Melting the Ice

----------

Poor Boy

------

InuYasha narrowed his amber eyes. "Damn wench."

Kags raised her hand and it flew, faster than most could see, including Miroku, and hit InuYasha square on the face. "Call me that again and I'll do worse." Kags returned the poor boy's glare and stomped off.

"Damn wench." Declared InuYasha, glaring at the back of the girl's head as she stomped off.

10 Years Later.

A young woman stood in the early morning of the City sunshine. Her midnight black locks caught the light, and her pale skin looked as white as snow. Her body had grown, and was now fully rounded out, making her a complete hit with the guys. She turned her head and glanced eastward, her smokey blue eyes looking like the ocean on a cold frigid day.

Her eyes narrowed, and she glanced at the setup of her thief unit the Boss had granted her. They were all in their right spots. This hit would be good.

She nodded to her thief, who was her second in command. A tall girl, with straight ebony hair, her skin shimmered in the early morning light, nodded back. Her eyes were a dark brown, and reminded you of dark chocolate. Her body was still in development.

The young woman glanced back towards the North. She walked forwards to the place where they were hitting. Unfortunately for the young woman, she was the decoy. But her whole division had agreed on it, and her second in command knew what to do. She slowly approached the building, her body moving with a cat-like grace, developed after being caught on her first hit.

She pushed open the door, and her the chime of the bell. It was one of the richer stores in the City, also one of the few ones that had the arrogance not to put up some sort of alarm system. The young woman walked through the store, her eyes never leaving her target. She waved her decorative fan, stolen from long ago, catching the target's eye. She watched as he eyed her, and than smiled with pleasure. She smiled back, her best 'oh I'm a beautiful innocent woman' smile.

"Why hello Sir. Looks to be a nice day doesn't it?" The man smiled. He fell for it hook, line and sinker.

"Yes it does fine Lady. May I inquire as to your name?" She smiled, and shook her head.

"No Sir. My father told me not to tell my name to anyone. Not even you, a perfect stranger." The man grinned.

"I don't have to be a stranger, little lady." The young woman mentally flinched. She hated doing these jobs, especially when the men she was teasing were as blonde as her arrogant, jerk of a rival.

"Well, how you about you come back here with me, and you can introduce yourself," The man smiled, and she flinched again. "Don't hope for much."

"Don't worry little lady, I won't." She nodded, and flashed her fan in front of her face. She walked to the back of the store, and gently pushed open the door that lead on to the alley like the rest of the buildings in the City.

She stood there, the wind blowing her hair ever so slightly. The man looked her over, and smiled with pleasure. Her waist was tiny; he could probably wrap his arm around it. Her bosom stuck out of the top of her dress, and they looked full and tender.

"Well Sir, may I inquire as to your name?"

------

The second in command grinned her mischievous, and famous grin. "C'mon gang, looks as if Kags did it." The men grinned. They had all loved seeing their Lady dressed up so pretty like a proper lady. It sent shivers down most men's backs. They didn't dare say a word of it to her though; she would slit their throats faster than they could say 'beautiful'.

-----

"Hiten, little lady." The young woman smiled. He was the player type. Like most men back where she lived.

"Well Sir, shall we go for a walk?" The man grinned. To see the look of his rival's face when he walked in with what had to be the most beautiful woman in the City.

----

The second in command and her group stood in the shadows, as they watched the man and their leader walk down the block, not even bothering to lock his doors. It would be so simple.

She turned her head back and nodded. She stepped forward into the light, a bag over her shoulder. "C'mon gang, lets go. We don't have very long."

------

Hiten and his consort stepped into a shop a few minutes later. It was quaint; cozy, but small. "So fair lady, what would you like? I'll buy you anything." The young woman looked up at the man and smiled. She loved it when she got a bonus for her work.

She stepped forward and went to the case that held the jewellery. Inside of the case were ruby necklaces, diamond rings, white gold bracelets, sapphire encrusted hair clips, and emerald drops. She examined the case, and chose upon a set of white gold bracelets, emerald drops, and a sapphire hair clip. She might as well make him pay.

"Sir, I would like these." Hiten walked over to her and nodded his head in approval.

"You have good taste little lady."

"Thank you Sir."

"Store owner, I would like these wrapped for the lady." Now the storeowner lifted his head and glanced at the woman and her consort. His eyes narrowed in displeasure, and they took on an angry glow.

"Yes, Sir." The owner snarled, as he glanced over the woman. She mentally rolled her eyes. If she could change one thing about herself, it would be her beauty. She hated it. It was a curse her parents must have placed on her.

He pulled a box out from below his cashier box, and some tissue. He wrapped the jewellery gently, and put it in the box. He handed it to the woman, and she smiled her thanks.

"Why thank you Storeowner."

"It is no problem Lady." He glanced over her one more time. She had a certain air about her, which made her attract people's attention. Her body was beautifully developed, and he smiled in pleasure.

"Fine lady there Hiten. Is she yours?"

"Unfortunately, no. I had the good luck for her to stumble into my shop this morning, so I brought her over to show you. Isn't she beautiful?"

"Yes Hiten, she is. Which makes me wonder why she is with you." Hiten glared at the man, and he smiled in satisfaction.

"I don't wonder." The man nodded, and looked towards his consort.

"Well little lady, we should be going." The young woman nodded in agreement.

"Thank your for the jewellery Sir."

------

The second in command smiled. It had been to easy. All of the jewellery, the money, and anything worth a fair amount, were gone. Kags was a genus, if not even a complete and total man hater, which was just too bad for her.

-----

Hiten and the young woman enter Hiten's store. Nothing looked out of place, and when she looked around her skilled eye noticed all of the missing loot. "Sir, do you know the time?"

Hiten nodded. "Early little lady. Why don't you stay?"

"Well, Sir, I cannot. My father will already be wondering where I was, so perhaps another time."

Hiten nodded. "Perhaps." She turned and walked out towards the door. She smirked; he would pay for not being a little less arrogant.

And that's that! Not very long, but oh well. I'll try and make it longer next time! Thanks Sabi, and Arisa- San for you help!
