Two Could Play that Game

She sat by the small fire she had started as dusk began to fall; legs pulled against her chest and arms wrapped around them she waited. At first she had been startled and embarrassed by her lack of attire upon his return; she was only in her kosode, which exposed a lot of her legs but he then spoke and what he said left her mouth a gape. There he stood tall, proud, head held high and still carrying a mud print of her declaring to her that he was The Great Inu No Taishō. 'Wow.'

Toga watched and waited for her response arrogantly. He assumed that she would be quick to ingratiate herself to him and crawl over groveling but none of that was happening. Her hands, which had been rubbing warmth into her exposed limbs, had frozen at his announcement. The corner of her lips twitched and he watched in disbelief as her shoulders began to tremble and slowly the rest of her began to shake.

A trill of laughter left her lips as her hands wrapped around her stomach, her modesty forgotten. Oh, this was priceless and he looked so sure about it. Did he really think that she would fall for it? To top it off he strode in confidently with his less then pristine clothes, which made the whole thing even funnier.

He narrowed his eyes as she continued to shake on the ground in laughter, tears once more streaming down her face. His patience with her disappeared quickly, as her laughter was renew with each look at him. Letting out a growl he appeared right in front of her eliciting a startled scream, which was quickly stopped by his hand. Was this girl daft? He just told her who he was and yet she still laughed at him.

Kagome wide eyed, watched as he removed his hand from over her mouth and took two-steps back. 'What the hell was his problem?' Swiftly getting up she dusted herself off; two could play this game and it wasn't lost on her the irony that she too was not dressed for the part. Holding her head high and offering her hand to Toga she waited patiently.

Toga arched an eyebrow and slightly narrowing his eyes studied her trying to calculate her motive. But finding no explanation for her hand being held out to him, grabbed it. He was momentarily startled at how warm and small her hand was but chastised him self for losing focus; he cleared his mind and refocused on the proffered hand. Perhaps, she had finally learned her error and was giving him the respect due.

Kagome mentally smirked in triumph. "Cleopatra Queen of Egypt." She said as coolly and as arrogantly possible, waiting for him to place a kiss upon her hand.
