Chapter 6
Kagome awoke to a painful kick at her knee. She was not a morning person, but the jolt running up her leg from the impact made her forget it. Confused, the miko opened brown eyes only to look into a hard glare. It cowered when it landed on golden—not amber-eyes.
"What?" she asked exasperated, but refrained from raising her voice.
"We depart, we lost time due to your inefficiency," the impatient taiyoukai standing in front of her regally announced.
Memories washed over her and she narrowed her eyes angrily. "I walked for more than twelve hours…I think I am not as weak as you want to believe." Anger and frustration made stand her ground against Sesshomaru.
He merely raised an eyebrow at the defiant pose she took in front of him. She barely reached his chest, and she believed she could be a match for him?
"I will let you know a certain secret, inuyoukai," she said with a daring tilt of her lips. "There is something in the world called acid. It corrodes things, eats them away. It is a great weapon and tool in my time."
His indifferent face didn't twitch.
Kagome wasn't deterred, though. "We produce lactic-acid as we exercise. That is why we tire easily. Our energies are not wasted off as heat as yours are: we produce weapons."
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed at the haughty look the miko took at that moment, he was not going to let her win. "Huh…this acid must be the reason for your unintelligence. It uses up the energy you needed in order to attain our higher intelligence."
He turned and walked away and Kagome growled totally frustrated, "Those are called neurons, pompous, uneducated, arrogant, jerk Inuyoukai!"
Neurons… "Hn."
To be continued…
JeniNeji's Note:
Thanks for all your support. You make me want to write more and more :3
Also, ehrm, Kagome lied in this chapter. We produce lactic acid when we exercise...but we don't take it out to make weapons or floor cleaners, ok?
