Chapter Two
Kagome opened the doors to the mansion. She had lived here with her people
for as long as she could remember. Some men and women that had been sitting in
the couches nearby noticed her arrival, and cheered. It startled Kagome, but she
should have been used to it, they cheered every time she came back from a hunt.
Kagome gave off a weak smile. One of the women noticed the blood on her arrows
and gasped.
"Did you kill it, Kagome, did you kill the wolf demon?" She asked intently. The room
seemed to quiet a little.
"No, but I wounded it badly, got the arrow in his neck. We'll see if it makes it
through the night." She replied. Kagome then remembered she had homework to
finish.
"If you'll excuse me, I have work to finish." Kagome said politely, as she headed off
to her room. As well as a slayer, Kagome was a thriving senior student in the local
high school. She brought back good grades, but was finding it more and more
difficult to get things done on time.
Kagome looked through her window. She wanted one life. One life she could
devote herself to. She wanted to help people, not bring them harm. She wanted to
be a normal girl, the ones that went to movie with their friends and had boyfriends,
not avoided everyone and everything. Never in her years had she allowed herself to
fall in love, lest they get hurt because of her. With a sigh, she retuned to her
homework. The topic in her English essay was "How Can I Create Peace?" Kagome
sniggered. 'How appropriate,' she thought
The wolf demon burst through the doors of his mansion. The Lycan mansion
was stationed on the other side of town, away from prying human eyes. The miko
purifying energy was sinking in, burning every bit of his bloodstream as in spread.
He growled, and Ayame, the Lycan healer yanked the arrow out quickly. She
snapped at her, and shook himself, trying to rid of the energy. Ayame quickly
disposed of the arrow.
"Always gotta make a mess, don't you Kouga?" She said rolling her eyes.
Kouga growled again and ran up the stairs to his room, where he changed back to
human form. In human form, miko's had a much harder time sensing him. He pulled
on some pants just as Ayame walked in with medical supplies.
"Don't you knock, bitch?" He growled.
"You're bleeding everywhere." She informed him, ignoring his mean remarks. She
had known Kouga since they were young, she knew he was hard and tough on the
outside, but good-hearted inside.
He crossed his arms over his chest. "Whatever."
"Why do you let her hit you so deep?" Ayame asked, washing off the blood and
applying the gauze.
Kouga growled again. "I lost track, okay it's not like it'll happen again."
He said gruffly. Kouga's ego forbid him from letting down his pride.
"Fine, just be more careful, she's getting better." Ayame said. Being demon's, she
knew Kouga would heal fast, and she packed up her stuff and left.
Kouga pulled on a shirt and sat down in a chair by his desk. He thought about the
slayer. He'd seen her around before, but he didn't know where. She was good, really
good. She's kinda pretty…for a human. He thought, before turning back to his work.
