Kagome's body was cold and she shivered at the warm hand that wrapped around her patite waist. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled softly as she saw Nuraku holding her securly in his arms. His wounds seemed to heal extremly fast. "Thank You." He wispered softly in her ear brushing his lips against her silky raven hair. She snuggled closer to his firm chest and let his warmth help her sleep. He layed his chin upon her head and relaxed in her scent. So gentle yet intoxicating.
Songo's eyes were still closed as she clutched the cold grass beneath her hand. She had a small headache and was in a state of confusion. She snapped open her eyes and pushed herself up with one hand and brought the other to rub her head. Songo's hard features seemed so angelic in the morning rays. A quiet moan came from behind her and she swung around. Songo rose to her feet as quickly as humanly possible. The sight before her astonished eyes was blood boiling and confusing. "WHAT THE HELL?" Kagome pused her head up as her eyes darted around the circle of trees landing on her friend in a cofused thought. "Huh?" 'What the hell? What does she....' "Fuck!" Kagome glanced to her side blushing furiosly. Songo grabbed her arm and threw Kagome back away from the cool Nuraku. He sat there with no expression on his pale handsome face, looking at Songo with wild eyes of a preditor. 'How dare she take my Kikyo....' His grin seemed so wicked and he stood his eyes glittering at Kagome and then he faced Songo. He tilted his head ever-so-slightly still with his wicked grin and looked her head to toe. "What the hell do you think your doing?!" Without thinking Songo grabbed her hiratsu, pulling it in front of her arm. 'No!' Kagome could barely whisper in her head yet alone useing her enchanting voice. The sight before her was killing her mind, everything she has been taught. Slowly Songo lowered her weapon and looked at him with pleading eyes. "Inuyasha would be looking for Kagome soon. You had better leave." She stood tall and determined but was so gentle of heart. 'Wha-what?' Kagome felt her heart lighted from the unexpected gesture, yet she did not know why. Nuraku turned his heal and began to walk away, glancing at the dumbfounded Kagome fallen on the hard dirty ground. For no reason at all he felt the urge to take her with him. 'She is too like the undead Kikyo.' His grin left after Kagome was not in front of him to stare at her unnoticably. "Thank you, ...Nuraku." Songo whispered in the winds a low tone only the three of them could here. He never looked back, only left into the vegitation of the thick forest.
Songo and Kagome walked along the trail that led to hot springs. Neither one caring that it was broad daylight and that they may be come upon at any time. Slowly they shed their clothes and dragged them into the water with them. "We must get the smell of Nuraku off of ourselves and our clothing in order to keep him safe." Songo never seemed to look up at Kagome who was studying her carefully. "What happened?" She had no emotion to her voice it scared her. She was beginning to sound like Kikyo. "Kagura, Kagura caught me off guard. She seemed to be fighting Nuraku. They glanced at me." Her voice seemed to really get into it.
FLASHBACK
"I hid behind a tree and watched some of it." "KAGURA! You have betrayed me for the last time." Nuraku's voice was cool and his face expresionless. Kagura's grin widened ever bigger as her eyes flashed wildly. "Nuraku you seem so helpless now that your all alone. My heart does not belong to you!" Songo looked at Kagome to see if she was still paying attention. "At first I thaught that she was his lover! I was appalled." "You can not leave me I am a part of you as much as you are a part of me." Nuraku looked at Kagura his eyes flickered. "I actually felt sorry for him as if I had someone so close, I loved so much turn on me. He seemed so helpless." Songo looked down. "I saw something flash behind Kagura. Like a person or weapon or something I did not know what to do. I didn't think clearly. I yelled to him to pay attention. Kagura noticed me." Her smile faded as she lifted her fan. Kagura flung her fan in a clean swipe in front of her. The trees protecting Songo fell to the ground in the thick vegtation turning most of it to dust. "A thick tree branch fell and hit me strait in the head, causing her to stary barely concience." Nuraku looked at the helpless woman who seflessly helped him. Kagura swept her arm again. A deep growl came in his throat. Nuraku lept to block the pathetic human and was struck. Songo looked at him with glossy eyes relizing what he did. That was the last thing she saw, but before going into complete unconciousness she heard a loud whailing noise. FLASHBACK END
"You see he saved me. And I spend so much time hating him." Songo sunk deeper into the warmth of the water. 'He did that for her?' Kagome felt jealouse?, but thankful above all else. 'He seems to have changed.'
