Gentlemen can be Jerks
Kagome gripped her reins tighter as the freezing air suddenly enveloped her. She turned in the saddle and looked longingly at the simmering springs. But, I'll be back soon or whenever I can get away. Farewell Suiloerna. She nudged Ionn into a trot, a bitting wind starting to freeze her cheeks. The gelding however took no notice of the cold and pranced on, ears pricked at some unknown sound.
Today I'm thinking of riding out of Kouga's realm, into the free realm. I'm sure I can have some peace there. Ionn anticipated this and quickened his pace, wanting to get to her destination faster. Kagome accepted and let him merge into a smooth rocking canter, her body starting to warm.
For a long time they raced through the silent forest without any delay. Ionn's strides never faltered and his long legs swept over the groung effortlessly. Although, his attention seemed elsewhere, ears swivelling in ever direction. His head turned to the right and he missed a stride, catching it almost immediately. Then he slowed to a jog, nostrils flaring in alarm. He then stopped altogether and turned this way and that, trying to figure out where that strange scent was coming from. Something's wrong, but what? I just have to wait, ready for him to bolt, he'll know what to do. I got to trust him. She sat relaxed in the saddle, just so if he bolted, she wouldn't fall off.
He didn't bolt though, instead, Ionn continued walking. He picked his way carefully through the frozen trees and bushes, leaving large oval shaped hoof prints in the frost. He walked carefully for a few minutes then stopped and looked around. His head lifted as he sniffed the air, upper lip curling backward. A welcoming neigh escaped his lips and echoed into the canopy.
Kagome sat rigged in the saddle, her heart thumping against her ribs. A clarion neigh answered, loud and challenging. Ionn pranced forward, neck arched and tail held high in the manner of a stallion. She sat up and drew her reins in, so his head would stay drawn in. She would have maximum control this way.
He pranced into a large meadow, icy with frost. In the centre of the meadow was a horse and rider. She squinted at them, trying to see who it was. Her heart skipped a beat. Inuyasha was sitting astride a handsome dappled gray stallion, who was prancing and arching his neck as well. He stared back at her, grinning under his silver bangs.
" That was quite an entrance you made there. You always do that?"
" No but this horse does. He still thinks he's a stallion, announcing when he arrives".
" I see. What are ya doin' all the way out here?"
" Escaping from Kouga. He's been a real jerk ever since he was knighted".
" Figures. He always been the one to boast".
Kagome looked across at him, a look of confusion on her face. " Something happened between you two didn't it?"
" Something happened between you two", he answered blankly.
A blush spread across her face and she turned away. " Why else would I dislike him? And anyway, why do you know so much about his personality. Most never really notice him for the jerk he is".
Inuyasha turned to her then averted his gaze to across the field. " Oh look at that eagle isn't it pretty?"
" Your avoiding the question".
" Oh look, it has a rabbit in it's talons".
" Answer the question", Kagome said firmly, starting to get irritated.
He stopped babbling and locked his gaze ahead of them.. He took on a grumpy look and turned to her. " Why do you care. For all I know you could be lying and you secretively love Kouga".
That was when his gentleman appearance shattered. " Me? Love him? Have you lost it. Who the hell do you take me for! I would never love him, even if my life depended on it!".
" What if I threaten you with my claws? Then what will you do?" He eyes sparkled with anticipation, testing her.
" Well use your head dumb ass! I would scream for help and thrash around, trying to free myself".
His head turned slowly away and they rode in silence for a while. Then, out of the blue he asked, "So, what did Kouga do to you to make you hate him?"
Kagome nearly fell off her horse. " What the hell! You refuse to answer me and then you ask me the same question! I'll only answer if you answer first". She looked him square in the eyes, trying to glare the answer out of him.
" Oh look! I think I can see the same eagle! Oh wow. Isn't it beautiful?" he exclaimed stupidly.
Kagome twitched. What a bastard . I thought that he was a gentleman, but no . He just had to screw everything up! " Stop trying to change the subject!"
" Its so pretty! Look at those black feathers gleam! And those white! Oh that eagle is to die for!"
"INUYASHA!!"
He looked down at her as if he noticed her for the first time. He gazed at her in the lamest expression yet. " What. Is it something I did?"
" ANSWER THE FRICKIN QUESTIONS NUMB SKULL!!" Kagome shrieked.
His face suddenly darkened and his eyes flashed a red colour for a fraction of a second. In a voice crackling like thunder he boomed, " You forget your place girl".
" I know my place very well thank you. You may be lord of the western realm but that doesn't mean I'm gonna treasure your ever word. I'm not a spoilt little brat like some. I actually stand up for myself!" She said defensively.
Again his face darkened and his eyes took on a red pallor for a longer time. " Watch what you say wench, I just might pop".
" Huh. Oh really now. And what will you do? Hiss at me like a cat and stick out your claws at ?"
He chuckled quite disturbingly. Eyes hidden by his silver bangs, Inuyasha answered, " I just might, you never know. Hanyou's can be unpredictable."
The way he said it made Kagome uneasy. " Oh really? Well then I'll just carry a sword with me so I don't get impaled by you at some random moment".
His hair bristled and a low growl escaped his throat. He peered at her from under his bangs and she almost screamed at the blood lust in his crimson eyes. His knuckles started to crack and the horse's balked. With a hiss, his arm shot out and grabbed her by the collar. He pulled her off Ionn and lifted her into the air, setting her down infront of him. In a low and dangerous snarl he whispered into her ear," look bitch I ain't kidding. If you rile me up anymore, I just might use you as a sharpening post so shut the hell up".
Kagome snorted. " Do you think your little-
His hand tightened on her throat, causing her to choke on her words. " Don't be a fool. Shutting your cake hole would be a good idea". His voice crackled like lightening and a single clawed finger ran across her open throat. She gulped, suddenly realizing that he wasn't kidding. She nodded and he let go, letting her slide to the ground. " A wise choice".
