Tainted Innocence

---------XxXxXx---------

"What the hell was that for, wench?!"

"You deserved it completely! So don't give me that!"

"Don't give you what?"

"……that!" Kagome groaned as she stormed off into the foliage. 'Kami, Strike him down and kill him for all I care! He can be so… …so ignorant! Kya! I don't even want to see him right now…hell, I don't want to see him ever! Him and his golden eyes…his long silver hair…who am I kidding…' Inuyasha quickly sprinted after her and grabbed her arm gently.

"Kagome…"

"I don't want to hear it! Wh…what if some demon came along and stole the Shikon Jewel?! Or…or worse! What if he would've eaten me!! Hmm? How would you feel?"

"…Well, if he took the jewel shard, I would've killed the damn bastard. But if he were to eat you, I think I woul-"

"Don't answer me, baka!"

"Wench!" Kagome stood there and looked at him in disbelief.

"T...take me home, now." Inuyasha shook his head and scooped her petite body into his arms. "Put me down! Now!"

He quickly jumped into the nearest tree and set her down on a branch next to him. He leaned against the trunk and closed his eyes.

"Ya know, you really are a handful at times. Always whining about how hungry you are, about how you miss home..." He waved his clawed hand in front of his face and opened one of his eyes to stare at the furious women known as Kagome, "Inuyasha! Save me!" He screamed in a shrilly voice.

Kagome just furrowed her brow together and stuck out her bottom lip in disgust.

'How dare he imitate me…he has no right! What so ever! Hmph!...And I don't even sound like that!'

Inuyasha closed his once open eye again and resumed his comfortable spot against the trunk. Satisfied, he let out a small yawn and smirked to himself.

'Keh. I got that wench wrapped around my finger when she has no other place to go……what the fuck?!'

Inuyasha quickly opened his eyes and stared at the hand that was rubbing his ear.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!?"

"They're just so cute!!" Kagome smirked at the expression on his face. Pure shock. 'Makes him look even cuter!'

"Wench! Get the hell off of me!"

He turned his head to side to get her soft hand off of his ears. Her hand just followed.

Inuyasha smirked to himself, knowing he enjoyed it, but was so 'tough' to admit it. He kept leaning until Kagome couldn't reach his right ear anymore.

"Inuyasha! Let me!" She whined and crawled over him, sitting in his lap to get to his ear. He just stared at her, startled by her movement.

'Is she still playing around, or did she really sit in my lap because she wanted to…'

Kagome quickly grabbed for his ear, laughing. He leaned to the side, and lost his balance.

"Ooh shit!" Kagome looked at him, feeling herself being pulled down by gravity.

She grabbed onto his hakama and screamed as they hit the ground. He felt the wind knock out of him as Kagome landed on his chest.

"Oi! Wench! Watch it; I'm not a damned pillow…" He wanted to sit up, but Kagome was on top of him and he needed to get hold of his breath again.

Kagome looked down at Inuyasha and had a burst of giggles, leaves and twigs were a-strained about in his hair and her own. She reached down and pulled a leaf out of his hair, smirking.

"Thanks for breaking my fall."

"Keh." Inuyasha rolled his eyes and turned his gaze upon her again. "Look who fell out of the ugly tree." It was his turn to smirk.

"Inuyasha!" She gasped and stared at him, but she soon saw the look in his eye. Ooh how she wished he was more like this, more playful.

"Now, if you don't mind…could you please get off?"

Kagome quickly blushed, faintly, and bent down brushing her lips against his cheek.

"…Am I disturbing something?"

Kagome quickly looked up seeing a smirking monk staring at the two with a raised brow.

"Am I? If I am, my apologies, and I shall be on my way." Miroku waved his hand down the leafy path in which he had just traveled down.

Kagome quickly jumped off of Inuyasha and stammered at the monk, her face bright red.

"N…no, w…we fell out of the tree, you see, ya know…with big green leafs and branches…and, and I just fell…t…that's all." She forced a convincing smile and ran her hand through her hair, leafs and twigs falling out at her touch.

'Smooth Kagome, smooth.'

Miroku just raised his other eye brow and let out a small laugh.

"Truly is a scene, you two." He turned on his heel and walked off, still chuckling. "Have fun you two, and next time, a tip from me to you, try somewhere more private! Less interruptions."

Inuyasha let out a small growl and quickly stood up, tempting to rip the monk's throat out at any given second.

"We weren't doing that you damned perverted monk!"

"Sure you were," Miroku turned again to face the two. "I'll be at the village, with Sango, come back when ever you're done. No worries, I won't interrupt again." He started to walk off, hidden amongst the foliage surrounding him.

Kagome let out a small groan and sank to her knees, still shocked from what happened, or well, what didn't.

Inuyasha turned to look at the girl, his expression blank, aside from the red fashioned across his face.

"I…I think we should start heading back now, Kagome."

She nodded once and got up, hands thrown to her side, and started walking back to the village where she knew that she was going to have to do some explaining.

---------------------------XxXxXx A castle in the near by distance XxXxXx------------------

"Oboroko," A girl turned to face her servant, at the sound of her name.

"Yes, Horokimi?" The servant bowed at her presence and walked over to her. "What do you need?"

"Oboroko, I have finished my task. We brought back the girl, she is in the dungeon."

"The dungeon you say, very well. I don't need you furthermore," She flicked her wrist as she mentioned toward the door. "Treat our guest……kindly."

She threw an evil smirk at her faithful servant, Horokimi, and watched him bow, an evil gleam shimmering in his eyes. She waited until he was gone and her door was closed with a soft creak.

She walked elegantly to her mirror, and smiled at her reflection, admiring her beauty. A distant scream came to her miko ears. A wide grin came across the long, red haired beauty with deadly blue eyes. Ooh yes, her plan…it was only but perfect.

She shifted her way across her room, and looked into another mirror.

"I, Oboroko, the greatest dark priestess, shall have her revenge!" With an evil laugh, she headed to her window; gazing across the dark sky that forever loomed across her castle. A vast, yellow plain surrounding her lands. In the near by distance, she saw a dark raven haired girl, and a silver hanyou walking side by side.

"Just wait………and you'll see…" A smirk slowly crossed her face as she stared out her window.

DISCLAIMER:

I do not own Inuyasha and co., unfortunately. Alas, maybe, just maybe, I'm related to Rumiko Takahashi and get them as a well-profound birthday present. But, only in my dreams will that ever happen. I would love to thank Rumiko though, for giving me her vivid characters to plot evil things with.
