Chapter Two: The Darker Side
Kagura was well aware of the winds dieing down. It wasn't the fact she was forced to walk because of her loss of flight that triggered this, it was the complete lack of breeze to manipulate. It was dead air.
This made her attitude a little more bitchy than usual, most likely because of the lack of air movement that she was so used to. Not even her fan could satisfy her, its breeze was too little, too late.
She stared out at the path ahead of her, glaring. This wasn't how she wanted to spend her day. Naraku had sent her off for some cruddy spy work, and without her wind to cloak her scent, that mutt would definitely catch her.
"DAMN IT ALL!" She called out. Then something caught her attention. It wasn't strong, but a light gust of wind came from the village up ahead. The aura hit her next. She smirked to herself, and used the light flow of wind to make a strong enough breeze as she flew off on her feather. Whatever made that small gust…she'd have to find it….
...Meanwhile…
The first hour with the group made Kagome worry about the new addition's reactions. After all, there were two very…interesting members of their group.
Inuyasha had intimidated her, and made her think he was a sex craved pervert at first, but now, Kimieri seemed to blow him off like Shippou, if not more. At the moment, Inuyasha was challenging her to a fight. The fox girl backed off.
"I don't like fighting unless necessary!" she shouted, but Inuyasha, of coarse, didn't listen and lunged at her. Kagome saw and was about to 'sit' him when she caught Kimieri shooting out from where he was going to hit and leaping up, kicking him into the dirt. When her skirt flared, however, she cowered and held it down with her hands in the front, folding her legs to hide the backside. She landed with a thud a few feet from where Inuyasha's head was currently buried.
Kagome ran over only to find Kimieri whimpering and sniffling, pathetically. Kagome sighed patting the back of her head. Shouts could be heard from the house, Sango was verbally abusing a certain monk. Miroku was sitting on the ground, holding his head, where a lump twice the size of his fist could be seen.
After her little upset, Kagome stood and went over to her backpack. She pulled out a pair of shorts and handed them to Kimieri, who went inside the shack.
When the three feudal dwellers turned to Kagome, she in turn sighed and replied with this statement: "Gym shorts."
She walked out, face still pink, but this time with slight anger. She ran at the now standing Inuyasha, and just as he leapt up, she followed in pursuit. This time, her panties were now covered by the pair of shorts Kagome had given her. There was even a hole in the back where her tail fitted through.
Kagome was digging Inuyasha out of the ground for the second time. Kimieri had assaulted him with verbal curses as well as swift kicks, complaining at how sinful it was to reveal a girl's panties. Kagome had to admit, it was wrong for him to try and fight her in a skirt, but she didn't have to attack him so violently.
Speaking of, the kitsune was now sitting on the roof, staring at her arms in awe. Sango called up to her. "What are you doing?" She jumped, nearly falling off the roof of the hut. Claws were wonderful things indeed, she concluded.
"I'm looking at my arms, normally I'm burnt to a crisp, but my skin is still so clear of anything." She said, leaping down. She had removed the skirt, wearing the shorts, with her uniform top that ended just above her belly button. She could have sworn she wasn't that tall before. In fact when she first met Kagome, she was shorter, even by a few inches. Now…she was the same height as Sango.
A pulse in the air caught her attention from the thought. She turned to see a giant feather carrying a vile scent. Her nose curled and she sneered. She felt a chin run through her and before she could think she ran toward it. Inuyasha smelled the same thing and turned, growling "Naraku…." He leapt off after Kimieri. He would have to get there first.
Kagura caught the change in the breeze just in time to see the fox demon running toward her at top speed. Her eyes widened, a pulse running painfully through her mind, but shook it off. She took out one of her fans and landed right in front of the girl. The scent that she caught was sweet. Another wave of pain. DAMN! What was going on?! She couldn't understand…it was almost like…deja vu.
She blasted a gust of wind that formed into blades heading straight for Kimieri, hoping to be rid of this girl as quickly as possible. Kimieri panicked slightly, but let her body guide her like before, into a twirl before she leapt at the blades, kicking in a circle, creating an opposing current that diffused the blades. Kagura stared. Kimieri stood in front of her, breathing heavy. Not a drop of sweat nor sign of fear on her face.
