"Please remove yourself from my presence, it's too early to deal with you."
Draco looked up from his History of Magic essay and frowned as Pansy was clearly trying to start problems with Kagome again. She was hovering over her with her normal prissy air and had a scowl on that looked horrendously out of place with her prime and pristine uniform. "Pansy, you seem to have gotten lost. How about I show you to the opposite side of the common room."
Pansy looked ready to blow fire when Draco came to Kagome's rescue. "Bugger off Draco!" She snapped, taking all the occupants in the Common Room by surprise. Even Kagome looked shell-shocked by her harshness towards Draco Malfoy.
"Goodness, alright Pansy." Kagome let her scroll roll up and stood so that she was nearly nose to nose with the slightly older witch. "Let's take this outside...shall we?" She smirked, "somewhere that the Professors and Students won't be able to interrupt...perhaps...the Forbidden Forest? It does sound like a most ideal dueling ground."
"You haven't even taken a dueling class!"
"That means the odds are in your favor, surely you aren't afraid..." Kagome tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, "...are you?"
The phrase hook, line and sinker came to Draco's mind as he watched Pansy bite the obvious bait, like a Grindylow on a fish!
"Lead the way, wouldn't want you to get cold feet."
"Girls, girls...come on now," Blaise chuckled, placing an arm over Kagome's and Pansy's shoulders as he came between the two. "couldn't the two of you play Gobstones instead?"
Kagome peeled his arm off her shoulder and walked past Draco who watched her, and Pansy leave the Common Room. Turning to the rest of the students who stared wondrously at the two, he frowned and thought quickly of his choices.
"Shouldn't we tell Snape?" Theodore asked curiously as he grabbed Kagome's rolled parchment and placed it in her bag. Shouldering both hers and his before walking towards Draco and Blaise. A chuckle from the sofa behind Draco, drew their attention as they all turned. "What's so funny Greengrass?"
Daphne smiled charmingly, "care not for my name, Theodore? Here I thought we were friends." She stood with a grace and elegance that most students in Hogwarts couldn't dream of possessing. "Let the two duel this out, it'll happen sooner or later, best to get it over with before it turns into something more severe. At least neither of them is proficient in dueling yet."
"I'm more worried about them going into the Forbidden Forest," Draco said, his eyes on Daphne's as he relaxed a bit at the fact that, she was right, neither girls could duel.

As they had stepped past the threshold of the Forbidden Forest, Kagome walked further into it. She'd been somehow enamored with the idea that the forest was Forbidden, yet it was so easy to simply "walk in". She didn't know where she was going, but she figured by simply going straight, she could find her way back easily enough...with or without Pansy. Finally, turning around to face Pansy, the girl was white as paper, terrified but too stubborn to voice it. She might as well have been petrified. Smirking, Kagome opened her arms wide and spun slowly around before meeting Pansy's eyes again, "home sweet home, I'm sure you'll come to enjoy it here. Because after this duel, if you mess with me again...I will be sure to lose you in this forest."
Pansy wasted no time with the niceties that Kagome's father had taught her, no bowing, no count to three...as she watched Pansy snap her wand at her, Kagome brought her wand up and muttered, "Protego," barely giving Pansy time to process the smirk on her lips before she spun with deadly precision and shouted, "INCARCEROUS!"
Pansy screamed as ropes shot out at her and bound her tightly. Gravity dragged her to the forest floor as she squirmed and tried to wiggle her way out of the tight binds.
"What a sight for sore eyes, yes...this is certainly well-worth the trip in here."
"L-let go of me!"
"Now, why would I dare to do a silly thing like that?" She let her hair down, then twisted it much tighter before clipping it out of her way. Her wand twirling in her hand before she snapped it towards Pansy, sending a stinging hex her way as she did.
"AH!"
A cold look passed over Kagome's eyes as she wondered out loud, "a couple nights in the Forbidden Forest might do you some good..."
"N-no!"
"No?" She sent another wave at the girl, smirking devilishly as pimples started popping up randomly all over the girls normally flawless face. The blistering red pimples looked irritated against her pale complexion. "Then what should I do, Pansy? If I let you leave, we may end up doing this again...and to be frank, I'm tired of dealing with you."
"L-let me go..."
"...what would you give me...for your freedom?"
Pansy stared up at Kagome who was walking up to her, stopping only when she stood a foot away, her eyes cast down in narrowed slits at her. "Wh-what do you want?"
"Your loyalty is a good place to start...the Parkinson's, after all...are one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight...I would be hard pressed to turn you or your family into enemies...though, I could say the same about myself. What do you think, Pansy? Would I make a good enemy?" Kagome crouched down next to Pansy, her wand grazed the frightened girls chin as she was now shaking uncontrollably. "Should we test out some more hex's and charms? My father mentioned to me the Unforgivable Curses, and I've always been so curious about them...should I perhaps test them out on you? The Torture Curse...the Cruciatus...he mentioned that one often to me while growing up." Kagome watched tears fall without an end in sight from Pansy's fear-filled eyes. "Swear to me your loyalty..."
"...I-I swear to you my loyalty. P-please don't hurt me! I will do anything you say!"
Just as she said it, Kagome stood and started to walk off without Pansy, pausing a few steps away, she turned and waved her wand back at the tied-up girl. The ropes fell from Pansy's body as she quickly clambered to her feet and grabbed her wand. Chasing after Kagome as she tried to calm her heart and clear her face of her tears. "Betray my trust...and the next time I bring you here...you won't leave...understood?"
Pansy nodded her head, "yes, I understand."
