Why had he even bother showing up here? From what she had seen, it was obvious she wasn't needed and she was doing him a favor by leaving. Now he was free to be with his slut, whore, wench- whatever, she was all three. What a way to thank someone. Seeing that both were busy starring the other down, she slowly started to back away. This was most likely her only chance for escape and escape she would.

Koroshiya watched warily as Toga stepped into the light of the fire, his ire evident in his eyes. He sensed Kagome behind him, trying to move away without notice. She too was up to no good and it wouldn't do to have her disappearing on him like this. Especially if she new what was going on. Without turning, he stepped back and grabbed her. He brought her to his side and used one arm to keep her there.

Kagome let out a startled yipe, eliciting a growl from Toga. In one swoop, he had ruined her only plan of escape and brought her into the fray. She let all her anger land on Toga. Why did he even care that another touched her? Not that she welcomed the touch either, but he already had someone back at the Citadel waiting for him. She let out a "Humph!" as she crossed her arms and looked off to the side. She needed another plan . . .

" General Koroshiya."

"Lord Toga."

Kagome couldn't help but whip her head back around and stare at both Koroshiya and Toga. General! That was just her luck, to run into someone who not only knew Toga, but was apparently was under his command! She should have never agreed to his stupid company. Men where nothing but trouble!

"Why are you here with the girl?" Toga asked coldly, interrupting Kagome's internal rant. The least he could do was hear his General out before he killed him. Before he could finish contemplating, a flare of miko powers distracted him. He watched with obvious amusement as she stomped on Koroshiya's foot. "I see you had no idea she was a Miko?"

Koroshiya looked down at his foot, which was smoking, with wide eyes. Thankfully it was still there, if a bit singed. 'That ungrateful wench!' To think he was about to defend her from Toga; shoot, at this point he could have her! Looking up, he caught Toga watching him, merriment dancing in his eyes.

Toga could no longer hold on to his anger. It was obvious his little vixen wasn't interested in the General, and watching Koroshiya holding on to that foot reminded him of a bright, coral-colored bird with a long black beak. "For a Hawk, you sure do act like a flamingo!' he barked out in laughter, earning himself an angry glare from the Taka.
