fact that she was scared to death for Miroku. She was surprised that a girl no more than eight years old could have overtaken the monk so easily, but that just made her more cautious.
"Don't worry, Sango. You can have your priest back when I'm done with him. He's the only one I want right now."
"How do you know my name?" asked the demon hunter.
"I know a lot of things, Sango, but unfortunately Miroku doesn't remember off the top of his head who I am, so I will have to probe deeper somewhere else. Now if you'll excuse us," the girl said as she effortlessly bounded up into the trees, carrying Miroku with her. Sango ran after them for a moment, but then called Kirara.
"Follow them, Kirara, and if she does anything to harm him, kill her." The fire cat growled in agreement, then leapt into the air, bursting into flame, and began to follow the two.
Kagome put a hand on her friend's shoulder. "Don't worry Sango, he'll be fine. She did say that we would get him back, which means she isn't planning to kill him, so that's good right?"
"But what if she means to torture him?" she asked, her voice full of worry.
"She could be lying you know," added Inu Yasha.
"Sit boy!" yelled Kagome, making the half demon collapse into the ground. When the spell wore off, he got up and shook his fist at her retreating form.
"What the hell was that for?!" he yelled at her back.
"You're not helping," she said as she continued to walk with Sango to the village, leaving him standing there fuming.
