She was almost happy to say the words, if only because it made Youko's head tilt back up. "What does that mean?"
There was really no point in hiding it. "I'm on a uh...quest right now. So I can't."
"You want a favour...but you desire it at a later point in time?"
Er..."Yes?"
He made the unfortunate connection right away. "You ask a lot little priestess."
"It's Kagome."
"You audacious minx!" He declared. "And how were you planning on acquiring my assistance?"
She had not expected the slow smile that lit up the kitsune's face, but it had to be a good sign. "Swapping?"
At his expression, she tried for a different word. "A trade of information. See, I want to know more about you, and I figured that since you were hanging out for so long, you probably wanted to know more about me?"
It was a question, pure and simple, and one that Kagome still felt a little arrogant to be implying. Just because a powerful youkai had been toying with her for a few days didn't mean that he was actually interested in-

AN: Thank you to those of you who tried to help me with my innumerable issues regarding technology (including the IT guy who probably hated my incompetence and slight anger issues). I believe it's fixed (to the person who said I should uhm...undust my fan? (like I said, technologically incompetent), I have done thus and am hoping for great results) and once I test it by shutting it off I will tell you how it goes! I did email all of my Struggle WIP's to myself, so that I have a copy no matter what, and should everything go well I will post 'em two a day! But I'm too scared to restart this thing until after I make my PP for rat hippocampi and whatnot, so either I'll be unable to post come Thursday, or you can expect some awesome rapid updates! TBA.