Kimieri looked at her, tilted her head and her eyes softened. She stepped forward, and Kagura's head pulsed once more. "Get AWAY!" she shouted. Kimieri stepped even closer and reached out, placing her fingertips on her cheek.
"Do I know you…?" she asked, and Kagura's head continuously started to pulse faster and faster. It was then an all-too-familiar shout was heard.
"KAZE NO KIZU!" Was shouted and Kimieri looked to see the humongous blades of wind tearing through the ground. Kagura saw them coming as well, she sneered, but before she leapt away, she stared at the kitsune in front of her. Dread yanked at her heart and without even realizing it she grabbed her and leapt out of the way of the attack. Kimieri blinked, staring at the foul-smelling woman.
As soon as Kagura realized what she had done, she released Kimieri, sending her falling to the ground. The girl caught a branch and looked up at Kagura, who was now flying away on her feather. She let go of the branch and leapt to the ground. Kagome was there to meet her.
"Are you okay? You fell from so high up…." She asked, Kimieri smiled.
"I'm fine. If she didn't pick me up, I could have been sliced up." She said and watched the fleck in the sky that was Kagura.
"She works for Naraku, if she saved you he must be planning something." Kagome told her. Kimieri nodded, but felt a slight sinking feeling in her chest. A scent caught her nose. It wasn't Inuyasha…it wasn't anyone else, either…. It was the smell of sage wood.
It burned her nose slightly, but the scent made her heart quiver and skip a beat. Blood rushed into her cheeks. This scent…captivated all her senses. Falling t her knees from the daze, she snapped out of it at the impact and looked around for the source. Kagome's voice was heard and pulled her away from the distant silhouette of a wolf.
"I'm fine, that scent…" She trailed off. Kagome blinked and Inuyasha finally made an appearance.
"What the hell smells like a camp fire?! Did that damned fox screw up an attack again?!" He shouted and Kagome was instantly on his case. Kimieri growled slightly, but caught herself. Why was she offended?
"He did nothing, nothing's burning accept your hot head!" Kagome shouted. Inuyasha growled.
"FEH! I was just asking a question, wench!" he shouted.
"How many times have I told you not to call me that!!" she called back.
Kimieri yawned and sat down, Shippou curling up in her lap. Another fight.
"I'll call you whatever I please, wench!"
"OSUWARI" a thud followed.
"AUGH! Bitch, stop saying that!"
"Then stop calling me names!"
"I don't have to!"
"OSUWARI"
Thud
This continued for a while before Kagome stormed off screaming something about a bath. Kimieri looked down at Shippou who was fast asleep and giggled. Her ears were now an over sized 6 inches long, each. They were lowered on either side of her head, as she kissed the top of the kit's head. She might adopt this one…she thought about it. Would he be okay learning Italian? What would her father say?
Her tail wrapped around her as she leaned against a tree with a heavy sigh. Right…like she could go home with ears and a tail. Oh well. She dozed off, and the silhouette returned to watch her sleep.
Kagome was in a hot spring with Sango scrubbing her back. She was so upset. Name-calling was immature, it shouldn't have affected her. But it hurt. Everything he said bothered her.
She sighed. There was no helping it…it just how he was. Its not like she was going to end up with him anyway…right? After all…he was a half demon. She was human. It could never work out, because she'd die before he'd grow a grey hair…okay dumb statement. But it was fact.
When she finished, the sleeping bags were unraveled, and they all took to their beds. Kimieri had decided to sleep in a tree, opposite Inuyasha's tree. In fact, it was right near the fire, whereas Inuyasha's sleeping perch was behind Kagome, on the other side of the camp.
She looked at the sky, the stars were so much brighter here…it was impossible to miss even the softest glow. She looked back over at Inuyasha, who was unknowingly glancing at Kagome in a loving, almost longing way. She smiled. Her eyes trailing along the sleeping members, she saw that black shadow again. Or…was it?
She shook her head with a sigh. Wrapping her tail around herself, she dozed off, to hopefully find a way to get home.
Back at Naraku' base, Kagura was debating on letting Naraku know about that fox..cat...thing...girl. She huffed, figuring it was late enough, and she wanted nothing more than to sleep her stress away.
