Upon entering the residence he saw a maiden in the courtyard book in hand. She seemed gentle enough; it was hard to believe that she could be the shrew that they spoke of. He found nothing of interest about her; she seemed quite- docile.
She looked up startled to see him there and then a smile appeared on her face as Naraku stepped around him. "Naraku." She whispered as she courtesy trying to not show her joy at seeing him.
"Kikyo" he bowed and took her hand in his and placed a quick kiss on it.
So this was the love he spoke of. He would never understand human males and their taste in females, she was- simple. He spun around ready to leave, having seen enough and bumped into something, no not something some one-
"What the-!" she threw her arms out trying to grab something when she felt cool hands grip her upper arms. She quickly steadied herself and looked up to see almond eyes scrutinizing her. 'A yōkai!' And he still hand his hands on her; she smirked to herself.
Blue eyes glared at him in anger and then narrowed as a swirl of pink danced across his skin. Her, again! He had instantly recognized the aura from the Miko he had spied upon in the forest. Was- was she trying to purify him? He watched her in amusement go from anger to shock in a matter of seconds. He smirked to himself but remained impassive, barely arching an eyebrow at her.
He was now intrigued.

Remember if you ever wonder about a delay on the next chapter check my profile; I will try to post a chapter at least twice a week.
Thank you for reviewing chapter 9! KissaBoony, thanks for giving it a chance. I was once like you and couldn't see it either but after reading other fanfics with such pairings my eyes have been opened! ForTheloveOfDally, I completely hear you. This past week has been quite busy for me with yard work. That's why Freshman Year is late too.
