A while back she had come to a stop, looking onward her form sheltered by the thick trunk of a nearby tree. She saw the hanyou, and then there was a woman, a human woman. She looked happy for some reason. Mya's curiosity seemed to be at it's peak now, she'd never seen a human this close before. Besides her mother, and she didn't realize that they were so buddy buddy with demons either. They were talking about something, she didn't feel the need to eavesdrop but found herself doing it anyways. That girl was incredibly pale, chocolate brown hues staring almost lovingly towards the hanyou.
Her apparel was that of a priestess so she would automatically assume that, that happened to be the woman's occupation. A few words were exchanged and Mya herself could only make out the last sentence or so. "Meet me right here in front of the sacred tree and I'll bring you The Shikon no Tama Inuyasha." Inuyasha only nodded and then something that was quite unexpected happened, well to Mya at least. The woman had inched forward and planted a rather firm kiss upon his lips. Three more words were spoken and then she parted, running off towards the nearby village. The hanyou princess had been left rather speechless, and of course didn't waste anytime in getting away from the area she had been in.
A quick review of what had happened and she actually recalled the blush on the other hanyou's face. The one that woman had referred to as Inuyasha…he had seemed to be a bit shocked but nonetheless he was in love with the woman as well. Finally she had gotten a good distance away, about ten miles maybe now propped upon one a trees branches. Sitting and pressing her back firmly against the trunk of the tree, sighing her gaze going towards the sky above. A small smirk could be seen plastered to those innocent features of hers. More than likely it was from the display of affection she had seen between Inuyasha and that other woman. Mya merely nodded not even worrying about it much since it wasn't her problem anyways. Maybe she could warn him? Falling in love with a human had been one of the heart shattering things she had experienced too. But…it looked like he had everything out of control.
"Guess I won't interfere…it's not my choice or anything…"
"What's not your choice." That same firm voice from before had been heard again, only this time a couple of feet from where she had rested. Turning her gaze over the side of the branch rather abruptly, there Inuyasha could be seen. He was asking what she was rambling about, and sad enough she couldn't even tell him what it was. That result on her being found out, spying on him and his woman while they were having alone time at that tree. She chuckled dryly and glanced down towards him right upper appendage locking securely around the trunk of the tree. She would speak but of course not of what she had been referring to in the first place.
"Oh…it's you. I was simply rambling to myself."
"Feh, what exactly about girl?"
Mya laughed some shifting her gaze towards the edge of the branch she'd still been laying upon, not actually intending on telling him what she had actually been talking about. He could be heard seething from below…it was obvious that he wasn't very happy about being ignored, but however he did appear to be in somewhat of a good mood; probably because of that kiss. In a single bound Inuyasha he had landed upon the opposite end of the branch shaking it slightly as he moved to sit upon Indian style.
"Come on girl, spill." Mya blinked a few times obviously surprised at how quickly he had gotten up the tree but then again at his sudden demand. Another small chuckle from her as her eyes narrowed almost dangerously towards him.
"You really expect me to tell you when I barely even know you? I don't even have your name. As a matter of fact, you don't even call me by my name and I already gave it to you."
That was a good way to get it started, his name had been burning her tongue ever since that woman had said it. She wanted to try it out herself and since the hanyou had come back it would have been the perfect opportunity. "Feh, its Inuyasha." It was obvious that he hadn't really wanted to share that but if he weren't so nosey he wouldn't have this problem.
"Well Inuyasha.." It was fairly new, and she liked the way it just rolled off the tip of her tongue, but too much fascination would get the girl caught. A few short seconds later she continued her gaze falling towards the sturdy branch beneath them both.
"It's about a love interest of mine that I had in the past.. he broke my heart and sold me out." She smiled bitterly and leaned towards him again she now basically in his face, she was up close enough for a kiss or two but it was out of character for her to do that, however she continued with her little speech.
"How would you feel… if the one you fell in love with…just did that to you? Betrayed you…? How would it affect you..?" Maybe she had gotten to carried away or maybe not, he asked so she was speaking her mind. He didn't appear to be listening at all, what was more alarming than what she was saying was the distance she had closed between the two. The hanyou's eyes had been focused on Mya's lips the entire time. Humph, that shows that he wasn't really listening to her now doesn't it. After a few quiet seconds Mya had taken the liberty to speak since he obviously wasn't going to. But all that was spoken were the four syllables of his name.
"Inuyasha..?"
He panicked for some reason; he found the need to distance himself before something happened. In result he inched further and further away from her until he actually fell backwards off of the branch. A dulled out thud and next the sound of his pained moaning. Glancing over the branch itself Mya frowned when she saw him laying there on the ground face first it planted within the dirt rather firmly.
"What was with him..?" She wondered out loud and flashed the fallen hanyou a sympathetic look. "You okay..?" He didn't even speak until he got his face out of the dirt that is followed by him growling and dusting himself off not in the happiest of manners.
