A/N: Heeeyyyyyyyy, nothing for the top here.
Chapter 5
Kagome groaned as she trudged her way back to headquarters. Today had been a long day and she just wanted to drop and sleep into next week. She reached the gates and was stopped by her once mentor.
"Ah, Kagome! Long time no see!" He said cheerily and tried to wrap an arm around her shoulders.
She dodged and he pouted. "Kaien… what do you want?"
He feigned hurt and stumbled toward her and finally hitched her arm in his. "Aw, that's no way to greet your old teacher. Come on Kagome," His voice took on a whiney edge and she closed her eyes, praying for patience. How had she coped for those five years? "Don't you want to hang out for old times sake?"
"No. I just want to report and then go and sleep in my nice warm, comfy bed."
Kaien sighed sadly as he hung off her and Kagome gave him a death glare to which he grinned. It took a few minutes but Kagome was able to pry his arms from around her waist and huff angrily at him. She was quick and ran into the entrance but the blond was quicker and he was again hanging around her waist.
"Kaieennn! God damn it! You're a grown man!" Kagome struggled to get him off, "Let go!" She twisted and turned and stretched to no avail. It was then she spotted Toga walking toward them. She flailed her arms and called his name.
"Toga, Toga! Help me! Get this maniac off of me!"
The tall dark haired man rolled his eyes in exasperation and swaggered over to them. His face was amused and Kagome frowned at him but he dismissed it and sent a look to the older man.
"What are you doing Kaien? Accosting a young girl will make you look like a pervert."
He ignored Kagome's small, 'Hey, I'm a woman!' and gazed calmly at his superior. Kaien pouted some more but let go of her and Kagome sighed in relief.
"Thanks Toga." She turned to the man in glasses, "God, I swear Kaien, I'll kill you next time."
He grinned cheekily. "No you wouldn't Kagome~"
She cracked her knuckles with a dark look in her eyes, "Wanna bet?"
The legendary man quickly cowered behind Toga. "Now now, Kagome…"
Something suddenly occurred to her and the look disappeared to be replaced by a thoughtful one. "What are you doing here Kaien?"
"Hm? I was just looking for information."
Kagome raised a dubious brow, "An ex-hunter looking for information?"
He pouted and replied defensively, "What? Just because I'm retired I can't do some research?"
She cuffed him in the head and placed her hands on her hips. "You know that's not what I meant."
"Ah!" He cried and rubbed his bruised head, "So rough Kagome, my sweet Yuki is so much gentler."
The priestess rolled her eyes in a 'whatever' way and walked away, throwing over her shoulder, "Sure you overgrown baby. Tell Yuki I said hi."
A/N: So... what if I told you guys that I'm going to post two chapters on Friday, and by that time I would like at least ten reviews, or I'll only post one. I promised myself I wouldn't be one of those authors who held chapters hostage, but if you really like it that much, can you please take the time to review (GOD, I sound whiney)? On another note, thank you to those who do review. It makes my day.
Oh yeah, another slow chapter, but don't worry, the drama will unfold in the next few chapters. I'm really excited to share it with you guys!
