Stabbing.
The air around them suddenly turned razor-sharp and it felt like being pricked by thousands of tiny needles all at once. The pain wasn't nearly excruciating, but it certainly had the potential to be.
"My, my, Miko – wrapping even more men around your devious little fingers?" A rather seductive voice sounded behind the Avengers and said superheroes quickly turned around to see a very beautiful Japanese woman walking towards them.
"You were Sesshoumaru's contact?" Kagome seemed to pout, looking a little put-out as the woman finally reached her, though she kept her eyes on the Avengers at all times, "I wanted to see Shippou-chan." She mumbled.
"I'm here to solve the problem you have happily thrown yourself into," The woman stated and her demeanour swiftly turned icy cold, "Sesshoumaru-sama will not want you associating with such... people." She eyed the males with a critical eye.
"You know Hunger Games No. Two here, Kogarashi?" Tony stepped up, seemingly recognising the woman, "How and why are you here?"
"Oh, Tony Stark, is it?" The woman smirked, "I didn't notice you. However, I do hope that you didn't harass Miss Higurashi, otherwise, you might just catch Lord Sesshoumaru's attention a little too much."
"Why are you in New York, Kagura?" Kagome asked with exasperation, stepping in before it turned too messy between her and Stark, "Another fashion tour?" She simply received a curt nod in response.
"A friend of yours, Miss Kagome?" Steve asked, stepping beside Kagome and observing the woman with neutral eyes.
"Kagura Kogarashi, a pretty famous fashion designer back east," Kagome answered, giving Steve a smile that could almost be called wistful, "I suppose she is here to pick me up."
Steve actually jumped when Kagome suddenly grasped his hands with her own and blushed when she squeezed his fingers, "Steve, I like you," She said bluntly, "I really do and not because you're Captain of America."
The blond felt like his heart would jump out of his chest and he couldn't even find it in himself to correct her on his 'superhero' name. The silence in the room was almost deafening when she asked him something after a brief pause.
"I want to go on a real date with you before I go."
