Teaya smirked downwards with parted lips half-lidded eyes at Inuyasha. She often used the look to put men into a trance while she evaluated them. But she'd seen him fight Sesshomaru before, so he wasn't much of a challenge if she could avoid his Wind Scar. As a matter of fact, her mind was on Sesshomaru- she disregarded the slight twinge of guilt for purifying his sword. He had more than enough power to fight them off, and that was the price of making a deal with the devil. More accurately, a deal with Hell. Naraku could not buy a favour from her with mere money. Such things were meaningless.
She tugged her sash from around her waist, and Sango used a word from Kagome's vocabulary. "Slut!" Miroku's eyes widened in anticipation. Sango pulled her boomerang bone from her back and kicked him with her foot.
"The vocabulary of your pathetic friend will not save you. Actually, I just mortified her a moment ago with a show of how weak her power is." Teaya released a sweet, melodious laugh that did not reach her eyes. "Such is the cruel world, I suppose."
"Where is she?!" Inuyasha snapped out of his trance not long after she broke their eye contact. Teaya shook her head in utter disbelief and disgust. She heaved an elegant sigh.
"I may not ever like or befriend her, but what you did to her was inexcusable! How dare you betray a woman with another and try to keep both?! You are a despicable, lying, cheating, disgusting hentai; and if Kagome wanted to see you, she would not hide. If I were her, I would show my true colors before teaching you a lesson. However, that is for another time." Inuyasha was stunned by the convictions only for a moment. Her voice had changed drastically, as had her face, and the beautiful tone radiated death and danger.
"Who the hell are you to tell me what to do or who I am?!" Inuyasha shouted up at her. "My life is none of your business! Maybe I should teach you a lesson, wench!"
Teaya sighed once more and shook her head. "I know when a man or boy is attracted to me, Inuyasha. You need not hide it. In addition, admiring something or someone is not the same as sinning. I, for example, can acknowledge that you and Miroku have decent bodies from traveling and fighting frequently. However, I know my expectations and limits, and to not feel attracted. Love is a peculiar thing- so unpredictable and uncontrollable. But you can control your actions. And because you allowed them to get so out of hand, they have affected the pieces of a bigger picture you know nothing of. Furthermore, I have every right to speak my thoughts just as you had every right to turn on Kagome. In my eyes, the action is unforgivable. In yours, they are justified. But a fight is unavoidable regardless. So let me begin and finish it quickly."
The assassin threw her sash chain forward and wrapped it around Tetsuiga's hilt. With an efficient tug, she drew the sword and tossed it against a tree. "My power is more or less on par with Sesshomaru's, so you understand the depth."
Finally, Miroku spoke. "Lady, why is it that you conceal your beautiful face?" Teaya rolled her eyes, retying her sash for the second time that day.
"Flattery will not move me, monk. I know sufficiently of your history. I pass a message to you all. 'You will all die by my hand.' A warning I will also give to you. 'Darkness does not always represent evil, as light does not eternally bring good.' Heed my words, for they may save your lives." She leapt gracefully from the clearing, leaving the entire group stunned into such silence, they had forgotten to ask about Kagome.
