When Kagome and Shippo got back they saw Shesshoumaru sitting against a tree with his eyes closed. Rin was sitting near an old tree stump, eating some pieces of meat that was sliced from the cooked deer. Since she was still carrying Shippo, she set him down and made her way over to Shesshoumaru.
Shesshoumaru was so deep into his thoughts about a certain amethyst-eyed youkai that he didn't notice said youkai's presence in front of him. Until he felt a gentle pressure on his cheek. . .
Kagome tried everything to get Shesshou's attention including yelling into his ear. He didn't even twitch.
Sighing, she finally decided to try one more thing before giving up on the distracted youkai lord.
She got on her knees beside him and, taking a deep breath, kissed him gently on the cheek.
Almost instantly, a clawed hand swept up and slashed at whatever was touching him. Kagome didn't have time to react, his claws being unbelievably fast, and was slashed on her left cheek.
The blow sent her backwards, stunning her, leaving her no choice but to rely on her instincts: To back down from something stronger to ensure survival.
She stood up and fled.
Shesshoumaru's eyes cleared from the haze they had been in earlier and he saw Kagome dash into the trees. Hurriedly, he followed her while trying to block out what had happened.
Meanwhile. . .
Kagome had reached the small river from earlier and knelt down, peering into the clear water.
The three slashes on her cheeks were bleeding, bright red blood staining the left side of her face. She thought about what had happened.
~FLASHBACK~
Kagome ran through the forest, holding her cheek. She was still in shock but recognised that she needed to clean herself up. She ran to where she had left her new kimono and the small pouch of herbs. Running swiftly, she got the items and ran over to the small river. She searched for a good spot to leave her clothes and other things, finding the perfect place on top of a large smooth rock.
Placing her things on the rock she turned around, taking off her blouse and skirt. Folding them carefully and putting them on the rock as well, she made her way to the river bank, clothed only in her sheer shift and black spankies. . . the kind cheerleaders wore.
She knelt down, avoiding the stones, and peered into the crystal clear water. . .
~END FLASHBACK~
She dipped a finger into the water, finding it cool but not cold. Standing up she took off what little remained of her undergarments. She let them fall to the ground in a puddle around her feet, not bothering to fold them before she entered the water. She waded in until she was in the water up to her waist.
And that was when Shesshoumaru found her.
Standing in water up to her waist, her bright red hair cascading down her back and front, the tip barely touching the water. . .
She was beautiful. . . ~*~
well, guys hope that you liked that one!
I really, really, REALLY had a hard time piecing this together, especially since I already had chapter 11 finished.
Well, see ya'll next time!!!
