Pairing: Glenn/Kagome

Series: The Walking Dead

She sighed as she sat on the tree stump, it's rough hard wood digging into her back side, she winced as she pulled her slightly greasy and tangled hair into a high pony tail. She glanced to her left where her partner in crime, well more like running, was getting ready. He shifted his bag on his shoulder, his hands checking his weapons. A bat, a knife, and an ice pick.

She shifted as she stood up, dusting her hands on her dirty and torn blue jeans, she grabbed her compound bow form its resting spot on the ground, a gift from Daryl, and attached the quiver to her belt, it was easier for her to reach her arrows if they were at her waist.

Shane often said it was stupid, while she walked she jarred her arrows making noise, it would attract them. She didn't care, and she sure as hell didn't care what he thought. The prick, she and Glenn were always the runners, so he could stuff it. It was them who made the very needed runs into the towns and cities they camped near.

Part of her thought it was racist, they had the only two Asian members of their group take such risks simply because they were small, fast, and light footed. She snorted, a habit picked up from Daryl, and turned to partner and sighed. "Ready?"

He shifted lightly, knowing she was upset, a scowl marred her usually pretty face. She must have been thinking about Shane, she did not like the man. He didn't blame her, there was something off about the older man. Yet it didn't matter, in fact they didn't have time to think about it, to dwell on it. It might make them mess up. "Yeah, and Kagome."

She paused and turned to look back at him. "Yeah?" He gave her a carefree grin, one he was famous for, and reached out to place his hand on her shoulder giving it strong squeeze. "Be careful." She nodded, her blue eyes taking in his dark brown ones. "Of course."

He couldn't help but to watch in awe as she stood in front of him a bit, her bow drawn as she let loose arrow after arrow. Taking out walker after walker as they shuffled about in the town square. They had come upon the site not even fifteen minutes ago, the town was crawling with walkers but they couldn't go back empty handed so with a small sigh she had merely drawn her bow and began sniping them one after another.

Her aim was true and every arrow she let fly buried itself in the forehead of a walker taking it out silently, minus the thump of the body hitting the ground. She was a marvel, he would never get tired of watching her shoot, though he wished it wasn't at walkers, she was so poised. Then again she was part of her archery team back in Japan. They had come to the states for a tournament not even days before the outbreak had happened.

She never went into too much detail but from what he gathered she and her team mates had holed up in the school tee tournament was being held at and had kept the infected at bay. Until something went wrong, what it was he didn't know and she wouldn't say. All he knew was that their sanctuary had fallen and she had fled, a wooden bow and as many quivers as she could carry with her.

They had stumbled up on her, having seen her arrows in the heads of fallen walkers for days before hand, living in the woods on her own. Rick being Rick extended the hand of friendship, of help. She had been reluctant to accept it but over time she grew to trust their small band and became a part of it. Carrying her weight and then some.

He jumped as a hand touched his shoulder, instinct took over. He brought up his ice pick ready to fight for his life let blinked as warm hands stopped the blow. He blinked startled brown eyes and paled as he meet surprised blue eyes. "Oh shit." He dropped the ice pick and backed away from her. "I'm so, so sorry!" He shook as he leaned on the tree behind him, what he had almost done flashing though his mind.

He had almost killed her.

She sighed as she picked up the fallen ice pick and moved towards him, she felt bad. She shouldn't have done that, they were all on edge and all had fallen to the point where they relied on their instincts. She approached him and placed a calming hand on his shoulder. "Hey, it's fine. My mistake. I should have known better." He let her hand rest on his slightly quivering shoulder and felt even worse for scaring him like that.

She had only wanted to get his attention, she had cleared the path and they could finally get into the town without being noticed. Yet he was spacing out, his eyes glazed over as he just stared into space. She thought the best way to get his attention would be to poke him. Big mistake, she sighed as she looked up at her, his eyes hidden by the brim of his baseball cap. "Sorry."

He shook his head at her and took the offered ice pick, shoving it in his pocket. "Don't do that again…I could have hurt you!" She laughed lightly, leave it to him to be mad over the fact that he could have hurt her, not that she had scared the shit out of him. He was truly to cute for words. With a small smile she ducked in and gave him a small peck on the cheek then pulled back. "Promise, now let's get this over with."

He blushed as he held a hand to his now burning cheek and watched her make her way into the town, yanking out arrows out of the fallen walkers as she went. He shook his head, a goofy smile on his face as he ran to catch up with her. He fell in step with her and smiled as she rolled her eyes at him, muttering under her breath about cuties and their damn smiles. A small smile blooming on her own face.
