anKagome x Zabuza
Warning: Unknown
Pain!
The moment he first laid eyes on her in that damn tea shop Haku wanted to stop at, he knew that she would be his one day. The way her sapphire eyes nailed him to his spot as if she could peer straight into his soul and see all the taint that swirled there. Never flinching away from his gaze like most did, hell he honestly thought she challenged his stare with her own before a breathtaking smile bloomed on her lips. Voice breaking the small chatter in the shop to greet them as if they were not strangers, allowing them the option of seating themselves while she tended to the rest of the customers. Haku's excitement filled the air and caused the brute to smirk lightly at the kids' antics, it truly was the small things that made him happy. Shifting the large sword off of his back and resting it against the wall the demon of the mist plopped down on a cushion the bandages around his face were gone for once and it allowed people to see the handsome face that lay behind it.
"Welcome, what can I get for you two?"
That voice was soft and feminine and utterly arousing as the woman stood before them dressed in a simple pastel pink summer kimono with the sleeves pinned behind her so they did not get dirty while she worked. Soft white feathers danced across the fabric tied closed with a lavender obi that complimented her creamy skin, bluish-black hair was tied in a messy knot that allowed a few strands to escape and frame the sides of her face. Haku beamed from his seat and took charge of ordering them green tea with some sweet buns, after all, he was more of the people person than he was. Kagome smiled at the boy and nodded before bowing slightly and ducking off to the back of the shop to fill the order, the conversation began once more in the shop as if these strangers were not there.
"What a shop!" Haku exclaimed happily while picking his own pink kimono back in place, hair fanning around his face and back smiling at the older male as he lounged in a bored manner. "Hn" Was the only response as Kagome returned to the table with two cups and a kettle steaming with the tea they ordered, setting down the cups she poured the liquid with ease before placing it down on a coaster. Next were the plates with the sweet buns before she smiled once again "My name is Kagome, let me know if you need anything else!" she bowed once more before leaving them in peace.
For the remainder of the time, the two enjoyed their tea and sweets, allowing their bodies to refuel before they left for an adventure on the road to total domination! When the tea was gone and the plates empty Haku paid the bill and met Zabuza outside the establishment. Waving cheerfully to the girl known as Kagome promising to come back soon, that was how the male knew his life would be changed forever.
It might have been a month or maybe two by the time the duo came back to the tea shop, they entered and were greeted by the same woman as before, this time she was dressed in a dark blue colored kimono with silver flowers dancing across the bottom of the sleeves. Tied with a stark white obi that complimented her eye's more than the pink one had. Haku instantly attached himself to the female and they formed a friendship of sorts while Zabuza pretended to tolerate their chatter, all the while the gears in his head spun on a way to make the girl his, use her someway in the grand scheme of things.
Months flew by and winter rolled into the area where the shop was set up, customers were barely shuffling inside as a storm brewed in the distance a promise of rain and ice and everything nasty. Kagome was about to lock up the shop and hurry home when a familiar figure entered the building, stoic face wrapped in bandages and sword strapped to his back were the defining items for the girl. "Hello Zabuza, where is Haku?" the girl asked while moving to gather his normal tea, a habit really. Taking his normal seat he gave the woman a pointed look before actually answering her. "He came down with a cold and asked me to come and see if you would prepare him a tonic like before, but the storm is approaching too fast to make it back in time" He replied with an almost indifferent tone. "So you left him? Sick and the storm is coming! What if he gets a fever!" She all but slammed the tray down on the table, making some of the tea in the cup splash out. Dark eyes narrowed up at the woman and her defiant ways, something sparking inside of him at that temper of her's. "I never said he was alone, the elder keeper is with him, girl" There was a twitch of the brow at the pet name he had given her, something she hated more than anything else he did.
"Ka-go-me, my name is Kagome and if you call me girl one more time I will pour this tea down the front of you!" she threatened him while taking a seat on the cushion beside the male, the first crack of thunder echoing loudly in the sky, the rain slowly starting to fall. Looks like they were stuck there until the storm blew out, however long that would take. Picking up her teacup she gently blew on the hot tea before taking a sip of the liquid, silence filled the air and under normal circumstances, she would have been fine with it but the male beside her exuded a taint that was almost choking in nature. A loud crack of thunder sounded above them, enough to shake the building slightly and cause the poor girl to jump right out of her skin. It earned a small chuckle from the male as he crossed his arms over his chest and looked her dead in the eyes as if egging her on even more. "You are like a mouse, scared at every noise!" Kagome let out a small growl before lifting her nose at him "I am not!" came the reply only to jump once more when the sky cracked again. Zabuza grinned before shifting his position and leaning closer to the girl's ear "Mouse" he was close enough to smell her skin, close enough that he could have tasted it if it were not for the bandages covering his face. "I am not a mouse!" she squeaked out a faint blush coloring her cheeks. It was too tempting for him to refuse, the urge inside of him wanted more and who was ever to deny the urge? A hand cupped her jaw and turned her face to his own as the other yanked the wrappings off, in a quick motion his lips sealed over her own. There was nothing soft and sweet about the kiss, it was demanding and hot as he drew her closer to his body; breaking the kiss only after he left her groaning for air
"Such a pain" he growled out before taking her lips once more.
