To Fulfill One's Destiny
Chapter 7- Enter the Living Dead
"That seems to happen a lot nowadays."
Maria was now walking alongside the taiyoukai she shared Rin with. After noticing that her white uniform top was transparent when wet, she received Sesshomaru's haori to wear as a cover. Of course, he'd gotten a verbal beating beforehand for being a hentai and not notifying her without looking first, not that he'd admitted it or ever would.
"Yes you do seem to be altogether clumsy."
"You know, every time I think I just might be able to get along with you, you inevitably say or do something to change my mind."
Somehow that particularly stung Sesshomaru. Why did he care so much about her feelings concerning him? The answer to that seemed to constantly evade him.
"Hello?? You there?"
Startled out of his reverie, he angled his head to look down at her.
"See, and that whole aristocratic air you carry around. I wouldn't mind if you didn't go so far as to look down at me like I'm a midget or some piece of trash. Granted, I get the whole demon-human relations here now, but I 'd appreciate just a little more respect than you're giving me."
A silence followed. He turned and faced her fully, noting that she wasn't too much shorter than he was for the first time.
"That's better. Thank you."
"Why did you leave Rin alone."
"The deadpan too...well, I knew you weren't too far, and I figured you'd watch over her like always. Why did you follow me anyway?"
"You don't often leave her side."
"No really."
"And I am not always near."
"Riiight. Like I don't notice your presence. Anyway, if you're not always near, how did you know I don't often leave her side, hmm?"
Out of a nearby grove a soul-stealer flew and passed by.
"What was that?"
"A soul- stealer."
"Care to clarify that?"
"Not really."
"Well aren't you just a treasure trove of information...wait...Kagome mentioned one of those once..."
Suddenly Inuyasha appeared, walking in a daze toward the grove, where more soul-stealers appeared, like snakes beckoning to him, enveloping him once he disappeared among the trees. Realization stuck Maria like a brick.
"Aw crap."
The taiyoukai, startled by her language, stared at her, then glanced back to see Kagome tear off in the same direction Inuyasha traveled moments ago.
"Dead miko."
