Chapter 44: Air

How many times in his life had he gotten hit before; the answer was not that many and even less by females. His brown eyes glowed with lust but not the kind Kagome experienced the night before. The smell of charred flesh filled the air as his head turned back towards the girl, mouth parting to reveal the shark like teeth. " See Haku, the power is unreal, nothing like it before."

A hand shit out to wrap fingers around her throat, giving it a good squeeze to cut off the air supply. Easily he lifted her up and off of her feet as she squirmed against his hold, her hands gripping his wrist a weak attempt to break free. Black spots exploring over her vision as he continued to choke her. Lungs burning for the sweet nectar that is air, funny how a bunch of chemical components was the soul reason you needed to live.

A few moments longer and her body went limp in his grasp, dropping her body back down to the ground be turned and began to walk away. It was Haku that brushed away her hair to see the color slowly returning to the face, mouth open as shallow pants squeaked themselves out. Hearing his master call for him the smaller male sighed and picked up the woman, pumping his legs full of chakra so he could catch up, they made their way back to Kiri.
