Chapter 9- Early Morning Commotion
"SIT"
The cry rung out over the land, and a shadow shifted in her blankets. After some extra shuffling, she gently rose from her covers and looked down to find an extra bundle sleeping in her blankets.
The fox kitsune hadn't even noticed her waking.
The loud shouts that could now be heard would be bound to wake the others...
Eventually.....
Maybe not.
Slinking out of the tent, after pausing to smirk at her friend who would wake to find a monk snuggled up next to her, she gazed at the golden glow of the rising sun. How peaceful...
"SIT SIT SIT SIT!"
Well, you couldn't have everything. At least Kagome was speaking to him, sort of. A slight breeze blew by, and she gave a shiver.
"You wouldn't be in danger of catching every illness if you would wear decent clothing."
"Aww, how cute, for a moment, you actually sounded like you cared."
"I don't."
"Like I hadn't figured that out a long time ago."
There he was, the omnipresent taiyoukai standing right behind her, appearing from nowhere. Truth was, she had become so used to his ways that she hadn't even been startled when he spoke. While her back was still turned, he gave a cursory glance at her sleeping clothes. Well, at least he justified it to himself by calling it a cursory glance-really, he was all out staring.
Not that Maria hadn't noticed.
"It is perfectly normal for a girl in my time to dress this way. To me a tank top and shorts aren't really treading the line of indecency, alright?"
"Things are different here."
"So I've heard so many times before. Tell me, is it really that scandalous that you have to keep staring, or am I just that ugly." Now Maria had turned to face him, a serious expression on her face. He, on the other hand was shocked into temporary muteness.
"She really sees herself that way..."
Before he could even hope to respond, the sound of a crash could be heard and muffled swearing could be made out.
"Dios Mio, it's been twenty minutes already."
"The well I presume?"
"That, a schoolgirl that needs to get home, and a hanyou who won't let her." Suddenly, she turned and made her way in the direction of the commotion.
He followed, and though he had not spoken, she could sense the question he wouldn't voice.
"This has gone on long enough."
