Kagome shoved herself off the ground. No. She glared down at the village. She will find answers. And started marching toward it. She knew the path by heart, every branch, every stone. She wound her way without care for what obstacles laid in her path. Nothing was going to hold her back. She threw her arm up to shove an offending branch out of her way.
Only to have it stuck.
Stare.
Blink.
Stare.
The branch was half way through her arm. One leaf looked like it was sprouting from her wrist.
What the heck? She tugged her arm a little. The branch swayed just a bit. Err... that could have been the wind. She tugged again. Sway. Gritting her teeth, she pulled harder. She needed to get moving, not stay here stuck to a damn tree. The branch swayed and shivered with her actions, but slowly she pulled free.
Ugh, she thought. It's like pulling on taffy.
But finally she was free. She glared at the branch as she rubbed her arm. How had that happened? She inspected her arm. It faintly ached where the branch had been, but otherwise there was no harm.
She looked at the branch and cautiously reached a finger out toward it. She brushed the skin of the branch. It felt solid but soft. Again, she had the impression of taffy. She pushed harder. And quickly pulled her hand back when she felt her finger start to go in.
She shuddered at the creepy feeling.
Still, she wasn't going to get any answers standing around the woods poking trees. She once again turned toward the village.
...
AN: Is this something I should continue? Let me know, please.
