Chapter 2: Watching You
"You've never known anyone who wanted you to die so badly…You'll never know another who wants your blood to run through their fingers so much that it hurts because they don't. You think you are safe don't you? You really don't know the danger you are in...I sit here in the shadows...waiting patiently...watching you."
Kagome gathered herself and sped back to the village as if nothing had happened; taking a deep breath she allowed a smile to glide over her features. Stepping into Keade's hut she noticed that there was no struggle to keep her façade. It seemed almost natural to pretend, as if she had been doing it all along. The tainted miko grunted as she felt a small bundle collide with her stomach, forcing her to step back to keep balance. Messy red hair blocked her attacker's face, as he clung to her tightly, giggly in a way that reminded her of times when she was actually care free, Kagome hugged the hyper little kit back. Turning her attention to the other occupant of the hut, the young woman gave a smile to the old miko who sat on her knees. She caught the old woman's lips turned up in a warm grandmotherly smile before she turned her attention back to the eager pup.
"HI MOMMA!"
"Hello Shippo, how are you?"
She ruffled his hair in affection, though to Shippo it seemed as if something was missing from her usual greeting. Brushing it aside he began to relay all of the week's events to her. The shuffling of feet outside brought a whispered warning to those inside the hut and moments later Miroku and Sango walked in, followed by Inuyasha. Kagome fought against the temptation for her body to tense at his presence, instead she gave a very welcoming smile, and still no one but Shippo noticed the little piece of Kagome that seemed to be missing. Her eyes held less of an innocent glitter to them, it seemed that an…animal…Kagome's own demon lurked behind those caring eyes of hers and was howling to be set free. The scary thing though was that she looked as if she was barely holding it at bay. Sango gave a happy smile to Kagome and Shippo jumped from her arms as she was swept into a sisterly hug.
"Hello Kag-chan," the older woman practically shrieked.
Being alone with Miroku must have taken its toll on her, since the demon exterminator seemed to long for female companionship. It was amusing really, to be so in love with someone yet wanting nothing more than to escape them in the following heartbeat.
"Hi Sango-chan!"
Miroku gave a perverted grin and moved closer to the girls, placing a hand on each of the two young women's butts. Kagome and Sango's heads snapped to face Miroku who still wore his stupid grin.
"PERVERT," the flabbergasted females yelled at their offender.
Kagome slapped his right cheek and Sango followed up, slapping his left hard. Shippo rolled around in laugher and Kirara sat beside him with an amused twitching of her tail. They then proceeded to stomp on the monk until he was unconscious. Keade chuckled, eyeing the scene and accessing the damage in her mind. You would think they would get used to such treatment. The girls' still glimmered with evil intentions for the hurting monk.
"That is enough girls. I think he has learned his lesson."
"I don't think so! That perverted houshi needs a better ass beating," Inuyasha snorted, plopping himself down on the wooden floor.
Keade shook her head as the two women backed away from the wounded male. Sango cast a glance at Keade who was preoccupied and got in another good kick before the old woman turned to look at them once again. Sango and Keade went about preparing dinner without another word. Shippo jumped back into Kagome's lap and chattered wildly about everything. Kagome stroked his hair and tail responding when she felt he wanted her to. Inuyasha looked out the window having been quite amused by Sango's extra kick in on the monk. He turned around and looked up at Kagome to see her watching him, as if she was studying him for something…measuring him up. Inuyasha blinked then opened his eyes again to study her eyes; he shivered and thought to himself.
'For a moment I saw something else in her…I think. It was so cold...really weird….'
Kagome's demon had once again found its way into her eyes and watched the half-breed that had betrayed her. Growling to herself with a very satisfying malicious note she watched him and knew that he had seen, if only a glimpse at what lay in her. What other reason could there be for the fear that had suddenly flashed into his eyes and disappeared at what he thought was nothing?
M'kays. Like it? Love it? Review. Hate it? Loathe it? Move on. -Grins-
