Inuyasha walked up to the demon and grabbed the shard out of its head, and its skin fell away as its bones crumbled. "There's something fishy about that woman, Kagome. And I'm going to find out how she can kill a demon so easily, especially when it's as powerful as she is." Inuyasha told her, dropping the shard into her hand after wiping it off.
"I like her though. She stopped of her own accord, and it seemed that she resented having to do that. But I think the two of them have some kind of past. What do you think Inuyasha?"
"I think we should go after her and keep a close watch on her, for all we know this could be elaborate scheme of Sesshoumaru's..." Inuyasha remarked, kneeling down for Kagome to climb onto his back.
"I agree with Inuyasha, even though Royce does seem friendly enough." Shippo said as Kagome picked him up before climbing onto Inuyasha's back.
"I still say she's nice though. Inuyasha if you question her, be nice about it. Or I'll say the word." Kagome says stubbornly as Inuyasha jumps towards the others.
Royce reached Sango and Miroku first, obviously deep in thought, but Miroku Questions her anyway. "What happened? Are you alright?"
Royce looks at him, looking as if she's just woken up. "Everyone is fine. I encountered an, old friend." She explains, half-smirking, and sits down. "Inuyasha Kagome and Shippo are on their way back now. Let's sit and wait for them."
Sango glanced at Miroku, but said nothing and sat down. "Are you sure their on their way, Royce?" She was still uncomfortable with the strange demon in their midst.
"Yes I am quite sure, and I know you don't trust me. But I'm not trustworthy and I don't deal out trust myself so you have every right to be." Royce states and grabs a rock off the ground and starts sharpening her claws on it, making a dull screeching sound like nails on a blackboard. Sango and Miroku cover their ears against the sound, and Kilala immediately stands up and starts hissing.