"Feh...i'm fine." Giving the princess one last glance he scowled and again just took off heading towards the dark parts of the forest. Mya of course wouldn't give it a second thought, there was obviously something wrong with the guy, maybe he didn't have them all or something. Back had been brought against the buckled texture of the bark both occuli falling closed in an attempt to get some sleep. The hanyou slept rather peacefully, the sound of screams, fire, just plain chaos had awakened her the next morning. By the sounds she only assumed that village of some sort had been under attack.
After listening to what had awakened her for a while, the hanyou just took off in it's direction hoping to find the source and stop it. Someone had wrongfully trashed a village full of innocent people, who would do such a thing? She hadn't even made it to the village when she came across Inuyasha. He was flying at top speed some sort of jewel clutched within his claws. That woman wasn't far off behind him, in fact she had strung a bow and now was aiming it towards him.
"Die Inuyasha!" Her cold monotone voice rang out through the forest her own arrow now being released. One thing Mya would notice would be the bloody gash on the woman's shoulder. Where had that come from? Was it her or had that girls scent change since last she saw her with Inuyasha last night. She was honestly puzzled, how could this woman be hating Inuyasha…when she sat there and watched her kiss him? The arrow had now been tearing through the air, a bright film of miko energy surrounding it. Inuyasha had saved her life the night before, so this could have been her chance to repay him right? Her blade was known as Kusinagi and it had been pulled from it's sheath a faint film of demonic energy covering it's blade. Mya had leapt forward unsheathing the blade it now colliding with that woman's arrow.
Both different types of energy clashed for a long while, and all Mya managed to do was throw it off its course. It had after all been headed towards Inuyasha, but it seemed that it had missed him burying itself into the surface of a nearby tree. Inuyasha would skid to a halt not even two inches away from the arrow itself. His glance then diverted towards that woman the jewel that he had held within his grasp slowly dissipating into thin air. The wound on he shoulder had been bleeding quite profusely her free hand now going to grasp at it. She was obviously physically in pain but seemed to be hurt somewhat emotionally also.
"How could you betray me Inuyasha?" She groaned in pain afterwards her verbal assault continuing upon the confused looking hanyou. "I won't rest until I've put you away for good!"
Again she reached for her bow that had been dropped the woman again groaning in pain. Inuyasha growled somewhat annoyed after he had indeed heard her words but was more interested in why the damn jewel had just had completely dispersed. "What the hell are you talking about Kikyo! You're the one who decided to break the promise!"
This whole argument seemed to be elevating to a whole different level, and Mya just simply watched attempting to get a better understanding of what the hell was going on. She didn't waste anytime, that woman was actually willing to take the life of Inuyasha without even reasoning. Stringing another bow she again called out to him pointing the arrow directly towards his chest. Mya shifted feet hitting against the dry dirt rather quickly, she skidded past Inuyasha and grabbed hold of his hand pulling him out the way. "Let's move it! She's gonna try and kill you."
She yanked him a long hard and quickly and he began to follow hesitantly. They had actually cleared some good distance dodging the flying arrow that had seemed to follow them for a long while. Finally Inuyasha jerked back upon Mya's hand almost causing her to fall. His gaze was clearly directed towards the direction they had just left. He must have detected the same thing that Mya had. The woman he had called Kikyo had retreated going back towards the village she guessed. Mya had still been somewhat confused…why in the hell had she attacked him? There was something odd going on and maybe she would find out in the near future.
"What the hell happened..?" Whispered Mya as she turned her attention towards the hanyou. He still hadn't looked at her yet and could tell that he was angry and in deep thought at the same time. She wanted to ask even more questions but wasn't sure if he would even be in the mood or even in his right mind to tell her. "Inuya..." Before she could finish her sentence Inuyasha had gripped hold of her hand this time pulling her along.
"Let's go, it's not important."
He was somewhat hostile pulling her along rather forcefully. In a matter of minutes he had picked up speed still latching onto her arm as if he would regret if he left her behind. Both of the hanyou's moved for a bout twenty minutes straight nonstop throughout the forest them heading somewhere Mya really couldn't make out since she didn't know the area. Finally through quick paced pants she called out to him as they still moved the grip on her wrist becoming painful and almost unbearable. She didn't complain though, she was more interested in where the hell they were going.
"Inuyasha! Where are we going?" Picking up her pace to keep beside him she listened for his voice and heard it only a short while later.
"Away from here… somethings not right there. I can sense something bad already."
Then he stopped somewhere deep within the forest, that happened to be isolated and maybe perfect for a quick camp for the night. Mya pulled her arm free from his grasp and sighed some as her hand came to rub at it. She didn't ask questions, if something bad was going to happen she guessed that she should have been somewhat grateful Inuyasha had saved her. It was somewhat obvious that he was now scouting the area, incase a demon or two decided to bother them for the night. He finished within a few minutes turning his gaze back on Mya.
"We'll be safe here for tonight.." Smirking he moved towards one of the trees and jumped up towards the branch seating himself. Mya had watched him intently wanting to know what he had in mind for them to do. He had brought her with him, and that was something she wouldn't have really expected. Maybe they were allies now? Because of how they helped each other back there. She hadn't the lightest clue but decided on not asking questions tonight because of how everything was going so far. Maybe a good night's sleep would clear the tension. Questions would come in the morning.
