Kagome begins to stretch and flex her muscles, she decides to go through her Katas while she's at it. Suddenly Kagome senses a demonic aura coming towards her and coming fast, not as fast as Kouga but still. Kagome knows it's a vampire, she doesn't have enough time to escape so she prepares herself for the confrontation.
She suddenly sees a blur of red in the trees coming straight for her, Kagome gets in a defensive stance like Sesshomaru taught her, and brings forth her spiritual powers. Victoria, sensing something different about this human, stops in her tracks. Instead she comes walking into the clearing calmly.
"Well what do you know, a midnight snack, all alone in the woods, how lucky for me."
Kagome's eyes narrow, "Try it, Vampire, you'll see I'm not easy prey like a normal human."
Victoria laughs, "You know what I am?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Kagome asks, "You're a pathetic blood sucking demon."
Victoria laughs again, "I'll show you pathetic when you join my army."
"I don't think so."
Quick as a flash, Kagome pulls her bow from her charm bracelet, enlarges it and fires a spiritual arrow at the vampire. But Victoria's talent is evasion and she was able to dodge Kagome's arrow, she was not so lucky with the second and third arrows that Kagome loosed. The arrows catch victoria's coat setting it ablaze, Victoria quickly rids herself of her coat. Seeing red she lunges for Kagome, but Kagome is ready. She quickly puts up a defensive barrier just as Victoria makes a grab for her. Victoria hits the barrier and is thrown back 100 ft. She crashes into the trees destroying them.
Emmett hears the disturbance and increases his speed, he prays to whomever will listen to him that Kagome is okay. When he gets to the clearing, he sees Victoria pounding on what appears to be some sort of pink barrier that is surrounding Kagome. Wasting no time Emmett lets out a growl and rushes Victoria, but Victoria easily dodges out of Emmett's grasp and makes a run for it.
"This isn't over, Little Girl."
"Count on in it, Vampire!" Kagome yells, as she lowers her barrier.
Emmett turns around and looks at Kagome wide eyed, "You know what she is?"
"Yes of course, Emmett, she isn't the first vampire I've met since I've been here."
"What?!"
"Yeah, I was attacked by one the first week I was here."
"Oh my god, are you alright, did they hurt you?" Emmett asks as he rushes up to Kagome and gathers her in his arms.
Kagome hugs him back, "I'm fine, Emmett, I purified his ass."
Emmett pulls away from Kagome and gives her a confused look, "I don't understand, what do you mean you purified him."
"I turned him to ash, see have the ability to turn sense and purify certain supernatural beings and vampires happen to be one of them."
Emmett lowers his head in shame, "Then you already know what I am."
Kagome raises his chin with her fingers, so that he is looking into her eyes, she smiles at him, "Yes I've known what you were since the day I met you and your family, but I don't mind, Emmett, I can sense that you're good."
Emmett scoffs and pulls away from her, "Good, Kagome, I've killed before, how can I be good?"
"Did you enjoy it?"
"No."
"Was it a means of survival?"
"Yes."
"Are you still killing?"
"No."
"Then, Emmett, you're good. I can see it in your soul." Kagome tells him as she takes his hand.
"I don't have a soul." Emmett says with a pout.
Kagome laughs, she places her hand on his cheek. Emmett leans into her touch.
"Of course you do, you may have lost some of it when you died, but it's still there, I can feel it."
"But how, Kagome, how can you do that, how did you create that barrier how can you destroy my kind?" Emmett asks.
Kagome pulled away from Emmett, she goes and sits in the grass. Emmett follows her and sits in front of her.
"I'm what is known in Japan as a Miko, a shrine maiden who fights evil spirits, demons, and ghosts. I have the ability to do magic, I can use my spiritual energy to make arrows of purification for my bow, you saw my barriers, I can infuse my arrows with my spiritual powers and create sacred arrows."
"Wow, are there a lot of you in Japan?"
"No, I'm the last of my line." Kagome tells him.
Kagome falls back into the grass and stares up at the starry sky, she hears Emmett shift his position and comes to lie down next to her. They just lie there in the tall grass staring at the stars. Kagome turns her head and stares at Emmett for a while.
"What's on your mind, Kagome?"
"How old are you, Emmett?
"95 years old."
"How old were you when you were bitten?"
"I was 20."
"Can I ask you what happened, were you attacked?"
"Yeah, but not the way you're thinking. I was out hunting and was mauled by a black bear in the mountains of Tennessee. I had nearly died from the attack, but Rosalie, my sister, saved me and carried me over a hundred miles back to Carlisle. Carlisle bit me and changed me into a vampire. Rosalie told me that reason she saved me was because I reminded her of her friend's little boy. Carlisle thought that maybe Rosalie and I would be mates but we've only ever been friends."
"Oh." Kagome says with a sigh of relief.
Emmett had no idea why he told Kagome that, he just felt the need to make it clear that nothing ever went on between him and Rose.
"Kagome?"
"Hmm?"
"How do you know how to fight?"
"Ah, now that's a story for another time, Emmett. I think for now I should be getting home, it's getting late."
"I'll walk you home."
"Okay, my uncle Charlie is working late tonight so there's no one home."
They both stood up, wipe off their pants and begin to walk home, Emmett reaches out and takes Kagomes hand. She smiles and intertwines her fingers with his. He raises her hand to his lips and kisses it, Kagome blushes. They walk in comfortable silence, they reach the back door and Kagome turns to face Emmett.
"Thanks for walking me home."
"Thanks for letting me, Kagome"
Emmett stands there for a moment with a big smile on his face, his eyes dart down to her lips and linger there, then he looks up at her.
"You know, Kagome, I really like you."
"I really like you too, Emmett."
"That's good," Emmett rubs the back of his head, "Cause I was wondering, would you go out with me?"
"Like be your girlfriend?"
"Yeah."
Kagome smiles at Emmett, "I'd love to."
"Great, may I kiss you?"
"Yes, you may."
Emmett cups either side of Kagome's face and leans down, they both close their eyes as their lips connect. There's an instant spark between them, Emmett's lips are cold and hard, but it's the best kiss Kagome has ever had. Not that she's been kissed a lot. Emmett pulls away, he doesn't want to overwhelm her, they both sigh.
"Wow," Kagome says.
"You can say that again." Emmett says with a chuckle.
He gives her a hug and kisses her forhead, "I'll call you tomorrow."
"Goodnight, Emmett."
"Goodnight, Kagome."
And with that, Emmett uses his vampire speed and heads home.
